... which is crucial and will be repeatedly underlined and used below. In the former case, the matter concerns "the umbrella brand," i.e., the "integrated" results of all sciences dealing with problems of control and data pro- cessing in animals, machines and society. The latter case covers partial "intersection" of these results 8 (see Fig. 9), i.e., usage of common results for all component sciences. Furthermore, we will adhere to this approach 9 over and over again for discrimination between the corresponding umbrel- la brand and the common results of all component sciences in the context of different categories such as interdisciplinarity, systems analysis, organ- ...

Cybernetics was born in the middle of the 1940's as the science of "control and communication in the animal and the machine," or even as the science of GENERAL control laws (recall the definitions of cybernetics and Cybernetics above and Fig. 9). The triumph of cybernetics in the 1950-1960's, namely, the appear- ance of technical, economic, biological and other types of cybernetics, their close connections with operations research, mathematical control theory, as well as intensive application of its results in design and refine- ment of technical and information systems, ...

Nevertheless, in the early 1970's the development of cybernetics slowed down, its integral flow was decomposed into numerous partial subflows and "lost in details": the number of scientific directions 19 (see Fig. 9) increased and each of them continued further development, but general regularities were almost not identified and not systematized.

... Nonprofits are important parts of their communities and often connect with their communities through various IT arrangements. A systems approach is valuable in understanding nonprofit organizational agility, particularly during a pandemic, given the various ideals of logic and sequential control that are required in nonprofit decision-making (Novikov 2016). Systems theory can also be used by nonprofit leaders to help examine feedback protocols regarding IT use and help leaders to align data needs to their organization's strategic priorities (Azevedo 2021). ...
As the study of nonprofit organizations and their operating environment has become increasingly interdisciplinary, scholars have leveraged business strategies to increase knowledge and improve performance. This study considers how strategic information technology alignment can impact organizational agility among nonprofits that are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a dynamic and complex crisis environment. Using a survey of United States-based nonprofits, we find that organizational alignment as well as aspects of financial stability significantly impact organizational agility. This study concludes with implications for nonprofits to broaden their participation in a digital society by developing their capacity to strategically plan, design, and implement strategic initiatives that align the organizational mission and assist with agility. Further, a broader discussion on the need to expand the definition of alignment in the context of nonprofit organizations is made, particularly in regard to new initiatives to include underrepresented groups and diverse voices in strategic initiatives.

Managers can determine the function of ecosystem services in decision-making processes through valuation. Ecological
functions and processes that benefit people lead to ecosystem services. Valuing ecosystem services mean finding values for
the benefits of ecosystem services. For the concepts related to ecosystem services and their valuation, categories in different
articles have been presented. One of the most important issues is providing a suitable grouping for different methods and
concepts of valuing ecosystem services. In this study, the most recent topics related to ecosystem service valuation methods
were compiled and categorized by using the system theory. The aim of this study was to introduce some of the most impor-
tant classical and modern methods and concepts of valuing ecosystem services. For this aim, a review of articles related to
ecosystem service valuation methods, content analysis, and categorization of their contents was used to provide definitions,
concepts, and categorization of different methods. To summarize, valuation methods are classified into two types: classical
and modern methods. Classical approaches include the avoided cost method, the replacement cost method, the factor income
method, the travel cost method, hedonic pricing, and contingent value. Modern methods include the basic value transfer
method, deliberative ecosystem service valuation, valuation of climate change risks, and other cases that evolve every day
in the world of science. Findings of the paper have the potential to be beneficial in comprehending the definitions and ideas
of ecosystem services in ecosystem management, particularly in protected areas, participatory management, and pollutant
research. This research can add to the worldwide literature on the valuing of ecosystem services while also determining the
most pressing issues and difficulties of today, such as climate change, pollution, ecosystem management, and participatory
management.

The paper considers the application of the computational approach to the structure spectral analysis of GERT-network models of mobile object monitoring systems. The structure of the system for monitoring mobile objects using satellite communication channels is presented, in particular, the structure of the system for monitoring the flight path of aircraft. It is shown that the structure of monitoring systems can be represented as a GERT-network model, which allows at the initial stage to consider various options for the formation of interaction between a mobile object, for example, a manned or unmanned aerial vehicle, and a ground control complex. The main idea of the approach is to transform a known graph into a graph with the desired spectrum, which corresponds to a valid implementation of the GERT network graph. Obviously, the set of admissible implementations also includes a graph with the maximum probability of completing the process in a given time. The results are presented, which allow, when analyzing the GERT-network structure of a monitoring system, to assess, by fairly simple methods, the compliance of a structure variant with a number of requirements that apply to the system as a whole.

The transition from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing is evolving as a result of technological advancement. Industry 4.0 has a broader spectrum of the domain and has brought a radical shift to innovative activities, though it is still at an early stage of maturity. The need to embrace emerging techniques and technology is imperative more than ever. This article presents a review on the emerging industrial fourth revolution called Industry 4.0 (14.0). The research noticed no consensus among researchers on the number of technologies responsible for the radical industrial transformation. However, it highlights and discusses some unique enabling technologies of Industry 4.0 with applications areas. The study realized that in the future, robotics would take over the activities of manufacturing more intelligently and thus, leading to Industry 5.0. The article contributes to the bank of literature on Industry 4.0

P3 is a petri dish brimming with questions, not answers, but suggestions, to explore. The aim is not to teach or pontificate but may swing the proverbial pendulum between science and engineering in the context of commercial and consumer services. The reader may ponder about the amorphous questions or wonder in confusion. We disrupt the status quo and indulge in orthogonal, nonlinear, and asymmetric information arbitrage which may not be correct. This is a seed, sterile unless cultivated. We aspire to inform that tools and data related to the affluent world are not a template to be “copied” or applied to systems in the remaining (80%) parts of the world which suffer from economic constraints. We need different thinking that resists the inclination of the affluent 20% of the world to treat the rest of the world (80% of the population) as a market. The 80/20 concept evokes the Pareto [1] theme in P3 and the implication is that ideas may float between (porous) the 80/20 domains (partition).

