Authors: Kartina Diah Kusuma Wardani  , Memen Akbar
Published: August 2023

Diabetes results from impaired pancreatic function as a producer of insulin and glucagon hormones, which regulate glucose levels in the blood. People with diabetes today are not only experienced adults, but pre-diabetes has been identified since the age of children and adolescents. Early prediction of diabetes can make it easier for doctors and patients to intervene as soon as possible so that the risk of complications can be reduced. One of the uses of medical data from diabetes patients is to produce a model that medical personnel can use to predict and identify diabetes in patients. Various techniques are used to provide the earliest possible prediction of diabetes based on the symptoms experienced by diabetic patients, including the use of machine learning. People can use machine learning to generate models based on historical data from diabetic patients, and predictions are made with the model. In this study, extreme gradient boosting is the machine learning technique for predicting diabetes (xgboost) using XGBoost with importance features. The diabetes dataset used in this study comes from the early stage diabetes risk prediction dataset published by UCI Machine Learning, which has 520 records and 16 attributes. The diabetes prediction model using xgboost is displayed as a tree. The model precision result in this study was 98.71%, for the F1 score was 98.18%. The accuracy obtained based on the best 10 attributes using the importance of the XGBoost feature is 98.72%.

Published: August 2023

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hearing loss is one of the fourth leading causes of disability. The number of people with hearing loss continues to increase yearly. This increase occurred due to delays in recognizing hearing loss, leading to delays in providing treatment. To solve this problem, one solution to deal with this is early identification to detect the degree of hearing loss. This research will use machine learning to classify the degree of hearing loss. The algorithm implemented in this study is naive Bayes. This study uses a data set from the Zenodo open access repository with 3105 raw data and 19 features. This study evaluates the performance of overall accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score and classified four classes: mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe. The methodology classification stages in this study include data preprocessing, data training, data testing, and evaluation. From evaluating the performance of the Naive Bayes algorithm,  the classification results obtained the highest impacts in the form of 94% overall accuracy, 100% precision, 100% recall and 97% f1-score in classifying the degree of hearing loss.

Published: August 2023

The result of a deep learning-based image captioning system with encoder-decoder framework relies heavily on the image feature extraction technique and the caption-based model. The accuracy of the model is heavily influenced by the proposed attention mechanism. The inability to distinguish between the output of the attention model and the input expectation of the decoder can cause the decoder to give incorrect results. In this paper, we proposed an object-attention mechanism using object detection. Object detection outputs a bounding box and an object category label, which is then used as an image input into VGG16 for feature extraction and into a caption-based LSTM model. The experimental results showed that the system with object attention performed better than the system without object attention. BLEU-1, BLEU-2, BLEU-3, BLEU-4, and CIDER scores for the image captioning system with object attention improved 12.48%, 17.39%, 24.06%, 36.37%, and 43.50% respectively compared to the system without object attention.

Published: August 2023

Library is an institution that collects printed and recorded knowledge, manages it in a particular way to meet the intellectual needs of its users through various ways of knowledge interaction. In 2021, Indonesia provided 4605 active educational institutions, ranging from universities to community academies. All these institutions are obliged to provide library to create a better learning environment, by providing source of references for each course delivered by the institution. This obligation is encouraged by the government by considering library support within the accreditation system. In this accreditation system, a library should allocate books as a source of reference to each course. This establishes a paradigm that library is where we store books and where a member of the institution may borrow, learn, and return those aforementioned books. Today, educational institution deals with not only books but also thesis, dissertation, technical report, training/workshop report, research paper, etc. Authors believe it will be prudent to leave all these documents of knowledge to librarians, by changing the library's paradigm from managing books to managing knowledge. This study proposes a model of Knowledge Management System as a transformation from Library Management System. This study also explains about expected opportunities and benefits after the transformation.

