Study of knowledge of mothers on immunization of children and its associated factors in Chennai, India
Immunization is one of the most effective and cost-effective ways to protect children’s lives and futures. Knowledge of mothers on immunization plays a major role in the immunization of the children. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge of mothers on immunization of the children. This was a cross-sectional study, conducted among 120 mothers who were selected using the purposive sampling technique, in 2020 in Chennai, India. Mothers having children below the age of 5 years were included in the study. Data were collected by interviews at their homes using a pretested, predetermined, and structured questionnaire. Data is entered in Excel and analyzed in SPSS 20 using appropriate descriptive ( f, %, Mean, and SD) and inferential statistics ( t-test, ANOVA, and chi-square test). The mean knowledge score on immunization was 10.75/20. The majority of the mothers had moderately adequate knowledge (63.3%), followed by inadequate knowledge (30%), and only 6.7% of them had adequate knowledge. Regarding immunization coverage, the majority of the children were fully immunized in time (74.2%), followed by delayed immunization (15.8%) and only 10% were non-immunized. Mothers’ knowledge on immunization status was significantly associated with residence ( Living area, t= 2.13, p=0.035) and educational status of the mothers ( F= 0.0979, p= 0.379). Collected data is entered in Excel and analyzed in SPSS 20 using appropriate descriptive ( f, %, Mean, and SD) and inferential statistics ( t-test, ANOVA, and chi-square test). Educating mothers about immunization focusing on its benefits and cost-effectiveness using various strategies should be planned to increase the mothers’ knowledge on immunization and immunization coverage.

The smart voting system through facial authentication
Decisions are critical depicting qualities of any predominant part that chooses a system that is being coordinated by individuals passing on their decisions or sensible choices through projecting a surveying structure. As of now, the larger part rule instrument has made from a wide edge of direct actually made majority rule designs to online vote-based frameworks. This undertaking expects to assemble a sharp evenhanded design utilizing face certification progression that permits any inhabitant in INDIA by going to their individual body electorate from "Any place in the country(India)" to the closest stoppage in the spot of stay. This undertaking is utilized to keep up High-level biometric security. The balloter subtleties are dealt with in an instructive file with face recognition. Going before beginning the larger part rule cycle the individual ought to login with two checks. The Tkinter application programming keeps up GUI for the entire undertaking. In the "savvy lion's share rule framework" when an individual makes his choice, the Tkinter gives the accreditation message that the vote is effectively chosen and if an individual's age is under 18 years old in the event that he tries to project a democratic structure, in the long run, utilizing his face test, the Tkinter page will show that he can't project a surveying structure. The political race commission can log in and check the inhabitant outline of the Election. These are completely written in python.

Fundamental of Physics
Science is nothing but to study natural laws. The technology is to implement natural laws in Mfg. machines, equipment, and instruments. No one is capable to change or challenge natural laws. Natural laws are not obeying our scientific equation, theory, mathematics, or constants all have some limitations and also always not true. We depend only on electromagnetic waves /forces but in-universe there may be other types of waves/forces in existence that we are not able to detect because those are beyond our limitations

A Study to compare the effect of Fenugreek vs Cinnamon on Blood Sugar among Type-II diabetic patients
The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Fenugreek Vs Cinnamon on Blood Sugar among Diabetes patients at Sree Mookambika Medical College Hospital, Kulasekharam, Kanyakumari District. A Quantitative Evaluative approach was adopted to compare the effectiveness of Fenugreek verses, Cinnamon, on Blood Sugar levels among type-II Diabetes patients. The study design adopted was an Experimental design, Factorial in nature. The samples were selected Purposively and Randomly assigned. The effectiveness of the two interventions was compared. The sample size was estimated by power analysis prior to the commencement of the study was N=4pq/d2. The Mean of Mean difference of FBS in the Fenugreek group, -10.42 (SD 10.093) was greater than the Mean of Mean difference of FBS in the Cinnamon group -5.88 (SD 9.639) and t =-2.516 (<0.05) was highly significant. The investigator concluded that Both Fenugreek and Cinnamon were effective in reducing Blood sugar (FBS, PPBS, HBA1C) among Type-II Diabetes Mellitus patients.

Comparative analysis of segmentation techniques for foot thermogram
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the Indian population is approximately 8.9% which is 77 million people. One of the most recognized issues in diabetic Mellitus patients is foot ulceration which is indicated by an abnormal rise in the temperature of the foot plantar. According to the International diabetic federation, every 15 people out of 100 get affected and there is a 6 percent of chance getting foot ulcers. Early identification and treatment of ulcers of the plantar skin will be beneficial to reduce the treatment cost and avoids amputation. Thermal imaging methods are one of the best, easiest and repeatable techniques to monitor the progress of foot ulcerations. Image processing enables doctors to make quick decisions in diagnosing the severity of the infection. In this paper, a sample foot thermogram is utilized for applying segmentation techniques such as region growing, clustering, and active contour for the extraction of the region of interest. The segmented results are compared for the performance using the Jaccard index, Similarity index Dice coefficient, and Volume similarity. The results show that the Snakes algorithm as a segmentation technique gave 85 % accuracy in extracting the RoI successfully.

Secured and robust E-voting system using blockchain technology
Voting is the process of representation of democracy in a country. Voting systems have been around for hundreds of years and but they were evolving very slowly. Many solutions were proposed in history, but most of them were rejected because of some security issues and limitations. Finally, in the 21st century, e-voting systems started to bloom with the development of web technologies With the development of blockchain 2.0, the researchers started to go towards a new destination by applying blockchain to software engineering applications. E-voting systems were developed based on Ethereum as well as Z-cash and bitcoin. But they were not full e-voting frameworks. Due to the limitations of the proposed solution, those were unable to exist in the modern world. To maintain user privacy, zk-SNARK which is a concept used in Z-cash for maintaining private transactions can be used. To write Immutable codes, a concept called smart contract can be used. Thus by using ethereum and z-cash blockchain technologies we can implement a full e- voting framework with voter registration, voter verification, voting, tallying, and end to end verification.
