  ADVANTAGES AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF INDUSTRIAL IOT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS USAGE

  The objective of this paper is to research the synergistic interaction between Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in IIoT ecosystems (AIoT).

The objective of this paper is to research the synergistic interaction between Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in IIoT ecosystems (AIoT). For achieving this purpose, a method of integrative study of leading scientific publications on the topics ‘Industrial Internet of Things’ and ‘Artificial Internet of Things’ and the PRIZMA flow chart for filtering the list of found documents are applied. The inability of full coverage of the AIoT topic in one article has necessitated the usage of an approach for its content analysis in several thematic groups. The IIoT and AIoT concepts has been explored by various theoretical and practical aspects in many scientific papers published mainly over the past five years, but continues to arouse the interest of researchers. The novelty of the manuscript could be viewed in the attempts of systematizing the key characteristics, advantages, and risks in the practical use of these technologies in the form of smart manufacturing machines, robotic devices, autonomous vehicles, and software for predictive maintenance, and in outlining the possibility for green and sustainable AIoT platforms creation. It is concluded that a key requirement for the implementation of AIoT solutions is the consideration of the various threats and ethical aspects of their design, which contributes to the correct definition of the ‘social value’ of such business initiatives.

Data lakes (DL) provide powerful capabilities for processing and utilizing large and diverse data, helping organizations adapt to the modern environment and extract maximum value from the information at their disposal. Effective data analysis provides actionable knowledge which is a competitive advantage for organizations. Metadata management in data lakes is a key element in ensuring their full functionality. At the same time, this is a dynamic and under-researched area that reflects the rapid development of information technology and the business needs for effective data management. The research is based on a thorough scientific analysis of existing publications on the chosen topic. For this purpose, up-to-date and relevant open access publications from Scopus and Web of Science that correspond to the keywords "data lake" and "metadata" are identified and are from the last 15 years. Based on a review of the existing literature, the main challenges in data lake metadata management are highlighted. The goal of the research is to summarize the existing models in the field of metadata management in data lakes and to propose a new conceptual framework that can serve as a useful guide for designing and implementing metadata management models in heterogeneous data warehouses, as well as implementation steps. The concept's adoption involves a detailed study of the data management model in a specific organization, a measurement of the level of effectiveness after the model’s implementation, and the use of additional metrics to confirm its feasibility. These tasks are therefore the subject of future research. Another limitation of the proposed framework is that it does not address in depth the rules and standards related to ensuring data security, which would be of the highest priority especially in sectors such as finance, defence and healthcare. In addition, further research could also focus on future analysis of the level of satisfaction with the transformation of metadata management processes.

  MEASURES TO BALANCE THE LABOUR MARKET: AN INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN BUSINESS AND THE VOCATIONAL TRAINING SYSTEM

The study aims to identify imbalances, obstacles and opportunities for realizing the capacity of institutional partnership between employers and vocational education institutions (the case of Lviv region in Ukraine) to balance the labour market. The study is based on the general scientific methods of research – analysis, synthesis, logical generalization and decomposition, as well as special methods – sociological survey and the method of weighted harmonic mean. The methodological tools of the sociological survey include a three-part questionnaire aimed at identifying business needs for workers and business willingness to employ graduates of vocational education institutions (VEIs), as well as substantiating the opportunities for cooperation between VEIs. The study shows that there is a significant shortage of workers in the region (especially locksmiths, construction workers, turners, electricians, etc.) in such economic sectors as water supply, sewerage and waste management, agriculture, forestry and fishing, mining and processing industry, service sector, etc. The authors reveal a low level of cooperation between VEIs and businesses or that of a purely formal nature, which affects the extent to which enterprises are staffed by workers. They also identify a significant need for coordination between businesses and VEIs to meet the demand for workers and the specific occupational and qualification characteristics of graduates. The study reveals the main obstacles to the spread of dual education and substantiates promising areas for its modernization.
