At present, technologies and methodological aspects of managing groups of multirobotized systems intensively developed. The full application of decentralized groups of robots requires the solution of several classes of problems, one of which known as the distribution of tasks in a group of robots or the division of labor. Algorithms for the division of labor are diverse and based on a wide range of mathematical methods, many scientific works are devoted to this issue. To systematize the methods of task distribution, this paper analyzes and classifies the tasks to solve for group robotics. In the process of studying the literature on this issue, a pool of tasks obtained that solve certain methods. As a result of the literature review, it is proposed to introduce a classification of tasks based on the specifics of their implementation.

Traffic congestion is a serious problem in many cities, resulting in lost time, increased air pollution, and reduced quality of life. In the past few years, time series models have been widely used to predict traffic flows and congestion. This study analyzes traffic data collected over several years and develops a predictive model based on time series analysis techniques. The model takes into account various factors that contribute to congestion, such as time of day, day of the week, and junction. The results show that the model effectively predicts traffic congestion with a high degree of accuracy, which can be used to make rational decisions and reduce urban traffic congestion

Milk casein has important properties that ensure the widespread use of this protein in industry and increased interest in its study by researchers. Studies of the structure of casein in its native state have revealed its micellar structure. The presence of large ions leads to an increase in the volume of micelles, while acidification results in a decrease. During storage, the ability of MCC to rehydrate and dissolve reduces, aggregation and degradation of the structure are observed, with an increase in storage temperature, these indicators noticeably decrease. Thermal stability is greatest near neutral pH. MCC has gel and foaming properties. In the presence of transglutaminase, the stability of micelles rises. In the same way, under the increased pressure – the coagulation time of micelles increases. The surface activity and hydrophilicity of micellar casein directly depend on the degree of aggregation of micelles, the lower it is, the higher the values of these indicators. The organoleptic characteristics of this additive are favorable.

Due to the high content of protein and the peculiarities of its digestibility, MCC is actively used in the production of specialized nutrition, for example, dietary, sports, children's, etc. The process of producing yogurt, desserts, cheeses (processed and hard) is an aggregation of milk casein to varying degrees, the use of commercially available micellar casein makes it possible to make the production process more controlled and improves the quality of final products. In the meat processing industry, functional additives containing milk proteins and casein are actively used, however, there are no data on the introduction of micellar casein into functional mixtures as an individual component.

A detailed analysis of the data regarding the physicochemical and technological properties of micellar casein concentrate, such as thermal stability, solubility, waterretaining and gelling abilities, surface-active properties, foaming and influence on the organoleptic properties of products, is given. The existing examples of its application in various fields of the food industry are considered: in the production of high-protein and lowcarbohydrate drinks, sports nutrition, yoghurts and desserts, hard and processed cheeses, as well as in meat processing.

The study and analysis of the chemical composition and biochemical parameters of caviar raw materials of freshwater fish living in the lower reaches of the Volga confirm the fact that caviar raw materials have a relatively high energy and biological efficiency of functioning and the value of protein and lipid complexes. The biological value of protein complexes is due to the presence of the entire list of essential amino acids, the total proportion of which is higher compared to the ideal protein substance. Freshwater, like marine caviar, is an excellent source of lipids, including phospholipids, which contain a significant amount of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Therefore, in recent studies related to fish raw materials and related products, much attention is paid to them. This article provides an overview of the chemical composition and properties of caviar of four species of fish, the caviar component of which is in low demand in native and processed form in the domestic fish products market.

The relevance of obtaining whey after enzymatic hydrolysis for various types of functional drinks is substantiated. A comparative analysis of the enzymatic activity of different enzymes was carried out, and a composition of a functional drink was developed.

In the current conditions, the search for new biologically active substances of various functional orientation from affordable and inexpensive plant raw materials, the development of meat products with functional additives, the study of their consumer properties and effectiveness are promising tasks. Pumpkin flour is a naturally biologically active proteinvitamin-mineral complex of plant origin, combining the main essential amino acids, macroand microelements, vitamins and fiber. The purpose of the work is to study the chemical composition and functional and technological properties of zucchini seeds with the prospect of being used as a biocorrector in the technology of functional meat products. The research was carried out at the Department of Food Technologies of the Don State Agrarian University and at the Meat Processing Plant LLC, Razvilnoye village, Peschanokopsky district, Rostov region. It has been established that the introduction of zucchini seed additives into the formulations of meat products improves the organoleptic and physico-chemical characteristics of finished products. The prototypes were distinguished by a more delicate consistency and higher uniformity of minced meat on the cut, an increase in the mass fraction of protein and a decrease in the proportion of fat were also noted.

