THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSURANCE MARKET by Maksym Dubyna, Olha Popelo, Maksym Shvets

“…The study of the modern model of the insurance services market was conducted, which was based on substantiating the essence of this model and identifying specific features of the functioning of the specified market. In the future, this allowed to more clearly substantiate the directions of its digitalisation, the prerequisites for the digital transformation of insurance companies, the main digital technologies that they use in their own activities, and the consequences of their application for this market. …”

The structure and predictive value of intrinsic capacity in a longitudinal study of ageing by John R Beard, A T Jotheeswaran, Matteo Cesari, Islene Araujo de Carvalho

“…Multimorbidity had an independent direct relationship with incident loss of ADLs but not IADLs, and also operated through intrinsic capacity. More of the indirect effect of personal characteristics on incident loss of ADLs and IADLs was mediated by intrinsic capacity than multimorbidity.Conclusions The WHO construct of intrinsic capacity appears to provide valuable predictive information on an individual’s subsequent functioning, even after accounting for the number of multimorbidities. …”

Capacity analysis for MISO-UWOC systems over GGD weak turbulence with zero boresight pointing error by Yueheng LI, Yining XU, Meiyan JU, Ping HUANG

“…Generalized Gamma distribution (GGD) was chosen to describe the weak oceanic turbulence, and a new hybrid fading channel model that integrated the GGD weak turbulence, the zero boresight pointing error, and the implicit path loss plus multipath propagation characterized by the fading free impulse response (FFIR) was proposed.Subsequently, mathematical expressions for the ergodic capacity and outage capacity of the multiple-input single-output underwater wireless optical communication (MISO-UWOC) systems were derived through the Meijer-G function under a selective transmission (ST) diversity scheme especially while inter-symbol interference (ISI) effects were considered or not.Finally, the correctness of the theoretical formulas derived above was verified by some numerical results.The simulation results show that with the introduction of the ST diversity, the ergodic capacity of the MISO-UWOC systems, taking the transmission ports N=2 as an example, is at least 1.3 times better than that of the conventional point-to-point (P2P) transmission under the same channel condition and system parameters, while the maximum outage capacity decreases is also more than 60% compared with the conventional P2P one.However, the introduction of the ISI will severely reduce this performance improvement.…”
