Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerged as an intervention for data and number-related problems. This breakthrough has led to several technological advancements in virtually all fields from engineering to architecture, education, accounting, business, health, and so on. AI has come a long way in healthcare, having played significant roles in data and information storage and management – such as patient medical histories, medicine stocks, sale records, and so on; automated machines; software and computer applications like diagnostic tools such as MRI radiation technology, CT diagnosis and many more have all been created to aid and simplify healthcare measures. Inarguably, AI has revolutionized healthcare to be more effective and efficient and the pharmacy sector is not left out. During the past few years, a considerable amount of increasing interest in the uses of AI technology has been identified for analyzing as well as interpreting some important fields of pharmacy like drug discovery, dosage form designing, polypharmacology, and hospital pharmacy. Given the growing importance of AI, we wanted to create a comprehensive report which helps every practicing pharmacist understand the biggest breakthroughs which are assisted by the deployment of this field.
Сучасне бізнес-середовище характеризується високим рівнем податкової невизначеності, спричиненої частими змінами законодавства, що зумовлює суттєві податкові ризики для підприємств. Ефективне управління цими ризиками потребує комплексної інтеграції податкового консалтингу у систему ризик-менеджменту підприємства. Метою дослідження є обґрунтування ролі податкового консалтингу як інструменту діагностики, профілактики та мінімізації податкових ризиків бізнесу. Дослідження спрямоване на визначення напрямів інтеграції податкового консалтингу у систему управління податковими ризиками підприємства. Методологічну основу становлять сукупність загальнонаукових і спеціальних методів дослідження. Податковий консалтинг розглядається як багатофункціональний інструмент, що поєднує правові, фінансові та управлінські аспекти для зниження податкових ризиків. Висунуто гіпотезу про необхідність інтеграції консалтингу з цифровими технологіями для підвищення ефективності діагностики податкових ризиків. Виявлено дуальність природи податкових ризиків, які можна розглядати як з позиції платників податків, так і держави. Систематизовано основні функції податкового консалтингу у зниженні податкових ризиків: інформаційно-аналітичну, консультативно-правову, планувальну, супровідну та профілактичну. Розроблено класифікацію методів попередження та мінімізації податкових ризиків, що включає податкове планування, оптимізацію звітності, систему внутрішнього контролю, податкове страхування, перевірку контрагентів та взаємну співпрацю з податковими органами. Доведено, що ефективне управління податковими ризиками неможливе без професійної підтримки консалтингу, який поєднує юридичну експертизу, фінансово-аналітичний супровід та впровадження систем внутрішнього контролю. Результати дослідження доповнюють існуючі теоретичні моделі податкових ризиків управлінським виміром, розкриваючи механізми активного впливу консультанта через планування, аудит та внутрішній контроль. Розроблені рекомендації щодо інтеграції консалтингу у систему податкового менеджменту сприятимуть підвищенню податкової безпеки бізнесу та зменшенню конфліктів із контролюючими органами. Перспективи подальших досліджень полягають у кількісному вимірюванні ефективності податкового консалтингу та вивченні можливостей цифрової трансформації консалтингу з використанням інструментів штучного інтелекту. Обмеженням дослідження є недостатня кількісна емпірична база щодо ефективності податкового консалтингу в Україні. Тип статті – теоретична.

Since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Georgia has sought to revive its wine’s international reputation, diversify wine export destinations, and attract Western wine-loving tourists. Although much still needs to be done to decrease dependence on the Russian market and translate the aspirations into reality, Georgia has progressed in pivoting to the West. The country marketed as the Cradle of Wine has prioritized a Western orientation and holds the prospect of becoming a player in the global wine market. The recommendations provided in this paper are intended to solidify this prospect and break down barriers to entering Western wine and tourism markets. Effective promotion of Georgian wines, the cross-fertilization of wine production and wine and food tourism, and the development of domestic skills and international partnerships should go together with balancing various wine and tourist options. Export diversification should also involve complementing Georgian tradition with innovation, building on Western expertise and funding, and emphasizing premium-level wines, including natural wines.

In the realm of retail supply chain management, accurate forecasting is paramount for informed decision making, as it directly impacts business operations and profitability. This study delves into the application of tree-based ensemble forecasting, specifically using extra tree Regressors (ETRs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. Utilizing over six years of historical demand data from a prominent retail entity, the dataset encompasses daily demand metrics for more than 330 products, totaling 5.2 million records. Additionally, external variables, such as meteorological and COVID-19-related data, are integrated into the analysis. Our evaluation, spanning three perishable product categories, reveals that the ETR model outperforms LSTM in metrics including MAPE, MAE, RMSE, and R2. This disparity in performance is particularly pronounced for fresh meat products, whereas it is marginal for fruit products. These ETR results were evaluated alongside three other tree-based ensemble methods, namely XGBoost, Random Forest Regression (RFR), and Gradient Boosting Regression (GBR). The comparable performance across these four tree-based ensemble techniques serves to reinforce their comparative analysis with LSTM-based deep learning models. Our findings pave the way for future studies to assess the comparative efficacy of tree-based ensembles and deep learning techniques across varying forecasting horizons, such as short-, medium-, and long-term predictions.

