The Logistic Regression Model (LRM) is successful in many fields due to its capability of predicting and describing the relationship between binary response variables and one or more independent variables. However, the prediction results of this model are still not accurate enough due to error terms, regardless of their existence in the model. To overcome this problem and, at the same time, produce more accurate and efficient predictive model values, the bootstrap approach was proposed. Unfortunately, this approach did not receive any attention, especially for this model. This study aims to introduce the bootstrap approach to LRM and investigate the performance of the proposed models using data on wound healing using jellyfish collagen. The results revealed that the proposed model generated smaller values of MSE and RMSE, as well as shorter confidence intervals, compared with the existing LRM. These results proved that the proposed model could produce an estimated value that is more accurate and efficient than those of the LRM. The results warrant a proper ecosystem management for the perpetual medicinal use and conservation of jellyfish, which is also related to the productive resources and services target by 2030 for SDG 14 involving marine life.
Information on fisheries resources in East Malaysia is scarce and poorly known. The current review aims to compile a checklist of fisheries resources in the Northwest Borneo (Sarawak, Malaysia) from available published literature, address the resources' present status, and suggest future monitoring needs for selected critical species. The study also aims to determine several Sarawak land-use issues that are in flux and responsible for habitat degradation. Five hundred sixty-four species belonging to 123 families and 32 orders were recorded from Sarawak waters. Freshwater fish species comprised 48.0% of the total, followed by a marine (36.6%), marine-euryhaline (12.9%), and brackish water (2.5%) species. Of this, Cyprinidae was the most dominant group accounting for the greatest number of species (82 species), followed by Balitoridae (34 species), Bagridae (21 species) and Penaeidae (21 species). Therefore, available fisheries resources should be managed carefully as 48 species (9.0%) are currently vulnerable to extinction. Furthermore, the presence of 20 alien species in Sarawak water bodies also requires attention from the authorities due to the potential disruption of aquatic ecological balance. Changing land use issues in Sarawak such as forest degradation, agricultural expansion, peatland deforestation and conversion, logging, destruction of mangrove forests, and construction of hydroelectric power dams and flood mitigation channels pose significant challenges to fishery management in Sarawak. Our study documents the priority of fishery monitoring and conservation in Sarawak water bodies to ensure sustainable management of fisheries resources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
