This paper sought to examine the impact of perceived Social Media Marketing Activities (SMMAs) on customer purchase intention via brand awareness in an online context. An online questionnaire was used to collect data from 188 samples. The data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling approach, and the research hypotheses were examined using SEM. The study measured SMMAs through personalization, customer community, and live video. The results revealed that SMMAs were insignificant towards brand awareness and purchase intention. The result also stated that brand awareness does not mediate the relationship between SMMA and purchase intention. However, brand awareness was found to affect purchase intention positively. The current study introduces the stimulus–organism–response model as a theoretical support to examine SMMAs of e-commerce to customers' purchase intention via brand awareness.

Cardiovascular-Diseases (CVD) are a principal cause of death worldwide. According to the World-Health-Organization (WHO), cardiovascular illnesses kill 20 million people annually. Predictions of heart-disease can save lives or take them, depending on how precise they are. The virus has rendered conventional methods of disease anticipation ineffective. Therefore, a unified system for accurate illness prediction is required. The study of disease diagnosis and identification has reached new heights thanks to artificial intelligence. With the right kind of training and testing, deep learning has quickly become one of the most cutting-edge, reliable, and sustaining technologies in the field of medicine. Using the University of California Irvine (UCI) machine-learning (ML) heart disease dataset, we propose a Convolutional-Neural-Network (CNN) for early disease prediction. There are 14 primary characteristics of the dataset that are being analyzed here. Accuracy and confusion matrix are utilized to verify several encouraging outcomes. Irrelevant features in the dataset are eliminated utilizing Isolation Forest, and the data is also standardized to enhance accuracy. Accuracy of 98% was achieved by employing a deep learning technique.

Predicting the development of cancer has always been a serious challenge for scientists and medical professionals. The prompt identification and prognosis of a disease is greatly aided by early-stage detection. Researchers have proposed a number of different strategies for early cancer detection. The purpose of this research is to use meta-learning techniques and several different kinds of convolutional-neural-networks(CNN) to create a model that can accurately and quickly categorize breast cancer(BC). There are many different kinds of breast lesions represented in the Breast Ultrasound Images (BUSI) dataset. It is essential for the early diagnosis and treatment of BC to determine if these tumors are benign or malignant. Several cutting-edge methods were included in this study to create the proposed model. These methods included meta-learning ensemble methodology, transfer-learning, and data-augmentation. With the help of meta-learning, the model will be able to swiftly learn from novel data sets. The feature extraction capability of the model can be improved with the help of pre-trained models through a process called transfer learning. In order to have a larger and more varied dataset, we will use data augmentation techniques to produce new training images. The classification accuracy of the model can be enhanced by using meta-ensemble learning techniques to aggregate the results of several CNNs. Ensemble-learning(EL) will be utilized to aggregate the results of various CNN, and a meta-learning strategy will be applied to optimize the learning process. The evaluation results further demonstrate the model's efficacy and precision. Finally, the suggested model's accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score will be contrasted to those of conventional methods and other current systems.

Cancer is an abnormal cell growth that occurs uncontrollably within the human body and has the potential to spread to other organs. One of the primary causes of mortality and morbidity for people is cancer, particularly lung cancer. Lung cancer is one of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs), causing 71% of all deaths globally, and is the second most common cancer diagnosed worldwide. The effectiveness of treatment and the survival rate of cancer patients can be significantly increased by early and exact cancer detection. An important factor in specifying the type of cancer is the histopathological diagnosis. In this study, we present a Simple Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and EfficientNetB3 architecture that is both straightforward and efficient for accurately classifying lung cancer from medical images. EfficientnetB3 emerged as the best-performing classifier, acquiring a trustworthy level of precision, recall, and F1 score, with a remarkable accuracy of 100%, and superior performance demonstrates EfficientnetB3’s better capacity for an accurate lung cancer detection system. Nonetheless, the accuracy ratings of 85% obtained by Simple CNN also demonstrated useful categorization. CNN models had significantly lower accuracy scores than the EfficientnetB3 model, but these determinations indicate how acceptable the classifiers are for lung cancer detection. The novelty of our research is that less work is done on histopathological images. However, the accuracy of the previous work is not very high. In this research, our model outperformed the previous result. The results are advantageous for developing systems that effectively detect lung cancer and provide crucial information about the classifier’s efficiency.

This paper gives a performance analysis of multiple vote classifiers based on meta-classification methods for estimating the risk of diabetes. The study's dataset includes a number of biological and clinical risk variables that can result in the development of diabetes. In the analysis, classifiers like Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Machines, and Artificial Neural Networks were used. In the study, each classifier was trained and evaluated separately, and the outcomes were compared to those attained using meta-classification methods. Some of the meta-classifiers used in the analysis included Majority Voting, Weighted Majority Voting, and Stacking. The effectiveness of each classifier was evaluated using a number of measures, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and Area under the Curve (AUC). The results show that meta-classification techniques often outperform solo classifiers in terms of prediction precision. Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, two different classifiers, had the highest accuracy, while Logistic Regression performed the worst. The best performing meta-classifier was stacking, which achieved an accuracy of 84.25%. Weighted Majority Voting came in second (83.86%) and Majority Voting came in third (82.95%).

