GEOGRAPHIC IDENTIFIERS AS A BASIS FOR INTEGRATION OF GEOSPATIAL DATA

The article examines the subject, idea, role and meaning of geographic identifiers to ensure the integration of geospatial data in seamless topographic databases and national spatial data infrastructure in accordance with the national standard DSTU ISO 19112: 2017 (ISO 19112: 2003, IDT) Geographic information. Spatial referencing by geographic identifiers.
 The main direction of development of topographic and geodetic activity in Ukraine is the development of the national spatial data infrastructure based on the principles of geoinformation approach. The national spatial data infrastructure is seen as a system of integration of geospatial data of different origins from different sources, and most importantly from different areas of activity. The system of integration of heterogeneous data acquires special value at connection of a set of basic data with the thematic data which provide an array of attributive information from various kinds of activity. It is through geographic identifiers that geospatial coordinate descriptions of features are linked to an array of attribute data that does not have a direct positioning. Geographic identifiers can be the following: codifier of administrative-territorial units and territories of territorial communities, cadastral number of the land plot, address, geographic name, etc.
 Therefore, the aim of the article is to study the requirements for the use of geographic identifiers for the integration of sets of basic and thematic geospatial data of the national geospatial data infrastructure in accordance with DSTU ISO 19112:2017 (ISO 19112:2003, IDT).

THE ROLE OF CYBERSPACE IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SMART POWER CONCEPT

The retrograde, puritanical and belligerent ideologies may seem anachronistic, related to the specificity of the 21st century. The need for understanding the reality augmented by the emergence of new forms of manifestation in international relations is materialised by transposing novelty elements into strategic models specific to the current century. A concrete example is the use, within specialised circles, of the concept of “smart power”, an intelligent combination of punitive actions with the ability of persuasion. This concept incorporates, in a unitary conception, aimed at identifying the optimal solution to ensure strategic success, the specific elements of soft and hard power. Another aspect of everyday reality is the significant use of cyberspace as a means of facilitating the process of fulfilling the goals in different areas of activity, respectively at different levels of society. In this regard, in this paper, the role of the cyber environment in achieving the specific objectives of implementing the strategic concept of “smart power” will be addressed.

Agglomerative clusterization with DBSCAN algorithm and iterative method

The tasks of grouping, classifying, and clustering data are widely encountered nowadays in different areas of activity. These tasks need to be solved in librarianship and even in social networks. One of the complex and important tasks is a grouping of normative and reference information. Solving this problem will allow us to perform complex operations with the normativereference information: building a hierarchical structure from scratch, adding new entities or groups to the existing, and combining several lists of normative-reference information independently of the original hierarchical structure presence. This article includesdescription of using DBSCAN as an agglomerative-iterative clusterization algorithm. The iterative part of this algorithm is necessary forfull entity list clusterization on every hierarchical level. Clustering metrics such as adjusted Rand index, Jaccard index, Foulkes-Mallows index are considered. A new metric based on the previously mentioned metrics has been proposed. A combination of Word2Vec and TF-IDF algorithms is used to convert the textual names of objects to numerical form.

The state of infrastructure facilities of the Kola Peninsula for the independent life of people with disabilities

The article examines the problem of accessibility of objects of social infrastructure of the Kola Peninsula for disabled people. The study was based on the method of monitoring the state of infrastructure in 13 settlements of the region, in which 701 objects were examined for accessibility for the disabled. As a result of observation, the objects were divided into accessible, conditionally accessible and inaccessible; accessibility indices were calculated for different areas of activity. The study revealed uneven processes of creating an accessible environment in the Kola North, depending on the type of settlements and the location of objects. Most of the accessible infrastructure facilities are located in cities on central streets and are aimed at access mainly for people with musculoskeletal disorders. Social protection institutions, banks and post offices provide access for people with disabilities best of all. In other areas of activity, objects are only partially accessible.

Application of models and methods of integrated risk management of stakeholders of scientific projects in conditions of uncertainty and behavioral economics

The object of research is the processes of integrated risk management of stakeholders of scientific projects, including the project team, the main executors of the project (scientists) and other stakeholders, in conditions of uncertainty and behavioral economics. Today, scientists work in difficult conditions of uncertainty about the prospects for the development of science, technology and engineering. Therefore, it can lead to personnel risks, conflicts and behavioral economics and have a negative impact on the planning and implementation of scientific projects. The main hypothesis of the study is the assumption that the success of scientific projects depends on the effective management of their stakeholders in order to achieve their goals. It is necessary to systematically approach the analysis of stakeholders of scientific projects, the use of integrated risk management of stakeholders of scientific projects in conditions of uncertainty and behavioral economics. Based on the analysis of risk management methods in different areas of activity and taking into account the conceptual model of integrated risk management of scientific projects, a method of integrated risk management of stakeholders of scientific projects in uncertainty and behavioral economics was proposed. For the practical application of the developed models and methods of integrated risk management of stakeholders of scientific projects in conditions of uncertainty and behavioral economics, the scientific project was considered. Their use, even at the stage of initiating scientific projects, allowed the project manager and his/her team to calculate the indicator of «toxicity» for each alternative stakeholders and compare them with each other. It is based on data obtained in the process of assessing personnel risks, conflicts and factors of behavioral economics, which was conducted using the method of expert assessments. The indicator of «toxicity» is limited and should be close to zero. An example of choosing a stakeholder for the supply of stationery is considered. This result allowed to increase the efficiency of inclusion of stakeholders in the participants of the scientific project.

