РАЗРАБОТКА МЕХАНИЗМОВ ПОВЫШЕНИЯ ДОСТУПНОСТИ ЛЕКАРСТВЕННОЙ ПОМОЩИ В УСЛОВИЯХ ЧРЕЗВЫЧАЙНЫХ СИТУАЦИЙ С ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕМ ГЕОИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ

The article considers the issues of availability of reserves of medicinal products intended to provide medicinal supplies to victims in the elimination of the medical and sanitary consequences of emergencies, taking into account the internal risks for territories with complex climatic and geographical characteristics. The purpose of the study was to develop approaches to increase the territorial availability of medicinal products in the Tomsk Region reserve in emergency situations. In the course of the research, content analysis of data from regulatory documents and scientific publications on the medicinal provision of the population in emergency situations was used; correlation analysis of geo-information, spatial-geographical and natural-climatic indicators characterizing the territorial availability of medicinal products. The typologization of the Tomsk region according to the degree of transport accessibility was performed using cluster analysis algorithms. It has been established that the main climatic and geographic factors creating the internal risks for the drug supply system of the disaster medicine service of the Tomsk region include dangerous hydrological phenomena, forest and peat fires, frosts and hurricanes. More than 85% of the territory of the Tomsk region belongs to hard-to-reach areas equated by climatic conditions to those of the Far North, which poses risks for the drug supply system. Based on the data of the geo-information services, the road accessibility of the Tomsk region districts in relation to the regional center has been considered, two directions «Eastern» and « Northern» have been identified including 5 and 11 respectively. It was established that direct interaction between the districts belonging to these areas bypassing the regional center is extremely difficult. In the process of typologization of the districts according to the degree of transport accessibility in the direction "East", one group with a high degree of transport accessibility between 3 districts that are remote from the regional center has been identified. Two groups of districts have been identified in the North direction. The first group, characterized by high transport accessibility, included 5 districts, including the regional center. The second group with low transport accessibility included 6 districts. The optimal area for the placement of an additional point of medicines of the Tomsk region reserve has been justified, taking into account the transport infrastructure of the districts, natural and climatic risks, socio-demographic factors and the standard time for the organization of drug provision in an emergency situation. With the use of geo-information technologies, a model of decentralization of the reserve has been developed to increase the availability of drug care by the regional disaster medicine service of the Tomsk region in the context of internal risks.

GEOINFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TRAINING OF FUTURE MINING ENGINEERS

Modern world cannot live without digital technologies. Digital technologies have reached an unprecedented flourishing. The constant growth of information has led to the emergence of many opportunities for digital transactions in various professions, one of which is the mining engineer. The process of reforming this profession requires more efficient use of digital technologies in the environment, ensuring information management through the introduction of innovations, creation of databases, programs, the implementation of which will improve the quality of management of innovation processes. One of the promising directions of solving this problem is the use of geoinformation technologies. Ukraine's interest in increasing the number of engineers is manifested, in particular, in measures to encourage applicants to enter higher education institutions for engineering specialties by providing additional benefits. In the professional activities of mining engineers, information technologies make it possible not only to consider the location of production units of a mining company, mineral warehouses and rock dumps of a mining company at any required level of detail, but also to help meet the basic environmental requirements in the field of mining. The program of experimental research to test the effectiveness of methods of using Geoinformation technologies in the formation of environmental competence was implemented in three stages: analytical and stating, design and search and forming and generalizing. The discrepancies identified at the analytical and stating stage of the pedagogical experiment required the development of a new competence system with separate components of environmental competence. Multifunctional geographic information systems were used in the laboratory classes of the control groups, and multifunctional GIS, mining and environmental GIS and the software component of the methodological complex "EcoKryvbas" were used in the experimental ones. Upon completion of the experimental training, it was found that 49.33% of the students in the control groups reached an average level of environmental competence, 20% reached a sufficient level, while in the experimental groups 37.33% of the students reached a sufficient level and 36% reached an average level. In the continuation of scientific research of this problem, it is advisable to develop a methodological system of teaching Geoinformation technologies for students of specialty 122 "Computer Science".

