Obtaining and managing a student’s details plays a vital role in academic database management and getting specific student details from the database becomes a very time-consuming process. Where the solution we bring to that problem is Face recognition-based Data Extraction. We will be implementing face recognition to detect the student’s face and match the detected face in the database to get that student’s details. To train the dataset we are using OpenCV (computer vision) a Python library. And we are training the dataset using classifiers. Once the face detection Is done and matched in the database it will display the output in a graphical user interface (GUI) we created using Tkinter.

Internet of Things Assisted Intelligent Walking Stick for Visually Impaired People to Identify Obstacles

Author

Those who are blind or have low vision have a far more difficult time travelling independently. There have been attempts to address the needs of the visually handicapped, but the problems that these solutions have failed to address have persisted. To help the visually impaired with everyday navigation and recognizing persons around them, the project proposes a novel concept for a smart blind stick equipped with a facial recognition technology. A smart blind stick, equipped with many sensors, will be developed as part of this project to assist the visually impaired. The specially-designed stick can detect potential dangers such as stairs, water, vibration, and fire, and it can then notify the visually impaired individual of these threats through haptic and auditory input. A blind person’s loved ones may be immediately notified of any assistance needs with the Stick’s “help me” button, and the device’s Internet of Things (IoT) modem allows for real-time position tracking. An on-board camera allows the blind person to capture images of obstacles as they arise, classify them using object recognition and deep learning, and then get audio cues to let them know what they’re up against. The proposed method establishes a connection to a server in the cloud by means of Internet of Things protocols and an Android web application.

Abstract
Background: A 42-year-old male with a documented history of uncontrolled hypertension despite consistent Telmisartan 40mg (Telma 40mg) use for three years presented with additional complaints of breathlessness. This case report explores the management approach and outcomes of a 12-day integrated intervention combining Triphala decoction and acupuncture (Taichong point) for this patient. Methods: The patient participated in a 12-day trial receiving Triphala decoction twice daily and daily acupuncture sessions targeting the bilateral Taichong (Liver 3) points. Blood pressure, weight, and body mass index (BMI) were monitored throughout the intervention. Results: Following the intervention, the patient exhibited significant improvements in blood pressure control, with systolic blood pressure decreasing by 20% and diastolic blood pressure by 13%. Additionally, weight and BMI demonstrated a 5% reduction. Notably, the patient achieved medication independence, discontinuing Telma 40mg by the 8th day. Conclusion: This single case report presents a patient with uncontrolled hypertension who experienced substantial improvements in blood pressure control, weight management, and medication independence following a 12-day integrated intervention using Triphala and acupuncture. While these findings are preliminary and require further investigation with larger studies, this case contributes to the growing exploration of integrative approaches for managing hypertension.

Abstract
The handling and accessibility of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) have been completely transformed by the growing integration of cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in the healthcare industry. This research presents a new method for implementing a lightweight blockchain-based access control system to meet the critical security and efficiency concerns in the sharing of fog- assisted IoT cloud-based EMRs. Thanks to the integration of data from several medical treatment applications and Internet of Things devices, the outsourcing of encrypted electronic medical records (EMRs) has become a fundamental aspect of the modern healthcare scene. This strategy has unmatched benefits, such as increased accessibility, efficient inter-professional collaboration, and a significant decrease in computational operation expenses. The goal of this research project is to maximise the effectiveness of EMR sharing while simultaneously strengthening the security of sensitive medical data. The suggested framework makes use of blockchain technology to provide a simple and safe access control system for the Internet of Things with assistance from Fog. By doing this, the system delivers strong resistance to unwanted access, transparent access, and data integrity.

Abstract
Cloud computing hides the details of the system implementation from the end users and developers. Applications runs on the undefined physical systems. Similarly, data is stored at undetermined locations. The systems administration is outsourced to others and accessed by the user globally. For the organizations making their transition to cloud, cloud security is an essential factor while choosing a cloud provider. The attacks are getting stronger day by day and so the security needs to keep up with it. For this purpose it is essential to pick a cloud provider who offers the best security and is customized with the organization’s infrastructure. Cloud security has a lot of benefits cloud security has become a top priority for most industries operating in the cloud environment. Cloud service providers and adopters don’t consider it as a discrete practice; instead, they embrace and consider it as a primary aspect of overall security practice and data protection strategy. From small and large to enterprise-level organizations, it has become a go-to solution for everyone at the current time. Automation and modern cloud technologies have made cloud security much more advanced and allow it to deal with security issues effectively. However, maintaining in-house cloud security was challenging, which is why many organizations emerged in the market to offer optimum cloud security solutions to everyone. Currently, many top organizations

Abstract
This research carefully investigates the implications of AI chatbots on job attrition, and through the combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis, it tries to go through a complex landscape of modern workplaces. With surveys, interviews as well as rate of attrition analysis, comprehensive knowledge is built which reveals that there is a relationship between adoption of AI and job disillusionment. The study also majors in the use of case studies and sentiment analysis that explains more about their personal experiences. The methodology stresses continuous monitoring, inclusive employee consultation and targeted training programs for enhanced adaptability. Eth- ical considerations such as privacy protection are pivotal to this study. Thus, the findings make specific suggestions for action while also functioning as an organizational compass for using AI chatbots without risking attrition due to no jobs so organizations can embrace technological integration into workforce well-being in future times.

Abstract
An innovative approach to diabetic retinopathy classification utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is presented in this research. Diabetic retinopathy, a severe complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness worldwide, necessitates accurate and timely diagnosis for effective treatment and management. A deep learning framework based on ResNet-18 architecture is developed to automatically classify retinal images into different stages of diabetic retinopathy. The proposed model demonstrates noteworthy accuracy and efficiency. Experimental results on a large dataset validate the effectiveness of the approach, offering potential applications in clinical practice for early detection and intervention of diabetic retinopathy. The findings of this research offer significant implications for enhancing healthcare outcomes in ophthalmology through the integration of artificial intelligence.

Abstract
Abstract — Intrusion detection is a security management system for a computer or computer networks. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a key to detect and prevent malicious activities. The network must be trained to detect intrusions. Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is defense mechanisms to detect malicious packets within network traffic and stop intrusions, blocking the aberrant traffic automatically before it does any. Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) used as a tool that provides the intrusion detection functionality by sniffing the network traffic in real-time and it performs intrusion detection through network connections and outside the host machine is more resistant to attacks by malware. In a traditional network, attacker’s entry monitoring, Intrusion detects and alert to the administrative user for network malicious activity by deploying IDS on key network points on user site. Cloud network IDS has to be placed at server site and entirely administered and managed by the service provider. Proposed efficient IDS administered and monitored by the user and expert advice for wireless sensor network administrator.
