The purpose of this thesis work was to make a survey of current on-line payment technologies and find out which are they and how do they work? Compare and analyze them from a security point of view, as well as a usability point of view. What is good? What is bad? What is lacking? To achieve this purpose, an overview of the current on-line payment technologies was acquired through academic books and papers, Internet sites, magazines. Basic cryptographic and security related techniques were studied for the security analysis of current on-line payment systems. In this work, various current on-line payment systems were classified into two groups [Macro and Micro on-line payment systems]. This classification was based on the mode of on-line payment transactions. To analyze these on-line payment systems, a set of payment system requirements were formed [Security Issues, Usability Issues, Anonymity, Scalability etc]. Under the category of Macro payment system, Credit Card payment system, Debit Card payment system, Stored Value Card payment system, Electronic Check payment system, Electronic Cash payment system, Electronic account transfer payment system and mobile payment system transactions were examined. Under the category of Micro payment system, Hash Chain based Payment System, Hash Collisions and Hash sequences based Payment Systems, Shared Secrete Keys based Payment Systems and Probability based payment systems were examined. Based on the requirements of payment system, these on-line payment systems were analyzed and compared. In the analysis phase, the advantages and drawbacks of these payment systems were figured out. It was found from the study that the credit card based payment systems are the most widely used means of conducting on-line payments. It is evident that credit card based payment systems satisfy stakeholder requirements the best, as they offer more flexible payment options, having a large user-base, benefit from familiarity and simplicity of use and also allow international payments. The other on-line payment systems lack this flexibility It can also be extracted from the study that users want more simplified, convenient and secure on-line payment systems. Thus the futuristic on-line payment systems will have all secure payment options into one system.

This thesis analyses the interbank payment systems in the Czech republic and Slovak republic. First chapter includes the definitions and basic characteristics of payment system and payment services. Both analysed countries are members of the European Union, next chapter so defines its payment systems and their legislation background, with the focus on TARGET2 system. Chapter 3 and 4 concentrate on characteristics of Czech and Slovak payment systems from different points of view. In Slovakia, there are two payment systems, large-value system TARGET2-SK and retail system SIPS. In Czech Republic operates only one payment system CERTIS for both types of transactions. The last and main part of thesis is devoted to detailed analysis of statistical data for these payment systems concerning the period from 2006 to 2011.

Популярность многопользовательских приложений сегодня заключается в их высокой доступности, минимальных системных требованиях для запуска, отсутствии установки и развитости сети интернет. Многопользовательские веб-приложения также нуждаются в тестировании, для поддержания заданного уровня качества программного обеспечения. Несмотря на важность процесса тестирования, наличие собственного инструментария и техник, до текущего момента многими разработчиками тестирование воспринимается как «низкоквалифицированная работа». Тестирование продолжает являться малоосвещенной отраслью, поэтому работа, посвященная исследованию тестирования, является актуальной. Цель исследования – повышение качества локальной платежной системы «Система альтернативных расчетов» посредством проведения комплексного тестирования. / The popularity of multi-user applications justifies their availability, possession of the minimum system requirements to run, no installation and development of the Internet. To maintain a given level of software quality, multi-user web application to be tested. Testing continues to be unpopular with the industry, so the work is devoted to the study of testing, is relevant. This work is devoted to improve the quality of the experimental software product local payment system. The purpose of the study is the improvement of the quality of the local payment system "a System of alternative calculations" by conducting comprehensive testing.

