A DATA-DRIVEN MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION SUPPORT MODEL FOR ANALYZING SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT OF OECD COUNTRIES
In the global science ecosystem, countries' academic outputs are a key determinant of their strategic development level. The aim of this study is to examine the development dynamics of higher education systems over a period of approximately thirty years using integrated decision analytics. The scientific dynamics of OECD countries between 1996 and 2024 were analyzed using integrated LODECI and RAWEC methods based on the SCIMAGO database. The study compares long-term trends with current data from 2024 from a comparative perspective. The criterion weighting analysis conducted with LODECI determined that the Citations criterion is the most important determinant of academic competitiveness. This finding shows that the positioning of higher education institutions at the national and international levels is shaped in the context of scientific impact and productivity, beyond mere quantity. Countries were ranked according to their performance by integrating the weights into the RAWEC method. This study, which synthesizes innovative MCDM methods with long-term data, offers a unique methodological framework for analyzing countries' scientific development.

AN INTERVAL-VALUED SPHERICAL FUZZY SWARA-CRADIS APPROACH TO STRATEGIC PROBLEM-SOLVING IN LOCAL MEDIA BUSINESSES
This research aims to identify the key challenges faced by local media businesses, assess their severity, and propose strategic solutions. As social media and technological advancements continue to transform the media landscape, local media organizations are struggling with a wide range of problems. However, most existing strategies have failed to achieve their intended outcomes. The study employs a two-stage data collection process conducted in Artvin province, Turkey. In the first stage, the main challenges and potential strategic solutions were identified based on expert opinions. The problems of local media companies were categorized under the following dimensions: economic issues, technological and digital infrastructure, employment and skilled personnel shortages, structural and institutional challenges, legal and administrative barriers, content production and journalistic quality, distribution and accessibility, and media–political relations and ethical concerns. In the second stage, these problems and strategic solution proposals were evaluated based on experts’ assessments using the Interval-Valued Spherical Fuzzy SWARA-CRADIS methodology. The findings indicate that local media businesses struggle not only with limited economic resources but also with difficult working conditions, insufficient leave, excessive workloads, and the migration of qualified personnel. The proposed strategic solutions focus on strengthening legal and regulatory support, focusing on local community engagement, and enhancing accessibility and content diversity.

FACTORS INFLUENCING INDIVIDUAL SAVING BEHAVIOR: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Saving is crucial for financial stability and economic growth. However, many struggles to balance saving and spending due to low financial literacy and insufficient income. This study examined the factors that influence saving behavior of individuals in the Philippines to address barriers to effective saving habits. Specifically, this research aims to fill the gap in identifying the factors influencing saving behavior among Filipinos. Using a qualitative methodology, the study systematically reviewed and compared prior literature's methodologies, objectives, and findings, to identify significant and common factors influencing saving habits. The results showed the factors influencing saving behavior are as follows: parental socialization, financial literacy, self-control, and peer influence; sociodemographic factors including education, income and gender, family background, attitude, financial literacy, and locality, financial attitude toward saving and self-efficacy. Furthermore, this research may help address issues that result in Filipinos not having enough income to set aside savings. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of saving as it can impact a nation's growth by contributing to capital accumulation, financial resilience, and economic stability, driving long-term growth, and reducing the vulnerability of the Philippine economy to external shocks.
THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DECISION-MAKING AND INNOVATION IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Artificial intelligence is changing how organizations develop products and make decisions. This literature review shows that AI is now a key driver for innovation and efficiency in product management. Companies use AI tools to improve every stage of the product lifecycle, from idea creation to final delivery and ongoing updates. AI helps managers analyze large sets of data, predict market trends, and speed up decision processes. Instead of replacing people, AI often supports human work by allowing teams to solve complex problems and test new ideas faster. However, successful AI adoption depends on quality data, organizational readiness, and clear strategies. Main challenges include technical questions, data trust, ethical issues, and staff training. Best practices highlight the importance of combining human expertise with AI tools, using agile methods, and developing transparent, responsible systems. Research gaps remain in understanding AI’s long-term effects, especially in non-digital sectors and on employee motivation. This review provides a structured overview of trends, challenges, and future research directions for AI in product management and decision-making.
