    With the advent of technology, there has been an excessive use of cellular phones. Cellular phones have made life convenient in our society. However, individuals and groups have subverted the telecommunication devices to deceive unwary victims. Robocalls are quite prevalent these days and they can either be legal or used by scammers to trick one out of their money. The proposed methodology in the paper is to experiment two ensemble models on the dataset acquired from the Federal Trade Commission(DNC Dataset). It is imperative to analyze the call records and based on the patterns the calls can classify as a robocall or not a robocall. Two algorithms Random Forest and XgBoost are combined in two ways and compared in the paper in terms of accuracy, sensitivity and the time taken

    Depresi merupakan gangguan emosi yang ditandai oleh perasaan sedih dan berubahnya pola hidup yang berujung dengan pemikiran untuk menyakitidiri sendiri atau mengakhiri hidup. Beberapa riset menyatakan bahwa penderita depresi bertambah pesat setiap tahunnya yang kemudian berbandingterbaik dengan ketersediaan fasilitas yang ada. Tempat rehabilitasi di Indonesia masih berpusat di Rumah Sakit jiwa dimana lingkungan yang disediakan lebih memenuhi aspek fungsional. Dilihat dari sisi psikologis, faktor lingkungan berperan penting dalam proses penyembuhan. Hal ini yangseringkali diabaikan sehingga proses terapi menjadi tidak maksimal. Dalam studi perancangan ini bertujuan menciptakan lingkungan yang ideal yangmendukung proses rehabilitasi dengan penggunaan unsur-unsur interior. Dalam proses studi perancangan penulis menemukan beberapa kesulitanyaitu bagaimana menerjemahkan konsep lingkungan ideal yang berbentuk abstrak menjadi elemen interior. Sehingga penulis melakukan survey untukmengetahui metode pengaplikasian warna dan pencahayaan, serta elemen - elemen interior lainnya

    Cloud computing is an Internet based processing where virtual shared servers give programming and different resources. Cloud storage is only capacity of information on outsider cloud servers. The benefits are boundless capacity, backup and recovery. The bad marks are specialized issues, cost and absence of backing in security. In This paper, we made to build an application for cloud security in IBM bluemix cloud to partition the data and storing them into multiple containers of object storage. Object storage is a resource which is used in IBM bluemix cloud to store a data. Hence the data is retrieve when needed by merging it. An proposed efficient data placement algorithm is used. This will consider how to place the files efficiently to the containers in object storage. Beside, the files will merge when client needs it back. So some additional algorithms is also used for partitioning and merging of files. Our goal is to achieve good security for cloud storage system, through proposed algorithm by using multiple containers of object storage in cloud
