MATHEMATICAL APPROACH TO THE FORMATION OF A METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF ECONOMIC RATIONALITY OF INTERACTION OF ELEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM OF LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT IN AGRICULTURE

The field of managing the logistics of agricultural products under significant dynamic changes in today's conditions requires the formation of new approaches using the possibilities of modern information tools. The article presents a systematic mathematical approach to logistics management in agriculture for conditions with an insignificant level of risk and under conditions of significant threats to the logistics processes of the agricultural industry. The presented study also examines the issue of analyzing the effectiveness of management actions in the logistics process, both operationally and strategically.The developed mathematical approach takes into account a wide range of conditions for carrying out logistics activities - both at a low level of risk in the implementation of the logistics process, and in circumstances of significant threats that lead to the minimization of the reliability of logistics in the agricultural sector. This is especially important today, given the significant level of negative impacts on logistics processes due to military threats. The growth of these influences even leads to the destabilization of the world food market, and the threat of famine in some regions of the world.The proposed mathematical approach takes into account both the emergence of new risks, the significantly increased dynamic nature of the effects on logistics activities in the agricultural sector of the economy, and the traditional specificity of the conditions for the implementation of logistics processes in the agricultural sector. The specificity of logistics management in the agricultural sector is due to the peculiarities of the agricultural production process; properties inherent in agricultural products, conditions of distribution of these products. This determines a wide range of tasks that must be performed by the logistics of the agricultural sector. This, in turn, creates a need for a highly adaptive dynamic approach when forming a set and combination of logistics tasks and goals. Algorithms, tools and methods were specially developed to implement this approach. In particular: the unification of target functions; the approach of flexible adaptive changes in the ranks of target functions to ensure the appropriate level of rationality of logistics process management; a compromise approach in the case of the need to simultaneously achieve a group of set goals or a group of goals; the approach of assessing the strategic impact of a management decision for operating not with static values of parameters, but with their trends over time. In general, this makes it possible to achieve the appropriate level of economic efficiency of agricultural logistics management even with dynamic changes in the conditions of its implementation and to ensure a high level of reliability of the logistics process even with an increase in the level of threats.

Collecting and analyzing news from newspaper posts in facebook using machine learning

Many people use social networks to spend their free time. News, especially at the time of great world changes, began to gain considerable popularity. Washington Post, New York Times, Time, Reuters, Forbes are among the most famous global newspaper publications. An average analyst can spend up to 40 hours a week collecting information about competitors and researching the most popular posts. According to the conducted research, an average of 40 new posts with news per day. The data processing process can be automated using modern information tools to facilitate the routine work of analysts. To analyze the target audience and reach, it is worth considering the text of the message, the number of likes, comments and links. This information was obtained using the Selenium automated web page testing tool using the Java programming language. The time spent on collecting data in the described way from four newspaper editions amounts to approximately 12 hours. The Tensorflow library using the JavaScript programming language is applied to the collected information. Based on information about the number of shares, comments, likes, frequency of news posts, an analysis was carried out using machine learning algorithms. Based on the clustering data, we can observe such a tendency that posts with a large number of likes receive a large number of comments and vice versa. An analysis of the most active hours of users in the network based on news posts is performed. As a result, the highest activity is observed at least three times a day, namely: in the morning hours from 9:00 to 11:00, in the lunch time of the day from 12:00 to 15:00 and in the evening time period from 18:00 to 20:00. This trend is due to the work schedule of most employees during the working week. The resulting statistical information in the work can be used for other content or user behavior in social networks.

The comprehensive development of information systems creates conditions for the development and implementation of modern information tools that automate, and thereby more effectively implement management processes. At the same time, due to the increasing complexity of information systems and the information technologies used in them, the volume of requirements for them is growing. One of the directions for introducing IS into modern models of military equipment is information systems control units. Modern information systems control units not only provide control of the military equipment sample, but also provide operational data exchange with the crew. Modern database modeling complexes (such as PEO STRI, the American company "Alion Science & Technology") make it possible to simulate the combat actions of a unit with the exchange of data between the crew (experts). The main role in ensuring the security of accounting subsystems of modern database modeling complexes should be played by well-tried and tested methods of modern cryptography. The use of one or another cryptographic protocol or algorithm should be dictated by necessity and validity. Since in the modern conditions of the development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in general and in the accounting subsystems of modern database modeling complexes in particular, ensuring secure data exchange is an urgent task, such measures should be taken when exchanging data in which data transmission from each workstation of the system is not available to third parties. persons, therefore it is proposed to use blockchain technology in the field of electronic data exchange. Thus, when exchanging data, such measures are used in which the transfer of data from each workstation of the system was not available to third parties. This process increases the likelihood of eliminating the possibility of data leakage. However, with secure data exchange, this procedure cannot be considered completely adequate, since this method of data exchange cannot be tested on a large number of operators (that is, at the operational-tactical level). Keywords: data exchange, workplace data protection modeling, blockchain, information systems, military operations.

