MATERIAL TEST AND RESULTS ESTIMATION BY SAFETY INDEXES

In the article, both the test method features and the test results of research of thermal behavior of steel fragment were analyzed. Two types of test conditions for steel construction material were considered. The definition and main features of measurement techniques were presented. Fire retardant material test results for steel plates with hydrogen combustion shown the limit of fire resistance of the tested samples is more than 30 min. The main advantages and disadvantages of the test were determined. The positive and negative aspects of this approach were analyzed. These techniques' effective thermal condition is in an environment of uncertainty and has no limited resources was established. Concepts and principles for establishing validity, and frameworks and methods for validating test methods and their results are important elements of safety systems. The article considers the safety of the technical component of a complex organizational and technical system with the study of the functional relationship between the safety elements parameters: temperature, time, fire retardant – by hydrogen participation.

Learning from the Failure of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems: Accidents, Safety and Sociotechnical Sources of Risk

Efforts to develop autonomous and intelligent systems (AIS) have exploded across a range of settings in recent years, from self-driving cars to medical diagnostic chatbots. These have the potential to bring enormous benefits to society but also have the potential to introduce new— or amplify existing—risks. As these emerging technologies become more widespread, one of the most critical risk management challenges is to ensure that failures of AIS can be rigorously analysed and understood so that the safety of these systems can be effectively governed and improved. AIS are necessarily developed and deployed within complex human, social and organisational systems, but to date there has been little systematic examination of the sociotechnical sources of risk and failure in AIS. Accordingly, this paper develops a conceptual framework that characterises key sociotechnical sources of risk in AIS by reanalysing one of the most publicly reported failures to date: the 2018 fatal crash of Uber’s self-driving car. Publicly available investigative reports were systematically analysed using constant comparative analysis to identify key sources and patterns of sociotechnical risk. Five fundamental domains of sociotechnical risk are conceptualised—structural, organisational, technological, epistemic and cultural—each indicated by particular patterns of sociotechnical failure. The resulting SOTEC framework of sociotechnical risk in AIS extends existing theories of risk in complex systems and highlights important practical and theoretical implications for managing risk and developing infrastructures of learning in AIS.

COGNITIVE MODELING OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT MECHANISMS IN THE TRAINING OF SPECIALISTS

The subject of research in this article is management in the training of specialists in project-oriented organizations, in particular, higher education institutions. The purpose of the work is to develop a cognitive model of management for the formation of educational programs in the training system. Objectives of the study: to consider the concepts and mechanisms of management of organizations; to form a cognitive model of the management mechanism; to consider system indicators of cognitive model; to analyze the structural features of the cognitive model. The following methods are used in the work: project management methodology (knowledge management areas), system approach, cognitive and graph models. Results. The article provides a definition of knowledge management, discusses the conditions under which the necessary and information will be available to perform tasks. The issue of consideration the specifics and features of the educational institution is discussed. Knowledge management methods are used in the construction of the educational process at the university. The main functions in the practical activities of the organization are given: mediation, export, internalization, cognition. Forms of practical implementation of management are also considered: educational organization, library and strategic awareness. The article also considers the possibility of the main provisions of the theory of management in the educational process, as improving the quality of training is the goal of any educational system. The article develops a cognitive model of the management mechanism, on the basis of cognitive analysis revealed useful patterns that reflect the influence of factors of different physical nature on the results of training. Conclusions. Cognitive modeling can be the key to rapidly improving the effectiveness of management in training. The classical approach to management requires a high level of employee involvement in relevant processes, as they need to identify knowledge, share it, record it and apply it. Cognitive modeling can reduce this requirement as it streamlines the processes of identifying, capturing, storing, and sharing knowledge. In addition, they increase the applicability of by offering appropriate context for the student. The accumulated experience of cognitive modeling of complex organizational management systems allows on a fundamental basis to approach the study of management mechanisms in the training of specialists. It is proposed to use the obtained results to configure management mechanisms in order to improve the quality of training.

