The dissertation investigates the issues of adaptive electronic assessment systems. The object of research is the data transformations between different data structures used to implement the adaptive knowledge test question bank and the mapping of competencies between the system and the student's competencies portfolio. The main goal of the dissertation is to investigate the integration of e-test question banks and student ability portfolio between different types of electronic assessment systems that use different data structures for storing competencies. The dissertation approaches several major tasks: determination of a suitable data structure for the implementation of adaptive electronic testing, which supports the necessary automatic transformation models between different electronic assessment systems; 2) and creation of automatic data transformation models suitable for simplified integration of existing data into adaptive e-learning systems. The dissertation consists of four parts, including an introduction, four chapters, conclusions, references and five annexes. The introduction describes the investigated problem, the importance of the dissertation and the object of research, the purpose and tasks of the dissertation, research methodology, scientific novelty, the practical significance of results examined in the dissertation and defended statements.

The rapid growth of financial technology (FinTech) has raised concerns about its potential impact on the financial sector’s stability. The dissertation examines the impact of FinTech innovation on the financial sector’s stability by analysing the trends and patterns of FinTech innovation, assessing the impact of FinTech on traditional financial services, and exploring the potential risks and benefits of FinTech for financial stability. Using a comprehensive database of global FinTech innovation activity, this dissertation analyses the trends and patterns of FinTech innovation across different regions and countries. The analysis reveals that the United States, China, Singapore and the United Kingdom are the leading global FinTech centres, with the highest levels of FinTech investment, innovation, and adoption. However, other regions and countries, such as Europe, Asia, and Latin America, are also emerging as important FinTech centres with significant potential for growth and innovation.
