In recent years, Blockchain technology has been recognized as one of the most important new technologies affecting businesses and society, with a very bright future ahead. This technology is known as one of the most critical technologies of industry 4. Given that Blockchain technology is a new concept, before implementing it, the organization must understand it and be prepared to accept it; otherwise, the organization will incur irreparable damages. The main purpose of this study is to provide a framework within which organizations can evaluate their readiness to implement Blockchain technology. For this purpose, after a library study and systematic literature review, this study provided the initial research framework using the meta-synthesis method. Finally, the Lawshe model was applied to validate the proposed framework for the organization's readiness to implement Blockchain technology. Based on the findings, the final established framework included seven main dimensions, including Blockchain-based business strategy, operations of a distributed system, culture, people in Blockchain decentralized network, decentralized governance, technology, and Blockchain-based product traceability. Besides, 37 main criteria affected these dimensions, which can help companies increase the level of Blockchain technology readiness. Finally, this framework was used to measure the readiness of an airline company. According to the results of the analysis, Blockchain-based business strategy, culture, and Blockchain-based product traceability showed a medium level of readiness. Moreover, none of the main dimensions of Blockchain technology readiness were sufficiently prepared in this case study. This paper suggests practical recommendations to improve the level of Blockchain technology readiness for the managers

The study of path loss propagation is of high importance in telecommunication, for optimizing the efficiency of wireless communication networks. In this paper, four path loss propagation models; free space path loss (FSPL) model, Okumura model, Okumura-Hata model, and COST 231-Hata model were compared. The models were compared using measurement data from Choba, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The data is gotten from a 4G walk test using two mobile applications. The first mobile application Network, Signal Info (version 5.68.07), was used to acquire the received signal strength in and the distance between the BTS antenna and the mobile antenna. While the second mobile application, G-NetTrack Lite (version 14.8), was used to map out the track path followed during the test. Choba, the study area, is a coastal suburban area with map coordinates 4.8941° N, 6.9263° E. The measured distance range was from 0.09 km to 0.45 km, and a path loss range of 69dB to 81dB. While the BTS and mobile antenna heights were 32 m and 1m respectively, with a carrier frequency of 800MHz. BTS transmission power of 23 dBm was assumed, based on 3GPP eNodeB recommendations. A graph comparison of the studied models showed that Okumura-Hata model and COST 231-Hata model had the closest predictions to the measured path loss. The need for better path loss models for 4G and 5G propagations was observed

In recent scenario, women are suffering from breast cancer disease across the world. Mammography is one of the important methods to detect breast cancer early; that to reduce the cost and workload of radiologists. Medical image processing is a tremendous technique used to determine the disease in advance to reduce the risk factor. To predict the disease from 2-D mammography images for diagnosing and detecting based on advanced soft computing paradigm. Still, to get more accuracy in all coordinate axes, 3-D mammography imaging is used to capture depth information from all different angles. After the reconstruction of this process, a better quality of 3D mammography is obtained. It is useful for the experts to identify the disease in well advance. To improve the accuracy of disease findings, deep convolution neural networks (CNN) can be applied for automatic feature learning, and classifier building. This work also presents a comparison of the other state of art methods used in the last decades.

The economic events of recent years caused by the effects of the pandemic have contributed to rising farm costs. Determining the unit cost of current biological assets of crop production and detailing these costs by major categories is one way to optimize them and increase the efficiency of the main activities of the producer. It requires formation and implementation effective cost control mechanisms in crop production.The purpose of this study is development of scientifically sound proposals and recommendations for controlling the cost of current biological assets of crop production, identifying priority cost items at each stage of cost formation. The main standards for accounting for current biological assets of crop production in Ukraine are IAS 41 "Agriculture" and NP (S) FA 30 "Biological assets". Control is regulated by the company's accounting policy. It has established that it is possible to determine the actual cost of agricultural products only at the end of the year. Currently, in Ukraine there is no legal act that would give the right to reduce the time of determining the actual cost of agricultural products. To determine the financial result, there is a method of sequential closing of accounts of different types of agricultural production. In order to improve the system of control over the value of current biological assets of crop production in agricultural enterprises, it is proposed to strengthen internal control by means of information systems and technologies. Control of costs that form the cost of crop production should be carried out both at the planning stage and during the execution of works and at the stage of their completion.

