Energy-cyber-physical system enabled management for energy-intensive manufacturing industries

Cleaner production is a green production way to minimize emissions and waste as well as maximize product output. Cleaner production has proven itself as an effective way to reduce energy consumption and improve material utilization during the whole manufacturing process. However, the implementation of cleaner production strategy is facing barriers due to the lack of applying advanced technologies such as cloud manufacturing, Internet of Things, and cyber-physical system. Based on these advanced technologies, this paper presents an architecture of energy-cyber-physical system enabled management for energy-intensive manufacturing industries to promote the implementation of cleaner production strategy. An energy-cyber-physical system enabled green manufacturing model for the future smart factory is proposed. Then the qualitative and quantitative synergetic models based on energy-cyber-physical system are developed for cleaner manufacturing. Finally, an application of a partner company is presented to demonstrate the proposed framework and synergistic models. The results show that energy consumption can be greatly reduced using synergistic evaluation models. Further managerial implications are summarized to increase the level of synergy of energy-cyber-physical system, which can achieve cleaner production strategy by making energy-efficient decisions from different departments.

Application of System and Synergetic Paradigm of Management of Social-Economic, Educational Processes in Ukraine

Due to widening the system and synergetic methodology in the sphere of socio-economic research, the synergetic methodology is extrapolated on managing social-economic processes at the level of constructing the model of such a process. The research is consecutively conducted on three methodological levels – the general/overall (general principles of synergetics are realized in socio-economic sphere), the peculiar/specific (general principles of synergetics are realized in socio-economic systems management) and the single/individual (the synergetic principles of socio-economic systems management are realized in the sphere of education on the level of the model of educational systems management using temporary self-ruled managerial target teams). It is stated that the system-synergetic view of the world reveals certain fundamental aspects of the behavior of natural and socio-economic systems in the context of their control and governance. It is shown that the use of temporary self-ruled managerial target teams, being the major element of a synergetic model of socio-economic management, is realized according to synergetic principles and processes.
 The use of temporary self-ruled managerial target team is realized according to synergetic principles and processes due to which we gain synergetic effect consisting in emerging and system (cooperative) phenomena. The teams are created quite spontaneously due to new educational (social) problems thus quickly reacting at outer environment’s disturbances. In this way, the teams can be considered to be open (dissipated) self-determined systems. The management capacity of the teams stems from their flexibility, multi-targeted nature and staff complexity since the members of the teams are recruited from various strata of society. Due to complexity and diversity of the teams they can react at different social fluctuations including the weakest signals of social-economic environment. The teams are quite self-determined and creative units since their temporary staff is recruited from different socio-economic establishments; so the teams’ members are not strictly fixed and are not materially dependant on team’s activities which gain creative character: one of the major characteristics of creative activities is connected with non-pragmatic orientation of the person involved in creativity thus revealing non-adaptive modus of a creative artist working according to the principle «the art for the sake of the art»).

Collaborative inversion heavy metal stress in rice by using two-dimensional spectral feature space based on HJ-1 A HSI and radarsat-2 SAR remote sensing data

