Abstract

Diseases in apple crops are a significant problem in agriculture, causing major economic losses. Early identification of diseases is essential to prevent further spread and severe damage. Image processing techniques have become a promising tool for faster and more accurate disease detection compared to conventional methods. This research aims to identify diseases in apple fruits using advanced image processing techniques, focusing on improving accuracy and efficiency to support timely and effective control measures. The research encompasses four main stages in image processing: Enlarge, Pre-Processing, Enhancement, and Convolution. The Enlarge stage magnifies the image to detect details of the infected area. Pre-Processing reduces noise, removes irrelevant background, and normalizes image intensity. The Enhancement stage improves contrast and clarity of the disease-affected apple image, facilitating easier detection. The Convolution stage employs a convolution filter to highlight patterns or disease signatures difficult to recognize manually. A dataset of images of apples infected with different diseases was used to validate and test the method. The proposed method demonstrated a 15% increase in accuracy and a 20% reduction in detection time compared to conventional methods. This technique has proven effective in enhancing detection accuracy and efficiency, showing great potential for integration into automated plant health monitoring systems.

Abstract

Pain is a sensitive indicator in the nursing process, so assessment and pain management are the key factors to determining the quality of care and patient satisfaction, especially in critical care areas. The poor handling of pain can have a negative impact on critical patients. Pain management is influenced by internal factors and external factors. Internal factors are knowledge and attitudes while external factors are factors of organizational support and professional authority. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the implementation of pain management. This study is a quantitative study with an analytic correlation design. The total sample of 84 nurses was taken using the total sampling technique. Data were collected using five questionnaires, namely Regarding Pain Knowledge and Attitudes Survey questionnaire, Perceived Organizational Support, Nursing Autonomy, and Current Practice Related to Pain Assessment and Pain Management. The results showed that the implementation of pain management was quite optimal (51.2%), factors related to the value (p <0.005), The dominant factors contribution score (35.7% for knowledge). The implementation of pain management is quite optimal, but there are some obstacles related to the implementation of pain management including knowledge, attitudes, and professional authority. Nurses are expected to increase their knowledge and competence through education and training to maintain the quality of the implementation of pain management.

Abstract

The weaning period is critical as it marks the transition from breastfeeding to solid foods, during which infants are particularly susceptible to nutritional disorders. The optimal weaning age is generally around two years, as breastfeeding until this age significantly supports a child's growth. Factors influencing weaning include parental education, economic status, parental employment, and the age of weaning. The timing of weaning is related to nutritional status since a child's diet shifts from exclusively breast milk to a combination of breast milk and solid foods, with increased energy and nutritional needs. This study investigates the relationship between weaning age and nutritional status in children aged 6-24 months at Puskesmas Cinambo, Bandung City. Employing a cross-sectional analytical design, the population includes mothers of children in this age range, totaling 534 respondents. Accidental sampling yielded 118 respondents over one week. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, with significance set at p<0.05. Results indicated that 52.5% of respondents had normal nutritional status, while 47.5% were undernourished. Most weaning ages were found to be inappropriate, with 66.1% weaning before the recommended age of 24 months. The Spearman Rank test revealed a significant relationship (p=0.020), confirming H1. In conclusion, there is a relationship between weaning age and nutritional status in children aged 6-24 months at Puskesmas Cinambo. Health services should provide regular education on appropriate weaning practices to enhance the nutritional status of this age group.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between disease acceptance and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A narrative systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews method, identifying 929 articles from various scientific databases, including PubMed®, ScienceDirect®, Cochrane Library®, and Google Scholar®. The screening and selection process resulted in 19 relevant articles, consisting of a mix of experimental studies and observational studies, that were analyzed to evaluate the impact of disease acceptance on diabetes management and glycemic control in T2DM patients. The review findings show that higher disease acceptance is significantly associated with improved self-management, better glycemic control (with reduced HbA1c levels), and decreased levels of stress and depressive symptoms. Several acceptance-based psychological interventions, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and group education programs, were found effective in enhancing disease acceptance. These interventions also help patients achieve optimal glycemic control. These findings emphasize the importance of applying psychological approaches in the management of T2DM to support more comprehensive and sustainable disease care, ultimately improving the quality of life for T2DM patients

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is one of the immersive breakthroughs of rapidly growing technology. This VR technology, offers a 3-dimensional virtual environment to users while enabling interaction with this environment in various ways. VR can be seen in various sectors, including mental health care. Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) has been established as an innovative approach for treating psychiatric disorders like social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic disorder, phobias, and other disorders (psychosis, functional neurological disorder (FND), and neuropsychological disorders) by offering individuals more controlled, interactive virtual environments that simulate triggering situations. In this review, the role of VR as a psychiatric treatment is explored. In total 50 articles were reviewed and reported in the study. Although the findings are promising, some limitations and challenges are detected. One of the concerns is relapse rates; no detailed studies are addressing it. In addition, in studies, cybersickness is reported, which can cause dizziness, nausea, and headache. In conclusion, while studies support VRET’s effectiveness, it is necessary to investigate further its long-term effects. Future studies should concentrate on conducting larger clinical trials and incorporating VR into standard therapeutic practices to fully harness its potential in treating mental health issues.

