ISSUES OF INFORMATION-ANALYTICAL ACTIVITY OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES IN THE WRITINGS OF DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN THINKERS

The scientific article is devoted to the study of questions of information-analytical activity of the authorities in the writings of domestic and foreign thinkers. Modern scientific developments concerning the needs of analytical administration activity, which are determined by several conditions, are revealed. First, the administration as a high-tech activity is characterized by an increasing amount of miscellaneous information that is not suitable for direct use by the officials, because it requires special processing, taking into ac count the adopted administration paradigm and the tasks that have been solved. Secondly, modern administration is becoming more dynamic and situational, leading to an increased need for information data to make the right decision to meet them. The information-analytical structures provide diagnostics of situations for perception of the social tendencies, prevent the formation of negative public opinion and potential conflicts on the basis of complex recommendations. It is substantiated that the information-analytical system of the public administration should take into account the diversity of decision-making processes and the specific activities of civil servants of all categories at different stages of the decision-making process. It is determined that information-analytical support is necessary in the implementation of the following tasks: analysis and monitoring of the status of the administration objects; quality control over the implementation of the decisions and the effectiveness of administration mechanisms; analysis of external and internal problem situations and their forecast; documenting administration decisions and the process of preparing them; analysis of the quality of the decisions made; expertise on proposed solutions and problems, etc. It has been proved that information-analytical activity has a number of objectives aimed at solving situations that require public-administrative decisions and consist in taking certain actions to monitor the accumulated information, structure it, make decisions to obtain additional information on the new initial task and so on. The most general definition of the purpose of information-analytical activity should be considered the creation of certain information products, which requires at least three requirements for scientific substantiation, truthfulness and timeliness of information.

Специальное предупреждение насильственных преступлений, совершенных несовершеннолетними и молодежью по мотиву национальной ненависти

The problem of special prevention of the violent crimes committed by minors and youth on the national hatred grounds is considered in article. Law enforcement agencies have a special role in the solution of the matter because they carry out the large quantities of work on special prevention of crimes committed by minors and youth. Acquisition of sociocultural skills by minors and youth directed to elimination of long term habits and stereotypes of antisocial behavior among youth is one of the most perspective measures of prevention the violent crimes committed by minors and youth on the national hatred grounds. The author pays attention to necessity of the earlier bringing legal information to minors, taking into account features of group dynamics. Modern information technologies (for example, the complex automated information-analytical system “Safe City”, which allows ensuring safety on city streets) are also more effective in preventing crime among minors and youth than traditional methods of preventing teenage and youth crime, as these categories most often commit violent crimes in the streets.

APPLICATION OF DATA BASE SYSTEMS BIG DATA AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SOFTWARE IN INTEGRATED RISK MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIZATION

In recent years, software companies supporting enterprise management offer advanced applications of information-analytical Business Intelligence class systems consisting of modular development of these systems and combining business intelligence software with platforms that use data warehouse technology, multi-dimensional analytical processing software and data mining and processing applications. This article describes an example of this type of computerized analytical platform for business entities, which is included in analytical applications that allow quick access to necessary, aggregated and multi-criteria processed information. The software allows entrepreneurs and corporate managers as well as entities from the SME sector on the one hand to use embedded patterns of reports or analyzes, and on the other hand to self-develop and configure analyzes carried out, tailored to the specifics of a specific entity. Such analytical applications make it possible to build integrated risk management systems in the organization.

