Management of innovation processes is one of the functions of local governments and, therefore, they should be the initiators and moderators of communication between research organizations and enterprises. The program formation of agglomeration innovative development involves the creation of promoting innovation body, which allows to achieve the maximum involvement degree of all the participants in the innovation process. The article is devoted to the research of urban agglomeration innovative development, the need to create a special body or center for innovation, which will form a set and interconnected, and will be integrated into the urban agglomeration and carry out innovation and technological activities as part of research and production infrastructure. The article develops a method for predicting the effectiveness of the advancement of this body through the digital space using trend models. It is expected to receive three forecasts: optimistic, realistic and pessimistic. This will accelerate the establishment of links between the players of the regional innovation market and contribute to a qualitative change in the spatial and functional structure of urban agglomerations. The development of information and communication technologies allows to create effective systems that will stimulate the agglomerations innovative development . Therefore, the communicative activities of regional governments should be carried out through the use of information and communication technologies. Thus, the urgency of developing a methodology for assessing the increase of the innovative component of agglomeration economic development is due to the low percentage of implementation research results, low science-intensive gross value added in the Ukrainian regions, the possibility of using information and communication technologies. Increasing the number of targeted visits will simplify and speed up the process of establishing links between innovation market players at the agglomeration spatial level in both the short and long term

The purpose of this study is to study the indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of investment processes on the securities market, taking into account the scientific foundations of information management systems and analysis of indicators of financial efficiency of the investment function of the securities market in Ukraine. The relevance of this study is due to the growing importance of management information systems in all sectors of the Ukrainian economy, in particular, the provision of solutions to the problems of activating investment processes in the securities market of Ukraine by analyzing and reassessing the effectiveness of investment processes at this level, taking into account the scientific basis of management information systems.  A set of indicators that best reflect the implementation of the investment function of the Ukrainian securities market is proposed. A matrix of characteristics of investment processes in the securities market is proposed. It is argued why domestic and foreign investors prefer local securities market indices when making investment decisions. Through the implementation of correlation-regression models, it has been proven that, on average, 87% of changes in investments in securities are due to changes in the number of licensed entities, which on the Chedoch scale indicates a close relationship between the indicators. The results obtained using statistical inference methods indicate a high impact of both external macroeconomic factors that inhibit the development of the securities market and internal, which in turn is reflected in the indicators of assessing the effectiveness of investment processes in the securities market.

With the development of a new stage of the industrial revolution, the importance of digitalization of business development tools is growing. The purpose of this article is to study the applied aspects of digital marketing tools usage for business development in the B2C market. To achieve the purpose and objectives of the study general and special methods are used: comparative analysis of the results of economic and statistical surveys; method of expert assessments by questionnaires using a 5-point Likert scale. The concordance coefficient was used to determine the consistency of the experts' opinions taking into account the related ranks in method of expert assessments. According to the results of the research, it is established that the Ukrainian business of the B2C sector was actively mastering digital marketing tools. The analysis of penetration level of digital technologies in the development of trade business showed the emergence of basic conditions for updating marketing tools to influence the B2C market. There is a rapid coverage rate of multi-purpose use of the Internet among consumers and businesses; gradual growth of digital skills among practitioners; positive dynamics of development of interactive services in the trade sphere. However, the level of use of the retail businesses websites remains low in many spheres of customer service. An important trend of the current development stage of the consumer market is the usage of business Internet platforms designed for mass dissemination of information. Effective marketing channels of interaction with consumers include social media (social networks, blogs or microblogs, websites with multimedia content, knowledge sharing tools), websites, e-shops, and sales via mobile devices. According to the results of expert evaluation, foreground digital technologies, which are able to bring business to a qualitatively new level of interaction with consumers and the provision of trade services have been identified. These are artificial intelligence and cognitive technologies, BigData, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing. The structural and logical scheme of research of digital marketing tools is used for business development which includes two stages is offered. In the first stage, trendwatching, benchmarking and evaluation of internal opportunities for the use of digital marketing tools are performed. In the second stage, three components of digital readiness of business are defined: technological; competence; institutional. The obtained results form the basis of further research to determine the priorities of adaptive digital business behavior for the productive use of existing digital opportunities.

On a global scale, one of the prevalent causes of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It will cause a steady deterioration in the individual from the mild stage to the severe stage, and thus impair their capacity to finish any tasks with no aid. The diagnosis is done with the utilization of existing methods which include medical history; neuropsychological testing as well as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), a lack of sensitivity as well as precision does affect the consistency of efficient procedures. With the deep learning network’s utilization, it is possible to create a framework for detecting specific AD characteristics from the MRI images. While automatic diagnosis is done with the application of diverse machine learning techniques, the existing ones do suffer from certain constraints with regards to accuracy. Thus, this work’s key goal is to increase the classification’s accuracy through the inclusion of a pre-processing approach prior to the deep learning model. The Alzheimer's disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database of AD patients was used to develop a deep learning approach for AD identification. In addition, this study will present ideas for Haralick features, feature extraction from Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Visual Geometry Group (VGG)-19 network techniques. The results of the experiments show that the deep learners offered are more effective than other systems already in use.

