Facial recognition has been used in several areas such as security, detection

of criminals or suspects etc. The face of a human being conveys a lot of

information about identity and the face is considered as the most important

part of human body in person identification process. In this paper; a real-

time Face Recognition System for monitoring the highly secured areas

rather than relying on human security officers has proposed. The proposed

system engaged with the Viola-Jones algorithm for detecting the human

faces from a web camera. After capturing the image, the detected face is

resized to the required size. Local Binary Pattern (LBP) was used to find the

similarities and once the identification is done, automatically it recognizes

the face.

Keywords: local binary pattern (LBP), feature extraction, classification,

pattern recognition, histograms, feature vector.

Facial feature recognition has been utilized in a few zones, for example, security and

recognition of crooks or suspects. This paper proposes a real-time mouth detection System for

monitoring smart banking areas rather than relying on human security officers. The

proposed system was based on the fact that the crooks covering their mouths by a veil or a full

face head protector; so they can't be perceived by anybody. Viola-Jones' object detector

alongside haar-like cascade features is utilized to distinguish the facial geometry especially,

face, mouth, and nose. The ATM will be frozen at detection of a suspicious coverage of a face.

With the development and popularity of smart devices, streaming data is continually generated

at the edge of network. Under those edge scenarios, it takes high latency to process the

streaming data by cloud computing. And uploading the raw data to cloud server by networks

faces the data privacy issues. Streaming edge computing provides an opportunity to fill the

gap between the real-time process and data privacy protection by conducting the major

computing at the edge of networks where the streaming data is generated. In the paper, we

propose and build SCCS, a Streaming data Cooperative Computing System which is suitable

for edge environment. This system (i) cooperatively conducts data analysis tasks on several

servers at the edge of network topology; (ii) utilizes the geographically distributed data set;

and (iii) protects data privacy and data value. A case study of computing real shared bicycle

distribution demonstrates how edge nodes servers cooperate with others to process streaming

data on real time.

In this study, it is investigated whether the diversification of banks' asset items has a financial

impact on the risk level. In the analysis, the data of the 15 largest banks in the Turkish Banking

Sector have been used. The total sector share of these banks is 90.1%. In the analysis, 2 of the

financial data belonging to the period 2008-2017 were considered as dependent and 9 were

considered as independent variables. Dependent variables are weighted data of credit risk

undertaken by banks according to BASEL regulation / equity and market risk data / equity data.

The independent variables are; Non-Interest Income / Non-Interest Expenses, Liquid Assets / Short

Term Liabilities, Liquid Assets / Asset, Derivative Products / Equity, Loan / Asset, Non-Performing

Loans / Loans, Financial Assets / Asset and Active Diversification Value.Laeven and Levine (2007)

investigated the effect of the diversification strategy applied by financial institutions on the market

values covering 43 countries between 1998 and 2002 in their study. The asset diversification was

formulated for the first time in this study. The formula for asset diversification was also used in our

study. Asset diversification (1- ((Net Loans – Other Income Assets) / Total Income Assets) is

calculated with the help of the formula.In this study conducted by using Panel Data Analysis, it

was seen that the asset diversification decreased the risk in some banks, whereas in some banks the

effect was lower.According to Modern Portfolio Theory, diversification is expected to reduce the

risk. However, in this study, this result has not been achieved in some banks. Based on the data

obtained, it is considered that it is important to take into account the correlation between the asset

items when banks are diversifying assets. In the studies conducted with the perspective of asset

diversification, it is generally seen that the issues such as firm value, profitability and performance

are prioritized. In this study, it is thought that questioning the relationship between diversification

and balance sheet risk level will contribute to the literature.

