Beam angle optimization (BAO) is acomplex, multi-objective, non-convex problem with many local minima. Most modern approaches use deterministic or hybrid techniques to solve above-mentioned problem, however problem, however avoiding premature convergence and local minima entrapment is still quite a big problem for most algorithms. In this paper we demonstrate results of our PHD thesis, in which we apply Genetic Algorithm based approach to BAO problem with high success in comparison to clinically used Varian BAO system. MatRad open-source system was used as a software platform to implement our Bao module in MATLAB programming language.

Digital color image is very famous and important data type; it is used in many important vital applications such as banking systems, protection and security systems, so image protection is required. In this research paper we will introduce a simplified method of color image encryption-decryption; the method will be based on image segmentation and reordering using two private keys, it will be tested and implemented using various color images. The issues of security, efficiency and accuracy will be discussed; the obtained experimental results will be analyzed in order to raise some enhancement factors.

The aim of the scientific article is to identify factors and barriers in the system of supporting change management in healthcare organizations. Based on the results of research conducted in April 2019, the research method is surveys and interviews with healthcare professionals, it was possible to identify the most serious deficiencies in implementing changes. Research has shown a number of barriers that block the innovative activity of employees and managers. The article also presents the manager's activities of the analyzed organizations, which aims to mobilize staff to achieve a higher level of functioning of the healthcare facility.

| Paper Title | :: | Customer Feedback Analysis in Afan Oromo Texts |

When trying to make a good decision, we must weigh the positivity and negativity of human feedback and consider all the alternatives. As a result, human feedback is the primary part of decision making and the thought process of selecting a logical choice from the available persuasion.During decision making processes most of us get help from others and it is a natural fact that good decision can be taken on the basis of opinions of others.Accordingly, before the development of today‟s technologies, all the above mentioned facts have been practiced by asking families, neighbors, elders, friends and experts manually for decision making. Nowadays, opinions are found on the Internet everywhere and anytime.Despite its availability, it is unstructured and making information access challenging. To overcome this challenges, in our work we have proposed a feedback analysis model for AfanOromo texts. Feedback analysis is the process of computationally analyzing and categorizing human feedback or opinions expressed in a piece of texts especially to determine whether the writer's or Customer‟s attitude towards a particular topic, product, service and etc. is positive, strongly positive, weakly positive, negative, strongly negative, weakly negative or neutral. Consequently, this study proposes feedback analysis model for AfanOromo texts by using manually constructed rules and subjectivity lexicon of the language. The proposed model comprises of Nine main key components. These are: text preprocessing, morphological analysis, grammar checking, sentiment terms detection, ambiguity detection, polarity propagation, feedback‟s polarity weight calculation, feedback‟s polarity classification and the developed subjectivity lexicon of AfanOromo language. The developed prototype detects subjectivity words of a feedback from the developed lexicon and assigns an initial polarity weight for each sensed sentiment terms in order to determine the polarity classification of the feedback in AfanOromo texts. The developed lexicon of AfanOromo sentiment terms is used for recognizing and assigning initial polarity values for each of sentiment terms detected from entered feedback. The prototype has been developed for verifying the proposed model and the algorithms designed. As a result, experiments have been done on three different data sets and the achieved result with these test data is very encouraging.
