The World Economic Forum stated that while digitalization caused a rapid productivity growth, it has also had its disadvantages. Can digitalization be the catalyst of economic development? Our hypothesis contributes to the debate that the higher the level of digital development in a given country, the greater the quality of life and purchasing power it can achieve due to the benefits of various digital technologies. In our research, we investigated the relationship between the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), the Quality of Life Index (QLI) and the Purchasing Power Index (PPI) among the EU countries from 2014 to 2019. We acquired datasets from Eurostat and Numbeo and examined correlations between indices. We found a strong positive relationship between the level of digitalization, the quality of life, and the purchasing power.

This study examines the quality of life (QoL) satisfaction through place attachment theory upon neighbourhood area among youth in Kuala Lumpur. The objectives are to test the impact of neighbourhood sense of place on QoL index. For place attachment, the environmental factors closest to the home of the residents exerted a greater influence than the more distal factor. These findings contribute to understanding the relationship between place attachment theory and quality of life among youth. The discussion also considers personal dimensions of place belonging and identifying associations amongst them as ways to explore youth quality of life in the PPH.

There is clear evidence of a link between dialysis adequacy (as measured by urea kinetic modeling or urea reduction ratio) and such important clinical outcomes as morbidity and mortality. Evidence regarding the relationship between dialysis adequacy and quality of life (QOL) outcomes as well as adherence is less clear. The present paper is a study protocol which is planning to answer the following research question: <em>what is the impact of dialysis adequacy on QOL and adherence in a sample of hemodialysis patients?</em> The final sample size will be around 100 patients undergoing hemodialysis. Each subject’s QOL and adherence will be measured using the following instruments: i) the Missoula-VITAS quality of life index 25; ii) the multidimensional scale of perceived social support and iii) the simplified medication adherence questionnaire. Dialysis adequacy is expected to be related to QOL and adherence scores.

In recent decades, it has become obvious that an ecological catastrophe is rapidly approaching civilization and the continued existence and development of mankind depends on it. It has long been understood in society that environmental factors affect the standard and quality of life of the population. Modeling the relationship of this influence is an interdisciplinary task that requires the removal of a number of methodological restrictions. Among them: effective data collection and monitoring, the choice of a measurement system, "noisiness" of data. The purpose of the work is to analyze the current state of methodological foundations and choose a method for building a model of the relationship of quality of life with components of the structure of quality of life of the population. Today, various systems of formalized description of the quality of life are proposed at the global level: the human development index, the environmental-economic accounting system, the real progress index and the sustainable economic well-being index, the happiness index, the quality of life index according to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Sustainable Society Index. The modern stage of research on the problem of modeling the level and quality of life is represented by intercountry and interregional comparisons using a developed mathematical apparatus. The work presents general and methodological problems of quality of life research; analysis and selection of methods for solving problems of modeling the relationship of components and indicators of the level and quality of life of the population. The following are considered: methods of multicriterial evaluation, methods of multipurpose mathematical programming, statistical methods, methods of dynamic modeling, methods of simulation modeling. It is shown that in order to solve the applied problems of building a model of level and quality of life, it is advisable to use multidimensional statistical methods, where the initial necessary stage is the procedure of data conversion by standardizing (normalizing) data, namely, bringing all variables involved in the construction of an integral indicator to a single unified scale.

The main goal of any surgical intervention in morbid obesity is to improve the quality of life of patients which is considered directly related to the loss of excess body weight and a reduction in the incidence of related diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the interdependence of these indicators. In 2005-2013 we performed 457 operations of gastric banding (GB) and 198 - gastric bypass (GBP). After GB only body mass index (BMI) and quality of life index (QOL) had significant linear correlation, i.e., the higher the weight of the patient, the worse the quality of life. After GBP there was is a significant linear relationship only between the patient's body weight and dynamics of comorbidities, i.e. the higher the weight of the patient, the higher the level of comorbidity. The QOL of patients after GBP does not depend on the body weight or on the frequency of comorbidities.

The scientific problem of economics “Managing the quality of human life” is formulated on the basis of artificial intelligence, algebra of logic and logical-probabilistic calculus. Managing the quality of human life is represented by managing the processes of his treatment, training and decision making. Events in these processes and the corresponding logical variables relate to the behavior of a person, other persons and infrastructure. The processes of the quality of human life are modeled, analyzed and managed with the participation of the person himself. Scenarios and structural, logical and probabilistic models of managing the quality of human life are given. Special software for quality management is described. The relationship of human quality of life and the digital economy is examined. We consider the role of public opinion in the management of the “bottom” based on the synthesis of many studies on the management of the economics and the state. The bottom management is also feedback from the top management.
