Comparison of Pharmacy Websites: An Integrated Approach Based on Consumer Perception and Technical Parameters

Abstract The development of e-commerce requires the strengthening of this component of the pharmaceutical business while providing the population with medicines. Improving the operation of pharmacy websites is an important task with a significant marketing effect. The purpose of the study is to identify errors on pharmacy websites that worsen their usability and communicative qualities when interacting with visitors, to offer an approach based on a joint assessment of consumer perception and technical parameters, and to carry out calculations for a comparative analysis of such sites functional and technical components using a multi-criteria approach. The objectives of the study were to analyze the Internet trade in medicines, to determine the criteria for comparison of pharmacy sites, to develop a model for website evaluation, and to analyze the results of site quality estimation. Multicriteria comparison with different importance of criteria was used as the methodology to evaluate the usability of sites for online buyers of pharmaceutical products. As result two main components of the quality of pharmacy sites are identified: user interface and technical characteristics. The parameters of site evaluation for these components are described, and evaluation is performed. A computer model in Excel has been developed. The proposed approach and the program allow for assessing pharmacy sites’ quality, comparing their marketing opportunities, directions to improve functionality, pharmaceutical services, and business position of pharmacies. The described steps for website estimations can be used not only in pharmaceutical services but for wide kinds of sites for e-commerce.

The modern digital economy model is based on making decisions based on the use of large volumes of data available on the Internet. Cookies are one of the most common ways of using data on the Internet. Cookies, in addition to ensuring the normal operation of websites, provide an opportunity to analyze users’ behavior in order to make decisions for commercial purposes. Considering the huge amount of data analyzed, cookies pose a serious threat to the rights of individuals, in particular, the rights to the protection of personal data and the right to privacy. In order to neutralize the abovementioned dangers, several countries have adopted legislative acts, which are meant to regulate the use of cookies. Considering the lack of studies on the issue discussed in the Armenian doctrine, the first part of this article is intended to reveal the nature of cookies as a technological phenomena, their role and their significance in the modern era of digitalization. The authors present the classification of cookies, highlighting their relevance to user rights. It is followed by the study of the concept of cookies as a legal phenomenon, as well as the relationship between cookies and personal data. The second part of the work is designed to discuss the guarantees that protect the rights of individuals to their personal data protection and privacy in the case of using cookies on the Internet. In particular, the work deeply examines the procedure for obtaining consent for the installation of cookies, as well as finds out the entities that are responsible for obtaining such consent from users. The article discusses the above-mentioned issues from the point of view of regulation in RA law, and also relies on the study of EU and French laws to the extent that it will help to identify the discussed issues and present their solutions.

Optimization of Load Balancing Algorithms to Deal with Ddos Attacks Using Whale ‎optimization Algorithm

Load balancing algorithms are used to deal with DDoS attacks to identify the optimal server and are responsible for the optimal allocation of requests to the servers. The managing method of the distribution of the requests between servers directly impacts network performance. Denial of service (DDoS) attacks are malicious attempts to interrupt regular operation or network traffic in a targeted manner, making disturbances in internet traffic by disrupting the infrastructure of different servers and thus causing problems such as slow site performance. This paper addresses the optimization of load balancing algorithms to deal with DDoS attacks using Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) with other closest algorithms (Round-Robin (RR), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Genetic Algorithms (GA)). The results obtained from implementing these algorithms showed that the WOA performed better than other algorithms in term of speed up the response time to client requests. The whale optimization algorithm can prevent unexpected traffic and block the regular operation of Internet websites by providing a proper plan for distributing requests between servers and reducing the average response speed. So, the authors can prevent DDoS attacks by applying the whale optimization algorithm. It necessary be noted that the use of HAProxy to prevent DDoS is not enough, and depending on the type of attack, several layers of software and hardware security necessary be used

Problems of improving the legislative activity

The article, based on the outline of existing shortcomings in the legislative activity of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, examines the problematic issues of improving the legislative activity of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, substantiates the need to continue parliamentary reform in general communication strategy, strategy for building the human resources of the parliament. First of all, attention is paid to the problem of redundancy of legislative regulation of public relations in the field of business, economy in general, construction, land legislation, labor relations and others and measures aimed at overcoming this negative phenomenon. It is proposed to specify the provisions of the Regulations on the requirement for developers to comply with the minimum adequacy of legislative intervention in public relations, to formalize the requirements for parliamentary competence, simplification and the need to generalize legal regulation, minimize parliamentary interference in existing legal relations, its possible alternatives from the new law, proximity and understanding to citizens, the need for state control, the legitimacy of restrictions on the rights and freedoms of citizens and the possible minimization of conflicts of interest.The issue of shortcomings in the political coordination of bills is considered, given the weak consensus nature of the Ukrainian parliament, the corresponding need to resolve the status of a parliamentary minority. The need to increase the role of committees in the legislative process, improve the mechanisms of interaction of the main committee on the bill with other committees, increase the transparency of parliamentary committees and parliament in general through the creation and better operation of websites of committees, publication of conclusions on bills submitted by the government. scientific institutions, public organizations at the request of relevant parliamentary committees.Proposals are made to increase the systemic nature of the draft law and to amend the current legislation accordingly, including planning on the basis of the optimal ratio of existing short-term, medium-term and long-term draft law plans for three, five years and more.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ РОЗВИТКУ ЦИФРОВОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ УКРАЇНИ ТА ЄС