The aim of this study is to investigate the contribution of differentiation in the liability structure of

banks to productivity. In the analysis, the data of 2008-2017 period of the 15 largest banks operating

in the Turkish Banking Sector for 10 years were used. In the literature as efficiency indicator

(dependent variables) accepted in the analysis: • Asset, Deposit, Loans, Profit Per Branch

• Asset, Deposit, Loans, Profit Per Employee, • Non-Interest Income/Non-Interest Expenses,

• Average Return on Assets and Average Return on Equity taken into account. As input(independent

variables); Financial Assets/Total Assets(X1), Total Loans/Total Assets(X2), Non-Performing

Loans/Total Loans(X3), Credits Received/Total Assets(X4), Equity/Total Assets(X5), (Equity-Fixed

Assets)/Total Assets(X6) and Liability Diversification(X7) data are used. In order to calculate

liability diversification, we used the diversification method used by Laeven and Levine (2007) in

their study. Liability diversification (1-(Total Deposit-Other Cost Liabilities)/Total Cost Liabilities)

is calculated separately for each bank with the help of the formula. In the study, canonical correlation

analysis was performed. It can be concluded that there is a strong linear relation between bank

performance measures and liability diversification measures. When the first three canonical variables

with the highest canonical correlation are examined, the independent original variable with highest

linear correlation with first canonic dependent variable is x2, the independent original variable with

highest linear correlation with second canonic dependent variable is x5 and the independent original

variable with highest linear correlation with third canonic dependent variable is x7. There are many

studies in the literature on the efficiency of the banking sector. However, we have not encountered a

study that questioning the diversification of the liability side for the banking sector with this point of

view. In this respect, it is thought that the study will contribute to the literature

School bags are the essential requirement for the school going children. Which contain the

textbooks, books, stationary, sport kits, lunch boxes, water bottles etc. The heavy school bag may

have impact on the musculoskeletal system of children. To assess the prevalence of heavy school

bags and musculoskeletal problems among school going children 2) to find the correlation of

heavy school bags with problems of musculoskeletal system among school going children. Ethical

approval was obtained from Institute Ethics Committee, PGIMER, and Chandigarh. The study

design was descriptive Research design. Sample was drawn by Multistage sampling Technique

i.e. selection of schools (Purposive), all the classes of selected schools selection of one section in

each class by lottery method and 760 students from selected section were taken for study. The data

was collected in July –November 2018. Tools used were Interview schedule for students.

Observation check list was used for content of school bags, bag carrying style, size of school bag

and length of school bag strap. Weighing scale was used to assess the weight of school bags, its

content as well as weight of students. Screening of the students was done for heavy School bags

i.e. weight of bag >10% of weight of child. Students were interviewed as per interview schedule.

School bag content, carrying style, size of bag were observed by using observation check list. The

result of the study showed 69.7% students in government school and 80.2% in private school were

carrying heavy school bags. Further 52.9% students of government school and 65.3% students of

private school were having musculoskeletal problems. Musculoskeletal problems of students with

heavy bags were 3.295 times higher than their counterparts. Other factors leading to

musculoskeletal problems were carrying bag on one strap, Long strap, big size bag and faulty

posture. Children were carrying heavy bags and suffering from musculoskeletal problems.

Palliative care is an comprehensive care to increase the “quality of life” of people and their family

members who has to take care of the people suffering from life threatening condition. “Palliative

care” main aim is to provide the symptomatic relief and to increase life expectancy of people

having life threatening disease. In India, over last 20 years the prevalence of cancer and aging

population has increased. So, it is essential to know the ratio of population that require palliative

care services and the ratio of population receiving such services. To assess the proportion of

population receiving palliative care services. A descriptive research design was adopted for the

study. The study was carried out in Dhanas, Chandigarh. A total of 10,021 people residing in that

area were screened in the study out of which 19 were found to be in need of palliative care

services. Tools used for the study were, Screening proforma consisting of three questions, socio-

demographic sheet, clinical profile Barthel Index of activities of daily living and pain rating scale.

