Mental Health Stigma: Strategies for Destigmatization in Healthcare Settings
Mental illness is one of the most common disabilities in the world. The term "mental illness stigma"describes harmful practices and misconceptions that lead to a detrimental effect on the mental health, motivation, and self-worth of those who suffer from mental illnesses. Health care services are important for treating and reducing the negative stigma of mental health, as they are areas where patients seek relief and support. The study aims to investigate the causes and how to reduce them. Explores ways to disrupt the health care environment, specifically the RESHAPE program, which focuses on the concept of "critical". This review paper looks at 8-10 papers on mental health and stigma and how stigma will be reduced. The results show that a large number of doctors and students are stigmatized, negatively affecting the lives of people affected by mental illness. RESHAPE, KAP, and IBH therapies are also effective ways to minimize mental health stigma. This intervention aims to educate public health workers, promote social cohesion, and integrate treatment into primary health care, improving treatment into primary health care, improving treatment quality and patient outcomes. The study draws attention to the importance of stigma reduction efforts in the long term in health education and practice emphasis. 2024 IEEE. -

An Efficient Compressive Data Collection Scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks
The Compressive Data Collection (CDC) scheme is an efficient data-acquiring method that uses compressive sensing to decrease the bulk of data transmitted. Most existing schemes are modeled as Non-Uniform Sparse Random Projection (NSRP), and an NSRP-based estimator is used. These models cannot deal with anomaly readings that deviate from their standards and norms. Therefore, we provide a new CDC strategy in this study that uses an opportunistic estimator and routing. Initially, neighbor nodes are identified using the covariance function following the Gaussian process regression, and the data transfer to the neighbor node is done using the compressive sensing technique. Compressed data are then projected by using conventional random projection. Finally, the sample required to retrieve data is estimated using margin-free and maximum likelihood estimators. Results show that the sample needed to retrieve the data is less in the proposed scheme. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024. -

Economic Growth, Automation and Environmental Degradation: An Empirical Evidence from Asian Countries
In the era of Industry 4.0 the increase in population as a result of environmental erosion is the prime concern in the global scenario, Asia as the biggest continent is very much applied to it. In this context assessment of the interrelation relationship between automation, financial development, environmental degradation, and per capita growth of 12 Asian Countries from 1995 to 2022 using the panel ARDL model, in addition to assessing the cause-effect relationship panel causality test also incorporated. As a part of ARDL PMG estimation results demonstrated that capital formation, import automation machinery, urban population growth, and ecological footprint positively impact per capita in the long term. But in this phenomenon, aggregate industrial value added negatively impacts per capita, because of automation labor displacement. Results from the causality test suggest that economic upswing, and urban population growth two-way causal relationship. However, capital formation, value-added, and ecological footprint positively impacted per capita growth. Regarding policy formulation need to formulate the necessary skill development program so that individuals can cope with the new decade of automation, in addition, ecological footprint as an indicator of environmental degradation positively impacts per capita growth, so the government needs to make a strategy at the societal level toward sustainable ecofriendly behavior. 2024 IEEE. -

Sentiment Analysis for Online Shopping Reviews Using Machine Learning
Everyday shoppers need reliable and insightful reviews of e-commerce websites to enhance their shopping experience. This research study explores sentiment analysis on Amazon reviews. It utilizes them as a diverse repository of customer opinions by unlocking their embedded sentiments, thereby recognizing their pivotal role in guiding potential buyers. Sentiment misinterpretations may result from many machine learning models that have trouble comprehending the context of Amazon reviews, particularly regarding subtle wordings, sarcasm, or irony. Additionally, these models can have biases that skew sentiment analysis results, mainly when working with a diverse set of Amazon review datasets. To overcome these, three machine learning models, namely, Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Bidirectional and Auto-Regressive Transformers (BART), and Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT) are used in this study. During the experimental research, it was observed that BERT gave the highest accuracy of 90% when compared with BART (70%) and GPT (84%) models. BERTs bidirectional contextual comprehension at identifying subtleties in language provides a thorough and realistic representation of the sentiments of Amazon users, which is why the model gave the highest accuracy.

Text Summarization Techniques for Kannada Language
Text Summarization is summarizing the original text document into a shorter description. This short version should retain the meaning and information content of the original text document. A concise summary can help humans quickly understand a large original document better in a short time. Summarization can be used in many text documents, such as reviews of books, movies, newspaper articles, content, and huge documents. Text summarization is broadly classified into extractive Text Summarization (ETS) and Abstractive Text Summarization (ATS). Even though more research works are carried out using extractive methods, meaningful summaries can be attained using abstractive summary techniques, which are more complex. In Indian languages, very few works are carried out in abstract summarization, and there is a high need for research in this area. The paper aims to generate extractive and abstractive summaries of the text by using deep learning and extractive summaries and comparisons between them in the Kannada language.
