Reviews on the Google Play website are an application's user ratings, which contain users' ratings and comments. Review data describes user sentiment towards the application according to the ratings and comments are given. In practice, there is often a discrepancy between the rating and the comments given, resulting in a biased sentiment, so it is necessary to analyze the review to find out the sentiment contained therein. The Naïve Bayes method and the Support Vector Machine can be one of the methods that are often used to carry out sentiment analysis, because they have a good level of accuracy in the sentiment analysis process. In collecting data from the Google Play site using the Web Scraping technique with the google- play-scraper package from Python. Reviews that are successfully scraped then go through the preprocessing stage so that the data set is more structured. In the next stage, the data set is labeled based on the rating, and given a weight using TF-IDF. After classifying using the Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine methods, then evaluating using the confusion matrix, and validating using K-Fold Cross Validation. Research results using the Naïve Bayes method and Support Vector Machine for sentiment analysis on the Google Play website, the Naïve Bayes method produces 87.82% accuracy, 58.90% precision, 60.08% recall, while the Support Vector Machine method produces 90% accuracy .01% , precision 61.89%, recall 60.18%.

Pada zaman sekarang, sudah semakin banyak masyarakat di Kota Medan yang mulai menaruh ketertarikannya dengan tempat-tempat hunian di gedung yang bertingkat seperti kondominium, salah satunya adalah di The Reiz Condo. Kondominium itu sendiri merupakan bangunan yang terdiri dari beberapa unit yang terpisah dengan kelengkapan fasilitas yang dapat digunakan bersama. Sistem kepemilikan kondominium juga bersifat kepemilikan penuh. Di The Reiz Condo ada salah satu unit studio yaitu unit 1 BR C yang menerapkan tema Modern Kontemporer pada interiornya. Dimulai dari tema modern kontemporer yang memiliki arti gaya desain yang berkarakter rapi, bersih, minimalis, sederhana, tetapi tetap mengikuti kemajuan teknologi pada zamannya. Perlu diketahui bahwa kesan ruangan yang diberikan dari tema modern kontemporer cenderung kalem dan netral dikarenakan warna yang digunakan merupakan warna-warna yang netral dengan sedikit tambahan aksen berwarna lebih mencolok. Tetapi pada unit ini, pilihan warna yang digunakan cenderung terlalu monoton sehingga kurang memiliki kesan yang dapat menarik perhatian para pembeli atau calon penghuninya. Oleh sebab itu, dengan adanya penelitian ini, dapat lebih mudah mengetahui pilihan warna apa saja yang dapat disesuaikan dengan tema Modern Kontemporer yang sudah dipakai. Penilitian ini dilakukan dengan meninjau pemilihan warna pada interior unit 1 BR C serta pengumpulan data-data literature yang berkaitan dengan objek penelitian dan dapat menunjang konsep perancangan proyek.

ABSTRACT
Nowadays, more and more people in the city of Medan are starting to be interested in residential places in high-rise buildings such as condominiums, one of which is The Reiz Condo. The condominium itself is a building consisting of several separate units with complete facilities that can be used together. The condominium ownership system is also full ownership. At The Reiz Condo there is onne studio unit, namely unit 1 BR C which applies a Modern Contemporary theme to its interior. Starting from the contemporary modern theme, which means a design style that has a neat, clean, minimalist, simple character, but still follows technological advances of its time. Please note that the impression of a room given by a modern contemporary theme tends to be calm and neutral because the colors used are neutral colors with a few additional brighter colored accents. However, in this unit, the choice of colors used tends to be too monotonous so it lacks an impression that can attract the attention of buyers or potential residents. Therefore, with this research, it will be easier to find out what color choices can be adapted to the Modern Contemporary theme that has been used. This research was carried out by reviewing the color selection in the interior of unit 1 BR C as well as collecting literature data related to the research object and which can support the project design concept.

