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.

Poverty is one of the goals of the concept of sustainable development. Sustainable Development itself has many indicators such as economic, social, cultural, environment, etc. But in this study, the authors take only a few factors from an economic point of view. Economic growth, open unemployment rate, regional imbalance rate and human development index are some factors that are considered to describe poverty level in East Java Province. This research uses Fixed Effect (FEM) model panel data regression in 38 regencies/cities in East Java Province in 2011-2015. The results of this study indicate that the variables of economic growth and open unemployment variables have no significant effect in describing the level of poverty in East Java. While the variable level of regionalimbalance and variable of HDI have the significant effect on poverty in East Java. Therefore, to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), the reduction of poverty in various regions requires a balance of social and economic, not only through the increase of high economic growth but must be accompanied with equitable distribution of income distribution so that the level of regional inequality is smaller and by improving the quality of resources human beings through Human Development Index (HDI) in each region.

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.

This paper summarizes the discussion on anthropological approaches to the study of the interface of human body and technologies. Employing the concept of ‘hypocognition’ suggested by Robert Levy, the author describes the search for the conceptual tools necessary to create interdisciplinary dialogue in this new research field. In addition to a brief overview of this search and the resulting discussion, the paper argues with the traditional approach to the human body and technologies as separate phenomena. As new technologies interact with the human body in new and intricate ways, and influence human beings, societies, and cultures across the world, their study must become part and parcel of anthropology, which has so far focused on tradition and paid less attention to innovations.
