Implementasi Metode Naive Bayes dan Neural Network Untuk Menentukan Minat Masyarakat Pada Handphone Samsung
Authors: M Nelvi Nurrizqi , Harahap Syaiful Zuhri , Irmayanti Irmayanti
Published: December 2024

Naive Bayes and Neural Network methods are used in analyzing people's interest in Samsung mobile phones to gain a better understanding of consumer preferences. Naive Bayes is a simple but very effective probability-based classification method. This method generates possible consumer interests by analyzing features such as price, specifications, and brands, and calculating the probability of different categories. Naive Bayes is very useful in situations where data has independent features, and can provide accurate results at high speed. By identifying patterns of people's preferences, this method can help Samsung adjust marketing and product strategies that are more in line with consumer needs. On the other hand, Neural Network offers more complex analytical capabilities by imitating the way the human brain works through a network of neurons. This method is used to process larger and more complex data in understanding consumer interest patterns in Samsung mobile phones. Neural Network can identify deeper relationships between various factors, such as the interaction between camera features and user needs, using deep learning processes. The purpose of using Neural Network is to capture nuances and trends that cannot be identified with simple methods, thereby providing a more comprehensive view of what drives consumer interest. The use of these two methods of analysis in public interest in Samsung mobile phones has provided very satisfactory results. The calculation values obtained from both methods show a high level of accuracy in the classification of consumer interest. The results of this analysis provide valuable insights for Samsung in understanding consumer preferences and needs, as well as helping the company in designing more effective products and marketing strategies. Thus, the combination of the use of Naive Bayes and Neural Networks not only provides stron g results, but also provides a more holistic approach to consumer data analysis.

REFORMULATION OF REGULATIONS ON STRUCTURED, SYSTEMATIC, AND MASSIVE CRIMES IN ELECTION DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Authors: Amin Fakhry
Published: December 2024

Election result disputes often lead to structured, systematic, and massive (TSM) crimes that harm democracy and the nation. The regulations concerning TSM crimes in the Election Law are considered weak, necessitating reformulation to more effectively prevent and eradicate such practices. This research aims to identify the weaknesses in the regulation of TSM crimes in election result disputes and to formulate appropriate regulations to combat these practices. The study employs a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches to examine the regulation of TSM crimes in election result disputes. The legal materials consist of legislation and academic literature, analyzed qualitatively normatively. The research findings indicate that the main weaknesses in the current TSM regulations are the unclear definitions and the insufficient criminal sanctions that fail to deter. The proposed reformulation includes providing an operational definition of TSM, increasing minimum sanctions, expanding the subjects of criminal acts to include corporations, regulating the concurrence of articles, expanding the authority of investigators, and enhancing inter-institutional cooperation. With these reforms, it is expected that TSM practices in elections can be more effectively prevented and eradicated. Keywords: Structured, Systematic, Massive, Election, Crime, Sanctions, Regulation.

Published: December 2024

En este artículo proponemos el concepto de régimen urbano especulativo para enfrentar las críticas al concepto de informalidad, y para describir las condiciones contemporáneas de producción de espacio urbano en el Perú desde el 2000. Para tal fin, se realizó un estudio comparativo de tres áreas de expansión en Arequipa, Lima y Tacna en el Perú, donde se aplicaron 91 entrevistas semiestructuradas, así como análisis de información secundaria y socioespacial. Los resultados muestran que los modos de producción de espacio urbano en las tres ciudades del Perú están sustentados en la disputa del suelo con fines especulativos. En este proceso participan de manera sinérgica y con acuerdos sociales y legales, el aparato estatal, empresa privada, redes criminales y asociaciones civiles. Los hallazgos permiten discutir el concepto de “régimen urbano especulativo” como una apuesta por explicar la complejidad de las relaciones de poder involucradas en la producción de suelo urbano en los márgenes de las ciudades peruanas.