ПРОЯВЛЕНИЕ СУБЪЕКТНОСТИ СТУДЕНЧЕСКОЙ МОЛОДЕЖИ В ОБЩЕСТВЕННОЙ И ЧАСТНОЙ ЖИЗНИ

Considering youth as the most important resource for the development of society, it is important to determine how they enter adulthood, which makes them an active subject of social actions and relationships. The formation of youth as a subject of social life can be interpreted as a state and as a process, which are expressed through the concept of «subjectness». The article gives the author's definition of the concept of subjectness of youth, which is considered as an opportunity for young people to show their independence, assert themselves and get real results from their actions, and also defines the spheres of activity in public and private life, within which the subjectness of student youth is manifested. The article argues that the subjectness of youth is a property that cannot be simultaneously and equally manifested in all spheres of activity, but is demonstrated only in certain areas, which can be in different periods, based on the political, socio-economic and sociocultural situation, serve different areas of activity. The article is written on the basis of an analysis of the data of the author's sociological research conducted in the universities of the city of Belgorod using the focus group method, and it substantiates the position that in modern reality the subjectness of student youth is manifested mainly in such spheres of activity as volunteering and family strategies. while in the educational process, in the political sphere and in professional careers, students do not recognize themselves as fully independent subjects.

Assessment of the level of innovative development of the enterprise in the context of integration of science and business

In the article the purpose of the article is to propose an integrated indicator for assessing the level of innovative development, which takes into account the components of the process-functional approach to the enterprise. Today, numerous research achievements focus on the assessment of individual components of innovative development of the studied industry, but there is no single integrated mechanism for formulaic assessment of the level of innovative development. The urgency of solving the above problem involves the possibility of a comparative approach of micro and meso levels based on the normalization of data, taking into account modern methods of calculating the proposed components of innovation development. The article emphasizes the consideration of assessing the level of innovative development on the basis of the formation of an integrated indicator based on a process-functional approach. The author identifies four components: innovative development of input resources, innovative mechanism of enterprise activity, innovative development of production organization, preconditions and results of introduction of innovative products — on the basis of which formula 1 is proposed. In addition. own attention was focused on indicators of the level of innovative development of the organization, in particular the assessment of the level of happiness and the impact of intellectual resources. In particular, happiness is a part of the cycle of combining «test» and «action», which according to kaizen will change and improve the work process. Thus, the author focuses on the proposed method of assessing the level of happiness according to the Scrum approach. An equally important component of the level of innovative development of the enterprise is the assessment of intellectual resources, which means a complex economic category that combines intellectual capital and various forms of intangible assets that capture knowledge and skills and aim to maintain long-term competitive advantage. development of business entities. According to the data formedtables of components of the integrated indicator, the effectiveness of innovation in the enterprise is determined if the coefficient is defined within the metric level of innovation development is greater than zero, which has a significant impact and integrated indicator of the level of innovation development depending on the enterprise. To apply the integrated indicator in different areas, the author proposed weighting factors that contribute to the individualization of the weight of each of the indicators and the area of its operation. The proposed formulaic form of assessing the level of innovative development covers a system of indicators of functional-process interaction metrics of the organization, and the presence of weighting factors helps to adapt the calculation for different areas of activity and provides normalization of data to form a comparative approach between existing and potential competitors. In addition, the proposed formula facilitates marketing research, proactive vision and socially responsible behavior in crisis conditions and the use of Agile techniques, lean production and more. The current prospects for further research are to improve the system of proposed indicators to match their importance to the strategy and the formation of KPIs for each of the levels of government, which will increase the efficiency of economic entities.

New decision systems in the VUCA world

Abstract In a turbulent economic environment, marked by multiple challenges and changes at every step, organizations must adapt their management system, in order to maintain or even increase their productivity, as well as their competitive advantage. All the activities carried out within an organization are based on a series of managerial decisions, dependent on each other, by which the objectives and the modalities of action are determined, ensuring the economic-financial balance. Frequently, the activities carried out within an organization are changing, as the circumstances and characteristics of the business environment increasingly suffers transformations, thus it is necessary that the decision-making processes be updated. Therefore, the employees of the companies must be prepared to organize their activity in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world - the VUCA world. Above the decision environment, are manifested a series of indirect and direct influences (interdependent variables, constraints and limit situations) that affect the result of the decisions adopted within the different levels of management in organizations. Thus, the present paper aims to determine and investigate the factors that influence the characteristics of the decision situations, regardless of the type of decisions adopted within an organization. The present study consists in analyzing the results obtained after applying an online questionnaire to researchers from Doctoral Schools and students of Project Management, from the Bucharest University of Economic Studies, who work in different areas of activity. After the statistical processing of the results obtained regarding the decision systems in the VUCA world, this paper aims to highlight the most important changes that occur in decision-making processes representing a key element for organizations in which managers have to make decisions on a daily basis, in order to ensure the economic performance, despite all the disruptions that occur.

Detecting Modern Conflicts

The paper examines the applicability of a metal detector survey and distribution analysis of mostly metal objects at four post-World War II mass execution sites in Ko?evski Rog, Slovenia. All locations were surveyed with the intent to gather the material evidence, reconstruct the events and identify areas of different activities. With the distribution analysis, we were able to reconstruct pathways leading through forest to the execution sites; places of untying, undressing and restricting of the victims; and places of shooting. Locations with discarded and sometimes burned clothing, equipment and personal belongings were also found, containing various metal and non-metal objects. Metal detector survey and distribution analysis of objects proved to be an excellent tool for researching, interpreting and reconstructing poorly documented events, such as World War II and post-war extrajudicial mass executions.
