The article highlights the key issues related to the need to modernize the health care system, globalization and integration into international structures, health care reform. In Ukraine, the process of health care reform is underway, which involves increasing the efficiency of the medical services system, their availability and quality. Innovations can accelerate these processes, in particular through the introduction of digital technologies (e-health, telemedicine), automation of management of medical facilities, development of remote diagnosis and treatment. The state innovation policy will allow to more effectively prepare for similar challenges in the future through the development of new vaccines, diagnostic methods, monitoring systems and management of medical resources. Support from the state (for example, through preferential taxation) to the development of the private medical services sector will reduce the burden on the state budget. In addition, it contributes to the attraction of investments in this area. Therefore, the state innovation policy in the field of health care is a relevant tool for ensuring the sustainable development of the health care system of Ukraine, increasing its efficiency and competitiveness, which meets the modern challenges and needs of society. The authors analyze the key aspects of the state policy aimed at the informatization of medical institutions, in particular, the digitalization of medical services, the introduction of electronic medicine, the creation of unified information platforms and patient databases. The article examines the importance of developing a clear methodology for the implementation of innovative solutions, as well as the role of the state in creating favorable conditions for the informatization of the health care system. The authors also analyze the international experience and the possibilities of its adaptation for Ukrainian realities, emphasizing the need to establish effective cooperation between state bodies, medical institutions and technological companies. The article concludes about the importance of an integrated approach to the informatization of the health care sector in order to improve the quality of medical services and increase the efficiency of medical resource management.

Enhancing stroke prediction using the waikato environment for knowledge analysis

<p>State-of-the-art data mining tools incorporate advanced machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models, and it is widely used in classification, association rules, clustering, prediction, and sequential models. Data mining is important for the process of diagnosing and predicting diseases in the early stages, and this contributes greatly to the development of the health services sector. This study utilized classification to predict the stroke of a sample of the patient dataset that was taken from Kaggle. The classification model was created using the data mining program waikato environment for knowledge analysis (WEKA). This data mining tool helped identify individuals most at risk of stroke based on analysis of features extracted from the patient’s dataset. These features were used in classification processes according to the naive Bayes (NB), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) algorithms. Analysis of the classification results of the previous algorithms showed that the SVM outperformed other algorithms in terms of accuracy (94.4%), sensitivity (100%), and F-measure (97.1%). However, the NB algorithm had the best performance in terms of precision (95.7%).</p>

China's progress in synergetic governance of climate change and multiple environmental issues.

Advancing the synergetic control of climate change and environmental crisis is crucial for achieving global sustainable development goals. This study evaluates synergetic governance levels over climate change and four environmental issues at the provincial level in China from 2009 to 2020. Our findings reveal significant progress in China's coordinated efforts to mitigate carbon emissions, reduce air pollutants, and conserve water resources. However, there remains room for improvement in managing solid waste and protecting ecological systems and overall progress in synergetic governance has slowed since 2015. Employing a random forest model, we identify socio-economic factors with great influence on synergetic climate change and environmental governance, such as energy intensity, service sector development, electronic equipment manufacturing, and transportation. Additionally, we reveal nonlinear relationships between some factors and performance of environmental subsystems, including both plateau effects (e.g. output in the smelting of ferrous metals) and U-shaped patterns (e.g. output in the manufacturing of metal products), possibly attributed to constraints in end-of-pipe treatment capacities and complexities in supply chain networks. Furthermore, through hierarchical clustering analysis, we classify provinces into four groups and provide tailored recommendations for policymakers to enhance synergetic governance levels in their respective regions. The framework established in this study also serves as a valuable reference for countries seeking to develop practical and context-specific solutions to mitigate climate and environmental risks.

Agricultural mechanization and the performance of the local Chinese economy

In this study, we analyze the impact of agricultural mechanization on the local Chinese economy from 2010 to 2020. Findings based on panel data and instrumental variable methods show that agricultural mechanization led to a significant decline in the local gross domestic product. In particular, agricultural mechanization changes the sector’s production and lowers its output value. Agricultural mechanization has reduced the need for labor to such an extent that young Chinese tend to seek jobs in the non-farming sector, leading to a fall in the local agricultural labor supply and household consumption, adversely affecting the development of local industries and service sectors. Mechanization has also led to cash crops being increasingly replaced by grain crops, reducing the total agricultural output. Finally, this paper presents some policy suggestions for agricultural production and rural development.

