The article is devoted to the problem of designing recycling in sustainable logistics systems in the field of processing wastewater treatment waste - municipal sewage sludge (MSS) in the focus of information technology management . The essence of the developed and proposed wastewater treatment project is based on its integration into the city's public utilities system, which will be a single basis for a closed-type logistics system that is managed on the basis of the introduction of a unified information system. This approach to the design of sustainable logistics systems ensures the formation of a closed material and informational logistics flow according to the "supply of raw materials - production - product distribution". This allows solving two problems: ensuring the creation of a closed logistics system that is managed by a single information base and developing a new type of fertilizer. The solutions proposed in this project in the implementation of the MSS processing project are complex and allow implementing all areas of the sustainable development strategy in the aspect of implementing modern information systems. The design technology makes it possible to completely close the logistics cycle for the supply and processing of MSS into finished products in the form of organic fertilizers

An Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique plays the most crucial factor to consider in energy utilization in a wireless sensor network (WSN). AI transforms industrial operations by optimizing the energy consumption in sensor nodes. As a result, it is crucial for improving sensor node location accuracy, particularly in unbalanced or Adhoc environments. Because of this, the purpose of this research is to improve the accuracy of the localization process in locations where sensor nodes encounter barriers or obstacles on a regular basis. The Bees Swarm Optimization (BSO) algorithm is used to segment sensor nodes in order to increase the accuracy of the Direction of Arrival (DoA) estimate between the anchor and unknown node pairs. Even in the presence of unbalanced conditions, the proposed DoA- BSO involving three separate bee colonies can identify plausible anchor nodes as well as segment nodes arranged in clusters. In order to obtain the intended result, the objective function is designed to take into consideration the hops, energy, and transmission distance of the anchor and unknown node pairs, among other factors. The studies are carried out in a large-scale WSN using sensor node pairs in order to determine the precision with which the DoA-BSO can be located. When comparing DoA-BSO to conventional approaches, the findings of the meta-heuristic algorithm show that it improves the accuracy and segmentation of nodes significantly

Healthcare service institutions (HSIs) have sought ways to motivate patient loyalty in response to surging rates of medical tourism. Previous research indicates that Hospital Information System (HIS) is essential for HSIs to gather, measure, and analyze the massive amounts of data required to generate patient loyalty. There is currently no consensus on the factors that comprise HIS specifically geared towards motivating patient loyalty (HISPL). Furthermore, HIS requires full adoption by HSI staff to be effective. Thus, to reduce wastage of HSI resources, it is necessary to predict whether a given HIS specifically geared towards motivating patient loyalty is likely to be adopted. The purpose of this study is to reveal the factors that comprise HISPL and to modify the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to help predict the likelihood of an HISPL to be fully adopted by HSI staff. The results revealed that pertinent HISPL factors are capability, configurability, ease of use/help desk availability and competence (EU), and accessibility/shareability (AS). Using these factors, the UTAUT model was modified to fit the specific needs of HISPL. The modifications are theoretical and will have to be validated in future empirical studies.

Healthcare service institutions (HIS) seeking to motivate patient loyalty have identified Hospital Information Systems (HIS) as a potential solution to gather, measure, and analyze the healthcare data necessary for this goal. The purpose of this systematic review of the literature is to reveal how prevalent the use of HIS with respect to motivating patient loyalty, and to investigate the efficacy of HIS in doing so. To generate data, published empirical studies and conference papers from the past five years were compiled from the following online databases: Scopus, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and Emerald Insight. The search results indicate that, while the use of HIS in motivating patient loyalty is rare relative to other topics within the general field of HIS, HIS use have a significant positive impact on patient satisfaction, which is understood in the literature to be directly related to patient loyalty. There remains a gap in empirical studies on the direct application of HIS with the purpose of increasing patient loyalty. Future research may be required on the development of an HIS focused on motivating patient loyalty, which can be empirically tested in a real-world HSI setting.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the usage of e-learning systems became the main challenge for many universities. E-learning has risen as cutting-edge method for promoting learning delivery. To ensure productive use, it is important to continue using e-learning. Numerous studies have shown that continued usage by the user is the indicator of success in e-learning, and in recent years, research on continued use of e-learning is being explored at a higher level than before. However, to date, there have been no attempts to systematically analyse these studies in order to provide researchers and practitioners with a picture of the current state of continued usage of e-learning. The aim of this research is to provide an in-depth look at the theory of continued use information systems in e-learning context. In this study, we used a systematic review approach to collect, evaluate, and synthesize data on the accuracy and value of previous articles published in digital databases between 2009 and 2019 that were based on this research area. To include all relevant research papers that were written during this period time, we used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to collect and review studies by following a predefined review process that included both automated and manual search strategies. We listed 87 primary studies from the review study that presented research on the continued use of e-learning. These studies were analysed using a comprehensive mapping method that collected relevant information to address a series of research questions. We summarized and analysed the published articles, which covered a wide range of research subjects, including the majority of factors that affect e-learning use. While research on the continued use of e-learning is growing and providing a promising new field of research, the systematic review found that a clearer understanding of the environment and path is not well reported. This research will contribute to a better understanding of the factors that affect e-learning use over time