Accurate and extensive monitoring of heavy metal pollution levels in rice fields is crucial to agricultural production and food safety.Most previous studies used optical remote sensing data to monitor heavy metal stress in rice in which way the remote sensing features are not diversified and the monitoring accuracy is relatively low. Compared with that optical remote sensing can monitor features like color and cell internal structure, microwave remote sensing can monitor the morphology and geometrical features. The complementary characteristics of multi-source remote sensing data are reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, the high spectral resolution characteristics of hj-1a HIS and the high spatial resolution characteristics of radarsat-2 SAR satellite are used for feature fusion to obtain the image data of high altitude spectral resolution; on the other hand, the two remote sensing data can depict the vegetation characteristics from different angles. In order to fully extract the characteristics of crop stress, the model was constructed by utilizing the complementary characteristics of multi-source remote sensing data. This paper synergized optical and microwave remote sensing to construct the crop heavy metal stress monitoring model. To this end, certain rice-growing areas polluted by heavy metal in Suzhou city were selected as the experimental areas, where ASD spectrum data, biochemical parameters and heavy metal content data of rice were collected during critical growth periods on one hand, HJ-1 A HIS and Radarsat-2 SAR satellite data were obtained almost simultaneously on the other hand. Based on heavy metal stress-responsive mechanism of rice, NVI (R598, R508) and SVI(HV,VH,HH,VV), spectral indexes sensitive to heavy metal stress, were extracted from the optical and radar data respectively to construct a two-dimensional feature space, based on which an optical-and-radar-remote-sensing-combined model for monitoring heavy metal stress in rice was constructed. In this paper, the study and main conclusions are as follows:(1) It used spectral characteristics analysis combined with statistic methods or random forest algorithm to build the canopy chlorophyll index NVI, which is sensitive to chlorophyll content changes of rice under heavy metal stress, and a heavy metal stress level inversion model was built based on hyperspectral HSI data accordingly. Also, it used statistic method to build the microwave index SVI, which is sensitive to biomass changes of rice under heavy metal stress, and a heavy metal stress level inversion model was built based on microwave SAR images as a result. (2) A combination of biochemical and morphological parameters, both responding to heavy metal stress, was synergized with NVI and SVI, sensitive to chlorophyll and biomass changes respectively, to build a two-dimensional feature space. Heavy metal stress levels were classified in this space. Thus, a synergetic model to retrieve heavy metal stress based on multi-source remote sensing data was developed. In this paper, the innovation lies in a model constructed by synergizing optical and radar remote sensing data to monitor heavy metal stress in rice based on a multi-dimensional spectral feature space and this model can be applied to monitoring multiple environmental stresses in crops.

The mechanism of synergetically controlled self-organization of actors in social networking services

Today social networking services are one of the most popular virtual platforms for implementing social communication in the information space. In this case, social networking services provide the basic needs of actors in communication, belonging to virtual communities, new knowledge, self-realization, security, etc. At the same time, social networking services can be used by the world leading countries to achieve one-sided advantages in the national information space and influence on social and political processes in the state, public opinion, social exacerbation, interethnic and interreligious conflicts, etc. That’s why providing the state’s information security in social networking services is one of the most acute problems in Ukraine and around the world. It is established that the most promising direction of counteracting the threats to state information security in social networking services and managing the dynamics of interaction between the actors is the use of the concept of synergetic management. However, currently there are no practical recommendations for the implementation of synergistic management with the use of social control for self-organization in social networking services. The article systematizes the basic components of social control in social networking services. It is established that they are divided into social norms and social sanctions. The structure of each component of social control in social networking services and the peculiarities of their implementation are revealed. The synergetic model of interaction between the actors in social networking services is synthesized, which will ensure the formation of a stable virtual community. Such a virtual community is capable of counteracting the threats to the state’s information security in the information space of services through the implementation of social control over the members of the virtual community and the dissemination of a strategic narrative to counteract the content of destructive nature. The experimental research of the proposed model of synergetic control for a hidden artificially controlled transition of the virtual community of actors in social networking services to the state of state information security is performed. It is proved that the effectiveness of such a management compared to the unmanaged processes of the formation of stable virtual communities increases 3.3 times and allows to attract a greater number of actors of social networking services.

