Objective: To provide automatically analyzing and detecting human activities to provide better support in healthcare sector, security purpose etc. Method: We have used UT Kinect-Action 3D dataset containing position of 20 body joint captured by Kinect sensor. We selected two set of joints J1 and J2; after that we have formed some rules for activity classification then we have applied SVM classifier, KNN classifier using Euclidean distance and KNN classifier using minkowski distance for activity classification. Findings: When we have used joint set J1 we got 97.8% accuracy with SVM classifier, 98.8% accuracy with KNN classifier using Euclidean distance, and 98.9% accuracy with KNN classifier using minkowski distance and for joint set J2 we got 97.7% accuracy with SVM classifier, 98.6% accuracy with KNN classifier using Euclidean distance, and 98.7% accuracy with KNN classifier using minkowski distance. Application/Improvement: we have classified four activities hand waving, standing, sitting and picking. In future more activities can also be included in this study. IOT along with this activity recognition method can be used to reduce overheads.Keywords

Background/Objectives: This paper proposes a recommender system for life insurance. Insurance is a way of managing risks and has been used as financial instrument for a long time. The remarkable increase in competition within the insurance sector of the India has resulted in an overwhelming number of insurance products being available in the market. Methods: Utility theory is applied to recommend most suitable policy to users. Grey Relation Analysis (GRA) is utilized in intuitionistic fuzzy environment to determine users’ preference over alternatives. Results/Findings: The proposed recommender system has been tested with approximately 600 potential customers of different region of Chhattisgarh (INDIA). The accuracy of the recommender system is 92.6%. Also, our recommendation system has been tested with different parameters by domain experts of different levels (Branch Manager, Insurance Advisor, Development officers). They also found the results significantly accurate. Improvement: Most existing recommender system are based on collaborative filtering technique or content based system, which mainly focuses on finding relations between products and between customers through machine learning techniques. They recommend products without concerning the users’ personalized requirement. Our recommender system takes users’ current need in account and recommends most suitable policy to them. Application: The proposed recommendation technique has worked efficiently with the life insurance products and it can also be successfully applied on the products with specific preference like medical insurance, personal vehicles, and electronic home appliances.Keywords

In India, school absenteeism has been the focus of study in the primary and upper primary level, as the nation's main policy has been to increase enrolments in schools. The senior secondary classes (i.e., class XI & XII) have never been in the focus when it to comes being absent from school without any rational cause. This research gap lays the foundation for the present study with the focus on the mental health and youth problems of senior secondary students who are frequently absent from school. A mental health and youth problem analysis of 200 students was done from Srinagar Garhwal, Uttarakhand using Mental Health Battery (Singh & Gupta, 2005) and Youth Problem Inventory (Verma, 1996). Intelligence came out as the strongest predictor of absenteeism followed by emotional stability, family problems, school problems, self-concept and autonomy.Keywords

Chronic pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain as something that perseveres beyond normal tissue healing time, which is anticipated to be three months for the pain to be chronic in nature. The chronic non-cancer pain is under study. Objectives: The cardinal objective of the contemporary study is to explore the etfect of relaxation training (JPMR) on the psychopathological problems namely Anxiety and Depression. Materials and Methods: A pre-post study was performed on the patients with Chronic non-malignant pain. These were namely: Fibromyalgia, Chronic headache, and Somatic symptom disorder. The study consisted of a sample of 30 adult patients selected by a proper inclusion and exclusion criteria. So first the pre-test was done, after the intervention phase of four weeks, a reassessment was done on these patients. The tool used was Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale by Zigmond and Snaith. Results: The results showed the etfect of relaxation training upon the patients to reduce psychopathological functions, showcasing the etficacy of these techniques. Amongst the averages, the lowest was found to be in Chronic headache patients. The lower scores show a decline in anxiety and depression. Hence, there was a depletion in the psychopathological problems, when patients were given relaxation training. Conclusions: the research has strong implications towards focusing on the impact of relaxation training over the anxiety and depression under chronic pain patients. It shows how the pain management program with the psychological intervention with relaxation training can help in depleting the anxiety and depression sutfered by chronic non-cancer pain patients.Keywords