The purpose of the work is to calculate the cost of the developed functional drink based on mast tea. Matcha is a Japanese powdered green tea. At the first stage, the total investment volume is estimated: the prices for equipment and installation are summed up. The main stage is the calculation of the cost of the developed functional drink based on matcha tea. To obtain the cost index, the costs of raw materials, containers and packaging for the year are calculated. Next, the amount of water costs for various production needs is calculated, as well as the electricity consumed by the equipment. At the next stage, staff salaries are calculated, which consists of the main and additional wages of the workers of the enterprise. The calculation is made with respect to such concepts as: working time fund, working time balance. The payroll expenses per 1 liter of finished products were calculated. It was important to take into account mandatory social payments, social insurance contributions. Next, the amount of depreciation deductions was calculated. One of the most important indicators for calculating the cost price is rent. It is supposed to lease land with a production facility located on it. Then the indicator was calculated – other costs. These costs were approximately assumed to be equal to 2% of the cost of raw materials. The value of the production cost of products is revealed. The total cost of production was calculated as the sum of the production cost and, previously found, non-production costs. The structure of the total cost for a different volume of the drink is calculated and presented in tabular data. Next, the value of the profitability of the finished product was determined. In addition, the efficiency of the production of matcha tea drink was determined based on the assessment of the payback period. According to the results, it turned out that the company will pay off in less than 4 years. The calculation showed that the implementation of the investment project is expedient. The positive value of accumulated cash flows means that we have additional opportunities. Due to the fact that this investment project is financed by borrowed funds, the amount of cash income that the firm can use to repay the loan and pay interest on the loan was calculated. As a result of the feasibility study of the project, the following values were calculated: the cost of the annual finished product of 14,600,466 rubles; the selling price of the enterprise of the annual finished product of 2101,9700 rubles, or 57.5 rubles for one bottle of a 500 ml drink; the net profit of the enterprise for the year of 6419,230 rubles; the cost of 1 ruble of marketable products – 0.80 rubles. Thus, the developed project can be evaluated as effective. The product produced is a functional drink containing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Due to the usefulness of the drink, it will be in demand among consumers. In addition, the profitability of the drink is 16%, which indicates the efficiency of the enterprise.

State support for the agro-industrial complex on the Crimean peninsula has led to an increase in the volume of agricultural production. The appearance of a sufficient number of local food products, as well as the desire of the population to eat high-quality products, contribute to the emergence of public catering establishments on the peninsula adhering to the principles of locavoring (regionality, seasonality, preservation of ecology, the use of natural products, support for domestic producers).

The article is devoted to the systematic analysis of the Caucasian frontier as a unique phenomenon of national history. The article shows the multidimensional nature of the Caucasian frontier, analyzes the modern typology of the concept of "frontier". The substantiation of the necessity and expediency of a systematic approach to the study of the frontier as an objective reality that affects the development and stability of the state is carried out.

The Soviet historical heritage is not only an instrument of state policy, but also a significant element of modern socio-political processes. Ideas about the Soviet national-state heritage are of great importance in shaping the political consciousness of modern Russians. Ideas about the Soviet national-state heritage are of great importance in shaping the value and worldview foundations of modern Russian identity. At present, in the scientific and public environment, there is an awareness of the need to ensure historical continuity and preserve memory based on the formation of common ideas about the Soviet past and its role in modern Russia. The state policy of memory constructs unifying meanings and narratives largely based on Soviet history and state-patriotic traditions. The Soviet legacy can be included in the construct of the value-political image of the future. Historical memory is one of the foundations for the consolidation of society in multi-ethnic and multi-confessional regions, leads to the unification of people of different generations and social strata, and has an important impact on the political processes of modern Russia. For a significant part of the population, Soviet values and social orientation, as well as the memory of the country's greatness on the world stage, are attractive landmarks that can become starting points for the project of the future.

This article reviews existing scientific approaches to the corruption study such as political, economic, functional, and normative-values-based approaches.

