Skin cancer (SC) is a highly serious kind of cancer that, if not addressed swiftly, might result in the patient’s demise. Early detection of this condition allows for more effective therapy and prevents disease development. Deep Learning (DL) approaches may be used as an effective and efficient tool for SC detection (SCD). Several DL-based algorithms for automated SCD have been reported. However, more efficient models are needed to improve accuracy. As a result, this paper introduces a new strategy for SCD based on Grey Wolf optimization (GWO) methodologies and CNN. The proposed methodology has four stages: preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. The proposed method utilizes a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to extract features from Regions of Interest (ROIs). CNN is employed for feature categorization, whereas the GWO approach enhances accuracy by refining edge detection and segmentation. This technique utilizes a probabilistic model to accelerate the convergence of the GWO algorithm. Employing the GWO model to optimize the structure and weight vectors of CNNs can enhance diagnostic accuracy by a minimum of 5%, based on evaluation outcomes. The application of the proposed strategy and its performance comparison with other methods indicate that the proposed method with GWO predicted SC with an average accuracy of 95.11% and without GWO an Accuracy of 92.66%, respectively, enhancing accuracy by a minimum of 2.5% when we train our model with GWO.

Shallots (Allium ascalonicum) are a popular spice vegetable cultivated in Indonesia, ranging from lowlands to highlands. Their demand continues to grow as they are an essential kitchen commodity, although their prices often fluctuate. This research aimed to examine the disease symptoms in shallot plants caused by pathogenic fungi and to identify the types of pathogenic fungi present on agricultural land in Bangsalan Village, Boyolali Regency. The study consisted of three blocks, each containing 12 plots, and each plot comprising 15 plants. From each plot, five plants were randomly selected as samples. This qualitative research utilized observational and descriptive methods, where symptoms observed in the field were described and identified based on macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. Macroscopic identification revealed symptoms such as wilting, rot, and spots on both leaves and tubers. Microscopic identification confirmed infections by the fungi Colletotrichum sp. (causing anthracnose), Fusarium spp., and Aspergillus sp. on shallots. The findings from this study provide valuable recommendations for managing shallot diseases in subsequent planting seasons if similar symptoms are observed.

Islamic banking in Indonesia is expected to play a significant role in addressing social welfare, as envisioned by the principles of Maqasid Sharia. However, there remains an ongoing disparity between its financial achievements and societal contributions. While the industry has shown considerable progress in profitability, its broader societal objectives, such as promoting falah—a holistic state of community well-being—remain insufficiently realized. This study examines the extent to which Islamic banking organizations in Indonesia have achieved their societal objectives, focusing on their alignment with the principles of Maqasid Sharia and the pursuit of falah. Despite its financial success, previous research highlights the persistent challenges Islamic banks face in fully realizing their intended societal impact. The adoption of the Islamic Social Banking (ISB) framework is proposed as a viable solution to bridge this gap. This framework provides a targeted strategy for aligning financial operations with social welfare goals. By adopting ISB, Islamic banks can balance profitability with delivering tangible benefits to society, ensuring alignment with Islamic values. This study further underscores the policy implications for regulators of Sharia banking in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for updated legislation and incentives to promote socially responsible practices. These measures can enhance customer trust, support industry initiatives, and foster sustainable development. By adopting the ISB framework, Islamic banks in Indonesia have the potential to redefine their role in the financial sector, shifting from a profit-centric approach to one that emphasizes societal well-being, ensuring that social welfare remains a central focus of the industry’s growth.
