Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes loss of neural connections in the cells, and brain tissue volume. The disease first affects the hippocampus and entorhinal complex, which produce memories, then the cerebral cortex, which controls language, logic, and social conduct. Genetic mutations and environmental factors may cause AD, but the exact reason is unknown. AD is diagnosed using CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, and lumbar punctures to detect brain abnormalities, aberrant protein deposits, and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. Beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tau tangles impede neuronal transmission and function in AD. AD also causes chronic inflammation, blood-brain barrier impairment, brain atrophy, and neuronal death. AD has no cure, and current medications mainly manage symptoms and halt cognitive loss. Genetic, cellular, and molecular pathways are being studied to develop targeted medicines to stop disease progression. Extensive studies have shown that tau tangle accumulation and pathogenic changes to tau protein mechanics are correlated with AD pathogenesis. Thus, investigating the potential for therapies focused on restoring normal tau pathways and preventing tau accumulation is critical. Nanoparticulate drug delivery technologies may improve investigational medicines and lead to AD therapy breakthroughs.

Background: Deprescribing, a process of dose reduction or withdrawal of inappropriate medication that no longer has benefit, is a proposed intervention in the care of older adults living with frailty. Objective/Aim: To evaluate safety, clinical impact, and long-term outcomes of deprescribing services in frail patients, including the barriers and enablers of deprescribing services in such settings. Methods: A systematic review was performed in Scopus, CINAHL PLUS (EBSCO), MEDLINE (OVID and EMBASE) and Cochrane library. The Mixed Methods Appraisal tool (MMAT) was used for appraising the methodological quality of the included papers. Studies were selected after title, abstract, and full text screening, with independent review. Thematic analysis was used for analysing data from the selected articles. Results: 590 unique titles were identified, with 9 (6 trials, 1 interview, 1 survey, and 1 designed-delay study) meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Five mains descriptive themes have been identified: barriers, enablers, deprescribing services in frailty, safety management and deprescribing outcomes. Conclusion: This study provides limited evidence that deprescribing services in frail patients are effective in reducing the number of potentially inappropriate medications and medication costs. To further improve deprescribing in frailty, clinicians should consider a customised safety plan and benefit/risk assessment for each patient.

Background and Purpose: Drug repurposing has potential to improve the care for treatment resistant high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). We hypothesised that broadly targeting PARP for drug repurposing would elicit cytotoxic responses in HGSOC through multiple biological processes. Experimental Approach: in-silico ligand-based virtual screening BLAZE was used to identify drugs with potential PARP-binding activity. The list was refined by dosing and known cytotoxicity, lipophilicity, teratogenicity, and side effects. The highest ranked drug, efavirenz, progressed to in vitro testing. Eight HGSOC cell lines were used to determine the IC50 for efavirenz. To determine the cytotoxic effects of efavirenz in a more physiologically relevant model, 3D hydrogel-encapsulated models of HGSOC and patient-derived organoid models of HGSOC were established. Live-cell imaging was employed to quantify apoptosis and cell death. Western blots, cell cycle analysis and PARP activity assays were performed to determine whether PARP1 enzyme expression and activity was inhibited following efavirenz treatment. Key Results: IC50 for efavirenz was 25.02-46.28µM for cells grown in 2D. After 7 days, IC50 doses of efavirenz reduced cell confluency and induced cell death and apoptosis. IC50 values for efavirenz in 3D models were higher ranging from 27.8-55.11µM, and in four HGSOC patient-derived organoids ranged from 14.52-42.27µM. Interestingly, COV362 cells that have a BRCA1 mutation and HRD, displayed the highest IC50 to efavirenz in both 2D and 3D models. The percentage of cells in sub-G1 and G1 phase increased after 35µM and 45µM doses of efavirenz, indicating an increase in stalling in G1. Conclusions and Implications: Efavirenz may be a viable therapeutic option for HGSOC independent of HRD

Pediatric cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with γδ immunophenotype is extremely rare. Only a few cases of γδ T-cell neoplasm have been reported in the literature and therefore little is known whether γδ T-cell neoplasms in children are distinct from their adult counterparts with respect to the clinicopathological presentation, behavior and prognosis. In this study, we demonstrate three unique cases with increased γδ T-cells in malignant and non-malignant skin conditions of children. All cases showed an indolent clinical course. Full integration of clinical presentation, morphology, immunophenotype, and genetics supports the correct diagnosis and guides the treatment.

