Telemedicine has been practiced successfully in many countries with the help of necessary technological and computing resources. However, past attempts to implement telemedicine in Maldives were not successful for various reasons. This qualitative exploratory research study utilised In-depth Individual Interviews, Focus Group Discussions and secondary data analysis has obtained valid findings on what contributed to failure of past projects, along with number of other variables and issues surrounding telemedicine implementation in Maldives. Accordingly the information derived from the research allowed to identify critical success factors for implementing telemedicine in the country. These critical success factors are noted to be , support from government, adopting standardised project management practices, increasing public awareness and acceptance, political support, availability of technological infrastructure, availability of sustainable financial support, clearly defined legislation, defined referral mechanism, adequately trained personnel and proper communication between all stakeholders. The ways to address the barriers and challenges identified were also recommended.

In the medical field, gene selection is critical, and it has the ability to diagnose diseases at an early stage. Data imbalance and poor feature selection performance are limitations in current techniques. Hyperband optimization is proposed in this paper to increase the performance of the XGBoost classifier. The NCBI gene dataset is utilised to evaluate the developed technique's performance in gene selection. The normalization procedure is used to scale the input data and decrease data discrepancies. When the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method is used on input data to choose important features for classification, the independence variable becomes more difficult to interpret. To execute the gene selection for disease diagnosis, the selected features are applied to the XGBoost classifier. The hyperband optimization method searches in a distributed fashion to increase parameter exploration. The accuracy of the XGB-PCA-HO approach is 97.06%, XGB is 88.24%, and Random Forest is 85.29%.

Systems thinking approach for solving business, social and engineering problems always view individuals and organizations within the context of their environments. Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) developed by Peter Checkland takes this approach in solving complex ill-defined problems. This research paper applies Systems Thinking and practice to telecommuting issues identified, and attempts to discover the possible strategies / practicable approaches to encourage telecommuting in Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). The reasons for the lack of telecommuting in SMEs of Malaysian ICT sector were identified from our past research and this research starts with a hypothesis that the telecommuting problems can be addressed using Systems Thinking approach.

Virtualization technology is transforming today's IT community, offering new possibilities to improve the performance and efficiency of IT infrastructure by a dynamic mapping of the PC resources, enabling to run several applications and operating systems on a single physical system. Virtualization also offers elevated ease of use and error recovery solutions by encapsulating entire systems into single files that can be replicated and restored on any destination machine. This paper brings new elements related to the concept of virtualization, presenting the principles, the new architectures and the advantages of the virtualization. A new framework has drawn for using different types of operating system(OS) with a vApp in a single operating system. Creating the vApp's in VMware Studio and using the vApp anywhere any time.