Modern information tools in judicial and lawying

The latest technical revolution introduces information and communication technologies in all spheres of social relations and human life. Active digital modernization of many processes in the judiciary and advocacy has begun, through the use of modern electronic hardware, IoT devices, specialized software, artificial intelligence, chatbots, webbots, etc. These processes have a positive impact on the organization of judicial and advocacy activities, as they improve the quality, level and speed of work of judges and lawyers.The vast majority of information created and used in the judiciary and advocacy has text file formats structured in accordance with the requirements of procedural codes and regulations, which contain stable rules of law and formal-ized descriptions of events or actions of subjects. This promotes the use of modern methods and digital technologies for analytical processing of court materials. World experience in the use of artificial intelligence, neural networks and other types of software shows positive prospects for the introduction of electronic courts. The introduction of modern information technologies and processes in the judiciary and the bar has a number of risks, one of which is that in fact the current system is testing the mechanism of automated, without human intervention, the creation of justice. At this initial stage, it is studied whether artificial intelligence, which manages specialized software products and IoT devices, is able to sufficiently process all information materials of the trial, provide them with a legal assessment and prepare a draft lawful and reasonable decision. communication technology and artificial intelligence in the judiciary and advo-cacy is an irreversible process. Currently, it is at an early stage, which can be classified as research work using modern information and communication technologies, which is quite temporarily chaotic, despite attempts at regulation by the state. However, this process is positive and aimed at achieving the goal of improving the efficiency of justice in Ukraine.

Conceptualisation of the newest tools of knowledge-based communication in the teaching / learning process at a higher educational establishment

The presented study considers the current problem of the pedagogical process of higher education institution – knowledge transfer and exchange in the form of knowledge-based communications in the teaching / learning process of higher school based on ICT tools. It is highlighted that information tools for providing the learning process should be structured according to the importance of synchronous and asynchronous tools, where synchronous tools should be given a secondary role. The feedback they provide is an important contribution to the task related to the evaluation of the pedagogical influence on the audience in traditional or online modes. The importance of such subordination is typical both of lectures, seminars, laboratory and practical classes. Among the characterised modern information tools of the organisation of e-learning in institutions of higher education, discussion forums are singled out. Initially, discussion forums were used as a form of online entertainment. With the development of the Internet industry, their main purpose is shifted to the area of the tasks dealing with building relationships with customers (participants of the learning process, i.e. students). It`s worth emphasising that discussion forums have been performed very well in terms of their application in online learning. This allows transferring all possible spontaneous or purposeful discussions that can arise within a real audience in a separate type of time-related and spatially mediated web-based communication. Such a communication will be effectively continued within the framework outlined by the external moderator (i.e. a teacher). Using the peculiarities of discussion forums allows implementing them as an information and learning tool with all the necessary settings in accordance with the information needs of specific users, their groups and moderation levels. Thus, discussion forums are a kind of network-based means of knowledge transfer in the information and learning environment of higher school. Learning discussion forums are a type of information exchange, which is provided by relevant communication means and information instruments. It is their use that enables the organisation of the teaching / learning process for virtual communities and training profession-based communication in the web environment of the information space of higher education institutions.

Modernization of information-measuring systems for grain processing

The paper discusses the basic operation principles of information-measuring systems for optimization wheat grain processing. The quality of grain processing products (cereals, flour, etc.) is influenced by both weather and climatic factors and grinding technologies. The modern development of information technologies makes it possible to modernize the existing information-measuring systems for grain processing and create new ones through the development of algorithms for analyzing the physical characteristics of the grain mass. During the study, test grinding of wheat grains of different varieties was carried out in a laboratory mill. To increase the yield of the finished product, digitalization of the selection of optimal grain separation modes was used. The obtained mathematical models allow predicting the quality of grain separation in separators of various types. The digitalization of the grain processing industry includes the use of artificial neural networks to analyze images of the grain mass using computer vision algorithms. It is promising to increase the information content of granulometric analysis using modern intelligent (information-measuring) systems. For the classification of wheat according to the milling properties, it is proposed to use the grain hardness. The studies used computer vision and artificial neural networks to find and organize the particles of grain grinding by geometric properties. The characteristics of the contours of the images of the grinding particles were taken into account. The values obtained by the developed information-measuring system were compared with that obtained using the Russian State Standard GOST methods. The error in assessing the grain hardness by the new method does not exceed 3.5%. The use of modern information tools allows improving the quality of wheat grain processing.

