Abstract: Population growth has intensified the nation’s vulnerability to the health impacts of climate change. The demand for water, food, energy, and healthcare services increases as the population increases, placing pressure on natural resources and infrastructure. Climate change resulted in increased prevalence of vector-borne diseases (e.g., dengue and malaria), water- and food-borne infections, respiratory diseases associated with air pollution and haze, and heat-related morbidity and mortality, thus increase the demand for healthcare services. Conclusion, population growth intensifies vulnerability to climate-related health impacts, placing greater demands on public health systems. Strengthening adaption strategies, enhance surveillance system, and intersectoral collaboration is essential to ensure a resilient health system capable of protecting communities in a changing climate.

Item Type: Article
Editor:
Year: 01/10/2022
Abstract: This paper discusses the performance of three machine learning techniques namely Decision Tree, Logistic Regression and Artificial Neural Network for predicting divorce among Malaysian women. Secondary data were obtained from the Fifth Malaysia Population and Family Survey (MPFS-5) conducted by the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN). The total number of instances in the dataset was 7,644 ever married Malaysian women aged 15 to 59 years old. Divorce is currently a serious problem among the Malaysian community due to various reasons. In 2019, the divorce rate in Malaysia rose by 12% from the previous year. During the first three months of the movement Control Order (MCO), i.e. from March 18 to June 18, 2020, the Syariah Court of Malaysia recorded 6,569 divorce cases. Worse, a total of 90,766 divorce cases were recorded from January to October 2020. Among the six predictive methods, The Decision Tree Model (C5.0) was found to be the best model in classifying divorce among Malaysian women. The accuracy of the C5.0 model was 77.96% followed by the Artificial Neural Network (Multi-Layer Perceptron) and Logistic Regression (Forward Stepwise) model (74.68% and 67.89%, respectively). The order of important predictors in predicting divorce among Malaysian women is the wives’ employment status (0.1531) followed by the husbands’ employment status (0.1396), type of marriage (0.1327), race/ethnicity (0.1327), distant relationship (0.1212). the wives’ qualification level (0.1115), age group (0.1053) and religion (0.0998)
