Data Visualization Based On Sentiment Analysis to Identify the Quality of Internet Service Providers in Malaysia

Nowadays, most of the people have subscribed to their own internet service providers. However, due to slow of speed, connectivity, quality, and customer satisfaction need a proper evaluation. In addition, the rate of internet adoption is still slow. This project aims to develop a web-based system of data visualization based on sentiment analysis of internet service providers in Malaysia. For the project methodology is conducted in three phases, which include studying the existing problem of the internet service providers in Malaysia, developing a web-based system of data visualization based on sentiment analysis, and the evaluation of the usability of the system. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) has been used in this project which are analysis, design, implementation, testing, maintenance, and usability. The quality of internet services is a crucial factor in determining the satisfaction of customers in the telecommunications industry. The data visualization system based on sentiment analysis can assist customers in making informed decisions when choosing the right Internet Service Provider (ISP) by providing a better understanding of the quality of internet services offered by different ISPs. The sentiment analysis approach also done by using the corpus-based approach. The evaluation of the usability result was done by 3 experts through questionnaires using the linear scale indicator to evaluate the usability of the system. The visualization of data is important which can help the user understand the information in detail.

Официальная цифровая политическая повестка дня политических лидеров мнения: основные точки пересечения политического дискурса и молодежных предпочтений

The authors examine the official digital political agenda in terms of young people’s perception of the political discourse broadcast by political actors in the online space. Social media contribute to the formation of a new political agenda involving users and political actors. This facilitates the integration of a political subject into the information and news flow, as well as to become a leader of socio-political opinion. The empirical base of the research was the content of the official accounts of D.A. Medvedev, S.S. Sobyanin and S.K. Shoigu (the method of linguistic and discourse analysis of publications, hashtags, photos, videos and feedback in the form of comments and reposts), which constitute the political content of the social platform “VKontakte” and messenger “Telegram” according to the rating of Medialogy for the period from June 1 to June 30, 2023. The empirical base also includes the results of the author’s projective methodology focused on studying of young people’s perception of the digital political agenda. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that users perceive the digital political agenda in the online space in a non-linear way, reacting to visual and textual pat-terns, but not reproducing a holistic political picture, which is represented by a political subject in their social media.

Barriers for and standpoints of key actors in the implementation of smart village projects as a tool for the development of rural areas

This paper focuses on the research of key stakeholders of village development and their standpoints for the implementation of smart projects which are bearers of new trends in village development. Smart projects such as in the field of environment, power engineering, as well as the social sphere are current challenges for the municipalities to avoid any further deepening of the difference in technological and competitive lag behind city regions. The object of the research was to find out how Smart Village ideas and projects are taken up by the local development stakeholders, in which fields the smart solutions are regarded as most desirable for the implementation, and what the barriers which occur in pursuing these projects are. To this end, the project methodology applied the stakeholder analysis through questionnaires submitted to key stakeholders for the development of the village municipalities, which included selected village mayors and experts from the ministries and regional governments, including representatives of local action groups that associate with the municipalities in the village areas. The research concluded that the smart projects pursued are most often associated with the forming of resilient communities and environments. Furthermore, the results pointed out that the mayors are more cautious about the implementation of smart projects than the experts. The mayors consider them more critically, they lack financial resources for their implementation, and they are unsure of their standpoints on smart projects, also due to poor information. The mayors would welcome improved institutional and counselling support from the state and regions facilitating the decision making process in the field of selecting suitable smart solutions and contributing to more intense use of smart solutions in the development of village municipalities.

