    Query focused multi document summarization is an emerging area of research. A lot of work has already been done on the subject and a lot more is going on. The following document outlines the effort done by us in this particular field. This work proposes an approach to address automatic Multi Document text summarization in response to a query given by a user. For the explosion of information in the World Wide Web, this work proposed a new method of query-focused multi-documents summarization using genetic algorithm, search engine are used to extract relevant documents and genetic algorithm is used to extract the sentences to form a summary, and it is based on a fitness function formed by three factors: query-focused feature, importance feature, and non-redundancy feature. Experimental result shows that the proposed summarization method can improve the performance of summary, genetic algorithm is efficient. We have developed a very powerful search engine one. On the same note, it also has a great potential for growth. It can be easily applied for systems with not only a few documents but for very large systems with a large number of documents

    Elevated blood pressure is officially referred to as hypertension. It's dangerous because it puts undue strain on the heart and encourages atherosclerosis, which raises the risk of heart disease and stroke. In addition to these conditions, hypertension can cause blindness, kidney damage, and congestive heart failure. Conventional antihypertensive drugs usually have a lot of side effects. Because of their greater body compatibility and less side effects, Herbal remedies are utilised in primary care by between 75 and 80 percent of the world's population who live in impoverished nations. In the past thirty years, a great deal of study has been conducted on native plants that have hypotensive and hypertensive therapeutic properties. While certain medicinal plants have been shown to have antihypertensive and hypotensive properties, others have not. Modern medicine should be integrated with the knowledge of Ayurveda, and more studies are required to verify the effectiveness and elucidate the safety profile of herbal remedies for lowering blood pressure. People with cardiovascular disorders—which can be caused by diseases of the heart and blood vessels are treated using medicinal plants. Hypertension raises the risk of a heart attack and stroke, which also damages the heart and accelerates atherosclerosis. These disorders are treated with a variety of drugs, however standard antihypertensive medications frequently have several side effects. Active substances found in medicinal plants can be used to treat hypertension since they have pharmacological and preventative properties. An overview of medicinal plants with hypotensive or antihypertensive properties can be found in this article

    In this digital era, massive open online courses (MOOCs) are receiving huge attention. MOOCs have moved beyond the academic circle. The high popularity and adaptation of MOOCs are only for being free and providing a totally new kind of learning experience. But there are the several challenges that the library and information science professionals will face as MOOCs take off. These include influencing faculties, copyright and licensing, delivery demographic and scale. This chapter shows how MOOCs integrate in the field of library and information science service in this digital age. </jats:p

    No full text
    Background: Mental health problems evolving from early childhood to adolescent period affect the processes of adaptation and capability in adulthood. Aims and Objectives: The study aims to study the prevalence of different types of behavioral disorders among children and early adolescents (6–12 years) and detect association between socio-demographic parameters and behavioral disorders as well as detect the behavioral problems for early treatment regarding their child’s behavioral problem. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted in the pediatric OPD and Adolescent Clinic of Calcutta National Medical College from March 2019 to February 2020. 176 patients were included after proper sampling and consent. Semi-structured socio-demographic profile sheet was filled up by parents. Individual child was assessed for various behavioral disorders using the Child Symptom Inventory (CSI)-4 parent questionnaire where data were collected from parents by the investigator through a single time interview. Results: Prevalence of Anxiety disorders was highest in our study, with increased incidence in females. Autism in children was found to be associated with their low birth weight. High incidence of disruptive, impulse control and conduct disorder was seen among boys and mainly in children living with single parent and mothers working. Conclusion: The study is based on informants’ perceptions of the children’s behavior. The study enables understanding of the behavior of children and associated contexts which is essential to make an interventional plan tailored to the needs of the child in the long run.</jats:p

    Assessment of knowledge and preventive practices towards COVID-19 among tribals living in tea gardens of Eastern India: An analytical cross-sectional study

    Introduction: The government of India has launched large-scale health education and vaccination campaigns to combat pandemic COVID-19. However, their effects on changing behavior and practices of the very vulnerable tribal communities remain largely unexplored. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to obtain COVID-19 knowledge and practice data from 390 households of 10 representative tea gardens of Darjeeling district, chose by cluster random sampling. Heads of each household were interviewed using a questionnaire containing 19 knowledge-related questions and 9 practice-related questions, marked on a 3-point Likert scale. A multivariable linear regression model was fitted to ascertain any association between sociodemographic parameters and participants' knowledge with COVID appropriate behavioral practice. Results: Most households were led by men and had a per capita monthly income of >INR 3000. The mean age of the respondents was 52.15 ± 10.14 years, with most being employed and having secondary-level education and above. The mean knowledge score was 30.16 ± 2.97, and practice score was 5.68 ± 1.54. The most common source of knowledge was from government and health-care campaigns. While most of the participants followed COVID-appropriate behaviors such as wearing masks and getting vaccine, hand hygiene (33.82%) and social distancing practices (32.05%) were found to be poor. Employment (P = 0.005) and knowledge about COVID-19 (P = 0.016) were significantly associated with a higher practice score. Conclusions: Among the tribal people assessed, good knowledge about COVID-19 was observed, owing to government efforts. However, while some COVID-appropriate behavior was widely adopted, hand hygiene, and social distancing were not
