 Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic had caused the whole world to shut down, and practically every nation was in "lockdown" status. While the lockdown technique is a crucial step in slowing the exponential increase in COVID-19 cases, it also has well-known negative and positive effects on mental health. This study sought to analyze the prevalence of depression, anxiety, perceived stress, well-being, and other psychological difficulties in order to assess the psychological impact of lockdown brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic on working professionals.

 Abstract

Remarkable technological developments in recent years have opened up new possibilities of improving public health care system. Developments in computing, signal processing and communication technologies have resulted in new diagnostic instruments with better precision and connectivity with computing machines, communication gadgets and databases. However, many of these technical marvels are young by age and not yet available to all potential users at affordable cost. Among the various vital biomedical signals that can be collected noninvasively, ECG, PPG, SpO2 and PCG collected simultaneously, can help in examining electrical (ECG) and mechanical (PCG) functioning of heart, efficiency of lungs (SpO2) and condition of arteries (PPG). This promises to give a composite overview of the whole cardiovascular system non-invasively. We propose to develop a portable multi-parameter, non-invasive biomedical signal acquisition system (which can monitor, store and communicate the above mentioned four biomedical signals) for regular tele monitoring of patients especially with cardiovascular complaints. The device will be easy to use and can be operated by a paramedical staff with minimal training. It will be low-cost, so that a large population can be covered using multiple portable units. The gathered physiological data can be sent to the monitoring station and depending on the condition of the patient, further instructions can be issued from there. We also propose to analyse the different signals gathered and find correlation present in them which can lead to a better understanding of the whole cardiovascular system and assist doctors in early diagnosis of crucial symptoms. As an initial step towards that, Blood pressure (BP) and Heart rate (HR) is monitored using the gathered ECG and PPG signals from the device. The reliability of the device for BP and HR monitoring is estimated by comparing it with a clinically proven professional automatic digital BP monitor.

 Abstract

This paper presents the recent advancements in affordable open-source hardware platforms that enable the development of low-cost architectures for Intelligent Domotics using programmable object interface or Internet-of-Things (IoT)-enabled home automation and security systems. These systems usually consist of sensing and actuating layer that is made up of sensors such as passive infrared sensors, also known as motion sensors, temperature sensors, smoke sensors and other sensors. These sensors, smart electrical appliances, and other IoT devices connect to the Internet through a home gateway. This project lays out architecture for a cost-effective smart door sensor that will inform a user through an Android application, of door open events in a house or office environment. The proposed architecture uses an Arduino-Mega board along with the API. Several programming languages are used in the implementation and further applications of the door sensor and other applications of intelligent domotics are discussed.

 Abstract

Industrial gases are gaseous substances released from industrial facilities. A large number of gases and mixes are available in gas cylinders, but the main gases are nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, hydrogen, helium and acetylene. Industrial gas emissions result from the production of a variety of products and materials that are used in a variety of applications. Industrial gases are extremely dangerous and have a negative effect on anything or anybody exposed to them. Many employees in the industrial sector operate in a variety of departments including production, packaging, building, manufacturing, etc. They are in some way exposed to these dangerous gases, which have highly negative effects on them and occasionally even have fatal consequences. The sale or rental of gas cylinders and related equipment is also covered by this industrial enterprise providing tradespeople's tools and occasionally the general public. Even though they are frequently used for some applications, products like helium balloons, dispensing gases, welding gases, LPG, and medical oxygen emissions are harmful.

 Abstract

The proposed model of controlling traffic rule violations using ANPR techniques and image manipulation techniques for plate localization and character recognition is an efficient and cost-effective solution to address the increasing number of traffic rule violations. By using a camera-based PC system to capture video, the ANPR system can identify the vehicle number from the number plate quickly and accurately. Once the number is recognized, the SMS-based module is used to notify vehicle owners about their traffic rule violations. This can help in creating awareness among the drivers and also ensure that they are held accountable for their actions. Additionally, an SMS is sent to the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to track the report status, which can help in monitoring and enforcing traffic rules. Overall, the proposed model is a step towards automating traffic management systems and reducing the burden on human resources while ensuring road safety and efficient traffic management.

 Abstract

The demand for comfortable and affordable accommodations has led to an increase in the number of Pay Guest (PG) accommodations. However, finding the right PG can be a challenging task for many. In this study, we propose a Habitation Recommendation system that utilizes machine learning techniques to recommend the top 5 PGs based on the user's preferences. The system integrates Google Places autocomplete search for location-based search and a chatbot to gather user preferences based on personality traits. A survey was conducted to gather data on the behavior of residents in the PGs. The collected data were preprocessed, features were extracted, and the ML model was trained and tested. The ML model predicted the personality traits of the user, which were then used to filter the PGs based on the user's preference. Results showed that our system can effectively recommend PGs to users based on their preferences. The system can assist users in selecting the right PG based on their personality and preferences. This Habitation Recommendation system can help users in the accommodation selection process, making it more efficient and personalized.