Determination of expression level of AP1S1, CDK9, FIGF and HDAC11 genes in bladder tumors for aggressive phenotype characterization

Bladder cancer holds a steady 10th place among oncological diseases. Follow-up and timely diagnosis of recurrence and progression of bladder cancer are still based on regular but outdated cystoscopy followed by cytological examination. To reduce the number of cystoscopy procedures, new and reliable biomarkers for predicting tumor behavior must be developed. The aim of this study was to confirm our previous results that demonstrated overexpression of AP1S1, CDK9, FIGF and HDAC11 in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The project management was performed using iterative flexible project work (Flexible Methodology for Innovative Projects in Scientific Organizations, FMIPSO). Gene expression analysis of the AP1S1, CDK9, FIGF and HDAC11 genes was evaluated in 39 newly collected non-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder tumors. Differential gene expression was calculated using the ΔΔCt method with GPDH as a housekeeping gene. The 4,0-fold change in gene expression was used as a cutoff to determine up- or down-regulation compared to the negative control. Our results demonstrate the involvement of the FIGF, CDK9 and HDAC11 in tumor progression and their potential use as candidate biomarkers to characterize invasive tumor phenotype and muscle progression, as well as potentially reduce the number of cystoscopies. We used FMIPSO to be able to achieve the results at the optimum level of efficiency and control of the project with all possible constraints in scientific organizations.

Impact of Maker Movement on the Urban Resilience Development: Assessment Methodology and Analysis of EU Research and Innovation Projects

Cities are the engine of human development, and increasing urban sustainability is crucial to ensure human prosperity. The development of smart cities generally increases the sustainability of the cities. However, technical and environmental aspects are generally developed in smart cities neglecting socio-economic dimensions. The urban resilience concept includes the complex interactions of environmental, economic, and societal pillars. In this context, the emerging maker movement proposes an economic paradigm shift, with the interaction of humans and technology at the center of urban evolution. This paper proposes a multi-criteria methodology to define and assess the main characteristics of the resilient approach of the projects involving maker practices applied to urban development. The proposed methodology is based on the application of computer-assisted qualitative text analysis and a subsequent classification according to 12 indicators (community and urban efficiency, co-creation and professional, making sense and problem-solving, network and site-specific, implementation and optimization, sustainability-oriented and market-oriented) that define different dimensions of a bottom-up project’s resilient approach in three main key principles: inclusiveness, complexity, and durability. The method has been tested in 94 EU-funded projects. This analysis reveals the evolution and orientation of EU-funded projects from economic, technical, and social perspectives. Specifically, the patterns of remediation of non-participatory practices, the weak presence of open innovation initiatives, and the development of activities focusing on co-creation as a participatory tool. The applied methodology could be subsequently implemented at different scales and integrated with LCA in order to evaluate the sustainability of bottom-up projects toward urban development.

Bottom-up and top-down measurement uncertainty evaluation for multivariate spectrophotometric procedures

Multivariate spectrophotometric procedures are widely used in drug analysis to quantify one or more substances in a sample. Even if the analytical procedure is validated, there is always some degree of uncertainty related to the analytical results. No studies were found in the literature that evaluated the measurement uncertainty for multivariate spectrophotometric procedures. Thus, this paper aims to estimate the measurement uncertainty of the quantification of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and salicylic acid (SA), in an ASA samples, by a stability-indicating multivariate spectrophotometric procedure. The measurement uncertainties of ASA and SA were estimated by the top-down approach, using the Nordtest/ISO 11352 and VAM Project methodologies, and by the bottom-up approach, using the Monte Carlo method (MCM). The calculation of measurement uncertainty considered uncertainty sources related to the preparation of sample and standard solutions and the impact of these sources on the model obtained by partial least squares (PLS). The uncertainty of the spectra was estimated by bootstrap resampling method. The expanded uncertainties estimated for ASA were 3.7%, 4.1% and 3.7% calculated by MCM, Nordtest/ISO 11352 and VAM Project, respectively. The expanded uncertainties estimated for SA considering the concentration range from 2.67 to 6.67 μg/mL were 0.25, 0.36 and 0.35 μg/mL and for the concentration range from 6.67 to 18.67 μg/mL were 5.3%, 5.3% and 6.0% calculated by MCM, Nordtest/ISO 11352 respectively. It was concluded that the developed methodology allows to estimate the measurement uncertainty of a multivariate spectrophotometric analytical procedure by bottom-up and top-down approaches.