The digital economy is a worldwide network of economic activity, commercial operations, and professional interactions, which are ensured by the implementation of information and communication technologies. Ukraine, in the process of integration into the world community, does not stand aside from global transformations and is also experiencing a digital transformation based on the introduction of digital technologies for business transformation. This is achieved by replacing manual (non-digital) processes with digital ones or replacing outdated digital technology with updated digital technology. The digital economy reflects the transition from the third industrial revolution to the fourth industrial revolution. That is why the purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the features of the use of information and communication technologies by enterprises of the European Union and Ukraine, as a key aspect of the digital transformation of business and the development of the digital economy. This article presents statistical data on several different aspects of the development of the digital economy of the European Union and Ukraine. It has been established that the basis of the digital economy is hyper-connection with enterprises’ use of the Internet. In particular, a comparative analysis of statistical data on the use of the Internet by enterprises was carried out, in particular, the availability of access to it, since the use of other more advanced technologies at enterprises often depends on high Internet speed. The functional capabilities of enterprise websites were studied and it was found that Ukrainian enterprises need to intensify their activities in the online environment by improving the operation of websites. E-business integration means the use of information and communication technologies by enterprises to launch, integrate and improve their business processes, internal information exchange, or communication with business partners and customers. The study also reflects the implementation of some advanced technologies in enterprises of the European Union and Ukraine, namely cloud computing. It was established that the share of the number of enterprises in Ukraine buying cloud computing services, by types of cloud computing services with distribution by the number of employed workers, is quite small compared to enterprises of the EU region. In general, Ukrainian enterprises are significantly behind the level of technological development and implementation of information and communication technologies compared to European ones. Prospects for research in this direction include a detailed comparative analysis of the implementation of some advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence by EU and Ukrainian enterprises, as well as the impact of their implementation on increasing the turnover of Internet trade enterprises.

Analysis and Design of Activity Degree Monitoring Algorithm

DAU (Daily Active User) is the number of daily active users, often used to reflect the operation of websites, Internet APPs and games [1]. DAU usually counts the number of users who have logged in or used a product (removing users who are repeatedly logged in) within one day (statistical day), which is similar to the concept of visitors (UV) in the traffic statistics tool. As we all know, the revenue source of some Internet applications lies in the revenue of advertising, and the amount of advertising revenue depends on the size of DAU. Therefore, the design strategy and algorithm to monitor the fluctuations of DAU can better help people analyze and improve our products, thus bringing improvements to the products. Therefore, this paper will design a variety of algorithm construction models to monitor the fluctuation of DAU, and achieve alarm announcement, analysis and location of the abnormal fluctuation of DAU, so as to explore of the value of DAU.

Програми інформатизації як складова механізму впровадження електронного урядування: порівняльна характеристика міст

Today, the key component of development in the system of public administration is the introduction of elements of e-government at all stages of interaction between government agencies and the public. One of the most important elements of e-government is the broad informatization of public life, because, at present, the information resource is no less important in the field of municipal government than material, labor, energy, financial or other resources. Therefore, the main purpose of the article is to compare the characteristics of the public information program at the local level. We found out that the most important method of informing the public and ensuring communication between government and the public is the operation of official websites. We have determined that the most important indicators of openness and transparency of a government are such as information content of the website, the availability of controls, the possibility of feedback, the interactivity of the site, the availability of information in different languages, search engines, the clear grouping of messages, «hashtagging», the display of relevant information not only on websites, but also on official pages in social networks. As a result of the research, we come to the conclusion that websites are an official source of informing the public about past and future events of the city, actions of the city authorities, their plans and prospects. At the same time, the website is the main source that can ensure the participation of citizens in the life of the city. Modern versions of official websites are aimed not only at informing, but also at communicating with the public, the possibility of receiving answers, comments, remarks and suggestions, taking into account physiological features, nationalities, etc.

