The subject of the study is the distribution and load balancing systems of computing clusters of cloud data centers (data centers) containing a variety of servers, data storage systems, I/O system interconnected by a communication network. The solution of the problem of efficient allocation of data center resources is based on an approach based on a heuristic greedy algorithm with a limited search procedure and restrictions on the resources of its hardware and software complex. The importance of sorting is noted, by determining the maximum possible number of servers and virtual machines for which distribution is assigned. The depth of such a search provides the necessary balance between the quality of service and the distribution time. Therefore, the solution of the problem of distribution and load balancing is considered in the form of the following stages: optimal distribution of software applications across virtual machines, distribution of virtual machines across the servers of a data center cluster, and the construction of an algo scheme.

An approach to the development and study of a load balancing system for data centers (DC) taking into account the fractal properties of network traffic is proposed. The fractal properties of network traffic make it possible to predict, with a fairly high probability, the appearance of bursts and drops in its activity at certain time intervals, the appearance of time periods with a possible overload in the performance of servers and network equipment, which makes it possible to develop methods for efficient planning and distribution of tasks within the data center, ensuring a statistically uniform loading its functional elements, eliminating the occurrence of overloads. The dynamic method is based on the results of statistical analysis of incoming traffic, its distribution density, autocorrelation function, spectral density, and the level of fractality. The practical significance of the proposed research results lies in the substantiation and development of a method for dynamic distribution and load balancing in cloud computing, taking into account the fractal properties of network traffic. The methods and models presented in the work can be applied in existing data processing centers to increase their productivity and improve the quality of implementation of information services.

The paper describes a technique that allows you to outline the scope of possible (in principle) measuring devices and classify them according to scales corresponding to their measurement procedures. And also the algorithm is described and the corresponding software is created that im-plements the specified algorithm of the general method of searching for universal scales of the cor-responding rank for each measuring device. The research is based on the principle of phenomenological symmetry of Yu.I. Kulakov and concerns only a certain subclass of universal theories. For this purpose, the following definition of the empirical structure is introduced. The triple (M,N,p) - empirical structure, if appropriate (giv-en by (n + m)-local relation Rm,n,p satisfies the condition (Vii... in gM) (Vai... am g N) Rm,n,p (ii, in; ai, am); in this case, the pair of numbers r = (n, m) is called the rank of this structure, and if М п N= 0, then the number k = n + m is called its complexity. It is assumed that М п N= 0. All considerations relate to the empirical structure of rank. Solutions of the functional equa-tion f(u,v,w) = f(f(u,v,t), f(s,v,t), f(s,v,w)) are sought in the class of locally linear functions decom-posable in the Taylor series at each point. The basis for solving this problem is to find the function of re-grading the scale of the device to the canonical form. To do this, the corresponding overgrading hypothesis is formulated and tested. The implementation of the set of re-grading functions is based on the approximation method using or-thogonal Chebyshev polynomials for the case of equidistant points. The measurement tool selection algorithm uses an inductive user interface to make applica-tion programs simpler by breaking down functionality into screens or pages that are easier to both describe and understand. This allows you to both expand the range of users and reduce the amount of their thoughts that do not relate to the essence of the problem being solved (i.e., simplify the pro-cess of solving the problem on a computer), while maintaining its scientific value.

The article deals with the problem of guaranteeing of safe operation of an energetic super system segment, for instance of nuclear power plants (NPP) or thermal power plants (TPP) in the face of network threats to the synchronous equipment operating mode. It proves the necessity of the use of agent based algorithms of monitoring and analysis of the compliance of operating modes with well-established behavioral regimes (i.e. with the library of admissible commands), constructed on the base of integration of synchronizing agent based ensemble of intelligent energetic equip-ment with well-established behavioral regimes. The implementation of agent based technologies is being introduced in the form of program based- or software-hardware system tools, providing analysis of data flows and giving signals to the services of maintenance of synchronous equipment operating regimes in order to implement measures eliminating emerged threats. The article offers the implementation of typical behavioral patterns of the segments of energetic super system de-scribable in a limited number of characteristics, the tuning of which could provide the distinction of the standard operating mode of a segment of the energetic super system from that of an energetic super system which was attacked.

