The purpose of the article is to substantiate the fiscal role of the excise tax by studying its information and functional potential and to model the dynamics of its payment by the brewing industry. Excise tax occupies a special place in a tax system of each state because, in addition to significant fiscal importance, it has a considerable regulatory impact on the production and consumption of certain categories of goods. Based on information systems in the article analyses and monitors the indicators of the excise tax payments on goods produced in Ukraine on the example of a particular enterprise in the brewing industry. By means of the initial data analysis of autocorrelation functions of volumes’ indicators of the accrued excise taxes on beer the expediency of modelling realization of such indicator dynamics on the basis of ARIMA model is proved. The analytical and statistical approaches to the formation of models for the implementation of forecast for the calculation of excise tax on beer of brewing industry enterprises are improved. The proposed approach is based on the values of autocorrelation of balances and partial autocorrelation, as well as methods of analysis of time series with gaps, which allows to use it in the economic activity of enterprises to make forecasts for the calculation and payment of the excise tax. This will produce financial effects for the brewing industry in terms of cost optimization and minimization of the excise tax risks.

Finding a brain tumor yourself by a human in this day and age by looking through a large quantity of magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) images is a procedure that is both exceedingly time consuming and prone to error. It may prevent the patient from receiving the appropriate medical therapy. Again, due to the large number of image datasets involved, completing this work may take a significant amount of time. Because of the striking visual similarity that exists between normal tissue and the cells that comprise brain tumors, the process of segmenting tumour regions can be a challenging endeavor. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to have a system of automatic tumor detection that is extremely accurate. In this paper, we implement a system for automatically detecting and segmenting brain tumors in 2D MRI scans using a convolutional-neural-network (CNN), classical classifiers, and deep-learning (DL). In order to adequately train the algorithm, we have gathered a broad range of MRI pictures featuring a variety of tumour sizes, locations, forms, and image intensities. This research has been double-checked using the support-vector-machine (SVM) classifier and several different activation approaches (softmax, RMSProp, sigmoid). Since "Python" is a quick and efficient programming language, we use "TensorFlow" and "Keras" to develop our proposed solution. In the course of our work, CNN was able to achieve an accuracy of 99.83%, which is superior to the result that has been attained up until this point. Our CNN-based model will assist medical professionals in accurately detecting brain tumors in MRI scans, which will result in a significant rise in the rate at which patients are treated.

Enterprise Social Media (ESM) has been normally embraced by companies to boost team performance and agility for workers. The goal of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of workplace isolation on the relationships among usage ESM, employee agility and Team Performance along with exploration of the moderating influence of workplace Integrational study model. This research adds to corporate awareness in illustrating the impact of ESM use on team performance and employee agility based on theory of social exchange, theory of information processing and the theory of transactive memory. Cross-sectional survey was employed to collect data from telecommunication firms (public & private). 400 respondents were selected through purposive sampling technique and given close ended questionnaires, 348 questionnaires were selected for further analysis; through a number of statistical tools, after screening out the filled responses. It resulted in Suggesting ESM has a favorable effect on Employee Agility and Team Performance, but the negative relationships were observed among workplace isolation and employee agility and team performance. Further, Workplace Isolation mediated the relationship among ESM, Employee Agility and Team performance. Additionally, Workplace Integration strongly moderated the relationship between ESM and Workplace Isolation.  Experts and/or administrators should pay consideration to the impact of using ESM on agility and team performance of the workers. In addition, when implementing ESM to increase team performance they should concentrate on the extent of team diversity. By presenting the relationship between use of ESM, isolation in the workplace, workplace integration, agility of workers and performance of teams; it enriches the ESM use works by exploring the moderating functions of workplace integration while describing the beneficial consequences of workplace integration.

The paper focuses on the urgency of the implementation of cloud technologies, which are a necessary condition for the development of enterprise management systems, give rise to a complex of insufficiently studied phenomena and processes and determine the need to find new tools in making and implementing reasonable management decisions. In the process of research, the sequence of construction and the overall structure of the enterprise management system, based on the use of cloud technologies, are determined, which allowed to build a mathematical model for calculating the probability of making an error-free decision, evaluating the efficiency of decision-making, a model of making a management decision for a certain time with the parallel method of operation of elements of the enterprise management system.

The Internet of things has become an interesting area of research in the last few years due to its ability to make human life simple and easier. Quality of Services (QoS) has gained a lot of importance due to the increasing popularity of the technology. QoS metrics help the IoT users to understand and express their requirements for the selection of services provided by IoT. Researchers in this field have come up with different types of architectures to provide a better view and define all the functions of the technology. In this paper, we have defined a few of the architectures and QoS metrics related to these architectures.

The introduction of information technology in the structure of procedural legal relations contributes to the full implementation of the principles of procedural law and optimization of civil proceedings. The purpose of this study is to develop scientifically sound proposals and recommendations for the latest concept of optimization of civil justice by means of information technology. The study of the impact of information technology in civil proceedings was conducted on the basis of integrated use of general and special methods of scientific knowledge. The optimization of civil proceedings as a system of theoretical ideas and views on civil procedural activity from the standpoint of means, methods and techniques of its improvement is considered. The basic elements of the latest concept are the provisions of the general methodological basis for studying the problem of optimization, the concept and structural characteristics of optimization, civil jurisdiction in terms of optimization and ensuring the right to due process, optimization of procedures for preparation and trial of civil cases, cassation in the system of instance review of court decisions. It has proved that the search for a harmonious combination of protective and conciliatory functions of civil proceedings, as a characteristic concept of modern procedural systems, determines the main directions of optimizing the preparation of civil cases for trial. It has established that in the reform of the judiciary of Ukraine it is important not only to digitize existing processes. The most important thing is to change the approach to justice itself, making it simpler and more accessible to all with the help of information technology. In this sense, the introduction of affordable online court involves not only the introduction of innovative technologies, but also the revision and significant simplification of procedural rules.

Numerous face recognition systems employ deep learning techniques to identify individuals in public areas such as shopping malls, airports, and other high-security zones. However, adversarial attacks are susceptible to deep learning-based systems. The adversarial attacks are intentionally generated by the attacker to mislead the systems. These attacks are imperceptible to the human eye. In this paper, we proposed a feature-based masking iterative method (F-MIM) to generate the adversarial images. In this method, we utilize the features of the face to misclassify the models. The proposed approach is based on a black-box attack technique where the attacker does not have the information related to target models. In this black box attack strategy, the face landmark points are modified using the binary masking technique. In the proposed method, we have used the momentum iterative method to increase the transferability of existing attacks. The proposed method is generated using the ArcFace face recognition model that is trained on the Labeled Face in the Wild (LFW) dataset and evaluated the performance of different face recognition models namely ArcFace, MobileFace, MobileNet, CosFace and SphereFace under the dodging and impersonate attack. The F-MIM attack is outperformed in comparison to the existing attacks based on Attack Success Rate evaluation metrics and further improves the transferability.
