Nowadays, many companies cannot see the digital investment that plays a main role in the IR 4.0. Therefore, this study is investigating the study of investment as plays a critical role in an analytical activity to assess the benefits and costs of an investment and can be used as an investment justification. Traditional investment appraisal uses a financial approach where the benefits and costs are quantified in a certain amount of value for money and then compared in value. Moreover, this study is revealed the fruitful outcomes because revealed the investment valuation method with NPV (Net Present Value) and ROV (Real Option Valuation). ROV is an alternative to financial valuation. Seeding from the same philosophy as Financial Option, ROV has advantages in handling the flexibility, risk, and volatility that may occur from an investment. Thus, ROV is considered more able to appreciate an investment that has these characteristics. Investment appraisal with ROV is better able to appreciate investment than traditional financial methods, as shown by ROV's NPV results in the case of marketing with Loyalty points through email communication as a digital investment that are greater than ordinary NPV. This is because ROV can appreciate flexibility in investments that have choices of investment plans in the future

Net Asset Value (NAV) has long been a key performance metric for mutual fund investors. Due to the considerable fluctuation in the NAV value, it is risky for investors to make investment decisions. As a result, accurate and reliable NAV forecasts can help investors make better decisions and profit. In this research, we have analysed and compared the NAV prediction performance of our proposed deep learning models, such as N-BEATS and NBSL, with the FLANN model in both univariate and multivariate settings for five Indian mutual funds for forecast periods of 15, 20, 45, 63, 126, and 252 days using RMSE, MAPE, and R2 as evaluation metrics. A large forecast horizon was chosen to assess the model's consistency, reliability, and accuracy. The result reveals that the N-BEATS model outperforms the FLANN and NBSL models in the univariate setting for all datasets and all prediction horizons. In a multivariate setting, the outcome demonstrates that the N-BEATS model outperforms the FLANN model across all datasets and prediction horizons. The result also shows that, as the number of forecast days grew, our suggested models, notably N-BEATS, maintained consistency and attained the highest R2 value throughout the longest forecast duration.

The main drivers of value creation in a ‘brand community’ are social networking, community engagement, impression management, and brand use. Marketers are therefore interested in determining which factors affect the value creation practices. This study examines the impact of the Interactivity of Electronic Word of Mouth (EWOM) systems on value creation practices in a brand community, which in turn influences the loyalty of the customers. In this regard, a conceptual model was developed and tested by the researchers of the current study. The results indicate that perceptions of the users regarding the interactivity of EWOM systems, highly impact only three of the four value creation practices including community engagement practices, impression management practices, and brand use practices. Furthermore, the researchers found that collective value creation practices could significantly and directly enhance brand loyalty. Several theoretical contributions and managerial implications were also discussed

The human machine interface research in the light of modern fast computers and advanced sensors is taking new heights. The classification and processing of neural activity in the brain accessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Electrocorticography (ECoG), EEG Electroencephalogram (EEG) etc., are peeling off new paradigms for pattern recognition in human brain-machine interaction applications. In the present paper, an effective novel scheme based upon a synergetic approach employing the Genetic Algorithm (GA), Support Vector Machine and Wavelet packet transform for motor imagery classification and optimal Channel selection is proposed. GA with SVM acting as the objective function is employed for simultaneous selection of features and channels optimally. The binary population of GA is uniquely represented in three-dimensional structure and a new cross-over operator for GA are introduced. The new modified cross-over operator is proposed for the modified three-dimensional population. The ‘data set I’ of ‘BCI Competition IV’ is taken for evaluation of the efficacy of the proposed scheme. For subject ‘a’ accuracy is 88.9 6.9 with 10 channels, for subject ‘b’ accuracy is 79.20±5.36with 11 channels, for subject ‘f’ accuracy is 90.50±3.56 with 13 channels, and for subject ‘g’ accuracy is 92.23±3.21with 12 channels. The proposed scheme outperforms in terms of classification accuracy for subjects ‘a, b, f, g’ and in terms of number of channels for subject ‘a’ and that for subject ‘b’ is same as reported earlier in literature. Therefore, proposed scheme contributes a significant development in terms of new three-dimensional representation of binary population for GA as well as significant new modification to the GA operators. The efficacy of the scheme is evident from the results presented in the paper for dataset under consideration.

