Conditions and possibilities of using e-logistics in manufacturing enterprises

Progressing globalisation, competitiveness and implemented technological innovations constitute important challenges for enterprises operating in such a turbulent environment. Organisations are forced to adapt much faster and more flexibly to rapidly changing market conditions. Manufacturing companies realise that it is impossible to meet market requirements by constantly using conventional methods of operation, especially in the sphere of physical flows of goods, information and financial resources, for which logistics is responsible. One of the solutions that can support manufacturing companies is e-logistics, which enriches logistics phases and processes in the sphere of information technology (IT) and information and communication technologies (ICT). The aim of the study is to identify the conditions and possibilities of using e-logistics in Polish manufacturing enterprises.

A Realizable Data Encryption Strategy

As technology continues to advance, data has become an increasingly important element in the sphere of Information Technology. However, enormous data generated by devices presents a major challenge in handling it in real time. Data encryption is a crucial component in ensuring data security and privacy during its transmission in network. Unfortunately, many applications disregard data encryption in order to achieve higher performance. The work proposes a solution to this problem by introducing a data encryption process that is, the Realizable Data Encryption Strategy (RDES) and Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) computing, a revolutionary cryptographic method that improves information security by preventing authorized access to sensitive data, being used. Information security is improved by DNA symmetric cryptography being suggested. The outcomes show that plain-text encryption is a very secure procedure. The RDES approach is designed to improve privacy protection within the constraints of real-time processing. By implementing the RDES approach, data privacy and security can be significantly enhanced without compromising performance.

Complex communicative and cognitive tasks in teaching a foreign language to students of information technology training areas

Importance. The information technology sphere has been defined by the President of the Russian Federation as one of the priorities for the development of the country’s economy and maintaining its independence status. Higher education in the field of information technology makes a significant contribution to the formation of the personnel of the industry. The purpose of education at the university is to form a highly professional personality of an IT specialist with a range of competencies. Among them, competencies related to the ability to independently obtain the necessary information, constantly update professional knowledge and experience in the rapidly developing technology sector play a special role. The need to catch up with more successful players in the field of high-tech solutions (USA, China, South Korea) determines the important role of a foreign language in the professional training of computer science students. The focus of the research is on a specific type of foreign-language educational activity – complex communicative and cognitive tasks designed to model the conditions of interrelated foreign-language communicative and intellectual activities of students.Research Methods. To conduct the research, theoretical methods are used: the study of scientific literature, analysis, generalization, synthesis of the main provisions, on the basis of which practical methods are implemented – modeling and description of students’ speech-thinking activity in the course of solving complex communicative and cognitive tasks.Results and Discussion. The theoretical justification and practical illustration of the algorithm for creating a complex communicative and cognitive task are presented. The principles of learning based on complex communicative and cognitive tasks are highlighted, an algorithm for selecting content and teaching methods are presented. A specific example of a task for the purposes of higher education is given.Conclusion. The authenticity of the quasi-professional experience obtained during the learning process can be achieved through the integration of communicative and intellectual activities in the professional field. The “brainwork-speech” dichotomy can be implemented in practical pedagogical activities on the basis of complex communicative-cognitive learning problems.

Modern approaches to the organization of physical education in the sphere of information technologies taking into account the conditions of their professional activities

