From the recent literature review, it is evident that existing agile methodology lacks the method to evaluate the requirement understanding of agile team members for a given set of requirement chosen for agile software development. Hence, there is a need to introduce a requirement understanding check to ensure every agile team member follows the given requirement clearly without any ambiguity. To fill this existing gap, this research paper proposes to extend the usage of story cards to evaluate the understanding of the given requirement and to highlight any challenges and risks in the early stage of requirement understanding under agile software development methodology, if any. This paper primarily focuses to introduce a robust requirement understanding evaluation process in agile methodology. The research results were found to be motivating and were analyzed by comparing the data-points using time-series for performing agile query analysis, agile team velocity analysis and agile team involvement analysis for two agile teams where one team delivered the sprint output using agile traditional method while another team opted for proposed approach. A considerable decrease of 33.07% was observed in the number of queried raised and a significant increase of 26.36% in agile velocity was observed for agile sprint under proposed approach when compared to agile traditional approach. Also, a significant shift from 40%-80% team involvement under traditional agile method was uplifted to 80%-90% team involvement under proposed approach.

The blockchain's immutability has allowed previously centralized operations to operate in a new way. The possibility of applications having a new architecture is given thanks to the innovative properties of the technology, which brought alternative control designs for distributed systems and allowed applications to work without the need for a central controlling point. The expansion of blockchain to other areas beyond cryptocurrencies has shown the need for applications to implement solutions to deal with corrective operations. Blockchain 3.0 applications bring new solutions for business needs. However,  as opposed to immutability, the revoking functionality is much more complex to be implemented in this type of architecture, but paramount to applications resilience, allowing faulty or invalid information to be revoked, ensuring thus that the blockchain can still be trusted. This work assesses and discusses revocation mechanisms to contribute to the technical feasibility of several applications, which require corrective operations. We present a model in the academic area, which can be replicated for other types of systems in other areas.

In the academic context, social networking sites (SNSs) have reshaped the way university students connect and communicate with each other, and the way they learn, thus influencing their identities and dimensions. This paper aims to investigate the impacts of SNSs use by students on their academic performance at the University of Taiz. A survey questionnaire was conducted to a total sample of 357 undergraduate students via personal administration and by an online platform to gather the initial information on their use of SNSs and the influence on their academic performance. The hypotheses of this study were studied and tested using descriptive statistics, regression model, T-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings of H1 indicate that the impact of the use of SNSs on students’ academic performance was statistically significant Interaction with the teacher (II) Collaboration with coworkers (CC) Engagement (EN) and learning a cooperating (LC). Meanwhile, the results of H2 indicate no significant differences between the mean averages of the respondents’ answers for (purposes, the impact of the use of SNSs, and academic performance) due to gender, and age, respectively. Thus, using SNS as a learning tool has a great potential to improve students’ academic performance because it allows students to be more connected. Overall findings of this study indicate that the use of SNSs impact undergraduate students by factors are studied on academic Performance to some extent and suggested future strategies to enhance students’ awareness to manage their time, multitasking skills, and study activities to enhance their academic performance and achievements.

The inefficiency of the national security system is one of the biggest threats to Ukraine's national security. The strategic planning in the field of security and defense has designed to identify the means, including the future structure of forces, that would allow the institutions of the defense and security sector to effectively deal with potential future threats. The purpose of this study is development of theoretical and practical measures to increase the effectiveness of strategic management of national security processes on the basis of goal setting, forecasting and planning in the context of informatization of society. The relevance of this study is due to the needlegal regulation and improvement of the state system of strategic planning of national security of Ukraine. To achieve the goal of the study was used special scientific methods of legal knowledge. The results of the analysis showedwhat in the basis ensuring national security must rely on the principle of systematization, which means that the security and defense sector of Ukraine is considered as a single object of forecasting and planning. This study substantiates the main directions systemic reform of the security and defense sector, which has carried out in Ukraine to ensure the protection of the constitutional order, sovereignty, territorial integrity of the state in the face of armed aggression. The priorities should be implemented through key tasks, such as the establishment of a comprehensive strategic analysis of military threats to Ukraine's national security, coordination of intelligence activities, development of joint intelligence capabilities of the defense forces in order to obtain complete and reliable warning information for timely decision-making guaranteeing the military security of the state.

