Currently, one of the main factors influencing the formation of architecture is the functional purpose of the building, since it determines the essence of the architectural object. The purpose of the scientific work is to study the influence of building functions on the historical architecture of Europe and their impact on the development of modern architecture. This article sets the objectives of studying the classification of functional purposes of buildings, conducting a retrospective analysis of the development and formation of architectural styles in Europe, based on world design experience and the conducted research to identify the influence of the building function on its planning and volumetric-spatial solutions in the process of architecture development. The research method is the analysis of the historical architecture of Europe from the time of the inception of architecture to the present day, carried out on the basis of world design experience in different eras. In the course of the study, four main trends in the development of the functions of modern architecture were identified: integration with nature, creation of adaptive spaces, multifunctionality and development of new functions. It is concluded that the building function played the most important role throughout the entire period of architecture formation, which led to the emergence of a huge variety of building types today and made a significant contribution to the development of architecture of the XXI century.

This paper considers the problem of task scheduling in manufacturing systems with multiple machines operating in parallel. Four approaches to solving this problem are proposed: pure Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), a hybrid MCDDQ agent combining reinforcement learning based on Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), an improved MCDDQ-SA agent integrating the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm to improve the quality of solutions, and a greedy algorithm (Greedy). A model of the environment is developed that takes into account machine speeds and task durations. A comparative study of the effectiveness of methods based on the makespan (maximum completion time) and idle time metrics is conducted. The results demonstrate that MCDDQ-SA provides the best balance between scheduling quality and computational efficiency due to adaptive exploration of the solution space. Analytical tools for evaluating the dynamics of the algorithms are presented, which emphasizes their applicability to real manufacturing systems. The paper offers new perspectives for the application of hybrid methods in resource management problems.

Introduction: Mobile Gaming Addiction (MGA) has emerged as a significant public health concern, with the World Health Organization recognizing it as a gaming disorder. Russia, with its growing mobile gaming market, is no exception. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to explore the feasibility of using neural networks for early MGA detection and intervention, with a focus on the Russian context. The primary objective is to develop and evaluate a neural network-based model for identifying behavioral patterns associated with MGA. Methods: A proof of concept study was conducted, employing a simplified neural network architecture and a dataset of 101 observations. The model's performance was evaluated using standard metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC score. Results: The study demonstrated the potential of neural networks in detecting MGA, achieving an F1-score of 0.75. However, the relatively low AUC-ROC score (0.58) highlights the need for addressing dataset limitations. Conclusion: This study contributes to the growing body of literature on MGA, emphasizing the importance of considering regional nuances and addressing dataset limitations. The findings suggest promising avenues for future research, including dataset expansion, advanced neural architectures, and region-specific mobile applications.

In territorial planning, the choice of industrial territories is crucial for the state. The advantageous location will allow for the creation of labor application points to ensure stable economic growth. Understanding and taking into account the parameters of the formation and further functioning of such territories always require an integrated approach, that is, taking into account both economic and social, spatial and environmental factors. When planning, the accessibility of transport infrastructure, the availability of raw materials, tax incentives and other economic incentives can be key when choosing a particular area for the location of industrial facilities on it. An integrated approach can become especially relevant not only when planning new undeveloped territories, but also when converting existing large production areas.

Steel hoisting ropes play an important role in metallurgical equipment, ensuring reliability and efficiency of lifting operations. One of the key features of their operation is the high level of contamination typical of metallurgical operations. Metallurgical processes are often accompanied by dust, metal chips and other abrasive particles that can significantly degrade ropes, causing wear and corrosion. To maintain the efficient operation of equipment it is necessary to monitor the condition of hoisting ropes in real time, which makes the task of improving automatic systems for monitoring the condition of ropes urgent. The paper reviews the methods of optical control of defects in hoisting steel ropes, the advantages and limitations of different approaches are considered. The aim of the work is to justify the effectiveness of the authors' developed method of analyzing rope defect images using neural networks in relation to the method based on the discrete Fourier transform. It is revealed that one of the most promising in terms of technical and economic efficiency of inspection methods is the application of vision system with image processing based on convolutional neural network technology, which allows to effectively detect defects in complex and changing operating conditions, such as metallurgical and mining production, where the background of the image may be non-uniform, and the distance between the camera and the rope varies.