The use of geoinformation technologies in tourism organization

The article discusses aspects of the application of geoinformation systems in the tourism business. The rational use of tourism resources in the modern world is becoming an increasingly complex and urgent task. Software in geographic information systems enables people engaged in the tourism business to easily integrate and use available sources of tabular and cartographic information to improve the quality of decisions. Modern geoinformation technologies can be used in organizing and stimulating tourist activity. The main problem in this activity is the lack of information about the area in which the organization of tourism is carried out. We must take into account the terrain, the availability of recreation areas. If tourism is organized, then you need to know the locations of hotels, as well as attractions in the area of the route. If we are dealing with individual travel, it is necessary to know the schedule of transport, rates of hotel rooms, etc. Tourism is one of the industries that have used GIS in their development. The result was the mass application of GIS technology in solving many current and strategic tasks of this area of activity. It should be noted that geoinformation systems will help not only the organizers of the tourism business of the region, but also end users. The tourism business requires improving the quality of management and monitoring of natural and cultural resources, improving the perception of geoinformation in an accessible form for the user. The application of geoinformation technologies for the development of hiking, water and mountain tourism is discussed. Specific geoportals developed for the areas of the Caucasian State Biosphere Reserve, East Kazakhstan region, Astrakhan region are considered. It can be noted that recently there has been an active integration of geoinformation systems and tourism business, which brings great benefits to both tourism and geoinformatics.

Territorial and administrative division of the left bank of the Volga River (side of Prince Fedor Borisovich) of the Rzheva Volodimerova district in the first quarter of the XVII century.: application of GIS technologies.

The object of the study is the volosts and camps of the left bank of the Volga River (half of Prince Fyodor Borisovich) of the Rzhev Volodimerov district in the first quarter of the XVII century. The main source in this work is the scribal and boundary book of Rzheva Volodimerova "Prince Fedorov's sides of Borisovich" letters and measures of Leonty Skobeltsyn and the clerk Makar Chukarin 1624-1625. In total, the source provides information on 2,691 toponyms. The subject of the study included the localization and characteristics of the geography of the volosts, the allocation of "assigned" ones from other counties among them, the identification of the causes and chronology of their entry into the Rzhev Volodimerov county, the study of the dynamics of the development of the territory of the county from the end of the XV century to the 1620s. The work was carried out using geoinformation technologies based on the methodology of localization of toponyms of scribal description with using sources of the XVIII-XIX centuries. The use of geoinformation technologies in the work on the continuous localization of toponyms of the scribal description of the county allowed us to get a more detailed idea of the location of the administrative boundaries of volosts and camps. Such a feature of the territorial organization of the county as the interlaced location of the lands of a number of volosts and camps has been revealed. The vagueness of some internal boundaries of the county is a reflection of the instability of its territorial organization, due to the dynamics of population and land ownership during the XVI-XVII centuries. Among the causes of this phenomenon are border conflicts, oprichnina, and ruin during the period of Troubles. The work with the assembly material allowed us to establish the key role of the oprichnina in increasing the size of the territory of the county in the second half of the XVI century. Thus, the results obtained became the basis not only for clarifying the boundaries of the county of the XVII century, but also for their formation in historical dynamics during the late XV – XVI centuries.

From the cadastral books to GIS: Toropets, Belaya, Rzheva borders in 15th – 17th centuries