Non-linear forecasting of the state of a socio-eco-oriented innovative economy in the conditions of systemic crises

The paper deals with the problem of sustainable development and innovative integral modeling and forecasting approach in the management of technogenic objects and processes (TOP) as a system of socio-eco-economic and humanitarian type (SEEH). Based on the use of information and innovation technologies in order to forecast the non-linear dynamics of eco-economic and socio-humanitarian systems, integrated stochastic models of objects and processes were developed and studied, suitable for the conditions of systemic crises. The paper handles the aspect of integration of 4 business and functioning areas of the modern complex systems. It proposes a general conceptual integrated model, generalized synergetic model of dynamics, considering different uncertainty (stochastic and chaotic components). The paper examines the aspects of integration of multiple business areas and sectors of the modern complex systems functioning and developing under the present conditions of non-linearity, instability and crises. An integrated stochastic non-linear phase-space growth dynamics model was developed and studied to forecast the development of the state of an innovative economy. The paper looks into the aspects of activity management of the modern complex systems functioning and developing under the present conditions of instability.

Methodological potential of the cognitive model of the person’s spiritual being pyramid

In this paper the authors, on the basis of a systemic approach, analyze the methodological potential of a cognitive model representing the pyramid of the person’s spiritual being. This article focuses on the main requirements for modeling cognitive processes on the plane of the individual’s spiritual being differentiated into existential, mental, transcendental spheres, and consciousness. Research results emphasize that, in the existential sphere of the individual’s spiritual being, cognitive processes are based on his/her emotional (unconscious) thinking. The mental sphere, which together with the transcendental one forms a sub-conscious psychic level, is characterized by emotional type of thinking. In the transcendental sphere, the acts of cognition are realized by means of rational thinking, while the consciousness controls the results of cognitive processes’ self-development solely on a logical basis. By synthesizing the ideas of modern most productive systemic and synergetic methods, the authors substantiate the use of a systemic approach to the formation of a universal synergetic model of the self-development of speaking-and-thinking and thinking-and-acting processes in the person’s spiritual sphere. The paper also proves practically unlimited methodological potential of the cognitive universal model of the pyramid of the individual’s spiritual being; and draws up a methodological perspective of its wider application not only in the field of linguistic, psychological and social studies, but also in historical, economic, political and other areas of knowledge that deal with the individual’s speaking-and-thinking and thinking-and-acting activities in the processes of person’s communicative, intellectual and transformative behavior.

Integrated Economic Empowerment Model for Rural Islamic Barding Schools in West Borneo Indonesia.

This study was conducted in a traditional Islamic boarding school (IBS) located in West Kalimantan. Among the existed boarding schools in the area, Pondok Pesantren Abdussalam was chosen due to its potential. This study adopted qualitative approach, utilized observation, documentation, interview and focus-group discussion (FGD) technique in collecting the data which then being analyzed using action research technique. The originality of the study is as follow: the study in this topic area has not been conducted previously, especially the one which focuses on the integrated economics improvement of IBS in rural area. The study result shows that there have been some economic activities in the institution in spite of its remote location. Additionally, the economic activities have been provided the institution with some benefits. However, the effect of such activities have not been felt fully yet. There have been three reasons in regard with this situation, namely insufficient human resources who have expertise in existed economic sector, limited capital as well as infrastructure factor. We propose the synergetic model to solve these three issues. The model is a cooperative model which can be implemented both with internal institution such as internal sharia micro-finance institution or with external institution such as local government or universities.

Personality development in psychotherapy: a synergetic model of state-trait dynamics

Theoretical models of psychotherapy not only try to predict outcome but also intend to explain patterns of change. Studies showed that psychotherapeutic change processes are characterized by nonlinearity, complexity, and discontinuous transitions. By this, theoretical models of psychotherapy should be able to reproduce these dynamic features. Using time series derived from daily measures through internet-based real-time monitoring as empirical reference, we earlier presented a model of psychotherapy which includes five state variables and four trait variables. In mathematical terms, the traits modulate the shape of the functions which define the nonlinear interactions between the variables (states) of the model. The functions are integrated into five coupled nonlinear difference equations. In the present paper, we model how traits (dispositions or competencies of a person) can continuously be altered by new experiences and states (cognition, emotion, behavior). Adding equations that link states to traits, this model not only describes how therapeutic interventions modulate short-term change and fluctuations of psychological states, but also how these can influence traits. Speaking in terms of Synergetics (theory of self-organization in complex systems), the states correspond to the order parameters and the traits to the control parameters of the system. In terms of psychology, trait dynamics is driven by the states—i.e., by the concrete experiences of a client—and creates a process of personality development at a slower time scale than that of the state dynamics (separation of time scales between control and order parameter dynamics).