In response to the demand for battery packages in electric vehicles (EVs), a charging system with constant current (CC) and constant voltage (CV) two-stage output characteristics should be designed and implemented. This paper proposes an inductive power transfer (IPT) system with a double-sided inductor-capacitor-capacitor (LCC) compensation network connected with a series variable inductor (VI) on the secondary side. An IPT prototype with a transfer distance of 150mm and an output power of 3kW is built. In addition, within the set misalignment range, A constant current output mode of 7.85A and a constant voltage output mode of 400V can be achieved successively, avoiding adding DC/DC converters. The experimental results show that the energy transfer efficiency reaches 87.9% with the alignment of the magnetic coupling mechanism.

Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) typically leads to cervical cancer, skin related cancers and many other tumors. HPV is mainly responsible for evading immune tumor monitoring in HPV related cancers. Toll like receptors (TLRs) are particular pattern recognition molecules. When the body is facing immune danger, it can lead to innate and direct adaptive immunity. TLR plays an important role in initiating antiviral immune responses. HPV can affect the expression level of TLR and interfere with TLR related signaling pathways, resulting in sustained viral infection and even carcinogenesis. This paper introduces the HPV virus and HPV related cancers. We discussed the present comprehension of TLR, its expression and signaling, as well as its role in HPV infection. We also provided a detailed introduction to immunotherapy methods for HPV related diseases based on TLR agonists. This will provide insights into methods that support the therapeutic method of HPV related conditions with TLR agonists.

Context: In Colombia, the digital procedures carried out by a citizen must comply with a series of regulations and requirements. Problem: As a result, the implementation of these procedures can be very cumbersome and time-consuming. Proposal: Instead of using traditional development approaches, our proposal consists of (1) modeling the processes using BPMN - Business Process Modeling and Notation, (2) automatically generating the user interfaces so that they comply with the presentation and usability requirements established by Colombian regulations, and (3) managing the execution of the processes using a BPMS - Business Process Management System engine. Methodology: We followed the Design Science Research to develop a solution following the feedback of users and developers. Implementation: We performed an implementation using Camunda BPMS, Angular and .NET. Lessons Learned: The Camunda engine and its API met the requirements for modeling, implementing and controlling the digital procedures; however, special attention must be done to data definition (names, rules, type, etc.) and the process model design itself. Former can generate data quality problems and latter can produce unnecesary complex business process models. Conclusions: We note an acceleration in the digitization of the procedure used, because the flow of activities rested easily in the BPM engine and we were able to focus on developing the interface generator (complying the government requirements).

The necessary conditions for the optimal control of partially observed, fully coupled forward-backward mean-field stochastic differential equations driven by Teugels martingales are discussed in this paper. In this context, we make the assumption that the forward diffusion coefficient and the martingale coefficient are independent of the control variable, and the control domain may not necessarily be convex. For this class of optimal control problems, we derive the stochastic maximum principle based on the classical method of spike variations and the filtering techniques. The adjoint processes that are related to the variational equations are determined by the solutions of proposed forward-backward stochastic differential equations in finite-dimensional spaces. Further, the Hamiltonian function is used to obtain the maximum principle for the optimality of the given control system. Our results are then applied to the mean-field type problem of linear quadratic stochastic optimization.

