Abstract

Early detection is critical for improving cancer survival rates, yet the interpretation of diagnostic images is subject to human error and variability. Artificial intelligence (AI), specifically deep learning, presents a transformative opportunity to enhance diagnostic accuracy and speed. This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning model to improve the accuracy and efficiency of early-stage cancer detection in radiological images compared to human expert interpretation. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained and validated on a curated dataset of over 20,000 mammography images. The model's diagnostic performance was rigorously evaluated using key metrics, including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), against a biopsy-verified ground truth. The AI model achieved an overall accuracy of 97.2%, with a sensitivity of 98.1% and a specificity of 96.5%. The model's performance, with an AUC of 0.98, was comparable to that of senior radiologists and significantly reduced false-negative rates. AI-driven deep learning models are highly effective and reliable tools for augmenting diagnostic imaging. They can significantly enhance early cancer detection, reduce diagnostic errors, and serve as a powerful assistive tool for radiologists in clinical practice.

Abstract

The post-Reformasi era in Indonesia since 1998 has witnessed a dynamic resurgence of Islamic politics, featuring a complex landscape of both large moderate civil society organizations and formal Islamist political parties. This study aimed to comparatively analyze the evolution, political strategies, and societal impact of these diverse Islamic movements in Indonesia’s democratic transition. A qualitative research methodology was employed, utilizing a case study approach. Data was gathered through discourse analysis of party manifestos and public statements, as well as in-depth interviews with political and religious leaders. The findings reveal a strategic divergence: Nahdlatul Ulama has largely focused on influencing politics from a civil society perspective, promoting cultural Islam and pluralism. In contrast, Islamist parties have pursued formal state power, often employing identity politics. This has created a continuous negotiation within the public sphere between substantive Islamic values and formalist political agendas. The study concludes that Indonesian Islamic political movements are not monolithic. The enduring influence of moderate mass organizations acts as a crucial counterbalance to the formal political aspirations of Islamist parties, shaping a unique and contested model of Islamic democracy.
