The article is devoted to the formalization of quality assessment criteria in the framework of the development of an automated quality management system at the stage of design preparation for the production of machine-building products. The main focus of the research is in the development of the terms of reference (TK). The author suggests formal criteria for assessing the quality of TK, aimed at forming comprehensive requirements for the design of the product and the organization of work. The methodology is based on a systematic analysis of domestic and foreign literature, as well as regulatory documents, and the formation of a graduated quantitative scale for each assessment criterion based on them. The key evaluation criteria are highlighted, each of which is assigned characteristics and scoring systems for quantitative analysis and the possibility of subsequent use when creating an automated quality management system at the checkpoint stage. The work contributes to improving the quality and competitiveness of products through a systematic assessment of the initial stage of development and the formation of the correct requirements for innovative products. The research results are focused both on research in scientific peer-reviewed journals of the Russian Federation, and with attention to international experience, which allows combining existing experience in the subject area.

This article explores the migration of the Chuvash Encyclopedia's website from the outdated ASP.NET platform to the modern Laravel framework. It provides a brief history of the regional online scientific reference resource, the reasons for updating its technical base, including security issues, incompatibility with modern browsers, and a lack of technical support. It also analyzes the key stages of its transition to the new Laravel platform. These include a thorough audit of the old encyclopedia website, including URL mapping, the design of a new database architecture on the modern MySQL 8.0 platform, which has been significantly optimized compared to the outdated version, as well as database migration from MSSQL to MySQL 8.0 and database processing using console commands. An example of a developed console command for automatically replacing URLs is provided. The result of this work was the launch of an updated website for the Chuvash Encyclopedia online at http://chuvenc.ru, which meets modern security and performance standards. New solutions were developed to migrate the outdated, yet socially significant, web resource to a modern platform with minimal data and functionality loss.

The article provides a brief description of the Berezovskaya GRES thermal power plant, a detailed description of the design object, and an analysis of the existing automation systems. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that the hazardous production facility requires technical re-equipment, which involves the modernization of the technical devices used at the hazardous production facility. The necessary equipment has been selected for the designed process control system. An architectural solution has been created for the system, ensuring its efficient functioning and high level of reliability. A reliability analysis has been conducted, confirming compliance with regulatory requirements and sufficient uptime.

The physical model of the movement of liquids in capillaries proposed by Laplace and the Jurin formula obtained on its basis are in good agreement with the experiment in terrestrial conditions, but they are not applicable in zero gravity conditions. In this paper, it is experimentally shown that the capillary motion of a liquid is not caused by excessive Laplace pressure, but only by the forces of adhesion (Van der Waals forces) and cohesion. It has been experimentally shown that the phenomenon of capillary movement of a liquid over the surface of a solid body upon their contact occurs under normal conditions even in the absence of narrow slits or small-diameter cavities. The authors postulate a new hypothesis of the physical mechanism of the phenomenon of fluid movement on the surface of bodies, including in capillaries.

The article is devoted to the assessment of atmospheric air pollution in Rostov-on-Don for the period from 2019 to 2023. The assessment was carried out using a comprehensive indicator of atmospheric pollution for 5 pollutants (suspended solids, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide). The main materials for the work were data obtained from the Environmental Bulletin of the Don and Yearbooks on the state of the atmosphere in cities in Russia. The dynamics of the city's atmospheric pollution over the specified period has been determined, as well as the territorial features of pollution and possible factors contributing to the current situation (the number of green spaces, the presence of enterprises, traffic flows). It has been established that the highest rates of atmospheric pollution are typical for the central part of the city, the most favorable environmental situation is in the east, and the western and northern parts are characterized by average pollution rates. A tendency of increasing atmospheric pollution has been established for the northern, central and western parts of the city, while the eastern part of the city is characterized by a gradual decrease in the content of pollutants in the atmosphere. The result of the work was the compilation of a map-scheme of atmospheric pollution in various parts of Rostov-on-Don.The main factors that determined the current environmental situation include: the volume of traffic load, the proximity of industrial zones and the level of landscaping of the territory.

This article examines an approach to designing the architecture of management decision support systems for entrepreneurial structures using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. It is demonstrated that traditional decision-making methods fail to provide sufficient speed and justification for management actions in the face of high market volatility and information overload. A multi-level architecture is proposed, based on the principles of modularity, human-AI hybrid interaction, explainability, and incremental development. The system's structure, comprising four layers, is presented. Particular attention is paid to the role of the human-in-the-loop and the threshold control of decisions. Using small and medium-sized enterprises as an example, it is shown that the proposed approach enhances forecast accuracy, accelerates the management cycle, and fosters a culture of trust in analytics. The architecture ensures adaptability, transparency, and regulatory compliance, making it an effective tool for implementing AI in entrepreneurial structures.