Abstract

Halodoc is one of the leading mobile health (mHealth) applications in Indonesia, offering services such as online doctor consultations, medicine delivery, and health information. This study examines the factors influencing user acceptance of the Halodoc app, focusing on the roles of user experience and satisfaction. The research involved a survey of 81 Halodoc users, followed by validity and reliability testing of the research instruments. Results showed that most items had high validity, with correlation values ranging from 0.775 to 0.851 for user acceptance, and above 0.75 for user experience (except one item). Reliability was also high, with Cronbach’s Alpha values exceeding 0.8 across categories. The highest average score was found in user satisfaction (21.77), indicating consistently high levels of satisfaction. Significant correlations were observed among user acceptance, user experience, service quality, and user satisfaction—most notably between user acceptance and satisfaction (0.8314). Regression analysis identified user experience and satisfaction as significant predictors of user acceptance, accounting for 74.4% of the variance. In contrast, service quality did not show a significant effect. The final regression model after stepwise elimination confirmed the strong influence of user experience (coefficient = 0.3513) and satisfaction (coefficient = 0.4399). These findings highlight the importance of enhancing user experience and satisfaction to increase user acceptance of mHealth applications like Halodoc.

Abstract

Salmon DNA, particularly its polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) content, has attracted attention in dermatology due to its potential in skin regeneration and anti-aging applications. This review aims to summarize various research findings on the effectiveness of PDRN. The study was conducted through a literature review of articles published between 2016 and 2023. Findings indicate that PDRN works by activating adenosine A2a receptors, stimulating angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and reducing inflammation. Its combination with vitamin C and niacinamide enhances antioxidant effects and helps preserve the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, the use of long-chain polynucleotide fillers has been shown to significantly improve pore size, skin texture, wrinkles, and sagging, with minimal side effects. In conclusion, PDRN from salmon DNA is a promising bioactive agent for skin rejuvenation, wound healing, and anti-aging therapy in modern dermatological practice.

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea and anemia are common issues affecting adolescent girls, often requiring effective yet accessible non-pharmacological interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of omega-3 and iron (Fe) content in canned sardines in reducing menstrual pain and improving hemoglobin levels. A quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized pre-test and post-test control group was employed. The participants were 34 adolescent girls from SMK Bhakti Kencana Tasikmalaya experiencing dysmenorrhea, divided equally into intervention and control groups. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and hemoglobin levels were assessed using the Quick Check Set Hemoglobin Testing System. The intervention group consumed canned sardines for three consecutive days prior to the onset of dysmenorrhea, while the control group received conventional health education without any dietary intervention. The results showed no significant changes in pain or hemoglobin levels in the control group, while the intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in both outcomes. These findings suggest that the omega-3 and iron content in canned sardines is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain and increasing hemoglobin levels, thereby helping to prevent anemia in adolescent girls.

Abstract

Skin diseases such as dermatitis, psoriasis, and tinea often exhibit similar visual characteristics, which can lead to frequent errors in early diagnosis. Accurate diagnosis is critical, as each disease requires different treatment approaches. This study aims to develop an automated classification model for these three skin diseases using a deep learning approach based on the DenseNet-121 architecture, which consists of 121 layers designed to facilitate efficient feature reuse and gradient flow. The dataset consists of 300 labeled images, evenly distributed among the three disease classes. To enhance model generalization, preprocessing steps were applied, including data normalization and augmentation techniques such as image rotation (±20°), horizontal and vertical flipping, random zooming (range 0.8-1.2×), and brightness adjustment (±20%). The model was trained and validated using a stratified 5-fold cross-validation strategy. Experimental results demonstrated an overall classification accuracy of 94.59%, with high precision and recall scores across all classes. These results indicate the potential of using DenseNet-based deep learning models as decision support tools for early skin disease diagnosis. Further validation with larger datasets and clinical input from dermatologists is recommended to ensure reliability in real-world healthcare settings. Visual comparison through Grad-CAM heatmaps was also conducted to enhance interpretability and validate model focus on relevant skin features.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of psychiatric disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder has drawn attention to the need for more efficient and accurate diagnostic tools. In this context, machine learning offers promising solutions by enabling the analysis of complex and high-dimensional data. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of ML models applied to various psychiatric disorders by comparing the effectiveness of different data types such as EEG, MRI, video and audio recordings, photographs, survey responses, and clinical data. A total of 44 scientific studies published between 2015 and 2024 were systematically reviewed in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The studies included applied ML or deep learning models to adult participants. The results show that the most successful data types varied by disorder. In conclusion, the choice of data type significantly influences the performance of ML models in psychiatric diagnosis. EEG, survey, and clinical data emerged as the most reliable across different conditions, while SVM, Random Forest, and CNN-based models provided the best classification results. These findings offer a valuable reference point for future research and the development of AI-assisted diagnostic tools.