The article presents a study of the scientific works of leading researchers on physical education in institutions of higher education, which allow us to assert its insufficient humanistic and professional orientation, confirm the absence of a scientifically based model of the system of physical education in the country as a whole and specifically in each institution of higher education in accordance with its training profile. It is shown that during the development of educational and work programs for students of higher education in accordance with modern technologies, specialists of physical education departments of higher education institutions need to take into account the specifics of a specific future profession, as well as the gender and individual characteristics of those who study in connection with the heterogeneity of the student contingent . At the same time, the professional activity of information technology specialists is characterized, in addition to the presence of important mental and personal qualities inherent in general professional activity, as well as the presence of individual skills for working on or with a computer, as well as specific conditions of study and work, which impose an additional imprint on the structure of special applied physical training of students of higher education.
 It has been established that the issue of physical education of future information technology specialists is represented in the literature only by isolated studies, there are no centralized methodical instructions, recommendations, training manuals on issues of its organization in institutions of higher education. The attention of specialists was focused only on the study of the role of dexterity for the successful professional activity of specialists, and the importance of the mental characteristics of the development of the body of students of information specialties (attention, memory, etc.) during the performance of their professional duties was also shown. At the same time, there are no works aimed at researching the formation of motor skills and skills of a professional orientation in the process of physical education, taking into account the gender and the future specialty of an information technology specialist.

The use of scientific and practical tools for assessing the level of digitalization, innovative development of the system of economic security of enterprises in the field of information technology solved the problem of information support for managerial decision-making and made it possible to assess digitalization and innovative development of the system of economic security of enterprises.

On the analysis of sociodynamics of student youth competences in the sphere of Internet technologies and safety of network behavior

The article analyzes the sociodynamics of student youth competences, in particular future lawyers, in the sphere of information technologies and security of network behavior in the conditions of activation of destructive network influences during the special military operation of Russia on the territory of Ukraine. The relevant competencies of students were analyzed in the framework of systematic, purposeful mastering of them according to the results of the entrance and final questionnaire in the form of self-analysis. In the process of the research the following tasks were solved: (1) study of the sociodynamics of network behavior of young users, their knowledge, competencies, attitudes, specific actions and deeds that affect the physical and psychological state in the conditions of interaction in the virtual environment and the use of digital technologies; (2) analyzing the knowledge about the risks of destructive effects of using various Internet resources and content, studying their readiness to counteract negative network influence in modern conditions; (3) analyzing the correlation of the obtained data with the analytics published on the Internet in 2020–2022 based on the results of sociological surveys on similar topics.As the surveys have shown, in order to form safe online behavior of young people on the Internet, minimize the risks of destructive network influence, and ensure information security, it is important to initially and systematically instill the skills of competent online behavior in children, adolescents and young users at all stages of their development and education. It is necessary to teach them to correctly define the boundaries of reliability and misinformation, to ensure the mastery of knowledge about the basics of information security, to form and consolidate skills and competencies to apply the acquired knowledge, including critical thinking, and to counteract destructive network influences. These tasks are especially relevant in the current socio-political environment of special military operation and intensification of information warfare.

Тенденции в переводе терминов в сфере информационных технологий: сравнительный анализ разновременных англо-русских переводных словарей (1990 г. и 2011 г.)

The study aims to determine the dynamics of changes and evolution of the ways of translating information technology (IT) terms from English into Russian. The five main techniques of translating terms in the IT sphere, i.e. loan translation, functional analogue, descriptive translation, transcription and transliteration, served as the object of analysis. The study is novel in that it carries out the first comprehensive comparative analysis of changes in the techniques of translation of terms in the IT field for the period from 1990 to 2011. The results of the study showed that the most commonly used techniques of translating new English-language terms in the IT field were transcription, loan translation and transliteration. Comparing the data for 1990 and 2011, we can note dynamic changes in the use of these techniques. The largest number of replacements in the 2011 dictionary was represented by a group of terms translated by the descriptive method, the most frequent replacement was by functional analogue and loan translation. These data expand our understanding of internal processes in the Russian language, necessitate the improvement of translation practice in the field of IT translation and the development of new technologies for a more effective adaptation of foreign terminology to the Russian language.

