Peculiarities of purpose in providing the information stability of surveillance radar sensing modes in the process of their radio electronic suppression

It is possible to look at the special features of the goal setting while ensuring information stability of radar sounding modes when they are suppressed by the active interferences and interfering information influences. Overcoming the complexity of goal-setting processes, the validity and prompt decision-making with a shortage of time for its adoption is associated with insuring the consistency of goal-setting the levels of their intellectualization and formalization. This will contribute to imparting the desired properties, synthesized during the conflict, to the multipurpose strategies and the situational law of the control of the REP processes and the coordination of actions. An increase in the level of intellectualization of goal-setting processes is ensured by: decomposition of the general goal-setting problem into separate, simpler subtasks with effective solutions, implemented in the corresponding subsystems of the ACSstab (or basic associations of its functional elements) at stages of information support, preparation, adoption and implementation of the decision at the stages of hierarchical levels of management; cognitive analysis of goals and reflexive synthesis of goal-setting processes using the capabilities of a specialized intelligent decision support system to enhance the creative-reflexive abilities of the subject of management and increase the level of his professional competencies; combining the universality of the stages of rational management of the synthesis of the strategy for managing the REP processes with the specifics of conflict situations, subjectivity, cognition and reflexivity nature of intellectual control. Methods and means of partial formalization of goal-setting processes are presented, when the structuring of the main goal is carried out taking into account belonging to the strategies of internal and external control of the REP, the decomposition of the two-sided dynamic model of the conflict between the systems of the RES complex and the radar, the hierarchy of management levels, various approaches applied to goal-setting in a crisis management, as well as methods of justifying goals, resource costs and control of achieving the goals. These features can significantly reduce the degree of subjectivity of management for goal-setting and achieve their validity, completeness, consistency.

An efficient multi-objective based squirrel search optimization for optimal placement of FACTS devices

The adoption of a new transmission line is extremely complex because of its socio-economic problems such as environmental clearances. Thus, there is a prominence of better utility over available transmission infrastructure. The Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices can offer transmission capability enhancement, power compensation, and stability as well as voltage improvement. However, the FACTS devices have a higher penetration impact of wind generation for the dynamic stability of power networks. In this work, an efficient Intellectual Control system has been proposed to stabilize the FACTS devices placement. The Squirrel Search Optimization is adapted with an intellectual control system to enhance the steady-state voltage stability of FACTS devices. The proposed system has been evaluated with the assist of IEEE 14 and 26 standard bus systems to handle the multi-objective functions like cost, reduction in power loss, reducing risks, and maximizing user’s benefit. These multi-objective functions facilitate to attain the optimal placement and load flows at various sites. The simulation can be carried out with MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the results manifest that the proposed system outperforms well when compared with existing approaches.

Empirical study of suicide intentions of adolescents

The article analyzes the features of suicidal ideation of adolescents. The phenomenon of suicide as a human behavior aimed at intentional self-harm with a fatal end, self-destruction is considered. The general signs of suicidal intent are analyzed: verbal signs (notification of one's intention to others); behavioral signs (significant changes in behavior: larger indifference on their appearance, disruption of the attention process, missing school, avoidance of communication with peers); situational signs (betraying their legacy, cowardice or excessive aggression, clash with important people, disruption of relationship). As a result of empirical research, it was found that the studied adolescents are characterized by a mostly low level of anxiety, which is an indicator of the stability of the emotional state and lack of anxiety; low and medium level of frustration, and adolescents are confident, responsible, resistant to failure, are not afraid of difficulties; adolescents have an average rate of aggression, which is characterized by coming into student’s conflicts, to prove their point, using elements of aggression to assert themselves and maintain their status in the peer group; the average indicator of rigidity testifies to their stability in the actions provoked by unforeseen events; found that some adolescents clearly expressed the dominance of emotions over intellectual control in assessing the situation, readiness to respond to a traumatic situation rather emotionally than logically, existing social pessimism as a negative concept of the world, also, they are characterized by demonstrativeness (demonstration of suicidal intentions) of the willingness to attract public attention of others to themselves, their problems, to achieve compassion and awareness. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop a system of socio-psychological measures to reduce suicidal ideation among adolescents.