Systems Methodology And Model Tools For Territorial Sustainable Management

No doubt, this research is topical in the context of new challenges arising for different Russian territories (regions) due to intensive globalization processes and jumping trends of world economy. These challenges are stressing the need for an innovation-oriented improvement of regional management systems in accordance with the realities of cyclicity and the conditions of fundamental resources to stimulate positive social and economic dynamics. The goal of the present paper is to justify a methodology and real ways of regional sustainable management system design based on efficient model tools and information technology. For achieving this goal, several problems have been solved such as the dynamic modeling of a regional social-ecological-economic system and coordination of public (social) and private interests, the elaboration of reasonable management approaches to regional development risks, as well as the design of an appropriate methodology to integrate the suggested models and approaches within an information-analytical sustainable management support system. The novelty of an original scientific outlook introduced by the authors consists in the elaboration of a well-grounded systems methodology and model tools for regional sustainable management and also in the justification and verification of qualitative and quantitative approaches to the analysis of regional development risks and their integration into a unified regional sustainable management system. The methodology and model tools presented below can be used for enhancing the scientific and practical components of a regional sustainable management system under dynamic and conflicting external conditions.

ОКРЕМІ АСПЕКТИ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНО-АНАЛІТИЧНОГО ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ПУБЛІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ РЕГІОНАЛЬНИМ РОЗВИТКОМ

Problem setting. Public administration formulates and implements regional policy facing such challenges as uncertainty, risks and real security threats, limited resources, the need for their effective distribution, resistance to public administration innovations, mistrust to power institutions, the need to align interests of a wide range of stakeholders and also taking into account global development trends.Information and analytical provision for public administration is intended to give appropriate support. However, its current level does not meet the needs of public authorities and civil society in qualitative information supply and analytical support to make reasonable decisions in the course of current activities and for medium and long-term planning of regional development.Recent research and publications analysis. The publications analysis reflects the different contexts in which the information and analytical support for public administration of regional development is highlighted, and that is 1) an element of the regional development management system necessary to improve the mechanisms of public administration; 2) means of state regional policy implementation; 3) a part of the method of statistical study of the regions’ development; component of designing information-analytical systems and technologies in public administration.The paper objective. The purpose of the study is to identify the essential aspects of information and analytical provision for public administration of regional development in accordance with current needs.The paper main body. In general, the role of information and analytical support for public administration is to obtain derivative, processed information from collected separate data, and that is the background for making and reasoning managerial decisions. Therefore, it is obvious that information and analytical support are interconnected and complementary.Public administration of regional development is built on state and regional development strategies, which are part of a system of interconnected documents to implement the state regional policy. The strategic planning documents development should be preceded by significant informational and analytical work as far as it allows public authorities to determine the current situation, to identify problems, to model different development scenarios, to predict their outcomes with high accuracy and to choose the most optimal.The legislation says that the process of positive changes in different fields of livelihoods of regions must be balanced, dynamic, should improve the living standards and ensure the social and economic unity of the regions. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and evaluate the results of the regional development policy on the basis of statistic information and its analysis.Conclusions of the research1. After studying the essential aspects of the concept of information and analytical provision for public administration, it is proposed to clarify its definition in the sphere of regional development in the following wording: “informational and analytical provision for public administration of regional development is a set of interrelated methods, measures and means to implement technologies of collecting, selecting, transmitting, transforming, storing and displaying of information about the current situation, forecasts and the objectives of development of livelihoods of the regions for effective public administration and raising the level of welfare of people”.2. As a result the research proves that organizing information and analytical support plays an important role in a successful public regional development policy serving as a mechanism for forming, argumentation and making the managerial decisions, effective implementation ofpublic administration functions of regional development, in particular, planning, coordination, monitoring and evaluation, as well as identifying problem situations in different fields of regions’ life, modeling scenarios for development, formulating and implementing regional policy objectives, developing strategies and programs for regional development, anticipating the policy outcomes.

Ukrainian Elites Discourse in Respect of The Donbass Territory and Population of 2009-2018: Analysis of The National Facebook Segment

