The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the search for growth reserves for small businesses in a difficult economic period, when, on the one hand, business is forced to suspend its activities for an indefinite time, on the other hand, consumer capacity is declining, and state support measures are insufficient for the fast launch of the economy. In this regard, small businesses primarily suffer losses, and the reduction of quarantine measures and the opening of enterprises does not guarantee a speedy recovery of financial stability of business, which will undoubtedly affect marketing budgets. In search of the most cost-effective advertising ways and close communications with consumers, business turns to the Internet, which role is confirmed by statistics of the last two years: the focus of business is shifting towards online and currently exceeds the volume of the traditional advertising market. The study analyzed how successfully small businesses use Internet tools, found out which ones are more preferable, are there qualified personnel in the company, whether the effectiveness of the selected tools is analyzed, what difficulties companies face and how they solve them, and given recommendations.

Positioning and branding in the minds of the target market are imperative for any company. Small businesses find it challenging because of limited resources and budgets. Small businesses adopt a number of innovative ideas and initiatives to develop and build their brands. They focus on finding a compelling product and improving its performance, establishing brands with limited associations, and providing product and service trials for customers. They use the internet optimally to do digital communication and depend on word of mouth and buzz marketing to do cost-effective communications. They develop an integrated set of brand elements and leverage secondary brand associations. They utilize their scarce resources optimally, conduct cost-effective marketing research to analyze their customers, and focus on concentrated marketing. All these strategies and initiatives help small businesses to position and establish their brands in the minds of the target market.

The deployment of new technologies such as the Internet is often understood to positively change the way that business works. However it is important to realise that success is not automatic and a number of other factors must also be considered. In this paper it is argued that a wider range of skills is needed than just technical skills, and a wider vision is needed than just the vision of one business. Small businesses, widely considered a suitable vehicle for sustainable development, must be seen in the context of their communities, for their relationship with public sector agencies and other supporting and regulatory bodies, and as partners to much larger businesses. This paper is based on small-scale qualitative fieldwork conducted with small businesses that make extensive use of ICT located in Cape Town, South Africa and Swansea in South Wales, a deprived region of the UK. It was found that for businesses to succeed a range of competencies are by business managers needed that facilitate relationships and partnerships, these are in addition to the skills needed for simple internal operational issues. Moreover as the nature of partnerships change the mix of required competencies vary from one circumstance to another. A model is presented that shows some of the critical relationships between the Internet (on the one hand) and the stakeholders of a business and the relationships with them (on the other).

There is an increased prevalence of heart diseases in developing countries and continuous monitoring of heart beats is very much important to reduce hospital visits, health costs and complications. The Internet of Things (IoT) equipped with microcontrollers and sensors can give an easy and cost-effective remote health monitoring. We developed a Heart Beat monitoring module based on an android application. The software involved was the Android Application developed using Android Studio, which is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This app retrieved the data from the open IoT platform thingspeak.com. A highly sensitive Pulse Sensor was used to measure the heartbeat of the patient automatically. An Arduino Uno microcontroller interfaced with a Wi-Fi module ESP8266 used to transmit pulse reading over the internet using Wi-Fi. The heartbeat was displayed on the LCD of the patient in run-time. The heartbeat in beats per minute (BPM) was plotted against time (minutes). A mounted pulse sensor to the patient had monitored the heartbeat and transmitted it in the form of voltage signal to the microcontroller, which converted it back into a mathematical value. The Arduino transmitted the data onto the thingspeak.com portal, where it was plotted on a graph and the values were stored for future assessment. The user of the app was given a things peak API and the channel number as an access code, through which physician or nurse can accessed the patient’s data. IoT based heartbeat module as an android application can provide a convenient, cost effective and continuous remote measurements for heart patients to help physicians and nurses update. This app can reduce the burden of hospital visits or admissions for elderly patients.

<p> </p> <p>the present study deals with a more detailed, and updated, modified model that allows for the identification of internet usage patterns by gender. The model was modified due to the development of the internet and new access models, on the one hand, and to the fact that previous studies mainly focuses on various individual (non-interactive) influences of certain factors, on the other.</p> <i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup> <p>The Decision Tree (DT) method, which is used in our study, does not require a pre-defined underlying relationship. In addition, the method allows a great many explanatory variables to be processed and the most important variables are easy to identify. </p><p>Obtained results can serve as to web developers and designers, since by indicating the differences between male and female internet users in terms of their behaviour on the internet it can help in deciding when, where and how to address and appeal to which section of the user base. It is especially important to know their online preferences in order to enable the adequate and targeted placement of information, actions or products and services for the intended target groups.</p><p> <b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><br></p>