The article is devoted to one of the rapidly developing areas in the Russian market of electronic industry - e-Commerce (electronic commerce). From English, e-Commerce is translated as electronic commerce this is the field of e-commerce, which includes the electronic sale and purchase of goods or services via the Internet, including the execution of such operations as online payments/transfers, etc. E-Commerce is the largest sector of the electronics industry and is based primarily on the technological advances of the semiconductor industry. During the period of coronavirus infection (COVID-19), which occurred in 2019, the growth of online sales, as well as the purchasing audience of e-Commerce in Russia, increased many times. This is primarily due to the epidemiological dangerous situation that was caused by the pandemic. In this regard, buying food via the Internet was the only way to protect your life. With the removal of restrictive measures, the growth of online sales according to experts of the Association of Internet trade companies (AKIT) in the first half of 2020 amounted to about 10,9 %, a significant contribution to which was made by the food delivery segment. In addition, according to AKIT forecasts, the online trading market will feel the effect of the pandemic until 2024. In the future, timesaving factors, convenience, and a service that will simplify their lives as much as possible will play an important role for customers when making purchases. Despite this, it is possible to identify some growth drivers for the development of online food trading. In this article, the author has identified the most significant growth drivers that can lead to a powerful push to promote online food sales.

This article discusses the most common sweeteners from the point of view of the impact on the human body. The relevance of this topic lies in the fact that modern humanity is constantly searching for ways to combat such diseases as diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, dental caries, which are associated with excessive sugar consumption. For thousands of years, humanity has been eating natural foods containing complex carbohydrates. Currently, the structure of the diet has changed - people began to consume refined refined carbohydrates, in other words, ordinary sugar. The daily sugar intake worldwide is close to 500 kcal per day, whereas the recommended daily sugar intake for a person of normal weight is about 25 g or 96 kcal per day. The availability of a variety offoods containing a large amount of sugar in the conditions of modern inactivity is one of the reasons for the growth of obesity and many related complications, such as hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia, predisposing to glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus. The most important effective therapeutic tool for the prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications is to replace the consumption of refined carbohydrates with sugar substitutes that have a sweet taste, but do not contain calories and to a much lesser extent stimulate the secretion of insulin. Diseases of the oral cavity are also a serious problem of modern man. Therefore, from this point of view, the use of sweeteners is also relevant. This article presents a comparative analysis of natural and synthetic sugar-like substances (xylitol, maltitol, sorbitol, erythritol, sucralose, tagatose, arhat extract, allulose, inulin, stevia) according to their organoleptic and physico-chemical properties, sweetness, caloric content, and effects on the gastrointestinal tract and tooth enamel. The substances considered are comparable in taste to sugar, but do not have nutritional energy, do not contain glucose in their composition and are much slower to digest. They do not cause harm to health and can be used as a component of therapeutic dietary nutrition for patients with diabetes and people with excess body weight.

The relevance of the article is due to the current trends in the active introduction of digital technologies into the education system of the Russian Federation, including the Microsoft PowerPoint program, which provides increased visibility of the presented information. However, with the accelerated introduction of digital technologies that well provide information components of the educational process, traditional interpersonal communications are qualitatively changing, losing their effective psycho-emotional aspects, and the upbringing component of education is threatened as a result of which. The conclusion is justified that it is necessary to actively introduce technologies in humanitarian education that use all the potential capabilities of new versions of the Microsoft PowerPoint program.

Elitology explores the processes of socio-political governance, identifies and describes the social stratum that exercises power functions and is the most important subject ofpolitics.

The events around Afghanistan in the summer of 2021 were the evidence of the geopolitical reorganization of the world associated with the final collapse of the monopolar world order. Skeptics said that the world was plunging into chaos, due to the departure of the hegemon (USA) from the political arena; optimists began to assert the formation of the foundations of a multipolar world, with new powers in international relations (leaders) and new geopolitical "rules of the game". Security has become one of the key values of the modern political world. Collective security against the challenges of systemic threats has become especially valuable. The growth of instability in a particular region can cause a chain reaction and give rise to an increase in uncontrollable chaos. It is possible to cope with such challenges only by creating a collective security system that excludes dictate from the world hegemon. The events of the summer of 2021 around Afghanistan showed how fragile the world and the existing system of international relations can be. The policy of imposing democratic values pursued in this region by the Western coalition led by the United States has given rise to a number of serious socio-economic, cultural and political problems. The leading countries of this region (Russia, China, Iran, India) faced the problem of preventing chaos and general destabilization of the situation in Eurasia - in the region along the line of the Cauca-sus - Caspian - Central Asia - Pamir/Tibet. The Afghan geopolitical arc can seriously destabilize the situation throughout the Eurasian space. The article is devoted to the analysis of threats to in-ternational security that arise in connection with the latest Afghan events.