Application of the Kinematic Assessment of Multi-Faced Slopes Using Stereographic Projection: The Case Study of a Planar Failure on the Spondylus Coast, Ecuador

This manuscript presents a relevant practical application of the stability analysis of multi-face slopes that uses the concept of the restricted daylight envelope in multi-faced slopes (MFS). The methodology was applied to the back analysis of a case study of a failed slope in mudstones and sandstones on the Spondylus coast in Ecuador. The instabilities analyzed included several rock cliffs with dihedral rock faces in mudstones. It is interesting to analyze the failure mechanism of these natural coastal slopes because, on the Spondylus coast, several hotels and tourist spots are located near the upper parts of some similar regions. The stereographic projection methodology can simulate complex geometries and simplify the analysis.

Analyzing interconnected processes: using object-centric process mining to analyze procurement processes

AbstractThe purchase-to-pay (P2P) process is one of the core business processes in any organization. It ensures the correct and efficient provisioning of materials and services. An efficient P2P process reduces operational costs by ensuring discounts, avoiding late payments, and choosing the optimal supplier for the goods. Process mining techniques help practitioners optimize the execution of P2P processes by analyzing the execution data and providing useful insights. However, existing techniques may result in misleading insights due to many-to-many relationships between business objects, e.g., between orders and invoices in the P2P process. Recently, object-centric process mining techniques have been proposed to avoid the limitations of traditional process mining techniques. In this paper, we present a case study on a real-life P2P process using object-centric process mining techniques. To that end, we adopt the well-known PM$$^{2}$$ 2 process mining project methodology to the object-centric setting and analyze the performance and compliance.

The authors of the article present the results of scientific and practical research on the development of methods of primary assessment of the efficiency of payback infrastructure projects public-private partnerships achieved through the monitoring and analysis of the state company’s investment activities and project portfolio management. The purpose of this study is to develop methodology for preliminary evaluation of payback infrastructure projects, that is able to be used to evaluate efficiency of capital investment at the stage of initial project appraisal and planning and to range perspective projects in accordance with their efficiency. The subject of the article: efficiency of payback investment projects in the infrastructure industry. The relevance of the study is determined by absence of a generally accepted methodology for initial evaluation of investment projects, that allows for into consideration the legal and economic specifics of federal projects approval and implementation in the regions of Russia. The methodology formed on the basis of an interdisciplinary approach implemented in the course of approval and evaluation practice of investment projects appraisal within the framework of the activities of a state-owned company. The instrumentation reviewed in this paper is based on data from financial modeling of infrastructure projects, with preliminary geographical modeling of traffic flow intensity. It includes the following modified indicators based on discounted cash flows: consolidated coverage ratio, ratio of operating income to capital investment, share of extrabudgetary funding in the life cycle of a project, internal rate of return. These indicators are unified into a single integral indicator, which allows to rank and manage future projects in a company’s portfolio. The applicability of the proposed methodology has been verified by the results of implementation of the public-private partnership projects. Based on the results of the study a financial model for initial assessment of project efficiency has been prepared, which can be used as the initial stage of project justification.

Quality Tools and Their Applications in Industry

Almost all quality improvement methods require data collection and analysis to solve quality problems. The combination of six sigma and agile creates a six sigma agile methodology that aims to reach quality levels according to the Six Sigma requirements of 3.4 defects per million measurements. In order to achieve these objectives, it is necessary to know the industry well and implicitly the product or the analysed process. Thus, the correctness of these analyses depends on the collection of the data that will be analysed. The use of data analysis methods at each stage, especially in the measurement and analysis stages, is critically important for making strong decisions. The purpose of this article is to present the added value of the integration of six sigma and agile methodologies for IT projects. Thus, the integration of the two methodologies will lead to faster decision-making without the risk of an increase in the number of failures.

