The purpose of the presented work is to develop an automation system for synthesizing models of automatic recognition of different animal species in photo and video images. The paper presents a system for recognizing and counting two large vertebrate species - reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) and white-cheeked goose (Branta bernicla) on aerial images. The AutoGenNet recognition system is based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) of Mask R-CNN architecture using the concept of automatic machine learning (AutoML). The created system is able to automate a number of stages of model creation for recognizing objects in images. In particular, the presented system utilizes transfer learning. This approach significantly reduces the amount of training data required. The CNN model is synthesized automatically based on the images marked up by AutoGenNet system. To learn the Mask R-CNN model and to test the recognition accuracy, we used the images of reindeer herds obtained during aerial surveys in Taimyr and the images of brant goose flocks taken in different regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. On average, the trained software correctly recognised 82% of reindeer on the test array. Correctly recognizable brant geese accounted for 65% across the entire data set tested. Considering that this model of different animal species recognition was created automatically, with minimal involvement of machine learning specialists, this result indicates the successful application of the AutoML approach.

The structure of the mining environmental economic system, where the key role is played by a coal mining enterprise or a set of enterprises, combined, among other things, with a coal-processing infrastructure, is studied in the article. Known approaches to the definition and the features of assessing the regional environmental economic security of a coal mining enterprise are analyzed. The structure of environmental economic security management of an industrial enterprise operating in an industrialized region is considered and a method for achieving the required level of environmental economic security, expressed in the form of a cost estimate of this process, is proposed. The work performed is of practical importance for environmental surveillance of various levels and large industrial enterprises, especially those related to coal mining and processing, in order to predict the required level of environmental economic security.

This article deals with the problem of studying the ecological consciousness of students at the stage of the growing pandemic. The authors analyze the main theoretical approaches to the structural organization of eco-consciousness in foreign and domestic psychology. The need for the formation of public eco-consciousness and environmentally oriented values among the modern youth is substantiated. An empirical study of the eco-consciousness structure of students with different degrees of involvement in natural objects, processes and phenomena in an unstable epidemiological situation is presented. High indicators of anthropocentric and archaic types of eco-consciousness are revealed. The attained results can be used by university teachers and practical psychologists to create psychological and pedagogical means of organizing the professional and educational environment at University. It will allow to manage the process of developing the environmental competence of students of different specialties.

Current processes of environmental law enforcement require the use of innovative approaches to the problem of environmental management. In this regard, an adequate choice of the environmental performance indicators of an enterprise and the technique for their analysis, aimed at developing efficient, environmentally friendly management decisions, is of great importance. The technique for calculating the environmental and eco-economic performance indicators of a coal mining enterprise, including using the weighted average hazard class of pollutants or production and consumption waste is discussed in the article. Various options for the application of this approach, which is of practical importance for reducing the labor intensity of management decision-making by industrial enterprises, are considered.

Coal mining enterprise is a high-tech complex with a significant negative impact on water resources in the form of wastewater discharge. To improving the environmental safety of enterprises having a negative impact on the aquatic ecosystem, it is necessary to detail its features in order to increase the efficiency of environmental management. The article analyzes known approaches to the definition and features of formation of systems of assessing the negative impact on water resources. On the basis of synthesis of theoretical developments of domestic and foreign researchers` study and analysis the actual data of an industrial enterprise authors researched its negative impact on water resources to form a program of effective water protection measures. This researching has practical importance for large industrial enterprises that have a negative impact on water resources for effective environmental management decision-making.

The coal mining enterprise is a high-tech complex, which at the same time exerts all kinds of negative impact on the environment (emissions of pollutants into the air, wastewater discharges, production and consumer waste disposal). To improve environmental safety, it is necessary to study the local environmental and economic system and its main elements in order to improve managerial efficiency. The known approaches to the definition and the features of local environmental and economic system functioning are analyzed in the article. The directions for improving the efficiency of local eco-economic “industrial enterprise-environment” system management were developed on the basis of the synthesis of the study of theoretical developments of domestic and foreign researchers and the analysis of factual data. The work done is of practical importance for large industrial enterprises that exerts a diversified negative impact on the environment for preparing to the efficient sustainable managerial decisionmaking.

The article reviews the issues of environmental and economic efficiency of the comprehensive technology of removing sulphur and nitrogen oxides and mercury from flue gases. The purpose of the study is to justify the choice of the methods for the analysis of environmental and economic effectiveness of the designed air protection activities and to perform a number of calculations. The article analyses main processing methods for reducing the concentration of sulfur and nitrogen oxides in the flue gases from the combustion of coal fuels, thus generating maximum ecological and economic benefits. The main result of the work is development of the adapted system of technical, environmental and economic indicators characterizing the high efficiency of the proposed technical solutions. The results of the study can be recommended to heating enterprises in support of effective environment-friendly management decisions justifying implementation of appropriate flue gas cleaning technologies.

The issues of showing relations between environmental and economic indicators (further - environmental and economic interactions) of coke and by-product process are considered in the article. The purpose of the study is to reveal the regularities of the functioning of the local environmental and economic system on the basis of revealed spectrum of environmental and economic interactions. A simplified scheme of the environmental and economic system “coke and by-product process - the environment” was developed. The forms of the investigated environmental-economic interactions were visualized and the selective interpretation of the tightness of the established connection was made. The main result of the work is modeling system of environmental and economic interactions that allows increasing the efficiency of local ecological and economic system management and optimizing the “interests” of an industrial enterprise - the source of negative impact on the environment. The results of the survey can be recommended to government authorities and industrial enterprises with a wide range of negative impact forms to support the adoption of effective management decisions aimed at sustainable environmental and economic development of the region or individual municipalities.
