  The results of a systematic analysis of the effectiveness of voluntary certification systems (VCS) of agro-industrial enterprises in developing countries, carried out within the framework of evidence-based methodology, are considered. It summarizes the results of 43 quantitative and 136 qualitative studies on the impact of certification on the most important socio-economic factors, such as product prices, farm income, and standard of living. The authors of the article revealed that there is uncertainty in assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of using the voluntary certification tool in Russian practice. In this regard, they consider it advisable to develop adequate criteria in the country to correctly assess the benefits associated with certification.

  The description of the main scenario conditions for the development of weapons and the corresponding production base is given. A conceptual model of the impact of scientific, technical and technological achievements on the development of industrial production of defense products is proposed. The content of its main stages is revealed. To date, conceptual models have been developed that relate to various areas of human activity, including defense. The production of high-tech defense products is precisely the final stage of the conceptual model of the impact of scientific and technological achievements on its development. The proposed conceptual model can be used in shaping the activities of the state program of the Russian Federation Development of the military-industrial complex, as well as in planning the production of defense products for the future.

  We have described the main problems in the production of a specific medicinal product at one of the leading pharmaceutical enterprises in the Russian Federation. Using the model for describing the business processes of the As is organization, the process of production and validation of medicinal products (MP) was detailed. Based on the developed schemes and surveys of the main stakeholders (owner, performers) of the processes, nine key problems in the production process of a specific MP were identified. They lead to product defects. Also, to determine the root causes of production problems, all identified problems were analyzed using the Lean production tool 5 whys. As the analysis showed, the reasons for the defects were very different from the original version and were caused by other factors. In this way, the most common causes of all key problems in the production process of a specific MP were identified. The identified problems were ranked, followed by the development of corrective measures to eliminate them.

  Transport services connect all sectors of the country’s economy. The main task of transportation services is to meet the requirements of passengers and shippers in accordance with established requirements and standards. In this regard, it is necessary to study customer requests, accurately formulate and professionally implement marketing strategies for customer transportation services. The use of artificial intelligence in the organization of the transportation process creates conditions for improving the efficiency and quality of transport services. Of particular relevance is the concept of a Smart city, with a multidimensional urban transport system integrated into this concept, which is aimed at solving urban problems related to the transport sector.

  The possibilities of increasing the reliability of the control results of products with nominal values of controlled parameters and their permissible deviations are considered. The Monte Carlo method (digital modeling) was proposed to substantiate the requirements for the accuracy of parameter measurement, as well as to determine control tolerances for parameters. The influence of measurement uncertainty and control tolerances on control reliability indicators is considered. The Monte Carlo method is used to calculate the risks of the customer and the manufacturer under multiparametric control. The influence on these risks and the probability of error of 2nd types of uncertainty in the measurement of parameters and the introduction of control tolerances has been investigated.

  Measuring gas humidity in units of the moisture volume fraction is crucial in a wide range of scientific, industrial, and environmental applications. The moisture volume fraction provides an accurate and quantitative measurement of the moisture content in the gas. In the article we have analyzed the uncertainty assessment of the moisture volume fraction unit, reproducing the values measured in pressure and temperature units at a point using the one-pressure (1-P) and one-temperature (1-T) method. The values of dew point temperature sensitivity coefficients are proposed and equations for determining the sensitivity coefficients are disclosed. The effect of atmospheric pressure in the range from 84 kPa to 106 kPa on moisture volume fractions determined under normal atmospheric conditions is investigated. Calibrated using a barometer and a dew point hygrometer.

  In modern economic conditions caused by sanctions and changes in world trade, the problem of import substitution of testing equipment is becoming more and more urgent. Admittedly, domestic enterprises still do not fully ensure import substitution of testing equipment. A comparative analysis of priority testing equipment suppliers before and after the sanctions was conducted. This analysis showed that the imposed restrictions contribute to the development of domestic testing equipment production and the expansion of potential importers from other countries. To select the most competent new suppliers, a mathematical model was implemented, which will allow for the evaluation of supplier reliability for testing equipment, taking into account a comprehensive assessment of multiple key criteria.

  In light of the ever-increasing interest in traveling in Russia, special attention is now being focused on improving the quality of services provided by accommodation enterprises. Recently, the regulation of the hotel business in Russia has undergone many significant adjustments within the framework of the regulatory framework. The article we have analyzed the trends in the classification of accommodation enterprises in accordance with the amendments to the current Regulation on the hotels’ classification. There is a certain tendency to increase the requirements for hotels in terms of the classification process and reduce the responsibility of accredited organizations that carry out this procedure. This fact, we think, will lead to a situation where the quality of hotel service may deteriorate, and, in turn, may lead to a weakening of the confidence of both domestic and foreign tourists in the hotel business in Russia.

  Wind tunnel software development is a rapidly evolving field. The main prospects for development are (a) improving the algorithm for executing the program; (b) improving the user interface. We have discussed the development of a prototype software that automates the testing of a wind tunnel setup and the processing of the obtained data for a reference air flow with a known velocity. The improvements to the algorithm include the possibility of using the software not only for wind tunnels of low and high subsonic speeds, but also for supersonic ones, which is a difficult task for a researcher. Improvements to the user interface include the creation of a full-fledged application that will allow for greater convenience in controlling the system without having to access the program code directly. Specific improvements will depend on the specific test objectives.
