Pathway toDetect Cancer Tumor byGenetic Mutation
Cancer detection is one of the challenging tasks due to the unavailability of proper medical facilities. The survival of cancer patients depends upon early detection and medication. The main cause of the disease is due to several genetic mutations which form cancer tumors. Identification of genetic mutation is a time-consuming task. This creates a lot of difficulties for the molecular pathologist. A molecular pathologist selects a list of gene variations to analyze manually. The clinical evidence strips belong to nine classes, but the classification principle is still unknown. This implementation proposes a multi-class classifier to classify genetic mutations based on clinical evidence. Natural language processing analyzes the clinical text of evidence of gene mutations. Machine learning algorithms like K-nearest neighbor, linear support vector machine, and stacking models are applied to the collected text dataset, which contains information about the genetic mutations and other clinical pieces of evidence that pathology uses to classify the gene mutations. In this implementation, nine genetic variations have been taken, considered a multi-class classification problem. Here, each data point is classified among the nine classes of gene mutation. The performance of the machine learning models is analyzed on the gene, variance, and text features. The gene, variance, and text features are analyzed individually with univariate analysis. Then K-nearest neighbor, linear support vector machine, and stacking model are applied to the combined features of a gene, variance, and text. In the experiment, support vector machine gives better results as compared to other models because this model provides fewer misclassification points. Based on the variants of gene mutation, the risk of cancer can be detected, and medications can be given. This chapter will motivate the readers, researchers, and scholars of this field for future investigations. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024. -

Pattern of acquisition of theory of mind in pre-schoolers: A cross-sectional study from South India
Background: Theory of Mind (ToM) is an important part of children's social cognitive development. The pattern of ToM acquisition depends on many factors including culture, the number of family members, and siblings. This study aimed to examine the pattern of ToM acquisition in Indian culture. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among preschool children (three to six years) (N = 118) from rural and urban backgrounds. ToM development was assessed using the Wellman and Liu Theory of Mind Scale and the Children's Social Understanding Scale (parent report). Results: The order of acquisition of ToM in Indian children was as follows: diverse desire> diverse belief> knowledge access> explicit false belief> content false belief> hidden emotion. The number of siblings positively correlated with the total ToM task score, and the number of adults in the family did not show any positive correlation. Conclusions: Although India is a collectivistic country, the acquisition pattern of ToM in our population was like that of individualistic countries such as the United States. 2023 Elsevier B.V. -
Pattern of Carbon Dioxide Emission, Economic Growth and Energy Consumption in South-Asian Countries: An Empirical Analysis
The main aim of this chapter is to analyse the pattern of environmental pollution as represented by per capita carbon dioxide emission (PCCO2), per capita gross domestic product (PCGDP) and per capita energy consumption (PCEC) and their nexus in case of South-Asian countries for the time period 19912014. Econometric tools such as panel co-integration and fully modified ordinary least squares have been used to study the relations. A positive significant relationship has been observed between PCGDP and PCCO2 emission. In addition, an increase in PCEC also has a positively significant impact on PCCO2 emission. Therefore, the governments of all the countries need to come together and take steps to curb the rising carbon emission since neither the problem nor the responsibility is restricted to one country alone. There is a need for countries to increase the consumption of renewable energy and explore alternate options that are fewer dependents on coal or any other fossil fuel. On priority, economies in South-Asian region should focus on sustainable economic activities by balancing growth of economy with clean environment. 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. -