Autism Screening in Early Childhood: Discriminating Autism From Other Developmental Concerns.

Early identification of autism, followed by appropriate intervention, has the potential to improve outcomes for autistic individuals. Numerous screening instruments have been developed for children under 3 years of age. Level 1 screeners are used in large-scale screening to detect at-risk children in the general population; Level 2 screeners are concerned with distinguishing children with signs of autism from those with other developmental problems. The focus here is evaluation of Level 2 screeners. However, given the contributions of Level 1 screeners and the necessity to understand how they might interface with Level 2 screeners, we briefly review Level 1 screeners and consider instrument characteristics and system variables that may constrain their effectiveness. The examination of Level 2 screeners focuses on five instruments associated with published evaluations in peer-reviewed journals. Key criteria encompass the traditional indices of test integrity such as test reliability (inter-rater, test-retest) and construct validity, including concurrent and predictive validity, sensitivity (SE), and specificity (SP). These evaluations reveal limitations, including inadequate sample sizes, reliability issues, and limited involvement of independent researchers. Also lacking are comparative test evaluations under standardized conditions, hindering interpretation of differences in discriminative performance across instruments. Practical considerations constraining the use of such instruments—such as the requirements for training in test administration and test administration time—are canvassed. Published Level 2 screener short forms are reviewed and, as a consequence of that evaluation, future directions for assessing the discriminative capacity of items and measures are suggested. Suggested priorities for future research include targeting large and diverse samples to permit robust appraisals of Level 2 items and scales across the 12–36 month age range, a greater focus on precise operationalization of items and response coding to enhance reliability, ongoing exploration of potentially discriminating items at the younger end of the targeted age range, and trying to unravel the complexities of developmental trajectories in autistic infants. Finally, we emphasize the importance of understanding how screening efficacy is dependent on clinicians' and researchers' ability not only to develop screening tests but also to negotiate the complex organizational systems within which screening procedures must be implemented.

Determining the centre (City–CBD) and other subcentres in the city of Pristina

This paper aims to find ways to determine the business area of Pristina (City–CDB) and the secondary centres for two neighbourhoods of the city as business areas are regarded as focal points of urban development and socioeconomic organisation in both neighbourhoods or cities in general. It is assumed that some parts of the city need to consolidate their subcentres, along with the reconstruction of some of the neighbourhoods, in order to fulfil their functions and provide the necessary infrastructure for high quality urban life. Authorities should pay particular attention to the application of the neighbourhood form and the implementation of this concept in spatial and regulatory plans, since these principles enable the development, management and rational use of the urban environment. Being complex organisational systems, cities require the causal interpretations of theories and planning laws with different planning parameters, leading towards the sustainable development of urban centres and the efficient use of urban areas. Appropriate urban planning, efficient land management, useful infrastructure, site protection and services are fundamental for suitable and sustainable housing within both urban expansion and urban densification. Development control and urban organisation help realise sustainable urban centres. They help to improve the living environment, increase land use efficiency, equitable land urban access and enhance neighbourhood characteristics and social wellbeing. This paper describes the functional organisation of Pristina and its urban evolution.

ИНТЕГРАЛЬНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ МОДЕЛИ РЕНТАБЕЛЬНОСТИ ОСНОВНЫХ ФОНДОВ СТРОИТЕЛЬНОЙ ОТРАСЛИ РФ