Legal Characteristics of the Quality of Patents in the Sphere of Information Technologies: Statement of the Problem

Patents are an important element of economic growth that promotes innovation through the creation of new scientific and technological knowledge. The impact of patents on stimulating innovation and economic growth is undeniable. At the same time, the role of protecting the results of intellectual activity is emphasized in order to increase competitiveness and increase applications. As a result, the number of patents for applying new technologies and attracting new participants within the system (i.e. high-tech entities, research institutions, start-ups and networks) has grown exponentially, jeopardizing the future functioning of the patent system. Patents are still increasingly used by business entities and government research organizations to protect new inventions, IT solutions, technologies that generate new waves of innovation and contribute to changing the current national civil legislation of the Russian Federation.

ФОРМУВАННЯ ЗМІСТУ ОСВІТИ ДОРОСЛИХ У ВЕЛИКІЙ БРИТАНІЇ В ДРУГІЙ ПОЛОВИНІ ХХ – ПЕРШІЙ ЧВЕРТІ ХХІ СТ.

The article examined the peculiarities of the formation of the content of adult education in the UK in the second half of the 20th - first quarter of the 21st century. The author has determined that education of adults is gaining importance in the system of modern processes of globalization, integration and informatization of society. Therefore, its new role is determined by the increase of its social value, changes in the conditions of life-long activity of people, as well as by corresponding age, psychological, social characteristics of adults. Since the concept of adult education should be considered as a rather specific process of human development, which is taking place throughout its life, the rapid change in modern society objectively prompted the need to form and develop a personality capable of adequately perceiving and creating such changes as a natural norm. Therefore, adaptation to such changes is impossible without satisfying the educational needs of a person throughout her life. The article also noted that in the UK formal and informal education is important and functionally related parts of the adult education system. In particular, formal education is provided by higher educational institutions, namely: Universities, further education institutions, polytechnics, colleges. Informal education for adults is provided by educational associations, national educational organizations. The most progressive approach to adult education in the UK is information. The use of multimedia technologies motivates a new paradigm in educational methods and strategies, which, in turn, requires new approaches, forms of education and innovative ways of transfer of educational materials to adult learning people. Moreover, the functioning of the Internet has expanded the possibilities of education within the global perspective, as well as providing educational access to educational resources and information throughout the world. Studies have shown that in the 21st century, the UK is undergoing intensive development and introduction of modern information technologies in various spheres of society, including science and education. Ukraine is taking quite powerful steps toward entering the world information space. Modern adult education is impossible without functioning of distance learning system, network of electronic libraries, introduction of information technologies in the sphere of scientific research and training, and also specialized scientific and educational computer network, which are considered as the basis for creation of the Ukrainian scientific educational portal.

The proposed concept is also aimed at improving interaction and in-service communication of the officials of the preliminary investigation bodies with the officials of information-technological systems for the purposes of collecting evidentiary information in electronic form. Scientific novelty : the changes were systemically analyzed, which are taking place in the contemporary information society, through the prism of the emerging problems between the sectoral criminal-procedural evidentiary law and more modern technological means of collecting evidentiary information. The article demonstrates a new approach to creating technological interaction using digital technologies, on the scientific base of organization of proving activity, intended to optimize and rationalize the process of proving in criminal procedure. Practical significance : the research materials can be used to prepare proposals on making changes and additions in the current legislation with a view of implementing the practice of already functioning models of criminal-procedural activity of foreign countries, an inexhaustible potential of information-technologies, software, and artificial intelligence to rationalize proving in criminal cases.

Development and financing of the high-tech sphere in the Eurasian Economic Union countries

