The article applies clustering by the k-means method to search for similar objects in the development of oil fields and design documentation. The study is based on the analysis of data from 1490 objects from various regions of Russia, taking into account both static and dynamic parameters, including the number of revisions of design and technical documentation. This approach allows evaluating the characteristics of objects at the stages of revising design documentation and developing efficiency. The identified rules can serve to optimize the management processes of design documentation, which, in turn, contributes to increasing the economic efficiency of development. Research is aimed to deepen the understanding of the relationship between objects and the termination of revision of design and technical documentation, which is of critical importance in the design and management of hydrocarbon development facilities.

In the context of a rapidly changing reality undergoing digital transformation, the issues of ensuring the security of economic activity are becoming particularly relevant. In this study, the author examines modern approaches to understanding the essence of the security of the digital economy, identifies the specifics of scientific views on this phenomenon, and draws attention to some areas that have not yet received in-depth scientific study. As a result of the work carried out, the author’s matrix of economic security of the state in the context of digital transformation is formulated, the use of which is proposed as a component of practical activities to ensure stability and progressive dynamic development of the economic sphere based on tactical and strategic planning.

The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in business management based on a comparison of foresight session data and expert survey results. The study was conducted against the backdrop of rapid transformation of market conditions and increased global competition, where companies are increasingly seeking to integrate AI technologies into their activities to optimize management processes and improve decision-making mechanisms. Particular attention in the article is paid not only to the potential of AI in improving the efficiency of business processes, but also to the ethical, legal and social issues that arise. The methodological basis of the study includes the analysis and synthesis of data obtained during the Foresight session held at the Southern Federal University and survey data, which involved more than 300 experts from different regions and industries. The research emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach that takes into account both the technical aspects of AI and the human factor. Its results show that, despite the significant prospects for using AI in entrepreneurship, there are serious obstacles to this process, particularly the lack of qualified specialists, high costs of implementing and supporting technologies, as well as the lack of a clear regulatory framework. The authors offer recommendations for businesses on the integration of AI, including the development of educational programs, optimization of project financing and compliance with ethical standards. This study contributes to the understanding of both the current state and future prospects for using AI in business management and also contributes to the development of strategies to overcome existing and future problems.

Hyperlocal marketing is an innovative approach that helps companies optimise offline sales, especially when traditional strategies reach their limits. It allows offers to be tailored to specific locations and customer needs, significantly increasing the effectiveness of customer engagement. This article examines how legislation in some countries and macro-regions can help or hinder the development of hyperlocal marketing by regulating the collection and use of personal data.

In the article, the theoretical and methodological problems of reflecting accounting information on the activities of integrated corporate structures are discussed. The current state of the consolidated financial statements and the consolidated accounting is considered. The current problem of conducting non-equity consolidation of the financial statements of parent and subsidiary companies has been studied. The methodological problem of compiling combined financial statements is analyzed. The article highlighted two approaches to the preparation of consolidated financial statements. As a result, a matrix of theoretically possible accounting methods for integrated corporate structures was proposed.

The article considers two main epistemic attitudes - knowledge and understanding, variants of their correlation and dynamics of the respective ideas in contemporary epistemology and philosophy of science. It is shown that the shift of interest towards understanding has largely occurred due to dissatisfaction with the classical three-part definition of knowledge and the need to respond to Gettier-type situations. The gap between knowledge and understanding, i.e. the so-called possibility of “knowledge without understanding”, is considered separately. The distinctive characteristics and features of understanding in cognitive activity are specified. The dangers and possible social consequences of the gap between knowledge and understanding are explicated,

The article considers the thesis of incompleteness of mathematical objects, from which the criterion of intrinsic properties is explicated. Two justifications of the criterion of intrinsic properties are reconstructed; the necessity and sufficiency of this criterion as an independent metaphysical criterion of objecthood are analyzed. It is shown that both justifications are vulnerable to criticism. The following objections are raised: firstly, objects can have criteria of identity without having intrinsic properties; secondly, not all mathematical objects lack intrinsic determinacy; thirdly, an independent existence and intrinsic properties do not necessarily imply each other. The conclusion is made that the criterion of intrinsic properties in itself can be considered neither a necessary nor a sufficient criterion of objecthood.,

There is a widely known statement of Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner that the invariant character of laws in modern physics is a hypothetical cause of the effective application of mathematics in this field of knowledge. He believed that the adequacy of contemporary mathematics for describing physical knowledge has the status of an empirical law of epistemology. In this article, by analyzing works in the field of artificial intelligence, the author confirmed Wigner’s hypothesis. As an example, the works of Pearl, one of the founders of the theory of artificial intelligence, are mentioned, which demonstrate the effective application of mathematics to the study of invariant regularities in computer science described using causal relationships.,

The purpose of the paper is to reveal Bohm’s ideas, primarily his notions of holism and implicit order, and to relate these philosophical views to the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics, or the de Broglie-Bohm theory. The key principles of the causal interpretation, or the theory of hidden variables, or the pilot wave theory, are compared with the principles of the Copenhagen interpretation which is historically the first and one of the most widespread interpretations of quantum mechanics. The Copenhagen interpretation and the de Broglie-Bohm theory are based on different methodological approaches, which provide different interpretations of the same physical phenomena. The phenomenological principles of the Copenhagen interpretation, which do not separate the “event” from the observation, differ from Bohm’s approach, realistic in both ontological and epistemological terms. The concept of non-locality serves as the scientific basis for Bohm’s holistic metaphysics. Reality is a whole, but a constantly changing whole, in which implicit processes become explicit, and relatively autonomous and self-sufficient aspects that make up particles and fields separate from the whole.,

The article provides a philosophical and methodological analysis of the concept of historical natural science by the American researcher C. Cleland. In her view, natural historical hypotheses, i.e. hypotheses about the past of nature, can be empirically proven or refuted, but the character of such empirical evidence differs significantly from repeated experimental verifications or falsifications. To clarify her position, Cleland uses the notion of “asymmetry of overdetermination”. The metaphysical meaning of the “asymmetry of overdetermination” in the discussed concept is that events in nature develop from one “root” towards constant branching. In turn, the epistemological meaning of this notion is expressed in the fact that, relying on metaphysical ideas about the temporal asymmetry of nature, natural historians should search for a common cause of events through finding “strong evidence” left behind - “smoking guns”, i.e. evidence that will allow a clear choice to be made between competing hypotheses