Over the course of more than a decade of the global economic crisis, the relevance of analyzing the performance indicators of construction organizations in the world has not only not decreased, but even vice versa - it has grown significantly, because now not only its success, but the most elementary survival in the current crisis depends on the financial condition of the company. Both the rate of recovery from the crisis and the competitiveness of the economy largely depend on the efficiency of the construction sector. Construction is a fund-forming (capital-intensive) industry on which the formation of the national economy depends; which means the formation of a complex economic, social, organizational, scientific and technical system. Currently, the construction industry of the Russian Federation is experiencing a number of difficulties in its development, but at the same time it has good chances of increasing its competitiveness and integration into the world market. The object of research of the article is the construction industry of the Russian Federation in the context of three main types of construction: construction of buildings; construction of engineering structures; specialized construction works. The article presents the author’s model of the profitability of fixed assets. The article describes one of the author’s methods of integral factor analysis, which allows an accessible and relatively simple assessment of the degree of influence of factors on changes in the studied indicator. The purpose of this article was to generalize and systematize the theoretical and methodological foundations of factor analysis in a form accessible to specialists in the field of economics and management, which should help form their basis for the development of economic thinking, understanding the essence of economic processes and phenomena occurring within the framework of the activities of economic entities. What is more important - it will help to develop skills for their quantitative assessment, economic interpretation and search for reserves to increase the efficiency of functioning.

НЕСТАНДАРТНІ УРОКИ З АНГЛІЙСЬКОЇ МОВИ В НОВІЙ УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ ШКОЛІ

Features of the organization and carrying out of non-standard lessons in elementary school are investigated. It is proved that the essence of a non-standard lesson lies in the structuring of the content and form, which would arouse the interest of students and contribute to their optimal development, education and upbringing. A non-standard English lesson is defined as one that does not fully or partially fit within the traditional approach to the lesson. It is shown that the modern non-standard lesson is aimed at forming the personality of an elementary school student, ensuring their general development through the acquisition of special knowledge and communicative competencies provided by the school program of English, to develop their cognitive and creative abilities. The importance of a non-standard lesson is to increase the effectiveness of learning, students' interest in learning new material, promoting the development of creative abilities and communication skills. It is shown that during a non-standard English lesson the teacher does not follow the clear stages of the educational process, as well as methods and traditional types of work. It is stated that a non-standard English lesson is born due to a non-standard pedagogical theory, thoughtful self-analysis of the teacher's activity, and assumes the absence of stereotypes in pedagogical technology. Forms of English lessons used in modern primary school are divided into binary lessons, poetry, integrated, discussions, research, competitions, travel, story sketches, etc. It is important that in the conditions of NUS the lesson is considered as a complex organizational system, in the center of which are the subjects of the educational process – teachers and students. The modern lesson is aimed at forming the student's personality, ensuring their development through the acquisition of special knowledge and communicative competencies provided by a typical English curriculum, as well as the development of cognitive and creative abilities of students, which requires high demands on this form of education. It is proved that non-standard English lessons allow to diversify the forms and methods of the teacher's work, get rid of templates, allow to take into account the specifics of the teaching material and individual characteristics of the primary school student. It is substantiated that the creation and conduct of non-standard lessons by English teachers is relevant in the New Ukrainian school.

The verbal component of the modern time diplomatic wars (linguostatistical analysis)

A new interpretation of a “diplomatic war” is considered in the context of changed diplomatic communication – a complex organized system consisting of various components: diplomatic, political, economic, historical, legal, linguistic, and other. The article analyzes the examples of the verbal component of diplomatic communication on the basis of the communicative tactics in the process of information and diplomatic war, currently developing in international relations. The research material includes texts of speeches made by the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Security Council V.A. Nebenzya and the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine P. Klimkin (2014-2019) in a situation of diplomatic confrontation. The strategies of verbal confrontation, and the characteristics of emotivity and clichéd character of a diplomatic text are considered; the concept of implicitly evaluative diplomatic cliché is introduced. UN Security Council speeches are singled out into a separate subgenre of public speeches and verbal and structural characteristics of speeches obtained by quantitative computer tools are analyzed. Based on the results of quantitative linguistic analysis and the analysis of the extralinguistic situation, a linguopragmatic model of the speech situation of a diplomatic confrontation is suggested.

