Stunting is a condition where a child's height significantly falls below the average for their age, primarily due to prolonged malnutrition and inadequate nutrient intake. This condition poses long-term challenges, affecting both physical growth and cognitive development. This study focuses on developing a predictive model using the C4.5 Decision Tree algorithm to classify the stunting status of children under five. The dataset comprises nutritional status data of toddlers collected from the Berastagi Health Center. Incorporating attributes such as gender, birth weight and height, age in months, weight, height, and the height-to-age ratio. The model aims to enhance the accuracy of stunting classification to support targeted prevention and treatment strategies. When compared to Naive Bayes, the Decision Tree C4.5 demonstrated superior performance, achieving an F1 score and average accuracy of 86%. This reflects a robust balance between precision and recall, underscoring its reliability in identifying children at risk of stunting. The research highlights the critical role of data-driven methodologies in public health. With its high accuracy, the model serves as a promising tool for healthcare providers, enabling more effective interventions to reduce stunting prevalence and improve nutritional outcomes among children under five years of age.

This study addresses the imperative challenge of enhancing school enrolment in South Africa by investigating the dynamics of mobile learning technologies, internet access, and key socio-economic variables. Spanning 35 years (1998–2022), the research draws from the National Digital and Future Skills Strategy, aiming to provide insights into the factors influencing educational access. Employing an analytical framework that integrates Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL), dynamic ARDL (dynARDL) simulations, and Kernel-based Regularized Least Squares (KRLS) machine learning, the study finds that economic prosperity, as represented by real GDP per capita, positively influences secondary school enrolment. Mobile phone subscribers emerge as a significant driver, emphasizing the transformative potential of digital technologies. Surprisingly, an inverse relationship between internet users and enrolment prompts a reassessment of the role of internet access in education. The dynARDL simulations introduce counterfactual shocks, highlighting the positive impact of a 10% increase in mobile subscribers and the nuanced consequences of changes in internet users. KRLS analysis reinforces the significance of economic indicators, digital technologies, and human development in shaping enrolment. Drawing policy implications, the study advocates targeted investments in digital infrastructure, strategic approaches to internet access optimization, and policies fostering sustainable economic growth.

With the increasing popularity of audio recording devices and recognition technology, audio data is increasingly used in speech recognition, event detection, and biometric authentication. Audio data often contains sensitive information, raising privacy concerns when using artificial intelligence on cloud platforms. Homomorphic encryption (HE) addresses this problem by allowing direct computation on encrypted data without decryption. However, HE has high computational costs, especially for deep learning models, which require many nonlinear operations, such as activation functions. Traditional HE methods have difficulty handling these nonlinear operations, affecting performance and accuracy. To overcome this limitation, we propose optimized polynomial-degree activation functions that enhance the compatibility of HE with deep learning models while maintaining high performance. Experimental results on musical instrument and audioMNIST datasets confirm the effectiveness of our method, highlighting its promising potential for secure audio data processing in various applications.

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is crucial for small-molecule analysis;however, traditional computational methods are limited by incomplete reference libraries and complex data processing. Machine learning (ML) is transforming small-molecule mass spectrometry in three key directions: (a) predicting MS/MS spectra and related physicochemical properties to expand reference libraries, (b) improving spectral matching through automated pattern extraction, and (c) predicting molecular structures of compounds directly from their MS/MS spectra. We review ML approaches for molecular representations [descriptors, simplified molecular-input line-entry (SMILE) strings, and graphs] and MS/MS spectra representations (using binned vectors and peak lists) along with recent advances in spectra prediction, retention time, collision cross sections, and spectral matching. Finally, we discuss ML-integrated workflows for chemical formula identification. By addressing the limitations of current methods for compound identification, these ML approaches can greatly enhance the understanding of biological processes and the development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
