The rapid development of cybernetics allows the use of artificial intelligence in many areas of social and economic life. The State can also harness algorithms and machine learning for its actions. Automatic decision making should be one of the stages in the development and improvement of public administration. While it is easy to implement these solutions in the case of related decisions, decisions made under administrative discretion, general clauses or valuation standards pose a challenge. The correct transformation of paper-based public administration into automatic public administration requires a change in decision makers’ thinking, the introduction of new solutions, and building trust in artificial intelligence. Therefore, new solutions have to be built in accordance with the principles of transparency, accountability, equality, goodness and justice. Artificial intelligence making automatic decisions on behalf of the State must be a tool to support the execution of public tasks concerning citizens which is based on trust towards AI and public administration.

Introduction: the article examines formal and informal political and communication practices for their effectiveness in improving the perception of a parliamentary institution. Objectives: to identify the features of symbolic capital formation of a State Duma deputy using political and communicative practices. Methods: comparative analysis, content analysis, sociological regulatory analysis. Results: The article analyzes the political and communication practices used by the State Duma deputies and their impact on building trust inparliament. Informal practices that parliamentarians use while implementing the representative function are highlighted as having the greatest potential in the context of the need to increase trust in the State Duma. Conclusions: trust to a parliamentary institution is a combination of institutional trust (to the State Duma as a body of state power) and transpersonal trust (in deputies). A parliamentarian, to whom the State Duma delegates its symbolic capital, can either increase confidence in the institution by their actions, or lower it due to the communication failures, inability to use modern technologies, the need to follow the political change, etc. It is necessary to develop a set of measures to increase confidence in the parliamentary institution.

Este artículo presenta una lectura de la situación de inseguridad en la que se destaca la incapacidad del Estado para integrar soluciones organizacionales e institucionales que proporcionen seguridad a los agentes de los cuerpos policiales, ayuden a construir relaciones de confianza entre policías y sociedad, incrementen la legitimidad de las actuaciones policiales y, en consecuencia, reduzcan los índices de criminalidad observados. Se analiza la experiencia mexicana para estudiar la falta de confianza y el pobre desempeño de la policía como resultados de fallas de diseño institucional. Los problemas de diseño institucional persisten debido a errores de interpretación de la racionalidad de los actores y de los procesos de cambio social registrados en el país, malos diagnósticos de los problemas de seguridad, problemas al distinguir entre estructuras de implementación y poblaciones objetivo, al diseñar políticas públicas que forman parte de una estrategia de soberanía graduada que ofrece protección desigual a los ciudadanos.ABSTRACTThis article presents an interpretation of insecurity, highlighting the lack of capacity of the State to integrate organizational and institutional solutions aimed at providing protection to police officers, building trust on police-society relationships, increasing police legitimacy and, therefore, reducing crime rates. Based on the analysis of the Mexican experience, this article looks at the lack of trust and the poor performance of police corps, consequences of institutional design failures. Such failures persist due to erroneous readings of actors´ rationalities and social change processes observed in the country, poor diagnostics of security problems, and confusion of implementation structures and target populations in public policies that integrate a graduated sovereignty strategy through which the state offers different levels of police protection to its citizens.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