EMERGENCY CONTROL SYSTEM BASED ON NEURAL NETWORKS AND FUZZY LOGIC

The presented paper investigates the problem of ensuring the safety of modern vessels, represented as complex organizational and technical systems. This study solves the task of diagnosing and predicting the level of ships’ operational reliability using a hybrid expert system based on a combination of a neural network and fuzzy logic. Trends in modern control systems show that they must be adaptive and intelligent. However, these requirements cannot be met by expert systems based only on fuzzy logic. This work explores the possibility of combining neural network modules with fuzzy logic and considers the features of emergency management stages based on the offered hybrid expert system. The input information arrives in a knowledge base through gauges, where it is structured and distributed in the form of performance indicators. Emergency recommendations for the operator are formed as a result of a combination of performance indicators available in the knowledge base. Modules of the neural network and fuzzy logic form a system for assessing a complex technical system’s health based on calculated estimates of the health of technical nodes. In addition, the authors formed a hierarchy of factors affecting the reliability of the system. While developing the knowledge base, critical values for each variable influencing the system performance are set, and when the values are reached, the operation mode becomes an emergency. The authors chose a multilayer perceptron with a layer of recurrent neurons and inputs as fed factors and criteria for performance; one output displays the value of system performance. Prediction of the technical state of the system is made based on time series analysis. The system with six variables was used as a test set, three of which are non-linguistic (efficiency coefficient, temperature, and pressure). The standard linguistic variable, calculated by the neural network, includes speed, fuel consumption, and wear of the node. The fuzzy logic module was used to form recommendations for the prevention or elimination of an emergency.

Методы обоснования количественного состава и оценки значений показателей надежности технических объектов вычислительной сети летательных аппаратов

When designing complex organizational and technical systems, one of the main quality criteria is to meet the requirements for indicators characterizing the operational and technical level of the system. The task of substantiating these requirements has not been systematically approached. Requirements, most often, are presented empirically or using the apparatus of expert analysis. This is due to problems in the field of formalization of processes occurring in complex technical systems, difficulties arising in the construction of mathematical models and the development of criteria that allow optimizing information, technical, software, linguistic and other structures of ACS. The problem of substantiating the requirements should be solved using a systematic approach, and the whole set of properties, integral and partial indicators of the system should be taken into account. The study focuses on the approach to solving the problem of substantiating the requirements for reliability indicators of technical means of an organizational and technical system using the apparatus of continuous Markov processes. Time between failures and recovery time were used as reliability indicators. As a result, we found an analytical solution to the problem of substantiating the requirements for the reliability indicators of technical means and the characteristics of their performance, as well as the number of computer network workstations, necessary to meet the integral requirements for the ACS.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OF PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS SUPPORT IN A COMPLEX SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

The study of the problems arising in the management of complex multi-factor systems allows to conclude that the latter should be considered as integrated organizational and technical. The basis of such management is a crisis – an exciting phenomenon, an incentive – unfulfilled needs, a defect, a deficiency or a threat that causes a targeted crisis through technical intervention or to avoid interaction or a change in the state of an object, a change in oneself or one's attitude to what is happening. An information technology for overcoming crises is proposed, which consists in the construction of each crisis into a group of elementary ones with the subsequent transformation of each elementary crisis into an elementary solution using the proposed information technology. The aim of research is to increase the efficiency of managing the development of complex organizational and technical systems through the development and implementation of new dynamic models and methods for finding optimal ways to overcome management crises at the level of elementary representations. The analysis and classification of the negative circumstances that arise in the management of complex dynamic organizational and technical systems, and the crises arising from these circumstances are carried out. The life cycle of an elementary crisis in managing the development of complex organizational and technical systems is shown – from the emergence of elementary negative circumstances to the receipt of elementary solutions to overcome them. An informational method has been developed to support decision making on the choice of means to overcome crises, based on the use of multidimensional percolation models. The structure is proposed and a description of the main steps that are carried out at one iteration of managing a complex organizational and technical system is provided

