Urban-Rural Differences In The Association Between Physical Activity And Overweight/Obesity Among Indonesian Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study, Wahyu Wulandari, Mufti As Siddiq M. Irzal, Lady Farah Fatmawati

Jurnal Epidemiologi Kesehatan Indonesia

Adolescent overweight/obesity is an increasing public health concern and contributes to the risk of non-communicable diseases later in life. Physical activity plays an important role in weight regulation. However, its association with overweight/obesity may vary according to residential setting. This study aimed to examine the association between physical activity and overweight/obesity among adolescents living in rural and urban areas of Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey. The study included 115,372 adolescents aged 10–18 years. Physical activity was classified based on total Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET)-minutes per week (≥600 MET-minutes/week), while nutritional …


Addressing Data Scarcity In Malware Classification Via Pixel-Level Synthetic Image Generation, Mounika Krishna Teja Karumudi, Fabio Di Troia Jun 2026

Addressing Data Scarcity In Malware Classification Via Pixel-Level Synthetic Image Generation, Mounika Krishna Teja Karumudi, Fabio Di Troia

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Deep learning-based malware classification using image representations has emerged as a highly effective paradigm for threat detection. However, training robust neural networks is frequently bottlenecked by data scarcity and severe class imbalances in real-world repositories. This study investigates the viability of using an autoregressive PixelCNN framework to synthesize high-fidelity, class-specific malware images to augment limited training distributions. Utilizing the benchmark Malimg dataset, we systematically evaluate a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier across varying ratios of synthetic-to-authentic data under strict data scarcity constraints (ranging from 10 to 80 authentic samples per family). Our experimental results reveal that while PixelCNN successfully replicates …

Folia Medica Indonesiana

Static and dynamic balance are vital for performance and injury prevention in roller skate athletes. While proprioceptive and strengthening exercises are extensively used, evidence of their combined impact in young athletes is rare. This study evaluated the effects of an eight-week proprioceptive and strengthening program on postural and lower-limb balance parameters in roller skaters aged 11–15 years. The study randomly assigned 30 athletes to an intervention group (n=15) or a control group (n=15). The intervention group trained three times per week with structured exercises, while the control group continued routine skating and endurance activities. Balance outcomes were assessed using the …

Folia Medica Indonesiana

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, commonly characterized by elevated luteinizing hormone (LH) and decreased follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels. These hormonal imbalances impair folliculogenesis and ovulation, often resulting in infertility. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Biophytum petersianum (Kebar leaf) extract on LH levels and ovarian follicle development in a testosterone propionate-induced rat model of PCOS. A total of 30 adult female white rats (Rattus norvegicus) were randomly assigned to five groups: a negative control (K–), a positive control with PCOS induction (K+), and …

This research aimed to analogize the resistance patterns against carbapenem antibiotics in Enterobacterales uropathogens between two healthcare facilities. The authors performed this study at the Basic Medical Sciences Institute, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, and the National Medical Center. A total of 374 UTI patients were enrolled, equally distributed in the two centers (187 each hospital). Molecular assays supplemented phenotypic susceptibility testing to detect carbapenem resistance. Statistical analysis, including multivariate logistic regression, was performed to identify associations between hospital type and carbapenem resistance. Of 374 urine samples, CA-UTIs were found in 86 (23.1%) and 90 (24%), while HA-UTIs occurred in 101 …

Effectiveness Of Laser Acupuncture Therapy Compared With Nsaids On Pain Reduction And Quality Of Life In Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial, Virgyawan Rizki, Teuku Nanta Aulia, Putri Ade Mueratana, Onarisa Ayu, Muhammad Yusuf

Folia Medica Indonesiana

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of chronic pain and disability, and although NSAIDs are widely used, prolonged therapy may increase the risk of adverse effects. Laser acupuncture has been proposed as a non-invasive option to reduce pain and improve knee-related outcomes. This randomized controlled trial compared laser acupuncture and NSAID therapy in 32 patients with knee OA (Kellgren–Lawrence grade II–III) who were randomized equally to laser acupuncture (n = 16) or NSAIDs (n = 16). The authors assessed pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Meanwhile, we evaluated knee function and knee-related quality of life using the Knee …

Nonparametric Control Charts Estimation Using Hybrid Cyber-Intelligence Algorithms For Stock Market Monitoring, Mariam Jumaah Mousa, Munaf Yousif Hmood Jun 2026

Nonparametric Control Charts Estimation Using Hybrid Cyber-Intelligence Algorithms For Stock Market Monitoring, Mariam Jumaah Mousa, Munaf Yousif Hmood

Journal of Economics and Administrative Sciences

This paper introduces a novel nonparametric hybrid cyber-intelligence-based statistical process control and anomaly detection framework in time series data. It is developed to overcome the shortcomings of the classical control schemes in dealing with complex, abnormal, and noisy input data, especially when it is autocorrelated. The proposed methodology combines three technical pillars: First, it utilizes a bidirectional long-short-term memory architecture (Bi-LSTM) to capture long-term time dependency and learn nonlinear patterns, leaving only true deviations as residuals that remove trends and noises from the market. Second, it adopts the Golden Eagle Optimizer (GEO) algorithm for optimal parameter selection. This intelligent algorithm …
