In recent decades, deep-learning dependent fruit disease detection and classification techniques have evinced outstanding results in technologically advanced horticulture investigation. Due to the comparatively limited image processing capabilities of edge computing devices, implementing deep learning methods in actual field scenarios is currently difficult. The use of intelligent machines in contemporary horticulture is being hampered by these restrictions, which are emerging as a new barrier. In this research, we present an efficient model for citrus fruit disease prediction. The proposed model utilizes the fusion of deep learning models CNN and LSTM with edge computing. The proposed model employs an enhanced feature-extraction mechanism, with a down-sampling approach, and then a feature-fusion subsystem to ensure significant recognition on edge computing devices with retaining citrus fruit disease detection accuracy. This research utilizes the online Kaggle and plan village dataset which contains 2950 citrus fruit images with disease categories black spots, cankers, scabs, Melanosis, and greening. The proposed model and existing model are tested with two features with pruning and without pruning and compared based on various performance measuring parameters, i.e., precision, recall, f-measure, and support. In the first phase experimental analysis is performed using Magnitude Based Pruning and in the second phase Magnitude Based Pruning with Post Quantization. The proposed CNN-LSTM model achieves an accuracy rate of 97.18% with Magnitude-Based Pruning and 98.25% with Magnitude-Based Pruning with Post Quantization, which is better as compared to the existing CNN method.

Bone cancer is treated as a severe health problem, and, in many cases, it causes patient death. Early detection of bone cancer is efficient in reducing the spread of malignant cells and decreasing mortality. Since the manual detection process is a laborious task, it is needed to design an automated system to classify and identify the cancerous bone and the healthy bone. Therefore, this article develops an Owl Search Algorithm with a Deep Learning-Driven Bone Cancer Detection and Classification (OSADL-BCDC) technique. The OSADL-BCDC algorithm follows the principle of transfer learning with a hyperparameter tuning strategy for bone cancer detection. The OSADL-BCDC model employs Inception v3 as a pretrained model for the feature extraction process which does not necessitate a manual segmentation of X-ray images. Besides, the OSA is applied as a hyperparameter optimizer for enhancing the efficacy of the Inception v3 method. Finally, the long short-term memory (LSTM) approach is used for identifying the presence of bone cancer. The proposed OSADL-BCDC technique reduces diagnosis time and achieves faster convergence. The experimental analysis of the OSADL-BCDC algorithm is tested using a set of medical images and the outcomes were measured under different aspects. The comparison study highlighted the improved performance of the OSADL-BCDC model over existing algorithms.

Social media is increasingly used to share thoughts and feelings. By mining the social media posts, a picture of users’ behavior may be obtained, to predict mental illnesses, like depression. Depression is seen as a taboo in the Arab world and cannot be discussed publicly out of fear of criticism. This led many to express their feelings over social media as an escape. Research has been conducted on the ability to use machine learning to make an early-stage diagnosis of depression. However, there is not enough research on this in the Arab world. This research was conducted on Arab women’s tweets during the COVID-19 pandemic to predict whether they have depression symptoms using machine learning. The proposed contribution is to create a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) model to predict depression from tweets. The model is evaluated using 10000 tweets extracted from 200 users and the obtained results shows its effectiveness.

Obesity is one of the world’s most serious health issues. Therefore, therapists have looked for methods to fight obesity. Currently, technology-based intervention options in medical settings are very common. One such technology is virtual reality (VR) which has been used in the treatment of obesity since the late 1990s. The main objective of this study is to review the literature on the use of VR in the treatment of obesity and overweight to better understand the role of VR-based interventions in this field. To this end, four databases (PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched for related publications from 2000 to 2022 using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). From the 645 articles identified, 24 were selected. The main strength of this study is that it is the first systematic review to focus completely on the use of VR in the treatment of obesity. It includes most research in which VR was utilized to carry out the intervention. Although several limitations were detected in the reviewed studies, the findings of this review suggest that employing VR for self-monitoring of diet, physical activity, and/or weight is effective in supporting weight loss as well as improving satisfaction of body image and promoting health self-efficacy in overweight or obese persons.

Lung and colon cancers are deadly diseases that can develop concurrently in organs and undesirably affect human life in some special cases. The detection of these cancers from histopathological images poses a complex challenge in medical diagnostics. Advanced image processing techniques, including deep learning algorithms, offer a solution by analyzing intricate patterns and structures in histopathological slides. The integration of artificial intelligence in histopathological analysis not only improves the proficiency of cancer detection but also holds the potential to increase prognostic assessments, eventually contributing to effective treatment strategies for patients with lung and colon cancers. This manuscript presents an Improved Water Strider Algorithm with Convolutional Autoencoder for Lung and Colon Cancer Detection (IWSACAE-LCCD) on HIs. The major aim of the IWSACAE-LCCD technique aims to detect lung and colon cancer. For noise removal process, median filtering (MF) approach can be used. Besides, deep convolutional neural network based MobileNetv2 model can be applied as a feature extractor with IWSA based hyperparameter optimizer. Finally, convolutional autoencoder (CAE) model can be applied to detect the presence of lung and colon cancer. To enhance the detection results of the IWSACAE-LCCD technique, a series of simulations were performed. The obtained results highlighted that the IWSACAE-LCCD technique outperforms other approaches in terms of different measures.
