MODERN CHALLENGES TO THE MANAGEMENT OF INNOVATION AND COMPETITIVENESS OF ORGANIZATIONS IN THE FIELD OF MEDICAL SERVICES
Get PDFThe latest realities of development of the medical services sector have highlighted the effectiveness of innovation management as an important factor in the competitiveness of a medical organization. The authors hypothesized that at this stage certain challenges have emerged that have identified a number of problems for managing innovation in the field of medical services. So, they create threats to the competitiveness of organizations that cannot find reliable approaches to managing innovation in real-world conditions. A study of the flow of innovations in the medical field in recent years has confirmed this situation. Тhe main challenges and problems of innovation management at the present stage were formulated at the work and were put forward proposals for their possible solutions
AN OVERVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF THE NAMIBIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM FOCUSING ON THE BANKING SECTOR
Get PDFThis article examines the evolution of Namibia’s financial system post-independence in 1990. The structure and composition of the financial system is discussed along its contributions to employment creation and economic growth. The ownership structure of the banking sector and its overall performance is also outlined. The finding reveals that there has been a significant increase in the influence of non-bank financial intermediaries, meanwhile the dominance of the financial sector continues to shrink with mounting credit risk pressures. The financial sector’s contribution to employment creation has been quite minimum and is likely to continue in the foreseeable future as developments in the artificial intelligence world accelerate. The practical policy interventions emanating from this assessment necessitate a serious consideration
THE PERSPECTIVES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE IN THE SOCIETY
Get PDFThe world has never been so open to scientific research and technological development as it is today, nor has human competence evolved so rapidly in directions not previously appreciated. The pace of discoveries is faster, although there are scientific fields in which goals are achieved more slowly and with considerable collective effort. However, we find that the successes achieved in the field of science have had an enormous impact on people's mentality and as a consequence have formed the belief that reflects science as a dominant factor in contemporary society. A philosophical reflection on the process of scientific development reveals that for a long time, the physical sciences have been dominant, and in recent years we are witnessing a fulminating development of biology (genetics), which has not only economic implications but also the ethical implications of a major importance. At the same time, the contemporary society of information and knowledge attests to obvious factors of a unique phenomenon called integrative science. It is projected at the integrative frontier of the astrophysics field that combines the processes of the universe constitution as a quantum system (processes that go beyond the theory of quantum mechanics, but also the theory of super lathes) and the processes of life, mind and consciousness. Integrative science proposes a new understanding of reality, even the one considered today purely structural. We hope that integrative science theories will reflect the reality that includes Consciousness as a fundamental factor of Existence

PROPANOL DETECTION DEVICE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MONITORING THE QUALITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Get PDFThe aim of this study was to develop and characterize CuO/Cu2O functionalized with AgPt nanostructures for gas sensing applications. Environmental pollution remains a pressing global concern, requiring effective detection methods. Metal oxide nanostructures, such as those based on copper oxides, offer promising solutions due to their sensitivity and selectivity for various gases. The research investigated the morphology and structure of the nanostructures using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy. In addition, the nanostructures were functionalized with noble metals such as silver and platinum to enhance their sensory properties. The deposition of polymer layers has been investigated as a method to improve sensor selectivity. The gas sensing properties of the CuO/Cu2O/AgPt nanostructures were evaluated using the Keithley 2400 source meter and showed high sensitivity to gases such as propanol, acetone, hydrogen, and ammonia at elevated temperatures. The results showed that higher operating temperatures result in faster response and recovery times. In addition, the nanostructures exhibited saturation in response at higher concentrations of certain gases. These results highlighted the potential of CuO/Cu2O/AgPt nanostructures in environmental monitoring applications, particularly in industries prone to gas emissions. Overall, this research contributes to the advancement of gas sensing technology for pollution prevention and control efforts