THE DEVELOPMENT SCOPE AND PERSPECTIVES OF SOCIAL BONDS AS AN INNOVATIVE INSTRUMENT FOR FINANCING SOCIAL IMPACT
The paper analyzes the development, functioning mechanisms and prospects of social bonds as an innovative financial instrument aimed at achieving measurable social impact. Social bonds are based on a results-based financing model, in which private capital is mobilized for the implementation of projects of public importance, while the return on investment is paid only if predefined social outcomes are achieved. The paper discusses the key characteristics of social bonds, their advantages and limitations, with an analysis of international experiences and the implementation of different models. Special emphasis is placed on institutional prerequisites, the quality of performance measurement, the distribution of risks between actors and the importance of transparent evaluation. Through a review of available case studies, examples of the application of social bonds in the areas of employment of vulnerable groups, education, social protection and public health are presented. The findings suggest that social bonds can contribute to more efficient and sustainable financing of social policies, but their success depends on the regulatory framework, institutional capacity and the quality of available data. The paper provides a basis for assessing the feasibility of applying this instrument in developing countries and provides guidelines for future research. Keywords: Social bonds, innovative financial instruments, performance-based financing, social impact, public policies, sustainable financing, performance evaluation.
PRIORITIZATION OF CRITERIA FOR PRODUCTION PLANNING SOFTWARE SELECTION USING PICTURE FUZZY PIPRECIA METHOD: A CASE OF THE ORDU PROVİNCE
With technological transformation, businesses have begun to carry out more effective production planning and have increasingly needed production planning software programs for short-, medium-, and long-term planning activities. Research shows that production planning software provides significant benefits to businesses in various operational areas such as time management, workforce allocation, production scheduling, overtime control, and inventory management. In addition to enhancing operational efficiency, these software systems also contribute to reducing costs, using resources more effectively, and improving overall organizational performance. However, determining the criteria used in selecting the most suitable production planning software is crucial and requires careful consideration. Within the scope of this study, the criteria used in production planning software selection in manufacturing enterprises were identified and prioritized. For this purpose, the Picture Fuzzy PIPRECIA method was applied. According to the analysis results, among the criteria used in selecting production planning software in manufacturing enterprises, the most important criteria were identified as “Security” and “Reporting and Analysis,” while the least important criteria were found to be “Support and Training” and “Updating and Maintenance.
THE IMPACT OF DEMOGRAPHIC COMPOSITION IN UTKFACE AND APPA-REAL DATASETS ON FAIRNESS IN AGE ESTIMATION MODELS
This paper analyzes the impact of demographic composition on fairness in facial age estimation models trained on the UTKFace and APPA-REAL datasets. Building on previously published empirical results, the study provides a theoretical and analytical interpretation of how dataset imbalance affects model bias. Through comparative evaluation of group-wise performance metrics including Mean Absolute Error, Standard Deviation, Disparate Impact, and Equality of Opportunity, the paper introduces the concept of a Distributional Fairness Baseline (DFB) as a diagnostic framework for separating dataset-driven bias from model-induced bias. The analysis reveals that fairness is primarily a function of the representativeness and internal structure of training data, rather than model architecture. Contrary to common assumptions, full data equalization through oversampling does not necessarily enhance equity and may even amplify disparities due to overfitting and redundancy. Instead, moderate redistribution, particularly controlled undersampling of dominant groups often achieves an optimal balance between accuracy and fairness. These findings emphasize that equitable model performance depends on both quantitative and qualitative diversity within datasets, establishing data design as the central determinant of fairness in automated age estimation systems.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE DETERMINANTS AFFECTING THE PERFORMANCE OF MICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONS IN GHANA
Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) are crucial in providing services to the underprivileged, particularly those with limited incomes and the unorganized sector in a sustainable manner. In the Ghanaian business industry, these firms are primarily seen as vital institutions for progress against poverty and an excessive dependence on national and local governments. Thus, the goal of this study is to identify the factors affecting the performance of Microfinance institutions in Ghana. Multiple regression and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the secondary data gathered from the 133 MFIs in Ghana with SPSS. The study's conclusions showed that efficiency and liquidity have significantly positively impact on the firms' return on equity (ROE). Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and non-performing loans (NPL) had no statistically significant effect on the Microfinance institutions' performance (ROE). Additionally, the study discovered a significant positive effect of CAR on the performance of the return on assets (ROA) on the MFIs. However, liquidity, efficiency and NPL had no statistical significant impact on the performance (ROA) of the companies. The research contributes to literature on the studies conducted on MFIs in Ghana and practically assists in improving and enhancing their performance. This study also promotes ways on how the government and stakeholders can support MFIs for a long-term sustainability and the economic growth in the country.
