The monograph is part of a series of publications in the sector of interdisciplinary problems of scientific and technological development on the mega-theme of the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Science, man and the prospects of technogenic civilization.” This time the publication is focused on a philosophical and methodological understanding of the phenomenon of the global civilizational Macroshift of the 21st century, which is problematized in the materials of the Round Table that opens the monograph. The genesis, ontological, historical and metaphysical foundations of the global crisis, its singular nature are explored. The possibilities of an expanded environmental interpretation of the ecology of transformations of the techno-anthroposphere, which is considered from the position of the human-dimensional post-non-classical phase of the evolution of scientific and technological development, are analyzed. The contours of the science of the future are outlined, maintaining the connection of times, but also including the problems of digitalization, artificial intelligence, increasing complexity, cognitive and value changes, and also seeking to preserve a holistic view of man and his aspiration to achieve Truth and Good. The possibilities of holistic methodology, open synthetic thinking, taking into account the subtle nuances of the nature of human consciousness and worldview in the diversity of their manifestations, are convincingly shown on specific subjects. The monograph has both a theoretical and practical focus on the presented results for the actualization and use of humanitarian, socio-ethical examination of scientific projects and innovations, as well as strategic forecasting and decision-making.

The subject of the study is the ongoing evolutionary turn in the development of life on our planet from biospherebiological to post-biosphere biotechnological, concentrated in the technosphere-urban environment. Such a turn in the interests of the scientific liberal-technocratic society is accompanied by the increasing processes of death of the main functional components of the biosphere on the land of the Earth — livingmatter, soils as the foundation for the reproduction of natural life and the global biotic cycle of substances. Technospherization of life leads to the loss of natural and biospheric human health, a reduction in his life expectancy in a technogenically developed society, as well as the approval of socio-technogenic-biological laws of reproduction of life in the modern socio-technogenicera. The methodological basis of the study is a socio-natural approach, dating back to the works of V. I. Vernadsky about the biosphere and the noosphere, as well as the ideas based on it of philosophers and scientists of the Interdisciplinary Scientific and Philosophical School of Socio-technogenic development of the world, sociotechnonatural processes and changes in the evolution of life and close to them on the subject of domestic and foreign theorists of the direction of bio- and ecophilosophy. Trends in the death of the biosphere make it necessary for the economic society to preserve and strengthen the sociotechnobiospheric model of the development of life on the foundation of the revived biosphere and the safely formed technosphere. The promising scenario of avoiding the deadly danger to humans and the biosphere is based on a strategic turn from the spontaneously chosen market socio-technogenic development of the world to the development of a strategy for the socio-biospheric development of the world and the regions of Russia. It is based on the organization of conservation of the biosphere–biological substance remaining on our planet, which was created by selfdevelopment on land for about 400 million years, due to the global restructuring of the life-threatening technogenic-biotic cycle of substances. The most important part of the strategy is the creation of a system of biosphere research institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Russia, starting with the Institute of Theory and Practice of Biosphere Development. Of particular importance is the need for scientific and philosophical discussion of the problems of socio-biospheric development of life and the world at the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, taking into account the current trends of socio-technogenic development of the world and the need to develop interdisciplinary approaches to the preservation of the phenomenon of natural life. All these global changes should take into account social sciences and carry out appropriate policies in the world and fundamental restructuring of technogenic society.

The aim of the work is to develop a mathematical model of the technological section of the main pipeline, which reflects the main hydraulic processes in the pipeline, namely Q-H characteristics of pressure and main pumping units, their connection diagrams, characteristics of the electric drive part, characteristics of the linear part (length, diameter, thickness of the pipeline ), shut-off linear valves, throttling valves, including a frequency converter, an electric motor with a gearbox and a hydraulic part (flow characteristic). The task is to develop a mathematical model of the main pipeline technological section for further use as part of a simulation stand for an automatic pressure control system (APCS). Research methods are used such as the system analysis method, technical hydraulics, mathematical modelling of operating the main oil pipeline section, considering the switch on and off of the main pumping units and changes in the opening degree of the throttling unit. The research results state that the developed mathematical model of the main pipeline technological section takes into account the basic hydraulic processes and can be used in the simulator software for automatic pressure control systems. The novelty of the work consists in building a mathematical model of the main pipeline technological section with throttling control, adapted for real-time operation for the simulator programmable logic controller. The paper findings state that the proposed mathematical model of the main pipeline technological section with throttling control has some assumptions necessary for the software to operate in real time and reflects the main hydraulic processes occurring in the oil pipeline. Switching the main pumping units and control valves is successfully modelled. The simulation results can be used in the computer program for the software and hardware complex (SHC) of the automation testing simulator and the SHC for setting up the APCS.

