MONITORING AND BLOCKING BIOLOGICAL THREATS WHILE ENSURING THE SECURITY OF EDUCATIONAL AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS
The article deals with the so-called environmental risks that are caused by the appearance of new types of biological threats due to various activities of the population. In this regard, the authors present the concept of security of educational and scientific institutions, taking into account the range of the above-mentioned new threats and challenges of our time, which are manifested in the form of new types of non-military, latent dangers. The purpose of this study was to develop conditions for reliable blocking of biological threats in educational and scientific institutions on the example of an elementary model of moving a biological threat. The main research methods, in turn, were analytical and modeling methods. The system of biological protection of educational and scientific institutions is considered as an open organizational system that depends on external conditions. As the initial data, a conditional situation is accepted, in which the focus of coronavirus infection is located near the city C at the airport. Educational and scientific institutions are located in the city of N. the Distance from the center of infection to the city of N is 34 kilometers. The speed of movement of a biological threat carrier can be in the range of 5 to 80 kilometers per hour (pedestrian, Bicycle, auto, and motor transport) in traffic jams and in the absence of such on the highway under consideration. The results of model calculations showed that the higher the value, the higher the «margin of safety» in the fact of timely decision-making to stop the focus. Negative values represent an alarming variant, in which the biological threat overcomes the protective barrier designated by the management of an educational and scientific institution. The developed conditions for reliable blocking of biological threats in educational scientific institutions allow us to determine the controlled parameters of the security model. It is obvious that reducing the speed of movement of a potentially infected object, as well as reducing the time for rapid detection and response, will reduce the probability of penetration of a biological threat to the objects of educational and scientific institutions.
