Federated learning based Covid-19 detection.

The world is affected by COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Tests are necessary for everyone as the number of COVID-19 affected individual's increases. So, the authors developed a basic sequential CNN model based on deep and federated learning that focuses on user data security while simultaneously enhancing test accuracy. The proposed model helps users detect COVID-19 in a few seconds by uploading a single chest X-ray image. A deep learning-aided architecture that can handle client and server sides efficiently has been proposed in this work. The front-end part has been developed using StreamLit, and the back-end uses a Flower framework. The proposed model has achieved a global accuracy of 99.59% after being trained for three federated communication rounds. The detailed analysis of this paper provides the robustness of this work. In addition, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) will improve the ease of access to the aforementioned health services. IoMT tools and services are rapidly changing healthcare operations for the better. Hopefully, it will continue to do so in this difficult time of the COVID-19 pandemic and will help to push the envelope of this work to a different extent.

Understanding the Post Covid Future of Football Profession: Can Passion to Profession Gap be Narrowed

Football is, arguably, the most globalized sport in the world. Since the official date of its foundation, back in 1863, it has spread around the planet, reaching almost every country. Over time, Football roots grew so attached to society that it is a valid indicator to understand how the social order responds to general crises. In 1911 in the IFA Shield tournament when Mohun Bagan defeated the British side, East Yorkshire Regiment, and took home the shield. This was Indian football's 'Lagaan' moment. Even during the period between 1950 and 1962 is often considered to be the 'Golden Era' of Indian football, so much so that India was often referred to as the 'Brazil of Asia'. But where are we now? The latest FIFA rankings places India at the 105th position. We are a country of 1.3 billion people failing to produce a well-built set of players, who can challenge European, South American, or even our South Asian counterparts consistently. So, it certainly begs the question: Where are we going wrong?
