This doesn’t take into account EXIF, QR codes, and advancements in HTML 5 geo implementations, which are being built into these location-based services. This is often implemented and enabled without the user even knowing it. In fact, geolocation is one of the hottest technologies being used in everything from web browsers to mobile devices. As social networks throw our location coordinates around like candy, its only natural that bad things will happen and abuse will become more popular. This presentation will cover how social networks and other websites are currently using location-based services, what they plan on doing with it, and a discussion on the current privacy and security issues. We will also discuss the latest geolocation hacking techniques and will release custom code that can abuse all of the features being discussed.

Sherlock: Monitoring sensor broadcasted data to optimize mobile environmentijsrd.com
Rich-sensor Smartphones have made possible the recent birth of the mobile sensing research area as part of ubiquitous sensing which integrates other areas such as wireless sensor networks and web sensing. The object of sensing can be people-centered or environment-centered. The sensing domain can be home, urban, vehicular etc. Now there are barriers that limit the social acceptance of mobile sensing systems. Several technical barriers are phone energy savings and the variety of sensors and software for their management. In this article, we design and implement Sherlock technology, which captures a micro-environment through sensors and automatically records sensor hints and optimize the micro-environment of smartphones. We refer to such immediate surroundings as micro-environment, usually several to a dozen of centimeters, around a phone. The platform runs as a daemon process on a smartphone and provides finer-grained environment information to upper layer applications via programming interfaces. Sherlock is a unified framework covering the major cases of phone usage, placement, attitude, and interaction in practical uses with complicated user habits. The main objective is to save battery in mobile sensing systems and provides security.
Eye(I) Still Know! – An App for the Blind Built using Web and AIDr. Amarjeet Singh
This paper proposes eye(I) still know!, a voice control solution for the visually impaired people. The main purpose is even though the blind cannot see they can still know where to go and what to do! Nearby 60% of total blind population across the world is present in India. In a time where no one likes to rely on anyone, this is a small effort to make the blind independent individuals. This can be achieved using wireless communication, voice recognition and image scanning. The application with the use of object identification will priorly inform about the barriers in the path.
The software will use the camera of the device and scan all the obstacles with their corresponding distances from the user. This will be followed by audio instructions through audio output of the device.
This will efficiently direct the user through his/her way.
Daily Human Activity Recognition using Adaboost Classifiers on Wisdm Datasetijtsrd
Human activity recognition is an important area of machine learning research as it has much utilization in different areas such as sports training, security, entertainment, ambient assisted living, and health monitoring and management. Studying human activity recognition shows that researchers are interested mostly in the daily activities of the human. Nowadays mobile phone is well equipped with advanced processor, more memory, powerful battery and built in sensors. This provides an opportunity to open up new areas of data mining for activity recognition of human's daily living. In the paper, the benchmark dataset is considered for this work is acquired from the WISDM laboratory, which is available in public domain. We tested experiment using AdaBoost.M1 algorithm with Decision Stump, Hoeffding Tree, Random Tree, J48, Random Forest and REP Tree to classify six activities of daily life by using Weka tool. Then we also see the test output from weka experimenter for these six classifiers. We found the using Adaboost,M1 with Random Forest, J.48 and REP Tree improves overall accuracy. We showed that the difference in accuracy for Random Forest, REP Tree and J48 algorithms compared to Decision Stump, and Hoeffding Tree is statistically significant. We also show that the accuracy of these algorithms compared to Decision Stump, and Hoeffding Tree is high, so we can say that these two algorithms achieved a statistically significantly better result than the Decision Stump, and Hoeffding Tree and Random Tree baseline.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.

7. Smartphones are incredibly personal devices:
they are not often shared.
Research shows that owners regularly keep their
smartphone within arms length of them.

Users to their Smartphones. In ACM Ubicomp 2011.
22. Sensors were originally added to smartphones
for purely functional purposes.
E.g., an accelerometer lets the device know when
to display the screen in landscape mode; the GPS
allows the device to support maps/driving apps.
Only later did researchers uncover that all of
these sensors could be a valuable source of
behavioural data.

Behaviours are often too complex and/or
abstract to directly encode them into software.
Machine learning a statistical approach that
centres around using data to learn to identify and
predict behaviours. Often without knowing much
(or anything) about what those behaviours
actually look like.
33. Two broad categories of learning algorithms,
which are often referred to as unsupervised and
supervised learning.
34. Unsupervised learning, or clustering, assumes
you have:
(a) a large dataset of many representations of a
behaviour, and
(b) a way of measuring the extent that two
representations of behaviours are similar.
