Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by progressive dopaminergic neuron loss, leading to both motor and non-motor symptoms. Early and accurate diagnosis is challenging due to the subtle and variable nature of early symptoms. This study aims to address these diagnostic challenges by proposing a novel method, Localized Region Extraction and Multi-Modal Fusion (LRE-MMF), designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy through the integration of structural MRI (sMRI) and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data. The LRE-MMF method utilizes the complementary strengths of sMRI and rs-fMRI: sMRI provides detailed anatomical information, while rs-fMRI captures functional connectivity patterns. We applied this approach to a dataset consisting of 20 PD patients and 20 healthy controls (HC), all scanned with a 3 T MRI. The primary objective was to determine whether the integration of sMRI and rs-fMRI through the LRE-MMF method improves the classification accuracy between PD and HC subjects. LRE-MMF involves the division of imaging data into localized regions, followed by feature extraction and dimensionality reduction using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The resulting features were fused and processed through a neural network to learn high-level representations. The model achieved an accuracy of 75 %, with a precision of 0.8125, recall of 0.65, and an AUC of 0.8875. The validation accuracy curves indicated good generalization, with significant brain regions identified, including the caudate, putamen, thalamus, supplementary motor area, and precuneus, as per the AAL atlas. These results demonstrate the potential of the LRE-MMF method for improving early diagnosis and understanding of PD by effectively utilizing both sMRI and rs-fMRI data. This approach could contribute to the development of more accurate diagnostic tools. 2024 The Authors

LSTM-MGTO: a novel early breast cancer detection using long short term memory based modified gorilla troops optimization algorithm
Intersection over Union (IoU) metric; LSTM-MGTO (a technique combining long short-term memory and modified Gorilla troop optimization); Mammary neoplasm; U-Net (a neural network architecture); WDBC and BCCD (two datasets related to breast cancer diagnosis)
One of the most prevalent and severe tumors in women, breast cancer, remains a major global health issue despite a notable increase in incidence over the last ten years. It is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Identifying breast cancer in its early stages has the potential to save lives; however, current screening techniques for the illness require several laboratory procedures involving medical experts. Automated solutions with rapid and reliable diagnostic capabilities are needed to minimize human error and expedite breast cancer diagnosis. The projected accuracy of cancer diagnosis remains far from matching the precision offered by existing approaches, even with the research on automated systems for the disease being studied. This work suggests a long short-term memory-based modified Gorilla troop optimization (LSTM-MGTO) method for breast cancer classification in order to address these issues. The Mastectomy Koibra Dataset (BCCD) and Wisconsin Diagnostic Mastectomy (WDBC) datasets were used to test the suggested methods. First, the proposed system employs contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) to enhance the quality of digital mammograms. Furthermore, employ a semantic deep learning (SDL) model to extract features. After the feature selection process, a recursive feature elimination technique was implemented to determine the crucial WDBC and BCCD characteristics that are relevant to breast cancer detection. Moreover, recommend a modified U-Net architecture for partitioning in both unmapped and guided contexts. The experimental findings indicate that the newly developed partitioning model surpasses existing advanced techniques, yielding superior results in both Dice and IoU score evaluations. On the WDBC and BCCD datasets, the suggested U-Net segmentation produces maximum Dice scores of 97.65% and 96.24%, respectively. Additionally, the model obtained the greatest IoU scores of 95.43% and 90.65% on the WDBC and BCCD datasets, respectively, according to the experimental findings.

Luminescence and energy storage characteristics of coke-based graphite oxide
Bandgap; Fluorescence; Graphite oxide sheets; Supercapacitor
The substantial escalation in both energy consumption and ecological crisis prompts the utilization of conventional pollution-causing energy resources towards a proficient mode of energy production and storage. The most polluting fossil fuel like coal possesses a highly ordered sp2 carbon clusters, that can be easily tailored into graphene derivatives promising for energy-related applications. However, the impact of crystallinity and quality of the precursor coke on the physicochemical characteristics of extracted carbon nanostructures need to be identified. Herein, we have prepared graphite oxide structures (GrO) from high-quality coal, coke via Improved Hummers' method eliminating the need for toxic NaNO3. The inherent defect states own by coke are also of high significance as it performs the role of various photoluminescence emission centers. The sp2 domains and different surface defects promote excitation independent and dependent luminescence substantiating the distinct multi-emission property of GrO. The extent of functionalization during the oxidation process has also significantly affected the thermal stability of the carbogenic structure. The symmetric galvanostatic charge-discharge curves and lower internal resistance present superior stability and fatser ion transport of as-synthesized GrO. A specific capacitance of 193F/g was obtained at 0.2A/g with excellent capacitance retention over 2500 cycles. The versatile attributes of the coke derived GrO validate its realizable optoelectronics and energy storage applications. 2020 Elsevier B.V.

