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 realm of human-computer interaction delves deep into understanding how individuals acquire knowledge and integrate technology into their everyday lives. Among the various methods for measuring brain signals, electroencephalography (EEG) stands out for its non-invasive, portable, affordable, and highly time-sensitive capabilities. Some researchers have revealed a consistent correlation between meditation practices and changes in the EEG frequency range, observed across a wide array of meditation techniques. Furthermore, the availability of EEG datasets has facilitated research in this field. This study explores the effectiveness of the One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN-1D) based novel classification method, which impressively achieved an 62% training accuracy, showcasing the robustness of these models in meditation classification tasks. The proposed methodology unveiling a novel method to differentiate neural oscillations in 4 types of meditators and control. This approach analyzes an EEG dataset of highly experienced meditators practicing Vipassana (VIP), Isha Shoonya (SYN), Himalayan Yoga (HYT), and untrained control subjects (CTR) by employing chi-square, CNN, hyperparameter models for data analysis, The outcomes indicate that different meditation types exhibit distinct cognitive features, enabling effective differentiation and classification.

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

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.