Strategic goals of economic security have been set. The study of the relationship between public debt, foreign direct investment, and economic growth allows assessing the characteristics of economic security. A system of structural equations is proposed to study the relationship between GDP, public debt, and foreign direct investment. The result of economic security, which can be achieved by achieving the goal, can be considered increased resilience to internal and external factors.

The article is devoted to the problem of designing recycling in sustainable logistics systems in the field of processing wastewater treatment waste - municipal sewage sludge (MSS) in the focus of information technology management . The essence of the developed and proposed wastewater treatment project is based on its integration into the city's public utilities system, which will be a single basis for a closed-type logistics system that is managed on the basis of the introduction of a unified information system. This approach to the design of sustainable logistics systems ensures the formation of a closed material and informational logistics flow according to the "supply of raw materials - production - product distribution". This allows solving two problems: ensuring the creation of a closed logistics system that is managed by a single information base and developing a new type of fertilizer. The solutions proposed in this project in the implementation of the MSS processing project are complex and allow implementing all areas of the sustainable development strategy in the aspect of implementing modern information systems. The design technology makes it possible to completely close the logistics cycle for the supply and processing of MSS into finished products in the form of organic fertilizers

Blockchain is one of the trending emerging technologies that enables immutable data storage over distributed ledgers. The fundamental features of blockchain technology, such as record and identity traceability and immutability makes it an attractive alternative for the state-of-the-art information systems. Thus, blockchain has found its way into various fields. In Iran, blockchain technology has been employed in different areas including: commercial mining platforms, secure exchange platforms, and innovative trustless projects. One of the main applications of blockchain is secure management of sensitive information, which makes it a suitable infrastructure for providing advanced control over data in police task forces. The motivation behind this research is to provide a conceptual framework for employing blockchain in law enforcement organizations by analysis and comparison of best practices in other countries and academic case-studies. We provide a systematic overview of case-studies by qualitative content analysis. Moreover, the reliability of our statistics is evaluated by Cohen's kappa coefficient roughly 0.64. Finally, the prioritized applications were evaluated by a 14 member experts panel through fuzzy Delphi method with a Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance of W=0.711, indicating high rates of agreement among members. To this end, “trustless authentication systems”, “distributed data/resource/information management”, and “inter-department integrated information systems” were selected as most valuable applications of blockchain for police task forces and law enforcement agencies in Iran.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the usage of e-learning systems became the main challenge for many universities. E-learning has risen as cutting-edge method for promoting learning delivery. To ensure productive use, it is important to continue using e-learning. Numerous studies have shown that continued usage by the user is the indicator of success in e-learning, and in recent years, research on continued use of e-learning is being explored at a higher level than before. However, to date, there have been no attempts to systematically analyse these studies in order to provide researchers and practitioners with a picture of the current state of continued usage of e-learning. The aim of this research is to provide an in-depth look at the theory of continued use information systems in e-learning context. In this study, we used a systematic review approach to collect, evaluate, and synthesize data on the accuracy and value of previous articles published in digital databases between 2009 and 2019 that were based on this research area. To include all relevant research papers that were written during this period time, we used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to collect and review studies by following a predefined review process that included both automated and manual search strategies. We listed 87 primary studies from the review study that presented research on the continued use of e-learning. These studies were analysed using a comprehensive mapping method that collected relevant information to address a series of research questions. We summarized and analysed the published articles, which covered a wide range of research subjects, including the majority of factors that affect e-learning use. While research on the continued use of e-learning is growing and providing a promising new field of research, the systematic review found that a clearer understanding of the environment and path is not well reported. This research will contribute to a better understanding of the factors that affect e-learning use over time
