A Data Mining Perspective on the Prevalence of Polio in India
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polio, although has been eradicated from many parts of the world still continues to be prevalent in countries like India, Nigeria and Pakistan. This is a source of concern because a single human carrier in any part of the world is a threat and might lead to resurgence in polio all over the world. There are several reasons for this e.g. lack of information, misinformation, lack of delivery of health services, social stigma attached to it by various communities etc. The purpose of the current work is to analyze the data for the state of Uttar Pradesh and study the age, place, gender, number of doses of polio vaccine administered and various other attributes in the prevalent polio cases .Also to study the data and observe the months when the maximum number of new cases are occurring (season wise variation in incidence of Polio).

A Geometric View of Similarity Measures in Data Mining
The main objective of data mining is to acquire information from a set of data for prospect applications using a measure. The concerning issue is that one often has to deal with large scale data. Several dimensionality reduction techniques like various feature extraction methods have been developed to resolve the issue. However, the geometric view of the applied measure, as an additional consid...
متن کاملThirty year trend (1967-1996) in prevalence of poliomyelitis and vaccine coverage in Ballabgarh, Haryana, India.
India is committed to eradication of poliomyelitis by the year 2000. However, India still reported about 58% of all polio cases documented globally in 1995. India has adopted the World Health Organisation’s recommended strategy of National Immunization Days (that is, Pulse Polio Immunization) from the year 1995. Oral polio vaccine (OPV) was introduced at national level in 1985. However, no comm...
متن کاملComparing Symptoms of Post-Polio Syndrome in Athlete and Non-Athlete Poliomyelitis Survivors
Purpose: Long term effects of poliomyelitis are known in many countries. Despite no definite label for these signs and symptoms, there is a remarkable similarity among patients with regard to description of the problems and complications of the disease. In this study, we compared the prevalence of symptoms of Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS) in athlete and non-athlete poliomyelitis survivors. Methods...
متن کاملAncient Gold Mining Activities in India - An Overview
Gold was obtained through washing or panning of the river sands during initial periods of civilisation. With the advent of knowledge of metallurgical processing of ores it was recovered through mining of in-situ quartz reefs, and then from auriferous sulphide ores. The metal mining activities are evidenced in the form of large number of ‘ancient metal mines’ or ‘old workings’ and ‘placer mining...
متن کاملEstimation of Punching Shear Capacity of Concrete Slabs Using Data Mining Techniques
Punching shear capacity is a key factor for governing the collapsed form of slabs. This fragile failure that occurs at the slab-column connection is called punching shear failure and has been of concern for the engineers. The most common practice in evaluating the punching strength of the concrete slabs is to use the empirical expressions available in different building design codes. The estima...