Analysis of the Role of Agribusiness in the Indonesian Economy

Agribusiness is an important support in national economic development. This research aims to determine the complete agribusiness system that is interrelated with economic activities. This research methodology is a literature review which is based on Indonesian government regulations. The results of this research show that agribusiness has a strategic role in the formation of GDP, employment, international trade, regional economic development, national food security, environmental preservation, and equal distribution of development results. In the development and implementation of agribusiness that is already underway, there are still many obstacles. To solve very complex economic problems, especially in the agricultural sector, Indonesia requires sharpening (focusing) economic development strategies which are expected to be able to provide solutions to existing problems. So synergy is needed in the agribusiness sector, namely between agriculture, plantations, animal husbandry, fisheries, and forestry with the development of upstream and downstream agricultural industries as well as the development of related service sectors therein.

Low-carbon energy transition in oil-dependent African countries: implication on fiscal revenue

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to empirically analyse the fiscal revenue implications for oil-dependent African countries in the face of low-carbon energy transition (LET).Design/methodology/approachThe study combined the novel fully modified ordinary least squares, dynamic ordinary least squares and canonical cointegrating regressions estimators to analyse secondary data between 1990 and 2020 for the three major oil-dependent African Countries (Algeria, Angola and Nigeria).FindingsThe result shows that LET reduces oil revenue and non-revenue for specific countries (Algeria, Angola and Nigeria) and the panel, suggesting that low-carbon energy transiting is lowering the fiscal revenue of oil-dependent African nations.Research limitations/implicationsThe seeming weakness of this study is its inability to broaden the scope to include all oil-producing African economies. However, since the study selected Africa’s top three oil-producing states, the sample can serve as a model for others with lesser crude oil outputs.Practical implicationsOil-dependent African countries must urgently engage in sincere economic diversification in sectors like industry and manufacturing, the service sector and human capital development to promote economic transformation that will enhance fiscal revenue.Originality/valueWith the pace of energy transition towards low-carbon energy, it is not business as usual for oil-rich African countries (Algeria, Angola and Nigeria) due to fluctuating demand and price. As a result, it becomes worthy to examine how the transition is affecting oil-dependent economies in Africa. Also, this study’s method is unique as it has not been used in a similar study for Africa.

Digitalisation as a Factor of Service Sector Development

The purpose of the study is to summarise and present the main advantages of digitalisation as a factor in the development of organisations, in particular in the service sector. Research methods. The study used such general scientific research methods as generalization and systematisation (to distinguish approaches to the definition of digitalisation from previous studies), observation, analysis and synthesis (to specify the benefits of digitalisation in the activities of organisations), which allowed the authors to analyse the concept of “digitalisation” in the context of its impact on the development of service sector enterprises. The scientific novelty of the study is to highlight and actualize the main advantages of the impact of digitalisation on the development of the service sector. Conclusions. The current challenges facing the development of the service sector require enterprises and organisations to act following current market conditions, such as globalization and digitalisation. That is why digital transformation or digitalisation is becoming a priority area of their development. It is found that, in general, digital transformation is understood as the process of integrating digital technologies into all areas of business, which is manifested in fundamental changes in how business operates and how it brings value to consumers. It is determined that digitalisation is inherent in virtually every sphere of human activity, especially in the service sector and the provision of various services, as the Internet plays an important role and has a significant impact on the daily activities of service users around the world. Digital transformation helps to increase the efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and innovation of service offerings by developing and delivering new types of services, engaging customers in the processes of creating and delivering services and improving their quality, etc. The article also examines such motivational factors for the transformation of various business structures as changes in consumer behaviour and expectations, digital shifts in companies, and changes in the competitive environment. It is established that the most active digitalisation is taking place in the public services sector. An example of such a transformation is the introduction of the Diia portal, which allows most of the needs of citizens and businesses to be met with electronic services. Digital transformation processes are also observed in education, healthcare, real estate, construction, finance, etc. The article highlights the main advantages of digitalisation as a factor in the development of the service sector, including improving the efficiency of communications with consumers, modernising information and communication technologies, expanding competitive advantages, improving the quality of services, optimising production costs and implementing improved business processes, developing digital literacy, developing the production of digital products and services, creating a positive image of the organisation in the market, etc. Digital transformation is one of the biggest trends of the 21st century, affecting a significant number of organisations moving forward.

