COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes in people’s lifestyles. Some of those changes hurt people's mental health in different age groups. This research is done to investigate which factors contributed most to the occurrence of depressive and anxiety symptoms during COVID-19 lockdown, and what type of people in terms of age, sex, level of education, place of living, was the most exposed to the appearance of mental health disorders. 1115 people (18-85 years old) from Poland joined the research process. They fulfilled online questionnaires which were used as a basis for further research of lockdown impact on mental health. Responses are evaluated by using ML tools predicting the group of participants with signs of depression and anxiety, based on their answers to the questionnaires, and the attributes of the participants. Based on the results given by the studies, the youngest population (age 18-29), which participated in the surveys, experienced more intense depression and anxiety symptoms than participants from other age groups.

This research presents the epileptic focus region localization during epileptic seizures by applying different signal processing and ensemble machine learning techniques in intracranial recordings of electroencephalogram (EEG). Multi-scale Principal Component Analysis (MSPCA) is used for denoising EEG signals and the autoregressive (AR) algorithm will extract useful features from the EEG signal. The performances of the ensemble machine learning methods are measured with accuracy, F-measure, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). EEG-based focus area localization with the proposed methods reaches 98.9% accuracy using the Rotation Forest classifier. Therefore, our results suggest that ensemble machine learning methods can be applied to differentiate the EEG signals from epileptogenic brain areas and signals recorded from non-epileptogenic brain regions with high accuracy.

Objective of this study is to parallelize and apply distributed system paradigm to the whole process of EEG signal analysis including the signal segmentation, signal processing, feature extraction, and classification. This study is focused only on time required for execution of every signal processing part within real-time epileptic seizure prediction. CHB-MIT database, containing 22 pediatric patients, is used for this purpose. Based on the achieved results, parallelization has significantly decreased the execution time for more than 50 %.

The main aim of the study is to develop a real-time epilepsy prediction approach by using the ensemble machine learning techniques that might predict offline seizure paradigms. The proposed seizure prediction algorithm is patient-specific since generalization showed no satisfactory results in our previous studies. The algorithm is tested on CHB-MIT database comprised of EEG data from pediatric epileptic patients. Based on relations to number of seizures and number of files, gender and age, three patients have been chosen for this study. The special majority voting algorithm is proposed and used for raising an alarm of upcoming seizure. EEG signals are denoised using MSPCA (Multiscale PCA), the features were extracted by WPD (wavelet packet decomposition), and EEG signals were classified using Rotation Forest. The significance of the study lies in the fact that the proposed seizure prediction algorithm could be used in novel diagnostic and therapeutic applications for pediatric patients.

In this era, big data applications including biomedical are becoming attractive as the data generation and storage is increased in the last years. The big data processing to extract knowledge becomes challenging since the data mining techniques are not adapted to the new requirements. In this study, we analyse the EEG signals for epileptic seizure detection in the big data scenario using Rotation Forest classifier. Specifically, MSPCA is used for denoising, WPD is used for feature extraction and Rotation Forest is used for classification in a MapReduce framework to correctly predict the epileptic seizure. This paper presents a MapReduce-based distributed ensemble algorithm for epileptic seizure prediction and trains a Rotation Forest on each dataset in parallel using a cluster of computers. The results of MapReduce based Rotation Forest show that the proposed framework reduces the training time significantly while accomplishing a high level of performance in classifications.

E-mail still proves to be very popular and an efficient communication tool. Due to its misuse, however, managing e-mails problem for organizations and individuals. Spam, known as unwanted message, is an example of misuse. Specifically, spam is defined as the arrival of unwelcomed bulk email not being requested for by recipients. This paper compares different Machine Learning Techniques classification of spam e-mails. Random Forest (RF), C4.5 and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were tested to determine which method provides the best results in spam e-mail classification. Our results show that RF is the best technique applied on dataset Labs, indicating that ensemble methods may have an edge in spam detection effective susceptible to is spam, also is defined messages not istaken with or religious he most email by a . Furthermore, by spam. around (which makes (Grant, 2003; Every e-mail user in America received an average of 2200 pieces of spam e-mails in 2002. In 2007 it reached 3600 pieces of spam e-mails due to increase rate of 2% per month conducted a survey revealing that a Chinese spam e-mails weekly. Due to spam e enterprises lose up to 9 billion yearly reveal that spam e-mails take about 60% of the incomin in a corporate network. With inappropriate or no countermeasures, the situation will worsen and, in the end, spam e-mails may destruct the usage of e countries are slowly starting to use anti (Gaikwad & Halkarnikar, 2014). The main argument supporting spam increase is the fact that spammers do not have any costs for it: “Because email technology allows spammers to shift the costs almost entirely to third parties, there is no incentive for the spammers to reduce the volume” (Hann, Hui, Lai, Lee, & Png, 2006) issue for spam is the annoying content they carry significant amount of spam contains some offensive materials (Maria & Ng, 2009). In China, some specialists suggest spam email measure as early as possible. However, because of 1210 Sarajevo,

Epileptic foci localization is a crucial step in planning surgical treatment of medically intractable epilepsy. The solution to this problem can be determined by the detection of the earliest time of seizure onset in electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. This study presents the application of support vector machine (SVM) for localization of the focus region at the epileptic seizure on the basis of EEG signals. used intracranial EEG recordings from patients suffering from pharmacoresistant focal-onset epilepsy. We have been investigating a localization of the focus region at the epileptic seizure based on SVM to detect the onset of seizure activity in EEG data. The SVM is trained on sets of intracranial EEG recordings from patients suffering from pharmacoresistant focal-onset epilepsy. The performance of SVM is measured by using accuracy obtained from a fit between the target value and network output. Our EEG based localization of the focus region at the epileptic seizure approach achieves 97.4% accuracy with using 10 fold cross validation. Therefore, our method can be successfully applied to localization of the epileptogenic foci.
