Journal of Computing Theories and Applications 2025 Universitas Dian Nuswantoro

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that presents significant diagnostic challenges due to its heterogeneous clinical manifestations and symptom overlap with other neurological conditions. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for initiating timely interventions and improving patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic approaches rely heavily on clinical expertise and manual interpretation of neuroimaging data, such as structural MRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), and functional MRI (fMRI), which are inherently time-consuming and prone to interobserver variability. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) have demonstrated potential for automating neuroimaging analysis, yet existing models often suffer from limited generalizability across modalities and datasets. To address these limitations, we propose a Transformer-augmented deep learning ensemble framework for automated ALS diagnosis using multi-modal neuroimaging data. The proposed architecture integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Vision Transformers (ViTs) to leverage the complementary strengths of spatial, temporal, and global contextual feature representations. An adaptive weighting-based fusion mechanism dynamically integrates modality-specific outputs, enhancing the robustness and reliability of the final diagnosis. Comprehensive preprocessing steps, including intensity normalization, motion correction, and modality-specific data augmentation, are employed to ensure cross-modality consistency. Evaluation using 5-fold cross-validation on a curated multi-modal ALS neuroimaging dataset demon-strates the superior performance of the proposed model, achieving a mean classification accuracy of 94.5% ± 0.7%, precision of 93.9% ± 0.8%, recall of 92.9% ± 0.9%, F1-score of 93.4% ± 0.7%, spec-ificity of 97.4% ± 0.6%, and AUC-ROC of 0.968 ± 0.004. These results significantly outperform baseline CNN models and highlight the potential of transformer-augmented ensembles in complex neurodiagnostic applications. This framework offers a promising tool for clinicians, supporting early and precise ALS detection and enabling more personalized and effective patient management strategies.

Earnings management is an action that can affect the quality of a company's financial information. As the highest leader, the CEO plays a critical role in strategic decision-making, including in earnings management practices. This study aims to examine the influence of CEO characteristics—namely age, education level, and tenure—on earnings management in food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019–2023 period. A quantitative approach is employed using secondary data from annual reports of 21 companies, with a total of 99 firm-year observations. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with leverage, profitability, and sales growth as control variables. The results show that CEO age has a negative effect on earnings management, CEO tenure has a positive effect, while CEO education level shows no significant effect. These findings indicate that the personal characteristics of CEOs influence a company’s tendency to engage in earnings management. This study provides insights for investors, management, and regulators to consider CEO attributes when assessing the risk of financial reporting manipulation.

This study aims to analyze the role of company size as a moderator variable in the relationship between profitability and leverage and sales growth in manufacturing companies in the basic industry and chemical sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020–2023 period. The research method used is a quantitative approach with purposive sampling techniques, so that 56 sample data that meet the research criteria are obtained. Data analysis was carried out using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the help of SPSS software version 30. The results show that leverage does not have a significant effect on profitability, while sales growth is proven to have a significant effect on profitability. Furthermore, company size has not been shown to moderate the relationship between leverage and profitability, but it does play a significant role in moderating the relationship between sales growth and profitability. These findings support the Pecking Order theory, which emphasizes that companies with larger sizes tend to have wider access to funding so that they are able to strengthen the influence of sales growth on profitability. This research provides a theoretical contribution in enriching the literature on factors that affect profitability, as well as a practical contribution to company management in formulating more effective financial and growth strategies. Thus, the size of the company proves to be an important factor to consider in the analysis of financial performance, particularly in the context of the relationship between sales growth and profitability.

The study try to explain the influence of perceived ease of use, perceived security, and social influence on consumer interest in adopting the QRIS as a digital payment method in Bandar Lampung. The rapid growth of digital transactions and the shift toward non-cash payments highlight the importance of understanding the factors that encourage consumer adoption of QRIS. A quantitative approach was employed, collecting primary data from 222 respondents through structured questionnaires distributed in various retail and public settings. The data were measured with Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression to measure the strength and significance of the variable’s relationships. The findings indicate that all three factors significantly influence consumer interest, with social influence showing the strongest effect, followed by perceived security and perceived ease of use. The results suggest that social norms, trust in transaction security, and ease of interaction with the system are critical in motivating consumers to adopt QRIS. These insights provide practical implications for service providers, policymakers, and merchants to enhance digital payment adoption by focusing on user-friendly designs, robust security measures, and strategies that leverage social influence to encourage broader usage.

This study aims to analyze the differences in financial performance between PT Ciputra Development Tbk (CTRA) and PT Pakuwon Jati Tbk (PWON) during 2019–2023 based on liquidity, profitability, solvency, and dividend policy ratios. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-comparative method was employed. The study utilized secondary data obtained from the annual financial reports of both companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Financial ratios were analyzed, including the Current Ratio (CR), Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR). Data normality and homogeneity tests were conducted, followed by Independent Sample t-Test and Mann–Whitney U test using SPSS version 26 to identify statistical differences. The results indicate no significant differences between CTRA and PWON in CR, ROA, and DPR, but a significant difference in DER, where CTRA shows higher leverage compared to PWON. These findings suggest that the key distinction between the two companies lies in their capital structure rather than profitability or dividend policy, reflecting different financial management strategies within Indonesia’s property sector.

