Aqua Kit: A Kit for Efficient Freshwater Fish Farming – A Comprehensive Sensor-Based Approach | Chapter 13 | Leading the Charge: A Guide to Management, Entrepreneurship and Technology in the Dynamic Business Landscape Edition 1

Fish farming and aquaculture have been practiced for hundreds of years, and Asia’s country has shared approximately 55% of global production.  In recent years, the authorization body has noticed a significant drop in fish farming in fresh water, like ponds, and lakes, and also several unclarities among people on how to take care of fish in artificial aquatic resources. The main causes of that include inadequate optimization a poor understanding of and culture surrounding fisheries a weak approach to fishing a shortage of personnel and a dearth of reliable databases pertaining to aquatic and fisheries resources, weak approach to fisheries, inadequate manpower, water pollution, poor optimization, and not adequate good fisheries knowledge and culture. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has revolutionized the realm of freshwater fish farming by providing a sophisticated and real-time monitoring system. This paper proposes an innovative approach to enhancing the aquaculture industry through the utilization of various sensors and IoT devices. By continuously monitoring water quality parameters and the well-being of aquatic life, this approach aims to optimize the farming process, mitigate risks, and ensure a sustainable environment for freshwater fish. The proposed solution may cover all of the above aspects to build a healthy fisheries culture and easily connect aqua research and development to continue monitoring to the ground level, it will also help to maintain a proper database to build better aquaculture, maintain the sustainability of nature and aquaculture. The system will be a smart machine learning (deep learning) and Internet of Things (IoT) based system that can detect oxygen, temperature, Ph level, ammonia, water overflow, fish disease, and many more and store the data as (big data) also manage to have user-friendly communication with as well as higher authorities.

Various Approaches and Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Preventing and Detecting Diseases | Chapter 7 | Pharmaceutical Research - Recent Advances and Trends Vol. 1

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied in the advancement of disease prevention and early detection in recent times. The basic concept of artificial intelligence is imitating human intellect in the sense that it can execute tasks, detect patterns, or forecast events via learning from data gathered from diverse sources. It can analyze a lot of medical information, like images and records, to find patterns and identify risks for different diseases. This helps doctors diagnose and treat illnesses sooner, improving morbidity and mortality. Additionally, AI can analyze data from diverse sources like social media and travel patterns to predict and track disease outbreaks, helping public health officials take preventative measures and mitigate the spread of infections. The article explores various approaches and applications of artificial intelligence in preventing and detecting diseases across different medical domains.

Nutritional and Health Benefits of Carrots and Its Seed Extracts: A Review | Chapter 7 | Emerging Trends in Disease and Health Research Vol.4.

 Carrots are a root vegetable that are high in bioactive components such carotenoids, flavonoids, polyacetylenes, vitamins, and minerals, all of which have a variety of nutritional and health benefits. The number and kind of bioactive chemicals contained in carrots is influenced by the genotype colours of carrot root flesh, ambient circumstances, and storage conditions. Carotenoids, polyphenols, and vitamins found in carrots work as antioxidants, anticarcinogens, and immunoenhancers, proving the ancient adage that carrots are excellent for eyes. Carrot has also been shown to offer anti-diabetic, cholesterol and cardiovascular disease reducing, anti-hypertensive, hepatoprotective, renoprotective, wound healing, and anti-ageing skin effects. Carrot seed extracts also have cardio- and hepatoprotective, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. The nutritional and health benefits of carrots and carrot seed extracts are discussed in this article.

Minerals and Nutraceuticals in Vegetables and Their Human Health Benefits | Chapter 4 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 12

 Vegetables are important for a well-balanced diet since they provide minerals and nutraceuticals. Regular eating of a vegetable-rich diet provides proven health benefits due to their potential to prevent and treat disease. The process through which veggies reduce illness risk is complex and poorly understood. Minerals and nutraceuticals provide substrates for biochemical reactions, cofactors for enzymatic reactions, inhibitors for enzymatic reactions, compounds that improve the absorption and or stability of essential nutrients, selective growth factors for beneficial gastrointestinal bacteria, fermentation substrates for beneficial oral bacteria, and compounds that improve the absorption and or stability of essential nutrients. Selective inhibitors of harmful intestinal bacteria, absorbents and sequestrants that bind to and remove unwanted chemicals in the intestine, and so forth. Some phytochemicals present in vegetables are potent antioxidants that may reduce the risk of chronic disease by preventing free radical damage, modifying metabolic activation and detoxification of carcinogens, and even modulating mechanisms that influence tumour cell behaviour. Dietary fibre content may also play an impact in general health. Each vegetable has its own distinct mineral and nutraceutical profile. To guarantee that an individual's diet contains a combination of minerals and nutraceuticals and to get all of the health advantages, a wide variety of vegetables should be consumed.
