    by Asli Gode, Adnan Kalkan 
    Abstract: The number of people who lose their lives due to heart attacks around the world and in our country is increasing day by day. Treatment and early intervention are important for people who have a heart attack and have a chance of survival. When immediate medical attention is provided and appropriate treatment is administered, the survival rate increases. For this reason, this study aimed to diagnose the risk of heart attack early by using machine learning methods. The dataset used includes 303 patient data and 14 features. The data was trained using logistic regression and decision tree algorithms. As a result of the training, a success rate of 83.8% and 77% was achieved, respectively. The logistic regression model gave the best success result.
    Keywords: machine learning; classification; logistic regression; decision tree.

  • Knowledge Management's Impact on Customer Experience and Consumer Satisfaction in the Hospitality Sector: A Literature Meta-Analysis to Identify Common Qualitative Themes   Order a copy of this article
    by David Fowler, David Zinn, Jon Musgrave 
    Abstract: This meta-analysis delves into knowledge management (KM) benefits in the hospitality industry, focusing on its impact on customer experiences and satisfaction. Through a systematic review of academic literature, the study identifies key qualitative themes related to KM in hospitality. Despite extensive literature on KM's industry benefits, limited research addresses its specific impact on consumer satisfaction through the customer experience. The study identifies over 20 qualitative themes, selecting the top five continuous improvement/innovation, personalisation, problem resolution, information consistency, and proactive support for in-depth discussion. Concluding that KM fosters a culture of knowledge sharing and equips employees for exceptional customer service, the findings set a foundation for future research on KM techniques influence on customer experience, happiness, and brand loyalty in the hospitality sector, shedding light on their current impact.
    Keywords: knowledge management; customer experience and satisfaction; consumer expectations; hospitality industry.