The degree of innovative development and implementation of high technologies determines the competitiveness of not only individual companies, but also the entire countries. High-tech companies, as a key element in the value chain, play an important role in the industrial transformation and restructuring of the current economic model, thus becoming a driver of structural shifts in the economy. In this regard, a well-developed state policy in the sphere of high technologies with effective financing tools acquires special relevance. The article deals with the peculiarities of development of the high-tech sphere in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. A special emphasis in the research is placed on Russia as the leading country of the Union. It is revealed that in the conditions of international sanctions pressure the technological policy of Russia is focused on achieving such strategic goals as technological sovereignty, commercialization of technologies and restoration of the system of technological and production relations. The paper analyzes government support measures for the high-tech sector and startup financing mechanisms in the countries under consideration. The study showed that the driver of high-tech activity in most countries of the Eurasian Economic Union is the sphere of information technologies. At the same time, Kyrgyzstan has the most modest results. The article reveals the main problems hindering the development of the high-tech sphere, including unfavorable market conditions, underdeveloped institutional environment, lack of financial resources and lack of local investors. At the same time in the majority of countries of the Eurasian Economic Union there is a shortage of highly qualified specialists, however in Armenia the problem of the young specialists deficit is the most acute. The study also identifies the main vectors of further development of the sphere of high technologies, taking into account the current geopolitical instability.

ЗАГРОЗИ ТА ВИКЛИКИ ПРОДУКТИВНІЙ СПРОМОЖНОСТІ СФЕРИ ПОСЛУГ РЕГІОНІВ УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ВІЙНИ ТА ПОВОЄННОЇ РОЗБУДОВИ УКРАЇНИ

The article focuses on the defining role of the service sector for the national economy, which in the conditions of a full-scale war performs a budget-forming function, provides the population with jobs, and strengthens the security of the state. The importance of identifying challenges and threats to the productive capacity of services for both scientists and authorities is substantiated in the paper. The article emphasizes the changes that affected the main factors of productivity: labor and capital. The transformations of the labor market caused by combat operations are analyzed, in particular economic shifts, regional disparities, and sectoral imbalances. The process of business adaptation to the new conditions of economic activity and the restoration of its business activity in the period from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023 is covered. The problem of the decrease in the purchasing power of the population, which is an important consumer of commercial services, in connection with the growth of inflation and the consumer price index for goods and services, a decrease in wages, and an increase in the share of the unemployed are described. It was noted that the war led to a significant weakening of the resilience of Ukrainian businesses both in bombproof and close to the contact line regions, which is confirmed by a rather low index of business activity. Also, in the paper are described challenges for the functioning of retail and wholesale trade, the Information Technology sphere, and the sphere of cultural services which differ from typical issues for Ukrainian business during the war. Direct and indirect losses of various branches of the service sector are significant and grow as the hostilities continue. A number of measures that can be implemented by state, regional, and local authorities today and in the post-war period to support the quality of life of the population and the productive capacity of the economy and especially the service sector, as well as the creation of conditions for business activities capable of ensuring the restoration of economic activity in the regions of Ukraine are proposed.