Factors determining renewable energy demand behavior: service sector development, private sector involvement, and human resource management perspective.

Energy is considered the engine of growth due to its indispensable role in fueling economic activities. However, energy is one of the primary contributors to environmental degradation. In addition, conventional energy sources are depleting quickly due to the over-consumption of these sources, raising the issue of energy security. The solution to these above-stated issues is increasing renewable energy consumption. There is evidence that service sector development, private sector development, and human resource management help improve energy efficiency; however, their role in increasing renewable energy demand is debatable. This analysis fills the vacuum by examining the effect of service sector development, private sector development, and human resource management on renewable energy demand across four major regions: Asia, America, Africa, and Europe, spanning from 1998 to 2021. The analysis depends on the CS-ARDL model that can estimate the short and long-run results by addressing the model's cross-sectional dependence. The model estimates confirm that service sector development, private sector, and financial development escalate the long-run renewable energy consumption in all regions except Africa. Human resource enhances renewable energy consumption globally, in Europe and America. Likewise, GDP and carbon emissions stimulate long-run renewable energy consumption in all regions; however, trade only encourages renewable energy consumption globally and in Europe. The service sector development, financial development, carbon emissions, and trade significantly encourage short-run renewable energy consumption in one or two regions. In contrast, the GDP positively and significantly connects to the short-run renewable energy consumption in almost all regions. Therefore, policymakers should focus on increasing the role of human resources, services, and private sector development in the economy.

Good for the environment? Foreign investment opening in service sector and firm's energy efficiency

Until now, studies on the environmental effect of foreign investment opening (FIO) in service sector are still blank. Actually, development of service sector is significant force for promoting economic modernization for the countries, thus development of service sector is extremely significant for developing countries. In this paper, we select China, the largest developing country, as representative country, in studying environmental effect of FIO in service sector. Our analyses construct theoretical model in studying impacts of FIO in service sector on enterprise's energy efficiency. Then, our analyses employ strictly exogenous policy change of China's foreign investment control clauses to measure FIO in service sector, and empirically identify the causal effects of FIO in service sector on firm's energy efficiency by using unique energy consumption data of Chinese enterprises from 2001 to 2012. Our results imply FIO in service sector could raise energy efficiency, suggesting that FIO in service sector has a positive effect on the environment. Further mechanism tests show that FIO in service sector could lead to improvement of energy efficiency by technology spillover effect and innovation effect. Our analyses give the first evidence on environmental impact of FIO in service sector, which reveals its significant role in promoting economic development of developing countries.

HOW THE EU ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT SHAPES UKRAINE'S FINANCIAL SERVICES MARKET REGULATION

This article delves into the impact of the European Union (EU) Association Agreement on Ukraine's financial services market regulation. The study examines how the harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with EU norms has shaped the financial services sector's development and integration into the European economic area. Research Objectives: The main objectives of this research are to analyze the extent to which Ukrainian legislation aligns with the acquis EU in the financial services domain and to identify the challenges and opportunities arising from this process. Additionally, the study aims to assess the implications of the EU Association Agreement on Ukraine's financial market stability, transparency, and regulatory oversight. Methodology: To achieve the research objectives, a comprehensive review of relevant literature, EU directives, and regulatory acts concerning financial services was conducted. The study also analyzed official documents related to Ukraine's adaptation to EU norms and the implementation of the Association Agreement. Furthermore, expert opinions and insights from prominent scholars in the field were considered to gain a deeper understanding of the subject. Findings: The analysis reveals that the EU Association Agreement has played a pivotal role in shaping Ukraine's financial services market regulation. The step-by-step adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to the acquis EU has fostered a more unified legal environment for market participants in both Ukraine and EU countries. Notably, the transfer of regulatory functions for the non-banking financial services market to the National Bank of Ukraine has enhanced overall financial stability and brought Ukraine's financial practices in line with international standards. However, certain limitations and restrictions in the cross-border provision of services persist, presenting challenges to fair competition and market access. Despite these hurdles, the successful implementation of the Comprehensive Program for the Development of the Financial Sector until 2020 has contributed to resolving economic issues and restoring macroeconomic stability in Ukraine. As Ukraine continues on its path towards deeper integration with the EU, ongoing efforts and reforms in the financial services market are essential to align with EU norms, foster cooperation, and attract more investments.
