The unpredictability of the stock market makes it a serious area of study and analysis. With the help of the accumulated information available in the current digital age and the power of high-performance computing machines, there is a great focus on using these capabilities to design algorithms that can learn stock market trends and successfully predict stock prices. The main goal is to create an intelligent system that provides these features for predicting short-term stock price trends to facilitate the investment decision process. To increase the accuracy and productivity of these systems and facilitate the routine of using common-sense knowledge in machine learning systems, developing or enriching knowledge bases and ontology for market modeling will be one of the effective measures in this field. In this research, an attempt has been made to strengthen and enrich the basic ontology created by the authors by using other global ontologies related to the subject of the stock market, and parts of the target space that were not addressed have been added to the ontology. By combining reference ontologies, a level of standardization is also created for the ontology and stability in the representation of concepts and relationships is ensured. In the next step, it has been tried to test the impact of the concepts and relations of the ontology in predicting stock price movements. For this purpose, news in the field of economy is considered as input and a model is created that first filters the textual inputs related to the desired stock symbol and then observes their effect on the price changes of the related stock. After improving the performance and comprehensiveness of the ontology, the study conducted in this report presented a model to measure and prove the effect of the relationships in this ontology on price changes. In practice, according to human limitations and the tools used, this effect was observed and confirmed with a proper level of certainty by checking the economic news.

The article presents the results of the analysis of the indicators of the level of the shadow economy in Ukraine in the period from 2010 to 2020. The level of shadow economy calculated on the basis of such methods as: unprofitable enterprises, monetary, population expenditures - retail trade - services and electricity was used for the analysis. The causes and consequences of shadow economic activity in Ukraine are given. The study found that the downward trend in the shadow economy persists despite the spread of the negative effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic and declining real GDP. In particular, three of the four methods used to assess the level of the shadow economy recorded a decrease in the level of the shadow economy (the method of "population expenditure - retail trade and services"; the electric method; the monetary method). At the same time, the method of enterprise losses showed an increase in the shadow economy, which is largely due to a significant deterioration in the financial situation of enterprises under the restrictions imposed to prevent the rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the world and Ukraine, as well as logistical problems. The practical value of the results is determined by the fact that the conclusions and proposals can be used to more accurately and objectively calculate the level of the shadow economy, which in turn can be the basis for effective decisions to de-shadow and legalize Ukraine's economy.

The article justified the feasibility of an investment project by analysing the performance indicators while taking into account risk and uncertainty of the use of information technologies. The impact of the above calculations of the investment project results is due to the fact that the evaluation of the investment performance depends on the projected cash flows. The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of risks on making investment decisions using information technologies in order to increase the financial security of enterprises. Methodological and practical aspects of risk modelling of the investment project were further developed, using the Monte Carlo method, which allows to construct a model by minimizing data, as well as to maximize the value of data used in the model. This model involves the use of probability theory and random number tables. The results show the distribution of probabilities of the successful project variable and the coefficient of variation of the performance indicator, allowing the investor to take uncertainty into account when making a decision.

Pandemic has brought all together a new environment of working and compelled all the off line educational institutions to become online educational platforms and strengthen their online resources. We need to understand online platforms as universities, institutes, schools, colleges or any educational institute which are working online and providing degrees, certificates, diplomas for several courses and programs. In different researches related to online education and Covid -19, investigations addressed student’s perspective or teachers perspective. Literature review has showed the gap in exploring the turnaround strategies inspired by the parent’s perspective for online education especially with respect to young children (Age group 8 to 12 years). Apart from literature review and analysis of secondary data from websites and search engines, qualitative research was undertaken to know about parent’s views in general about the online platforms and particularly about WHJ (White Hat Junior). The focused group discussion and the indepth interviews revealed very useful information with regard to Online educational platforms and especially WHJ in relation to Covid -19 times. Findings relate to awareness, acceptability, perception change, costs, safety issues, etc. It has brought out elaborately in this case based research, how parents expectation may impact the turnaround strategies of their wards’ online educational platforms. In different researches related to online education and Covid -19, investigations addressed student’s perspective or teacher’s perspective.

Green information technology is in the spotlight for organizations, helping them save money by using information technology (IT) to achieve the highest efficiency and thus reduce environmental impacts. One of the ways that can help organizations planning for deploying green IT is to evaluate green information technology maturity (GITM). Previous studies have referred to various criteria for green IT evaluation, most of which are qualitative criteria that are difficult to measure and evaluate in ambiguous conditions. The main objective of this study is to identify crucial criteria that affect the GITM level and to design a fuzzy inference system to assess the GITM level in any organization. While using a Mamdani Inference system, inputs can be verbal expressions or crisp values, and the output shows the level of maturity of green information technology. Since green IT knowledge is not modeled in previous studies, modeling it in the current study is a valuable step for organizations confused about various factors they should consider for going green. The main system criteria are the conditions of the data center, office environment, work practice, procurement, and corporate citizenship. Due to the generality of the model used for the knowledge base system development, organizations can use this system for the green IT maturity level determination. The presented inference system helps organizations understand their status of being IT green and plan for the following steps to accomplish their desired maturity level. The proposed inference system has been tested, validated, and used to determine the maturity level of Tehran municipality.

Diseases like diabetes are chronic and require long-term management. Inadequate production of insulin results in high blood sugar levels. Such diseases lead to serious health issues such as heart ailments, blood vessel complaints, eye ailments, kidney function disorders, and nerve ailments. Hence, accurate assessment and management of risk factors are crucial for the onset of diabetes. Our proposed approach combines fuzzy logic & machine learning algorithms for diabetes risk prediction. Three machine learning models were trained to classify patients into two categories of diabetes (Type-I and Type-II) based on their clinical dataset collected from Katihar Medical College & Hospital and Suvadhan Lab. The polynomial regression algorithm achieved a score of 0.947, while the support vector regression algorithm with the rbf kernel achieved a score of 0.954, with a linear kernel achieved a score of 0.73. Our proposed approach performed well with respect to the conventional approaches with improved accuracy by identifying the patients at diabetes risk. In future work, we further analyze the relationship between other ignored factors which contribute to diabetes risk.

The purpose of this paper is to identify and prioritise mobile wallet (m-wallet) key adoption factors (KAFs). 9 KAFs are proposed by authors on the basis of a systematic literature review. Authors have proposed one novel factor influencing adoption called 'contactless transactions' due to pandemic and new normal post-Covid-19. This has resulted in a total of 10 KAFs. The fuzzy TOPSIS approach is proposed to rank these key adoption factors (KAFs). Sensitivity analysis has also been conducted to check the robustness of the study. Examining the literature indicates that this study is among the first attempts to prioritise key adoption factors (KAFs) using fuzzy TOPSIS. The results show that perceived security, trust, performance expectancy, perceived ease of use and contactless transactions are among the top 5 adoption factors. The findings of this research will be beneficial for both academicians and practitioners. The key adoption factors (KAFs) proposed in the paper will help practitioners develop strategies for building a wider acceptance of m-wallet among customers. Moreover, the fuzzy TOPSIS technique discussed in this paper will apprise managers about critical factors to be focused upon. This study will provide an integrated framework for academicians to carry out further research in the field of mobile wallets.