Methods Of Educating Youth In The Spirit Of Patriotism, Physical And Intellectual Devotion To The Motherland

Improving the effectiveness of education to ensure that the person is at the centre of education and young people receive an independent education, they are well prepared in educational institutions and, in addition to solid knowledge in their field, possess modern pedagogical technologies and interactive methods. we need teachers who know the rules of use when organizing reading and educational activities. To do this, it is necessary to equip all-natural science teachers with new pedagogical technologies and interactive methods, apply the knowledge gained in teaching and educational activities, and constantly improve their qualifications. Today, the use of new pedagogical technologies in education is becoming increasingly important. It is known that pedagogical technology is intended for the educational process and determines the goal of the process of personality formation in society. The pedagogical system needs updating as society changes. The “National Program for Personnel Training” set the goal of education in a new direction: “to get rid of the ideological stigma of the past, to train highly qualified personnel that meet the highest moral and ethical standards at the level of developed democracies”. That is, today it is necessary to completely update the content of pedagogical technology, the goal of teaching, and the improvement of the pedagogical process. Education-based on advanced pedagogical technologies with the skilful use of traditional teaching methods is a requirement of our time. The main goal of reforming the education system is to develop students' ability to think independently, use modern information tools and teach them to apply their knowledge to solve any problems.

СУЧАСНІ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНІ МОБІЛЬНІ ЗАСОБИ НАВЧАННЯ В ЗАКЛАДАХ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ

The article is devoted to modern information tools of training as a way to optimize the process of training future specialists. Emphasis is placed on the importance of technological innovation and the theory of learning in the application of a variety of technologies to teaching and teaching. It is determined that the patterns of behavior of modern students are changing with respect to their rapidly expanding digital environment. Modern digital students think and process information differently from their predecessors – thinking in parallel and linear models and reading visual images that could be used to read text. It is emphasized that new technologies, such as those described in the article, can give students of the information society and the interaction society the opportunity to receive increased and continuous participation in learning. Active students interact with their environment and manipulate objects in that environment, observe the impact of their interventions, and build their own interpretations of the phenomena and results of manipulations, share these interpretations with others. These descriptions offer connections to previously identified features of the Information Society and the Society for Interaction and New Technologies. Different approaches of providing modern active education in higher education institutions are analyzed. In summary, mobile learning devices can provide individuality through unique profiles, this category of technology can be a proper choice of learning environment aimed at enhancing individual learning orientation. Mobile devices need to be in tune with how events are happening around the world and the web, even if those devices have been used for personal purposes only. It is emphasized that a critical aspect of such a strategy is that the mobile device is not simply integrated into the educational and higher education institutions or fell into the hands of its user, as has been done, for example, with recent initiatives on computers and laptops. On the contrary, individual profiles must be intentionally designed into the device and involved in the educational process in educational institutions in general and in higher education institutions in particular.

Modern information tools: their place in students’ extra-curriculum and involvement of them in motor activity of health related orientation

Purpose: to determine place and role of modern information tools in formation of motivation for health related motor functioning. Material: in the research 150 boys and 150 girls participated. All they were questioned. Results: we have determined that in hierarchy of students’ functioning in extra-curriculum time its general kinds prevail. Special kinds of health related motor functioning take unfairly low position. Among general kinds of functioning Internet dominates. We found that health related motor functioning takes low position in general hierarchy: only 2 % of girls and 5.3 % of boys use it in form of training of favorite kind of sports; accordingly 8% and 6 % - in the form of walks in the open air. Conclusions: it is necessary to uses students’ preferences of Internet for their involvement in health related motor functioning.

Synthetic biology: mapping the scientific landscape.

This article uses data from Thomson Reuters Web of Science to map and analyse the scientific landscape for synthetic biology. The article draws on recent advances in data visualisation and analytics with the aim of informing upcoming international policy debates on the governance of synthetic biology by the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA) of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. We use mapping techniques to identify how synthetic biology can best be understood and the range of institutions, researchers and funding agencies involved. Debates under the Convention are likely to focus on a possible moratorium on the field release of synthetic organisms, cells or genomes. Based on the empirical evidence we propose that guidance could be provided to funding agencies to respect the letter and spirit of the Convention on Biological Diversity in making research investments. Building on the recommendations of the United States Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues we demonstrate that it is possible to promote independent and transparent monitoring of developments in synthetic biology using modern information tools. In particular, public and policy understanding and engagement with synthetic biology can be enhanced through the use of online interactive tools. As a step forward in this process we make existing data on the scientific literature on synthetic biology available in an online interactive workbook so that researchers, policy makers and civil society can explore the data and draw conclusions for themselves.

Arquitetura empresarial: um conceito interface entre a economia e a administração da Firma

This paper aims to broadly discuss a subject that intends to be an interface between the economics and the management of the firm: the Enterprise Architecture. This concept is viewed here as the most appropriate means to understand the impact of the information content, of the information systems, and of the information and communication technologies- ICTs on the internal technological and organizational choices of the firm. In support to this argument it relies on three main steps. Initially, a brief review of the main theories (economic and management) of the firm is made highlighting their contributions, caveats and convergences. Then the paper bases its analysis on the concept of the firm as an “engine of information” and on a concept from the Computing Science and Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, to point out that these concepts bring up important contributions towards a more consistent interpretation of what the firm is (or how it is organized) currently, in which is practically impossible to exist without the modern information tools. Finally, it is presented an innovative methodology, in an analogy to the Structure-Conduct-Performance Paradigm (that is traditionally used on the empirical market analysis), which identifies the firm according to three linear connected approaches: its architecture, its governance, and its growth strategy.