MACHINE LEARNING: TECHNIQUES, APPLICATIONS, AND METRICS FOR ENHANCED VEHICLE PERFORMANCE
Machine learning allows systems to autonomously learn from data and improve performance without direct programming, providing robust tools for identifying patterns, forecasting outcomes, and optimising complex processes. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of machine learning, beginning with an examination of its core categories: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning. The review considers essential algorithms associated with each machine learning category, providing insights into their functions and real-world applications. The paper also discusses widely used evaluation metrics for regression models, including Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R-squared (R²), which are essential for assessing predictive performance and guiding model selection. The article examines numerous real-world applications of machine learning across various sectors, including healthcare, banking, transportation, marketing, and cybersecurity, illustrating how these technologies are transforming modern processes and delivering tangible benefits.
URBAN CLIMATE ACTION PLANS IN THE AGE OF CRISIS: PATHWAYS TO SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT CITIES
Cities are at the forefront of both contributing to and being affected by climate change. In order for cities to achieve sustainability and resilience, they need to develop policies against climate change. At this point, climate action plans come to the fore. This study investigates how urban climate action plans integrate risk management into spatial planning to promote sustainability and adaptive capacity. Focusing on five metropolitan cities (Bursa, Konya, Gaziantep, Copenhagen and New York), the study uses document analysis to assess mitigation targets, sectoral priorities and implementation frameworks. This study examines how local governments design and implement climate strategies within various regional and institutional frameworks. The analysis reveals a convergence around key themes such as energy transition, sustainable mobility and green infrastructure, despite administrative capacity and geographical differences. While Turkish municipalities, such as Konya and Gaziantep, have begun to emphasize climate adaptation, Bursa distinguishes itself with its relatively early strategic planning. In contrast, global cities such as Copenhagen and New York are disseminating practices against the impacts of climate change to society. By situating these examples in a comparative context, the study highlights the need for climate strategies that are both locally grounded and internationally best practice.

having a strong online presence through well-designed websites. This study aims to establish a comprehensive understanding of the key factors that contribute to website quality and their importance from the consumer's perspective. The main objectives of this research are to identify and prioritize these factors. To achieve this, a questionnaire was distributed among a younger demographic, and participants were asked to rate the importance of 11 parameters related to website quality. The data collected from the survey were analyzed using various statistical tests, including descriptive statistics, Chi-square independence test, and factor analysis. These tests were employed to rank the parameters, examine the influence of gender on respondents' answers, identify areas of disagreement among participants, and determine if certain parameters could be grouped together. The quality of a web page is greatly influenced by various features, including its layout, visual complexity, colorfulness, user-friendliness, speed of processing visitor requests, and reliability. To analyze these features, a feature vector was created. Conducted as exploratory descriptive research, this study utilized a survey to gather data from 117 participants across different social networks. The research encompasses both qualitative and quantitative stages. The qualitative phase aims to identify variables that impact consumer engagement in social commerce, while the quantitative phase involves data collection, validation, and analysis.
SECURITY AND DATA PROTECTION IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The development of artificial intelligence contributes to the digital transformation of the entire society, improving numerous processes, automation and better decision-making. In addition to the many opportunities it offers, it also brings with it great risks in data security. The problem is further complicated by unauthorized access to data processed by artificial intelligence models, data theft, ethical dilemmas and lack of algorithm transparency. This paper analyzes artificial intelligence through different fields and the problems it can cause. A special emphasis is on the research into user attitudes, which shows us what kind of knowledge respondents have about artificial intelligence and all the risks it can cause. The results help us to see what the biggest problems regarding the use of such models are. The work provides guidelines for minimizing risks and creating problems, while dictating the trend for responsible use of artificial intelligence for legally correct purposes.