The conflict in the South-East Ukraine has acquired a protracted character, primarily due to the lack of consensus among key players. Ukrainian elites and society have not formed a consolidated position in relation to the Donbas. The study attempts to answer the question: what are the specifics and dynamics of the Ukrainian elites' discourse in relation to the Donbas over the past 10 years? The aim of the study is to analyze the semantics, frequency and emotionality of the two major discourses – in relation to the population and the territory of Donbas – using the analysis of the national Facebook segment. This work proceeded in several stages: from November 2016, when my colleagues and I began brainstorming, until May 2018, when the final schedules were obtained: the allocation of opinion leaders in the social network, downloading their posts from January 1, 2009 to February 15, 2018, the isolation from the discourse of posts devoted to the Donbas, the creation of a vocabulary that allows differentiating discourses according to the degree of their emotionality, an assessment of their frequency degree, an explanation of the discourses dynamics through event analysis. The database consists of 653 662 739 characters in 7 languages from 1,069,687 posts of 376 Ukrainian Facebook top-bloggers, downloaded and analyzed using the information-analytical system «Semantic Archive». The results of the analysis show that, firstly, the «birth» of discourses about both the territory and the population is the 2013-2014 boundary. Before that, the frequency of mentioning the Donbas is zero. Secondly, unlike the territory in relation to the population there is a significant negative discourse, and it has slightly increased in relative degree after 2014, but has always existed. Regarding the territory, on the contrary, the hatred discourse is absent. The neutral discourse dominates this agenda. At the very beginning of the period under review, it displaces positive discourse, showing how great is the uncertainty with regard to the territory, maintaining its relative share, beginning in January 2011. The number of positive and negative discourses in relation to the territory is a multiple of that for the population, which allows to draw conclusions about the high degree of uncertainty of elites in relation to the territory and the low probability of the transition of this neutral discourse into positive ones.

THE USE OF SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (SAR) DATA IN THE ANALYSIS OF INUNDATED AREAS DURING THE SPRING FLOOD

The paper discusses the opportunities of remote sensing data application as one of the main sources of information for monitoring river floods. Effective operation of flood forecasting systems requires reliable real-time data on inundation areas for timely calibration and verification of the used hydrodynamic models. The opportunity to obtain data from optical sensors might be limited because of dense cloud cover. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) techniques are increasingly used today due to ability to operate independently of the surface illumination and the state of cloud cover receiving high spatial resolution data in near real-time mode. An important feature of SAR from space today is the increase in the number of freely distributed space data, in particular — images from Sentinel satellites developed by the European Space Agency. For instance, for the territory of Russia Sentinel-1 performs SAR imaging with 2–3 days coverage frequency. Within the framework of the project carried out by the authors, the research area is the city of Velikiy Ustuyg (Russia) located at the confluence of rivers Suhona and Ug. To identify flooded areas the RADARSAT-2 and Sentinel-1 images classification based on thresholding was carried out in open-source software. The visualization of the results was performed on the basis of information analytical system “Prostor”. The results of SAR data processing were compared with contours obtained on the basis of the calculation of the NDWI index from optical data from the Sentinel-2 and Resurs-P satellites. According to the spatial resolution of the data and the selected processing technology, it is possible to achieve high accuracy of flood mapping in open areas with low urbanization. The result confirms that SAR data can be successfully applied for operational flood forecasting.

Prediction of New $$\rm{A^+B^{3+}X_2^{+5}O_7}$$ A + B 3 + X 2 + 5 O 7 Compounds

Hitherto unprepared compounds of composition ABX2O7 (where A+ and B3+ are different cations; and X = P5+, V5+, As5+, Nb5+, Sb5+, or Ta5+) are predicted. Criteria are found to predict the possibility for these compounds to crystalize in one of the crystal structure types (KAlP2O7, weberite, NaAlP2O7, LiFeP2O7, or pyrochlore) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The prediction is based only on the properties of elements and simple oxides. The average prediction accuracy is at least 88%. The calculations use an information-analytical system (IAS) comprising precedent-based pattern recognition software.

