The continuous growth of the world’s population and extending life expectancy, as well as frequent natural disasters and emergencies, increase the demand for health services every day. One of the crucial elements for addressing this problem is triage – a critical process that enables healthcare providers to efficiently identify patients’ needs in terms of medical treatments and resources. However, the complexity of implementing an appropriate triage process has led to the development of various systems, each offering a unique approach to address this challenge.This paper presents a comparative analysis of different patient triage systems, focusing on their key characteristics, identifying their common and unique elements, and providing an understanding of their advantages and limitations. Relying on the findings of the conducted analysis, the paper proposes a generic model of the triage process, designed around universal components that provide a foundation for standardizing the process while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to specific requirements. The proposed generic model further can be employed as a basis for exploring opportunities to enhance the patient triage process through the application of model-driven engineering concepts and techniques.

In modern medical circumstances, effective assessment of patients' conditions is recognized as crucial for quick decision-making, especially in critical situations. In these circumstances, the application of automated triage systems and their role in improving health care are considered key elements, with special focus being placed on the integration of technologies that enable a more accurate and faster assessment of the patient's condition. Based on the above, the paper analyzed various traditional methods of patient triage, as well as the potential for e-triage. Special importance is attached to reducing subjectivity in decision-making and improving the efficiency of emergency services. Challenges and advantages of implementing automated triage systems in real conditions were also discussed, with the aim of achieving optimal results. Considering the factors, a one of possible framework was proposed for the future development of advanced triage systems, which contribute to the improvement of the quality of health care provision.

The fluent API, also known as Internal DSL, is one of the concepts introduced primarily for the purpose of increasing readability and maintainability in the process of software development. It is most commonly used when there is a need to perform operations according to precisely defined rules that determine their possible orders. However, implementing a Fluent API by manual coding can divert focus from defining these rules toward technical implementation, increasing the risk of errors, unexpected behavior, and higher development costs. To address these challenges, a model-driven engineering (MDE) approach can be applied, enabling the visual design of the Fluent API model and its transformation into a code skeleton.This paper aims to present how the previously created graphical development tool, implemented as a Microsoft Visual Studio extension for modeling Fluent API, can be enhanced with model-to-text transformation in order to provide code generation of a fluent API structure. That objective is achieved by using the template-based code generation technique, implemented by enabling the execution of the appropriate T4 text templates. The proposed approach is validated by demonstrating a real-life fluent API example's code generation from its model, resulting in C# source files that contain classes, interfaces, and their corresponding methods.

The appearance of asymmetric loading in the low voltage power distribution network has a negative effect on the voltage profile and power quality. In order to successfully analyze the conditions of the low voltage power supply, this paper presents simulated and analyzed voltage disturbances along the distribution network radial lines for the occurrence of different three-phase power system loading. In the simulation, the influence of asymmetric loading, section length and character of loads on the measured values is presented. The effects of distributed or concentrated loads at individual points of the power lines in terms of the voltage conditions improving were specifically considered.

Nowadays, Internet communication and global data exchange rely on markup languages, which represent one of the most commonly used modern digital technologies. Due to the lack of a global standard, the conversion of content from one markup language to another is usually a complicated task. One of the most common solutions found in related research is based on the use of code-centric software engineering, which requires a significant investment of time and shifts the focus from the problem domain to the technical implementation. These draw-backs can be overcome by proposing a Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach, which observes a problem on a higher level of abstraction. Based on the previously created meta-models of markup languages, this research aims to show that it is possible to convert the content between different markup language models using the ATL Model-to-Model (M2M) transformation language. To verify this approach, a real-life example of the conversion of content from the Markdown language model into an HTML model using ATL transformation is provided. The developed transformation represents one of the necessary prerequisites for a comprehensive solution to the content conversion from one markup language to another.

The fluent API is most often used when there is a need to implement a certain flow of execution of operations, which is achieved by the method chaining technique. Conventional methods of implementing fluent API such as manual coding require a lot of development time and increase the chances of errors. The lack of visual representation of the relationships between interfaces and methods makes it difficult to understand them. This paper presents the design and implementation of the model-based graphical development tool, which is built using Domain-Specific Language that relies on fluent API grammar rules. The proposed tool is implemented as a Microsoft Visual Studio extension using DSL Tools, and it can be used for graphical modeling of the fluent API structure. Such a graphical development tool is the first step towards the automated process of generating the code skeleton of the fluent API structure out of its domain model.

When students enroll at universities, various datasets can be available to managers and teachers. Clustering techniques can be applied in order to divide the instances within those datasets into natural groups. In this paper, one clustering-based approach combined with attribute selection methods for identifying specific input dataset variables meaningful for the disjunction of distinct students' profiles has been proposed. Also, an analysis of the descriptive students' model obtained by the proposed methodology is performed.

New forms of communication are created as a result of the advancement of information and communication technologies, particularly the Internet and the WWW. These technologies introduce technological solutions as a response to ongoing difficulties. Relying on the predominant written form, besides its semantics, content on WWW must convey additional information like its structure, formatting, and relationships between its parts. Markup languages were born. Although markup languages addressed the issue at hand, they also raised several new issues, one of which is how to exchange material between disparate markup languages. In this paper, creating a meta-model of the two most commonly used markup languages, Markdown and HTML, is shown. The meta-model is created using the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) ECore model, which relies on grammar obtained from markup languages. This meta-model simplifies comprehension of the relationship between markup language content and its model, which represents the first step towards the automatic transformation between models, i.e., the interchange of their content.

Solid-state data storage is becoming a widely accepted technology and is looking for new ways to provide cost-effective solutions across various information systems. Solid-state drives (SSDs), existing in different types and models, have several sustainable features: storage, dimensions, volume, etc. Due to the wide range of attributes, designing a robust method can easily select from the purchaser/retailer/wholesaler point of view. This work offers a joint multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) to rank SSD alternatives, and a newly developed approach, namely Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to the Compromise Solution (MARCOS) technique, is utilised, and a comparative investigation has also been achieved with other MCDM methods. Data of separate SSDs have been collected from the Indian market with twenty-six different models of eleven brands. The Bonferroni operator (BFO) allocates and compiles the objective weights using the Entropy weights technique (EWT), the Criteria Importance through Inter criteria Correlation (CRITIC) and the Method based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC). The sensitivity analysis using objective weights considering 18 scenarios was performed, and analysis with the Standard deviation shows that the joint MCDM possesses high accuracy and robustness. The results achieved have been tested with Spearman’s rank and Wojciech-Salabun (WS) coefficient, and the first rank goes to SSD-7. The presented results benefit the manufacturers to understand the market requirement better and for the consumer to make a wise decision while purchasing SSD. It also offers future scope for applying the proposed methodology in similar areas, social sciences and engineering, to make complex decisions.

Digital transformation represents a connective tissue of the global economic system and therefore is an unavoidable element in the process of improvement, both developed and underdeveloped countries. In contrast to digitalization, which was the initiator of digital transformation and relied exclusively on the introduction of digital technologies, digital transformation is interpreted as much wider and requires a special set of skills and competencies. From the perspective of technological innovations, which is the key segment of this process, it is necessary to recognize relevant elements that ensure that the process of digital transformation runs smoothly. Initially, in order to identify the digital competencies of which the process consists, it is necessary to analyze the process of digital transformation itself. After the analysis, the focus shifts to the digital competencies needed to fulfill the identified skills. In this paper, an analysis of digital transformation is performed and the necessary competencies that employees need to have for this process to be successful within the business ecosystem are identified. Relying on DIGCOMP as guidance for digital competencies, recommendations and suggestions were formed in order to connect these two areas.
