The aim of this paper is to analyse and estimate the efficiency of health information systems in the provision of health care services. The evaluation of health information systems is conducted in the case of three most widely used softwares in the electronic health care. This evaluation is based on multi-criteria analysis of the health information systems efficiency using the AHP-TOPSIS method. This method, based on common attributes and their respective values for all three software solutions, individually determines the best rated software solution. Top rated software solution of electronic health care is not necessarily the best for the implementation and development, given the fact that each health care organisation has its own characteristics. Functional and evolutionary-minded hardware and software applicative infrastructure contributes to the consistency of electronic health concept that all system users provides a comfortable software solutions, which ultimately leads to the timely and quick medical services in real time.
The aim of the research is to examine the degree of competitiveness of the agri-food sector of the Republic of Serbia on the market of the European Union (EU) countries, as the most significant export market. Two partial indices were used in the analysis: the net trade index (NTI) and the Grubel-Lloyd index (GLI). In addition to these indicators, unit export and import price analysis was also used to obtain data on the type of competitiveness achieved by the divisions of the agri-food sector. The results show that the cereals division makes the highest contribution to reducing the existing trade deficit, while the high values of the GLI reflect a high degree of integration with this market. The agri-food sector shows dominant price competitiveness in terms of the share of such divisions in total exports to the EU. The results will include recommendations for improving the structure of exports by focusing on specific divisions.

The aim of the research is to classify the European Union (EU) countries based on the progress in the economic performance of agriculture. The originality of the paper stems from the fact that a new set of indicators (in relative form) was used to identify the clusters. The following indicators...
The concept of the circular economy is gaining increasing attention as a sustainable economic model aimed at minimizing resource consumption and waste generation, while promoting the sustainable economic growth of organizations. However, assessing the performance of existing circular economy initiatives requires a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of multiple criteria and indicators. This chapter explores the application of the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method in evaluating the performance indicators of the circular economy. It considers the importance of multi-criteria decision-making methods, presents relevant case studies, and highlights the advantages and challenges associated with their implementation. Accordingly, the aim of this research is to rank the EU27 countries based on a set of circular economy indicators using the mentioned MCDM method and to identify the alternative with the best mutual relationship of circular economy performance indicators. The optimal alternative after the analysis is Lithuania, a member of the EU27.
