Quantitative Analysis of COVID-19 Patients

A new coronavirus-CoV-2 virus has caused disease outbreaks in many countries, and the number of cases is increasing rapidly through transmission from person to person. Clinical acoustics for SARS-CoV-2 patients are crucial to distinguish them from other respiratory infections. Symptomatic sufferers can also have pulmonary lesions on the photographs. A computerized tomography study in patients with suspected COVID-19 pneumonia consists of using a high-resolution approach (HRCT). Artificial intelligence applications need to be useful in categorizing the illness to an awesome severity and integrating the structured file, organized consistent with subjective issues, with objective and quantitative checks of the amount of the lesions. Data indicate the statistical document of the world in trendy. This method, with the aid of a coloring map, identifies floor glass in submission processing and separates it from consolidation and units it as a percentage in respect to the balanced weight loss program.

Maximizing Cost Efficiencies in Agricultural Supply Chains in Pakistan Using Smart Technologies

This chapter introduces the idea of integrating storage facilities in an agriculture supply chain within the established framework of supply chain network design to leverage the underlying powerful optimization technology for maximizing supply chain surplus. Further, storage facilities, particularly for perishable farm products, require to be maintained at certain ambient conditions to retain their quality. Currently, adequate storage facilities do not exist at strategic locations which incur very substantial post-harvest losses. The idea of solar-powered storage systems with a modular configuration has also been proposed. There are two principal reasons for this: (1) Pakistan has enormous solar power potential, and (2) there are rampant load-shedding problems in the country. While tomatoes have been selected as a typical product to develop the entire discourse, the resulting integrated model may be just as conveniently applied to any other agricultural product.

The chapter provides key findings and recommendations on the role renewables play in dealing with climate change both in interim and long run, influences on policies, and incentives that would shape its deployment.

Telemedicine for Healthier Community Development in Pakistan

Providing affordable and quality healthcare is the most burning demand for humanity. It is a fact that more or less half of the world's population resides in rural areas, and a majority of these people are left without the most basic amenities, such as healthcare and education. It is considered difficult to open and manage healthcare facilities in any community using traditional healthcare models for the states with limited resources particularly for developing countries. One of the most popular substitute tools is telemedicine to improve healthcare for underprivileged groups. In telemedicine, information and communication technologies (ICTs) are employed to ensure healthcare at a distance. On the other hand, one of the main problems in developing countries is the quality and cost of healthcare. In health research, telemedicine has become a new hope for eliminating bottlenecks. In this study, the authors have examined what challenges and issues developing countries are facing in implementation of telemedicine; particularly, they examine Pakistan as a case.

A Case Study of Investigation of Crime Management System Using ICT

Keeping the recent history of Anti Narcotic Force with accused records has been a growing concern for the agency. Nature of Addiction (NA) has witnessed a number of cases which resulted in death just because of mismanagement of records files. The author concludes the result of the software with a greater potential for new features. The author, therefore, considered also the possibility to add a secure way to authenticate the user. This chapter applies the idea of emancipation to apprehend the usage of management system amongst crime investigation in city and rural regions related to ICT and era; the author examines the Karachi Provincial Office for the Nature of Addiction (NA) and centers the product on keeping records of the accused and their employees' information through Excel sheets and paper files, which are managed by the mill to handle and keep each of the records by ordering.

Smart Public Participation

Systems that exist today tell us about their survival. They were the better possible outcome of their evolution in their given setup (environmental, economic, and political setup). Urbanization-led cities grew in diversity. An inclusive approach in planning through public participation, where people involved in planning process and represent their community, is suitable for such diversified planning regions. Participatory approach is a bottom up method where community planning plays a major role in addressing larger goals. Communities are a group of people with certain commonalities living together and hold equal rights to their community. Developments in ICT gave a smart approach to public participation, where people easily exercise their participation in decision making. The chapter addresses how technology is related to process and enables public participation in urban planning procedure. Addressing the case of Indonesia, the chapter explains how developing nations responds to technology interventions in urban planning.

Emotional Intelligence and ICT for Information Processing

Emotional intelligence is a way of knowing how one feels in a situation. And this emotional intelligence is used for self and for others also. People who are having high emotional intelligence can help others who are suffering from distress and they can help them to regulate their feelings from negative to positive. Emotional intelligence can either be an ability that can be enhanced, or it is a trait that cannot be enhanced, and people get it by birth just like hearing ability or any other ability which one has by birth. This chapter discusses all these aspects. It is said that high emotional quotient people include at least these three skills, and they are emotional alertness, the efficacy by which anyone can recognize and name one's own emotions, and the efficacy where one can tackle those emotions and implement them.

Women Empowerment

This chapter applies the idea of emancipation to apprehend the usage of cellular telephones amongst lady entrepreneurs in city and rural regions related to ICT and era. Data were accumulated via questionnaire and focused on institution discussions and were analysed by SPSS. The findings found that the majority of women from different countries were micro-entrepreneurs. In traditional operations such as marketing and distribution, data inflow, customer service delivery, compounded industry strategies, and revenues, woman marketers earned directly, which promoted improved profitability and organizational change. The look came to conclude that successful girls are beginning something new with a small investment instead of being inactive and searching out a process. It could be best for graduate owners to start their own commercial enterprises in partnership with NGOs and humanitarian resource corporations.

A Case Study of Career Counseling for ICT

In the education system, the students may find counselors, but student-to-counselor ratio is higher, which forces us to implement an automated system for the guidance of the students. Career counseling can be useful for students to evaluate their careers and select the best direction for the future. This chapter aims to explore, develop, and implement the effective means of analyzing student career counseling, guidelines, and decision making. The authors have developed a realistic dataset from a different mindset of students. The research started once the student provides the machine input about the individual choices about taking admission for matriculation, intermediate, and or short course. The machine learning algorithms like logistic model tree, naïve Bayes, J48, and random forest are used to predict career options. In evaluated results, they found the best algorithm based on the accuracy of kappa statistics, mean absolute error, and correctly classified or incorrectly classified for career-related problems.