Introduction: Acute bronchiolitis (AB) is a common reason for admission to the pediatric emergency department (ED). Evidence has shown that most interventions do not change the natural course of the disease. Methodology: The aim of this study was to evaluate the economic impact of the non-compliance with the AB Portuguese national clinical guideline (CG). A retrospective study of pediatric emergency episodes (EP) of a Portuguese hospital that had a diagnosis of AB during 2019 was conducted. Results: The sample included 344 EP. Non-compliance with the national CG occurred in 71,8% of the episodes, mostly due to unjustified treatment. Following GC in the studied ED for one year would have resulted in an estimated overall 76,6% cost reduction, with a reduction in mean direct costs (MDC) per patient of 14,93 \euro, corresponding to a medium saving of 3,89 \euro for each patient and a reduction of 11,03 \euro for the Portuguese National Health Service (NHS). Analyzing the unjustified MDC, of these 2,97 \euro were related to DT and treatment in the ED and the remaining 11,96 \euro were related to outpatient therapy. MDC imputed to the patient for outpatient treatment represented only 3,31 \euro, in this sense most of MDC is paid by the NHS. Conclusions: Compliance with GC would allow the reduction of total estimated costs by about 76.6%, representing a waste of resources, without compromising the quality of care provided. Most of the cost associated with non-compliance with the CG is justified by outpatient therapy, 67% of which was paid by the NHS.

A 24-year-old man presented with fever, throat pain, and diffuse myalgia. Examination revealed an ulcerated right tonsil, twice the size of the contralateral one, which showed no signs of inflammation. No trismus or abscess were observed, and airway obstruction was ruled out with fiberendoscopy. Blood tests showed an elevated white blood

The analysis of the law of drought propagation under climate change is of great significance for drought early warning and reducing social and economic losses. In spite of large spatiotemporal variability in drought propagation, the propagation probability and threshold from meteorological to hydrological droughts were not examined at seasonal and regional scales over the Luanhe River basin. To estimate the propagation probability and threshold of the Luanhe River basin, the meteorological and hydrological variables were obtained at a grid resolution of 0.25◦ Lat × 0.25◦ Lon in this study. Based on the GAMLSS framework, the stationary model and the non-stationary model were constructed to capture the characteristics of seasonal droughts without considering climate change and considering climate change. Then the Copula model was constructed, and the drought propagation probability and the threshold under stationary and non-stationary conditions were calculated. The results show that, under the combined influence of AMO, temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, the propagation probabilities became larger and the propagation thresholds became higher, especially in spring and winter in the upstream and midstream regions. The increase in temperature and the decrease in relative humidity may be the key factors contributing to the occurrence of hydrological drought in the basin.

Genetic studies of Domesticated-Weed-Wild Complexes (DWWC) have typically focused on one-way introgression of crop alleles into wild or weedy populations, with little consideration of the entire natural ecosystem. In Sri Lanka, DWWC is diverse, comprising six evolutionarily discrete groups in the genus Oryza. Using 33 neutral simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci, we characterized six Oryza groups to understand the genetic background and evolution of DWWC components. Our analysis found that Oryza groups have large population sizes and high inter-group long-term gene flows. Asymmetric gene flows were found between wild and weedy rice groups, but the rare alleles shared among DWWC components provide additional evidence for extensive and enduring exchange, highlighting the dynamic nature of this complex genetic admixture among different Oryza lineages. We found high genetic diversity at the population and species levels due to mixed DWWC components over the generations. Weedy rice types exhibit genetic incorporation through admixture from both crop and wild species, highlighting the multi-way genetic transfer in the evolution of weedy rice types. Our findings support the idea that the DWWC is an integrated complex in the Sri Lankan rice ecosystem and that its weedy rice has multiple origins, including de-domestication via feralization of cultivated rice, inter-varietal hybridization among distinct cultivated rice types, adaptation, and invasion of rice cultivation areas by wild Oryza species, and hybridization events between crop and wild rice populations. Abandoned rice domesticates can also evolve into weedy forms with less intimate human relationships and contaminate the rice ecosystem.

