    Cervical cancer is known as a major health problem globally, with high mortality as well as incidence rates. Over the years, there have been significant advancements in cervical cancer detection techniques, leading to improved accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. This article provides a chronological review of cervical cancer detection techniques, from the traditional Pap smear test to the latest computer-aided detection (CAD) systems. The traditional method for cervical cancer screening is the Pap smear test. It consists of examining cervical cells under a microscope for abnormalities. However, this method is subjective and may miss precancerous lesions, leading to false negatives and a delayed diagnosis. Therefore, a growing interest has been in shown developing CAD methods to enhance cervical cancer screening. However, the effectiveness and reliability of CAD systems are still being evaluated. A systematic review of the literature was performed using the Scopus database to identify relevant studies on cervical cancer detection techniques published between 1996 and 2022. The search terms used included “(cervix OR cervical) AND (cancer OR tumor) AND (detect* OR diagnosis)”. Studies were included if they reported on the development or evaluation of cervical cancer detection techniques, including traditional methods and CAD systems. The results of the review showed that CAD technology for cervical cancer detection has come a long way since it was introduced in the 1990s. Early CAD systems utilized image processing and pattern recognition techniques to analyze digital images of cervical cells, with limited success due to low sensitivity and specificity. In the early 2000s, machine learning (ML) algorithms were introduced to the CAD field for cervical cancer detection, allowing for more accurate and automated analysis of digital images of cervical cells. ML-based CAD systems have shown promise in several studies, with improved sensitivity and specificity reported compared to traditional screening methods. In summary, this chronological review of cervical cancer detection techniques highlights the significant advancements made in this field over the past few decades. ML-based CAD systems have shown promise for improving the accuracy and sensitivity of cervical cancer detection. The Hybrid Intelligent System for Cervical Cancer Diagnosis (HISCCD) and the Automated Cervical Screening System (ACSS) are two of the most promising CAD systems. Still, deeper validation and research are required before being broadly accepted. Continued innovation and collaboration in this field may help enhance cervical cancer detection as well as ultimately reduce the disease’s burden on women worldwide.

    One of the most common diseases in women of reproductive age is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS diagnosis can be tricky, because not everyone with PCOS has polycystic ovaries (PCO), nor does everyone with ovarian cysts have PCOS, hence the pelvic ultrasound as a stand-alone diagnosis is not sufficient. The full diagnostic plan is mainly a combination of a pelvic ultrasound besides blood tests of specific parameters that indicate the presence of PCOS. Since PCOS is a hard-to-diagnose widespread hormonal disorder, blood tests, symptoms, and other parameters with the help of a computer can form a new and easy method to diagnose it. Therefore, we had successfully built a high performing diagnostic model using MATLAB. The data was obtained from the website Kaggle, and the dataset is called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. In this paper various machine algorithms were employed by utilizing seven classifiers. Results demonstrated that Linear Discriminant classifier exhibits the best performance in terms of accuracy, while in terms of sensitivity, the KNN classifier had the best result. Also, a comparison with four other research papers that exploited the same PCOS dataset was done in terms of implementation platforms, evaluation methods, classifiers, classes, accuracy, and precision of each classifier. Our research excelled among all in terms of accuracy and varied in precedence with precision. MATLAB had shown substantial results and a great model fitting embedded approaches, scoring a high accuracy and precision outcome compared to other studies. Other improvements on the overall PCOS prediction can involve employing preprocessed ultrasound images with the features presented in the dataset.

    Flooding is a significant concern in nations with frequent precipitation because it can instantly affect multiple regions simultaneously. Due to the unpredictability of their occurrence caused by rapid water level rise, it is challenging to predict such natural disasters accurately. During flooding, prompt rescue efforts are crucial for the affected population. Due to flooded highways and residences, rescue teams may have difficulty locating victims. This hinders the potentially perilous and time-consuming rescue operation. To address this problem, we propose a web-based system that integrates natural language processing (NLP) with global positioning system (GPS) functionality. The SOSFloodFinder system provides automatic classification priorities for text messages sent by flood victims, as well as their most recent or current locations. The classification of text based on priority enables efficient resource allocation during rescue operations. In conclusion, this system has the potential to reduce future flood-related fatalities. Additional research and development are necessary to thoroughly investigate this method’s practical capabilities and effectiveness.

    The classification of eye movements and blinks is an important task in various fields, including ophthalmology, psychology, and human-computer interaction. In recent years, the use of EOG signals and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has shown promising results in accurately classifying different types of eye movements and blinks. The Irisgram, which is a two-dimensional representation of the short-time Fourier transform in the shape of a human iris, has been used as a feature for distinguishing between different types of eye movements and blinks. Additionally, CNNs have been utilized to learn the features automatically from Irisgrams and classify the eye movements and blinks based on these learned features. In this paper, we provide a methodology to classify blinks and four eye movements by employing Irisgram as input to the CNN-SVM classifier which achieved test accuracy of 96.2% in the testing dataset.

    Computer programming and coding now face several obstacles in aiding students to improve their grasp of programming and coding. Furthermore, current programming approaches may more effectively measure children's programming aptitudes and abilities, necessitating a reassessment of programming training difficulties. Such a novel technique may compel educators to teach coding more effectively by crystallising multiple children's cognitive backgrounds. Considering this, the authors performed a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature (2022-2023) to identify critical mental elements and motives that might aid in gaining a broad understanding of coding learning. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was used to identify and choose relevant publications from three major internet databases: Scopus, Web of Science, and Eric. Initially, 2250 papers were reviewed and retrieved. However, this number was reduced to just 20 based on selection criteria. Several learning outcomes (assessments) and motivational elements (applications and tools) have substantially influenced children's coding and programming learning. According to the final discussion, children are motivated when exposed to pleasant and pleasurable coding environments.