This paper examines the effectiveness of implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in the Google Ads advertising service. The study analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of AI integration, focusing on attribution models and end-to-end analytics. The findings show that traditional metrics, such as CTR, CPC, and ROI, used to evaluate advertising campaign performance, exhibit significant statistical errors when AI tools are applied, with errors reaching up to 35%, exceeding typical business margins. A comparative analysis in the construction industry highlights discrepancies of 10% to 35% between traditional and AI-driven models. The study concludes that universal AI algorithms often fail to account for industry-specific dynamics, leading to inaccurate evaluations. The practical significance of this research lies in proposing an alternative approach that combines traditional evaluation methods with AI-based tools, offering a more reliable framework for assessing campaign effectiveness

This paper aims to conceptualize the success factors of a digital transformation (DT) strategy and analyze its impact on a company's economic performance. We explore the concepts that affect the field of DT definition and the key drivers that lead to successful DT. Through these key drivers considered as success factors, we propose a research framework linking these drivers to the DT strategy and then corporate economic performance in emerging markets. To test the research model empirically and provide a contextualized interpretation of the results, we adopted a sequential explanatory design. Initially, we performed a quantitative study through a survey among companies listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange in Morocco. We then analyzed the collected data using the structural equation method. Next, to explain the results, we conducted a qualitative analysis through interviews with semi-structured questions. The findings show that in an emerging economy context such as Morocco, placing the customer at the core of the DT strategy, aligning the organization with the DT strategy, adopting a value system imbued with DT values, and establishing an operational roadmap to drive the change can enhance the company’s digital transformation. These drivers contribute to 59.5% of the implementation of the DT strategy. Driving a DT strategy has a significant impact on companies' economic performance, contributing to 21.5% of their commercial and financial outcomes. This study highlights that the maintenance of a "phygital" business model, which mixes digital and physical business models, and the lack of human resources involvement in the DT process are specific to the emerging market context studied.

Purpose: Economic and social status play a prominent role in many human activities and their  function is accentuated in the theory of the knowledge gap. According to the idea, the knowledge of the people with higher socio-economic status increases compared to those with lower socio-economic status. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of socio-economic status (based on knowledge gap theory) in the information-seeking behavior of fellow members of staff at  Qom University.Method: The study was an applied research in terms of purpose and in terms of strategy and data collection was correlational. The population consisted of 761 university employees. Based on Cochran’s formula the sample of the study included 255 employees. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. Spearman and X2 statistical tests were applied to analyze data.Findings: People who have a higher socio-economic status (with higher employment, income and education levels) are more motivated to search and obtain information, and there is a significant relationship between the components of individuals' socio-economic status and the type of the used information resources. Socio-economic status affects the criteria for evaluating information resources, and people with higher rate use various evaluation criteria while assessing the information. People with socio-economic status use various and different channels to obtain information, thus, there is a positive and significant relationship between the use of search engines and meta-search engines, internal and external databases, conference papers, library RSS, specialized social networks, consultation with librarians and technical blogs, and their socio-economic status.Conclusion: The social and economic status explains and predicts the information-seeking behavior of the staff and the results confirmed the theory of knowledge gap. Prediction of the facilities required for searching and seeking information in organizations and making them accessible to all human resources can help provide fair access to information for the better part of society and reduce the knowledge gap.

This article identifies the factors for managing the behavioral resilience of a firm in the face of exogenous shocks in the economy. Its main hypothesis is that each enterprise has certain resilience competencies that need to be strengthened and developed in the future. The paper identifies 17 key competencies that determine the behavioral resilience of an enterprise. Using the method of factor analysis, a model of behavioral resilience is built, which is used to support management decision-making.  The factor model of behavioral resilience SELF&IRR includes 7 competencies: S – Speed of response to processes and events; E – Endurance; L – Leadership; F – Flexibility; I – Innovation, ideas, ingenuity; R – Responsibility; R – Resource capabilities. This model can be used to determine the level of behavioral resilience, based on which a decision is made on the choice of the enterprise's strategy. Depending on the level of behavioral resilience, the management staff decides on the choice of a certain strategy (systemic transformation; structural transformation; local changes in the firm's competencies; adaptation of competencies to changes), which is aimed at strengthening the firm's viability and development. The successful execution of a chosen strategy enhances the firm's capacity to withstand current and future threats while actively seeking or purposefully creating new opportunities for development.

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.

This study investigates Ghanaian students' adoption of Mobile Learning (ML) by extending the technology acceptance model with a subjective norm variable. Specifically, this study focuses on the moderating effect of gender using the Measurement Invariance of Composite Models for the analysis. The study used a purposive sampling technique to collect the data for the study from sec-ond-year diploma students at the University of Professional Studies in Accra. SmartPLS 3.3.3 was used to analyze the data from 330 respondents. The findings of the study suggest that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and subjective norm have a significant influence on the behavior-al intention to adopt mobile learning for the complete data set. In addition, the results suggest that the impact of the subjective norm was not significant for female students but for male students. Also, the impact of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on behavioral intention were insignificant. Furthermore, the findings suggest that behavioral intention influences students' actual use of mobile devices to access learning materials. Finally, gender moderates the relationship be-tween subjective norms and behavioral intention. The findings demonstrate group heterogeneity, therefore, investigations on technology adoption must always incorporate group dynamics to un-derstand how different groups respond to its adoption. The findings of the study hold significance for both policy and research implications.