Camouflage treatment of Severe Skeletal Class II and Gummy Smile Patient with 3D Simulation, Mini-Screws, and Botulinum Toxin: A case report after 1-year follow-up. Viet HoangDang Thi Nhu ThaoIntroductionThe most common reason to approach an orthodontist is esthetic concern which is compromised by malocclusion [1]. Skeletal Class II malocclusion has always been a challenge and often needs the assistance of surgical orthodontics in orthodontics, especially when it is combined with a gummy smile. However, if patients can't afford orthognathic surgery treatment, non-surgical orthodontic treatment is a viable option. The skeletal anchorage system has now widened the spectrum of orthodontics and is also very well accepted by patients [2-3]. Besides, botulinum toxin is a good option after orthodontic treatment for treating gummy smiles [4-5]. Case reportDiagnosis and etiologyThe patient was a 29-year-old woman with the chief complaint of deep bite, retrudedmaxillary incisors retruded mandibular incisors, and excessive overjet. Extraorally, she had a convex profile with a normal nasolabial angle, a gummy smile 5mm on both sides, and incompetent lips. The symptom of temporomandibular disorders was a painful joint on both sides. (Figure 1b)Intraorally, the patient had a Class II molar and canine relationship on both sides. In the lower arch, she had mild crowding and a deep Curve of Spee. The small upper lateral incisors created Bolton tooth size discrepancy 3-3. The lower midline was coincident with the facial midline, but the upper midline was deviated 1 mm to the left. The gingival biotype is thin-scalloped. (Figure 1a)The lateral cephalometric analysis showed a skeletal Class II jaw relationship with the normal maxilla and retruded mandible (SNA, 82.4°; SNB, 75°; ANB, 7.4°), and normal lower facial height (FMA, 25°). The maxillary incisors were retroclined and the mandibular incisors were proclined (U1-SN, 89.8°; L1-MP, 89.5°). Both the upper and lower lips were in front of the E-line. The panoramic radiograph showed all the teeth were present. (Figure 1c,1d) Treatment plan1st Stage: Orthodontic treatmentAfter making the individual 3D simulation [6] for the decision (Figure 1e), the treatment plan was a wisdom teeth extraction upper and lower with 3 mini screws distalization upper and torque upper incisors, proclined lower incisors a little by class II elastic for compromise treatment. After treatment, 12 22 filling for solving Bolton discrepancies. To reduce excessive overbite and distalize the upper and retract maxillary incisors, control the occlusal plane and gummy smile. 3 mini-screws were used in the maxillary arch. After the treatment, filling was indicated for 12 and 22 for aesthetics and good occlusion achievement. (Figure 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) 2nd Stage: Botulinum toxinBotulinum toxin after treatment is an indication for reducing gummy smile. Two doses of botulinum toxin were indicated. (Figure 3f) Treatment resultsAll treatment objectives were achieved with a well-aligned dentition and improved facialesthetics. Upper incisors were retracted and torque and lower incisors were proclined a little, overbite and overjet are normal, as class I occlusion and reduced gummy smile after treatment. We got Class I "canine" and molar relationships, normal overbite, and achieved midline correction by distalization upper, torque intrude upper incisors.Maxillary and mandibular intra-arch width was slightly expanded with the uprighting of molars. The whole treatment resulted in the retraction of both upper and lower lips, resulting in a passive lip seal and straight profile after treatment. Good root parallelism was achieved with a little root resorption because of torque and intrusion of upper incisors. On cephalometric superimposition, the lower curve of Spee was leveled by upper and lower incisors intrusion and lower incisors proclination. There was an improvement in the incisor inclination and soft tissue profile, particularly the E-line and nasolabial angle. These changes were further confirmed with cephalometric analysis, which showed an increase in the inclination of the maxillary incisors by 5.2°. But after the treatment, the L1 – MP angle is 105° for achieving dental lass I relationship of compromise treatment. Combining orthodontic treatment and botulinum toxin, the gummy smile was treated well. (Figure 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e) After 1 year follow-up, the occlusion was stable but the gummy smile relapsed because the time for botulinum is 4-6 months, so we need to redo it every 4-6 months. The patient was happy with the result so we don’t do it again. (Figure 4) Discussion:The patient complained about her gummy smile, maxillary protrusion, and difficulty in closing her lips. After active treatment and retention, these orthodontic problems were satisfactorily relieved through the intrusion of the upper incisors and the elimination of the class II dental malocclusion. The upper lip became more relaxed and was placed more backward, which allowed the patient to close her lips effortlessly For camouflage of severe class II skeletal malocclusion combined gummy smile, 3D simulation for treatment planning is useful for clinicians. In 3D views, we can see the problems and prepare for the mechanics. In this case, mini-screws are the key to a successful result. With mini-screws, we can manage the gummy smile, and control the occlusal plane and distalization for solving class II dental malocclusion at the same time. Conclusion:Surgical orthodontics is not a very common and acceptable procedure. However, the use of a skeletal anchorage system has broadened the horizon of camouflage treatment in moderate to severe skeletal dysplasia. Simultaneous intrusion and distalization of anterior teeth are now possible with mini-screws without losing anchorage and vertical control. Stable occlusion is key in the long term for orthodontic treatment. Ethical StatementBecause this report involves no experiment, ethics approval was not required.  AcknowledgmentThe authors would like to thank the patient for giving their consent. Patient consentWritten informed consent was obtained from the patient to publish this report by thejournal's patient consent policy. Conflict of InterestThe authors report no conflict of interest. Author contributions: VH: patient treatment, diagnosis, treatment planning, manuscript preparation, review, and editing.