A partir de este estudio, tanto el Ayuntamiento como las asociaciones de vecinos, han comenzado a recuperar los antiguos caminos.
El antejardín en la ciudad: una aproximación histórico-evolutiva
Authors: Aparicio-Rengifo Reynaldo , Figueroa-Pereira Erick Abdel , Ospina-Tascón Juan José
Published: December 2024

Este artículo aborda el antejardín (jardín frontal) como un espacio de interés para la ciudad por su incidencia en el diseño urbano, en tanto constituye la transición entre el espacio público y el privado; además, considera que existe un problema de magnitud para la construcción de un corpus teórico: la escasez de información disponible y pertinente. La investigación se centra en la definición conceptual y operacional de lo que es un antejardín y en algunos antecedentes de Europa y América bajo tres objetivos: a) establecer su génesis, b) exponer su función en la historia urbana y c) dar cuenta de su utilidad. El trabajo se desarrolla en dos etapas: i) revisión bibliográfica con protocolos de búsqueda en bases de datos y consulta de literatura y material planimétrico en formato impreso; ii) justificación del antejardín en la ciudad desde la exploración de elementos teóricos. Los resultados sugieren que para discutir sobre la validez social, económica y ecológica de los antejardines en la ciudad es necesario articular dos ideas: por una parte, el antejardín incluido en la noción de tipo en la arquitectura y el urbanismo; por la otra, la aproximación a un antecedente remoto y su inclusión en distintos momentos históricos.
The Effect of Human Presence on the Representations of Children 4-6 Years Old in the Case of Air Within Vases
Authors: Kontili Evanthia-Markella , Kaliampos George , Ravanis Konstantinos
Published: December 2024

A distinctive direction within the framework of Early Childhood Science Education research is the study of young children's mental representations of natural world phenomena and concepts in science. The study of representations offers the possibility of developing activities that address the real difficulties of children and lead to the construction of new representations compatible with school science knowledge. The current research presents a study on the potential effect of the presence of humans on the representations of children aged 4-6 years regarding the case of air within vases. 41 children attending a kindergarten in Patras (Greece) participated in the study. During individual semi-structured interviews, children were presented with 3 different images displaying a vase with people standing next to it in different settings and were asked to indicate whether there is air in the vase and whether this is related to that people. The results showed that the presence of air in the containers was best identified in the outdoor environment, while few children attributed the air to human presence, especially when the vases were placed indoors. Based on the frequency table, it seems that regarding the outdoor environment, there are more adequate responses, as the presence of human elements influences less the participants, while in indoor settings there are more intermediate and inadequate responses, suggesting that the presence of the human element has a greater impact in participant's responses.

Authors: Rittichainuwat Bongkosh , Chakraborty Goutam , Tham Aaron
Published: December 2024

The bleisure market is generally widely accepted within the business events landscape, though research to date has mostly characterized traveler experiences and the supply chain in facilitating desired needs and outcomes. Very little is known as to the constraints, facilitators, and motivations of bleisure tourists, which this study attempts to address. Drawing on a survey with 290 international attendees of a convention in Munich, Germany, the findings reveal that specific leisure activities such as shopping are more influential on bleisure intention than constraints such as perceived risks (e.g., health). A theoretical framework is conceptualized and proposed to inform future work in this sphere of bleisure, as well as practical applications of bleisure itineraries and experiences among destinations seeking to capture this high-yield market share.
Unraveling the Link between Obesity and Tuberculosis: A Systematic Review of the Underlying Mechanisms
Authors: Deddy Herman  , Rizanda Machmud  , Nur Indrawaty Lipoeto
Published: December 2024

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) and obesity are significant global health concerns with potentially complex interactions. Obesity, through its effects on metabolism, inflammation, and the immune system, may influence TB susceptibility, progression, and treatment outcomes. This systematic review aims to analyze the published literature on the relationship between obesity and TB, focusing on the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar was conducted for articles published in the last 10 years. The search strategy included keywords such as "tuberculosis," "TB," "obesity," and "BMI." Articles were selected using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method.
Results: The review identified 11 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The studies revealed a complex relationship between obesity and TB, with nutritional status, immunity, and diabetes mellitus (DM) playing key roles. Obesity can alter the immune response to TB, potentially increasing the risk of disease and affecting treatment efficacy.
Conclusion: The relationship between obesity and TB is multifaceted, with obesity potentially influencing both disease susceptibility and outcomes. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the underlying mechanisms and to develop targeted interventions for individuals with both obesity and TB.

