Credit Card Fraud Detection Using Ml Algorithms

Bank credit card default rates are (as predicted by S&P dow Jones index) at all time high for the past few months. This possess a real challenge for banks and other lending financial institutions, as they are now more than ever are in need of a robust risk prediction model to generalize the economic behavior of their current and potential future clients. In real world massive stream of payment requests are coming in every second which is huge challenge to monitor. Machine Learning algorithms help in solving these huge challenges to an extent. These predictive models would not only benefit the lending institutions but also the customer as it would make them more aware of their potential defaulting rate. The goal of this project is to resolve this problem by building and comparing predictive risk models using supervised learning algorithms. We use python libraries to perform various Machine learning algorithms on the credit card dataset and data diagrams to have better visualization of data. Here the credit card fraud detection is done on the basis of some attributes in the dataset like the time factor and the amount factor. The accuracy of the algorithms is also being determined and the most efficient one is said with the highest accuracy obtained..

Enterprise Precision Marketing Effectiveness Model Based on Data Mining Technology

Due to the explosive growth of massive consumption data, the traditional marketing model of enterprises has become stretched. The rapid advancement of data mining technology has given new impetus to the innovation of the marketing strategies of enterprises, promoting the progressive transformation of enterprises from traditional passive marketing to precise and refined marketing. Data mining technology’s basic task is to analyze data, acquire insight into cause and effect, and then predict the future. As a result, the technology is coupled with the enterprises’ marketing activities, and a precise marketing model is built using big data consumption. This will aid in the comprehensive and three-dimensional description of customers, as well as the analysis of potential customers’ attributes, to give a scientific basis for the formulation and implementation of precise data-driven decision-making for enterprises. As a result, our study enhances and optimizes the K-means algorithm in combination with the artificial bee colony algorithm aiming at fixing the issue that the K-means algorithm is sensitive to cluster center initialization and improving the enterprise precision marketing model’s clustering performance. In the precise marketing scenario of the telecom business, the improved K-means clustering model is utilized to realize the analysis and prediction of telecom customers, as well as to carry out precise marketing based on the predicted findings. Finally, the optimized K-means clustering algorithm can objectively and comprehensively reflect the characteristics of telecom customer value segmentation, efficiently mining future clients and preventing blind marketing by enterprises, based on the model's actual verification results. Simultaneously, it provides substantial data support for telecom enterprises’ resource planning, as well as pointing out the next step in increasing market share.

JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICER PERCEPTIONS OF PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN JUVENILE PROBATION AND WITH CONTINGENCY MANAGEMENT.

Probation is a common sanction for youth substance users, and as such, juvenile probation officers (JPOs) shoulder much of the burden for treatment and rehabilitation. To improve youth outcomes and alleviate some of the burden, JPOs may seek parental involvement in the probation and substance use desistance processes. Using focus group data, we analyzed JPO perceptions of the role parents play in contingency management (CM)-an incentive system designed to produce and reward decreased substance use-and whether they perceived any value in CM. We found that most JPOs perceived parental involvement as critical to the success of both substance use treatment and CM for youth. Our findings also suggest JPOs found parental involvement in CM valuable given that CM was employed on nonstudy clients and future clients. This has implications for the practicality and sustainability of CM as a youth probation intervention.

Synchronous learning in online course: a necessity or choice?

E-learning and lifelong learning are considered to be important factors in the knowledge-based society. Synchronous online learning is both a conscious choice of modern universities and a necessity brought about by globalization. The materials of this article are devoted to the issues of justifying the use of synchronous online learning at Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences (WUELS), as well as the selection and expert evaluation of the effectiveness of using ICT to support it. Two main processes have been identified to improve and develop: process of Educating / teaching employees, people interested in raising their qualifications, candidates for studies and Communication of the current and future clients of the university. The stages of the choice of the tools to support the implementation of selected processes are highlighted. To select tools we based on the following criteria: availability, some initial familiarization with the tool, the functions offered, friendly and aesthetic interface, technical support, the possibility of cooperation with the Moodle platform. As a result, to support synchronous online learning in WUELS was selected was a live stream was on YouTube, Skype, an E-science platform and Click Meeting.

Propension to customer churn in a financial institution: a machine learning approach.

This paper examines churn prediction of customers in the banking sector using a unique customer-level dataset from a large Brazilian bank. Our main contribution is in exploring this rich dataset, which contains prior client behavior traits that enable us to document new insights into the main determinants predicting future client churn. We conduct a horserace of many supervised machine learning algorithms under the same cross-validation and evaluation setup, enabling a fair comparison across algorithms. We find that the random forests technique outperforms decision trees, k-nearest neighbors, elastic net, logistic regression, and support vector machines models in several metrics. Our investigation reveals that customers with a stronger relationship with the institution, who have more products and services, who borrow more from the bank, are less likely to close their checking accounts. Using a back-of-the-envelope estimation, we find that our model has the potential to forecast potential losses of up to 10% of the operating result reported by the largest Brazilian banks in 2019, suggesting the model has a significant economic impact. Our results corroborate the importance of investing in cross-selling and upselling strategies focused on their current customers. These strategies can have positive side effects on customer retention.

