A comparative analysis of the lighting conditions of school premises was carried out based on design solutions for lighting devices from three Russian lamp manufacturers. All projects were carried out using lighting devices based on recommendations to manufacturers to use their range of lamps to illuminate various school premises. The design was carried out using the DIALux program. Each of the three manufacturers is widely known to specialists and has established itself as a reliable manufacturer of domestic lighting products, ready to offer a full range of lamps for various school premises. A technical and economic comparison of the total present costs for all lighting installations (using the example of one entire school) made it possible to conduct a comparative analysis and determine the most profitable options. An analysis of the current state of the Russian market of lighting devices recommended by manufacturers for classroom lighting has been carried out, their characteristics have been reviewed, and their compliance with current energy efficiency requirements has been assessed. Conclusions and forecasts have been made for the further development of lighting equipment with LEDs for lighting classrooms, based on the need to constantly improve the modern range of lighting devices in terms of their energy efficiency and competitiveness.

The proposed work considers two types of neural network models for describing fire risks depending on the size of the population and preventive measures. Neural network models make it possible to consider fire risks integrally, taking into account the type of municipality or separately for each of the three existing types. Based on these models, a response surface for fire risks - population and prevention has been implemented, which allows you to assess the magnitude of risks based on input data to optimize decisions made. For a given value of the standard risk, the dependence of optimal prevention was obtained depending on the number of deposits in the municipality, which makes it possible to guarantee fire risks less than or equal to the standard indicators. The article analyzes and evaluates the effectiveness of preventive measures using neural networks. The input data for training the neural network includes fire data collected in Vietnam and Russia (population, number of fires, number of deaths, number of preventive measures). Based on these indicators, the effectiveness of preventive measures is predicted. Based on the forecasting results, decisions can be made to ensure fire safety in the state. The results obtained indicate the possibility of predicting the absolute value of the effectiveness of preventive work based on quantitative and categorical variables. A relatively large forecast error is associated, on the one hand, with the need to take into account a larger number of input parameters, and on the other hand, with the need to increase the size of the neural network training base. After refining the model, the results obtained allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures for provinces and cities.

The article contains the methodology and results of theoretical and experimental studies of the stress-strain state of a conical radial-beam dome with triangular shell elements. The results obtained by various methods are analyzed and compared. The triangular membrane panel is part of the radial beam dome structure and consists of a support frame and a steel membrane in the shape of a triangle. The shape of the triangle forming the membrane panel can be different and depends on the number of ribs in the radial beam dome. The supporting contour is a compressed-bending element of the dome and is made, as a rule, from a rolled steel profile with a channel section. The membrane is made of thin steel sheet and attached to the upper flange of the channel with self-tapping screws or spot welding. To assess the strength and deformability of a steel membrane sheet, its operation under the action of a uniformly distributed snow load, an unevenly distributed snow load and a concentrated installation load was considered. Several options for nonlinear static calculations in various computer systems are shown.

The features of the (m,m) implementation scheme of visual cryptography are considered, which differs from the existing ones by the formation of shadow images (shares) of an image containing a secret. The proposed approach is based not on the decomposition of the secret image into shares, but on their step-by-step transformation by multiplication by orthogonal Hadamard matrices. The images obtained during each transformation of the stock are noise-resistant in the data transmission channel.