Published: December 2024

Background: Myopia is a prevalent vision disorder characterized by blurred distance vision. It is often associated with increased axial length (AL) and alterations in central corneal thickness (CCT). This study investigated the relationship between AL and CCT in individuals from the Minang ethnic group in Indonesia with varying degrees of myopia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Ophthalmology Clinic of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from June to July 2024. The study involved 33 eyes from Minangkabau patients with myopia, categorized into three groups: mild, moderate, and high myopia. Axial length was measured using A-scan Biometry (immersion technique), and central corneal thickness (CCT) was assessed using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT).
Results: Significant differences were observed in the average values of AL and CCT among mild myopia (AL 23.93 ± 0.650 mm, CCT 530.45 ± 38.534 µm), moderate myopia (AL 25.03 ± 0.516 mm, CCT 518.64 ± 26.223 µm), and high myopia (AL 27.12 ± 1.524 mm, CCT 509.45 ± 30.422 µm) groups, with a p-value of 0.037 (p<0.05) and r = -0.729. A strong correlation between AL and CCT was found in individuals with myopia among the Minangkabau ethnic group (r = -0.729, p = 0.037).
Conclusion: Higher degrees of myopia are associated with increased axial length and reduced central corneal thickness in the Minang ethnic group. These findings highlight the importance of considering ethnic differences in the assessment and management of myopia.

The study combines both qualitative and quantitative data to reveal their broader impact on public health. The findings indicate that the average beneficiary is 29.5 years old and lives in a household with a monthly income of approximately NGN 35,000. Beneficiaries reported improved access to healthcare and significant gains in health outcomes, particularly in maternal and child health. There is a strong correlation between participation in these social enterprises and enhanced health results, with prolonged involvement leading to even better outcomes. The study emphasizes that social capital—community relationships and support—plays a more pivotal role in improving public health than income levels alone. This insight is critical for policymakers and development practitioners working to enhance health services in low-resource settings. By highlighting the significant role of women-led social enterprises, this research provides valuable recommendations for achieving SDG 3 and improving public health through community-driven initiatives.
Pasivní investování, příležitost nebo hrozba?

Studie se zabývá problematikou pasivního investování, s cílem analyzovat chování cen akcií, které vstupují do jednoho z nejvýznamnějších světových indexů S&P 500. Studie se zabývá konkrétně devíti akciemi, které do indexu v roce 2024 vstoupili. Data o cenách akcie byla získána prostřednictvím aplikačního rozhraní Google Finance. Za využití metody lineární regrese a poměrové analýzy relativní změny ceny akcie jsme analyzovali výkon daných devíti akcií před vstupem do indexu a následně po jejich vstupu. Výsledky práce jednoznačně prokázaly, že akcie, které vstoupí do indexu S&P 500 následně s vysokou pravděpodobností zaznamenají pozitivní růst ceny akcie. Výsledky dále naznačují, že tempo růstu ceny akcie se po vstupu do indexu zvyšuje, nicméně výsledky nejsou tak jednoznačné. Výsledky zároveň neprokázaly zásadní rozdíl ve skokové změně ceny akcie v případě data ohlášení vstupu do indexu a data reálného vstupu.

Umelá inteligencia (AI) predstavuje inovačný fenomén, ktorý sa v súčasnosti rozšíril aj do oblasti investovania. Investorov čoraz intenzívnejšie zaujíma, či sa potenciál inovácií premietne do výkonnosti aktív, ako tomu bolo počas predošlých technologických bublín. Cieľom tohto príspevku je preto preskúmať, aký vplyv má rozvoj AI, meraný počtom patentov, na výkonnosť akciového indexu S&P 500, s osobitným zameraním na to, aké sú rozdiely vo vplyve AI naprieč 11 sektormi indexu. Pomocou sektorovej komparácie a ekonometrického modelovania bol na 5 % hladine významnosti (p < 0.05) identifikovaný pozitívny vzťah medzi rozvojom AI a výkonnosťou akcií. Sektor informačných technológií vykázal najsilnejší vplyv (ß1 = 0,79), zatiaľ čo v sektoroch komunikačných služieb (0,54) a financií (0,47) boli pozorované spill-over efekty podčiarkujúce širší vplyv AI na ekonomiku. Výsledky tak predstavujú významné implikácie pre investorov a potrebu sektorovo-špecifických investičných stratégií.
Financial Impact of Inflation on Young Adults Household Assets between 2015–2023 in Germany
Authors: Schumann Jannik
Published: December 2024

