For the last three decades, research on Information Technology Business Value (ITBV) has highlighted how organizations can create greater value from IT investments in different industries, including the healthcare sector. There has been some research investigating the business value of Health Information Systems (HIS). However, the current body of knowledge regarding the challenges in front of proper business value realization of these systems is limited. This study investigates the challenges of HIS business value creation using a combination of the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and fuzzy Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL). First, this study reviews the literature to identify the main challenges in the field. The outcome of this step revealed three main categories and 22 challenges, including technological (ten challenges), organizational (eight challenges), and environmental (four challenges). Then, this study first uses FAHP to evaluate the weighting for each criterion and then adopts the fuzzy DEMATEL method to establish contextual relationships among those criteria. We find out that technological challenges are the most crucial dimension. Moreover, we observed that “infrastructure costs” has the highest priority. Under the technological dimension, “maintenance costs” and “systems compatibility” challenges are the most critical since they are in the cause area and directly influence the HIS outcomes. Under the organizational dimension, “Change in strategic objectives” is the most important challenge. Moreover, “inter-departmental coordination”, “training costs”, “proficiency”, and “users’ knowledge” are affected by each other as well as influenced by the net causes. The outcome of this study shows that to handle HIS business value creation challenges, healthcare executives should start with infrastructure costs, maintenance costs, and systems compatibility challenges.

The article examines the development of theoretical and methodological approaches and practical recommendations for improving the ecological and economic foundations of land management and land management at the local level in the example of the European Union. In practice, regional, spatial, strategic, landscape, and integrated types of land use development planning are most often used in the European Union. With the development of the market economy of European society, environmental problems arose, which prompted the development of landscape planning, both landscape-ecological and socio-economic aspects of territorial development. The experience of landscape planning was introduced in Germany, which later became used in almost all European countries. The study and direct comparison of existing landscape planning systems in different European countries, and their reduction to several basic features are not possible and impractical because these systems are very different. This is due to a number of reasons: history, features of political systems, cultural traditions, level of economic development, the nature of legal systems and property relations. Landscape planning in the European Union is going to be one of the tensest areas of activity in the future, and Ukraine must take an active part in this process.

The study is aimed at assessing the strategic importance of a business processes for achieving sustainable competitive advantage, therefore, in this article the theoretical approach for measuring the strategic contribution of a business process to an enterprise’s business system is presented.  For evaluating of a business process strategic importance the study proposes the system of economic and managerial indicators, which includes the process’ contribution to the added value, its compliance to critical success factors, and its organizational involvement. Сombining these three indicators into one integral allows it to be used in different types of matrix analysis to make decisions on improving of a company’s business system.

The results of paper significantly contribute to the literature through providing evidence from financial data of Bitcoin.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a tool used for the electrical analysis of the status of human heart activity. When the ECG signal is recorded, it gets contaminated with different types of noises. So, for accurate analysis, noises must be eliminated from the ECG signal. There are different types of noises that contaminate the characteristics of ECG signal i.e Power line interference, baseline wander, Electromyogram (EMG). In this paper, different techniques have implemented for the removal of noises. A median filter is used for removal of DC component and Savitzky-Golay filter (SG) is used for smoothing noised waveform and then wavelet transform (db4) is used to decompose the ECG signal for removal of various artifacts. Wavelet transform provides the information in frequency and time domain and then thresholding has been applied for the implementation of algorithms in MATLAB. The measured results i.e. SNR(Signal to Noise ratio) and MSE(Mean square error) have been calculated using different databases like MIT-BIH, Long-term ST database, European ST-T database. The results are examined with proposed methods that are better than those reported in the literature.

The article considers a method for solving an information asymmetry problem that is relevant for the banking sector. The authors compare bank products and services in which tariff packages are consist of different informational components. The principal feature of the proposed method is to focus on obtaining a subjective evaluation of the attractiveness of the Bank’s offers for specific target groups. This makes the proposed method relevant for Central and commercial banks, as well as for consumers of banking products. Since complex tariff packages of different banks contain not only many indicators but also different sets, it is impossible to directly compare them. The proposed method allows solving the main informational problems of traditional methods for comparing banking products. Using the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) allows a flexible approach to the aggregation of singular indicators of tariff packages and simplifies the expert procedures. To make rules for fuzzy inference, linguistic constructions close to the natural language can be used. This makes it easier to fill the knowledge base. To solve the set tasks, a methodology for constructing hierarchical FIS is used. In comparison with non-hierarchical FIS it can reduce the requirements to the number of rules in fuzzy inference rule base and system implementation time. The experiments with the fuzzy inference system, which implements a corporate credit cards tariff packages comparison of four Ukrainian banks, showed the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The obtained numerical results are adequately interpreted for the highlighted groups of banking product consumers

The purpose of this study is to develop proposals for the introduction of ecological, digital, professional, innovation and social public procurements in the national strategy on E-Public Procurement Reform and the strategy of procurements on the company-customer level. The relevance of this study is due to the need to ensure the development of “smart”, sustainable, inclusive economy, which will help reduce unemployment, poverty, facilitate access for people with disabilities to work, create opportunities for the education of young people and adults, stimulate innovations, meet expectations of citizens, solve environmental problems, carry out digital transformations taking into consideration the best world practices. The share of public procurements in expenditures of the state budget and gross domestic product of Ukraine, the dynamics of the procurement’s participants in the B2G segment is evaluated. In Ukraine, the largest share of expenditures falls on security and social protection, however, the prosperity index in these categories is critical (“red” zone). In order to form The E-Public Procurement Strategy, the best world practices of introducing innovative, environmental and social procurement criteria should be considered. Strategic directions of public procurement, namely – ecological, digital, professional, innovation and social, which provide sustainable and inclusive development of economy, are proposed.

K nearest neighbor algorithm is one of the most frequently used techniques in data mining for its integrity and performance. Though the KNN algorithm is highly effective in many cases, it has some essential deficiencies, which affects the classification accuracy of the algorithm. First, the effectiveness of the algorithm is affected by redundant and irrelevant features. Furthermore, this algorithm does not consider the differences between samples, which led the algorithm to have inaccurate predictions. In this paper, we proposed a novel scheme for improving the accuracy of the KNN classification algorithm based on the new weighting technique and stepwise feature selection. First, we used a stepwise feature selection method to eliminate irrelevant features and select highly correlated features with the class category. Then a new weighting method was proposed to give authority value to each sample in train dataset based on neighbor categories and Euclidean distances. This weighting approach gives a higher preference to samples that have neighbors with close Euclidean distance while they are in the same category, which can effectively increase the classification accuracy of the algorithm. We evaluated the accuracy rate of the proposed method and analyzed it with the traditional KNN algorithm and some similar works with the use of five real-world UCI datasets. The experiment results determined that the proposed scheme (denoted by WAD-KNN) performed better than the traditional KNN algorithm and considered approaches with the improvement of approximately 10% accuracy.