Високоалпски регион северне Италије карактеришу јединствени екосистеми, сложено хидрогеолошко окружење, стрми топографски градијенти, разноврсност типова вегетације и пејсажних делова, и разноврсност климатских и метеоролошких фактора. Алпски екосистем је још сложенији када у саставу вегетације доминирају четинари, јер услови и правци подземних токова имају непредвидиве количине воде. Моделирање таквих екосистема захтева напредне алате програмирања и рачунарских приступа, као што је Питхон. Овај чланак је фокусиран на моделирање дистрибуираног водног биланса у алпским сливовима. Подручјем доминирају четинарске шуме (смрека, бор) са дрвећем различите старости (старо >200 година и младо, <30 година). Одабрано дрвеће прекривено је епихитима (лишајевима). За ефикасно планирање и управљање коришћењем водних ресурса, Питхон подржане процене и статистичко моделирање су неопходни приступи за праћење шума у ​​животној средини. Конкретно, највиша погодна просторна резолуција која се може постићи у проценама водног биланса процењује се у компликованом топографском окружењу Јужнотиролских Алпа са ограниченим познавањем физиографских фактора шума и метеоролошких варијабли (падавине, температура, влажност ваздуха).
Predictions across multiple disciplines rely on the efficacy of fundamental artificial neural networks, such as multilayer perceptron (MLP). Optimization is a key step in improving predictive performance of these models. In this study, a global nonlinear neural model was developed to predict the impact of using the digital technology in society, the economy and public administration on economic development. By conducting 17 experiments on the basic MLP neural network, authors investigated the effects of modifying the network architecture, learning rate and type of activation function. Standard measures of model errors and coefficient of determination were employed as criteria to prioritize configurations using the PROMETHEE II multi-criteria approach. The results reveal that models featuring two hidden layers, reduced learning speed and adequate activation functions achieve optimal performance with MSE16=0.012, RMSE16=0.110, MAPE16=12.186 and R²16=0.719. Conversely, too complex models complicate the learning process and lead to imprecise predictions as in the case of MSE5=0.019, RMSE5=0.138, MAPE5=17.225 and R²5=0.559. The results indicate the importance of adjusting the neural network hyperparameters to the nature of the research problem. Additionally, the study reveals the important role of MCDM in choosing the most adequate configuration when considering diverse criteria with different targets.
DIGITALISATION OPPORTUNITIES AS DRIVERS OF CONFIDENTIALITY RULES IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT: ORGANISATIONAL INFORMATION CULTURE AS A MODERATOR
As public procurement increasingly relies on digital systems, protecting sensitive procurement data becomes critical. Drawing on information security control theory (ISCT), this study examines the impact of digitalisation opportunities (DOP) on the enforcement of confidentiality rules in public procurement (CRP), with a specific focus on the moderating role of organisational information culture (OIC). The study employs a cross-sectional quantitative research design, collecting data from 218 procurement practitioners across public organisations in the Dodoma region, Tanzania. A structured questionnaire survey was employed to collect the data. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Hayes PROCESS Macro were used to test the model hypotheses. The results reveal that while DOP positively influence compliance with CRP. This relationship is significantly strengthened when the organisation exhibits a strong information culture. In contrast, a weak information culture diminishes the effectiveness of DOP in maintaining confidentiality. The results underscore the importance of synergies between technological systems and a strong security-conscious culture in safeguarding sensitive procurement information. This study contributes to the literature on public procurement, supply chain, and information management by integrating ISCT to explore how both technical and cultural factors influence confidentiality in public procurement processes. It provides new insights into the interplay between DOP and OIC, offering valuable guidance for policymakers and procurement practitioners in enhancing data security in public procurement processes.
