The industrial revolution is characterized by a shift in methods from agricultural, pastoral, and handicraft economies to the one that is dominated by production industries. The Industrial Revolution brought a significant transformation from economies that were initially based on agriculture to the one that is now dominated by large-scale industries. The Industrial Revolution was first used for Britain’s economic development in 1760 by Arnold Toynbee. It broadly applies to economic transformation rather than a period of time. The primary characteristics of an industrial revolution are technological, cultural, and socioeconomic. During the first industrial revolution, a transition to manufacturing processes using steam and water took place. Electrical technology was primarily used in the second industrial revolution to increase production. The third industrial revolution came with IT and electronics, wherein the main focus was on automation in production. The fourth industrial revolution was to provide customization using AI. The fifth industrial revolution focuses on providing personalization and a human touch to manufacturing methods. Industry 5.0 is sometimes seen as anti-industrial because of its personalization involving the human touch. This paper has done a systematic analysis of the five industrial revolutions.

Depression is a temperament syndrome that causes a tenacious emotion of wretchedness and loss of interest in any activity. It is a supreme root of mental illness, which has established the growth in the risk of early death and economic burden to a country. Traditional clinical analysis procedures are subjective, complex and need considerable contribution of professionals. The turn of the century saw incredible progress in using deep learning for medical diagnosis. Though, prediction and implementation of mental state can be remarkably hard. In this paper, we present Combinational Deep Neural Network (CDNN) for automated depression detection with facial images and text data using amalgamation of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Thereafter, combining the prediction scores of both CNN and RNN model and level of depression is decided on the basis of the range of the predefined depression-level scores. Simulation outcomes based on real-field channel measurements show that the proposed model can significantly predict depression with superior performance.

Blockchain is defined as a technology comprising of logic unit of work done in form of transactions where any read or write operation can be carried out and stored in form of blocks where any financial accounts can be accessed by different servers. This is widely used technology due to its tremendous applicability such as independent verification without the involvement of any third party, no alteration or deletion of data, use of cryptography for secure financial accounts, sequential recording of transactions, pure transparent process of transaction. Blockchain follows both private and public type of architecture. In public model, anyone can read and write while in private only authorized users have the access. Security plays a vital role where secure transactions are to be carried out. Main principles of security such as confidentiality which implies the secrecy of send message, integrity which implies the consistency of send and received message and availability which implies information required must be available for reference, which must be preserved in any security-based model. In order to reduce the impact of attacks, various security algorithms such as cryptography, ring signature, Non-interactive Zero- Knowledge Proof, CryptoNote and Monero, Homomorphic Cryptosystem system are introduced in the paper.

In the dawn of crypto-currencies the most talked currency is Bitcoin. Bitcoin is widely flourished digital currency and an exchange trading commodity implementing peer-to-peer payment network. No central athourity exists in Bitcoin. The users in network or pool of bitcoin need not to use real names, rather they use pseudo names for managing and verifying transactions. Due to the use of pseudo names bitcoin is apprehended to provide anonymity. However, the most transparent payment network is what bitcoin is. Here all the transactions are publicly open. To furnish wholeness and put a stop to double-spending, Blockchain is used, which actually works as a ledger for management of Bitcoins. Blockchain can be misused to monitor flow of bitcoins among multiple transactions. When data from external sources is amalgamated with insinuation acquired from the Blockchain, it may result to reveal user’s identity and profile. In this way the activity of user may be traced to an extent to fraud that user. Along with the popularity of Bitcoins the number of adversarial attacks has also gain pace. All these activities are meant to exploit anonymity and privacy in Bitcoin. These acivities result in loss of bitcoins and unlawful profit to attackers. Here in this paper we tried to present analysis of major attacks such as malicious attack, greater than 52% attacks and block withholding attack. Also this paper aims to present analysis and improvements in Bitcoin’s anonymity and privacy.

We all are familiar with the problems a blind person faces while performing several daily life activities. These problems are generally related to walking on roads, walking on ramps, movement in staircases, looking for path in crowded streets and market places and many other situations. Of course, many of us come ahead to help them by guiding their way, but sometimes it becomes a matter of self-respect, or say, the person is not willing to take help from others or even it is possible that nobody may be available to help. Think of a situation when a blind person is alone and an Electronic Travel Aid Stick suddenly stops working due to a completely discharged battery system. This paper aims to build a device that can generate that much amount of energy that is required to run the electronic systems efficiently so that it can prevent visually impaired people from suffering in difficult situations.