This study aims to examine the effect of financial ratios on financial distress in transportation and logistics sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2024 period. The research employed a documentation method by collecting secondary data from the companies’ financial statements within the observed period. The financial ratios analyzed include profitability, liquidity, leverage, and activity. The level of financial distress was measured using the Altman Z-Score method. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, consisting of 22 companies observed over six years. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the assistance of EViews 12, with the selected model being the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The partial test results indicate that profitability, liquidity, leverage, and activity ratios do not have a significant effect on financial distress. However, the simultaneous test results show that the four variables together significantly affect financial distress. These findings suggest that financial ratios cannot serve as a single indicator in assessing a company’s financial distress. Nevertheless, when used collectively and combined with the Altman Z-Score measurement, they can provide a more accurate assessment of a company’s financial distress condition.

The rapid expansion of digital platforms in higher education has paved the way for Virtual Exchange (VE) as a viable alternative to traditional student mobility programs. VE leverages online technologies to connect university students from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds, enabling cross-cultural communication and global collaboration without the financial and geographical barriers associated with physical exchanges. Despite its potential, challenges remain regarding student engagement, technological limitations, and reduced immersion compared to face-to-face interactions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of VE in fostering intercultural awareness and teamwork skills among university students. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys to measure intercultural competence and collaboration with qualitative interviews to explore students’ experiences in depth. The findings indicate that VE contributes significantly to the development of intercultural understanding, digital literacy, and teamwork, with students reporting enhanced awareness of cultural diversity and improved adaptability in online collaboration. Visual and statistical analyses highlight clear patterns in how VE facilitates skill development, while qualitative data emphasize both the benefits and obstacles students encounter, such as managing time zone differences and cultural nuances. The study concludes that VE represents an inclusive and scalable educational approach that complements traditional exchange programs, offering broader access to global learning opportunities while addressing issues of equity and accessibility. However, its limitations suggest that VE should be integrated strategically, potentially through hybrid models that balance virtual and physical mobility to maximize its impact.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, liquidity, leverage, and company growth on company value in the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020–2024. The research data was obtained from financial reports and annual reports published officially and publicly by the companies. The research population consists of food and beverage companies listed on the IDX. Using purposive sampling, 56 companies that met the criteria were selected, resulting in 280 observations collected over five years of observation. The data analysis technique used multiple linear regression with the help of the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 22 program. This method was used to test the effect of independent variables consisting of profitability, liquidity, leverage, and company growth on the dependent variable in the form of company value measured by Price to Book Value (PBV) as a market indicator. The results showed that profitability, leverage, and company growth did not affect company value. This indicates that profit performance, funding structure, and asset growth are not dominant factors influencing investor decisions in assessing companies in the food and beverage sub-sector. Conversely, liquidity proved to have a positive and significant effect on company value. This condition shows that the higher a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations, the greater the level of investor confidence that drives a consistent increase in company value. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that liquidity is an important aspect that must be considered in efforts to maintain stability, increase company value, and attract investor attention, while profitability, leverage, and company growth were not proven to have a significant effect on the food and beverage sub-sector during the research period.

This study investigates the determinants of cash holdings in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2018–2022. Cash holdings play a crucial role in ensuring company liquidity and financial flexibility, especially in industries that require large investments such as the energy sector. The study employs secondary data obtained from annual financial reports of the sampled companies, accessed through official company websites and the IDX portal. A quantitative research approach is used with multiple linear regression analysis to test the effect of several independent variables on cash holdings. The variables examined include firm size, leverage, growth opportunity, profitability, net working capital, capital expenditure, and cash flow. The findings reveal that firm size and leverage both have a negative and significant effect on cash holdings, indicating that larger firms and those with higher debt levels tend to maintain lower levels of cash. Net working capital and capital expenditure are also found to negatively affect cash holdings, suggesting that higher investments in working capital and assets reduce the need for holding large cash reserves. Conversely, cash flow demonstrates a positive effect, highlighting that firms with stronger cash inflows are likely to hold more cash. Growth opportunity and profitability show no significant effect on cash holdings.

This study aims to examine the effect of Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Assets Ratio (DAR), and Total Assets on Audit Delay in food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. Audit Delay is defined as the time interval between the end of the fiscal year and the issuance date of audited financial statements by independent auditors. The timeliness of financial reporting is a crucial element for stakeholders in evaluating company performance, enhancing transparency, and supporting decision-making processes. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence audit delay is important in the context of both regulatory compliance and corporate governance. This research adopts a quantitative methodology using multiple linear regression analysis. The data used are secondary data obtained from annual financial reports published and accessible through the official IDX website. The study sample consists of 33 companies, resulting in 165 observations. After conducting outlier analysis, the final dataset comprised 83 observations. Data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22. The results show that Return on Assets and Total Assets do not have a significant effect on Audit Delay. This indicates that profitability and company size are not the main determinants of audit timeliness in this sector. However, the Debt to Assets Ratio was found to have a relatively positive effect on Audit Delay. This finding suggests that companies with higher leverage tend to be audited more quickly, possibly because auditors and stakeholders pay greater attention to firms with higher financial risk. Thus, a company’s capital structure plays an important role in influencing the timeliness of audit completion.
