Consumers are ultimately responsible for ‘behavioural’ risks to their health, but the behaviours in question are also those of manufacturers and governments, and the burden of choice on consumers is lighter when shared. Governments, in particular, have the motives, means, and powers to intervene between commercial supply and consumer demand. Among the most effective instruments of government are taxation and regulation, especially for the control of single, major causes of illness such as tobacco and sugar. Taxes put a value on the future, today: consumers and manufacturers can choose to pay immediately for the costs incurred to society in future, or switch to healthier lifestyles and business practices. In practice, governments under pressure from lobbyists tend to under-tax harmful commodities, so other enticements are needed too. In this context, empirical studies show health promotion is complementary to disease prevention—making health gains while avoiding health losses—especially when the joint benefits for health are large.

Handwriting is an action administered by the brain like each and every other action. This procedure is frequently insensible and is closely tied to instincts from brain. Any kind of sickness affects the kinetic movement and reflects in a person’s handwriting. To recognize the health and mental problems, it is important to focus on how the person writes instead of what person writes. This also makes the procedure of handwriting analysis is independent of at all languages. Person handwriting is scientific proof that whatsoever person writes subconsciously it affects in handwriting. The structures related to motion, time and pressure have been used for analysis of person health. Cancer is the second top cause of death globally, and is accountable for an estimated 9.8 million deaths in 2019. Universally, around 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. On an approximation 72% of deaths due to cancer are in middle and low salaried countries. One third deaths from cancer are due to 5 foremost dietary and behavioural risks that are low fruit and vegetable intake, lack of physical activity, high body mass index, tobacco use, and consumption of alcohol. Cancer can be cured if the person gets to know as soon as possible. So, substitute method to patterned whether the person is diagnosed from a cancer or not, can be done by handwriting sample. For this testing 100 various person sample are used for diverse handwriting data samples. To find a solution to this mounting problem we propose the method of cancer characteristics detection by utilizing handwritten text by machine learning, SVM. Various machine learning methods were used to find a model, which can discriminate statistically Cancer patients with approximately 90%accuracy. The classification we use to discriminate are SVM, Naïve Bayes algorithms.

This article reviews the behavioural risks and possible mitigations for re-opening large venues for sports and music events when Covid-19 infection rates and hospitalizations begin to decline. We describe the key variables that we suggest will affect public behaviour relevant to the spread of the virus, drawing upon four sources: (1) relevant evidence and recommendations from the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours produced for the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE); (2) research evidence from non-pandemic conditions; (3) research on behaviour during the pandemic; and (4) relevant theory. We first outline some basic risks and a framework for understanding collective behaviour at live events. We then survey some trends in UK public behaviour observed over 2020 and how these might interact with the opening of live events and venues. We present a range of mitigation strategies, based on the framework for collective behaviour and on what is known about non-pharmaceutical (i.e. behavioural) interventions in relation to Covid-19.

Diseases of the circulatory system are leading causes of death, which compel stakeholders to lessen cardiovascular risks by utilising more effective prevention. These risks can be estimated based on gender, age, smoker status, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol. Artificial neural networks enable modelling of 10-year cardiovascular mortality rates. Understandable communica-tion of potential gains in life expectancy may enhance health consciousness through mitigating behavioural risks. The reproduction of death statistics requires the adjustment of the recommended probabilities for the occurrence of fatal cardiovascular events. This study deals with countries at high and low cardiovascular risk, selecting Hungary and the Czech Republic (high risk) and Austria (low risk). In Hungary, the gains in life expectancy are (43.4 – 36.2 =) 7.21 years for fe-males and (37.4 – 28.0 =) 9.4 years for males, both aged 40. These figures moderate to (21.2 – 15.6 =) 5.72 and (17.1 – 11.3 =) 5.8 years for elderly people aged 65, respectively. The Czech Republic represents an interim phase between the two other countries regarding ad-vancement in life expectancy, the respective gains exceed the Hungarian values: (45.8 – 37.8 =) 8.0, (39.7 – 29.7 =) 10.0, (23.0 – 16.6 =) 6.4, and (18.2 – 12.3 =) 5.9 years. In contrast, a 40-year-old woman may benefit from an additional (46.6 – 41.3 =) 5.3 years in Austria, while the corresponding accrual for men is (42.3 – 35.7 =) 6.6 years. On reaching 65 years, the increment is (23.4 – 19.3 =) 4.1 and (20.0 – 16.1 =) 3.9 years.
