Abstract

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.

Pragmatic patchwork ethnography, a call to action for health, nutrition and dietetic researchers

“…Ethnography is an arm of anthropological research that encompasses cross‐cultural deployment, falling into three main categories: participant observation, systematic observation and interview methods 2 . This approach is based on interpreting an event, or characteristics of a participant cohort, through the experience of living within that community and from the perspective of the cohort community 3 . The ethnographer focuses on deep‐rooted traditions of face‐to‐face interaction as an insider, to describe and interpret community beliefs, actions and cultural mechanisms.…”

Sustainability Communication in Hotels: The Role of Cognitive Linguistics

“…Considering the competitive advantage for tourism businesses when implementing sustainability strategies (Bianco et al, 2023) and the growing number of consumers highlighting a lack of transparency in hotels' environmental claims as a barrier to taking sustainable action (Tetrapak.com, 2021), efficiently communicating sustainability initiatives is critical to generating positive attitudes and pro-environmental behavior in hotel consumers, since investment in sustainability strategies will remain undetected if not transparently and persuasively communicated to guests (Kapoor et al, 2021). Drawing on cognitive linguistic theory (Cornelissen et al, 2015), this study offered new insights into the combined effect of language design elements that identify connectives and prepositional phrases with message content as essential grounding components of persuasion.…”

Genetics, structure, transmission, epidemiology, immune response, and vaccine efficacies of the SARS‐CoV‐2 Delta variant: A comprehensive review

“…Variant‐specific data also demonstrate that mRNA and ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19 vaccines provide >90% protection against severe illness, while Ad26.COV2.S provides 71% protection. The vaccine efficacies of each vaccine against hospitalisation or severe illness from the Delta variant are shown in Table 3 58,59,61–64 …”
