Breast cancer is still a big health issue around the world, and it needs to be found quickly and perfectly to improve patient outcomes and lower death rates. Although artificial intelligence (AI) has showed amazing promise in breast cancer prediction mainly machine learning (ML) algorithms as well as deep learning (DL), practical use of these models is greatly hampered by their lack of interpretability and transparency. By giving complicated AI models interpretability, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) becomes an essential tool to improve trust and transparency. XAI's efficacy in clinical environments is yet perfectly unidentified however, and its proper implementation into breast cancer diagnostics is hence ignored. Focussing on their interpretability, clinical application, and influence on decision-making, this paper systematically reviews machine learning, deep learning impact on breast cancer diagnosis and current XAI approaches used to breast cancer detection, prognosis, and treatment. This work presents a thorough assessment of XAI approaches classified by data kinds (imaging, genomic, and clinical), a comparative analysis of LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations), SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), and Grad-CAM, and highlights important issues and future directions of research. This work highlights the possibility of XAI to enhance clinical decision-making and patient confidence by closing the gap between great diagnosis accuracy and interpretability. The results support multidisciplinary cooperation among medical experts, scientists in artificial intelligence, and legislators to guarantee the responsible and ethical integration of artificial intelligence in society.

Longer-term projections indicate that today’s developing and rising nations will account for roughly 60% of the global GDP by 2030. There is tremendous financial growth and advancement in developing countries, resulting in a high demand for personal loans from citizens. Depending on their needs, many people seek personal loans from banks. However, it is difficult for banks to predict which consumers will pay their bills and which will not since the number of bank frauds in many countries, notably India, is growing. According to the Reserve Bank of India, the Indian banking industry uncovered INR 71,500 in the scam in the fiscal year 2018–2019. The average lag time between the date of the occurrence and its recognition by banks, according to the statistics, was 22 months. This is despite harsher warnings from both the RBI and the government, particularly in the aftermath of the Nirav Modi debacle. To overcome this issue, we demonstrated how to create a predictive loan model that identifies problematic candidates who are considerably more likely to pay the money back. In step-by-step methods, we illustrated how to handle raw data, remove unneeded portions, choose appropriate features, gather exploratory statistics, and finally how to construct a model. In this work, we created supervised learning models such as decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN). According to the classification report, the models with the highest accuracy score, f-score, precision, and recall are considered the best among all models. However, in this work, our primary aim was to reduce the false-positive parameter in the classification models’ confusion matrix to reduce the banks’ non-performing assets (NPA), which is helpful to the banking sector. The data were graphed to help bankers better understand the customer’s behavior. Thus, using the same method, client loyalty may also be anticipated.

With the emergence of delay- and energy-critical vehicular applications, forwarding sense-actuate data from vehicles to the cloud became practically infeasible. Therefore, a new computational model called Vehicular Fog Computing (VFC) was proposed. It offloads the computation workload from passenger devices (PDs) to transportation infrastructures such as roadside units (RSUs) and base stations (BSs), called static fog nodes. It can also exploit the underutilized computation resources of nearby vehicles that can act as vehicular fog nodes (VFNs) and provide delay- and energy-aware computing services. However, the capacity planning and dimensioning of VFC, which come under a class of facility location problems (FLPs), is a challenging issue. The complexity arises from the spatio-temporal dynamics of vehicular traffic, varying resource demand from PD applications, and the mobility of VFNs. This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization model to investigate the facility location in VFC networks. The solutions to this model generate optimal VFC topologies pertaining to an optimized trade-off (Pareto front) between the service delay and energy consumption. Thus, to solve this model, we propose a hybrid Evolutionary Multi-Objective (EMO) algorithm called Swarm Optimized Non-dominated sorting Genetic algorithm (SONG). It combines the convergence and search efficiency of two popular EMO algorithms: the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) and Speed-constrained Particle Swarm Optimization (SMPSO). First, we solve an example problem using the SONG algorithm to illustrate the delay–energy solution frontiers and plotted the corresponding layout topology. Subsequently, we evaluate the evolutionary performance of the SONG algorithm on real-world vehicular traces against three quality indicators: Hyper-Volume (HV), Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) and CPU delay gap. The empirical results show that SONG exhibits improved solution quality over the NSGA-II and SMPSO algorithms and hence can be utilized as a potential tool by the service providers for the planning and design of VFC networks.

The pharmaceutical company is key to having a strong healthcare system, and excellent healthcare is essential for every society and economy. However, there are significant concerns with medication safety and security as a result of fake and inferior medical items, which constitute a significant hazard and harm to consumers’ health. Globally, drug counterfeiting is a severe problem that endangers the public’s health as well as the health of consumers. The global business of manufacturing fake medications generates enormous annual revenue. To have a quality healthcare system, the pharmaceutical industry is of great importance and plays a vital role in medicine and pharmaceutical supplies. With emerging computer technologies like blockchain and IoT cutting across several industries and sectors and revolutionizing the world, a systematic literature review of various articles chosen from different databases was carried out in this study to analyze and evaluate application areas of this technology in the pharmaceutical industry and existing frameworks that have been proposed to solve problems faced in the pharmaceutical industry. The outcome of this review showed that the application of the blockchain and IoT hybrid framework can assist in reducing the drug counterfeit problem and provide solutions to most of the problems faced in the pharmaceutical industry. This study also proposed a framework that addressed the drawbacks of existing frameworks in the pharmaceutical industry.