Analysis of the data was done by using SPSS.The results revealed that out of 10,021 surveyed

population of Dhanas, 19 subjects needed palliative care services. These 19 subjects were

suffering from terminal illnesses and the score of the Barthel index and other tools collectively

concluded that they required palliative care services. None of the subjects were receiving any

home based or institutional based palliative care services at the time of assessment. Majority of

the subjects were unable to perform “activities of daily living” by their own self. They were either

dependent partially or fully on their family members. The families of the subjects did not have

any idea about end of life care. People are unaware of these services due to lack of awareness on

the topic and unavailability of such facilities. Maximum population is unable to receive any

professional paliative care in terminal illness. This study tends to further advocate the need of

palliative care institutes in Chandigarh and spread more awareness among people regarding end

of life care. The study concluded that there is a need of palliative care services in the studied

community of Dhanas, Chandigarh. There is a Chandigarh Hospice centre in sector 43-A that is

the only institute in the UT that provides end of life care. This is not known to most of the

population. Need of such an institute is evident through the results of the study and more

awareness among people needs to be spread about palliative care services.

Screen media usage can be useful and has become a part and parcel of individual s’ lives, extremely

influencing studying and academic achievements. It can also be a diversion and become noxious

and damaging habit. Due to excess use of screened devices, students are not able to avail the proper

amount of sleep per night. The fashion of inadequate sleep is continuing among youth people

because of emergence of technological advancements and also becoming troublesome for them.

Electronic media has both pessimistic and optimistic for a being. On one hand, it helps students in

improving their academic performance; on the other hand, it leads to sleep impoverishment which

in turns leads to poor educational achievements.The main aim of study was to assess the impact of

Screen Time Use on Sleep Hygiene and Academic Performance among undergraduate Nursing

students of NINE, PGIMER, and Chandigarh. The research approach adopted was quantitative and

design was descriptive. The research was conducted in classrooms of NINE, PGIMER, and

Chandigarh. Total enumeration was found to be appropriate for this study. Data was collected

using self-structed questionnaire for Academic Performance and Screen Time Use and by using

standardized tool i.e. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for Sleep Hygiene. Socio demographic data

sheet for personal information and formative assessment records were also used as tools which

were self- constructed and validated. Ethical clearance from the concerned authorities was taken.

Pilot study was conducted on 54 subjects from B.Sc. (Post Basic) Nursing 1st year students to find

out the feasibility of the study. Total study sample of 314 was selected by total enumeration

sampling technique based on inclusion criteria. The students were provided with self- administered

questionnaire and informed that confidentiality will be maintained throughout the study.

The data was collected during the month of April w.e.f. 10th April, 2019 to 25th April, 2019. Data

collected was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics by using Microsoft Excel and

SPSS 22 version and results were compiled, interpreted and depicted in tables and figures. The

result study of the study revealed that B.Sc. Nursing 3rd year class had highest screen time use

(6.63±3.63) while B.Sc. Nursing 1st year class had the lowest screen time use (4.35±2.24). The

highest PSQI (Global Score) was found among the B.Sc. Nursing 4th year students (5.81±2.69)

with lowest academic performance (54.81±5.79). Students of B.Sc. Nursing 2nd year had lowest

PSQI (Global Score) i.e. 4.50±2.28 while the highest academic performance (62±8.07) was found

among B.Sc. Nursing 1st year students. The study concluded that Screen time use was positively

corelated with Sleep hygiene (PSQI global score) i.e. r= 0.166, p=0.003 based on Pearson’s

correlation coefficient; it means greater the screen time use, higher the PSQI global score (Poor

sleep hygiene). Screen time use was negatively corelated with academic performance (r= -0.143,

p= 0.011) it means more the screen time use, lesser the academic performance. Sleep hygiene

(PSQI Global score) was negatively corelated with academic performance (r= -0.112, p= 0.047)

indicated that more the PSQI Global score, lesser the academic performance.

The study suggests that various educational programs should be rendered so as to educate about

less use of electronics gazette, consult students about various good sleep practices and also impart

recreational activities so as to improve sleep hygiene among students. Sleep promotion camping

should be incorporated in nursing curriculum to teach students about the strategies to overcome

the barriers of sleep deprivation.