This letter proposes a polarization microwave correlation imaging method based on the orthogonal complement space. It utilizes the orthogonal complement space of the HV antenna radiation field to cross-multiply the echo information, enabling simultaneous correlation imaging and instantaneous polarization measurement of the target. Currently, there is a significant research gap in polarization-driven microwave correlation imaging methods, and the existing relevant studies focus on enhancing the randomness of the radiation field using polarized antenna elements, without incorporating polarization information into the imaging process. Through simulation analysis, this method further improves the quality of microwave correlation imaging and its ability to resist interference. Moreover, under low time-frequency products, the peak sidelobe level (PSL) and isolation (I) of this method are approximately 3.5 dB and 12.5 dB higher, respectively, than those of traditional instantaneous polarization measurement (TIPM)methods.

INTRODUCTIONThe concept of cantilevered fixed partial denture (CFPD) was described as early as 1960.1 Subsequently, the innovations in dental materials and adhesive dentistry allowed for the description of full ceramic CFPDs as a sound solution for the replacement of missing anterior teeth in 1997.2 Since this initial description, this therapeutic solution has provided patients with a minimally invasive alternative to three-unit fixed partial dentures (FPD). The indication of CFPD is often disputed in comparison with an implant-based treatment, which in some cases, can present challenges, or even be contraindicated. In this regard, CFPDs benefits from more reproducible esthetics, quicker execution and lower costs.2The question remains, however, whether this method would also be suitable for the replacement of missing teeth in the posterior sector, the main problem being the significant increase in occlusal loads on the premolars and molars.3 Different teams have begun to develop posterior CFPDs and some already have the necessary follow-up to validate this practice.4-8 The material used in these early clinical trials has been zirconia doped with 3%mol yttrium oxide (3Y-TZP), which gives the best mechanical properties at the expense of low aesthetic translucency. Yazigii and Kern recommend a thickness of 0.7mm zirconia of the overlay part and a connector of at least 3mm in vertical section and 3mm in horizontal section to ensure the mechanical resistance of the CFPD’s pontic in the posterior sector.6 This case report describes the realization of a reinforced glass-ceramic CFPD replacing à first premolar, this material opens the possibility of single appointment chairside production, and has superior adhesive and esthetic characteristics compared to zirconia.9-11 Its lower mechanical resistance is however to be taken into consideration,12 but still might be suitable if some prerequisites are met.

