Removing Powerline Interference from EEG Signal using Optimized FIR Filters

The Electroencephalography (EEG) is a signal representing the electrical activity of the brain and is used in the diagnosis of brain diseases. The EEG signal is weak and highly prone to noise from the powerline which generates a sinusoidal signal with the main frequency of 50/60 Hz. Therefore, three harmonics of powerline noise must be removed using notch filters for a perfect diagnosis which requires three series notch filters. This paper presents a new method to design a digital notch finite impulse response (FIR) filter using a modified particle swarm optimization technique. The proposed method provides a short length, maximum stopband attenuation, and small transition width compared to different algorithms which results in removing the noise in EEG signal efficiently.

Image Steganography Based Spatial and Transform Domain Techniques: A Review

The amount of data shared online today is increasing. Data security is therefore cited as a significant problem while processing data exchanges through the Internet. Everyone needs the security of their data during communication processes. The science and art of steganography is the concealment of one audio, message, video, or image by embedding another audio, message, video, or image in its place. It is employed to protect sensitive data against malicious assaults. In order to detect the numerous methods employed with digital steganography, this study seeks to identify the primary image-based mediums. As a result, in the spatial domain of the digital medium, the LSB approach was mostly employed, whereas in the transform domain, DTC and DWT were separated as the primary techniques. Due to its simplicity and large embedding capacity, the spatial domain was the most frequently used domain in digital steganography.

Adoption of Google Glass technology: PLS-SEM and machine learning analysis

This inclination is caused by the fact that the topic of technology incorporation has not received enough attention. The use of information and communication technology (ICT) like Google Glass has allowed instructors and students to engage in a technology-based educational setting because of the subsequent dramatic transformation. Yet, just a small number of schools and universities have started using Google Glass in their classrooms. This research aims to look at Google Glass adoption in the UAE. We reasoned those educating instructors and students about Google Glass's effective capabilities would help them make up their minds about adopting the device in classrooms. The layout of a framework that connects TAM with other influential factors is discussed in this study. To improve the interaction between instructors and learners in the classroom, this research explored the incorporation of the technology acceptance model (TAM) with the widely acknowledged potent features of the gadget, such as the teaching and learning mediator, "Motivation," and trust and information privacy. 750 questionnaires from various universities were acquired in total. According to the student's survey data gathered, the research model was studied using partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and machine learning models. The findings showed a significant association between motivation, trust, and privacy, as well as perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of Google Glass. Moreover, the adoption of Google Glass was substantially correlated with perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The perceived ease of use, trust, and privacy are all important factors in the adoption of Google Glass. These results' practical implications for subsequent research were also discussed.

A Neutrosophic Analysis of Alimony in Students of Legal Age as a Fundamental Right to Education

The right to food is closely related to the parent-child relationship and constitutes a right of the children and an obligation of the parents. Ecuadorian regulations seek to guarantee studies even when the children become adults and need to continue their academic training. University students are often forced to abandon their studies due to a lack of financial incentives. The objective of this study is to determine the factors that affect students' right to education when they reach the age of majority and the negative effects caused by the suspension of alimony. As a result, it is obtained through the use of the neutrosophic TOPSIS method to propose implementing legal reforms to extend alimony up to 24 years of age.

Comparative analysis of multicriteria methods based on single-valued neutrosophic numbers for the evaluation of medical technologies

Decision-makers are often faced with complicated decision problems with intangible and conflicting criteria. Many methods are proposed to handle the inclusion of many and varied criteria that allow choosing the best alternative for a decision. The public health sector daily faces numerous complex situations that require the facilities provided by multicriteria methods. This research proposes a comparative analysis of multicriteria methods for the selection of health technologies. With this, it is proposed to check to what extent the selected MCDAs are capable of offering consistent results among themselves. Comparisons are made using the TOPSIS method and a modification of the PROMETHEE method, both in their neutrosophic versions, by using single-valued neutrosophic numbers. The results showed that both methods coincided in the order of preference given to each treatment. However, it is observed that the method based on PROMETHEE yields more detailed information on the elections' interiorities. The effectiveness of the methods used can be verified and their practical and feasible application in complex medical problems.

Factors conducive to Pregnancy during Adolescence in Ecuador through Neutrosophic Statistics

Teenage pregnancy in Ecuador is a problem that continues to increase year after year. This, in addition to violating the rights of all girls and adolescents, perpetuates violence and inequality. Knowing the causes and consequences of teenage pregnancy allows planning action plans to combat them. The analysis of preliminary studies and surveys confirms levels of indeterminacy in the responses obtained for the study. This integration between neutrosophic sets makes it possible to reflect, through the representation of neutrosophic statistics, the level of deterioration of the factors that intervene in the full development from adolescence to adulthood. Consequently, the existing indeterminacy makes it necessary to model each element of the group studied to analyze the levels of deterioration associated with preventing teenage pregnancy in Ecuador.

Neutrosophic Analysis of Proposed Strategies for the Prevention of Domestic Accidents in Infants

Accidents in the child population are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, becoming a global public health problem today. The most affected population are children in the preschool stage, due to the vulnerability and dependency of the caregiver. The high demand for health services due to domestic accidents draws attention and the need arises to carry out actions that instruct mothers and relatives on their prevention. In the present investigation, a documentary review was conducted to know the main causes of domestic accidents. In addition, a survey was applied to a sample made up of mothers of children under five years of age, to evaluate their knowledge about domestic accidents and ways to prevent them, and risk perception. After analyzing the results obtained in the first part of the study, an expert consultation was carried out. The results were processed through multicriteria decision methods. This consultation made it possible to find feasible solutions for the proposed topic, achieving a proposal for an integral educational strategy.

Treatment Alternatives to Gingival Hyperpigmentation Using Neutrosophic Correlation Coefficients

Among the main techniques described in the literature for treating gingival melanosis are the use of chemical agents, free gingival grafts, abrasion with rotary or manual instruments (scalpel), cryosurgery with liquid nitrogen, gingivectomy and gingivoplasty, and the use of lasers. The present study implements a selective evaluation of therapeutic alternatives for gingival hyperpigmentation through the use of neutrosophic correlation coefficients. For this, a bibliographic review was carried out on the specialized documentary base to determine the main treatments in the matter of the object of study and the logic of neutrosophic sets, and the evaluation of experts. Using correlation coefficients between two single-valued neutrosophic numbers allowed the selection of a therapeutic alternative according to the experts' evaluations. This work allowed to verify the usefulness of neutrosophy as a means for solving complex real-life problems through the incorporation of uncertainties.

Application of Neutrosophic Techniques for the Selection of the in-Hospital Triage System

Multicriteria decision problems are present in all branches of life and present a high degree of complexity in determining a feasible solution. In the public health sector, decisions are even more delicate because they work not only with the direct influence of human needs but also with limited financial resources. Saturation in hospital emergency services occurs when the need identified exceeds the resources available for patient care in the emergency unit. One of the elements of primary regulatory effect on saturation levels in emergency services is undoubtedly an adequate triage system. The present study presents the application of multicriteria evaluation techniques as a method for the best selection of different types of triage according to certain pre-established parameters of interest. For them, we rely on a method that combines the TODIM and PROMETHEE methods to obtain the results. In addition, the neutrosophic single value sets based on the neutrosophic logic are used so that the indeterminate and inconsistent information typical of the real world can be adequately handled. The application of the method used demonstrates the efficiency of this kind of method in solving complex problems in real life and in different fields of society, particularly