The incorporation of STEM education into the curriculum has been an aspiring objective for many nations around the world. Most students choose not to pursue STEM-discipline studies because they are losing interest slowly. Moreover, the level of engagement required for STEM education is limited due to inadequate interactive teaching and tools that facilitate effective learning in a classroom setting. The objective of this project is to assess how educational game applications can help incline students’ interest in science, develop an educational game application, and conduct user experience testing. A mobile application on Earth and Space Science has been developed for 10 – 11-year-old school students. The project is based on the Rapid Application Development methodology considering the short development timeframe.  The application was created using the Ionic Framework, Angular 5, C#.NET and SQLExpress. The findings indicated that this experiment motivates students to be more inclined to science.

This paper is aimed at evaluating critical success factors in Business Intelligence (BI) implementation in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) environment. The data analysis method used in this paper is the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory Model (DEMATEL). The study has been conducted on a cement manufacturing strategic holding company that has implemented ERP since 2010. This research is done through literature review and interviews with the head of the BI development team as the expert for this research, before distributing questionnaires to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Team and BI stakeholders. The questionnaire has been addressed to 18 respondents consisting of the BI development team and stakeholders, which include the Strategic Planning Division, Business Development Division, Transformation Management Division, and Accounting Division. There are 13 factors evaluated, consisting of 4 factors related to the organization, four factors related to the development process, three factors related to the technology, and two factors associated with the external environment. The most critical factor for organizational criteria is Top management support. The most important factor for process criteria is Effective project management. The most important factor for technology criteria is System reliability, flexibility, and scalability. The most important factor for environment criteria is the selection of a vendor.

The continuing outbreak of COVID-19 pneumonia is globally concerning. Timely detection of infection ensures prompt quarantine of patient which is crucial for preventing the rapid spread of this contagious disease and also supports the patient with necessary medication. Due to the high infection rate of COVID-19, our health management system needs an automatic diagnosis tool that equips the health workers to pay immediate attention to the needy person. Chest CT is an essential imaging technique for diagnosis and staging of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The identification of COVID-19 CT findings assists health workers on further clinical evaluation, especially when the findings on CT scans are trivial, the person may be recommended for Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests. Literature reported that the ground-glass opacity (GGO) with or without consolidation are dominant CT findings in COVID-19 patients. In this paper, the U-Net based segmentation approach is proposed to automatically segment and analyze the GGO and consolidation findings in the chest CT scan. The performance of this system is evaluated by comparing the auto-segmented infection regions with the manually-outlines ones on 100 axial chests CT scans of around 40 COVID-19 patients from SIRM dataset. The proposed U-Net with pre-process approach yields specificity of 0.91 ± 0.09 and sensitivity of 0.87 ± 0.07 on segmenting GGO region and specificity of 0.81 ± 0.13 and sensitivity of 0.44 ± 0.17 on segmenting consolidation region. Also the experimental results confirmed that the automatic detection method identifies the CT finding with a precise opacification percentage from the chest CT image.

Heart failure is a severe medical ailment that significantly impacts patients’ well-being and the healthcare system. For improved results, early detection and immediate treatment are essential. This work aims to develop and evaluate predictive models by applying sophisticated ensemble learning techniques. In order to forecast heart failure, we used a clinical dataset from Kaggle. We used the well-known ensemble techniques of bagging and random forest (RF) to create our models. With a predicted accuracy of 82.74%, the RF technique, renowned for its versatility and capacity to handle complex data linkages, fared well. The bagging technique, which employs several models and bootstrapped samples, also demonstrated a noteworthy accuracy of 83.98%. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 90.54%. These results emphasize the value of group learning in predicting cardiac failure. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was another metric to assess the model’s discriminative ability, and our model achieved 94% AUC. This study dramatically improves the prognostic modeling for heart failure. The findings have extensive implications for clinical practice and healthcare systems and offer a valuable tool for early detection and intervention in cases of heart failure.