THE INTEGRATED RATING MECHANISM APPLICATION TO THE DECISION OF THE PROJECT SELECTION PROBLEM

The article describes the model of a complex organizational management system where the several approaches are simultaneously implementing: functional, process and design. The relevance of applying integrated assessment mechanisms to management tasks in organizational systems, in particular, to solving the problems of coordinated decision-making, is substantiated. The reasons for the inconsistency of interests in the decision-making process are described. Examples of management tasks in organizational systems are given. The example of solving the problem of selecting projects into a portfolio using the integrated assessment mechanism is considered in detail. A set of evaluation criteria is given and convolution matrices are described. The development plan for the project assessment mechanism including risk assessment, taking into account the rank of expert is proposed.

Aspects of the "carnivalization" of contemporary cultural practices

The relevance of the article is due to the need to reflect on a new cultural phenomenon that presents the cultural practices of modern chronotopos. The philosophical and cultural concepts of the state of culture are analyzed and the tendencies reflecting instability (transitivity), uncertainty, ambivalence of cultural practices and carnivalization of all spheres of life are revealed. The philosophical reflection of the essence, character, signs of carnivalization made it possible to explicate the phenomenon of "carnival" through its ideological and behavioral components. In the context of the dialogue of medieval and contemporary culture, the essence of carnivalization as a phenomenon of culture is revealed. This context is considered as a special means of restoring the integrity of worldview, world outlook, world attitude. The problem of cultural practices orientation to their value-semantic (axiological) uplift is also actualized. The nature and essence of such categories as "carnival laughter", "carnival freedom", "carnival behavior", "ambivalence" are investigated, characteristic features of carnivalisation are identified and it can be considered as a way of modeling and constructing contemporary cultural reality. The fact that the modern cultural space creates conditions not only for the functioning of carnivalization within the primary function - renewal, creation of a new life-world, but also a new world-view and meaning-making. The constructive role of cultural dialogue in the process of praxeological growth of the subjects of carnivalization has been determined. It is shown that the concept of carnivalization of Mikhail Bakhtin remains relevant at the present stage of cultural development. The discovery of carnivalization as a certain signal of the crisis of culture and the way out of it gives reason to consider carnivalization as a factor of self-organization of culture, as a complex organized system.

Method for designed and adaptation of complex organization and technical systems

The results of the researches published in the article will be useful to specialists who study the problems of the organization and synthesis a complex organizational and technical systems (COTS) and their management. The article discusses the existing approaches to determining the forms of applying and methods for completing tasks of the COTS in various industries (fields) of activity. The analysis of the mutual relations among the forms of applying and methods for completing tasks of the COTS with their levels, tasks and capabilities is carried out. The main dependencies between the forms of applying and the ways of completing the tasks of COTS are determined. A new methodological approach to the synthesis and formalization of the structure, the definition of forms of applying and ways for completing tasks of SOTS is proposed.
 Based on the analysis of existing views on the research topic, it was determined that the lack of a unified approach does not give a clear answer how the functioning conditions, volume of tasks, available capabilities of COTS and its elements affect the definition of the forms of applying and ways of completing tasks at different levels of the COTS structure in each specific industry (sphere) of activity.
 The published results indicate that the effectiveness of the COTS functioning will depend of the industry (sphere) of activity, the forms of its applying and methods of completing tasks, which, in turn, is the realization of the capabilities of the system and its elements of a certain level of structure. It is determined that the discrepancies in the capabilities of the COTS elements to perform a certain amount of tasks are the basis for justifying the direction to improvement (adaptation) of the COTS existing structure.
 Based on the proposed methodological approach, the directions of further research are defined: the creation of tasks system for COTS elements at all levels in various industries (fields) of its activity; the formation a single system for COTS forms of applying and all its elements, taking into account the tasks defined for each specific industry (sphere) of activity; study of the mutual relations between tasks, opportunities, forms of applying, the influence of internal and external factors, as interacting entities, with the aim of determining ways to complete tasks by the COTS elements of various levels.