The article presents the results of studying the regions located on the western boundary of the Russian state of the XVI-XVII centuries. The object of the study is Toropetsky Uyezd and its eastern volosts - Dubna, Rozhna, Bibirevo and Startsova, which in the XV century formed the Moscow-Lithuanian border. Territorial transformations of these volosts in the XV-XVII centuries are considered. Based on written sources, the GIS localization of the border between Toropetsky, Belsky and Rzhevsky counties, the most important in the study of border situations during the XV-XVII centuries, was carried out. The main sources of the study are scribal descriptions of Toropetsky, Belsky, Rzhevsky counties of the XVI-XVII centuries, including previously unpublished and introduced into scientific circulation. The study was conducted using geoinformation technologies. The use of geoinformation technologies in the work on the continuous localization of toponyms of scribal descriptions of three counties allowed us to get a more detailed idea of the territory of the Toropetsky district before its entry into the Russian State. Startsova Parish stretched south from Toropets to the large Peletsky Moss swamp. Its southeastern part, lying on the left bank of the Western Dvina, was assigned to Belaya even before Toropets and Belaya joined Moscow. Rozhnya and Bibirevo in the 1520s and 1530s also went to Moscow. Finally, Dubna changed its size and status as a result of the border conflicts of the XV century and land policy in Russia of the XVI-XVII centuries. The location of the Zhukopsky pit marking the road crossing the Moscow-Lithuanian border has been established.

Presents research results (2019-2022) to assess the effectiveness of grain crop yield programming: soft spring wheat, spring barley, and oats using geoinformation technologies in satellite navigation applications. Experiments were conducted in the forest-steppe of the Novosibirsk Priob’ye region on leached chernozem in JSC livestock breeding farm “Irmen.”, Ordynsky district, Novosibirsk region. The authors programmed yields on the main grain crops: spring soft wheat varieties Novosibirskaya 31, spring barley Margret and oats varieties Rovesnik and Max. The use of balanced nutrition on the background of their differentiated application in combination with geoinformation technologies and satellite navigation helped to increase the parameters of average leaf area and FSP of soft spring wheat by 24%, spring barley by 22%, and oats by 27%.Fertilizer application on the programmed yield of 4.5-6 t / ha is efficient on the background of differentiated use of mineral fertilizers with justifiability yield programming 117%. The authors proved the dependence of grain crop yield on fertilizers by 38% and weather conditions - by 26% using a statistical method. Balanced doses of mineral nutrition at their differential application increased the protein content of cereal crops by 2%, starch by 4, fat by 0.1 and fiber by 0.2%. The use of yield programming has significantly increased its performance with good product quality. The efficiency of this agricultural technique in the system of optimal use of geoinformation technology with satellite navigation and drones averages 96%. This farming technique is cost-effective, and the level of profitability of production of major crops reached 182%.

A model of a geoinformation system to support decision-making about the epizootic situation in a municipality

An unfavorable epizootic situation for dangerous infectious diseases requires epizootic monitoring, risk analysis of the introduction and spread of the disease using modern forecasting tools, in particular the use of geoinformation technologies for making management decisions at the level of a subject of the Russian Federation or a municipality. The purpose of the study is to create a model of a geoinformation system to support decision-making about the epizootic situation in a municipality. The analysis of the main directions of the use of geoinformation systems in municipal management is carried out. Five main stages of epizootological analysis of information (system levels) in their logical sequence are considered. At the level of the local government administration, there is an information space containing a display of epizootically significant events taking place in the region, which allows using criteria-based methods of fuzzy description of the information array using electronic maps to determine trends and directions of development of the epizootic situation with an assessment of its intensity by specific indicators (criteria). An algorithm for making managerial decisions in the detection of infectious animal diseases, including African swine fever (ASF), at the municipal level is proposed. A roadmap based on the use of a geoinformation decision-making system with subsequent visualization of the strategic plan for the development of a complex of anti-epizootic measures in ASF is presented. It is possible to use the information obtained to analyze the stability of the information space within the jurisdiction of local self-government. When it comes out of a state of stability, the decision support system forms a request to the state information resource in order to clarify the project of control actions recommended by the local administration. The proposed system allows you to generate queries automatically, clarifying and forming a cartographic representation of the current epizootic situation for the specified territory.

