The paper represents a small controller with wireless connection, which measures air temperature, air humidity and soil humidity. As an output action it can switch on and off an irrigation pump. Monitoring is realized over Wi-Fi connection to a gateway and cloud service. The service allows database storage and graph representation of the input values via desktop or mobile device browser. Sensors choice is also explained in details with advantages and disadvantages of the possible solutions. Developed device allows fine tuning, according to the target plants, can be duplicated many times in the range of the hothouse. It is one of the cheapest solutions which provides very stable work as a result of the specific implementation.

The emergence and development of machine learning technologies, unmanned aerial vehicles, 3D-modeling technologies integrated with the concept of "smart construction" significantly expand the possibilities of creating and applying the concept of an effective logistics system for building production at the stage of construction and installation works. At the same time, there is a need to develop a model for creating, processing, storing, issuing and visualizing information on the state of construction production from the point of view of the material and technical support system. The article formulates and considers the concept in the form of electronic automated model with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, presents the mechanism of monitoring and control of construction and installation works and logistics. The capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles, such as visual inspection of buildings, measurements of structures, monitoring of the construction process, control of work performed, monitoring of the timing and cost of work, etc. were determined. Advantages and disadvantages of this system are revealed. The concept developed on the basis of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles makes it possible to create a 3D model, compare its graphic and digital characteristics with the project, identify deviations and defects, the amount of material and technical resources necessary for the uninterrupted construction process, automate and reduce the cost of the process of logistics.

Personal computers (PCs) are a powerful resource in the EM Laboratory, both as a means of automating the monitoring and control of microscopes, and as a tool for quantifying the interpretation of data. Not only is a PC more versatile than a piece of dedicated data logging equipment, but it is also substantially cheaper. In this tutorial the practical principles of using a PC for these types of activities will be discussed.The PC can form the basis of a system to measure, display, record and store the many parameters which characterize the operational conditions of the EM. In this mode it is operating as a data logger. The necessary first step is to find a suitable source from which to measure each of the items of interest. It is usually possible to do this without having to make permanent corrections or modifications to the EM.

A modern dairy farm is a complex biotechnical “man-machine-animal” system, where purposeful human activity concentrates mainly on the control of the “machine” and “animal” subsystems, thus making the whole system ergatic. Increasing the interaction effi ciency of machine subsystems with biological objects (animals) requires an in-depth study of the properties and characteristics of the latter, their behavior, adaptive and refl ex mechanisms that ensure the mutual adaptation of machine and biological subsystems. The paper considers general functionality of the “animal” subsystem, which includes lists of monitored parameters (functions) in pre-weaning, pre-lactation and lactation periods. In a similar way, functionals of the subsystems of the general musculoskeletal development of the animal’s body, respiratory and digestive organs, comfort of the habitat, development and control of the reproductive organs of lactating cows were obtained accompanied with a list of controlled functions and parameters. To carry out a set of research activities in this fi eld, FSAC VIM is planning to carry out a complex project that will increase the levels of automation, digitalization and intellectualization of animal husbandry, provide for comfortable environment, optimal rediced-impact service modes for animals and their extended productive longevity, increased quality of milk and autonomous functioning of individual local biotechnical subsystems.

Place of monitoring and control of risks of financial stability of the state in the system of ensuring financial security of the state was substantiated. Methods of identifying threats to Ukraine's financial security through the current and strategic analysis of financial system development indicators were considered. Tendencies of economic development of Ukraine in the context of revealing sources of threats to financial stability of the state were analyzed. Dynamic analysis of the actual values of the financial security indicators of Ukraine as a whole and its separate components had been carried out. Threats to Ukraine's financial security were identified based on comparative and trend analysis. Reasons for the critical state of debt, banking and monetary security in the financial structure and the preconditions for the emergence of systemic threats had been investigated. Systematization of risks and threats to Ukraine's financial security by its components had been carried out. Influence of systemic threats in the financial sphere on the economic security of the state was generalized. International experience of monitoring financial stability of the state was analyzed. Additional risks to the national financial system are associated with the globalization and digitization of the state financial system that are not taken into account by valid methodological recommendations for calculating the level of economic security of Ukraine were highlighted.
