Abstract

In present scenario tumor is a dangerous disease in the human life. In this study, the number of steps of medical image processing are used to process a Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) to detect the brain tumor and also to define its type. Out of many steps, feature extraction and feature reduction is core of medical image processing. Different types of features like intensity, shapes and texture based features, are extracted from the segmented MRI images. Then, a machine learning model is developed by using the optimally selected features. Feature reduction approach is used to select the small subset of features which minimize redundancy and maximize relevance to the target. A bio-inspired Evolutionary computation (EC) based Firefly Algorithm (FA) has been used to reduce the size of feature set so that only key features will be used to classify tumor type using Support Vector Machine (SVM). At the end, classification accuracy has been compared results obtained with and without optimization.

Abstract

Employment plays crucial role for everyone’s life, in present investigation we try to understand attitude of co-workers about the employment of intellectually disabled individual working in open environment. For this sample of 30 coworkers working at different work places with intellectually disabled employee were undertaken through purposive sampling technique. Results shows: t-test value reveals that there is no significant difference between male and female coworkers in respect to attitude towards intellectual disable employee. The findings of the study are: intellectually Disabled employee are honest, sincere, sociable, regular, punctual about job and need special attention and training. Coworker recommended towards intellectually disabled employee that they can do their job best with support and supervision of experts.
