The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by advancements in Information Technology (IT), with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems playing a pivotal role in reshaping operations. These systems offer integrated solutions that streamline key business processes, such as production, inventory management, supply chain optimization, regulatory compliance, and data integration, contributing significantly to operational efficiency and organizational agility. This paper explores the evolution and impact of ERP systems within the pharmaceutical sector, highlighting their contributions to overcoming the industry’s inherent challenges, including complex regulatory requirements, the need for accurate and real-time data, and the demand for supply chain resilience. The integration of cloud-based ERP solutions, the incorporation of emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT), and enhanced data analytics capabilities have revolutionized pharmaceutical IT. These advancements not only reduce operational costs, improve forecasting accuracy, and enhance collaboration but also ensure compliance with stringent global regulations, such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and FDA guidelines. Moreover, ERP systems have been instrumental in managing the pharmaceutical supply chain, ensuring product traceability, and improving inventory control and order fulfillment processes. This manuscript examines how ERP systems enable pharmaceutical companies to maintain high standards of product quality, improve decision-making, and ensure the safety and efficacy of drugs through robust tracking and auditing mechanisms. A case study of a pharmaceutical company that implemented an ERP system demonstrates the tangible benefits, including increased operational efficiency, improved compliance rates, and enhanced customer satisfaction. However, despite the clear advantages, challenges such as customization complexities, data integration issues, and resistance to change remain. As the pharmaceutical industry continues to evolve, ERP systems will remain a cornerstone of digital transformation, facilitating smarter decision-making, better resource management, and enhanced collaboration across global operations. This paper also identifies future trends, including the potential of AI and blockchain technologies in further strengthening ERP systems and transforming the pharmaceutical landscape.

Deep Learning-Based Sentiment Analysis: Enhancing IMDb Review Classification with LSTM Models

Abstract Sentiment analysis, a vital aspect of natural language processing, involves the application of machine learning models to discern the emotional tone conveyed in textual data. The use case for this type of problem is where businesses can make informed decisions based on customer feedback, identify the sentiments of their employees, and make decisions on hiring or retention, or for that matter, [...] Read more.
Sentiment analysis, a vital aspect of natural language processing, involves the application of machine learning models to discern the emotional tone conveyed in textual data. The use case for this type of problem is where businesses can make informed decisions based on customer feedback, identify the sentiments of their employees, and make decisions on hiring or retention, or for that matter, classify a text based on its topic like whether it is about a particular subject like physics or chemistry as is useful in search engines. The model leverages a sequential architecture, transforms words into dense vectors using an Embedding layer, and captures intricate sequential patterns with two Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers. This model aims to effectively classify sentiments in text data using a 50-dimensional embedding dimension and 20 % dropout layers. The use of rectified linear unit (ReLU) activations enhances non-linearity, while the SoftMax activation in the output layer aligns with the multi-class nature of sentiment analysis. Both training and test accuracy were well over 80%.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the key role of service quality and beauty of sports facilities in increasing customer satisfaction. The research method is descriptive and correlational research. The statistical population of the study was 154188 organized athletes covered by sports insurance (103890 men, 50298 women) who were working in sports halls of Mazandaran province and according to Morgan table, 384 athletes were randomly selected by cluster Were. Aesthetic questionnaire, service quality and customer satisfaction were used to collect information. Data analysis was performed using Pearson test and structural equation modeling by SPSS24 and Amos structure analysis software. According to the research results, the indirect effect of aesthetics of sports venues on increasing customer satisfaction through service quality is significant. Managers can take effective steps to increase their presence and increase the income of gyms by using quality improvement strategies and customer satisfaction.
