Human interaction with computers and other machines is becoming an increasingly important and relevant topic in the modern world. Hand gesture recognition technology is an innovative approach to managing computers and electronic devices that allows users to interact with technology through gestures and hand movements. This article presents deep learning methods that allow you to efficiently process and classify hand gestures and hand gesture recognition technologies for interacting with computers. This paper discusses modern deep learning methods such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and recurrent neural networks (RNN), which show excellent results in gesture recognition tasks. Next, the development and implementation of a human-machine interaction system based on hand gesture recognition is discussed. System architectures are described, as well as technical and practical aspects of their application. In conclusion, the article summarizes the research results and outlines the prospects for the development of hand gesture recognition technology to improve human-machine interaction. The advantages and limitations of the technology are analyzed, as well as possible areas of its application in the future.

The article presents a technique for studying space images based on the analysis of the spectral brightness coefficient (SBC) of space images of the earth's surface. Recognition of plant species, soils, and territories using satellite images is an applied task that allows to implement many processes in agriculture and automate the activities of farmers and large farms. The main tool for analyzing satellite imagery data is the clustering of data that uniquely identifies the desired objects and changes associated with various reasons. Based on the data obtained in the course of experiments on obtaining numerical SBC values, the patterns of behavior of the processes of reflection of vegetation, factors that impede the normal growth of plants, and the proposed clustering of the spectral ranges of wave propagation, which can be used to determine the type of objects under consideration, are revealed. Recognition of these causes through the analysis of SBC satellite images will create an information system for monitoring the state of plants and events to eliminate negative causes. SBC data is divided into non-overlapping ranges, i.e. they form clusters reflecting the normal development of plant species and deviations associated with negative causes. If there are deviations, then there is an algorithm that determines the cause of the deviation and proposes an action plan to eliminate the defect. It should be noted that the distribution of the brightness spectra depends on the climatic and geographical conditions of the plant species and is unique for each region. This study refers to the Akmola region, where grain crops are grown

Modern cybersecurity challenges span multiple layers, from human behavior and identity management to network communication and device security. This paper proposes a unified multi-layered security framework that integrates human-centric, identity-centric, and communication-centric defenses into a coherent architecture. Drawing on insights from diverse domains (industrial control systems, IoT, healthcare, blockchain, and quantum communications), we identify common defense-in-depth principles and interdependencies across layers. The study highlights the persistent gaps in current research, which often focuses on isolated layers or domain-specific models, and addresses these gaps by synthesizing a cross-domain framework. We develop a mixed-method methodology to compare and integrate multi-layer security mechanisms, and we implement a proof-of-concept risk assessment engine to evaluate the framework’s effectiveness. Preliminary results from this implementation demonstrate that combining layers yields significantly improved detection performance and resilience compared to single-layer baselines. The framework’s contributions include a comprehensive literature-driven model, an operational validation in a simulated environment, and guidelines for deploying multi-layer defenses in complex, interconnected infrastructures. Empirical findings confirm that an integrated multi-layer approach can adapt to varied threat scenarios and reduce vulnerabilities, underscoring the value of coordinated controls across technical and human factors. The proposed framework lays a foundation for future work on scalable, cross-layer cybersecurity architectures that better protect contemporary cyber–physical systems.

This paper explores the feasibility of early-season crop classification based on Sentinel-2-time series using the TimeSen2Crop dataset (≈1 million pixels, 16 crops). The aim of the study was to evaluate the spectral-phenological separability of crops during the season and compare the performance of classical tabular algorithms, deep sequence models, and a seasonally oriented hybrid stacking scheme. Based on multispectral observations, a feature set was formed from 9 optical channels and 13 vegetation indices for 30 dates. F-criteria were calculated, confirming a sharp increase in interclass separability during the active vegetative growth phase and substantiating three time series truncation scenarios (early, early + mid-season, and full season). Random Forest (macro-F1: 0.46/0.74/0.75) was used as the base tabular model. LSTM, BiLSTM, GRU, 1D-CNN, and Transformer were trained in parallel, with Transformer showing the best results among the deep architectures (0.42/0.68/0.78). The main contribution of the work is a hybrid multi-layer stacking scheme combining heterogeneous base algorithms and OOF meta-features, which provides the highest quality (0.51/0.83/0.86) in all scenarios. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness of phenology-oriented selection of time windows, informative indices, and hybrid ensemble learning for improving the accuracy of early-season crop monitoring.

Content Management Systems (CMS) have fundamentally transformed the digital landscape, powering a substantial majority of the modern web. However, the ubiquity of platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal has made them primary targets for cybercriminals. The central security weakness lies not within the core software but within the complex ecosystem of third-party extensions and themes, which account for the vast majority of reported vulnerabilities. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the current CMS security landscape, synthesizing empirical data on the prevalence of outdated components and the efficacy of existing scanning tools. Based on a critical review of recent literature and an analysis of common attack vectors, the study identifies the fundamental limitations of traditional, reactive security paradigms that rely on signature-based detection. To address the critical gap in detecting zero-day threats, this research proposes and implements a proactive vulnerability detection system—SentinelCMS—combining static Taint Analysis with a Bidirectional LSTM neural network classifier. The system was validated on an augmented dataset of 600 PHP code samples using 5-fold cross-validation. An experimental proof of concept validates that static analysis of plugin source code can extract semantic features to accurately classify vulnerabilities into specific categories (SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting, Remote Code Execution) with an overall accuracy of 93%. The implementation of this system aims to shift the cybersecurity paradigm from incident response to threat prevention, thereby significantly enhancing the resilience of web resources.
