The experience of the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has shown the relevance and necessity of understanding the problems of moral and psychological support in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in modern conditions. The problem of constant misinformation of the population, the spread of propaganda and the implementation of destructive psychological influence in the interests of the enemy is very sensitive. The simplest tool for distribution misinformation is the Internet (its easy access and wide popularity). The goal of the article is to develop a methodology for monitoring negative psychological influences in online media. The basis of develop methodology is the build a mathematical model using a 4th order polynomial trendline. To determine the number of text messages that were simultaneously processed in statistical analysis, the Hurst exponent was applied. Indicators of negative psychological influences in text messages are selected. Statistical observation is carried out at the expense of a database with text messages from online media. The coefficients of the polynomial regression model are calculated using the least squares method for using a spreadsheet processor Microsoft Excel, or by solving a system of linear algebraic equations using Cramer's method. It has been proved that the developed mathematical model for monitoring negative psychological influences is adequate over the time interval under study. Due to the developed methodology for monitoring negative psychological influences in online media, it is possible to mathematically describe the process of the influence of text messages on a person. The mathematical model underlying the methodology can be used not only at the monitoring stage, but also at the stage of counteracting destructive psychological effects, as well as for the implementation of preventive measures to prevent the spread of such effects by taking into account the frequency and common ways of spreading negative psychological effects in text messages online media. It should be noted that the developed methodology can be used to automate online media monitoring in order to timely identify information threats to military command and control bodies and the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the context of ensuring the information security of the state.
The concept of an information system to provide the monitoring of space in order to increase military security is proposed with the accounted-for peculiarities of solving problems by the domestic structures of the security and defense sector. The concept is based on the separation of the functionality of open and specialized parts of the algorithm and software support for analyzing the space situation with the attainment of their compatibility. The results of the capability analysis of the publicly available software, which can be used for the evaluation of the space situation as an additional means, are presented. The functional model of the information system to provide the monitoring of space was developed, and a decomposition of its main functional block — a general assessment of the space situation has been carried out. The main software components of the algorithm and software support for the overall estimating of the space situation are determined: detection and monitoring of space objects, maintenance of the database of space objects, modeling and display of the space situation, and their main tasks are outlined. The structural scheme of the software and hardware complex of the general estimation of space situation is developed. Further ways of research are offered: concretization of the functionality of the components of the algorithms and software support of the general estimation of the space situation, substantiation and development of databases’ structures of space objects and objects of space activity, creation of the relevant software and hardware complexes and check of the adequacy of the used mathematical models, as well as issues of information security.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
