EFFICIENCY ASSESSMENT PROCESS SIMULATION OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS FOR INFORMATION PROTECTION OF ENTERPRISES AT THREAT SIMULTANEOUS REALIZATION

This paper reports the automation of an effi-ciency assessment process for complex systems of information security by means of an automated system formation the basic functions of which are: carrying out of information security (IS) audit, model formation of IS threats, recommendations for the formation of information security systems, a set of organization-regulatory documentation. For the solution of a problem in the efficiency assessment of confidential information protection there is developed a simulator and a universal criterion taking into account a probability of the realization and combating threats and allowing the estimation of the complex system efficiency for information protection in dynamics of processes occurred. The approach offered to the assessment of an information security level of an information object allows reducing considerably material and time costs for carrying out information security audit and also increasing the design solutions quality at the creation and introduction of complex system of information protection.

Efficiency Assessment

Ecological and economic assessment is a key stage in the selection process of investment projects as it defines their efficiency and allows to forecast their likely impact on the environment and the socio-economic situation of the territory. Approaches to the efficiency assessment of investment projects include only basic criteria and do not sufficiently consider industryspecific. The energy sector is a significant primary sector in the global economy that directly affects the standard of living, energy resources availability for population and for the productive sector of economy and has a considerable impact on the environment. Therefore, the efficiency assessment process of investment project in the energy industry should comprise criteria which will respond to the branch specificity and provide accurate data about potential environmental and socio-economic consequences of project’s implementation in both the short and the long-term run. The paper aims to propose a list of environmental criteria for improving the process of the ecological and economic efficiency assessment of energy investment projects, considering also the Circular Economy concepts. The list is based on the results of the expert survey carried out by the authors and might be used for multiple-criteria decision analysis of the investment projects.

The authors concentrated on some issues related to the sustainable development of the mining industry, i.e. on the management of fossil fuels deposits to achieve economic efficiency, environmental, as well as social acceptance. It should be borne in mind that Poland still belongs to the countries in which electric energy production and thermal energy production are based on hard coal and lignite. The research work results described in the article present efficiency assessment aspects in the case of different longwall technological systems in the LW Bogdanka. Advantages and disadvantages resulting from using shearer and plow systems are given. An impact of dilution in the run-of-mine on the coal quality is analyzed, and some recommendations emerging from this analysis are suggested. On the basis of the conducted in situ experiments, technical possibilities of reducing dirt are described. As an efficiency assessment is a multi-criterion process, so it requires continuous monitoring of production parameters. The article also contains an analysis of longwall systems in the aspect of dust control. An impact of mining, technical and technological parameters on generated dust amount, in particular in the case of a shearer-equipped longwall face, is discussed. In the conclusions, it is highlighted that an efficient assessment process in the case of longwall systems is complicated as an impact of different factors should be taken into consideration. It is suggested to use the data integration platform based on the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Due to the SOA, any mistakes in the scope of the functionality of individual systems can be detected very quickly. Such an approach is fundamental for the realization of the TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), leading to the creation of the so-called Mine of Smart Solutions.

High Uncertainty

Organizations have responded to the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 with a very wide range of management functions and capabilities: risk management, crisis management, emergency management, business continuity management and disaster management. Common to all of them is decision-making in situations of high uncertainty based on the assessed risk. Given available data from the World Health Organization that six months after pandemic had been declared, the number of patients and deaths is constantly increasing, the question arises whether the lack of key information on risk in conditions of high uncertainty caused by coronavirus, in paralel with the complexity of modern (natural, social, technical) systems and their interactions, has issued the application of the traditional concept of risk management based on historical data, statistics, and cost-benefit analysis. Based on the assumption that in conditions of uncertainty and non-routine environment, risk-based decision making process in complex systems suffers from numerous shortcomings, we will review the practical and methodological limitations of this concept through key stages of the risk assessment process. At the same time, the aim of this paper is to point out the advantages of applying the concept of organizational resilience in managing complex systems, starting from the fact that immune systems and resilient organizations are the most effective response strategy to non-routine risks (low frequency events and catastrophic consequences). The basic changes we propose in the process of managing the non-routine risks of infectious diseases that led to the crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are based on the conclusion that the anticipatory strategy aimed at predicting events needs to be "expanded" with a system resilience strategy. This does not diminish the importance of a risk-based decision-making approach in conditions of uncertainty.

Communication Needs

A comprehensive augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) evaluation is critical to providing a viable means of expressive communication for nonverbal people with complex communication needs. Although a number of diagnostic tools are available to assist AAC practitioners with the assessment process, there is a need to tailor the evaluation process to the specific communication needs of the AAC user. The purpose of this paper is to provide a basis for developing an effective and clinically driven framework for approaching a user-tailored AAC evaluation process.

This issue describes the Assessment 360° process, which takes a panoramic approach to the language assessment process with school-age English Language Learners (ELLs). The Assessment 360° process guides clinicians to obtain information from many sources when gathering information about the child and his or her family. To illustrate the process, a bilingual fourth grade student whose native language (L1) is Spanish and who has been referred for a comprehensive language evaluation is presented. This case study features the assessment issues typically encountered by speech-language pathologists and introduces assessment through a panoramic lens. Recommendations specific to the case study are presented along with clinical implications for assessment practices with culturally and linguistically diverse student populations.

The overrepresentation of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children in special education, including children who are dual language learners (DLLs), is a major concern. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can play a critical role in reducing this overrepresentation. Using a holistic assessment process that is responsive to the communication patterns of home and community contexts provides a framework for distinguishing actual language disorders from differences associated with cultural and linguistic diversity. This article presents current trends in Native communities that may impact the speech-language assessment process, including a shift from indigenous languages to English and/or Native language revitalization efforts. It also provides a framework for guiding assessment in a manner that considers cultural and linguistic factors in speech-language assessment for AI/AN children who are DLLs.