Objectives: Study wanted to explore the factors that will affect the total medical expense in the patients who receive laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). We also to confer the influencing factor that will associate with the difference of reports the expense under the case payment system. Methods:Retrospective study . Collected from year 2003 to 2007, received LC in a general teaching hospital in Kaohsiung city. We also adopt the chart review and combined with the health insurance expense data to explore the important factors that were associated with total hospitalized expenses, declaration of expense differences, and profits. The methods of multiple linear and logistic regressions were needed. Results: 1539 subjects, 613 male and 926 female. The average age was 54.4 , and 1313 subjects were hospitalized from outpatient. All subject¡¦s average hospitalized days were 3.79 and medical expenses were 42528.1 dollars. The frequencies of the type of declaration about ¡¥not exceed¡¦, ¡¥exceed but actually¡¦, and ¡¥exceed but no actually¡¦ were 88.8%, 8.6%, and 2.6%, in sequence. The average declaration of expense differences was 14484.1 dollars. The significant factors that were associated with total hospitalized expenses were the age, surgical year, source of hospitalize, major symptom, combine disease, a complication after surgery, hospitalized days, type of declaration. In the other linear regression model, we found the age, surgery year, source of hospitalize, major symptom, high technology examination before surgery, combine disease, a complication after surgery, hospitalized days, and physician¡¦s surgery quantity per year had been statistically significant with the declaration of expense differences. For the odds of hospital¡¦s profits, the significant factors include the surgery year, source of hospitalize, major symptom, high technology examination before surgery, and hospitalized days. Conclusion: We found a few significant factors that were associated with dependent variable in three regression models in this study. The major factor is hospitalized days that were a stronger influence total hospitalized expenses, declaration of expense differences, and hospital¡¦s profits. The hospital¡¦s superintendent can carry on the management through the appropriate method to control the medical resource consumes.

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was first proposed by Robert S. Kaplan, Professor of Accounting at the Harvard Business School, and David Norton, founder and president of a consulting firm in 1992. They elaborated the idea of strategic measurement system to oversee the performance of a business unit. The system is suitable for both profit and non-profit organizations. After ten years, BSC is proved to be a very powerful tool to inspect the performance of a company, also the implementation of a firm¡¦s strategy. National Health Insurance (NHI) in Taiwan was practiced in 1995. Medical service system had dramatic changes since that time. In order to keep financial balance, NHI develops new policies from time to time, reforms the reimbursement criteria, from fee-for-service to global budget. Hospitals face incessant new challenges. Military hospitals, belonging to non-profit government organizations, play an important role in medical services. It is absolutely important ¡§how to survive under such critical environment, and achieve the goal of permanent operation.¡¨ This thesis is a case study, taking an armed forces hospital as an example to construct its system of strategy management. By implementing the Balanced Scorecard, the hospital can reposition its role according to the mission. Then, the hospital can set up its vision and strategic objectives to draw the strategy maps. Within the four perspectives of the BSC, the hospital can select several measurements to evaluate their performance, then, they can know what has been changed and what needs to be improved. The Balanced Scorecard is the best management tool to implement a company¡¦s strategy. At present, BSC is applied to help strategy management in some hospitals. If it is applicable for a military hospital, it would be a great opportunity to overcome the competitive environment and to achieve the goal to run our military hospital permanently.

The rapid development of the information technology (IT), coupled with the dynamic changing industrial environment, is promoting the IT as a significant application for the banking to quickly response customer needs and maintains competitive advantage. To do so, banking need to have the ability to investigate the emerging technology, match the technology for economic opportunity, adjust the innovation for business grow, and evaluate the customer value for doing so. This study uses the ¡§Net-Enabled Business Innovation Cycle¡¨ (NEBIC) theory to analyze the above issues for the banking when banking promotes the electronic payment system. The results indicate that the application of the electronic payment system can create new value in opening the business globalization opportunity and reducing the transaction cost and time, repetitive data input and chance of human error. Based on these findings, some measures for emerging IT implementation are suggested. The study offers insights that the adopters can focus on to improve their understanding in business opportunity, needed capability for innovation and potential customer value when implementing an emerging technology.

The diploma thesis deals with analysis of interbank payment systems in the Czech and in the Irish Republic. There are described basic types of payment systems that serve as background for analysis. Both observe countries are members of EU, so this work includes also brief characteristics of the law frame of EU and payment systems of EU.