The development of settlements can cause land shortages through several mechanisms of population growth and urbanization. The increase in population in an area requires more land for housing and supporting facilities, such as schools, hospitals, and shopping centers. This can lead to an increase in demand for land that exceeds the availability of existing land. The rapid urbanization process often leads to the expansion of cities into suburban or rural areas. This results in the conversion of agricultural land and open space into settlements, which reduces the amount of land available for other uses. However, of course, the development of settlements must still pay attention to land capabilities. This study aims to find directions for the development of residential land in the future by considering land capabilities in Deli Tua District. This study uses a geometric projection method, projection of the number of facility needs using SNI 03-1733-2004 on Procedures for Planning Urban Housing Environments and mapping land capabilities based on Permen PU No. 20 of 2007. The findings of this study are that Deli Tua District will experience a shortage of land for housing development for the next 20 years so that the following alternatives must be carried out, namely Vertical housing development, Housing development outside Deli Tua District and using land with low development capability (SKL) meaning that more technology must be used so that the use of this land is safe for housing and settlement development.

Seit der Inauguration Trumps zum 47. US-Präsidenten zieht Elon Musk mit einem Gefolge aus Tech-Ingenieuren und Führungskräften seiner diversen Firmen durch die Bundesbehörden in Washington und verschafft sich Zugang zu Gebäuden, Daten und Computersystemen. In diesem Prozess positionieren sich Akteure der Big Tech Industrie als Profiteure und als Betreiber einer neuen, technologischen Regierungsinfrastruktur – eingeklinkt über die Zugänge zu Computer- und Bezahlsystemen, die Musk sich gerade verschafft. Diese Entwicklung stellt einen neuen Qualitätssprung im politischen Projekt Trumps dar. Sie ist am besten mit dem Wort Faschismus zu beschreiben.
Merz im (europäischen) Trend?
Authors: Collorio Sara
Published: February 2025

Friedrich Merz‘ Vorschlag, straffällig gewordenen Personen mit doppelter Staatsangehörigkeit die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit abzuerkennen, wurde schnell als verfassungswidrig kritisiert. Eine weit gefasste Regelung, nach der auch Mord, Vergewaltigung oder gar allgemein wiederholt begangene Straftaten zu einem Verlust der deutschen Staatsangehörigkeit führen, würde Deutschlands völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtungen verletzen. Mit einer enger gefassten Ausbürgerungsregel etwa für nur bestimmte staatsgefährdende Straftaten stünde Deutschland allerdings in Europa durchaus nicht alleine da.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: Describe the causes of sepsis and antibiotic resistance of isolated bacteria in patients with sepsis treated at the Department of Tropical Diseases - Thai Nguyen National Hospital (2020 - 2023).Subjects and method: Study on 114 patients diagnosed with sepsis treated at the Department of Tropical Diseases at Thai Nguyen National Hospital in Viet Nam from January 1, 2020 to August 16, 2023. Descriptive, retrospective study. Results and conclusions: A our specific study conducted 114 patients with sepsis at Thai Nguyen National Hospital in Vietnam. Here's a summary of the key points: Gram-negative bacteria, especially Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, were found to be the most common causative agents of sepsis in our study.Staphylococcus aureus was the most common Gram-positive bacterium. Empiric antibiotic treatment ofteninvolves combinations of antibiotics to cover a broad range of potential pathogens. Cephalosporins and penicillins were commonly prescribed, with carbapenems also used. The data on the duration of antibiotictreatment indicates that a significant percentage of patients received antibiotics for 10 - 15 days, andsome were on antibiotics for over 15 days. The duration of antibiotic treatment should be individualized,considering various factors like the patient's condition, type of infection, and diagnostic tools available.Reducing the duration of antibiotic treatment is suggested as an effective strategy to combat antibioticresistance. These information are valuable for improving sepsis management and antibiotic prescribing practices in our hospital.