New prospects for the development of electronic justice in sentencing

It is stated in the article that today Ukraine has received the status of a candidate for EU membership with the requirement, in particular, strengthening of anti-corruption and continuation of judicial reform. These challenges for national security are foreseen in the Strategy for the Development of the Justice System and Constitutional Judiciary for 2021–2023 (approved by the Decree of the President of Ukraine dated June 11, 2021 No. 231/2021). Separate measures to solve the specified problems are defined, in particular, the development of electronic justice taking into account world standards in the sphere of information technologies. It has been established that such measures mostly solve the issue of communication and access to justice, but the fairly promising issue of using information technology in the administration of justice remains neglected. The subject of our research is the issue of the introduction of electronic justice through the use of cybernetic methods by judges when imposing punishment. It has been established that the issue of the use of cybernetic methods by judges in sentencing is almost not investigated in Ukraine today and does not find appropriate implementation in conceptual documents on reforming the justice system.
 The analysis of the world experience of information technologies’ introduction makes it possible to draw a conclusion about its use in solving various legal issues: the detection and investigation of crimes, the expansion of communication between citizens and judicial authorities, the legal assessment of actions, etc.
 It is concluded that the formation of modern legislation based on the principles of wide application of judicial discretion is a “genetic” feature in the history of the former USSR republics legislation development. It is noted that the insufficient definition of criminal legal norms, the ambiguity of some terms, the variability of the punishment, the absence of detailed and clear rules for the imposition of punishment in the law significantly complicate the law enforcement process. All this leads to differences in judicial practice, to judicial errors, manifestations of corruption and, as a result, to a decrease in the authority of the judiciary.
 The analysis of the criminal law doctrine provisions proved that the idea of formalizing the appointment of criminal punishment did not receive proper development, although it was considered in the works of individual authors. Two directions of cybernetic methods using in the programming of the sentencing process have been identified: full and partial. It is concluded that the study of H. Alikperov “Electronic Scales of Justice”, which is based on the matrix of punishment and algorithms of its individualization, is promising for borrowing when creating new criminal legislation and reforming justice.
 The conducted research makes it possible to draw the following conclusions: the issue of automating judicial decision-making in modern conditions of digitization, reforming the judicial system and finding new effective means of combating corruption in the administration of justice in Ukraine requires a new understanding and possible reception for implementation in law enforcement activities; informational progress cannot be left without proper control by the state and must not violate human rights and freedoms; the use of cybernetic methods of formalizing punishment is impossible without stable criminal legislation and fair sanctions of prohibitive criminal legal norms that correspond to the public danger of the offense; conceptual documents regarding the development of the justice system should take into account the possibilities of using modern technologies not only to expand communication between subjects, access to justice, but also the use of information technologies specifically in the implementation of justice.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN COUNTERACTING ECONOMIC CRIMES COMMITTED IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Combating economic crimes committed in the field of information technology is important not only at the state level, but also at the international level. This is due to the fact that committing these crimes is in no way limited by borders of the state. Due to the fact that these crimes are spread around the world, each state has its own experience in dealing with them. In this work we suggest analyzing peculiarities of existing international practices of counteraction to economic crimes in the sphere of information technologies.

Article on Role of Cyberspace in Geopolitics-Pegasus

Abstract: In the sphere of information technology, cyber security plays a critical role. In today’s world, protecting information and data security has become one of the most difficult tasks. Today in Geopolitics cyberspace has also become very important as it is the new warzone which can not only temper their internal security but economy too. Use of spywares, trojans and many malicious worms has increased exponentially, so we have tried to write an article by our own on one such spyware which was also a hotshot topic few times back "Pegasus". Today, a cyber-attack will affect more people than any conventional attack .Though various steps have been taken in India to combat these attacks, but still there are some cyberweapons which are affecting the privacy and cyberspace at international level. There are some spywares which became popular like Stuxnet, DUQU, Botnet etc.as they became a threat to Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of a nation.

Russian Science as an Object of Unfair Global Competition

The article is devoted to the analysis of the manifestations and consequences for Russian science of the phenomenon of monopolization by a narrow group of foreign economic entities (the collective dominant in the information technology sphere) of the global R&D markets, scientific publications and services that provide them, including services for access to aggregated scientific data and analytics, etc.).It is concluded that the key tool for monopolizing the relevant markets is lobbying the interests of the collective dominant in international organizations and state authorities representing the interests of competitors, establishing direct and indirect control over market entry barriers for all other participants.According to the authors, the bad faith of global competition on the part of foreign participants in collective dominance in relation to Russian scientific and educational organizations in the respective markets is manifested primarily in the absolute and relative «leakage» of the most qualified scientists and specialists from the country, as well as the results of scientific activity. This was facilitated by the introduction into the regulatory practice of the country of the so-called «international» standards of scientific publication activity, reporting, performance of scientific qualification works, global competition of economic entities in the scientific and educational sphere.The authors propose and justify a number of measures aimed at overcoming the dependence of Russian science and higher education on the negative impact of global unfair competition in the relevant field. The basis of these measures should be the development of a new national (mainly expert) system for assessing the effectiveness of scientific activities, the effectiveness of scientific and educational organizations, which would be focused on ensuring sustainable development, security and sovereignty of the country, strengthening the spiritual and moral health of the nation and increasing the well-being of its citizens.

