Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a health problem of global concern, considering that most cases are only identified when complications arise. Therefore, early detection is essential in controlling the health and financial consequences of the disease. The purpose of this study is to compare two machine learning models using gradient boosting techniques, namely Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM). This study use a technique called RandomizedSearchCV to optimize the performance of the proposed machine learning models. In evaluating the machine learning models, the study used a variety of metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and ROC-AUC. The LightGBM is a more efficient machine learning model than XGBoost based on the result. The LightGBM model had a classification accuracy of 77.3%, a precision of 71.1%, and a recall of 59.3%, which is the same value obtained by the XGBoost model. However, the LightGBM model had a higher F1 score of 64.6% and a ROC-AUC of 83.0% which indicates that the model is more balanced and can accurately classify and distinguish between the two classes. The best-performing machine learning model was integrated with a web-based system using a framework called Streamlit to create a system that is responsive, interactive, and user-friendly. The system is useful for early detection of diabetes mellitus and can be used by non-experts to determine whether a patient is at risk of developing the disease using real-time prediction and user-friendly data input. The results of the study showed that gradient boosting machine learning models can be used to diagnose and detect early cases of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Phenolic synthetic tanning agents (syntans) are widely used in the leather industry due to their controllable properties and consistent performance. This study aims to investigate the effect of phenol– formaldehyde molar ratio on the physicochemical properties of syntans synthesized via sulfonation. The syntans were prepared using various molar ratios (0:1, 0.5:1, 1:1, 1.5:1, 1:0.5, and 1:0) throughcondensation followed by sulfonation. The products were characterized in terms of pH, specific gravity, viscosity, degree of sulfonation (DS), and functional groups using FTIR spectroscopy. The results show that increasing phenol or formaldehyde concentration led to higher specific gravity and viscosity, indicating increased polymerization. The pH values ranged around ~4, confirming suitability for leather processing. The DS decreased with increasing phenol or formaldehyde concentration, suggesting competition between polymerization and sulfonation reactions. The optimal molar ratio (1:1) produced the most homogeneous and stable syntan system. The pH values of all syntans were consistently around ~4, indicating suitability for leather processing. Increasing phenol or formaldehyde concentration resulted in higher viscosity and specific gravity, while the degree of sulfonation decreased significantly, confirming the trade-off between polymerization and sulfonation reactions. In conclusion, the phenol–formaldehyde molar ratio significantly influences syntan properties by controlling the balance between polymerization and sulfonation. These findings provide a scientific basis for optimizing syntan formulation and improving efficiency in sustainable leather processing.

Abstract

This study aimed to isolate and characterize Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) from broccoli (Brassica oleracea L.) with potential protease-producing activity and probiotic properties. Fermentation was carried out using Lactobacillus plantarum as a starter culture. The obtained LAB isolates were subsequently evaluated for protease activity and analyzed for bioactive compound content. The results demonstrated that LAB isolates obtained from broccoli were capable of producing proteases with significant activity, indicating their potential for biotechnological applications. In addition, the isolates produced bioactive compounds exhibiting antibacterial activity against several pathogenic bacteria, including S. epidermidis, K. pneumoniae, E. coli, S. aureus, S. typhi, and S. pyogenes, as evidenced by the formation of inhibition zones. The isolate demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against all tested pathogens with inhibition zones of 56 mm for S. epidermidis, 30 mm for S. typhi, 12 mm for both K. pneumoniae and E. coli, and 11 mm for S. pyogenes and S. aureus. Acid tolerance assays demonstrated that the LAB isolates survived at low pH, and protease activity assays showed that the isolate produced an enzyme with proteolytic activity of 23.5 mm and 0.0440 U/mL.
