Aging Populations

English Reports

The world is ageing slowly and as we look around us we see a population of 65 and above on the rise around us, especially in developing countries and it won’t be long before the developed countries too catch up on this feature. Ageing population is where the proportion of older people is high within the total population. As the number steadily increases, the world is expected to see a rise in people above the age group of 65 and more, accelerating the numbers old people in the society. As the world sees a rise in the ageing population the responsible to make them live in the society with dignity and security is also a challenge to all the countries.
The ageing population is expected to be more than children between 0 -14 years in the next five years. Women outlive men most of the times but this gender gap is expected to decrease in the developed countries and increase in developing countries. Ageing affects all types of societies; the rich and the poor in different ways. The global life expectancy have been on the rise because of improved hygiene, better communication, healthy diets, socioeconomic development, and advancement of science and technology. Though there are a lot of problems due to the ageing population in the society, it can also be looked at as a success in the history of mankind.

A lot of changes need to be incorporated into the existing society to make living comfortable for this ageing population. And there is a need to change a lot of social reforms in the society to fit in these older persons. They need to be kept in the labor markets for a longer period of time and the retirement age should be increased. Good healthcare will also prevent diseases connected with old age. Special attention needs to be given to their basic needs like housing, health, social services, and pension schemes which can make them lead healthy and comfortable lives.

Prediction of Bank Customer Telemarketing Success Using Data Mining Models

English Reports

Abstract
Telemarketing has become a popular marketing tool. In a financial crisis, credit may contract in domestic and international markets, forcing banks to turn to customer deposits, including term deposits, as a source of additional funds. In addition, loans are a main source of income for banks. Therefore, a bank manager’s key responsibility is to attract term deposits and generate loans. Here direct marketing enables banks to reach customers who are likely to make deposits and take loans, so identifying such customer groups is a major challenge for banks. Using the proposed model, a bank manager can better conduct direct marketing campaigns and achieve greater customer satisfaction. A machine learning model is built to predict the success rate of bank telemarketing in identifying valued customers. This work describes a data mining approach to extracting valuable information from a dataset from a recent Portuguese bank telemarketing campaign obtained from the UCI KDD Machine Learning Datasets. To validate prediction accuracy, the proposed model is compared with popular classification models including Naïve Bayes, SVM and Decision Tree. All experiments are implemented in WEKA. The experimental results provide useful insights for strengthening banks both financially and functionally.

Science is as old as mankind is, or perhaps older than it. But has it ever ceased to fascinate man? Science is just like red wine. It gets on getting better and better. For understanding the concept of science, you do not always need the ‘B Sc.’ tag attached to your name. A mind searching for endless answers serves the purpose. And yes, the more you question, the more you learn and the more you learn, the more you understand!

Is science meant only for students who score cent percent marks in their exams? Definitely not. There are no categories in which science can be split. Science is meant for every single soul, who learns the art of questioning. Einstein would have remained only a lowly “Albert” if he had failed to continue on his quest of questioning. Science is just not about what you answer, but is also about what you question.

Right from having the curiosity to understand why do monkeys have tail, how does a pressure cooker work, why do we yawn, what happens when we faint, why do we blink our eyes, science has its roots in every single statement with a question mark. The only thing that Science expects from humans is a mouth full of questions. Some questions might be silly, but they in turn become the foundation of a bright future.

There is no single being on this bizarre planet to whom science is not at disposal. A housewife cannot claim that she does not use science. In fact, when she wraps a raw papaya with a newspaper to ripen it, she is using science. When a vegetable-seller weighs his vegetables on a balance, isn’t he using science? When a baker introduces yeast to the dough for making bread, he is using science. Hence, science is involved in every minute activity and this is what that should foster the art of questioning.

A good friend of ours is the word “why”,

Come forward to ask questions and just don’t be shy.

The art of questioning is a good art to learn. It is a good learning process and great fun.

Take resort of a sweet little question mark. As to ignite a fire, you just need a spark.

We must remember that every question does not need a reason. If Sir Benjamin Franklin had wondered why he should invent something like electricity, we would still be under the spell of darkness. Questions form a very integral part of science and also of day-to-day life. There is absolutely no harm in questioning. Hence, question, question and question and make people of the 21st century proud.

Malaysia destroying its forests three times faster than all Asia combined

English Reports

Malaysia destroying its forests three times faster than all Asia combined

Detailed information ordered by the Wetlands International reports that Malaysia is pulling out of the ground the standard two percent of the rainforest in Sarawak which is the biggest land on the island of Borneo or almost ten percent more than five years ago. They also added that many have been transformed into palm oil plantations.

Five years ago, big unit of land area land of Malaysia consisting largely of peat which is about 872,263 acres were cleared, or one-third of the swamps which have kept carbon from fragment plants for a very long time.

image001

According to scientists, the devastation of the Amazon and the ruining of Central Africa’s and Southeast Asia’s rainforest are responsible for over fifteen percent of carbon emissions that result to global warming.

Keeping the forest alive allows the immersion carbon from the atmosphere while deforestation frees the stored carbon which results to climate change. However, releasing effect is increased when trees are cut down from the peatlands while the swamps are left empty for business plantations.

Asian countries that manufactured almost ninety percent of the global’s palm oil are Malaysia and Indonesia. This palm oil is used in cooking oil, cosmetics, soaps, bread, and chocolate.

Palm oil is also used as a factory oil and believed as a perfect biofuel as a replacement to fossil fuel. However, it was not approved since it was reported to destroy the rainforest because of widening of plantations.

