Existing ways of categorizing patients include medical records, cognitive testing, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which assist in diagnosing the condition, but a deep learning-based approach helps to discover Alzheimer's at an early stage. In this study, we propose an Alzheimer Recognition Ensemble Network (ALZENET) for classifying various stages of Alzheimer using MRI data. The study utilized the Kaggle MRI-based AD dataset, which comprised a total of 6,400 MRI images across four distinct classes. To address the significant class imbalance present in the dataset, the SMOTE technique was employed. Our ensemble model, which combines VGG16, Inception V3, and ResNet50 with a multi-layered CNN architecture, achieved a test accuracy of 97.31 %, significantly outperforming existing approaches in Alzheimer's disease classification. Additionally, a deep learning-based web application was developed to assist doctors in efficiently identifying different stages of Alzheimer's disease.

However, the social value of humanistic factors such as public culture has been seriously neglected in the construction of smart cities, and there is an urgent need for its value-orientation to put the overly technology-focused enterprise-led smart city construction back on the right path. This paper discusses the development status of smart cities, the advantages and shortcomings of smart cities, and the importance of public culture. In this paper, we analyse the current development status, diverse characteristics, advantages and shortcomings of Chinese smart cities in the context of four cities, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou, and point out the lack of public culture construction in Chinese smart cities. Further, the research delineates five key values of public culture in smart city development and constructs a comprehensive evaluation framework comprising 31 indicators across six dimensions: supply, participation, innovation, fairness, suitability, and richness. Based on this framework, six recommendations are proposed for the development of public cultural initiatives in smart cities to enhance their positive impact on urban development, and to provide a new perspective for promoting the construction of a better and more warm-hearted smart city.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101213,"journal":{"name":"Telematics and Informatics Reports","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159801","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}

While some celebrate the practice for activating the viewer and connecting them to virtual others, perhaps discussing the show in real-time, critics point to cognitive costs and reduced productivity. A perhaps more scathing critique has been added to those multitasking while watching nature documentaries: you are already consuming nature through a screen, but now your focus is further fragmented across multiple apps. The implication is that this is not an authentic way of experiencing nature, at a time—the Digital Anthropocene—when direct nature experiences dwindle. In this study, we examine viewers’ engagement with different sorts of media and ‘real-life’, physical multitasking during a slow-TV nature documentary, The Great Moose Migration in Sweden. We ask what these tasks mean not only for one's enjoyment and relaxation, but more broadly for nature engagement in the Digital Anthropocene, and connection to others over nature as something shared. Through surveys and digital ethnography of the Great Moose Migration, our research shows how multitasking around nature contributes to a potentially transformative experience. It is a viewer experience that is at once personal through increased customization options and layering of different activities. Second, it is communal in terms of connecting diverse audiences on platforms. Our contribution is in showing that taskscapes are now becoming multi-taskscapes, which comprise both physical and digital tasks over nature. These multi-taskscapes are actively shaped by users who engage with them.
