The article presents an electronic text documents marking algorithm based on the identification information embedding by changing the values of the intervals between words (interwords distance shifting). The algorithm development is aimed at increasing the documents containing text information security from leakage through the channel due to the transfer of documents printed on paper, as well as the corresponding electronic copies of paper documents. In the marking algorithm developing process, an existing tools analysis of protecting paper documents from leakage was carried out, practical solutions in the field of protecting text documents were considered, their advantages and disadvantages were determined. The interwods distance shifting algorithm acts as an approach to the information embedding in electronic documents. Changing the values of interwords distance is based on embedding the normalized space in the selected areas of text lines and adjusting the remaining values of the spacing between words by the calculated values. To invariance ensure of the embedded marker for printing and subsequent scanning or photographing, formation algorithms of embedding regions and embedding matrix have been developed. In the embedding regions forming process from the text lines of the source document, arrays of spaces are formed, consisting of pairs: four and two spaces or two spaces. By means of the embedded information in the formed areas, the places where the normalized space is inserted is determined. In the embedding a marker process, an embedding matrix is formed, containing the values of the word displacement, and it is embedded in the original document in the process of printing. The developed marking algorithm usage makes it possible to introduce a marker into the electronic document text structure that is invariant to the format transformation of an electronic document into a paper one and vice versa. In addition, the developed marking algorithm features and limitations are presented. Directions for further research identified.

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has become a vibrant research field over the last decade, especially because of the spread of electronic devices like mobile phones, smart cell phones, and video cameras in our daily lives. In addition, the progress of deep learning and other algorithms has made it possible for researchers to use HAR in many fields including sports, health, and well-being. HAR is, for example, one of the most promising resources for helping older people with the support of their cognitive and physical function through day-to-day activities. This study focuses on the key role machine learning plays in the development of HAR applications. While numerous HAR surveys and review articles have previously been carried out, the main/overall HAR issue was not taken into account, and these studies concentrate only on specific HAR topics. A detailed review paper covering major HAR topics is therefore essential. This study analyses the most up-to-date studies on HAR in recent years and provides a classification of HAR methodology and demonstrates advantages and disadvantages for each group of methods. This paper finally addresses many problems in the current HAR subject and provides recommendations for potential study.

The purpose of the research is to increase the level of security of electronic document metadata in the face of destructive influences from authorized users (insiders). Research methods: new scientific results allowed using a combination of data integrity control method based on the «write once» method and of authentication of HMAС messages (hash-based message authentication, as well as graph theory methods. Research result: a method of cryptographic recursive 2-D control of the integrity of electronic documents metadata is proposed. The analysis of the object of the study was carried out, based on the results of which it was concluded that it is necessary to effectively protect the metadata of electronic documents processed by automated information systems of electronic document management. Developed and described a mathematical model of the proposed method, based on graph theory. The developed technical solution makes it possible to implement the functions of cryptographic recursive twodimensional control of the integrity of the metadata of electronic documents, as well as to provide the possibility of localizing modified (with signs of violation of integrity) metadata records, in conditions of destructive influences of authorized users (insiders). This, in turn, reduces the likelihood of collusion between trusted parties by introducing mutual control over the results of their actions. The proposed solution makes it possible to ensure control of the integrity of data processed by departmental automated information systems of electronic document management, where, due to the peculiarities of their construction, it is impossible to effectively use the currently popular blockchain technology.

The problem of application design by restriction and delay in ED (Electronic Document) management based on blockchain technologies to ensure a new level of security, reliability, transparency of data processing is considered. Increasing the reliability of information in systems by limiting and delaying ED management of enterprises and organizations during collecting, transmitting, storing and processing ED based on new, little-studied optimization technologies for processing blockchain-type data is a relevant and promising research topic. Important advantages of the potential use of transaction blocks built according to certain rules in systems by limiting and delaying ED are ensuring security by encrypting transactions for subsequent confirmation, the inability to make unauthorized changes due to the dependence of the current blockchain state on previous transactions, transparency and reliability of procedures due to public and distributed storage, as well as the interaction of a large number of users between without the use of “trusted intermediaries”. Studies show that when using existing algorithms for adding blocks in any system, it is possible to achieve the requirements of decentralization, openness of the entered data, the inability to change the data once entered into the system. However, mathematics-cryptographic information protection must be developed for each designed system separately. The task of providing and formulating the rules of data reliability control by limiting and delaying in ED circulation based on cryptographic methods of encrypting transaction blocks constituting the blockchain has been formulated. The approaches have been adopted as a methodology of support for systems by limiting and delaying electronic documents based on a new database architecture.

