The term biometrics is derived from the Greek words: bio (life) and metrics (to measure). “Biometric technologies” are defined as automated methods of verifying or recognizing the identity of a living person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. Several techniques and features were used over time to recognize human beings several years before the birth of Christ. Today, this research field has become very employed in many applications such as security applications, multimedia applications and banking applications. Also, many methods have been developed to strengthen the biometric accuracy and reduce the imposture errors by using several features such as face, speech, iris, finger vein, etc. From a security purpose and economic point of view, biometrics has brought a great benefit and has become an important tool for governments and institutions. However, citizens are expressing their thorough worry, which is due to the freedom limitations and loss of privacy. This paper briefly presents some new technologies that have recently been proposed in biometrics with their levels of reliability, and discusses the different social and ethic problems that may result from the abusive use of these technologies.

The energy system of Ukraine, as well as the world power industry now in a phase of change related to the deterioration of the environment, a large number of new technologies and a change in global geopolitics. Thus, there is a need for quick decision-making when introducing new products, technologies and methods. The article proposes a modern approach to solving key strategic issues at the enterprise. A comparative analysis of existing classical methods of making management decisions is made and a number of advantages of the author's method are revealed. In this article, with the help of the proposed method, the feasibility of introducing a discrete heating system in the village is determined. In order to achieve this goal, the structure of the heat sources used in the settlement is determined, an analysis of the users of heating and comparison of the prices for heat energy is obtained using natural gas, pellets and a discrete heating system. The next step is to compare all sources of heat energy by the three main weighting criteria that most accurately reflect their quality. The preliminary expression of each criterion in a numerical dimensionless expression allows us to obtain a decision to make an optimal decision by graph-analytical method. This allows us to determine the main factors influencing the object of research and the decision making decision to three equally weighted coefficients: energy, ecology, economics. The obtained indicators are the faces of a triangular diagram, which forms the general plane within which all investigated objects or processes are located. The next step is to determine the field of satisfactory results, which has a flexible system of construction, which accurately shows the limits, taking into account the conditions of a specific task and goals. The triangular diagram has a visually accessible structure, so it is easy to understand to untrained people. As can be seen from the rating, the use of mobile heat supply with mobile battery is the most advantageous. Sources of heat supply on wood used as fuel, the most attractive from an economic point of view, however, lose to other sources of heat from the ecological and energy point of view.

The purpose of the study. The main goal of the study is to determine the most effective solutions for the development of cave tourism and medical tourism, as well as the standard of living and infrastructure of the region, based on the used literature and the questionnaire research on tourism development. Applied methods. The study starts with information about the natural and geological heritage found in the Domica region in Slovakia. It continues with the discovery, construction and characterization of the most significant caves from a tourist and economic point of view. Following the professional characterization, the questionnaire research developed and evaluated in the last stage of the study analyzes the possibility of the development of cave tourism and health tourism in the immediate vicinity of the Domica Cave based on the opinions, remarks and experiences of the service providers in the area. Outcomes. Caves are called natural underground cavities that have formed as a result of geomorphological and geophysical processes under different natural conditions. The caves in the karst are dissolved or are created by the weathering of the bedrock, while after the leakage of gases, caves form as cavities in the volcanic rocks. Few countries have as many different underground karst formations as Slovakia, with 7,014 known caves, of which only 18 can be visited. Discovering these underground wonders is a new challenge for hikers. Interest in caves peaked in the 20th century, when the desire to return to nature and improve the health of patients with respiratory diseases (speleotherapy) became the leading motivation. Today, caves are most often used for recreation. Nevertheless, within geotourism a popular way to explore caves is caving and the associated extreme or less extreme sports that only came to the fore in the 21st century. The results of the research of this study are sufficient evidence that the region is suitable for the development of cave tourism and medical tourism, for which the most obvious solution is to create an international geopark.

Pollution derived from transportation systems is a worldwide, timelier issue than ever. The abatement actions of harmful substances in the air are on the agenda and they are necessary today to safeguard our welfare and that of the planet. Environmental pollution in large cities is approximately 20% due to the transportation system. In addition, private traffic contributes greatly to city pollution. Further, “vehicle operating life” is most often exceeded and vehicle emissions do not comply with European antipollution standards. It becomes mandatory to find a solution that respects the environment and, realize an appropriate transportation service to the customers. New technologies related to hybrid–electric engines are making great strides in reducing emissions, and the funds allocated by public authorities should be addressed. In addition, the use (implementation) of new technologies is also convenient from an economic point of view. In fact, by implementing the use of hybrid vehicles, fuel consumption can be reduced. The different hybrid configurations presented refer to such a series architecture, developed by the researchers and Research and Development groups. Regarding energy flows, different strategy logic or vehicle management units have been illustrated. Various configurations and vehicles were studied by simulating different driving cycles, both European approval and homologation and customer ones (typically municipal and university). The simulations have provided guidance on the optimal proposed configuration and information on the component to be used.

The relevance of the presented topic is due to the presence of analogies between the heyday of the exhibition movement in the 19th century and the rise of the movement of exhibitions, expositions, forums in the early 2000s. Many modern processes of marketing communication have a prehistory in the exhibition movement of the 19th century. The authors relied on the modernization theory. The exhibitions were considered not from a narrow economic point of view, but in a broader socio-cultural context. Their influence on the development of Russia’s optical industry is analyzed. The following research methods are applied: historical-genetic, comparative, narrative, sociohistorical. One of the most important factors in the development of Russia’s optical industry was the participation of optical workshops in Russian and international industrial, artistic and scientific exhibitions. Russian and international exhibitions became a platform for the exchange of information between the bourgeoisie, scientists, representatives of zemstvos and city selfgovernment, scientific and educational institutions. Exhibitions performed an educational function, increased the social activity of merchants, entrepreneurs, public structures, and ensured live communication between different strata of the population. Optical workshops became participants of industrial exhibitions from the very beginning of the exhibition movement. Participation in exhibitions stimulated inter-industry cooperation, trade in optical products, expanded the target audience, accelerated marketing communication. In a broad socio-cultural context, the exhibitions contributed to the development of trade, the spread of new technologies, and the enrichment of business practices of the bourgeoisie.

Automated Processes

Considering the strong need for improvement of security and multimedia systems in the automotive industry, wiring harness production is becoming more and more important. Adapting to the integration of new technologies on the vehicle is a challenge for wiring harnesses manufacturers. Now the production of wiring harnesses is still quite dependent on human resources, the way of distributing the workload on the workstations having a large share in increasing productivity. Components such as terminals, connectors and seals are getting smaller and smaller, making the manual handling more difficult. A solution to this problem could be increasing the automation degree in wiring harness production. The objective of the research topic approached in this article is to identify solutions for optimizing the wiring assembly flow by partially automating the production flow. The concern for the application of automated processes in the production of car wiring is not new, but so far, the wiring manufacturers have been more focused on automating the prefabrication of the elements that compose the harness and not the wiring harness assembly line. From an economic point of view, the automation of the assembly flow would increase productivity by reducing fabrication time and the uncertainty given by the human resource dependence.
