It is known that in the case of technology use of the supplementary lighting, an irradiation spectral composition heavily influences the effectiveness of the photosynthesis processes, development and productivity of vegetable crops. Hence, the definition of general points at development and projecting of modern phyto-irradiators is one of high-priority tasks in techniques development for plants growing in conditions of protected ground. The research is aimed at reviewing and assessing the effectiveness of existing sources of illumination used in modern systems of supplementary lighting and at deduction of general points of development and projecting of phyto-irradiators based on results of laboratory investigations with the use of modern digital technologies of monitoring and data analysis. The results of the comparative tests of light emitting diodes-based phyto-irradiators showed that the energy consumption per product kilogram is less than in the case of LED-irradiators. Based on the research results, general points were deducted for use at development of modern LED-phyto-irradiators.

This paper discusses the implementation of digital technologies in the production sector and business processes of agricultural enterprises in Russia. Implementation of digitalization into the economic entities’ business activity is necessary in order not only to increase the speed of their functioning several times, but also to open up new, broader opportunities for their development in the future. Currently, in the Russian Federation, the main leaders in the development of digital technologies are, first of all, IT companies, as well as organizations operating in the field of media, finance and insurance. The level of digitalization in the real sector of the economy is significantly lower, while the agricultural sector is in last place for this indicator. This article reflects the prerequisites for the development of the digital economy in the world, which include the automation of production technologies and business processes, as well as penetration into the social sphere of the countries of the global Internet and mobile communications. The author considered a number of interpretations of the concept of “digital economy”, of which, in her opinion, the most rational version of the definition of the term under consideration was selected. Within the framework of the study, the prerequisites for the effective implementation of innovative technologies in the economic and social spheres of enterprises’ activities were determined, and the main factors and conditions for the developing digital system of a particular country were established. In the presented work, the author identified a number of modern key problems that significantly impede the introduction of digital technologies in the production and economic activities of economic entities of Russia, especially in the field of agriculture. At the same time, quite popular and widespread advanced technologies are indicated, which are currently being successfully implemented in promising agricultural organizations of the country. With regard to the branches of agriculture in Russia, namely crop and livestock breeding, the most expedient areas for the introduction of advanced digital technologies into the business processes of agricultural enterprises are presented.

Active introduction of digital technologies in all spheres of life is one of the main directions of state development as a whole and separate sphere of activity. The issue of using information technologies and systems during forensic examination is the subject of scientific research of many domestic and foreign scientists, but this sphere remains relevant. The introduction of digital technologies in forensic activities is one of the priority areas for the forensic science development at the present stage and has significant development potential. One of the areas of optimization and improvement of forensic activity is the development of methods to automate the formation of forensic experts and unify the description of the research process, identified features, justification and formulation of forensic conclusions, which requires legislative consolidation and regulation, analysis and definition of the subject area and development requirements and algorithms for the operation of the system interface. Unification and standardization of the content of forensic experts' opinions requires the development of common standards and an information system adopted by all subjects of forensic expertise, and meets the needs of practice. The development of an information system for forming an expert opinion and automatically forming an expert opinion will allow formalizing and unifying the description of research and results of forensic examinations, optimizing the time of forensic experts and potentially reducing the number of logical, typographical and technical errors, and simplifying quality control of forensic examinations. The proposed system will not only automate the technical work of registration of research results carried out during forensic examinations, but will also contain research algorithms, which will be stored in the form of data on already conducted research of similar objects (list and sequence of operations, identified features and their parameters).

In the article, based on the analysis of the definition of the category of reality, as well as the main trends in the development of non­classical philosophy, the legitimacy of introducing the concept of digital reality into the scientific and philosophical language is substantiated. The basis for asserting the existence of digital reality in the structure of the universe is a specific set of properties of digital technologies (digital objects), which distinguishes them from other objects of the universe and determines their special existence. In the article, based on the highlighted properties of digital technologies, they are defined as functional objects that perform operations with information presented in discrete form (measured in bits) by executing programs (algorithm) on a physical medium.

Currently there are many attempts to determine virtual reality which is created by digital technologies. The present article discusses this phenomenon in the creative act. This approach gives an opportunity for the full consideration of virtual reality because the category of reality includes not only digital technologies but subjective perceptions which creates problems in its definition. According to our understanding virtual reality is determined by the relation with the person’s virtual world and digital code. The person’s creative potential is defined, in its turn, as the person’s virtual. In the creative act between virtual reality and creative potential besides homogeneous connection there is an ontological connection and then virtual reality is a medium and a tool for the person’s creative potential realization. In this case the creative act is an actualization of images or symbols, by changing the intensities of the virtual image which results in the transition of the creative potential into otherness- the virtual reality of the code. As the tool of creative reality virtual reality plays the role of the digital technology which alienates the person’s time and space.   Received: 19 November 2020 / Accepted: 4 February 2021 / Published: 5 March 2021

