Authors: Chutka Jan , Rebetak Filip 
Published: January 2021

Research background:When we start looking for tools that could give a trader a certain trading advantage, we will certainly come across the problem of analysing the trading volume. This is an advanced type of analysis where the primary price chart of the underlying asset is not analysed, but traders focus on the volume of trades that have been executed at certain price levels. Although it may seem like an innovative method, this type of analysis has been used for several decades. In our article, we elaborated the theoretical basis of the analysis of trading volume as a tool for predicting the movement of prices of financial instruments.Purpose of the article:The aim of our article is to explore the possibilities, methods and procedures of analysis of trading volumes and the possibilities of their use in maximizing earnings from trading of financial instruments.Methods:We used formal methods such as analysis and synthesis of theoretical findings and others.Findings & Value added:Based on the study of the analysis and synthesis of theoretical data, we identified and described the possibilities of using the analysis of trading volume in the process of predicting the price movements of financial instruments.

Authors: Paskaleva Mariya , Stoykova Ani 
Published: January 2021

Research background: Financial globalization has opened international capital markets to investors and companies worldwide. However, the global financial crisis has created big volatility in the stock prices that induces a restriction in the reflection of full information. We explore ten EU Member States (France, Germany, The United Kingdom, Belgium, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain), and the USA. The explored period is 03.03.2003 - 30.06.2016, as it includes the effects of the global financial crisis of 2008.
Purpose of the article: To determine if there is a contagion effect between the Bulgarian stock market and the other examined stock markets during the crisis period and whether these markets are efficient.
Methods: Argument Dickey-Fuller Test, DCC-GARCH Model, Autoregressive (AR) Models, TGARCH Model, Descriptive Statistics.
Findings & Value added: Our results show that a contagion across the Bulgarian capital market and eight capital markets exist during the global financial crisis of 2008. We register the strongest contagion effects from US and German capital markets to the Bulgarian capital market. The Bulgarian capital market is relatively integrated with the stock markets of Germany and the United States. That is the explanation of why the Bulgarian capital market is exposed to financial contagion effects from the US capital market and the capital markets of EU member states during the crisis period. We register statistically significant AR (1) for the UK, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Romania, and Bulgaria, and we can define these global capital markets as inefficient.

Network Routing Issues in Global Geographic Information System
Authors: Alameri Ibrahim Ahmed , Komarkova Jitka 
Published: January 2021

Research background: A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based information system that gathers, manages, and disseminates different geographic (related to earth) information to provide intelligent analytics necessary for prompt decisions and actions. A GIS can aggregate data from several different streams and turn it into a smart dashboard for different users to enhance productivity. The use of intelligent technologies, remote sensing, and ad-hoc wireless networks has significantly improved GIS. In GIS, utilization of sensed data from different sources depends upon the use of efficient sensing equipment, smart mobile nodes, and network gateways and relays that can efficiently route traffic towards the sink or base station. GIS achieve attention in emergency response scenarios for their capability to collect, analyze, and process spatial-referred.
Purpose of the article: Article is focused on studying and identifying suitable routing issues of wireless mobile nodes, which are the main transponders for smooth and errorless data transmission.
Methods: We performed a simulation-based comparative study of three different routing protocols used in ad-hoc wireless networks, namely is to identify suitable routing protocols that can aid the GIS to improve its overall performance. We calculated and compared our results with different routing protocols. We were able, with the Random mobility model, to estimate the performance of various network parameters.
Findings & Value added: We proposed a study in this work that includes geo-information services overall of routing protocols to support a team in stressful situations. The study shows that the AODV routing protocol performed better than the other two routing protocols (OLSR & TORA) under the given topology.