The article proposes a procedure for ergonomic support of improving the certification system of the banking sector employees, which is based on a differentiated psychological expert justification of the significance of professionally important qualities of applicants for leadership positions. The author’s model for assessing the managerial abilities of the bank’s employees is developed. An evaluation sheet is proposed for the diagnosis of specialists and employees’ professionally important qualities, taking into account occupational and personal competencies, considering significant weight coefficients. An example of empirical approbation of the developed qualimetric model is given.

It describes the implementation and application of a procedure in the R language designed to select a distribution curve from the Johnson system. In the proposed procedure, unlike the already implemented function from the SuppDists package, the selection of a family of curves and the estimation of parameters is carried out using the percentile method and a combination of maximum likelihood and least squares methods. The ability to set the initial values of the quantile vector of the standard normal distribution allows the user to select the curve more flexibly. In addition, the assessment of the quality of the selection can be performed visually, using graphs of density functions and distribution functions, as well as formalized with the application of Pearson's chi-squared agreement criterion.

The problems of modeling the flow of polymers in channels with a small section in the overall production of about 2-3 cm3 are considered. The influence of channel dimensions on the thermosetting plastic movement in such channels is described. The arguments are given to prove necessity of careful control of the flow sections of small channels in the production of polymer products. A simulation of pressing a small product with the thermosetting plastic in a mold with a built-in filling element is carried out. The location of the filling element will allow to assess the nature of the flow front movement in the mold cavity most closely to reality. An attempt is made to analyze the influence of pressing conditions on obtaining a high-quality product and the behavior of the filling element in the mold cavity.

The existing designs of locomotive support and returning devices are analyzed, their main advantages and disadvantages are determined. A solid-state model of a four-axle locomotive moving along track irregularities is developed. The model is verified with the data of full-scale tests. On the basis of multiple calculations, the rotation resistance parameters in the supports are determined, providing rational dynamic characteristics of the locomotive.
 An original design of an unattended support-and-returning device is proposed. Its dynamic model is made, integrated later into the model of locomotive movement along real track irregularities. The dynamic characteristics of the locomotive are evaluated using the proposed design of the support-and-returning device. Proposals are made to modernize existing support-and-returning devices in order to obtain higher reliability and durability.

The issues are considered in order to ensure the die tooling quality to manufacture small-sized parts made of sheet material for radio equipment and microelectronics. Typical damage to the main parts of dies, as well as their causes are analyzed. The development of machine-tool construction determines the trends of changes in the technology of manufacturing die parts. At the same time, the role of electro-physical and electrochemical machining methods increases. They are used, often replacing traditional methods of machining with blade and diamond-abrasive tools. At the same time, individual components of the macro- and micro-geometry of parts and the quality of the surface layer are not always taken into account. The paper discusses some errors that are not always considered during the technological preparation of production, the manufacture of parts and their control.

The aim of the study is to develop and verify behavioural models of a linear negative voltage regulator. This paper presents the process of building behavioural models of a linear negative voltage regulator with 3.3 V fixed value of the output voltage and with an adjustable negative output voltage from the reference voltage value of 1.25 V to 20 V. As a prototype model, the MC79L stabilizer manufactured by OnSemiconductor and its closest functional analogues LM337L, LT1964, LT3032 are selected. Behavioural models of linear stabilizers are implemented in the SPICE language based on functional blocks that fulfil mathematical dependencies and constraints. Simulating integrated circuits is carried out in the time domain and in static modes using the OrCad end-to-end simulation software package. The simulation verification confirms the data result adequacy presented in the chip manufacturers’ technical specifications. The proposed behavioural model of a linear stabilizer can be applied in modern specialized CAD systems for circuit design and simulation in developing, designing and studying power supply devices for radio-electronic and industrial equipment.