Analysis on supply–demand system of automotive manufacturer–supplier with Synergetics

The supply–demand system (S–DS for short below) of automotive manufacturer–supplier (AM–S for short below) is a network system which consists of demand subsystem and supply subsystem. The supply–demand relationships reflect the partnership between AM–S. There is a need for coordination and cooperation between two subsystems in order to achieve the balance between the supply and demand. From the perspective of Synergetics, this paper analyses how the control parameters of S–DS which are called synergetic order parameters play the main control role to make S–DS reach the cooperative state, and discusses the discipline of the coordinated evolution in systems. Finally, the synergetic degree model is put forward to demonstrate the coordinative management effect of S–DS.

Methodology of building a system for providing information security of bank information in automated banking systems

The article presents a methodology for building an information security system for banking information in automated banking systems. The created methodology from unified system positions allows to implement the construction of a system for ensuring information security of banking information. The basis of the methodology is the proposed concept of building a synergistic model of threats to information security of banking information in automated banking systems. The basis of the synergetic model is the three-level model of the strategic management of security of banking information technologies, which ensures a synergistic effect in the conditions of simultaneous action of threats to information security, cybersecurity and information security. Such an approach contributes to the definition of qualitatively new and unknown to this emergent features of the security of banking information, taking into account the means used for its construction. The application of the methodology allows, based on a complex approach, to assess the state of the information security system of banking information to increase its level by developing and implementing new solutions for providing security services. The proposed security mechanisms are based on hybrid cryptosystems based on crypto-code designs with defective codes. The results of the methodology are reflected in both quantitative and qualitative form; do not contradict the basic provisions of the theory of information protection and complex systems.

The modeling methodology of the world’s fractal poetical model in the British poetry of the XIX–XXI centuries (linguistic and cognitive aspects)

The aim of the article is to explore an embodiment of reality in the world’s fractal poetic picture in the British poetry of the XIX–XXI centuries by means of the linguistic and poetic analysis of tropes as the way to actualize cognitive processes of the world picture formation. The cognitive style of the British romantic, modern and post-modern poets is investigated by means of linguistic, poetic, cognitive, mathematic, political and synergy analysis. From the standpoint of cognitive linguistics and cognitive poetics, poetic text is analysed as the result of the poet's cognition and his interpretation of reality through the prism of his physical, social and cultural experience. Cognitive poetics is focused on the metaphorical aspects of thinking, due to which the conceptualization of human reality, based on physical and sensory-motor experiences, is possible, The reconstruction of the world fractal poetical model accentuates on the notion of poetry and poetic texts, on the reflection of reality, on esthetic aspect of poetry and on linguistic and communicative peculiarities of it.The article is relevant in the aspect of modern polyparadigmatic research trends, because it is a synthesis and systematization of three linguistic paradigms (linguo-poetic, linguistic-cognitive and poetic-cognitive). These paradigms are focused on designing the fractal poetic model of the world as a construct. This construct embodies the deep meaning of poetic texts belonged to different cultural and historical periods. The mathematically-sociological and synergetic modeling are also have been taking into account. The aim and the results of investigation are determined by the specification of the poetical viewpoint embodied in the British poetry of romantic, modern and post-modern periods.

