The study used a qualitative research design with a descriptive technique due to the nature of the stated research problem, which was to explore people's experiences with conserving forests and behaviors. In this study 146 sample households were chosen from 2224 households through multi-stage selection approaches. Both primary and secondary data were utilised. The primary data were gathered through structured questionnaires, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions This study found that the community used distinct indigenous knowledge in various activities. Farmers who illegally cut down forests believed that God cursed them, and Gada elders accused them of isolating from the society. Particularly trees culturally regarded among community like 'Wodessa' and religious respected trees like Oda also certain trees which community used for blessing. The belief and rules governing local communities to replace trees used for other domestic consumption or other purposes, as well as the usage of fire outside of their homes, are governed by societal beliefs and customs. Local communities across different agro-ecological zones have more experience planting trees before taking them down for a specific purpose. Aside from the best indigenous forest conservation practices and the presence of modern religion and culture, the expansion/increased demand of agricultural land market economies or livelihood systems, as well as investment activities, have an impact on indigenous forest conservation practice in studied areas. Based on the study's findings, the researchers advocate that community, government, and policymakers integrate modern forest conservation with traditional forest conservation without compromising the culture and beliefs of the local community for forest conservation.</em></p> Mando Choto Doyo, Rajesh Kumar Copyright (c) 2024 Mando Choto Doyo, RAJESH KUMAR https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://jmss.a2zjournals.com/index.php/mss/article/view/59 Thu, 25 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Utilising Exploratory Data Analysis and Machine Learning Algorithms for Heart Disease Analysis and Prediction https://jmss.a2zjournals.com/index.php/mss/article/view/56 <p><em>As one of the most common and potentially fatal diseases in the world, heart disease must be detected early for proper treatment. With exploratory data analysis (EDA) and machine learning algorithms for predictive analysis, this research project seeks to thoroughly investigate the different aspects that contribute to heart disease. This will enable prompt diagnosis and risk mitigation. Numerous crucial features affecting the diagnosis of heart disease have been found through in-depth exploratory analysis of data. Among these features, the number of major arteries stained by fluoroscopy, the various forms of chest pain, the maximum heart rate reached, exercise-induced angina, the slope of the peak exercise ST segment, and the ST depression brought on by activity relative to rest&nbsp;stand out as most&nbsp;significant factors. Clinicians can learn a great deal about a patient's risk of developing heart disease by carefully examining these characteristics. In order to put this research's predictive component into practice, machine learning classifiers are built using the UCI heart disease dataset, which contains important variables pertaining to cardiac health. For comparison analysis, six different methods are used: Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boost (GB), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Logistic Regression (LR). After conducting a comprehensive analysis, it has been determined that the Random Forest classifier has the best accuracy rate, attaining a remarkable 85.25%. </em></p> Humra Khan, P.
