The article presents a basic model for information support of decision-making designed to enhance the efficiency and resilience of organizational systems within the information security units of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM). The model constitutes an integrated, multi-level system based on the interaction of five interrelated mathematical models: data collection and preprocessing, automated classification, situation forecasting and analysis, decision option generation, and knowledge management. To enhance the model’s functionality and adaptability under conditions of uncertainty, the following formulas have been introduced: assessment of data processing system workload; automatic calibration of weighting coefficients based on forecast error minimization; calculation of information source credibility index; weighted event evaluation accounting for source credibility; decision explainability using the SHAP method; and knowledge utility metrics together with criteria for knowledge archiving. These formulas ensure objectivity, transparency, and robustness of management processes, enabling rapid response to cyber threats, minimizing the impact of human factors, and maintaining high-quality managerial decision-making.

Choosing the best video compression method is becoming increasingly important as the volume of online video grows rapidly. By 2026, people are predicted to watch 82% more video online than in 2020. This means finding a balance between image quality, processing speed, and file size. To achieve the desired parameters, it's crucial to choose the right codec.
This paper compares five popular codecs—MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VP9, MJPEG, and ProRes. Each codec offers its own unique method for compressing video, yielding different file sizes and image quality. The goal was to determine which codec is best suited for various applications: video calls, professional filming, and online broadcasts.
The experiments were conducted on a server with four processor cores, 8 GB of RAM, and an 80 GB SSD. Measurements were taken to determine the speed of each codec, the resulting file size, and the video quality. Based on the results of these tests, recommendations were made on which codec to choose and how it can be improved in different scenarios.

This article discusses an approach to the development of a control and accounting system for the target mixture loaded into glass furnaces located in machine shops of both a single plant and a group of glass plants belonging to one enterprise. A structural scheme is proposed for organizing the collection, processing and storage of data obtained from weight indicators of various models that support their own network frame formats. As an example, a network scheme for the implementation of the designated control and accounting system for target mixtures is demonstrated, applied to two geographically remote glass factories, using a mechanism for building private networks on top of open and public communication channels. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches to the organization of operational control over the volumes of loading of the target mixture into glass furnaces is substantiated, as well as the expediency of using this solution

The purpose of the article: to determine the possibility of using file hash analysis using artificial neural networks to detect exploits in files. Research method: the search for exploits in files is carried out based on the analysis of Windows registry file hashes obtained by two hashing algorithms SHA-256 and SHA-512, using three types of artificial neural networks (direct propagation, recurrent, convolutional). The obtained result: the use of artificial neural networks in file hash analysis allows us to identify exploits or malicious records in files; the performance (accuracy) of artificial neural networks of direct propagation and with recurrent architecture are comparable to each other and are much more productive than convolutional neural networks; the longer the length of the file hash, the more reliably it is to identify an exploit in the file

As a result of changes in regulatory documents on acceptance of residential premises, there is a need to develop illustrative methodological materials that would allow the future owner to independently, i.e. without the involvement of an external qualified specialist, to perform the acceptance of the apartment, pointing out to the representative of the developer involved in the acceptance of significant construction defects. The purpose of the study is to determine the structure of construction defects in residential premises and to identify the most common defects in this structure, which will allow the future owner to independently perform the acceptance of the apartment. In the article, based on the analysis of a significant number of claims from apartment owners to the builder and the results of the authors' research in the scope of forensic examinations and pre-trial construction-technical investigations, the structure of construction defects, which are massively identified in the process of acceptance of apartments, is defined and presented. The groups of defects that are most frequently encountered in practice are presented. To ensure the clarity of practical use of the obtained analytical materials, a list of mass construction defects identified in the process of acceptance of residential premises, indicating their category necessary for making a decision on the mandatory elimination of defects is defined.

One of the key parameters used to assess the magnitude of the individual fire risk based on the appropriate calculation methodology is the evacuation start time. To calculate it, there is a need for information about the time of reaching the threshold value of the fire detector, which can be determined on the basis of a fire simulation for the room in which the fire is located. At the same time, it is required to dynamically evaluate the size of the area at each point of which at the height of the location of fire detectors there is an excess of the threshold value of the acting parameter, which is a rather complex task, the solution of which requires the use of automation. This paper proposes a method for automated assessment of the time for reaching the threshold value of the fire detector response based on the results of fire modeling when determining the calculated values of the individual fire risk. Functional model and basic algorithm of the proposed technology are presented. The developed methodology was tested using the example of modeling a fire in a commercial building based on the FDS software kernel for various scenarios. The results of a comparative analysis of solving the problems of estimating the time for reaching the threshold value of fire detectors for various criteria based on the proposed technology and manual method are presented.

The article is devoted to the analysis of methodological approaches to the definition and assessment of the psychofunctional state of a person. In connection with the need to improve the reliability of human-machine systems, the study of the psychofunctional state of a person controlling a dynamic object is of scientific interest, since to create reliable human-machine systems it is necessary to take into account the reliability factors of technical means and the human factor as well. The analysis of methodological approaches showed that to solve problems dedicated to increasing the reliability of "human-machine" systems, it is advisable to use a systems approach that considers a person not as an independent subject, but as an element of the system. The systems approach has a broad methodological base, allows us to study the psychofunctional state of a person in dynamics.