The Eurasian Economic Union as an international organization of regional economic integration is the middle space within which the global project of the Greater Eurasian Partnership is formed. The triad of Eurasian states of the EAEU (Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan) form the basis of this Union and the integration potential of its development. The specifics of the EAEU geographical space is in conjunction with the most important international organizations of Eurasia, within the geopolitical and economic boundaries of which the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the European Union (EU) and others are developing. A special place is occupied by the informal association of the Caspian Region states (CRS), where the geopolitical project " The Greater Caspian Region" is being formed. In the framework of this configuration possible approaches to the conjugation of the most important segments of the EEU and the Caspian region development are considered.

This article is an intermediate result of the study of contemporary instruments of memory policy in the Slovak Republic. Taking the concept of "political" memory as a starting point, the authors reveal the main technologies of its formation used by modern Slovak authorities. The research is based on Slovak laws regulating the interpretation of events in national history and the annual reports on the activities of National Memory Institute in Bratislava for the years 2003-2019. The study found that the conceptual basis of memory policy in this country remains the concept of totalitarianism, developed during the Cold War, elevated to the level of political doctrine, asserting the identity of all socialist regimes with fascism as a historically discredited ideology and system. In 2002, this identity was enshrined in law, introducing the definition of the "period of non-freedom" 1939-1989. The authors conclude that the purposeful discrediting of the socialist past essentially serves as an additional tool for the internal legitimization of the democratic present, the relevance of the use of which seems to persist.

The article analyzes the nature of the population's trust in the government and the features of its formation in the context of the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in modern Russia. The authors note that a decrease in trust in the authorities during a pandemic is fraught with low efficiency of measures taken by the state aimed at countering the spread of mass infection. The most important factors influencing the formation of public confidence in the state are socioeconomic factors related to the level and quality of life of citizens, indicators of the social well-being of the population.

As a result of the study, the most frequent lexico-stylistic features characteristic of the analyzed tourist Internet texts were identified.

Despite the fact that NATO declares a focus on countering modern threats, after the end of the cold war, the Alliance continues to search for external enemies. Today, issues of security challenges from Russia have come to the forefront of the NATO agenda. The modern world is witnessing unprecedented hysteria on the part of the West about Moscow's "occupation plans", and the structure of NATO spending near the Russian borders is increasing, the concentration of Alliance forces in Eastern Europe continues. The article proves that all attempts to pursue a policy towards Russia from a position of strength are counterproductive. It is concluded that the geopolitical rivalry between Russia and NATO forces, which began in 2014, has turned into the largest confrontation since the Cold War by 2021, as a result of which stability in the world has deteriorated sharply.

Alienation in the modern world has become a sign not only of the ill-being of a single person, but, unfortunately, of society, which generates in the subject an irreconcilable conflict with the outside world, complete rejection of the outside world, its foundations, canons and rules. Alienation has become a denial of possible cooperation, co-creation, lack of empathy, etc. The article proves that the phenomenon of alienation is not only a psychological or social phenomenon concerning the discrepancy between the individual's expectations and social reality. The problem of alienation becomes a problem of society, which suffers from "shooters" and terrorists, gives uncertainty to society in state protection, equality of all before the law, confusion appears before the unknown, communication links are disrupted, a sense of insecurity before criminals appears in society, etc. The authors suggest ways to minimize the processes of alienation in modern society.

Introduction. During a period of social upheaval, such as the coronavirus pandemic, the value of trust as a social capital increases, which allows maintaining the stability of the situation and harmonizing the relations of society and government institutions. Identification of new practices of interaction between government and society in the context of a pandemic is necessary to find effective technologies to increase the level of public confidence in regional authorities.

