The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to develop a classification method to distinguish between asymptomatic (AS) and knee osteoarthritis (OA) gait patterns using ground reaction force (GRF) measurements, and (2) to investigate OA severity within OA gait patterns. Features were first extracted from the GRF vectors to be used for classification. We investigated a two-level hierarchical classification and analysis method using the nearest neighbor rule. At the first level, the GRF data were classified into two classes: AS and OA. At the second level, the GRF data of OA patients were classified according to the pathology severity. The OA patients were grouped into two OA severity categories according to the Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) scale: KL 1 and KL 2 for one category, and KL 3 and KL 4 for the other. Experiments were conducted using data of 42 cases, 16 AS and 26 pathological. The method discriminated between AS and OA subjects with an accuracy of 38 of 42 cases, and assessed the severity correctly with an accuracy of 20 of 26 cases. These results demonstrated the validity of both, the feature and the classifier, for automatic classification of AS and knee OA gait patterns and for analysis of OA severity.

Plant disease is a mutilation of the normal state of a plant that changes its essential quality and prevents a plant from performing to its actual potential. Due to drastic environment changes, plant diseases are growing day by day, which results the higher losses in quantity of agricultural yields. To prevent the loss in the crop yield, the timely disease identification is necessary. Monitoring the plant diseases without any digital mean makes it difficult to identify the disease correctly and timely. It requires more amounts of work, time, and great experience in the plant diseases. Automatic approach of image processing and applying the different data science techniques to classify the disease correctly is a good idea for this which includes acquisition, classification, feature extraction, pre-processing, and segmentation all are performed on the leaf images. This chapter will briefly discuss the data science techniques used for the classification of the images like SVM, k-nearest neighbor, decision tree, ANN, and convolutional neural network (CNN).

Abstract Objective To assess the association between meniscal volume, its change over time and the development of knee OA after 30 months in overweight/obese women. Methods Data from the PRevention of knee Osteoarthritis in Overweight Females study were used. This cohort included 407 women with a BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2, free of OA-related symptoms. The primary outcome measure was incident OA after 30 months, defined by one out of the following criteria: medial or lateral joint space narrowing (JSN)  ≥ 1.0 mm, incident radiographic OA [Kellgren and Lawrence (K&L)  ≥ 2], or incident clinical OA. The secondary outcomes were either of these items separately. Menisci at both baseline and follow-up were automatically segmented to obtain meniscal volume and delta-volumes. Generalized estimating equations were used to evaluate associations between the volume measures and the outcomes. Results Medial and lateral baseline and delta-volumes were not significantly associated to the primary outcome. Lateral meniscal baseline volume was significantly associated to lateral JSN [odds ratio (OR) = 0.87; 95% CI: 0.75, 0.99], while other measures were not. Medial and lateral baseline volume were positively associated to K&L incidence (OR = 1.32 and 1.22; 95% CI: 1.15, 1.50 and 1.03, 1.45, respectively), while medial and lateral delta-volume were negatively associated to K&L incidence (OR = 0.998 and 0.997; 95% CI: 0.997, 1.000 and 0.996, 0.999, respectively). None of the meniscal measures were significantly associated to incident clinical OA. Conclusion Larger baseline meniscal volume and the decrease of meniscal volume over time were associated to the development of structural OA after 30 months in overweight and obese women.

RB Diori Ganda is a regional private banking company that serves savings and loans and loans without collateral for the community. Submission of unsecured loans must go through an assessor team to process the analysis of the attributes that Affect the customer's classification so that credit can be approved, the which is then submitted to the commissioner for credit approval. But what if Reviews those who apply for credit on the same day in large amounts, of course this will the make the process of credit analysis and approval will take a long time. If it is seen from the many needs of the community to apply for loans without collateral, a classification application is needed, in order to Facilitate the work of the assessor team in the process of analyzing the attributes that Affect customer classification. To find out the classification of customers who apply for unsecured loans for using data mining with the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm. The result of this research is the classification of problematic or non-performing customers for credit applications without collateral.

