Artificial intelligence systems in law enforcement management
Resumo
This article deals with the integration of artificial intelligence systems into life activities of society. We analyze the various fields where artificial intelligence technologies are applied and assesses their potential and feasibility in supporting law enforcement activities. The article also reviews regulatory documents that govern, regulate, and promote the activities of companies and organizations involved in the development and implementation of artificial intelligence technologies. Furthermore, we discuss the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing decision-making processes, increasing efficiency, and improving productivity within law enforcement. One of the most promising areas for artificial intelligence application in combating and preventing crimes is video analytics. The article also examines sociological studies regarding the attitude of our country's citizens toward using artificial intelligence technologies in in different life sectors, including security. We highlight factors that may limit the adoption of these advanced technologies, such as concerns about potential errors and system failures that could disrupt society. Additionally, citizens expressed that they prefer humans to make final decisions, while artificial intelligence is seen as consultative powers. Overall, respondents generally support the use of artificial intelligence systems in security. They believe that decisions should be made for the benefit of society as a whole, not individual citizens, but under the condition that personal data and privacy rights are adequately protected.

Illegal labor migration as a threat to national security and the development of measures to overcome it
Resumo
This article offers a thorough analysis of illegal labour migration, which poses a significant threat to the national security of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the topic has increased due to the growing scale of migration flows in the context of globalization and their negative impact on the socio-economic and political stability of host countries. The aim of the study is to identify key aspects of the national security threats associated with illegal labor migration and to propose recommendations on how to resolve it. The study highlights significant contradictions in the approaches to this problem. On one hand, stricter migration policies and enhanced border controls are viewed as necessary measures. On the other hand, such approaches can lead to an increase in the criminalization of migration processes. Additionally, there are disagreements regarding the economic consequences of these policies. In conclusion, a number of priority measures are discussed, focusing on enhancing control over illegal labor migrants and aimed at improving Russian migration policy.

Corporate social responsibility in the context of supporting families with children or planning to have children
Resumo
This article explores corporate social responsibility in the context of supporting employees who have children or plan to have them. In light of the demographic crisis in Russia, particularly in Russia, particularly in the Omsk Oblast, this study examines the initiatives of large companies that have developed social support programs for family-oriented employees. The primary focus is on analyzing successful case studies aimed at increasing birth rates by creating conditions that allow employees to balance work and family life. The study reveals that, despite the economic incentives included in state policies, the main issue of the demographic crisis remains unresolved. The demographic situation is further exacerbated by economic problems, a declining number of reproductive women, and uncertainty in the labor market. For this reason, the article suggests engaging businesses in supporting families as a sustainable solution to increase birth rates and improve employees' quality of life. Modern labor market research confirms a shortage of young professionals, presenting employers with the challenge in retaining and motivating their personnel. The labor market competition index in various Russian regions remains low. Furthermore, the high migration rate of skilled workers from these areas aggravates the staff shortage, especially in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. The article provides examples of company programs from organizations such as "Norilsk Nickel", "Transneft" and "MMK". These programs include support measures like material assistance, favorable conditions for large families, and medical and educational services for employees' children. The study demonstrates that these measures, aimed at reinforcing family values, can increase employee loyalty and productivity. Recruitment agencies report that in Omsk the cost of adapting a new employee can exceed 90,000 rubles. Programs of major companies not only serve to motivate employees but also create stable conditions for families, thereby reducing turnover and stabilizing work teams. Thus, based on modern statistical data, this article confirms that implementing social support programs for employees with family responsibilities has a significant positive impact on both the demographic situation and various business performance indicators.

This technology is alternatives to medical methods for maintaining health, strengthening immunity, and preventing seasonal illnesses. This study aims to identify the motivational features of individuals who practice hardening and other forms of cold exposure taking into account their socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age, education level, occupation, and marital status). The research objectives include: identifying the conceptual foundations of the respondents' understanding of hardening technology; analyzing factors that motivate or demotivate individuals to participate in hardening procedures; determining the most popular types of hardening practices; developing effective strategies for promoting cold exposure techniques in Russia based on respondents' opinions.This study received support from the research and education center "Health Region" as a part of the "Scientific Campus. CryoHacking 2.0" project, which focuses on the human body's adaptation to low temperatures. The research methods are general sociological and theoretical. The empirical base was collected through an online survey targeting respondents from nine regions of the Russian Federation. Based on the results, we formulate key factors influencing the choice of this health-preserving technology, as well as factors that reduce motivation for hardening practices. The research highlights both the physiological and psychological effects of hardening, leading to the conclusion that integrating hardening procedures into the daily routines of the Russian population is beneficial. Additionally, the article identifys the preferred sources of information regarding hardening and cold exposure practices, based on the respondents' socio-demographic characteristics.With our sociological research findings, we developed recommendations for the development and popularization of winter swimming and hardening practices in Russia. These recommendations consider modern trends such as digitalization, the increasing use of interactive content, consumer interaction formats, the rise of storytelling technology, and the pursuit of alternative medical methods for health maintenance.Practical significance: The findings of this study will be of interest to organizations involved in hardening and winter swimming, medical institutions researching these practices, and businesses sponsoring events related to health-preserving techniques.

Development of domestic tourism in Russia: a regional aspect
Resumo
The emergence of a new strategic direction focused on large-scale domestic tourism development has prompted the search for innovative management tools aimed at promoting regional tourism, enhancing tourist attractiveness, and improving infrastructure. One of the fundamental aspects of this development is social. Rus sians' expectations regarding domestic tourism, along with their behavioral traits and preferences, are crucial for creating strategic models. These models cause the priorities for developing domestic tourism, which capitalize on each region's unique strengths to satisfy growing tourist demand. The government faces the dual challenge of not only creating comfortable conditions for tourism but also addressing the social stereotypes that influence Russians' attitudes toward regional tourism. Research on various types of regional tourist products indicates a demand for a comprehensive approach to create a region's tourist attractiveness. This approach seeks to engage tourists from diverse demographic and socio-economic backgrounds. The gradual enhancement of regional tourism potential fosters the emergence of new industry leaders who prioritize consumer needs and are capable of developing long-term forecasts to boost tourist flows. Research identified several key factors essential for the development of domestic tourism: unique tourist potential, the formation and promotion of a strong tourist brand, understanding the characteristics of the target consumer, and adapting infrastructure to meet its needs. The aim of this study is to analyze the tourism development system in the Tyumen region, define its objectives, and align them with the federal concept for domestic tourism development. The conclusions of the article define a set of characteristics that determine the unique aspects of tourism development in the Tyumen region.