Ассоциация независимых российских семенных компаний (АНРСК) системно продвигает свою позицию на всех уровнях власти. Одним из самых основных вопросов в работе ассоциации на сегодняшний день остается приведение законодательной и нормативно-правовой базы в отвечающее и дающее развиваться отрасли русло. Цель работы: проанализировать современную законодательную и нормативно-правовую базу в сфере селекции и семеноводства овощных культур и выявить в ней проблемные области, требующие принятия соответствующих поправок. При анализе использовали абстрактно-логический метод, включающий совокупность приемов индукции и дедукции, анализа и синтеза, аналогии, сопоставлений, системно-структурный анализ, методы формализации, моделирования, прогнозирования. Обосновано, что только став конкурентоспособным, сельское хозяйство и отдельные его отрасли, могут получить часть мирового рынка, в котором сегодня по целому ряду отраслей Россия серьезно уступает другим государствам. Показана роль частных селекционных компаний, мировых зон товарного семеноводства и ассоциаций в формировании цивилизованного рынка семян овощных культур. Дается определение стран с европейской и американской моделью законодательной базы. Приводятся факты поддержки государством селекционных компаний за рубежом. Сделан вывод о том, что во всех странах, в которых работают селекционные и семеноводческие компании, со стороны государств системно создаются благоприятные условия для их развития. Поэтому, если сегодня в РФ ставятся задачи импортозамещения и создания экспортного потенциала, нужно объективно взглянуть на состояние отечественной селекции и семеноводства овощных культур, определить их путь развития и создать под это соответствующую законодательную и нормативно-правовую базу. Нужны грамотные системные профессиональные решения, соответствующие законодательные и нормативно-правовые акты, а также снижение административной нагрузки.The Association of independent Russian seed companies (AIRSC) systematically promotes its position at all levels of government. One of the most important issues in the work of the Association today is to bring the legislative and regulatory framework in line with the development of the industry. Objective: to analyze the current legislative and regulatory framework in the field of selection and seed production of vegetable crops and identify problem areas that require the adoption of appropriate amendments. The analysis used an abstract logical method that includes a set of methods of induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, analogy, comparisons, system-structural analysis, formalization, modeling, and forecasting. It is proved that only by becoming competitive, agriculture and some of its branches can get a part of the world market, in which today Russia is seriously inferior to other countries in a number of industries. The role of private breeding companies and world zones of commodity seed production and associations in the formation of a civilized market for vegetable seeds is shown. The definition of countries with the European and American model of the legal framework is given. The facts of state support for breeding companies abroad are given. It is concluded that in all countries where breeding and seed companies operate, favorable conditions for their development are systematically created by the States. Therefore, if today the tasks of import substitution and creation of export potential are set in the Russian Federation, it is necessary to take an objective look at the state of domestic selection and seed production of vegetable crops, determine their path of development and create an appropriate legislative and regulatory framework for this. We need competent system professional solutions, appropriate legislative and regulatory acts, and reducing the administrative burden.

BACKGROUND Despite increasing interest in digital public health, there appears to be a lack of clarity and consensus on its definition. OBJECTIVE In this scoping review, we assessed formal and informal definitions of digital public health in the literature. METHODS We conducted a scoping literature search in OVID Medline, Embase, Google Scholar and on 14 government and intergovernmental agency websites encompassing six geographical regions. Among a total of 409 full articles identified, we reviewed 12 publications that formally defined digital public health and/or informally described the integration of digital technologies in public health in relation to digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation, and conducted a thematic analysis of the identified definitions. RESULTS We identified two explicit definitions of digital public health with divergent meanings. While one definition is predicated on digitalization, and involves the integration of digital technologies to achieve existing public health goals, the other implies transformation of public health services and goals, leveraging digital technology to improve health outcomes. Further, we found that when described in relation to public health, digitization refers to the conversion of analog records to digital information, digitalization involves the integration of digital technologies into public health operations, and digital transformation involves a cultural shift that pervasively integrates digital technologies and reorganizes service based on the health needs of the public. CONCLUSIONS The definition of digital public health remains contested in the literature. Public health researchers and practitioners need to clarify these conceptual definitions to harness opportunities to integrate digital technologies in public health in a way that maximizes their potential to improve public health outcomes.

The article is devoted to the topical issue of the strategic development of the enterprise in the digital economy. The advantages of enterprises that use the results of the digital economy in their activities have been established. The main characteristics of the digital economy are determined, approaches to the definition of terms are investigated. The state of profitability of Ukrainian enterprises by industry is analyzed on the basis of statistical data. Based on the results of the analysis of statistical data, it was determined that in the conditions of the pandemic and quarantine of the last two years, most sectors of the economy suffered losses. Only those industries that were vital and those that use modern information and digital technologies had a positive financial result of their activities. These calculations showed that it is fundamentally important to introduce digital technologies at enterprises in various sectors of the economy. The article lists the main seven stages of introducing digital technologies into the management activities of enterprises. The above stages of introducing digital technologies into the activities of enterprises are used both for general strategic transformations at enterprises, and for individual management functions. It also reflects the main benefits of introducing digital technologies into strategic planning and profit management in enterprises. The main obstacles that may arise during the implementation of digital technologies are highlighted, among which the main one is associated with the human factor. It is also indicated in the article that almost all enterprises in their activities can start with the introduction of technologies for working with big data, which allow to efficiently process large volumes of information, analyze it and make management decisions based on the results. An analysis of modern research in the field of digital technologies implementation showed that digital technologies are necessary not only in the current activities of an enterprise, but also in strategic and management functions, especially in planning and managing the company's profit.