Improving patient care has become a priority for all healthcare providers, with the
overall goal of achieving a high degree of patient satisfaction. The quality of patient care is
essentially determined by the quality of the infrastructure, the quality of training, the
competence of the staff and the efficiency of the operating systems. Staff constraints often
compromise the quality of care. This can be corrected by introducing efficient and coherent
human resources management policies. The capacity of hospitals to provide quality health
care to all patients is based on competence, work and commitment. The medical challenges
of recent years make it necessary to renew the approach to human resources management,
seen as a major factor in organizational performance. The paper aims to analyse from a
theoretical point of view the management of human resources as the main factor of
increasing the performance of public hospitals. The article analyses the challenges of
human resources management, the strategic management of human resources, the
particularities of hospital services, the satisfaction and motivation of employees at the
hospital workplace. Finally, a series of findings on the issue addressed are presented,
highlighting a series of challenges on modernizing human resources policy in public
hospitals.

ABSTRACT Corporate archives represent the primary source material for business and management historians. Given that many of the most extensive and important business archives are held and managed by the corporations that generated them, maintaining corporate ‘buy-in’ to preserving records and making archives available to researchers is vital to our discipline. However, corporate archives have to justify their existence and are under increasing pressure to demonstrate the value of their function (and, by implication, their records). Meanwhile, corporate archivists often find it particularly difficult to assess, and demonstrate, the value of their collections for academics and other external stakeholders. This article discusses an initiative to provide academic evaluations of the archival resources of companies that were considering increasing the accessibility of their records for external users. The original idea was a response to a request from Marks and Spencer plc for an academic evaluation of their archives, the success of which led to similar evaluations for BT plc and Boots plc. We outline the criteria by which these firms’ archives were assessed, together with how the evaluations informed subsequent decisions regarding the future development of their archives, assisted the firms in gaining external accreditations for their heritage resources, and supported initiatives to boost access, either physically and/or online. We also briefly consider one further consequence of the increased investment in archival resources following these initiatives – the wider interest in, and use of, the archives within the companies concerned – to support a range of business functions and draw on the strengths of their heritage and corporate culture.

The concept of entrepreneurship has become popular in different countries such as Vietnam and Poland. However, there are few comparative researches on entrepreneurial intention and migration attitudes among students in two countries. The purpose of this study is to show a comparative analysis of some issues related to entrepreneurial intention and migration attitudes such as willingness to take the risks, knowledge about the market, competitors, financial resources, factors effecting on entrepreneurial intention, circumstance and the purpose of going abroad among students in Vietnam and Poland. The study employs quantitative analyses by utilizing some tools of descriptive statistics and Mann Whitney U-Test through SPSS 20.0 to show the differences of factors affecting on intention to start up a business and migration attitudes between Vietnamese and Polish students. The research results show that although the demographic layout of students in two countries was rather similar, there were some differences in 12 out of 17 factors influencing on entrepreneurial intention of Vietnamese and Polish students. In terms of migration attitudes, almost all Vietnamese and Polish students were interested in going abroad to find a job and only minor proportion of them planned to run a business abroad.
This study examines effect of transformational leadership (TFL) on work motivation in Vietnam, through the mediating role of employee emotions (expressed by the effect of leader on employee satisfaction). This paper considers employee motivation using independent and intermediate varia-bles characterizing individuals and organizations. In order to find relationships between the selected variables, and to evaluate the role of the mediator, a technique of Explore Factor Analysis method (EFA) is sued with primary data collected from 286 among 317 employees currently working using regression models and 500 bootstrapping samples in order to quantify the role of the mediator. For the purposes of the analysis, the structural equation modelling (SEM) method was efficiency applied. The quantitative research was conducted in SMEs selected by stratification technique. In both cases the outcomes are significantly determined by employees’ motivation. This practical model demonstrates an influential relationship between TFL and work motivation. The study provides proof that the relations of transformational leadership have been shown to have a direct indirect influence on employee motivation, in which the mediator is the satisfaction which has direct impact on work motivation. The results of the research show strong evidences for policy makers and enterprises for management at SMEs as well as it contributes to literature review of behavior organization. Findings also strongly show implied solutions which would support for Vietnamese SMEs to improve stable job performance.

Credit risk management (CRM) is to identify, measure, monitor, and control risk arising from the possibility of default in payments. Existing CRM tools available for large financial institutions do not meet the requirements of rural commercial banks (RCBs) because their main customers are SMEs and farming households whose financial data and credit rating records are not available. RCBs in China also expose specific risks connected to rural commercial banking business and in particular farming-related loans and services. Adopting a qualitative analysis approach to identify key factors contributing to failures of RCBs’ customers, we endeavour to develop a CRM framework for RCBs in China. The framework, which is based on the identification of business failures of RCBs’ customers and factors contributing to failures of SMEs and farming households, incorporates financial and non-financial variables. Using nonfinancial variables along with financial variables as predictors of company failure significantly improves credit analysis quality and accuracy. Also, this study recognises guanxi1 as risk potentials and includes guanxi risks in the framework. This study has made contributions to the extant literature on CRM of banks in general and RCBs in particular.
