Subject of research: of the study is the norms of national and international legislation, enshrining the concept of ‘terrorism’, definitions of the concept of ‘terrorism’ by various authors.

Purpose of research: to develop a unified approach to understanding the essence of modern terrorism from a legal point of view.

Methods and objects of research: the article uses such general scientific methods of research as: generalisation, analysis and synthesis, comparison, concretization.

Main results of research. Terrorism is a public socially dangerous activity that infringes on public or (and) national security and consists in intimidation of the population, provocation of military conflict, international complication by any means provided for by the norms of national or (and) international legislation, and aims to influence the decision-making of an international organisation, public authorities and their officials, other organisations performing public functions, or the attraction of public officials, or the involvement of international organisations, public authorities and their officials.

The high scientific significance of the identified problem is mediated by the fact that Russian criminological and criminal legal sciences have not yet created their own fundamental strategy for preventing recidivism – a coherent and orderly system of theoretical knowledge about it, measures to control and counter this dangerous social phenomenon.

Subject of research: the norms of domestic legislation regulating the special criminological prevention of recidivism; scientific developments, statistical material on the research topic.

Purpose of research: formulate proposals for improving and increasing the effectiveness of measures specifically criminological prevention of recidivism, as well as filling the missing criminological knowledge about the prevention of this phenomenon.

Methods of research: the article uses both general scientific methodological tools and private scientific methodological tools. The methodological basis of the study will be a systematic approach, within which a set of general principles and methods of scientific knowledge is used.

Main results of research: the system of measures to combat recidivism was comprehensively analyzed, and an expansion of the scope of application of the existing punishment system was proposed. A person who finds himself in isolation undergoes certain changes, previously established social ties are disrupted, and upon release, serious problems often arise with adaptation to life. It is necessary to improve the domestic punishment system, but there is no need to radically change it, since the individualization of punishment has much more opportunities to be realized with the existing palette of punishments.

Subject of research: improving the reliability and quality of power supply of decentralized power systems.

Purpose of research: analysis of modern technologies for storing electrical energy to improve the efficiency of decentralized power supply systems to consumers.

Methods and objects of research: review and synthesis of implemented models and methods of energy storage.

Main results of research: recommendations are presented for the use of electrical energy storage devices to improve the efficiency of decentralized power supply systems for household and industrial consumers.

The paper presents a simulation model of an electric power supply system with a nonlinear load operating in a non-stationary mode. To analyze the non-sinusoidal mode, the use of a batch wavelet transform is proposed. The wavelet transform has a number of advantages, which can be used to implement electricity quality indicators into a monitoring system.

Subject of research: power quality indices.

Purpose of research: proof of the advantage of the wavelet transform in the analysis of non-sinusoidal non-stationary modes.

Object of research: a power supply system with a voltage of up to 1 kV with non-linear loads that distort the quality of electricity.

Methods of research: analysis, computer modelling.

Main results of research: еhe prospects of using the wavelet transform for the organization of a system for monitoring electricity quality indicators have been proved; the absence of the spectrum spreading effect is shown.

Subject of research: the activities of health care institutions of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug (KhMAO – Yugra) in providing medical services to the population in the period from 2013 to 2021.

Purpose of research: analysis of the dynamics of the medical efficiency of the functioning of health care institutions (HCI) of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra using the Malmquist index together with the data envelopment analysis (DEA method).

Methods and objects of research: the medical efficiency of these institutions was assessed using the DEA method. Multiplicative decomposition of the Malmquist index assesses the level of influence on the medical efficiency of technological changes in the subject area, the work of HCI management and changes in their scale.

Main results of research: it has been established that changes in patient treatment technologies have the greatest impact on the dynamics of the medical efficiency of HCI. The scale of HCI and the efficiency of their management are not so critical, which is due to the specifics of the territorial organization of the healthcare system. The use of the Malmquist index allows us to evaluate both the medical effectiveness of health care institutions and to identify carriers of “best practices” in terms of the implementation of medical technologies and the management of health care institutions.

Subject of research: calculations on discrete mathematical structures.

Purpose of research: to develop an algorithm for optimizing the distribution of types of maintenance of communications and automation in the departments of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation.

Methods and objects of research: the article considers the possibility of improving the planning of maintenance measures for communications and automation equipment used in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation in solving tasks assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. It is noted that in modern conditions, careful planning of all operations and activities carried out by technical specialists in the departments of internal affairs bodies is necessary. It is indicated that due to the employment or shortage of technical personnel, events may occur related to poor-quality implementation of technical support measures. It is proposed to use the average absolute error (MAE) as a criterion for the uniformity of distribution, taking into account both positive and negative deviations in the duration of maintenance by month during the calendar year.

Main results of research: an algorithm for the uniform distribution of types of maintenance has been developed, the possibility of its application in the departments of internal affairs bodies has been shown are presented using the example of the equipment of the situation center of the Voronezh Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the limitations of the application of the developed algorithm have been determined.
