تُقاس كفاءة مشروعات التشييد عادةً بثلاثة عوامل رئيسية هي: الوقت، والتكلفة، والجودة. ويُعد العامل الاقتصادي من أبرز العوامل المؤثرة على مشروعات التشييد، حيث يتمثل في التكاليف الكلية المرتبطة بدورة حياة المشروع، بما في ذلك التكاليف الأولية، وتكاليف التشغيل والصيانة. ويساهم التحكم في التكاليف الكلية في تحقيق أهداف أصحاب المصلحة وتلبية متطلباتهم. في هذا السياق، يطرح البحث منهجية هندسة القيمة كأداة فعّالة للتحكم في اقتصاديات مشروعات المباني الإدارية، وذلك نظرًا لما تتميز به هذه المشروعات من تكاليف أولية مرتفعة. تُطبق منهجية هندسة القيمة عبر ثلاث مراحل رئيسية، تُعدّ مرحلة «ورشة العمل» أهمها، حيث يتم تنفيذ منهجية هندسة القيمة بواسطة فريق عمل متعدد التخصصات. وتهدف هذه المنهجية إلى تحسين الكفاءة الوظيفية، ورفع مستوى الجودة، وتقليل التكاليف غير الضرورية، بما يحقق الدرجة المثلى لمعايير كفاءة المشروع (الجودة والتكلفة) مع مراعاة عامل الوقت. تنبع مشكلة البحث من غياب آلية محددة وواضحة لتطبيق منهجية هندسة القيمة في مصر، خاصة فيما يتعلق بالتحكم في التكاليف الأولية المرتفعة للمباني الإدارية. وعليه، يهدف البحث إلى استخلاص آلية محددة وواضحة لخطوات تطبيق مرحلة (ورشة العمل) ضمن منهجية هندسة القيمة، فضلًا عن دراسة وتحليل أثر تطبيق هندسة القيمة على مشروع مبنى إداري مصري من حيث أثر التحكم الاقتصادي على معياري كفاءة المشروع (الجودة والتكلفة).

The massive number of connected devices in 5G and beyond (5G/B5G) networks has led to the emergence of ultra-dense networks (UDNs), which pose significant challenges for handover (HO) management. A critical function in wireless networks is load balancing, which ensures that traffic throughput is evenly distributed across all base stations (BS). We will go through the fundamentals and architecture of the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), a new concept of mobile networks built with open and interoperable Radio Access Network (RAN) components. The aim of this study is to apply hyperparameter tuning techniques, such as grid search and random search, and to conduct an in-depth exploration of the XGBoost method, focusing on objective parameters such as squared error and gamma. This paper focuses on predicting cell throughput using hyperparameter tuning in both objective methods will be mentioned in the paper to enhance predictive accuracy. The paper evaluates the model's performance using regression evaluation metrics: Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and R2 score. The study takes an initial step toward improving handover management solutions.

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has influenced various human life sectors, including trade. On November, Association of South East Asian Nation (ASEAN) member countries signed a cooperation framework for digital market integration as manifestation of member willingness to facilitate cross border e-commerce transaction within region. One of its concerns is trade barrier originating from digital data protection schemes applied by ASEAN states particularly data localization policy. Using the descriptive qualitative approach through literature study, this research aims to 1) introduce existing status and rationales behind digital data localization law in ASEAN countries, 2) describe possible economic implication by allowing data exchange across borders among ASEAN countries, 3) propose mechanism to address cross border data transfer issues in the perspective of regional integration theory. Results show that localization law in ASEAN member states particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore have different attitude but same economic motives towards cross border data transfer. Besides having positive influence on economic performance, trans-border data transfer may result in capital concentration within business-friendly territory in the condition of development disparity and may harm the existing ICT business. Thus, ASEAN could jointly established commission to develop new single regulation framework. ASEAN countries also must develop more mature ICT infrastructure and business environment in order to support the implementation of existing law. In this conditions, the role of international relation in addressing data localization issues considering various political regimes within ASEAN is needed.

During the last decade, Egypt has experienced a revolution in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that has had a corresponding impact on the field of healthcare. Since 1993, the Information Technology Institute (ITI) has been leading the development of the Information Technology (IT) professional training and education in Egypt to produce top quality IT professionals who are considered now the backbone of the IT revolution in Egypt. For the past five years, ITI has been adopting the objective of building high caliber health professionals who can effectively serve the ever-growing information society. Academic links have been established with internationally renowned universities, e.g., Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) in US, University of Leipzig in Germany, in addition those with the Egyptian Fellowship Board in order to enrich ITI Medical Informatics Education and Research. The ITI Biomedical and Health Informatics (BMHI) education and training programs target fresh graduates as well as life-long learners. Therefore, the program's learning objectives are framed within the context of the four specialization tracks: Healthcare Management (HCM), Biomedical Informatics Research (BMIR), Bioinformatics Professional (BIP), and Healthcare Professional (HCP). The ITI BMHI research projects tackle a wide-range of current challenges in this field, such as knowledge management in healthcare, providing tele-consultation services for diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases for underserved regions in Egypt, and exploring the cultural and educational aspects of Nanoinformatics. Since 2006, ITI has been positively contributing to develop the discipline of BMHI in Egypt in order to support improved healthcare services.

With the growing demands to increase the efficiency and the quality of medical services, healthcare organizations should support optimized workflows. The first step towards efficient workflow management is to identify and understand the various aspects of this workflow. The imaging department workflow, in particular, is relatively well-defined and expressively profiled by the integrating the healthcare enterprise (IHE) technical framework. The goal of this work is to analyze the IHE imaging departmental workflow form both the internal and external perspectives, as stated in the IHE technical workflow. This is achieved though creating the 3-layer models of the imaging department workflow utilizing the 3LGM <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> tool. The created models have been able to provide support for structured and comprehensive analysis of the departmental workflow in all its aspects: processes, information, applications and organization In this way, the workflow management technology provides a better understanding of the IHE-workfiow prior to its real-world implementation to increase the overall services efficiency.