INFORMATION SYSTEM OF TESTING LABORATORY FOR RADIATION CONTROL

Development of information-analytical system of radiation control is based on existing methods and hardware-software measuring instruments for the purpose of systematizing, storing and processing the results of analysis of samples of various composition and origin. Studying a large flow of environmental and technological samples includes the most difficult task to ensure the required accuracy of calculation of activities and errors, especially at low activities levels at the threshold of detectable area. The information system hardware includes a set of devices designed to measure the activity of the samples, and a local computer network. The server part of the software package includes a client-server database management system and a web application for database administration. In addition to the standard programs included in the delivery of radiometric equipment the client part of the software package includes the program "ODRA", developed using object-oriented language C# in Microsoft Visual Studio. The program "ODRA" includes modules for calculating the specific (volumetric) activity of radionuclides in low-active samples of materials and environmental objects, as well as for calculating the relative and absolute error of activity determination. The program has a convenient graphical user interface for database communication. The information system of the radiation testing laboratory of the enterprise that conducts work with radioactive materials has undergone a four-year approbation in the experimental production mode at VNIIHT in 2014-2017 and can significantly reduce the processing time of the results of determining the radioactivity of technological and environmental samples and reduce the operator error factor.

Development of decision support in the structure of the information­analytical system of atmospheric air environmental monitoring

The main problem that determines the efficiency of environmental monitoring systems is the lack of validity of management decisions on correction of environmental situations. In such conditions, a formal versatile basis that describes the information-analytical system (IAS) of environmental monitoring is required.For the development and description of the IAS composition and structure, elements of the theory of fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets and methods of system analysis are used. Thus, the theoretical basis for the development of a versatile IAS structure of environmental monitoring is formed. The set-theoretical model of the information-analytical system of environmental monitoring of atmospheric air at the municipal level, which includes subsystems of the urban system parameter monitoring, decision support, the information system “parameter database - situation knowledge base” is proposed.The decision support subsystem is presented as the decision model that determines the allowable transformations of situations and a set of strategies for applying these transformations to solve the problem of eliminating an adverse situation. The adaptive fuzzy model of situation recognition in the process of environmental monitoring, which allows producing diagnostic conclusions is developed. The diagnostic process is represented by a sequence of actions, which involves three steps: determining the criticality for each situation feature; determining the degree of criticality; providing linguistic features. The advantage of the proposed IAS architecture is the possibility of fast scaling of the decision support system. This is achieved by simply expanding the feature and situation dictionary and the knowledge base, as well as the flexible configuration of the knowledge base by correction of weight ratios of elementary premises of the rules. The general description of the information technology of monitoring and support of operational decision-making on correction of environmentally hazardous situations is formed. The results of setting the fuzzy model of situation recognition by means of experimental learning of the system on the examples – specific results of observations of atmospheric air quality are obtained. The self-learning ability of the system is found, which ultimately will allow limiting the involvement of real individuals as experts in the assessment of environmental situations by automating the diagnostic process

Structural features of tundra and taiga soil humic acids according to IR EXPERT analytical system data

The purpose of this work is to identify the most probable structural fragments of the tundra and the taiga soil humic acids on the basis of computer analysis of their IR spectra. Humic acid (HA) samples were isolated from 11 northern soils of the Komi Republic, Russia. IR spectra were registered in KBr by Bruker FTIR spectrometer Vector-22. IR EXPERT information-analytical system was used for analysis of these spectra. This system is a combination of an extensive database (more than 50,000 correlation records of “IR spectrum–structure–structural fragments–accompanying information”) and software modules that allow solving various spectral-structural tasks. The procedure of working with new IR spectra of humic acid involved two stages. Comparison of the sample IR spectrum with all spectra in IR-EXPERT databases was followed by decomposition of the closest spectral analogs into the set of fragments which is individual for each HA. This unique representation makes it possible to associate a spectrum with a combination of structural fragments rather than with the exact structure. That is what we need for HA. The analysis of the obtained ten-vertex fragments shows that all HA samples contain linear, slightly branched, conjugated chains of double C–C bonds, as well as the fragments of aromatic amines and amides. Using only IR spectroscopy data and the IR EXPERT system, we were able to show that humic acids of these northern soils are predominantly aliphatic and contain a large number of oxygen-containing groups, which allows one to predict their high reactivity when interacting with ecotoxicants.