Metal-covalent organic frameworks (MCOF) as a bridge between covalent organic framework (COF) and metal organic framework (MOF) possess the characteristics of open metal sites, structure stability, crystallinity, tunability as well as porosity, but still in its infancy. In this work, a covalent organic framework DT-COF with a keto-enamine structure synthesized from the condensation of 3,3’-dihydroxybiphenyl diamine (DHBD) and triformylphloroglucinol (TFP) was coordinated with Cu2+ by a simple post-modification method to a obtain a copper-coordinated metal-covalent organic framework of Cu-DT COF. The isomerization from a keto-enamine structure of DT-COF to a enol-imine structure of Cu-DT COF is induced due to the coordination interaction of Cu2+. The structure change of Cu-DT COF induces the change of the electron distribution in the Cu-DT COF, which greatly promotes the activation and deep Li-storage behavior of the COF skeleton. As anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), Cu-DT COF exhibits greatly improved electrochemical performance, retaining the specific capacities of 760 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles and 505 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g−1. The preliminary lithium storage mechanism studies indicate that Cu2+ is also involved in the lithium storage process. A possible mechanism for Cu-DT COF was proposed on the basis of FT-IR, XPS, EPR characterization and electrochemical analysis. This work enlightens a novel strategy to improve the energy storage performance of COF, and promotes the application of COF and MCOF in LIBs.

India launched the world's largest health assurance scheme in 2018, declaring it a giant step towards Universal Health Coverage. The concept of Universal Health Coverage, as defined by the High-Level Expert Group in India, entails both protection from financial hardship and addressing social inequities in access to health. India has a remarkable number of health government-funded health insurance schemes. However, these schemes have time and again proven to be a failure in achieving Universal Health Coverage. In this paper, we discuss the evolution of the government-funded health insurance schemes in India over the period and its attempt towards achieving UHC. Given the vast diversity in the demographics of India and various healthcare needs, we attempt to view Universal Health Coverage as a wicked problem. A wicked problem occurs due to the existence of an underlying problem and discrepancies in its representation. The path of Universal Health Coverage in India entails ten central pillars under which policymakers must address the web of problems. We argue that the characteristics defining a wicked problem make Universal Health Coverage arduous for policymakers. And that the path to achieving Universal Health Coverage cannot be a straight one with a government-funded health insurance scheme. This perspective article intends to draw the attention of the policymakers and relevant stakeholders to view achieving Universal Health Coverage beyond the scope of offering means-tested financial protection and impart an interdisciplinary approach to attain Universal Health Coverage.

Heterogeneous catalysts promoting efficient production of reactive species and dynamically stabilized electron transfer mechanisms for peroxomonosulfates (PMS) still lack systematic investigation. Herein, a more stable magnetic layered double oxides (CFLDO/N-C), was designed using self-polymerization and high temperature carbonization of dopamine. The CFLDO/N-C/PMS system effectively activated PMS to remove 99% (k=0.737 min-1) of tetracycline (TC) within 10 min. The CFLDO/N-C/PMS system exhibited favorable resistance to inorganic anions and natural organics, as well as satisfactory suitability for multiple pollutants. The magnetic properties of the catalyst facilitated the separation of catalysts from the liquid phase, resulting in excellent reproducibility and effectively reducing the leaching of metal ions. An electronic bridge was constructed between cobalt (the active platform of the catalyst) and PMS, inducing PMS to break the O-O bond to generate the active species. The combination of static analysis and dynamic evolution confirmed the effective adsorption of PMS on the catalyst surface as well as the strong radical-assisted electron transfer process. Eventually, we further identified the sites where the reactive species attacked the TC and evaluated the toxicity of the intermediates. These findings offer innovative insights into the rapid degradation of pollutants achieved by transition metals in SR-AOPs and its mechanistic elaboration.