An Empirical Study on the Synergic Relationship between the Regional Sci-Tech Innovation Platform and the Development of Strategic Emerging Industries

The construction of regional STI platform is a significant carrier for cultivating and developing strategic emerging industries, and the synergistic coupling between the layout of such construction and industrial development’s stage and demands is the prerequisite and basis for realizing industry support of STI platform. From both the width and intensity of the synergistic coupling, this paper constructs the synergetic relationship measure model, and verifies its effectiveness and feasibility through the example of Guangdong Province. The survey finds that in the synergetic relationship between them in Guangdong, there are large regional differences, embodied in four types: platform- driven, industrial spillover, synchronous development and benign interaction, and the width and intensity of the synergistic coupling is relatively low while a benign interaction coupling mechanism has not yet been formed. This study provides a scientific basis for effectively measuring the degree of the synergistic coupling between regional STI platform and industries, and optimizing the layout of STI platform construction.

Синергетическая теория документа в развитии документоведческой мысли

The article assesses synergetic theory of document as a new development in document science. In information society the social role of document grows, as information involves all members of society in the process of documentation. The transformation of document under the influence of modern information technologies increases its interest to representatives of different sciences. Interdisciplinary nature of document as an object of research leads to an ambiguous interpretation of its nature and social role. The article expresses and contends the author's views on this issue. In her opinion, social role of document is incidental to its being a main social tool regulating the life of civilized society. Thus, the study aims to create a scientific theory of document, explaining its nature and social role as a tool of social (goal-oriented) action and social self-organization. Substantiation of this idea is based on application of synergetics (i.e., universal theory of self-organization) to scientific study of document. In the synergetic paradigm, social and historical development is seen as the change of phases of chaos and order, and document is considered a main tool that regulates social relations. Unlike other theories of document, synergetic theory studies document not as a carrier and means of information transfer, but as a unique social phenomenon and universal social tool. For the first time, the study of document steps out of traditional frameworks of office, archive, and library. The document is placed on the scales with society as a global social system with its functional subsystems of politics, economy, culture, and personality. For the first time, the methods of social sciences and modern sociological theories are applied to scientific study of document. This methodology provided a basis for theoretical vindication of nature and social role of document as a tool of social (goal-oriented) action and social self-organization. The study frames a synergetic theory of document with methodological foundations and basic concepts, synergetic model of document, laws of development and effectiveness of document in the social continuum. At the present stage of development of science, it can be considered the highest form of theoretical knowledge of document and its scientific explanatory theory.

A Synergetic Approach to the Relationship between the Length and Frequency among English Multiword Formulaic Sequences

The present paper employs a synergetic approach to exploring the relationship between the length and frequency among English multiword formulaic sequences. It attempts to test whether Zipf’s assumption on the inverse relationship between word length and word frequency, as well as the synergetic model constructed at lexical level, can be extended to multiword formulaic sequences. A corpus-driven approach is adopted to acquire sufficient data. Results show partial applicability of the assumption to a small part of formulaic sequences: sequences of words with whole structure and complete meaning. However, the majority of formulaic sequences, lexical bundles, are proved to be an exception to the conventional rule. The paper tries to offer explanation by exploring further the features of lexical bundles. It concludes that the synergetic system of length and frequency among lexical bundles is operated under the compromise between the requirements of minimization of production efforts and the requirements of maximization of information. Based on the analysis of synergetic relationship between length and frequency, this research shall prove that language is a self-regulating system, and that observed language phenomena can be understood and explained by laws and models. Besides, this study also includes register differences and offers a new perspective to register analysis.

A Synergetic Model for Implementing Big Data in Organizations

The term BIG DATA has been increasingly used recently. Big data refers to the massive amount of data that are processed and analyzed using sophisticated technology to gain relevant insights that will help top executives with the decision-making process. This study is an attempt to investigate the big data implementation in organizations. The literature review reveals an initial model of indicators that might affect big data implementation. This model was examined and extended by primary data collected from key people (CEO and managers) from ten organizations. The extended model of indicators, which is the result from this research, includes the factors that would affect the success or failure of big data implementation in organizations. The research findings showed the following factors: top management support, organizational change, IT infrastructure, skilled professional, contents (i.e. data), data strategy, data privacy and security.