Modern Woolfian Fiction

Virginia Woolf radically transformed the novel of manners, a form defined by a domestic setting, limited emotional range, and the centrality of social codes. Woolf expanded this to include the whole range of human experience, partly through the use of shifting interior voices who meditate on art, marriage, grief, love, ambition, empire, gender, and the sea. With one long beautiful narrative sweep, Woolf turned the novel of manners into a novel of ideas. This expansion has had a profound effect on subsequent novelists such as Ian McEwan, Rachel Cusk, Michael Cunningham, Zadie Smith, Tessa Hadley, and the author of this chapter. These writers have used domestic settings and interior voices to write about the whole of life, laying claim to Woolf’s powerful and elastic new form, the novel-of-both-manners-and-ideas. This chapter examines works by these writers to show how Woolf’s luminous prose and deep empathy, her intellectual control and literary potency, continue to illuminate and vivify the contemporary novel.

Finding Oceania : organizing a collection of Oceanic photographs and albums at the Art Gallery of Ontario

The Oceanic Collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is comprised of photographic objects that reflect the social history of the Oceanic nations during the period after European settlement up to the mid-20th century. The anthropologist C.P. Mountford is the greatest single contributor in the collection. Other makers include Reverend Hamilton Aikin, press photographer Sam Hood and studio photographers Henry King, John William Lindt and Thomas Andrew. This thesis is an applied project, done to re-house, catalogue and gain intellectual control over the collection. Part I outlines the re-housing and cataloguing process, as well as the considerations and decision making behind the organization of the finding aid. Part II is the finding aid, containing eight sections that address the historical and social context in which the collection material was made. Three appendices include biographical information, complete catalogue records and a summary of Oceanic art and artifacts at the AGO.

INTELLECTUAL CONTROL OF LOGISTIC PROCESSES USING GENETIC ALGORITHMS

Global business digitalization entails the automation of a large number of business processes, both key and auxiliary. This trend is becoming a defining factor in the global BPM market. Intelligent systems for automating business processes cover not only the corporate segment of large corporate business, but quickly penetrate into medium-sized businesses and find application in government agencies. A strategic guideline in the digitalization of flow control is an innovative approach, which should be systematic. The proposed concept of digitalization of logistics processes is implemented on a heuristic basis, which corresponds to the permanence of the transition from traditional management of complex systems to logistics management and is determined by the degree of penetration of logistics management to all levels. The use of precise methods to optimize transportation cannot be implemented due to the difficulty of taking into account the external parameters and time constraints imposed by the dimension of the problem. The heuristic approach to which the genetic algorithm belongs is considered

Artificial and Natural Intelligence Techniques as IoP- and IoT-Based Technologies for Sustainable Farming and Smart Agriculture

In this chapter, the author describes the main new challenges and opportunities of blockchain technology for digital economy in Russia. The study in Russia showed that the Russian research community has not addressed a majority of these challenges, and he notes that blockchain developer communities actively discuss some of these challenges and suggest myriad potential solutions. Some of them can be addressed by using private or consortium blockchain instead of a fully open network. In general, the technological challenges are limited at this point, in terms of both developer support (lack of adequate tooling) and end-user support (hard to use and understand). The recent advances on developer support include efforts by of the towards model-driven development of blockchain applications sliding mode in intellectual control and communication and help the technological challenges and created tools. The chapter shows how avatars may communicate with each other by utilizing a variety of communications methods for sustainable farming and smart agriculture.

Reflections on the Magic of Artistic Discourse

The discovery of the functional asymmetry of the brain's hemispheres is one of the greatest achievements in the field of psychology in late 20th century. In this context, artistic perception is considered in "Reflections on the Magic of Artistic Discourse". This essay accords particular attention to the interrelationship and antinomy of logical (left hemisphere) and figurative (right hemisphere) thinking. Thus, while the former posits a simplified, schematic model of reality, the latter perceives reality in all its complex polysemy and contradictoriness. It must be noted that these contradictions coexist without canceling each other out. This is the foundation of almost all literary fiction with its ambivalence, metaphoric language, implicitness, levels of connotation and play of meaning. It is well known that a thought uttered directly destroys the esthetic effect of a work of art whereas «a complicated artistic structure, created from the material of language, allows us to transmit a volume of information too great to be transmitted by an elementary, strictly linguistic structure» (Yu. Lotman). However, this kind of information is special and cannot be broken down into categories or reduced to a binary logical or black-and-white outline. It would, therefore, not be an exaggeration to say that all the devices used in a work of art undermine left hemisphere thought, loosening intellectual control over the text's metaphoric constituents. By using a series of examples to demonstrate the manner in which an artistic text functions and takes possession of the reader's attention, feelings and will, the author draws a parallel between artistic and hypnotic impact.The discovery of the functional asymmetry of the brain's hemispheres is one of the greatest achievements in the field of psychology in late 20th century.