CT scans; Lung cancer; Residual blocks; Squeeze-and-Excitation; VGG
Lung cancer has been one of the most common and deadly types of cancer around the globe, for which early detection is quite crucial for patient survival. In this research work, a deep learning-based method for four-class classification of chest CT-scan images, such as Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Large Cell Carcinoma, Adenocarcinoma, and Normal, is presented. With a modified VGG16 architecture, adding Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) blocks and residual connections, the enhanced SERES_VGG16 model enhances feature representation and classification accuracy. The dataset we used here contains preprocessed chest CT-scan images divided into a training set, validation set, and test set. It is trained with augmentation techniques in the data to improve generalization. Its performance is evaluated using measures of standard performances, such as F1-score, recall, precision, accuracy and confusion matrices. The model achieved over 95% accuracy, class-wise precision ranging from 94 to 99%, recall ranging from 88 to 99%, F1-score from 93 to 96%. The presented approach reached over 95% accuracy on the test set and can be a trusted second opinion for radiologists to assist with early and accurate lung cancer subtype classification. However, this study is constrained by the small size of the dataset and the lack of other clinical parameters like genetic information. Future studies will concentrate on expanding the dataset and integrating multi-modal clinical information for enhanced robustness. This work in this study justifies the importance of deep learning in the classification of the medical images and points out further ways toward improving automated diagnostic systems.

Lung cancer detection and classification with optimal feature selection and two-fold-deep-learning-classifiers
CT images; DTO; Lung cancer detection; Manhattan Distance-based-GLCM; Optimized U-NETS; M-CNN
The respiratory system is undoubtedly hampered by lung disorders. Also, one of the important reasons for death among people all around the world has been lung cancer. Early discovery can advance human survival probabilities. As a result, a unique ensemble-deep-learning paradigm for lung cancer detection and classification is established in the present research effort. The projected model includes five major phases: (a) image augmentation, (b) pre-processing, (c) segmentation, (d) feature extraction, (e) feature selection, and (f) lung cancer detection and classification, respectively. The collected raw CT images are augmentation with SMOTE. The augmented images are pre-processed via Median Filtering (for noise removal) and Contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) (for image contrast enhancement). Subsequently, from the pre-processed data, the ROI is identified via optimized U-NETS. The activation function (hyper-parameter) of U-NETS is optimized via a new hybrid optimization model-Digging Tunaswarm Optimizer (DTO). This DTO is the conceptual amalgamation of two standard meta-heuristic optimization models, namely Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) and Tuna Swarm Optimization (TSO) models, respectively. Then, from the selected ROI area, the features like texture features (Manhattan Distance-based-GLCM, GLRM), Color features (Color Histogram), and Shape features (Moments, Area, Perimeter) are extracted. Among the extracted features, the optimal features are selected using DTO. This optimal feature selection reduces the computational complexity of the projected model. Finally, using these extracted optimal features, the two-fold-deep-learning-classifier framework is trained. This two-fold-deep-learning-classifiers framework encapsulates the Bidirectional long-short term memory (Bidirectional LSTM) and the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and the Modified Convolutional Neural Network (M-CNN). In the first phase, the Bi-LSTM and RNN are clamped, and they are trained with the selected optimal factors. The outcome from Bi-LSTM and also RNN was fed as input to M-CNN. Final detected findings based on the existence or absence of lung cancer are acquired from the M-CNN, whose loss function has been modified with RMSE. Finally, a comparative evaluation is undergone to validate the efficiency of the projected model. The proposed model has a higher overall accuracy (92.4%) detecting modelling accuracy (96.3%) and classification accuracy (92.4%) compared to other models such as HBA, TSO, CNN, 3D CenterNet, and TSCNN. The use of a two-fold deep learning framework is responsible for these improvements, and the model also has lower failure rates (FPR and FNR) in detecting lung cancer. It is suggested that the proposed approach is effective in early-stage lung cancer detection.

