This paper adapts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to investigate the influence of ICTs on Uganda's maternal health sector development based on the premise that ICTs have supported improvements in maternal health services such as antenatal, pregnancy, and postnatal care. The SLR analysed twenty articles and reports, which were classified using the Search, Appraisal, Synthesis, and Analysis (SALSA) framework and Mendeley referencing tool. Six ICT initiatives in maternal health were identified and evaluated, centred on their developmental contributions. Using a theoretical framework for analysis of ICT-based development initiatives, we categorized explanatory development perceptions about the ICT initiatives. Conceptual categories adopted from the framework include better lives for the poor and improved government services. The categories rationalized inferred contextual literature relating to the developmental contributions of the ICT initiatives. Our findings provide an interpretive understanding of the ICT initiative's significance towards service delivery access and improvement. However, the study was limited by insufficient literature about ICTs in Uganda's maternal health sector. Future studies aim to develop an Artificial intelligence system to support improved maternal healthcare in Uganda and a theoretical framework.

Insects are generally characterized as organisms that have negative impacts on both human health and the environment in areas where human habitation exists. These pests typically inhabit and reproduce in locations that contain waste, such as garbage sites, abandoned places, and septic tanks. House flies, for instance, can significantly affect the daily lives of individuals and even prompt widespread epidemics by transmitting diseases to humans. To mitigate the proliferation of pests and minimize their environmental damage, pest control is a crucial responsibility that falls under the jurisdiction of municipalities in Turkey. Municipalities commonly utilize chemical-based methods that are non-hazardous to humans and the environment while concurrently efficacious in exterminating pests or thwarting their reproduction. These chemicals are typically prepared by experts and then applied to the areas in which the pests reside. However, the primary issue that municipalities encounter is the vast expanse of land that needs to be managed, coupled with limited resources in terms of both human labor and equipment, alongside the dispersal of pests' living and breeding locations throughout a broad territory. To address this problem, this study employed the coordinates of previously identified insect nests. These nests were divided into clusters based on predetermined criteria using the k-means method within the municipality borders. Then, utilizing Google or-tools, the distance to be covered by the vehicle for each cluster was calculated. Finally, comparisons were made between the obtained results, and various recommendations were proposed.

As a developing country, Sri Lanka needs to go along with cutting-edge technologies. In the beginning phase of this digital advertising, multiple advertisements were displayed on the users’ feeds, including advertisements despite their preferences. This was a terrible user experience for the users. However, smart advertising based on customer preferences can manage the flow of advertisements on the feed as per the users’ preferences. This same technique can be used in handling advertisements while shopping at supermarkets. These advertisements can be directed based on demographic characteristics like face and gender and previous customer transactions. Additionally, providing the nearest supermarket they can reach based on their current location. Queue management is the next most crucial facility that needs to be provided to a supermarket. However, the manual system of queue management is not effective. But with a modernized queue management system, overcrowded supermarkets can be managed effectively. This proposed system also considers providing a chatbot service to manage customer inquiries in a reliable strategy. In this system, we mainly used the Keras model called VGGFace for face detection, the Conventional Neural Network and Keras-based model for gender detection, the TensorFlow model called Single Shot MultiBox Detection MobileNet for queue and crowd detection, the Apriori algorithm base model for predicting the buying pattern, a Keras-based model for Artificial Intelligence chatbot and finally, google map Application Programming Interface for the nearest supermarket finding are models and technology. This system was developed to manage a supermarket properly.

Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among men. Early detection of Prostate cancer is important in improving the survival rate of patients. In this study, we aimed to develop a machine learning model for the detection and diagnosis of Prostate cancer using clinical and radiological data. We used a dataset of 200 patients with Prostate cancer and 200 healthy controls and extracted a set of features from their clinical and radiological data. We then trained and evaluated several machines learning models, including logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, and neural network models, using 10-fold cross-validation. Our results show that the random forest model achieved the highest accuracy of 0.92, with a sensitivity of 0.95 and a specificity of 0.89. The decision tree model achieved a similar accuracy of 0.91, while the logistic regression, support vector machine, and neural network models achieved lower accuracies of 0.86, 0.87, and 0.88, respectively. Our findings suggest that machine learning models can be effective in detecting and diagnosing Prostate cancer using clinical and radiological data, and that the random forest model may be the most suitable model for this task.

Today, the Internet is used for various applications such as sending or receiving emails, access to multimedia services, social networks, etc. Moreover, the population of people who use the Internet is increasing. Therefore, the issue of Internet of Things (IoT) security has become a major problem today. Recently, Deep Learning has become one of the most influential and valuable methods for detecting abnormalities in IoT Networks. Further, Deep Learning models produced more effective performance than traditional techniques in abnormalities detection. Moreover, the structure and parameters of ML and DL models can be optimized using evolutionary algorithms (EA). The survey aims to overview recent research on anomaly detection in the IoT-based Deep Learning model that EA has enhanced.