The political approach views corruption as the misuse of power by a public official for personal and/or group political gain, the solution to corruption is put forward to improve democratization.

The economic approach regards the individual as a rational agent, and defines corruption as rationally selfish behavior with careful calculation. All individuals, including politicians and businessmen, commit corruption on selfishly rational calculations because the benefit of corruption is greater than the risk.

The functional approach asserts the positive role of corruption in developing countries depending on the socio-cultural context. In this regard, in each society corruption is defined according to each sociocultural context.

The author puts forward that the main task in the fight against corruption is to develop a «judgment criterion of corruption», according to which corruption can be defined and which does not fluctuate in each context. In this regard, the author first considers legal norms as a «judgment criterion of corruption» for a more consistent definition of corruption.

According to the normative value approach, when discussing the «criterion» it is necessary to consider not only legal norms but also the «a tacit consent» of society. This approach additionally treats corruption as inappropriate behavior with tacit consent and suggests moral principles such as ethics, morality, goodwill and other similar values as the judgment criterion for corruption.

However, in order to say that the «criterion of society's judgment» equals moralprinciples or a tacit consent, precise explanations must be provided as to what the values presented above are and whether they can serve as a «just criterion» regardless of any sociocultural context and time horizon.

Considering the above approaches, the author concludes that for a true fight against corruption it is necessary to develop a «judgment criterion of corruption», which allows to identify the fundamental causes of corruption, to define its universal definition and to develop a coherent anti-corruption strategy.

The article examines the multi-vector nature of modern Spanish foreign policy. The article considers the strategy of external actions in which the European vector is the key and is perceived by the Spanish government as a natural basis for its political and economic development. The North American and Latin American vector of foreign policy is presented. The change of power in the United States and Spain has demonstrated a steady progressive dynamics in Spanish-American relations. The designated vectors of foreign policy form a triad, but the influence of four more foreign policy choices is increasing: American, Mediterranean, Middle East, Asia-Pacific.

Based on statistical data, the author analyzed specific measures of the united West against the Islamic Republic of Iran to apply sanctions in response to the creation of a nuclear program. It is determined that, based on the principles of the "economy of resistance", Iran has managed to reorient its industry, solve the problems of technology development, establish a national payment system, change the assortment and volumes of exports and imports. The author states that the anti-sanctions experience of the Islamic Republic of Iran makes it possible to claim the role of a regional leader.

The issues of the genesis and evolution of terrorism are considered. The scientific positions of the concept of "terrorism" are indicated. The data of the NCFU students' opinion poll on the ideology of terrorism are presented.

The main views on the nature of terrorism are outlined. The modern essence of state terrorism is revealed on the example of sabotage by NATO countries against Russia. The terrorist nature of the current stage of Ukraine's domestic and foreign policy is shown.

The article explores the processes of transformation of the Caspian region from the area of post-Soviet collapse into a place for the implementation of strategically beneficial economic projects. Using the analytical framework of "offensive realism" theory, this study shows that the balance of large and small potentials creates positive opportunities for the implementation of promising economic and infrastructure projects. The author proves that at present the Caspian region demonstrates to the whole world the practical application of the principles of multi-vector and multi-polarity. At the same time, the diplomatic services of the Caspian five have to act precisely in the conditions of a multi-vector foreign policy, which has specific features that correspond to the changing nature of the modern international situation.

In the article the authors consider the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on political participation. They prove that restrictive measures in some states have increased the popularity of ultra-right political forces, transformed the models of political participation in favor of an unconventional form, and also led to the strengthening of authoritarian tendencies and, consequently, the restriction of political participation.

The article discusses the risks of conflict of macropolitical identities in regional political processes on the example of the North Caucasus. Macropolitical identity reveals the totality of different ways of identifying with the community that is associated with the state. The significance of group, ethnic and confessional interests for the multi-ethnic population creates risks of politicization of identities. Differences in identity priorities remain between representatives of the North Caucasian peoples and the Russian population of the region. The youth of the North Caucasus is losing traditional identification guidelines and social norms, and is in search of new grounds for self-identification. The erosion of civic identity requires a search for new foundations for strengthening Russian identity, based on broad historical and cultural (civilizational) codes. Stopping ethno-political conflicts, depoliticization of ethnicity is becoming one of the priorities in the management of multi-ethnic communities.