Геоинформационная оценка агроландшафтов (на примере тестового полигона «Перекрестное» Состинского ландшафтного района Сарпинской низменности)

The use of geoinformation technologies and remote survey data for assessing, mapping the state and forest-reclamation arrangement of agricultural landscapes is a modern research method that allows analyzing spatial data remotely and interpreting them into analytical maps. To study the “Cross” polygon, laid out on the territory of the Sostinsky landscape area of the Sarpin Lowland in 2015, a space map was compiled based on an ultra-high resolution satellite image of the Wold View 3 satellite. The geomorphological characteristics of the test site were constructed as a result of analysis based on the digital terrain model SRTM 3. The use of geoinformation technologies and satellite images for the analysis of agricultural landscapes at the test site allowed to identify the structure and characteristics of agricultural land. As a result of the research, it was found that the soil at the landfill is represented by an array of salt marshes with salt marshes (95% of the landfill area) and sand massifs (5%). The analysis of changes in arable areas showed the cessation of economic use of agricultural land until 2018 and the resumption of field work on a small part of the test site in the period 2018–2019. The materials obtained during the decoding and mapping of agricultural landscapes of the Sarpinsk lowland can be used to form an ecological framework of sustainable landscapes, as well as extrapolated to analog landscapes.

Applications of GIS software for research of chanel process (on example of the r. Richka basin)

This article is devoted to the complex issue of the application of various types of geographic information systems (GIS) software for the study of channel processes on small mountain rivers. The creation of appropriate models of basin systems based on cartographic data is currently a very relevant and at the same time complex issue in terms of programming, which should be given more attention in modern scientific research. The use of modern software tools gives us the opportunity to supplement the existing data of hydrological information, through the application of the principle of the close relationship between the underlying surface and the active hydrological component (water flow), which is reflected in the functioning system of the river basin. The use of geo-information technologies in hydrological studies allows both to detail individual sections of riverbeds for their further study and to deepen the analysis of channel processes, and vice versa to generalize information based on the data of individual points or sections of riverbeds into a complete basin system. This publication presents an attempt to combine, supplement and generalize with the help of QGIS software, scientific studies of channel processes on the Richka River, to the detailed study of which the author has already devoted a number of her works. The creation of a digital model of the basin and a GIS map will allow to confirm and deepen the previous scientific developments on this water object. The analysis of the 3D model can bring us closer to revealing paleogeographical conditions and reflecting their features on channel processes of the rivers of this basin within three geomorphological zones. And it is also better to investigate, and perhaps refute, some common theories about the origin and formation of the network of rivers in this Carpathian region. Application of software of geographic information systems will allow to more deeply and comprehensively investigate this insufficiently covered issue. After all, as noted at the beginning of the publication: river flow is a product of the climate, and the shape of the riverbeds is a reflection of this interaction with the underlying surface. And therefore, a more detailed study of paleogeographical features through the clear vision of digital models will allow us to determine the changes in channel formation conditions on the rivers of the studied territory that occurred in the past.

Model of the activity load of the interrogator during the investigation of fires

Modern trends in the socio-economic development of the state imply the optimization of human resources for law enforcement agencies. This task is also relevant in the context of ensuring fire safety, since determining the optimal number of interrogators of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia will improve the quality of fire investigation and provide a preventive component in reducing the number of fires and damage from them. The balanced structure of the body and the optimal number of employees will ensure the timely and high-quality provision of public services, the consumers of which are citizens of the Russian Federation. Therefore, determining the optimal activity load of an employee in the context of an increase in the service area and reengineering of the number of employees of the federal state fire supervision is a necessary tool in determining the effective structural and staffing of the inquiry agency of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. The purpose of the article is to develop and propose an approach for predicting the optimal workload of an employee in fire investigation activities. This study proposes an information-analytical model for determining the optimal load of an interrogator of a territorial subdivision of an inquiry agency of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. The basic factors and criteria influencing the determination of the functional load of an employee in the investigation of fires are considered. Methods and methods for predicting the time spent on performing the main work in the fire investigation activities are given. The activity load of an employee is a constituent element (indicator) in making a managerial decision to form the optimal structure of the body. The use of geoinformation technologies and simulation of prompt arrival at potential fire sites is proposed to determine the optimal territorial boundaries of employee service and use the results obtained in predicting the optimal activity load. Scientific novelty lies in the developed information-analytical model for determining the optimal load of the interrogator of the territorial division of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, as well as the method for collecting initial data for calculation.