Published: February 2025

Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer death worldwide, with most patients dying from distant metastases, has become increasingly complex in achieving effective treatment. In lung cancer, particularly in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EGFR, ALK, RET, ROS1, BRAF, KRAS, NRAS, NTRK, PIK3CA,DDR2, MET, and ERBB2 have been reported as key oncogenic drivers, which have led to the development and application of targeted therapeutic drugs aimed at these dysfunctional genes. Personalized medicine based on these oncogenic drivers offers the greatest potential benefit in the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC patients. In particular, personalized medicine is importantly recommended for the treatment of advanced NSCLC. Here, we briefly summarize the significant application of personalized medicine based on key oncogenic drivers for the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC with targeted therapeutic drugs, both globally and Vietnam.

Unlocking Middle Corridor's Potential for Georgia: A Study Based on Stakeholders' Interviews
Authors: Gugushvili Tamar
Published: February 2025

The Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TTIR; Middle Corridor (MC)) presents significant potential, as it may evolve into a reliable and competitive route compared to traditional routes and contribute to substantial economic development and trade facilitation. The present research aims to realize the tangible benefits of MC to Georgia from the perspective of Georgian stakeholders, identify gaps and areas for improvement, and transcend the mere transit economy status. This research was conducted through consultations with stakeholders, including logistics companies, ports, rail, and state entities, all of which possess extensive experience in MC. Research shows that Georgia's strategic location, a key transit point between Asia and Europe, plays a crucial role in the MC and can further strengthen its geopolitical position. MC offers Georgia unique economic growth opportunities, benefiting from increased trade flows and potential investments in infrastructure. This research identifies the challenges facing MC, which extend beyond Georgia's control, necessitating active participation from all countries along the route to uniformly develop infrastructure. Success depends on comprehensive coordination among parties, complete digitalization of the corridor, and a transparent pricing structure. This research describes the various initiatives taken by Georgia. Such initiatives include active engagement in digital projects led by the World Bank, UN, TRACECA, CAREC, and the construction of a deep-sea port in Anaklia, among others.
Being young and resilient in times of AI, disasters, and crises
Authors: Mitrović Veselin
Published: February 2025

Disasters, crises, and resilience are interconnected with a general comprehension of “normality” or everyday routine disrupted by sudden and adverse events. However, some inconsistencies in the above interpretation induce an epistemological and existential crisis. First, the everyday life of some disadvantaged groups can be described as catastrophic and miserable whether the general community recognizes it or not. Nevertheless, some of the usually resilient groups could become future icons of the new risk, particularly AI hazards. Second, disasters are, by definition, sudden events with identified timeframes, while crises can be long-lasting with the tendency to become omnipresent. Third, when compared with earlier assertions, particular groups may undergo a long-lasting and gradual crisis that diminishes their capacity to anticipate future events, a critical aspect of resilience, and influences the social structure. An exemplary case is the unregulated widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) by students to complete tasks, which diminishes critical thinking and reduces significant cognitive engagement. Such actions are possible with the cultural complicity of various stakeholders. Ultimately, the dystopian vision of a mindless and non-resilient young populace within an already susceptible context of an aging society—particularly with the increasing prevalence of dementia—reveals novel vulnerabilities, signalling the onset of an impending disaster. The suggestion made in this paper is for the research and teaching community to play a more active role in mitigating, if not preventing, potential unintended yet not-so-unforeseeable consequences.

Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study explores the impact of family planning on family welfare, emphasizing its health, economic, and social dimensions. It aims to comprehensively understand how access to family planning services influences household financial stability, maternal and child health outcomes, educational opportunities, and women’s empowerment. The study addresses barriers to effective family planning implementation, particularly in socio-cultural and policy contexts.
Research Design and Methodology: This research adopts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, synthesizing findings from relevant studies to evaluate the effectiveness of family planning programs. The study integrates theoretical frameworks, including Human Capital Theory, to assess the long-term socio-economic benefits of family planning. Secondary data sources from peer-reviewed journals and empirical research were analyzed to identify key trends, challenges, and policy implications.
Findings and Discussion: The findings indicate that family planning significantly reduces maternal and infant mortality rates, enhances child health, and improves household financial security by enabling better resource allocation. Family planning also contributes to social mobility by increasing access to education and economic opportunities, particularly for women. However, cultural and religious barriers, unequal healthcare access, and policy gaps remain challenges in achieving widespread adoption. Addressing these issues requires community-based interventions, technology integration, and policy reforms.
Implications: The study underscores the importance of evidence-based policies to enhance family planning services, particularly in rural and underserved communities. Governments, NGOs, and the private sector must collaborate to expand access to reproductive healthcare, integrate digital health solutions, and ensure sustainable funding. Future research should explore the role of digital technologies in increasing family planning awareness and accessibility.

Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study examines the role of soy biscuits as supplementary food in reducing the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) in health crises. The research explores the nutritional effectiveness of soy biscuits, their acceptability among pregnant women, and their potential as a non-pharmacological intervention in community-based maternal healthcare settings, particularly at TPMB Hj Sitti Hasrah Ibrahim.
Research Design and Methodology: This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, analyzing relevant studies from peer-reviewed journals to assess the impact of protein-based nutritional interventions on HG symptoms. The research synthesizes evidence on dietary strategies, maternal nutrition, and the physiological mechanisms through which soy biscuits alleviate HG symptoms. The review also incorporates empirical data from similar interventions to evaluate their feasibility in low-resource and crisis-affected healthcare settings.
Findings and Discussion: The findings indicate that soy biscuits significantly stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce gastric motility disturbances, and improve maternal food tolerance. Compared to high-carbohydrate or high-fat diets, protein-based nutrition is more effective in managing nausea and vomiting in HG patients. Additionally, soy biscuits are well-tolerated and accepted by pregnant women, making them a practical intervention for managing HG in settings with limited access to pharmacological treatments.
Implications: This study provides practical insights for healthcare providers, policymakers, and food manufacturers by advocating nutritional interventions in maternal healthcare programs. Future research should explore alternative formulations, large-scale implementation, and long-term health outcomes to establish a comprehensive dietary strategy for HG management.
Risk Factors for Vaginal Discharge in Adolescent Girls
Authors: Salina Salina , Arlina Andi , Khairat Nur Ummul
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study aims to examine the risk factors contributing to abnormal vaginal discharge in adolescent girls by integrating biological, hygienic, socio-cultural, economic, and psychological determinants. Unlike previous research on hormonal influences, this study provides a holistic perspective on how various factors impact adolescent reproductive health.
Research Design and Methodology: This research employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach to synthesize findings from scholarly articles published after 2018. Relevant studies were retrieved from Elsevier, Emerald, Wiley, and Springer databases. The analysis focuses on identifying dominant biological, behavioral, and environmental factors contributing to vaginal discharge among adolescent girls, along with potential interventions to mitigate health risks.
Findings and Discussion: The results indicate that hormonal fluctuations during puberty influence vaginal microbiota and secretion levels, while poor hygiene practices, lack of reproductive health education, and socio-economic constraints exacerbate infection risks. Cultural stigmas surrounding menstruation and vaginal health further hinder adolescents from seeking timely medical attention. Additionally, stress and mental health issues contribute to hormonal imbalances, increasing susceptibility to abnormal discharge. These findings emphasize the interconnectedness of physiological, behavioral, and environmental factors in adolescent reproductive health.
Implications: This study underscores the need for comprehensive school reproductive health education, improved access to sanitary products, and reduced social stigmas through public health campaigns. Policymakers should prioritize affordable sanitary products and ensure proper sanitation facilities, particularly in low-income communities. Future research should explore empirical approaches, including qualitative interviews and regional case studies, to further assess the lived experiences of adolescent girls in diverse cultural contexts.

Published: February 2025

Let \( G \) be a simple, connected graph with finite vertex set \( V \) and edge set \( E \). A depletion of \( G \) is a permutation \( v_1 v_2 \dots v_n \) of the elements of \( V \) with the property that \( v_i \) is adjacent to some member of \( \{v_1, v_2, \dots, v_{i-1}\} \) for each \( i \geq 2 \). Depletions model the spread of a rumor or a disease through a population and are related to heaps. In this paper, we develop techniques for enumerating the depletions of a graph.
