CREDIT CARD FRAUD DETECTION USING MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS

K.Kowsalya, Mrs.Vasumathi, Dr.S.Selvakani — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Credit card frauds represent facile and amiable targets, particularly as the proliferation of e-commerce and various online platforms has led to a commensurate expansion in online payment modalities, thereby augmenting the susceptibility to online fraudulent activities. In response to the escalating rates of fraudulent incidents, researchers have undertaken the utilization of diverse machine learning methodologies to ascertain and scrutinize frauds within the realm of online transactions.

The primary objective of this scholarly endeavor is to formulate and advance an innovative fraud detection modus operandi tailored for Streaming Transaction Data. The overarching goal is to meticulously scrutinize the historical transaction particulars of patrons and distill discernible behavioral patterns. This involves the clustering of cardholders into disparate cohorts predicated upon their transactional magnitudes. Subsequently, a sliding window strategy is employed to amalgamate transactions conducted by cardholders across distinct groups, facilitating the extraction of their respective behavioral patterns.

Consecutively, diverse classifiers trained on these distinct groups, and the classifier exhibiting superior rating scores is earmarked as one of the preeminent methods for prognosticating fraudulent activities. This is succeeded by the implementation of a feedback mechanism aimed at mitigating the challenges posed by the phenomenon of concept drift. The empirical investigation detailed in this paper is grounded in the analysis of a European credit card fraud dataset.

It is imperative for credit card companies to adeptly discern instances of fraudulent credit card transactions to preclude customers from incurring charges for items they did not legitimately acquire. The resolution to such quandaries lies in the realm of Data Science, a discipline whose significance, when coupled with Machine Learning, is of paramount importance. This undertaking endeavors to elucidate the construction of a model utilizing machine learning techniques for Credit Card Fraud Detection.

The Credit Card Fraud Detection Problem entails the modeling of historical credit card transactions, incorporating data from those that transpired as fraudulent. Subsequently, this model is employed to ascertain the veracity of new transactions, distinguishing between fraudulent and non-fraudulent activities. The primary aim is the meticulous detection of 100% of fraudulent transactions, while concurrently minimizing instances of erroneous classifications of non-fraudulent transactions. Credit Card Fraud Detection serves as a quintessential exemplar of classification challenges.

In the course of this endeavor, significant emphasis has been placed on the analysis and pre-processing of datasets. Furthermore, a diverse array of anomaly detection algorithms, including the Local Outlier Factor and Isolation Forest algorithm, have been deployed on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) transformed Credit Card Transaction data.

PANORAMIC REVIEW OF DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction: fractures affecting the distal radius are common, their incidence increases as life expectancy increases, leading to a larger population of individuals at risk of suffering these injuries. They are usually comminuted and intra-articular fractures that are outside the traditional eponymous classification.

Objective: to detail current information related to distal radius fractures epidemiology, anatomy, mechanism of injury, clinical evaluation, classification, imaging evaluation, treatment and complications.

Methodology: a total of 27 articles were analyzed in this review, including review and original articles, as well as clinical cases and books, of which 19 bibliographies were used because the other articles were not relevant to this study. The sources of information were PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane; the terms used to search for information in Spanish, Portuguese and English were: distal radius fractures, radius anatomy, Colles fracture, Smith fracture, Barton fracture, treatment of distal radius fractures.

Results: distal radius fractures account for about one sixth of all fractures treated in the emergency department, the incidence of distal radius fractures in the elderly correlates with the degree of osteopenia and increases with increasing age. The volar ligaments are stronger and provide greater stability to the radiocarpal joint compared to the dorsal ligaments. The most common mechanism is a fall on the hand in extension with the wrist in dorsiflexion. Currently, there is no consensus on the most optimal classification system for distal radius fractures.

Conclusions: knowing correctly the whole picture of distal radius fractures allows to have a better performance when treating them. It is essential not to overlook in the physical examination the exploration of the ipsilateral elbow and shoulder to rule out the presence of associated injuries and to perform a complete evaluation to detect other possible injuries or life-threatening problems. Distal radius fractures can be treated conservatively or surgically depending on several factors, so classification is essential. There are multiple alternatives in surgical treatment, so the most appropriate one should be chosen for each case. The most common complications in this type of fracture are median nerve dysfunction, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, malunion or pseudoarthrosis and stiffness of the fingers, wrist and elbow.

Kirck Michael Britos De Leon, Celso P. Resueño, Jr. — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Discrimination against LGBTQIA+ is gaining attention these days and is growing more prevalent. One method used in this act is through language where people use words against them. However, social prejudice has not received enough attention, and few to no studies focus on using language paradigm to analyze this aspect in public school context. Therefore, this small scale-research aimed to assess the social prejudice of LGBTQIA+ members through language paradigm. The participants of this research were 10 LGBTQIA+ members from Cabiao and San Antonio who experience social prejudice and insults.

The thematic analysis revealed that language is used as a tool to derogate, stereotype, exclude LGBTQIA+ members socially and make them feel insulted and underestimated. Social prejudice also affects their focus and performance in doing school activities, makes them withdraw from school and lose their self-esteem. The study also found out that the participants tend to isolate themselves from society. Social prejudice instills self-doubt, fear, and depression in the participants. The coping mechanisms of the participants are never minding bullies, proving themselves that they excel, motivating themselves, and isolating themselves.

The researcher recommended that the LGUs should focus also about the LGBTQIA+ community, provide programs that protect them from social prejudice that is becoming rampant in the society.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COSTS AND RETURNS ACROSS FARM SIZES FOR SUGARCANE PRODUCTION IN MANDYA DISTRICT, KARNATAKA

Manju.K, Dr.M.V Dinesha — Sun, 17 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The study examines the cost and returns of sugarcane cultivation across various farm sizes. The study indicates that the total cost of cultivation tends to vary across different farm sizes, with marginal farms incurring the lowest cost and large farms incurring the highest. It also highlights cost variations between main and ratoon crops, emphasizing labor, material, and power costs. Larger farms incur higher production costs but yield greater net returns, with ratoon crops generally more profitable. ANOVA analysis underscores significant differences in costs and returns among farmer categories. Despite the main crop's higher productivity, lower returns compared to ratoon crops contribute to the latter's continuity. The paper concludes that the profitability of the ratoon crop serves as a key incentive for continuing sugarcane cultivation despite the higher costs associated with the main crop.