Lung cancer detection using image processing techniques
Binarization Approach (BA); Feature Extraction; Gabor Filter (GF); MRI Images; Thresholding Approach (TA)
Lung cancer is one of the hazardous disease which leads to high death rates in the world. A cancer is an irregular growth of cells that can be characteristically derived from a single irregular cell and that may spread to whole part of the lung. So, it is necessary to find it at the earlier stages and take basic steps to cure.CT scan is one of the sensitive method used in the medical field for treating the patients. The quality of the image is very important for detection of lung cancer. Pre-processing of an image is a necessary process, as there is a difficulty in detecting cancer cells in an image due to the presence of noise and low-quality of images. To reduce the volume of these problems, diagnosis of lung cancer steps like image enhancement, image segmentation, feature extraction methods can be used. For processing and implementation of these methods Matlab tool has been used. This paper focuses on improving the quality of image and to optimise the work. Implementation is done using image processing toolbox that is available in Matlab tool.The whole idea of this research is to show the improved work in the existing system and to get more agreeable results.

Lung tuberculosis detection using x-ray images
Canny edge detection; Graylevel threshold; Median filtering; Tuberculosis; Watershed segmentation; X-Ray
This research work is based on the various experiments performed for the detection of lung tuberculosis using various methods like filtering, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. The results obtained from these experiments are discussed in this paper. Lung tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that causes more deaths in the world than any other infectious disease. Two billion people are infected with tuberculosis all around the world. Lung tuberculosis is a disease caused by a bacteria known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Tubercle bacillus. This research work strives to identify methods by which patients, who require second opinion for an already identified result, can save a lot of money. Once we receive X-ray image an input, pre-processing methods like Gaussian filter, median filter is applied. These filters help to remove unwanted noise and aid to get fine textural features. The output obtained from this is taken as an input and applied to water shed segmentation and gray level segmentation which helps to focus on the lung area of the obtained results. Output from these segmentation methods is fused to get a Region of Interest (ROI). From the ROI, the statistical features like area, major axis, minor axis, eccentricity, mean, kurtosis, skewness and entropy are extracted. Finally, we use KNN, Sequential minimal optimization (SMO), simple linear regression classification methods to detect lung tuberculosis. The results obtained in this paper suggests KNN classifier performs well than the other two classifiers. Research India Publications.

LungDxNet: AI-Powered Low-Dose CT Analysis for Early Lung Cancer Detection
Artificial Intelligence; Deep Learning; Low Dose CT; Lung Cancer; Machine Learning
Early and accurate diagnosis, however, is still lacking for the most common form of lung cancer, and this remains one of the leading cancers leading to mortality. CT scans are widely used for lung cancer screening; however, their manual interpretation is time-consuming and prone to variability. This study introduces LungDxNet, a deep learning-based framework that integrates transfer learning to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Using a large dataset of Low Dose CT (LDCT) scans, the system is built with fine-tuned pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) such that feature extraction is reliable though minimal reducing radiation exposure. Consequently, LungDxNet involves the integration of component segmentation techniques that have been used to isolate the lung regions and discriminate the cancerous nodules from the malignant and benign cases. Very rigorous evaluations were performed on the model against both conventional machine learning and state of the art deep learning architectures. Results show that there is a substantial reduction of false positive and false negative resulting in a superior accuracy (98.88), sensitivity, and specificity. This design is to be scaled, robust and clinically applicable, making it a potential real world lung cancer diagnosis tool. Deep learning and transfer learning has excellent power to transform lung cancer detection, and this research brings awareness of how far we can optimise and integrate into clinical workflow. The model is enhanced for future work and adapted for real time diagnostic applications. 2025, Sakarya University. All rights reserved.

