When evaluating student work, the analysis of written assignments, particularly the analysis of source code, becomes particularly relevant. This article discusses an approach for evaluating the dynamics of feature changes in students' source code. Various metrics of source code are analyzed and key metrics are identified, including quantitative metrics, program control flow complexity metrics, and the TIOBE quality indicator. A set of text data containing program source codes from a website dedicated to practical programming, was used to determine threshold values for each metric and categorize them. The obtained results were used to conduct an analysis of students' source code using a developed service that allows for the evaluation of work based on key features, the observation of dynamics in code indicators, and the understanding of a student's position within the group based on the obtained values.

The work presents the review of modern log trucks under the recent sanctions imposed. The author states that the problem of renewing the existing log trucks becomes urgent for forest transporting and logging companies nowadays. There is a wide range of new basic chassis and trucks at the market to build log trucks with a wheel formula 6x4 and 6x6 produced by Russian, Belorussian and Chinese factories. A great number of trailer links is produced to build log trucks. There is an opportunity to buy used trucks of other companies. For the first stage of the technical and economic analysis and preliminary selection of the optimal type and composition of a logging truck, a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of logging trucks was carried out. The analysis shows that Russian log trucks with engine power more than 400 HP (horsepower) can compete with the best foreign models. Nevertheless, the problem of reliability of Russian, Belorussian and Chinese log trucks needs further research.

The paper provides a brief overview of publications on the application of mathematical modeling methods in the study of the patterns of functioning of hydroelectric power plants (HPPs). In particular, the following are considered: mathematical models of the total minimum water consumption for a cascade hydropower system in China; a mathematical model of hydropower plants; a mathematical model of two small hydroelectric power plants operating in tandem; accurate modeling of hydraulic transient characteristics in a complex drainage system. The task of filling in the gaps in the data concerning the operation of hydroelectric power plants is formulated. The approach to its solution is proposed to be based on the use of the method described in previous publications by one of the authors and based on the use of regression analysis apparatus. The specific task of filling in data gaps for a hydroelectric unit of one of the Siberian hydroelectric power plants has been solved. The following factors are used: active and reactive power of the electric generator, voltage, current and temperature of the stator iron, rotor current, air cooler hot air temperature.

Occupational safety is one of the important aspects of the organization of work in production. Domestic machines and units used in the food industry do not yet allow to exclude the impact of harmful and dangerous production factors, to make the work of employees safe. In this context, it is important to study active and passive methods of noise and vibration suppression, their effectiveness in ensuring normalized working conditions of workers on the example of a specific production. Existing research, as a rule, focuses on one criterion when choosing protection methods. However, an integrated approach is advisable in solving this problem. The purpose of this study was to choose a rational method of protecting personnel from the effects of noise and vibration based on the economic justification of effective technical solutions. The obtained research results make it possible to take into account the criteria for evaluating the validity and acceptability of choosing a particular protection method, including from the standpoint of technical and economic calculation, when designing a security system. The above study showed the expediency of import substitution in the food and beverage industry, as well as the correlation between the introduced protection systems and an increase in the level of safety. The given algorithm of the feasibility study has the properties of scale and generality. It can be successfully implemented when choosing methods of protection from the effects of other harmful production factors found in various industries.

The article presents a way to increase the load-bearing capacity of a reinforced concrete column due to metal clips from the corners with an increase in the load on it. To ensure the joint operation of the existing column and the metal cage, the corners are subjected to prestressing, which is achieved by compressing the corners with jacks.

In order to negate the loss of strength, that can lead to collapse of constructions, we should take measures to prevent cracking. Every crack emersion in reinforced concrete indicates that the accumulated stress has been released in this area of the structure. The cause of cracks are internal tensile stresses that can occur due to internal processes in the element and from external loads on the structure. It is possible to eliminate cracks that have already appeared with the help of repair compounds that fill the volume of cracks in various ways. Injection, as one of the solutions, will help to maintain the strength and durability of the structure.

Digital twins of railway stations are necessary for planning work and taking the most effective management actions. An important factor is the compliance of the planned time costs with the actual ones. One of the tasks that are difficult to formalize at railway stations is the process of holding the rolling stock. This is due to the fact that the holding time depends on the human factor and the holding rolling stock. To create an automated station controlled by a digital twin, it is necessary to develop an automated holding system. One of the tasks in developing such a system is the problem of device location. This problem can be formulated as follows: it is necessary to place the minimum allowable number of holding devices in the controlled area in such a way that reliable holding is provided for any configuration of the rolling stock. As a tool for solving this problem, the most effective will be the use of methods of genetic algorithms. In this article, the authors consider the relevance of this study and the relevance of automating the holding of rolling stock.

The work is devoted to the problems of strategic planning in the digital technology market. The aim of the work is to build a decision support procedure for choosing a strategy, based on internal (related to the characteristics of the firm choosing the strategy) and external (conditioned by the state of the market) factors. It is assumed that the elementary strategy is described by the type, direction and applied area of activity. In this case, the possibility of combining several elementary strategies is considered. The main result of the work is a procedure for choosing a combined strategy based on the application of a genetic algorithm. The use of the methodological apparatus of evolutionary calculations is due to the large number of possible options for combined strategies and the complexity of their evaluation, which makes a complete enumeration of options impractical. The final choice is made by the decision maker based on their own preferences.

The reliability of assessing the amount of accumulated waste in the context of an imperfect scientific and methodological base for standardizing MSW, in the absence of generally accepted calculation methods, is not high enough. The possibility of using cluster analysis in the formation of a statistical sample of objects of a stationary trade network in setting standards for the accumulation of municipal solid waste is shown. A methodology for the formation of a representative statistical sample of objects of a stationary trading network has been developed when setting standards for the accumulation of solid municipal waste based on cluster analysis.
