Several digital interventions have been deployed to reduce the catastrophic impact of the pandemic and observe preventive measures.

Therefore, this study carried out exploratory investigation of the factors influencing the behavioural intention (BI) of people to accept COVID-19 digital tackling technologies (CDTT) using the UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) framework. The study applied principal components analysis and multiple regression analysis for hypotheses testing.

Also, organizational</p><p>influence and benefit (OIB) and government expectancy and benefits (GEB) influence the people's BI. However, variables such as age, gender and voluntariness to use CDTT have no significance to influence BI because the CDTT is still nascent and not easily accessible. The results show that the decision-makers and regulators should consider inciting variables such as PE, FC, SI, OIB and GEB, that motivate the acceptance and use of CDTT. Furthermore, the populace must be sensitized to the availability and use of CDTT in all communities. Also, the path diagram and hypothesis testing results for CDTT acceptance and use, will help government and private organizations in planning and responding to the digitalization of COVID-19 protective measures and hence revise the COVID-19 health protection regulation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101201,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Operations and Computers","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 118-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666412721000507/pdfft?md5=d753927d547d68a54037b44cf9038d61&pid=1-s2.0-S2666412721000507-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78734875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we delve into some of the CNN classifiers used to detect breast cancer by classifying mammogram images into benign, cancer, or normal class. Our study evaluated the performance of various CNN architectures such as AlexNet, VGG16, and ResNet50 by training some of them from scratch and some using transfer learning with pre-trained weights. The above model classifiers are trained and tested using mammogram images from the mini-DDSM dataset which is publicly available. The medical dataset contains limited samples of data due to low patient volume; this can lead to overfitting issue, so to overcome this limitation data augmentation process is applied. Rotation and zooming techniques are applied to increase the data volume. The validation strategy used here is 90:10 ratio. AlexNet showed an accuracy of 65 percent, whereas VGG16 and ResNet50 showed an accuracy of 65% and 61%, respectively when fine-tuned with pre-trained weights. VGG16 performed significantly worse when trained from scratch, whereas AlexNet outperformed others.