This paper aimed to explore IT innovations used in sustainable business models in the European single energy market. For this purpose, the academic literature and content analyses of organized marketplaces were performed. The results showed that end users are not always interested in changing the service and try to choose services/resources well known to them. At the same time, market operators see the need for radical change by introducing strategic innovations and digitizing energy markets. Sustainable e-government management models are typically sustained by IoT, blockchain, and smart grid management technologies.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are the sensor nodes that are generally interconnected and these nodes communicate wirelessly to collect the data from the environment around them. Sensor nodes are low-powered and distributed in a decentralized ADHOC manner. WSNs setup comes with some limitations such as energy constraints and the cooperative demands essential to perform multi-hop geographic routing for Internet of things (IoT) applications. Quality of Service (QoS) depends to a great extent on offering participating nodes an incentive for collaborating. The real-time applications of WSNs have potential design limitations such as energy and other QoS constraints in the context of IoT. This work formulates two different re-transmission strategies for optimized cross-layer design and also integrates the framework with a swarm intelligence technique assisted Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO) for efficient Cluster Head (CH) selection. The proposed work designs analytical modelling to realize the formulated concept and also simulates the computational design in a numerical computing tool. Finally, an extensive simulation is carried out using the MATLAB simulation tool. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed system in terms of delay is reduced by 12%, throughput is increased to 10%, remaining energy of the network is increased to 11%, and packet delivery ratio of the proposed work in increased to 7-9% in comparison with the existing system.

Available research suggests using Blockchain in electronic medical files to aggregate and integrate information. While reviewing authoritative articles and books, we analyzed the challenges and opportunities of using Blockchain this way. By using the specialists' opinion, completing a specialist questionnaire, using the DEMETEL technique and interpretive structural modeling (ISM) technique, this research investigated and analyzed the possibilities of using Blockchain in electronic medical files. The pair comparison technique was used to study and analyze the challenges of using Blockchain this way. The results are stated in this research. Research achievements include the design of a model using Blockchain for electronic medical files, analysis of Block chain's opportunities and challenges, measurement of the components, design and presentation of the model, and prioritizing the challenges of using Blockchain. This research suggests that the use of Blockchain in electronic medical files can reduce extra costs, create a comprehensive system for medical records to avoid additional costs, facilitate access to patient information, and reduce medical errors. The results obtained reveal that the components of immutability and the impossibility of data forgery of patient records (based on data integration in Blockchain) have the most impact on the system. Examination of the challenges reveals that blockchain technology's challenges (low speed, difficulty working with Blockchain, poor integrations between the software for various electronic health records) are of the utmost importance.

Learning effective segment depictions and resemblance measures are fundamental to the recuperation execution of a substance based picture recuperation (CBIR) structure. Regardless of wide research tries for a significant long time, it stays one of the most testing open gives that broadly impedes the achievements of real-world CBIR structures. The key test has been credited to the extraordinary "semantic hole" subject that happens between low-level photo pixels got by technologies and raised close semantic thoughts saw by a human. Among various techniques, AI has been successfully analyzed as a possible course to interface the semantic gap in the whole deal. Impelled by late triumphs of significant learning techniques for PC vision and various applications, in this paper, we try to address an open issue: if significant learning is a longing for spreading over the semantic gap in CBIR and how much updates in CBIR endeavors can be cultivated by exploring the front line significant learning methodology for learning feature depictions and likeness measures. Specifically, we explore a structure of significant learning with application to CBIR assignments with a wide game plan of definite examinations by investigating front line significant learning methodologies for CBIR endeavors under moved settings. From our exploratory examinations, we find some encouraging results and compress some huge bits of information for upcoming research.