The article deals with the application of the system approach for constructing informationalgorithmic support for the pharmaceutical development of solid dosage forms. Information modeling of the life cycle of pharmaceutical drug development has been carried out starting from the stage of studying the active pharmaceutical substance and ending with the utilization of the drug. These models are built in the IDEF0 nomination. A generalized block diagram is presented that reflects, in its most general form, the iterative process of developing a ready-made dosage form as applied to the further transfer of technology. The basis of the system approach is QbD - "Quality planned in the development". To implement the QbD principle on the basis of the system approach, systemic set-theoretic models of information support of pharmaceutical development in the nomenclature of Melentiev have been constructed. A model for controlling the pressing process is also provided, which takes into account all the technological stages in the development of a solid dosage form. Functional models in the IDEF0 nomenclature of the technological process are constructed from the preparation of premises, personnel and components of the dosage form to the stage of packing and packaging of the finished dosage form. The construction of an informational intellectual control system for pharmaceutical development has been considered in detail with particular attention paid to the construction of a database of medicinal and auxiliary substances using the example of solid dosage forms. In Melentiev's bracket notation, the database of auxiliary substances necessary for the design of a solid dosage form is filled. The "Entity-relationship" model and the relational model for the database of medicinal and auxiliary substances have been constructe
... SEA is based on a systematic approach and view of the social system in terms of energy [10]. This view allows us to represent the intra and extra-systematic processes such as modification or redistribution of energy within the system and between systems, taking into account the systemic approach [11], including representation of the internal processes in the system through physical analogy, ie, Wiener processes. In the theory of random processes, Wiener process is a mathematical model of Brownian motion (it is described by the Langevin equation) or a random walk in continuous time [12][13][14][15]. ...
The current article is devoted to reviewing the possibility to present a social conflict and some of its main characteristics through application of mathematics in the context of socio-energy approach. This line of research is timely due to necessity to create a prognostic apparatus for such events or phenomena. The methodology includes mathematical modeling approach based on nonlinear dynamics, system approach and Wiener process. Firstly, the author gives a brief classification of social conflicts, as well as description of science state in this field of knowledge. There are 4 types of conflicts in accordance with their localization and triggering conditions, different subjects and their groups. There is also presented the foundation of socio-energy approach, its apparatus and idea about the energy flow going through the social system, which is represented using graphical vector imaging. Lineal dynamic model lies in the basis of the socio-energy approach, as well as the elements of fractal geometry for description of intrastructuraldistribution in society. Three basic theories of social conflict classification were considered: Coser, Darendorf and Boulding. Two main aspects of social conflict were selected:statical and dynamical ones. As a result, specific generalized statements true for the majority socio conflicts types, as well as mathematically determined conception of social conflict.The conception will allow to create a mathematical model of social conflict based on stochastic differential equations. Such an instrument is able to correctly determinedefinite characteristic common factors of ethnosocial conflicts, including the conditions for their generating and localization.
Detection of crop diseases is imperative for agriculture to be sustainable. Automated crop disease detection is a major issue in the current agricultural industry due to its cluttered background. Internet of Things (IoT) has gained immense interest in the past decade, as it accumulates a high level of contextual information to identify crop diseases. This study paper presents a novel method based on Taylor-Water Wave Optimization-based Generative Ad-versarial Network (Taylor-WWO-based GAN) to identify diseases in the agricultural industry. In this method, the IoT nodes sense the plant leaves, and the sensed data are transmitted to the Base Station (BS) using Fractional Gravitational Gray Wolf Optimization. This technique selects the optimal path for data transmission. After performing IoT routing, crop diseases are recognized at the BS. For detecting crop disease, the input image acquired from the IoT routing phase is then forwarded to the next step, that is, preprocessing, to improve the quality of the image for further processing. Then, Seg-mentation Network (SegNet) is adapted to segment the images, and extraction of significant features is performed using the acquired segments. The extracted features are adapted by the GAN, which is trained by Taylor-WWO. The proposed Taylor-WWO is newly devised by integrating the Taylor series and WWO algorithms. The
Nonprofits are increasingly using business rhetoric, practices, and systems to create sustainable business models and remain attentive to social needs and stakeholder expectations in a depleted and suppressed economy. One such system of business appropriating is in the information technology and management space, which can help nonprofits operate efficiently in a cloud environment. There is a need for scholarly work devoted to understanding cloud-based control and management within nonprofit organization systems and environments. Given the dearth of exploratory work, this study examines how cloud management platforms are used in nonprofits and considers how they influence operations and nonprofit business models. Findings reveal that cloud management platforms help nonprofits create or optimize operations and improve internal and external relationships with stakeholders, often impacting business strategy by mission fulfillment and program needs. Recommendations for consideration of cloud management platforms are made based on criteria comparison of nonprofit purpose, structure, size, and data management needs.