Most real-time speech signals are frequently disrupted by noise such as traffic, babbling, and background noises, among other things. The goal of speech denoising is to extract the clean speech signal from as many distorted components as possible. For speech denoising, many researchers worked on sparse representation and dictionary learning algorithms. These algorithms, however, have many disadvantages, including being overcomplete, computationally expensive, and susceptible to orthogonality restrictions, as well as a lack of arithmetic precision due to the usage of double-precision. We propose a greedy technique for dictionary learning with sparse representation to overcome these concerns. In this technique, the input signal's singular value decomposition is used to exploit orthogonality, and here the ℓ1-ℓ2 norm is employed to obtain sparsity to learn the dictionary. It improves dictionary learning by overcoming the orthogonality constraint, the three-sigma rule-based number of iterations, and the overcomplete nature. And this technique has resulted in improved performance as well as reduced computing complexity. With a bit-precision of Q7 fixed-point arithmetic, this approach is also used in resource-constrained embedded systems, and the performance is considerably better than other algorithms. The greedy approach outperforms the other two in terms of SNR, Short-Time Objective Intelligibility, and computing time.

The spread of COVID-19 pandemic starting in late 2019 has changed the way we conduct our teaching and learning activities especially in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Since March 2020, classes have been conducted via online platforms. As a consequence, students missed the campus life, teamwork has been given less emphasis, fieldwork, industry visits and community service have been put aside, and most importantly the achievement of the learning outcomes towards a certain extent has been compromised. The implications of these changes need to be highly considered as they might affect the quality of graduates. This paper intends to discuss the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the education system and highlight some potential solutions that can be considered by the academics and the top management of HEIs to address the negative repercussions of the current practices. Some research implications are also highlighted in the paper.

The portfolio selection problem is one of the main investment management prob-lems. In the portfolio selection problem, robustness is sought against uncertainty or variability in the value of the parameters of the problem. This paper has been conducted for Robust portfolio optimization based on the mean-cvar approach. And introduces the linear mean-cvar model as a criterion for calculating risk and provides an optimal Robust mean-cvar model. Robust approach used in this research is the Bertsimas and Sim. In this approach, Robust counterpart presented for a linear programming model remains linear, maintaining the advantages of the linear programming model in the optimal model. The model developed in this research is randomly selected by real data of 20 stocks of the S&P 500 index for three years, this development help portfolio selection problem to consider uncertainty. Interval optimization is modeling approach to consider parameters uncertainty in this paper. Considering uncertainty make model more realistic. The results of model show that this approach has computational efficiency and on the other hand proposed model produce better solution in risk and portfolio rate of return point of view

One of the biggest shortcomings of urban spaces in most cities of the country is the lack of suitable sports spaces, which in addition to improving the health of the general public, especially the youth, creates a lively environment and can boost the development of the tourism industry. Many projects in the country, especially sports, are slow or stopped due to not evaluating the relevant risks, so the purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize investment risks in the country's sports projects. The present study is a positive research in terms of philosophical foundations and is applied in terms of orientation. The statistical population of the study includes experts in the field of sports tourism and the sampling method has been done judgmentally. To conduct the research, in the first stage, the risks of investing in sports projects were assessed through literature review. The number of these risks was 15, and after screening with a Binominal test, 6 factors were excluded. The remaining 9 factors were evaluated in terms of degree of impact with Dematel technique and 5 factors, i.e. market risks, economic risks, legal risks, financing risks and stakeholder conflict risks were selected as the most effective risks in terms of net effect index. Finally, these 5 risks were ranked by Aras decision technique and it was observed that the economic, market and financing risks, had the highest priority.

Banks as the largest financial intermediaries play a vital role in collecting savings and directing them toward manufacturing activities. Hence, assets and liabilities management is crucial for them and their depositors. In this study, through system dynamics approach, a dynamic model was proposed to manage assets and liabili-ties optimally. After building the model and conducting validation and sensitivity analysis, three scenarios were devised and were simulated and analyzed via the proposed model. The results revealed that taking effective decisions and actions to collect more deposits, especially time deposits as well as increasing the quality of credit assets (if allocated optimally) can be effective in improving the performance of banks. Therefore, using systems thinking and system dynamics can aid banks in managing their assets and liabilities optimally. mary of the significant items in the paper, including the results and conclusions.

The main role of financial reporting in capital markets is to provide the necessary conditions for the optimal allocation of resources and making correct and timely decisions. Achieving this goal is possible if the financial statements are consistent with economic realities or even have the slightest deviation from economic performance. However, over the past few decades, fraud detected in corporate financial reporting has increased the risk of financial reporting. Therefore, the current paper aims at investigating the impact of internal control weaknesses on financial reporting risk in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. In order to achieve the purpose of the research, using the method of systematic elimination of information related to 143 companies among the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period from 2009 to 2019 was collected. A multivariate regression model based on composite data was used to test the research hypothesis. The research findings show the significant positive impact of internal control weaknesses on financial reporting risk. The results indicate that reducing the weaknesses of internal control can reduce the risk of financial reporting and reduce information asymmetry and consequently improve accountability processes.

The objective of this study is to present a framework to increase the return and profitability and reduce credit risk of Mellat Bank customers by developing the RFM model. In this study, which was conducted as a case study in Mellat Bank of Iran, first the variables of RFM model were identified. In the next step, relevant weights of RFM variables were calculated using AHP technique. In the next step, using the K-means algorithm, customers were clustered based on weighted RFM and extended RFM. The result included customer clusters. The results indicated that the three clusters 5, 1, and 7 obtained the highest scores for receiving facilities and the coefficients for receiving facilities were equal to 0.271, 0.173, and 0.556, respectively. By determining the facility coefficient for the cluster and consequently for the customers presented in these top groups, granting facility becomes more transparent and more purposeful, and therefore, it will help the company increase profitability, reduce the churn among high-efficiency customers, and create value for customers. This research demonstrates a systematic method for granting facilities to recognize the true value based on the capability and prevention of arbitrary acts