Utilization of Mobile Network Infrastructure to Prevent Financial Mobile Application Account Takeover
Authors: Aldiansah Prayogi  , Rizal Fathoni Aji
Published: August 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has kept almost everyone at home and forced them to perform online activities using their mobile gadgets. Penetration of the Internet and mobile use is increased as lockdowns or restrictions on meeting face to face are getting used to. This has become a new market for cyber criminals to carry out their actions, such as spreading Social Engineering, sending Phishing, doing Account Takeover, and ending in theft of money in Financial Mobile Applications. Application protection with OTP SMS and Magic Link SMS still has vulnerabilities, with several examples of cases that have occurred. For this reason, this problem was raised to find a solution using the Mobile Network Infrastructure. The method used is to compare the congruence between the phone numbers registered in the application and the phone numbers used. Every time a user signs in or signs up, the Financial Mobile Application will perform Mobile Network Verification to cellular operators via API. Verification is carried out by utilizing the header enrichment in the background of the application process that was installed on the user's smartphone or tablet to the Mobile Network Verification Server. The Financial Mobile Applications can then determine whether the user is using a valid or invalid telephone number. Therefore, the target account cannot be taken over because the cyber criminal's mobile device does not have the phone number attached to the victim’s mobile device. This proof is carried out with four test case scenarios with the sign-up and sign-in processes on the same phone number and different phone numbers between devices and applications. It is hoped that this kind of protection model can reduce losses experienced by users of Financial Mobile Applications due to Account Takeover.

The extent of utilization of all the infrastructural facilities was not uniform among the different categories of farmers. Hence extension methods like meetings and campaigns are to be arranged to convince the farmers about the advantages of utilising various facilities. It was found that the regulated market and storage and ware housing facilities were not completely utilized by the rice farmers. Hence the extension functionaries should take necessary steps to popularise these facilities. The important constraint was non-availability of organisations to obtain the credit, input and implements. Hence they are to be established by observing scientific procedures.

A new variety of paddy ASD 17 has been released by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University from the Rice Research Station, Ambasamudram for general cultivation. The variety was tested as AS 688 in Kanyakumari district both under semidry and wet conditions and in Nellai Kattabomman district under wet conditions. It recorded a mean grain yield of 5.4 t/ha and straw yield of 9.0 t/ha. It is semidwart (96 cm) with medium bold grain and red rice which matures in 100 days. Early senescence at maturity is a distinguishing character for this variety. This variety is also specifically suitable to tail end areas of Thambiraparani delta and Kanyakumari district for direct seeding and planting because of its short duration.

Chemical components like total chlorophyll, chlorophyll 'a' Chlorophyll 'b' reducing sugar, non reducing sugar and total sugar in relation to charcoal rot disease across three seasons were estimated and compared in each of the two proven resistant and susceptible sorghum cultivars. It was observed that the lower concentrations of total chlorophyll, chlorophyll 'b' and higher concentration of chlorophyll 'a', reducing sugar, non reducing sugar and total sugars were associated with resistance reaction to charcoal rot whereas the reverse trend was observed in the susceptible cultivars. The relative magnitude of concentrations of chlorophyll 'a', chlorophyll 'b' and total chlorophyll were higher during summer, whereas reducing sugar, non reducing sugar and total sugars were higher in Kharif for all the cultivars. It is further projected that the higher concentrations of chlorophyll 'a', reducing sugar, non reducing sugar and total sugars may be utilised as possible indices to screen sorghum genotypes against charcoal rot disease.

A field experiment was conducted to find out the differential response of potassium in three rice varieties. The varieties differed in their parental composition. "Kannaki' which has 'IR 8" as female parent showed highest response in terms of increased productive tillers, panicle length, total number of grains per panicle, and 1000-grain weight which, in turn produced highest yield of grain. The Grain-Straw ratio and Harvest index also found to be maximum in 'Kannaki'. The increased response of "Kannaki' to applied potassium is attributed to its female parent 'IR 8'..