Between 2015 and 2023, young adults in Germany faced formidable financial hurdles, especially with inflation reaching a staggering 10.6% peak from 2021 to 2023. This literature review delves into the direct impact on their household assets, drawing insights from extensive literature, reports, and data. High inflation eroded net asset returns for young households, amplifying future wealth gaps. With a foundational review of inflation theories and asset returns, the findings reveal that smaller asset bases and fluctuating incomes left young adults especially exposed, slowing their wealth-building efforts and deepening income inequalities. The study urges targeted policy actions to boost financial resilience and advocates for further research on inflation’s enduring impact on young households' wealth trajectory.
Modelování trendů vývoje vybraných indikátorů finanční trestné činnosti
Authors: Štulíř Viliam
Published: December 2024

Finanční kriminalita zásadním způsobem ovlivňuje kvalitu života společnosti a má mimořádně negativní dopad na vnitřní stabilitu státu, čímž ohrožuje jeho fungování. Významnou měrou se na této činnosti podílí zejména daňová trestná činnost, která je klíčovou složkou hospodářské trestné činnosti. Formy této činnosti se neustále vyvíjejí tak, že se stala běžným jevem destabilizujícím právní vědomí občanů i národní hospodářství. Jejím charakteristickým rysem je vysoká latence. Z pozorovaných dat finanční trestné činnosti lze usuzovat, jaké jsou její vývojové trendy, nelze však poznat její skrytý rozsah. Cílem předkládaného příspěvku je navrhnout vhodné indikátory popisující vývoj vybraných forem finanční trestné činnosti a porovnat trendy jejich vývoje mezi ČR a SR.
Stellaria
ruderalis (Caryophyllaceae) in the Caucasus, new records
and species habitat preferences

Published: December 2024

Stellaria ruderalis (Caryophyllaceae) is an annual herb of the S. media group, recently described in Central Europe and later discovered in other regions of the continent and beyond. Here, we provide novel data on its occurrence in the Caucasus Biodiversity Hotspot, where the species has not been collected since its description as new to science. Stellaria ruderalis was discovered at 14 sites in eastern and central Georgia (2022–2023) and northern Armenia (2023). It inhabited various ruderal habitats as well as deciduous and mixed forests. It is presumably a common component of the regional flora, although overlooked to date. Thus, its first IUCN classification is proposed here as Data Deficient (DD).
The use of Artificial Intelligence within the Salafi-Jihadi Ecosystem on Rocket.Chat
Authors: Bolpagni Alessandro
Published: December 2024

During the last decades, Salafi-Jihadi groups have exploited the proliferation of social media to create a persistent and ideologically cohesive presence online. Yet, Salafi-Jihadi individuals connected online to form a new dispersed network of ‘media mujahedeen’ based on loose affiliations, moving from the ‘one-to-many’ to a ‘peer-to-peer’ structure described by Ali Fisher as the Swarmcast Model. The Swarmcast model can be adopted to understand the current media war held by media mujahedeen online. Given this context, experts observed a new centrality of non-institutional media houses, which spread jihadist propaganda and/or produce propaganda content. During the last decade, Telegram was Salafi-Jihadi organizations’ main messaging platform for both institutional and non-institutional media houses. However, in late November 2019, the 16th Referral Action Day coordinated by EUROPOL took place and forced Salafi-Jihadi propaganda operators to adopt what was described by Ali Fisher and Nico Prucha as the Multiplatform Communication Paradigm (MCP) to create a more resilient digital network. Among the messaging platforms, there was Rocket.Chat, which became their primary launchpad and digital safe haven. In late March, inside the Islamic State (IS) server on Rocket.Chat, the first massive use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was individuated, which was aimed at producing what can be described as a news broadcast in Arabic of IS’s wilayat operations all over the world made by a pro-IS non-institutional media house. The producer inserted all the main characteristics of news broadcasts created through the support of AI. From that day to now, the user posted ten different propaganda videos employing the same production techniques, albeit with some graphic and content differences. Against the backdrop of the evolution of Salafi-Jihadi communication that occurred in the last decades, this paper seeks to illustrate the use of AI inside IS’s server on Rocket.Chat and trace possible countermeasures to prevent using such technologies to produce Salafi-Jihadi propaganda.