Purpose – This article aims to describe how people manage to integrate their use of paper and electronic documents in modern office work environments. Design/methodology/approach – An observational interview type study of 14 participants from 11 offices in eight organizations was conducted. Recorded data were analysed using a thematic analysis method. This involved reading and annotation of interview transcripts, categorizing, linking and connecting, corroborating, and producing an account of the study. Findings – The findings of the study can be categorized into four groups: the roles paper and electronic documents serve in today's offices, the ways in which these documents are managed, the problems associated with their management, and the types of fragmentation that exist in terms of their management and how these are dealt with. Practical implications – The study has identified the need for better integrated management of paper and electronic documents in present-day offices. The findings of the study have then been used to propose a set of guidelines for the development of integrated paper and electronic document management systems. Originality/value – Although similar studies of offices have been conducted in the past, almost all of these studies are prior to the widespread use of mobile and network-based shared technologies in office environments. Furthermore, previous studies have generally failed to identify and propose guidelines for integration of paper and electronic document management systems.

Sea freight was and remains the most popular way of cargo delivery. Transportation of goods by sea routes plays a crucial role in the economy of most countries. The bill of lading acts as a legal instrument and guarantees the interests of participants in foreign trade deals and has a complex legal nature, due to its functionality. The use of electronic documents for formalizing relations between the participants in the maritime transport of goods has become possible due to the rapid development and widespread introduction of information technologies into the property turnover. In the period of digitalization of the Russian economy, the study of the legal regulation of the bill of lading accompanied by special computer software products is relevant and significant. The main purpose of the article is to disclose the essential characteristics of a bill of lading as a trading, title-bearing security from the perspective of the evolutionary development of this legal instrument over several centuries. The authors formulate a number of recommendations for the expanded implementation of electronic document circulation in maritime trade, arguing that, along with the adopted legal acts, should clarify the use of electronic documents when transporting goods by sea. In the Russian Federation, the rules on bills of lading must be supplemented by international agreements, additionally adopt a number of national legal acts in this sphere. The theoretical basis of the research was the studies of Russian and foreign investigators, which examine the relations of entities applying bills of lading in foreign economic activity (Vilkova, 2004; Golubchik, Katykha, 2017; Dubovec, 2006; Inshakova, Kalinina, Goncharov, 2019; Skaridov, 2018 et al.). Methodologically, the present research is based on the authors' materialistic worldview. General scientific methods were used: dialectic, inductive, deductive, analysis, synthesis, generalization, etc., as well as particular scientific methods: formal legal, comparative legal, etc.). As a result of the scientific analysis for the expanded implementation of electronic document circulation in maritime trade, along with the adopted legal acts, the authors proposed to specify the use of electronic documents for the carriage of goods by sea. The rules on bills of lading must be supplemented by international agreements, and a number of national legal acts in this area should be adopted. Suggestions for Smart applications to bills of lading and electronic registration of microchips, which should mark the goods moved by foreign trade deals, which will positively affect the increase of the rule of law at the domestic level through more precise electronic customs, tax, currency control. It is substantiated that in the aspect of the implementation of economic relations, digital registration acts a preventive and prophylactic function - reducing potential conflicts. To realize the benefits of smart applications to bills of lading, it is recommended to develop and adopt a set of legal norms of legislative and sub-legal level governing public relations in the digital economy, implementing these smart applications to bills of lading implementing business practice and inter-jurisdictional polysubject blockchain.
