Abstract

This paper advances video analytics with a focus on crowd analysis for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the advancement of video analytics and visible surveillance to improve the safety and security of pilgrims during their stay in Makkah. It is mainly because Hajj is an entirely special event that involve hundreds of thousands of people being clustered in a small area. This paper proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN) system for performing multitude analysis, in particular for crowd counting. In addition, it also proposes a new algorithm for applications in Hajj and Umrah. We create a new dataset based on the Hajj pilgrimage scenario in order to address this challenge. The proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art approach with a significant reduction of the mean absolute error (MAE) result: 240.0 (177.5 improvement) and the mean square error (MSE) result: 260.5 (280.1 improvement) when used with the latest dataset (HAJJ-Crowd dataset). We present density map and prediction of traditional approach in our novel HAJJ-crowd dataset for the purpose of evaluation with our proposed method.

Abstract

The rapid identification and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is essential for initiating early intervention and effective treatment planning. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides valuable structural insights into the pathological alterations in the brain associated with AD. Early and accurate detection of AD is critical for initiating timely interventions. This study presents a classical machine learning (ML) approach for detecting AD using structured features extracted from MRI metadata, such as mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores, brain volume metrics, and cognitive attributes. Unlike deep learning models that rely on raw imaging data, the interpretable framework offers reduced computational complexity and better alignment with real-world clinical constraints. Models such as random forest (RF) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) achieved up to 85% accuracy, showing strong potential for deployment in resource-limited environments. The results demonstrate the potential of classical ML in supporting early AD diagnosis, particularly in low-resource clinical settings. Moreover, the proposed approach offers a computationally efficient and interpretable alternative to deep learning models, facilitating adoption in real-world healthcare environments.

Abstract

Bangladesh’s economic development is largely dependent on the power sector, which promotes sustainability and growth. The country’s future energy security, however, is seriously threatened by the natural gas reserves running out by 2028. As a result, the current energy mix has to be modified right away to ensure Bangladesh’s sustained economic growth. This research paper offers a thorough analysis of Bangladesh’s power sector’s current state. With a focus on important metrics like installed capacity, electricity generation, and distribution infrastructure, the study seeks to provide insights into the sector’s opportunities, challenges, and strengths. The research highlighting the importance of energy security and forecasting the projected energy demand in Bangladesh. The study also looks at current projects and advancements that have shaped Bangladesh’s power industry. This research also provides an ideal energy option that supports Bangladesh's sustainable growth. This analysis offers significant insights into the dynamics of the power industry in Bangladesh, elucidating it is present trajectory, the challenges it encounters, and the potential avenues for achieving a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
