MANAGEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE MODELS USING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

The topics of implementing methods of information technology as one of the effective and important methods are discussed for organizational and institutional management purposes. Information technology allows a new knowledge to be discovered which is an important and effective way for the management of organizational processes in order to maintain competitive edge. In today’s competitive and globalization world, the main challenge for organizations remains to be defining customer-oriented strategy where knowledge and its management is an important factor. Recently active works is being conducted for establishing and developing effective models of knowledge management where information technology plays an important role. Generally, information system is a means of collecting and creating new knowledge existing between different individuals/structures using information technology. It describes instruments of knowledge management that allows collaboration and communication between parties involved in business processes. Knowledge management includes facts, data and models of different types which exist in physical and electronic information depository.

СПОСОБИ ВПЛИВУ НА ФОРМУВАННЯ ПОЛІТИКИ З БОКУ НЕУРЯДОВОГО СЕКТОРУ

The issue of interaction of the non-governmental sector with state and local authorities always remains relevant, primarily due to changes in the dynamics and trends of this process. Today in Ukraine there is a wide range of interaction tools that can be used by both civil society organizations and individual citizens to communicate with the authorities. However, a characteristic feature of the non-governmental sector is not only the requirement of accountability on the part of the state, but also participation in the formation of a political course and roadmap in a given area. In this study, we analyzed how the third sector currently uses legally regulated methods of communication with the authorities to participate in policy-making and change.

CONCEPTUAL REVIEW OF THE UNITED STATES CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ARCHITECTURE: POLICY, LAW AND ADMINISTRATION

The United States` Critical Infrastructure System (CIs) represents an umbrella concept grouping all those resources that are essential for national economic, financial, and social system. These critical infrastructures are vital and without them, or with any damages to them, would cripple the nation, states, and/or local communities and tribes. Based on a systematic review approach (methodology), this paper aims to review the United States’ Critical Infrastructure Protection System (USCIPS) at tree aspects. In section one, the policy pillars of USCIPS are outlined based on studding Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21) and National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). Section two discusses the interdependent nature of the sixteen critical infrastructure sectors and identified the further designation of life-line sectors. Final sector introduces USCIPS stakeholders, collaboration and partnership across between the private sector and public sector stakeholders.

ABOUT DIGITAL PROCESSING OF ASTRONOMICAL IMAGES USING HISTOGRAM PROCESSING METHODS

Photos of extended objects are crucial for astronomers, as they contain enough detailed information about the celestial bodies that it is quite difficult to extract visually. Most of the information available for analyzing these objects begins with studying them with telescopes or satellites. Unfortunately, the quality of astronomical images is usually very poor compared to other real images, and this is due to the technical and physical features associated with the process of obtaining them. This increases the percentage of noise and makes it more difficult to directly use standard methods on the original image. Images taken from a satellite or telescope are almost always grayscale, but still contain some color information. However, an astronomical image can be obtained through a color filter. Different photodetectors also usually have different sensitivity to different colors (wavelengths). In our paper, we will present a method for processing astronomical images, using histogram processing, which can be successfully used to improve images, and post-processing.
