In recent times, there has been vast interest amongst researchers and financial analysts in the application of deep learning and optimization approaches to the prediction of trends in the stock market. The financial markets bear inherent complexities and non-linearities such that forecasting into their trends calls for very complex methods. In this paper, we take a deep dive into the state-of-the-art deep learning models and optimization algorithms applied in stock market trend forecasting. We investigate various architectures, including RNNs, LSTMs, CNNs, and hybrid models. In our attempt to improve the prediction accuracy and efficiency of the model, we also investigate several optimization methodologies, including genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and reinforcement learning. This review addresses the merits and demerits of these methodologies, analyzes the practical applications of these approaches, and even identifies prospective areas for further research. Our findings show that the integration of deep learning with sophisticated optimization methods has the potential to demonstrate significant advances in the forecasting capabilities of financial markets.

 Abstract

Pediatric stomach cancer is an exceedingly rare malignancy with varied incidence rates and outcomes across different regions. This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the epidemiology, diagnostic strategies, and treatment modalities for pediatric stomach cancer from 2020 to 2024. A systematic review of literature published between 2020 and 2024 was conducted. Databases searched included PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Studies were included if they reported on pediatric patients (age 0-18) with stomach cancer, and provided data on epidemiology, diagnostic methods, or treatment outcomes. 10 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The result showed that incidence of pediatric stomach cancer ranged from 0.3 to 2 per million children annually, with higher rates reported in urban settings. Genetic predispositions, particularly mutations in CDH1 and TP53, were identified as significant risk factors. Endoscopy emerged as the primary diagnostic tool, demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity, while complementary imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans played crucial roles in staging. Despite these advancements, the median time to diagnosis remained between 2 to 4 months, indicating ongoing challenges in early detection. Treatment involved surgery and chemotherapy, with multimodal approaches showing improved survival outcomes. However, variability in treatment protocols and the occurrence of adverse effects like neutropenia and cardiotoxicity were noted. Studies highlighted the need for standardized treatment protocols and enhanced diagnostic capabilities, particularly in resource-limited settings. This review concluded that underscores the importance of early detection and standardized treatment protocols in managing pediatric stomach cancer. Future research should focus on large-scale, multicentric studies to validate genetic findings and optimize treatment strategies, as well as addressing barriers to early diagnosis in different regions.

 Abstract

FoMO and social comparison are two common terms that are generally recognized among university students and has an impact on their psychological well-being. The study investigates the influence of fear of escape (FoMO)and Social Comparison on university students' Psychological Well-being. This study aims to uncover the extent to which these factors contribute to student's general mental health through a comprehensive review and empirical analysis of existing literature by examining the prevalence of FoMO and Social Comparison in university. The sample consisted of hundred university students (N=100) pursuing bachelors or undergraduate courses from various universities of Delhi NCR. The sampling was based on random sampling method. The data was collected using questionnaire method and the tools used were Fear Of Missing Out Scale (FOMOS), Social comparison Scale (SCS) and Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS).This study has adopted an exploratory research design and employed regression analysis. Regression analysis is used in the study to look at how social comparison and FoMO negatively affect students' mental health. Research suggests that stress and anxiety can be increased by comparing oneself to peers in terms of accomplishments, attractiveness, or way of life. This is made worse by FoMO, which intensifies the pressure to keep up with others and results in a lowered sense of self-worth and self-esteem. According to the study, these actions might obstruct one's own growth and perpetuate a vicious cycle of unhappiness and inertia. Digital connectedness and excessive social media use also intensify these harmful impacts. In order to lessen these effects, the research emphasizes the significance of setting up sound boundaries and developing self-awareness and self-compassion. To encourage good mental health outcomes and resistance against social comparison and fear of missing out, it is essential to foster a supportive and genuine atmosphere in social circles and educational environments.