Lyrics of longing: Exploring the role of music in the lived experience of homesickness among college students
coping; emotion; functions of music; nostalgia; perception
The study investigates the multifaceted role of music during homesickness among first-year college students in India. As compared to other mental health outcomes, homesickness is a relatively understudied phenomenon, yet noteworthy due to its direct association with depression and anxiety. Although empirical evidence about music highlights its therapeutic potential for managing stress and anxiety, few studies have explored its role in connection with homesickness. The data for this study were collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 students about their perception of using music during homesickness. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis, the emerging themes pointed to a mixed influence, highlighting the bittersweet nature of music during homesickness. While music validates feelings and boosts confidence and motivation, it also triggers restorative nostalgia and serves as an escape from confronting homesickness. Moreover, native songs fostered an appreciation for ones culture and helped students connect with their roots. The study contributes to understanding how music is a versatile tool for students dealing with homesickness, offering solace and potential challenges. It serves as a guide to future intervention studies that could explore musics long-term influences. Recognising the diverse ways students perceive and respond to music provides valuable insights for developing tailored interventions and support systems. The Author(s) 2024.

m-quasi-?-Einstein contact metric manifolds
(?,)-contact manifold; m-quasi-?-Einstein metric; Sasakian manifold; ?-Ricci soliton
The goal of this article is to introduce and study the characterstics of m-quasi-?-Einstein metric on contact Riemannian manifolds. First, we prove that if a Sasakian manifold admits a gradient m-quasi-?-Einstein metric, then M is ?-Einstein and f is constant. Next, we show that in a Sasakian manifold if g represents an m-quasi-?-Einstein metric with a conformal vector field V, then V is Killing and M is ?-Einstein. Finally, we prove that if a non-Sasakian (?, )-contact manifold admits a gradient m-quasi-?-Einstein metric, then it is N(?)-contact metric manifold or a ?-Einstein.

Machinability and surface integrity for Mg AZ61A alloy composite by employing Taguchi integrated grey relational analysis
ANOVA; AZ61A Mg alloy; Grey relational analysis; Stir casting; Wire EDM; ZrB2
The present experimental study seeking to identify the optimal processing parameters in WEDM of Mg AZ61A-ZrB2 composite using Taguchi integrated grey relational analysis (GRA). Wire-cut electric discharge machining (WEDM) is the most effective method of metal removing process which is utilized in a variety of industries, like defence, biomedical, automotive, and aerospace. It is widely used in the machining of conductive and hard materials like composites and super alloys. In this experiment, the Mg AZ61A alloy composite reinforced with 12 wt% ZrB2 particles was fabricated through stir casting method. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mapping ensured the presence of matrix elements and reinforcement in the developed composite. The material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra) were examined with relation to the processing factors such as pulse current (Ip), pulse on-time (Ton), and pulse off-time (Toff). The machining was conducted in compliance with Taguchi's L9 array. According to the GRA results, the optimal ranges of factors for achieving the better MRR and Ra were found at 4 amps of Ip, 15 ?s of Ton, and 45 ?s of Toff. The ANOVA results confirm that Ip was the most dominating factor that contributing to 37.58 %, next by Ton (30.96 %) and Toff (12.85 %), respectively. The confirmation test was demonstrated that the actual and predicted GRG values are fairly close to one another with 13.36 % improvement. The morphology of the machined surface was examined and it was shows the formation of a recast layer and the existence of flaws. 2025 The Authors

Algorithms; Decision-making; Fuzzy logic; Intelligent security; Machine intelligence
The way things are made has changed a lot because of Industry 4.0. It has also led to a time with great technology and relationships. The paper discusses way to improve security in Machine Intelligence in the setting of Industry 4.0. The study uses a mix of methods to combine Fuzzy Logic with cutting-edge Industry 4.0 algorithms in order to deal with new hacking problems. Because fuzzy logic can deal with doubt and imprecision, it can be used to make current methods more reliable. This creates a complex and flexible security structure. The merger was carefully planned to make the methods for finding anomalies, reducing threats, and responding to incidents work better. The suggested method aims to make machine intelligence systems more resistant to complex cyber dangers by combining the best parts of Fuzzy Logic with Industry 4.0 algorithms. This study adds to the growing conversation about how to keep smart factory settings safe by focusing on a proactive and dynamic security model. The effects of this mix of methods could be felt in many different industries, making it possible to use advanced technologies in a safer and more reliable way in the age of Industry 4.0. 2024, Taru Publications.
