Social media networks have increased Electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) conversations which have created numerous opportunities for online businesses. People using social media networks have been able to discuss, evaluate and argue on different products and services with their friends, family and peers. The study aimed to determine the influence of these social media conversations on the consumer purchase intentions. In this regard, Erkan and Evans' (2016) study was extended as an integrated framework of Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Information Adoption Model (IAM). The proposed framework was estimated using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) on AMOS. Survey method was deployed in which data from 342 respondents were taken who have been involved in online purchasing due to social media influence. The results attained affirmed the established theoretical foundations.

The paper explains and discusses an innovative agricultural appliance, based on vertical farming and hydroponics. The innovative and smart model was launched by a brilliant woman, winner of several awards. Applying her engineering skills, the female entrepreneur has set up a modern company, where technology and agriculture are perfectly integrated in a sustainable way to prevent environmental negative and damaging effects. Recently, the company has developed an automatic hydroponic greenhouse appliance for empowering individuals to grow crops at home. The household hydroponic appliance is based on sensors and smart technologies. The environmental and economic benefits and potentiality of the innovative appliance are highlighted.

Users pay for running their applications on cloud infrastructure, and in return they expect high availability, and minimal data loss in case of failure. From a cloud provider perspective, any hardware or software failure must be detected and recovered as quickly as possible to maintain users' trust and avoid financial losses. From a user's perspective, failures must be transparent and should not impact application performance. In order to recover a failed application, cloud providers must perform checkpoints, and periodically save application data, which can then be recovered following a failover. Currently, a checkpoint service can be implemented in many ways, each presenting different performance results. The main research question to be answered is: what is the best checkpoint strategy to use given some users' requirements? In this paper, we performed experiments with different checkpoint service strategies to understand how these are affected by the computing resources. We also provide a discussion about the relationship between service availability and the checkpoint service.

Intelligent analysis of prediction data mining techniques is widely used to support optimising future decision-making in many different fields including healthcare and medical diagnoses. These techniques include Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID), Exchange Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection (ECHAID), Random Forest Regression and Classification (RFRC), Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), and Boosted Tree Classifiers and Regression (BTCR). This paper presents the general properties, summary, advantages, and disadvantages of each one. Most importantly, the analysis depends upon the parameters that have been used for building a prediction model for each one. Besides, classifying those techniques according to their main and secondary parameters is another task. Furthermore, the presence and absence of parameters are also compared in order to identify the better sharing of those parameters among the techniques. As a result, the techniques with no randomness and mathematical basis are the most powerful and fast compared with the others.