Indonesia committed a solemn promise to give a brake in deforestation in their land. Norway also pledged to Jakarta to contribute one billion dollars every year as their financial support in order to observe and measure the quantity of greenhouse gas production.

Significance of Wetland Environment

English Reports, 环境

With the change in environmental conditions and increased hazards to the environment caused by mostly human activities, a new technique of wetland environment is emerging fast keeping in view its significance. It’s one of the best ways for controlling floods and the technique is so effective that it is now popularly known as ‘the world’s natural sponges’.

Some other benefits of wet land environment include easy water purification and help in hydroelectric dams. It also helps in ‘Living Output’. It is called so as it helps in harvesting of many plants and animals, minerals and provides habitats to a lot of wild life. Not only this, it also gives a big helping hand to fisheries and gives home to various endangered species.

The gravest problem of the world that is depletion of the ground water source can also be solved to a large extent by this as it is a wonderful way to recharge ground water.

Some of the most important types of wetlands are marshes, swamps, bogs, rivers and streams and lakes and ponds. Marshes have mainly soft stemmed herbaceous plants which mainly consist of breeds of cattails and pickerelweed. Most marshes develop their form gradually from shallow lakes and depressions. Swamps are mostly covered with woody plants consisting trees and shrubs.

Bogs are mostly found in glaciated areas of the North Central, North East states, and Canada. It mainly consists of peat lands which don’t have the cover of mineral soils as the top layer. It gets its form by the gradual decomposition of plant materials. It helps us in getting records in the forms of fossil pollens.

Rivers and Streams-flowing water and currents are found in Southeast Rivers enriched with energy-rich organic sediments. It provides a lot of support to aquatic organisms.

Lakes and Ponds known as standing water wetlands vary in size prove to be a boon for fish and aquatic plants and also serve as a good habitat for animals.

With the growing problem of lack of drinking water resources and habitat for animals, a wetland environment can be of immense help if utilized properly.

Malaria eradication threat from cutsunder, drug resistance

English Reports

The financial support for Malaria sponsored by international and domestic institutions in prevention of malaria will decrease since the economy is experiencing a financial difficulty. This information was reported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Even though the financial support for health development has reached a higher perecentage of 262 over the past decade, the ADB health specialist SaumyaKailasapathysaid that the domestic financial support for malaria has only small contribution from about 436 million dollars in 2005 up to about 530 million dollars in 2012. He also added that the world health financial support has a problem when it comes to economic stability. Thus, there is no assurance to support the public as well as private groups.

image008

She also said that the development in financial health support is very low and may cause slow improvements because of overpopulation widespread of diseases. For this reason, the patient who could have benefited the help will experience an eagerness and determination for competition and there will be a change in donor support.

According to the public health specialist, Susann Roth, the financial support which was very high in the past has already been controlled of donor. This will demand to decrease and countries will have to give financial support for malaria programs from domestic sources. She also added to give extra effort to increase the funds for malaria and to achieve the goal as to where and who to get it.

But this idea needs to be taken seriously with action plan because malaria is widespread in remote areas which affect the flexible population of the country with people who keep on moving from forest, provinces and cities.

It is also not easy to get the attention of policy makers because malaria is invisible as other dieases. As an example, dengue is common to harm anyone especially in urban areas, may it be politicians or children but will not get malaria in the cities.

Health Care in Vietnam

English Reports

Health Care in Vietnam

The health care system of the government of Vietnam today only finances 0.9% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Thirty percent of the country’s population only benefit from it. Therefore, Vietnamese people need to finance themselves for medication in a private health care institution.

The goal is to give every resident a health care system even though some of them still choose to buy additional private health care insurance. The idea is being patterned from their neighboring country, Thailand, and this action plan should decrease the shortage of health care for both rural and urban areas.

The standard and availability of health care assistance differ dramatically in terms of location between rural and urban areas.

image009

Vietnam has a lesser availability in the health care system compare to neighboring countries. Unfortunately, the health care systems in Vietnam are the poorest in quality among the countries in Asia because of the insufficient financial support of the government in the health department.

Most of the hospitals and clinics in Vietnam are found in big cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hai Phong. Health care system in urban and rural areas is very different. It is also difficult to look for medical specialist or medical assistance in rural areas, as public health is not the same in quality compare in urban areas. With some implementation and effective improvements, the country of Vietnam will earn high quality more importantly in rural areas where financial support is very necessary.

New Japanese Surveillance can tell when people are drunk
In Japan, they have a new security camera system and the by the help of Japanese railroad program, it is capable to recognize possible commuter who are in the influence or affected by alcohol just by viewing them.

Not similar to a device used by police for measuring the amount of alcohol in a driver’s breathe, Japan’s new security camera system uses human action to try to anticipate who may have spoil the period of the day when drinks are sold at reduced prices in a bar or restaurant. Behind finding manifestations like moving unsteadily, the security cameras also search for people who are on the program who drunkenly choose to take a rest on a bench.
In Osaka, drunk people getting hit by trains is a critical problem. According to The Wall Street Journal, there were two hundred twenty one cases of passengers on the declared policy being stuck by trains. Around sixty percent of those accidents had been cause by drinking too much alcohol before the accidents.
The company West Japanese Railway which is behind the security system emphasizes that the cameras are only used to advocate safety and won’t be used to find people or it doesn’t mean to be similar to red light camera. If the new security camera system is proven successful, they plan to develop it to other stations in Japan.