Globalization and the emerging information society contribute to the perturbation of societies on a planetary scale, changing the habits and traditions of peoples and ethnic groups. The changes also affect many indigenous peoples around the world, who are increasingly marginalized and in the process of transformation lose touch with their native languages. Some indigenous peoples have to experience problems related to climate change or forced relocation, an unfavorable educational situation and illiteracy. Migration processes, various forms of discrimination, environmental disasters and other bifurcations also negatively affect the development of indigenous languages. It is concluded that at present there is a risk that indigenous languages will fall out of everyday use, and problems related to indigenous languages can have much broader consequences, affecting a wide range of areas.

The article analyzes the current state of educational policy in the Russian Federation, the course taken on the introduction of digital technologies and the use of innovative pedagogical techniques in teaching, as well as the practice- and competence-oriented approach being implemented. Attention is drawn to the possible risks and vulnerabilities of the chosen course on the example of the higher education system. The subject of the study is the most relevant areas of transformation of the current educational model, namely: the use of gender technology in education, reliance on a practice-oriented approach and a competency-based model of professional training, as well as possible risks and vulnerabilities in the implementation of a two-level system of higher education. Special attention is paid to the riskiness of such a factor as the introduction of innovative pedagogical techniques, which have taken on a large-scale nature and sometimes poorly controlled. In order to overcome emerging risk situations, it is proposed to make innovative processes in education controlled, and in the form of monitoring and focused on the end user - the student. Innovative pedagogical methods in higher education should be author's, professionally oriented, allowing to implement a competence model. The author also points out the ambiguity of the bachelor's degree-master's degree bundle, which not only does not provide for continuity, but moreover excludes it, providing an opportunity to study under master's degree programs sometimes in a radically different direction of training than the basic education received at the bachelor's level, thereby leveling the significance and essence of the institute of magistracy, practically reducing it to the level of additional professional training, and at best as the shortest way to obtain a second higher education. This situation has not developed due to deformations in the application of educational legislation or distortion of the essence of the magistracy. It exists only due to the fact that participants in educational legal relations are clearly guided by the norms of the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation". The specialty stands apart in these relations, the training programs of which have been significantly updated in the last few years, and the list of training areas in a particular specialty has expanded. This is especially evident when preparing future lawyers. The legislator, within the enlarged group 40.00.00, grants the right to choose to study both under the bachelor's degree program and four specialty programs, which is provided for in the All-Russian Classifier of Educational Specialties providing for a narrower specialization. However, regulatory legal acts containing qualification requirements for future legal personnel as qualification requirements indicate the presence of a basic education - bachelor's degree, and as the next stage, a master's degree. Only in this case, the continuity of the bachelor's-master's degree relationship is clearly traced. It is advisable to provide such a model in other areas of training to reduce vulnerabilities and risks.

The tourism industry in Russia is in the process of digital transformation, which is aimed at modifying the paradigm of domestic tourism. In this context, special attention is paid to domestic tourism, as due to the spread of the coronovirus infection COVID-2019, some countries "giants" in the field of economic efficiency in tourism were forced to close their borders because of the epidemiological situation. As a consequence, in the era of "self-isolation," the main trend in tourism was virtual tourism, which was available through digital platforms.

The Yohkoh space solar observatory has been designed to take images of the Sun in the soft X-ray range (10A), with particle energies of ~1 keV. A coronal loop flare occurred on November 2, 1992, which was captured by Yohkoh, which made it possible to record the first time that the top of the coronal loop was periodically pulled up and then closed again. This process is very similar to the way the tail of the Earth's magnetosphere is pulled out during a magnetic substorm. It was also possible to trace the evolution of the loop during a powerful flare.

In view of the presence of a rich chemical environment on the surface and in the underground part of the CMW laccolith mountains, the complex structure of mountain ranges (cracks, cavities, adits and shafts), the processes of radon transfer by air masses and high humidity, special conditions are formed that contribute to the formation of new mineralizations in a period of 20-50 years. According to the results of geological exploration work on Mount Byk, among six mineral samples a new mineral has been discovered and confirmed. The chemical formula is similar to strassmanite, but it is new to our region and has a unique crystal structure different from other minerals.