The achievement of accepting optimal tax need effective and efficient tax supervision can be achieved by classifying taxpayer compliance to tax regulations. Considering this issue, this paper proposes the classification of taxpayer compliance using data mining algorithms; i.e. C4.5, Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbor, Naive Bayes, and Multilayer Perceptron based on the compliance of taxpayer data. The taxpayer compliance can be classified into four classes, which are (1) formal and material compliant taxpayers, (2) formal compliant taxpayers, (3) material compliant taxpayers, and (4) formal and material non-compliant taxpayers. Furthermore, the results of data mining algorithms are compared by using Fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS to determine the best performance classification based on the criteria of Accuracy, F-Score, and Time required. Selection of the taxpayer's priority for more detailed supervision at each level of taxpayer compliance is ranked using Fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS based on criteria of dataset variables. The results show that C4.5 is the best performance classification and achieves preference value of 0.998; whereas the MLP algorithm results from the lowest preference value of 0.131. Alternative taxpayer A233 is the top priority taxpayer with a preference value of 0.433; whereas alternative taxpayer A051 is the lowest priority taxpayer with a preference value of 0.036.

Gait analysis is commonly used to detect foot disorders and abnormalities such as supination, pronation, unstable left foot and unstable right foot. Early detection of these abnormalities could help us to correct the walking posture and avoid getting injuries. This paper presents extensive feature analyses on smart shoes sensor data, including pressure sensors, accelerometer and gyroscope signals, to obtain the optimum combination of the sensors for gait classification, which is crucial to implement a power-efficient mobile smart shoes system. In addition, we investigated the optimal length of data segmentation based on the gait cycle parameters, reduction of the feature dimensions and feature selection for the classification of the gait patterns. Benchmark tests among several machine learning algorithms were conducted using random forest, k-nearest neighbor (KNN), logistic regression and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms for the classification task. Our experiments demonstrated the combination of accelerometer and gyroscope sensor features with SVM achieved the best performance with 89.36% accuracy, 89.76% precision and 88.44% recall. This research suggests a new state-of-the-art gait classification approach, specifically on detecting human gait abnormalities.

Osteoarthritis is one of the major causes of immobility and its current prevalence in elderly (>60 years) is 18% in women and 9.6% in men. Patients with osteoarthritis display altered movement patterns to avoid pain and overcome movement limitations in activities of daily life, such as sit-to-stand transfers. Currently, there is a lack of evidence that distinguishes effects of knee osteoarthritis on sit-to-stand performance in patients with and without obesity. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate differences in knee and hip kinetics during sit-to-stand movement between healthy controls and lean and obese knee osteoarthritis patients. Fifty-five subjects were included in this study, distributed over three groups: healthy controls (n=22), lean knee osteoarthritis (n=14), and obese knee OA patients (n=19). All subjects were instructed to perform sit-to-stand transfers at self-selected, comfortable speed. A three-dimensional movement analysis was performed to investigate compensatory mechanisms and knee and hip kinetics during sit-to-stand movement. No difference in sit-to-stand speed was found between lean knee OA patients and healthy controls. Obese knee osteoarthritis patients, however, have reduced hip and knee range of motion, which is associated with reduced peak hip and knee moments. Reduced vertical ground reaction force in terms of body weight and increased medial ground reaction forces indicates use of compensatory mechanisms to unload the affected knee in the obese knee osteoarthritis patients. We believe that an interplay between obesity and knee osteoarthritis leads to altered biomechanics during sit-to-stand movement, rather than knee osteoarthritis alone. From this perspective, obesity might be an important target to restore healthy sit-to-stand biomechanics in obese knee OA patients.

Abstract Background Adrenomedullin (AM) is a peptide which was suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis through its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effect. AM was found to be elevated in some inflammatory rheumatic diseases as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. The current study was performed to measure serum Adrenomodullin (AM) concentrations in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and to assess association with severity of the disease. The study was performed on 50 patients with primary KOA diagnosed according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Revised Criteria for Early Diagnosis of Knee Osteoarthritis and 20 age- and sex-matched controls with no clinical features of KOA. The Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) classification was used to evaluate the disease severity of knee OA. Disease activity was assessed by The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). Blood samples had been collected from patients with OA and controls for assessing Adrenomodullin in patients’ sera by ELISA. Results There were a significant increase in serum Adrenomedullin concentrations in KOA patients compared to controls (10.64 ±19.2 ng/ml vs. 1.39 ±1.6 ng/ml in cases and controls respectively) (p value = 0.036). There was positive significant correlation of serum Adrenomedullin levels with KL grades (r=0.608, p value <0.001). OA patients with VAS score >6 have significantly higher serum Adrenomedullin levels than OA patients with VAS Score <6. No detected significant correlation between any of (patients’ age, BMI, disease duration, tenderness score, and WOMAC score) with serum Adrenomedullin levels among studied OA cases (p values >0.05). Conclusion This study concluded that serum Adrenomedullin (AM) level is elevated in patients with KOA and is positively correlated with the severity of disease.