ANALYSIS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL MARKETING IN ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS: THE CASE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA
Nowadays, entrepreneurship plays an important role in the development of economy in the Republic of Serbia. However, in order for entrepreneurial ideas to really come to life and become successful, it is necessary for entrepreneurs to have an effective marketing strategy that will help them gain recognition and attract customers. Precisely in this context, digital marketing has imposed itself as an unavoidable factor in modern entrepreneurship. The modern era of digital transformation has changed the way entrepreneurs approach marketing. Today, digital marketing is one of the most effective ways to gain recognition, increase sales and attract new customers. Entrepreneurs in the Republic of Serbia increasingly recognize the importance of digital marketing, and apply different digital marketing strategies to improve their business. The goal of this paper is to investigate the importance of applying digital marketing in entrepreneurship in the era of the new digital economy. Through the analysis that was conducted, it was determined that entrepreneurs in the Republic of Serbia attach great importance to digital marketing. It was also concluded that those entrepreneurs who have been in business longer and have a larger number of employees, at the same time attach more importance to digital marketing channels.

THE PERSPECTIVE OF GAS DISTRIBUTION FROM THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON THE WORLD MARKET
In recent years, the world has witnessed a concerning rise in unrest, causing considerable disruptions across multiple sectors. The Russian Federation's incursion into Ukraine has generated widespread consequences, affecting global production, trade, energy supplies, and inflation. European Union member states have been notably impacted, encountering difficulties in securing oil and gas supplies. As Germany and other EU countries contend with these challenges, particularly those arising from sanctions on Russia, the crisis holds the potential to pave the way for one of the most significant energy alliances in modern history. This development could strengthen and expand economic ties between Russia, a major global exporter of oil and gas, and China, one of the world's largest energy consumers. As these connections grow, a more pronounced political divide between the East and West is anticipated, underscored by extensive and strategic investments in infrastructure for the transportation, storage, and distribution of gas
Синергија техничке и фундаменталне анализе у предвиђању прекограничних токова капитала и алокације средстава
In an increasingly interconnected global financial landscape, investors seek effective strategies for managing portfolios across borders. This review paper examines the integration of Technical Analysis (TA) and Fundamental Analysis (FA) in forecasting cross-border capital flows, focusing on the unique contexts of Thailand, United Kingdom, and Japan. TA utilizes historical price data and indicators such as moving averages and Relative Strength Index (RSI) to inform short-term trading decisions (Murphy, 1999), while FA assesses the intrinsic value of securities based on economic indicators, financial health, and market conditions to guide long-term investment strategies (Graham & Dodd, 2009). By synthesizing existing literature, this paper highlights the theoretical frameworks that support the combined use of TA and FA, aiming to bridge the gap between immediate market movements and long-term economic fundamentals. The review identifies key studies that demonstrate the efficacy of integrating both approaches, suggesting that this combined methodology can enhance forecasting accuracy and improve investment outcomes. Through case studies of Thailand, United Kingdom, and Japan, the paper illustrates the practical applications of this combined analysis. In Thailand, local economic indicators and political events shape capital flows in the UK, macroeconomic factors such as Brexit and monetary policy play crucial roles and in Japan, unique market characteristics and technological advancements influence investor behavior. Ultimately, this review advocates for a holistic approach to investment analysis, emphasizing the need for further research into the synergistic effects of TA and FA in international portfolio management.

The effect of conventional bank credit, Islamic bank financing, and Zakat distribution on GDP
The growth of gross domestic product (GDP) is subject to a number of different influences. The objective of this study is to analyse the impact of conventional bank credit, Islamic bank financing and zakat distribution on gross domestic product. The study employs a sample comprising data from 33 provinces in Indonesia, spanning the period from 2018 to 2022. The data analysis technique employed is dynamic panel data regression utilising the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) method. The findings indicated that partial conventional bank credit and zakat distribution exerted a notable positive influence on GDP. In contrast, the impact of Islamic bank financing on GDP is not statistically significant. This is due to the fact that the market share of Islamic banking in Indonesia remains relatively low, and access to financing in this sector is also still quite complex. Concurrently, conventional bank credit, Islamic bank financing, and zakat distribution exert a significant influence on GDP. The findings of this study suggest that the financing provided by Islamic banks has not yet been fully capable of boosting GDP, given that the share of Islamic bank financing in Indonesia remains relatively modest in comparison to conventional banks. Consequently, the results of this study can be utilized to inform the development of programs and policies for relevant stakeholders.