Post-evaluation analysis on urban coal, oil and gas resources comprehensive utilization governance project: A case study in Fuxian, China

China's energy and chemical enterprises in the resource-based urban cities face challenges of climate change targets. Coal, Oil and Gas Resources Comprehensive Utilization (COGRCU) project can address the carbon and hydrogen imbalance between conventional methanol from coal and natural gas. Moreover, it can improve energy conversion rates and carbon resource recovery. Therefore, it is a better way for energy and chemical enterprises to transition to sustainable development and advocated by enterprises in resource-based cities. In practice, the actual benefits of the COGRCU project are often different from those expected from prior assessments, and the main factors contributing to the differences need to be identified. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a post-evaluation methodology for the COGRCU project to assist energy and chemical enterprises in identifying these constraints and optimize project management. This study considers energy and monetary flows, combines emergy-based energy return on investment (EmEROI) and cost-benefit analysis (CBA), and proposes a post-evaluation methodology of the COGRCU project based on the case study of YC Group's Fuxian COGRCU project in Fuxian County. In addition, the emergy per unit money, emergy per unit labor, and bio-resources emergy per unit area of Yan'an City are measured. Results showed that indirect energy and labor input emergy are the primary contributors to improving the projects' energy efficiency. Operating costs reduction are the key factors for improving economic benefits. The indirect energy has the highest impact on the project's EmEROI, followed by labor, direct energy, and environmental governance. Several policy recommendations are raised, including strengthening policy support, such as advancing the formulation and revision of fiscal and tax policies, improving project assets and human resource management, and increasing environmental governance efforts.

ON THE PROBLEM OF IMPROVING THE PROCEDURAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE MARKET APPROACH TO DETERMINING THE COST OF DESIGN AND SCIENTIFIC DESIGN WORK

In many cases, construction objects differ in size, total area, number of floors, and materials used to manufacture structural elements, which leads to certain peculiarities in the pricing mechanism in construction, in particular in design and scientific design works. Construction objects according to a typical project will not have the same value depending on the location and local conditions of the construction site. In recent years, significant transformations have taken place in Ukraine in the field of pricing and assessment of the value of investment projects and programs. The development of market relations in Ukraine made it necessary to develop a modern methodology of pricing and cost management in construction, in particular, in determining the cost of design and scientific-project works, taking into account the best world experience and international standards. The efforts of many scientists and practitioners of Ukraine and abroad are aimed at solving this problem. The need to estimate the cost, design and scientific design works, as well as the construction of the object in general, arises in the early stages. However, at this stage, only approximate costs are determined, and as investigations are carried out and information is accumulated, new opportunities appear for calculating a more accurate estimate of the cost of the objects being designed. Therefore, the calculation of the cost of project works is mainly carried out individually according to the estimate, which specifies the scope of work, estimates, construction equipment and methods for specific types of work. Emphasizing the problems of the pricing system of project and scientific project works in our country, the organizational and economic problems of reducing the cost of investment and construction projects are considered. Including, by improving the efficiency of competitive selection of Investors, Contractors (construction agencies) and Suppliers of project products. An important issue is the issue of a comparative (market) approach to pricing in construction, in particular for design and research and design services. The market price is the prevailing price paid for project services in the project market for the relevant period in the sales process, regardless of the Manufacturer's individual costs. In the macroeconomic plan, prices are considered as the most important strategic criterion characterizing the market situation. Price changes are influenced by a number of price-forming factors. The basis of calculation procedures is the introduction of corrections for discrepancies between the object being evaluated and similar objects, the value of which is known. The same adjustments are permissible for a certain average market value. A significant problem remains the low level of practical use of project methodology. If the pricing policy is not properly formed, the project enterprise will not be able to achieve the intended goals; therefore, special attention should be paid to this issue.

THE ROLE OF PROJECT METHODS IN REVEALING CREATIVITY OF ENGLISH TEACHER

This research paper gives information about the basics of project methodology’s provisions, and various prospects of applying project methods in English language classes in universities, especially as one of the means of establishing cross-cultural competence. Nowadays, traditional methods and approaches are opposed to project activities, in the project method, the central figures are the students, only the teacher assists and he/she is a correspondent in the procedure. Project methods encourage learners to deal with real-life problems and improve the advancement of learner autonomy. The applicable establishment of project methods in the English classroom environment is available only via a complicated analysis of the curriculum of the training field, the material design of the educational content in consideration of the age, the foreign communicational skills, level of the learners, professional establishment of cognitive tasks of the learners while teaching and individual work, applying of ICT in the educational procedure.