An Evaluation Study of Dementia Information Providing Websites in Korea

The present study purposed to investigate and analyze domestic websites providing information about dementia and to suggest future directions for the development of dementia-related websites. For this purpose, the researcher selected 13 domestic websites that were available in November and December 2004, and evaluated them in terms of construction, operation, accessibility and contents on a scale 4 point (0~3). The construction of dementia-related websites got 6-13 out of 18 points, which suggests that management policies for the operation of dementia-related websites are inadequate. The operation of dementia-related websites got 7-15 out of 24 points. In particular, all 13 sites got a low score in the aspect of continuance. With regard to accessibility, the sites were evaluated on how easily users could access the sites and they got 2-8 out of 15 points. In evaluating contents, the sites got 9-18 out of 21 points with regard to the purpose and appropriateness of the contents. This shows that most sites did not provide diverse types of dementia-related information. Because it is highly advantageous to perform primary dementia-preventing management through websites, this study proposes to develop a website evaluation system in order to provide high quality dementia-related information.

Design and Management Techniques for Creating Web-Based Applications

The Web environment produces new challenges for Human Factor specialists who are transitioning their development organizations and clients from traditional software media to Web-based applications. While the Web offers new potential for deployment, its technical capabilities often limit techniques for user interaction and data manipulation PC-based GUIs offer. Conventions for operation of web applications are still ill-formed; concepts for website design rarely translate well to the design of task-based, enterprise-level applications; and stakeholders often mistake their own, idiosyncratic operation of websites as premises for effective design. This paper teaches practitioners techniques for creating or migrating software applications from traditional media to the Web, based on a case study of creating a web-access cargo management system. Discussion includes dealing with unrealistic visions of an application's operation in relation to the user population who will be operating it, developing alternatives to traditional forms of personnel training, and creating new controls and interaction schema.

Chips, Bits, and the Law: An Economic Geography of Internet Gambling

Online gambling offers valuable insights into the relationship between real and virtual places. Gambling in most countries is highly regulated, with its geography reflecting the licensing of gambling to specific activities and locations. The ability to use the Internet challenges the legal foundation for gambling by offering access in an efficient and private way from distant locations. The heaviest concentration of gambling websites is found in North America and the Caribbean, with the leading locations for gambling-domain-name registrations being the United States, Canada, Antigua and Barbuda, Costa Rica, the United Kingdom, and St Kitts and Nevis. In this paper I explore the location and operation of Internet-gambling websites, with emphasis on the legal and economic geography of this activity.

Information superhighway or billboards by the roadside? An analysis of hospital web sites.

To determine the prevalence of hospital web sites, the types of information provided within these sites, and the relationship of information to institutional characteristics. Online search of hospital web sites over a 6-week period in late 1999. Web sites were abstracted for content. Bivariate comparisons were made of hospital profit status and ownership or operation by a multihospital network. California acute care hospitals and their web sites. Operation of web sites and web site content. Among 390 California hospitals, 242 (62%) had easily identifiable web sites, 59 (15%) had no web sites, and 89 (23%) had sites identified only after telephone follow-up. Hospitals without sites were more likely not-for-profit, small, rural, or unaffiliated. The presentation of information was inconsistent, although most (93%) provided basic contact information. Many hospitals provided health content information (70%) or mentioned health classes (65%), but few guaranteed the quality of this information. Patient care features (online health profiles, risk identification, e-mail) were infrequent (13%) and rudimentary. Product advertising was frequent (54%) but was often nonhealth-related and unobtrusive. Of the 36% of hospitals that reported information on quality, few of the designated measures were valid and reliable measures of quality. Overall, 21% of hospitals reported accreditation (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) status, and for-profit hospital web sites were more likely to report this accreditation. [corrected] Consumers should be aware of current limitations in using information on hospital web sites. In the future, hospitals may better realize the potential of web sites for the delivery of health care information and patient care.

The implications of intellectual property law for the auditing and protection of national and international brands: Part I. Brands in cyberspace

Examines the current protection afforded to brand owners within the realms of cyberspace, specifically the World Wide Web. Trade mark law currently provides a benchmark for the law and its attempt to regulate the problematical operation of Internet addresses and Web sites. These commercial sites can be contacted by potential customers through the operation of “Internet domain names”. It is the abuse of these valuable domain names, however, that has aroused considerable controversy for brand owners over recent years. In particular, the apparently powerful terrestrial brands have proved easy targets as cyberbrands – for those rather unscrupulous individuals seeking to take advantage of considerable brand goodwill by placing them on the Internet, only to ransom to the highest bidder, often the (terrestrially) “legitimate owners”. Brand owners must remain vigilant, and this article analyses the curent situation and offers sensible and practical advice for those seeking safe and cost‐effective brand exposure on the Information SuperHighway.