A Study of Data Augmentation for ASR Robustness in Low Bit Rate Contact Center Recordings Including Packet Losses

Client conversations in contact centers are nowadays routinely recorded for a number of reasons—in many cases, just because it is required by current legislation. However, even if not required, conversations between customers and agents can be a valuable source of information about clients or future clients, call center agents, markets trends, etc. Analyzing these recordings provides an excellent opportunity to be aware about the business and its possibilities. The current state of the art in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) allows this information to be effectively extracted and used. However, conversations are usually stored in highly compressed ways to save space and typically contain packet losses that produce short interruptions in the speech signal due to the common use of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) in these systems. These effects, and especially the last one, have a negative impact on ASR performance. This article presents an extensive study on the importance of these effects on modern ASR systems and the effectiveness of using several techniques of data augmentation to increase their robustness. In addition, ITU-T G.711, a well-known Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) method is applied in combination with data augmentation techniques to analyze ASR performance improvement on signals affected by packet losses.

The respondents want to gain all the necessary knowledge to optimize the condition of their future clients and to successfully practice this profession. Risky actions, authoritarian style of communication and work in a tense environment are not among the preferred values. The perspectives for improving the activities of future fitness instructors are outlined.

Relating the Makerspace Movement to DIY Adaptive Equipment in an Online Intervention Course for Adults with Physical Disabilities

Many occupational therapy programs use hybrid instruction methods that include virtual learning. To ensure active learning techniques, instructors must alter and adapt traditional instruction methods to the virtual environment. This article explores the use of a virtual Makerspace to create adaptive equipment used throughout online intervention course experiences. Thirty-seven first year occupational therapy students participated in an exclusively online, synchronous course focusing on interventions for adults with physical disabilities. A Makerspace was created to allow students to have access to adaptive equipment (AE) and teach students how to fabricate low-cost AE for future clients. During class, guided instruction was provided to fabricate a sock aide and a universal cuff. This AE was then used throughout the course to provide hands on learning opportunities. Summative assessments were used at midterm and at the conclusion of the course. Students noted enjoyment and preference for hands on activities such as Makerspace, acknowledging how this connected with roleplaying and client interactions. Students were observably engaged throughout the course and integrated AE into learning scenarios throughout. Student feedback supported the use of a virtual Makerspace and reinforces the notion of the maker movement as shared ideas and space to build community. This not only provides a learning opportunity but offers connection in virtual environments. Makerspace activities can also be used to build competence and confidence in OT intervention. A Makerspace is an active learning opportunity that can be successful in person or virtual environments.

FEATURES OF POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH OF SOCIONOMIC SPECIALTIES STUDENTS IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR

The results of an empirical study of the features of post-traumatic growth of socionomic specialties students are presented in the article. The main requirements for specialists in helping professions are revealed: the ability to understand clients, provide emotional support, actively cooperate, help others in self-realization and make optimal decisions, etc. The emotional overload of specialists with such profiles in the conditions of war, as well as a decrease in the emotional state of higher education seekers, are shown. The importance of socionomic specialties students’ post-traumatic growth as a condition of personal readiness for future professional activity is explained. The results of the empirical research are summarized. Established such transformations related to the students’ experience of war events as a high level of growth in the value of life, low levels of changes in spiritual development, and attitude toward others. It is found that only a small number of students began to feel the inner strength and ability to overcome difficulties. The obtained data proved the insufficient personal readiness of higher education seekers to provide support to future clients. The hypothesis regarding a statistically significant relationship between indicators of post-traumatic growth (spiritual changes, index of post-traumatic growth, strength of personality, attitude towards others, and value of life) and the age of the interviewees is confirmed. The connection of age with the feeling of new opportunities and interests is not revealed. Hypotheses regarding a statistically significant relationship between the post-traumatic growth index and the chosen specialty, the post-traumatic growth index and the course of study are refuted. This emphasizes the need to clarify the internal factors of post-traumatic growth of socionomic specialties students.

Impact of Service-Learning on Student Counselors’ Self-Reported Measures of Program Evaluation, Counselor Advocacy, and Interprofessional Education

Academic service-learning encompasses a reciprocal relationship among university and community partners. Service-learning can familiarize student counselors with future client populations, community resources, and other service providers. Service-learning pedagogy is flexible and may be particularly useful to promote development in counselor competencies more abstractly related to day-to-day client services, including program evaluation and professional advocacy. Interprofessional education serves as a means of enhancing interprofessional collaboration and, in turn, the well-being of individuals seeking healthcare services. Service-learning may provide a vehicle to promote interprofessional education, however, researchers have not yet explored this connection. This quantitative research project evaluates pre- and post- changes of 18 participants using the Effective Practices Survey, Advocacy Competencies Self-Assessment scale to measure experiences in program evaluation, counselor advocacy, and interprofessional education. Results indicate that student counselor scores significantly increased for each of the three variables of interest, with the largest changes observed for counselor advocacy. What is the public significance of this article? Academic service-learning leverages relationships between university and community partners. Service-learning may be a particularly effective pedagogical strategy to promote applied and potentially abstract concepts. This article explores the impact of engagement in an experiential service-learning project on 18 student counselors’ learning outcomes related to program evaluation, counselor advocacy, and perceptions of interprofessional education.