The article examines the conformism and nonconformism of youth in modern Russian conditions, the forms of its manifestation in various institutional environments, as well as factors affecting the conformity of youth. The analysis of the influence of various institutions of civic participation on the degree of manifestation of youth nonconformism and its transformation into other forms of behavior is carried out.

Social and political requirements of youth are changing rapidly, at the same time transforming methods of work with this group of citizens. In the near future great transformation is anticipated in the field of state youth policy due to a number of innovations formed in the context of implementation of Federal Law "On youth policy in the Russian Federation". Position of young people towards not only state and politics, but social foundations and values also plays by no means unimportant role here. The youth is more and more faced with the choice between submission to major opinion (complete acceptance of social values) and insistence on one's own point of view, one's own way, formats for representation of one's position.

The article considers different approaches to define conformism and nonconformism terms with due account for current status of youth attitude development, as well as formats and mechanisms of influence that will potentially allow to transfer nonconformism into other, more gentle manifestations of youth participation in the social and political life of the country. The institutionalized forms of youth public participation play a major role in such transformation. Among the forms that to a greater degree exert influence on the youth author distinguishes four large groups of institutions: youth non-profit organizations in form of social organizations; youth associations; youth public authorities; consultative entities formed by the government authorities, and authorities for youth outreach of different tiers. In all these forms, the youth demonstrate its conformity differently. Some forms, such as youth parliaments and governments form conformist perception of reality to the fullest extent, while in non-profit organizations of certain directions of activities such influence is scarcely demonstrated.

Youth engagement in institutionalized forms of public participation allows the youth, on the one hand, to demonstrate its conformity, and, on the other hand, to satisfy the need in alteration of the existing order. The author arrives at conclusion that youth nonconformism varies depending on forms and attitude of the institute for public participation where the youth carry out its activities, as well as on its role in such institute. To influence the degree of nonconformism it is essential to organize interaction with institutes of youth participation and their social and political attitude.

In the article, the authors come to the conclusion that many facts point to the bifurcation of the modern world order. The idea is substantiated that the system will acquire the usual structural outlines. It is proved that at present it is premature to talk about unipolarity, bipolarity or multipolarity of the system. The authors substantiate the idea that we are witnessing the process of dividing the actors of the system into a minority that supports some old or new structure, and a majority that goes into "free swimming", abandoning structural restrictions.

The article examines the main aspects of problematic issues of political participation of modern youth organizations in the public life of the Russian Federation. The author summarizes the theoretical foundations of the formation of the political culture of youth, political participation of youth organizations and technologies of its support. Among the significant solutions to increase the political activity of young people in modern political processes in Russia, the author highlights the components of information support for the political participation of modern youth organizations based on the theoretical model of such support. The model includes variable components, with key criteria indicating the effectiveness of the presented information system. The conclusion is summarized that the most effective means of influence by youth organizations on the intensity of political involvement of its target audience mainly belong to information technologies and media means via the Internet.

The restaurant business suffered greatly during the pandemic, new technologies became in demand in the organization of the delivery of culinary products, methods of service and the formation of a "new" menu. Collaboration is the process of joint activity of two or more parties in any field to achieve common goals. There was a collaboration with applications for the delivery of culinary products, the introduction of various technologies on the one hand, and adapting to the needs of the market, a "lowcalorie" and "vegetable" menu for adherents of a healthy diet, on the other hand, became in demand.

Interest in facial emotion recognition is increasing and new algorithms and methods are being introduced. Recent advances in supervised and unsupervised machine learning have led to breakthroughs in research, and more and more accurate systems are emerging every year. However, despite significant progress, emotion detection remains a very challenging task. Experimental studies of emotional processes are usually based on the observation of images with affective content, including facial expressions. This paper presents the implementation of an emotional expression classifier by training a face detection algorithm on a dataset of AKDEF frontal face images (N = 4,900). The trained convolutional The purpose of the study was to present normative data regarding the recognition of six facial expressions with emotional content as well as neutral facial expressions. using a forced-choice task. In this study, agreement in recognition between the expressions depicted and chosen by the participants ranged from 70% (for anger) to 76% (for happiness). Overall, the results show a high level of recognition of the facial expressions presented, suggesting that the AKDEF provides adequate stimuli for studies examining the recognition of facial expressions of emotion. Participant gender and age had limited impact on emotion recognition, but model gender and age require additional consideration.