Представления молодежи об искусственном интеллекте и отношение к нему

Introduction. The development of information technology (IT) and artificial intelligence (AI) are significantly changing the modern world, which raises the question of the impact of these technologies on humankind. Theoretical analysis. Research on human-IT interaction is most often determined in terms of benefits for education, threats in terms of harm to health, including psychological health, and the formation of addictive behavior. However, the sphere of attitudes towards AI has been researched insufficiently. The purpose of the study is to identify the perception of young people about artificial intelligence and attitudes towards it. Conclusions. The study is based on the method of a written questionnaire survey among students of humanitarian and social areas of study. The obtained results allow us to conclude that among young people there is no clear understanding of the differences between AI and algorithmic computer programs, the practical skills of using developed well, however, the comprehension, conceptualization of AI among young people remains low. Young people assessing the AI as “useful and dangerous”, while the benefits assessed “in general“, its content is difficult to reflect, and “threats“ assessed in terms of popular media discourse and popular literary plots. The study of representations and relationships allows to create a certain necessary distance of perception and provide a reflection of the relationship between a person and the IT and AI sphere. Based on the findings, it is possible to plan further studies of human attitudes towards IT and AI.

Soft and hard skills identification: insights from IT job advertisements in the CIS region.

Labor market transformations significantly affect the sphere of information technologies (IT) introducing new instruments, architectures, and frameworks. Employers operate with new knowledge domains which demand specific competencies from workers including combinations of both technical (“hard”) and non-technical (“soft”) skills. The educational system is now required to provide the alumni with up-to-date skill sets covering the latest labor market trends. However, there is a big concern about the self-adaptation of educational programs for meeting the companies’ needs. Accordingly, frequent changes in job position requirements call for the tool for in-time categorization of vacancies and skills extraction. This study aims to show the demand for skills in the IT sphere in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region and discover the mapping between required skill sets and job occupations. The proposed methodology for skills identification uses natural language processing, hierarchical clustering, and association mining techniques. The results reveal explicit information about the combinations of “soft” and “hard” skills required for different professional groups. These findings provide valuable insights for supporting educational organizations, human resource (HR) specialists, and state labor authorities in the renewal of existing knowledge about skill sets for IT professionals. In addition, the provided methodology for labor market monitoring has a high potential to ensure effective matching of employees.

Законодательство как фактор развития государственно-частного партнерства в сфере информационных технологий

Introduction. Public-private partnership (PPP) in world practice has established itself as an effective tool for interaction between business and government in the implementation of socially significant projects. The state got the opportunity to attract a private investor to solve strategic problems of social development. Information technology (IT) is no exception. In the context of globalization and digitalization of the economy, development of information technology sphere is becoming highly relevant, since it determines the level of information security and development of the country as a whole. Theoretical analysis. The main research method was the analysis of the basic laws governing public-private partnerships in the IT sphere both in Russia and abroad, which made it possible to identify the differences in the PPP legislation of different countries. Empirical analysis. The analysis of the legislation of different countries in the field of public-private partners in relation to the IT industry enabled the authors to divide countries into four groups, depending on the characteristics and level of its development. The first group of countries is characterized by the absence of a law on PPP at the state level, application of international legal norms and availability of methodological recommendations in the field of PPP. In the second group, countries have a fundamental law on PPP without specifying the spheres of its application, or a list of spheres has been formed and it includes the IT industry. In the third group, there is a general law on PPP with a list of specific areas that does not include the sphere of information technology. The fourth group of countries has no legislation on PPP. Results. The authors identified the problems of legislation in the field of public-private partnership in relation to IT projects. In particular, it was determined that Russian laws in the field of PPP have relatively more specificity in relation to IT projects than foreign ones. However, this is far from always being good and creates artificial restrictions for the development of this mechanism for attracting a private partner to finance IT projects that are significant for society. The highlighted shortcomings of the Russian legislation will help to improve efficiency and controllability of PPP projects in the IT sphere, when eliminated.