The side-chain has a significant effect on the optical properties and aggregation behaviors of the organic small molecule acceptors, which becomes an important strategy to optimize the photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). In this work, we designed and synthesized three novel nonfused ring electron acceptors (NFREAs) OC4-4Cl-Ph, OC4-4Cl-Th and OC4-4Cl-C8 with hexylbenzene, hexylthiophene and octyl side chains on the π-bridge units. Compared with OC4-4Cl-Ph and OC4-4Cl-Th, OC4-4Cl-C8 with linear alkyl side chain has more red-shift absorption, which is conducive to obtaining higher short-circuit current density. Additionally, the OC4-4Cl-C8 film exhibits a longer exciton diffusion distance and the D18:OC4-4Cl-C8 blend film displays faster hole transfer, weaker bimolecular recombination, and more efficient exciton transport. Furthermore, the D18:OC4-4Cl-C8 blend films can form good nano fibril-like interpenetrating networks, which can facilitate exciton dissociation and charge transport. Finally, OC4-4Cl-C8 based devices can generate an excellent PCE of 16.56%, which is much higher than OC4-4Cl-Ph (12.29%) and OC4-4Cl-Th based (11.00%) ones, being the highest PCE among the NFREA based binary devices. All in all, we have demonstrated that side-chain engineering is an efficient way to achieve high-performance NFREAs.

Our personalities have a big impact on our daily life. It affects how we think, feel, act, and express ourselves and how our mental health is affected. The work will make use of the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Dataset from Kaggle (MBTI). The Myers-Briggs 16 personalities, also known as personality types, are a subset of the MBTI. The four factors—introversion versus extraversion; sensing versus intuition; thinking versus feeling; and judging versus perceiving—are used to classify human personality. The 16 personality types of the MBTI are formed from these four fundamental dimensions. In our work, we apply different machine learning algorithm on the MBTI dataset and do a comparative study with our proposed model based on CNN+BiLSTM along with CPSO optimizer on MBTI dataset. CPSO optimizer is based on the social behaviour of the animals. Based on the idea of animal swarm intelligence displayed in flocks and shoals, this method sought to optimize nonlinear continuous functions. In juxtaposed with other state-of-the-art techniques, the CNN+BiLSTM with CPSO optimizer model outperformed well with 93.85% accuracy, 93% precision, 93% recall, and 89.99% F1 Score.

This study embarks on a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 442 machine learning articles published between 1989 and 2019. Leveraging keywords such as “machine learning”, “hybrid machine learning”, and “hybrid decision tree” in the Google Scholar database, we collated articles and scrutinized them based on diverse parameters, including the language of publication, year, software employed, number of pages and authors, citation count, keywords, and methodologies utilized. Our research findings spotlight a noteworthy uptick in publications post-2008, predominantly in the English language. The most commonly used machine learning method, such as SVM, KNN, and ANN, have been determined. the most popular software tools like WEKA and MATLAB, have been determined. While feature selection methods, particularly the Genetic Algorithm and Information Gain, are widely used, there exists a marked underutilization of ensemble learning techniques. Within the scope of the study, the most frequently used parameter optimization methods were also determined. This study, which includes important information such as commonly used machine learning techniques, feature selection approaches and parameter optimization strategies, can guide researchers both as a retrospective overview of the development of machine learning and as a guide to increasingly used methods such as ensemble learning.

With many practical applications print human life today such as manufacturing surveillance cameras, analyzing and processing customer behavior, …, the problem of face detection and head pose estimation on digital images is being noticed by many researchers. A large number of proposed deep learning models have state-of-the-art accuracies such as YOLO, SSD, and MTCNN, solving the problem of face detection or HopeNet, FSA-Net, and RankPmodelsodel used for head pose estimation problems. According to big many state-of-the-art methods, the process of this task consists of 2 parts face detection to head pose estimation. These two steps are completely independent and do not share information with each other. This makes the model clear print setup but does not leverage most of the featured resources extracted in each model. In this thesis, we proposed the PoseMultitask model with the motivation to leverage the features extracted from the face detection model, sharing them with the head pose estimation branch to improve accuracy. Also, with the variety of data, the Euler angle domain representing the face is large, our model can predict results in the 360° Euler angle domain. Applying the multi-tasking learning method, the PoseMultitask model can simultaneously predict the position and direction of the human head. To increase the ability to predict the head direction of the model, we change the representation of the human face from the rom Euler angle to vectors from the Rotation matrix.