Social educator students' readiness to address sexual health in their future profession.

Norwegian social educator students' attitudes towards addressing sexual health are unknown, even if their future clients often have needs related to sexual issues. To investigate social educator students' readiness to address sexual health in their future profession. In 2019, 213 social educator students (response rate 34%) responded to the Students' Attitudes towards addressing Sexual Health Extended online questionnaire. Most of the social educator students felt comfortable and ready to address sexual health in their future profession, but thought they had insufficient competence and education concerning sexual health. There were gender and age differences when discussing sexual health among persons with intellectual disabilities. Despite most Norwegian social educator students feeling ready to address sexual health, they needed additional competences and education. Further research is needed concerning the effectiveness of educational interventions targeting competence in sexual health, to ensure sufficient support for clients in this field.

Japanese women's reasons for accompaniment status to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer-focused genetic counseling.

Genetic counselors routinely assess and understand clients' needs at the beginning of a session. Attending a genetic counseling session with or without companions is an objective sign that genetic counselors can easily notice. This study focused on clients' reasons for their accompaniment status for genetic counseling, which we categorize into attending with or without a companion(s). A questionnaire survey and interviews were conducted using snowball sampling, starting with the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Japanese hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) support group. Of 32 participants, 19 continued with an in-depth interview after answering the questionnaire. Five themes were identified from the interview: (1) personal confidence, (2) decision-making style, (3) family members' habits and time availability, (4) considerations and conflicts with family members, and (5) healthcare provider's suggestion. Our data suggested that the clients expected their companion(s) to play certain roles. This indicates that the reasons of accompaniment status will be helpful for genetic counselors to understand both clients' and their families' motivations, personalities, habits, and psychosocial backgrounds. In a high-context culture such as that of Japan, accompaniment status may be a helpful sign to understand clients' true worries. In addition, some companions may be future clients in genetic counseling, due to the genetic nature of the disease. In conclusion, our study indicated that it is important for genetic counselors to record accompaniment status before the initial genetic counseling and to pay attention to its reasons at the beginning of the session, which may lead them to understand the client's psychosocial background to facilitate better client-centered genetic counseling.

Disordered Eating Attitudes and Behaviors of Dietetics Students

The study of disordered eating in dietetics students is vital for health outcomes and ethical consequences for students and their future clients. The eating attitudes and behaviors of 317 undergraduate health students were examined using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Findings indicated 5.1% of dietetics students had scores symptomatic of eating disorders. In addition, dietetics students who completed more nutrition courses had lower EAT-26 scores than students who completed fewer nutrition courses. Given the personal and professional consequences of disordered eating, resources for preventing, identifying, and treating disordered eating are needed in dietetics education programs.

ObjectivesHigh rates of depression, anxiety and stress are reported in tertiary health students. Mindfulness-based programs have been included in the training of health students to help them manage depression, anxiety and stress; however, to date, there has been no review of best practice implementation of mindfulness for health students. The aim of this review was to evaluate the outcomes of mindfulness-based practice for health students to inform best practice with this population.MethodsA comprehensive search was conducted of three electronic databases (PsychINFO, Medline and Embase) guided by the five-step systematic process for conducting scoping reviews to investigate mindfulness-based intervention programs for students enrolled in a tertiary institution in a health-related course.ResultsTwenty-four papers met the eligibility criteria and were reviewed in detail. Findings suggested that mindfulness-based intervention approaches are useful in decreasing depression, anxiety and stress in health students; however, challenges exist in student engagement and retention. Generalization of results was limited by the heterogeneous population, intervention designs and delivery methods, as well as a lack of standardized outcome measures.ConclusionThe inclusion of mindfulness-based programs within tertiary curricula can be an effective approach to assist with managing depression, stress and anxiety in health students. Providing academic credit to students, improving translation of skills to working with future clients, and embedding mindfulness-based programs within the curriculum could improve engagement and retention.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12671-021-01740-3.

“I have learned my lesson”: How clients' trust betrayals shape the future ways in which street‐level bureaucrats cope with their clients

AbstractTrust betrayal is a subjective feeling of a street‐level bureaucrat (SLB) that a client acted contrary to expectations, diminishing the former's belief in the latter's good intentions. How do SLBs experience a betrayal of trust by clients? How do such betrayals shape the future ways in which SLBs cope with clients? We investigate these questions empirically using semi‐structured, in‐depth interviews and focus groups with Israeli social service providers. The findings reveal four types of client trust betrayal: integrity‐based, previous impression‐based, legitimate behavior‐based, and category‐based. We identify five strategies SLBs employ to cope with clients following such betrayals. With specific clients who betrayed their trust, they adopt minimal, formal, and guarded behavior; they satisfy the client's demands; they sever the relationship with the client entirely. With future clients, they exhibit careful, less “naïve” behavior and adopt a boundary‐setting approach. The negative implications for public service delivery may be far‐reaching.