Its main components are distinguished: supportive infrastructure, e-business and e-commerce. It is stated that structural and sectoral, process, communicative, qualitative updating and conceptual-theoretical approaches are widely used for the effective implementation of the foundations of the digital economy. The structural and sectoral method calls for the structural

Innovative technologies in construction

The article considers theoretical and practical bases of tendencies of development of construction market of Ukraine; determined that the directions of innovative business in construction are the following: a) the purchase of advanced foreign technologies and the organization of production of new products; b) purchase of progressive materials, machines and equipment for construction organizations; c) purchase of domestic and foreign patents for further organization of own production of building materials; d) services of foreign construction companies in the production of construction works using new technologies; e) conducting own R&D; f) implementation of own innovative architectural and design developments; g) training of workers and specialists in new technologies, skills in working with new mechanisms and building materials. Conclusions have been made about the need to introduce innovative technologies in construction; directions for stimulating the development of the construction market based on the introduction of innovative technologies are proposed. It is determined that in recent years there have been global changes in the main economic and production indicators of the external environment that affect the activity of construction enterprises. The most important of them are: complication of production; high requirements for quality of products and terms of delivery of products to customers; the emergence of individual requirements for products, which necessitated the transition to almost individual production with the whole complex of complex organizational and technical measures and system of reorganizations; increased competition.It is substantiated that the implementation of the stated proposals for the activation of innovative activity in construction can serve as a certain impetus for accelerating the scientific and technological development of the domestic economy, the development not only of the construction market, but also the enhancement of Ukraine's competitiveness in the world market, which is especially relevant in modern conditions

Smaller ports’ evolution towards catalysing sustainable hinterland development

ABSTRACTFrom simple organizations as gateways for goods and passengers, ports have evolved and transformed into complex organizational systems with multiple functions. Besides providing cargo, logistics, and other kinds of services to its customers, modern ports engage in the development of their hinterlands. Sustainability, evolving from environmental actions over the years, has become the core of many modern ports’ approach towards hinterland development and port competitiveness. While the literature is concerned with and presents examples of large ports implementing sustainability initiatives, the literature is scarce on smaller ports. This article addresses this gap by exploring qualitatively the case of the Port of Aalborg, a medium-sized port in Denmark, and its evolution towards using sustainability for port and hinterland development. The research focuses on the actions behind environmental development at the port. Its evolution is mapped and explored using the analytical framework developed based on the (larger) ports’ development and their roles. The findings from the Port of Aalborg case exemplify how smaller ports can evolve to drive the sustainable development of their hinterlands and contribute to a better understanding of this kind of port.

Substantiated similarities and differences of categories "technological development" and "technological processes development". Conducted analysis existing approaches to defining the "technological process" concept and its consideration as a system. Characterized the main structural components of technological process. The basic principles of the technological processes’ system-component development concept of the machine-building enterprises are offered and defined. It is concluded that a modern machine-building enterprise can be studied as a complex organized system, the components of which are constantly changing, being in interaction with each other. It is theoretically substantiated that the technological development of machine-building enterprises involves the improvement of the production process, search for new technological solutions, modernization of fixed assets, development and implementation of new technological processes, new information technologies, computers and modern actuators. It is proved that the technological development of the enterprise is determined by the efficiency of reproduction of innovations, which are reflected in the main factors of production, in the structure of their management, as well as in new products. It should be aimed, on the one hand, at maintaining the proper condition and development of the technical and technological base of the industrial enterprise, and on the other - at the stable use of new advanced technologies in all spheres of economic activity of the business entity. It is concluded that increasing the level of technological development of the machine-building enterprise is a transition to a new state of economic activity with efficient use of existing resources and factors of production, research and development, improvement of management system, employee motivation. It is substantiated that the development of effective management mechanisms in the direction of ensuring the development of technological processes of machine-building enterprises requires, first of all, the formation of conceptual foundations of management processes.