Falls are a serious concern among the elderly people, causing severe physical pain to them and placing a strain on medical infrastructure. The global elderly population is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, as advances in healthcare allow lifespans to increase globally. This will bring more chances for falls to occur. With this in mind, there is a need for new research to be conducted on finding ways to reduce this problem. One area which shows promise is the use of Machine Learning to perform fall detection. Machine Learning is a rapidly growing field, and it has many applications in various fields such as finance, technology and medicine. When it comes to fall detection, Machine Learning systems are often able to detect falls much better and efficiently than a human can, given the same input data. The goal of this paper is to conduct a survey study on the main and most common machine learning algorithms implemented in the field of early fall detection for elderly people and the characteristics. The paper will discuss the different types of fall detection systems, algorithms, tools, datasets, applications, and challenges.  By conducting this research, a better understanding of the context, progress and trends in the field will be possible so that future research will have a guide to build upon.

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.

Security is one of the most important aspects of data transmission. To provide controlled access to the network, user authorization and authentication are often used with the help of an AAA server. RADIUS servers provide users with access to data, user authentication, and configuration information. When designing networks with such access control method implementation, it is necessary to understand how the characteristics of the communication channel affect the switching time of IP-TV channels, and therefore the overall quality of IP-TV services. The principles of the main protocols for IP-TV using a RADIUS server are described. The main parameters of the communication channel were identified. The mathematical model and the graphs demonstrate how IP-TV service access time depends on telecommunication channel parameters. The results of a practical experiment are presented to prove the formed mathematical model. The results of a practical experiment and theoretical calculation are compared.

The main idea of IoT is to connect several objects to each other through Internet. In the field of Computer Network the main problem identified by researchers is network congestion. Now a day’s network congestion is increasing very rapidly because IoT connect a huge number of devices to internet. A transport layer protocol TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is accountable for network congestion control. The behavior of TCP is not stable as it takes long time to fill the available capacity of the network. It also continuously keeps assessing the capacity of data transmission through increasing the limits.TCP drops its data transmission rate aggressively when packets are dropped, which significantly reduces the throughput. This paper suggests a new approach, stable transmission control protocol for IoT applications. The experimental results show that stable transmission control protocol achieves better performance in terms of goodput.

People are used to exploring grayscale images in their family albums but it is difficult to grasp the reality without colours. Luckily, with advancements in Machine Learning it has been possible to solve problems previously thought impossible. The authors aim to automatically colourize grayscale images using a subset of Machine Learning called Deep Learning. The system will be trained on an image dataset and given an input grayscale image the model will be able to assign aesthetically believable colours. A grayscale photograph has been provided; our approach solves the problem of visualizing a reasonable colour version of the grayscale picture. This issue is undoubtedly under controlled; therefore earlier methods to this problem have either counted majorly on user interaction or it leads to in unsaturated colourizations. The authors put forward a completely automatic approach that will try to produce realistic and vibrant colourizations as much as possible. The proposed system has been applied as a feed-forward in a Convolutional Neural Network and has been trained on over twenty thousand colour images currently.
