Entropy has been widely referred to as a measure of biological order. The validity of this notion is discussed in conjunction with its relation to the spontaneous creation of order. Information theory offers a quantitative method for characterization of order, however, it is not fundamentally connected to formalisms of irreversible thermodynamics, and it is severely limited because the meaning and value of the information is neglected (Smith, 1975). The paper presents an entropy approach to quantitative de-scription of living matter development as a process of gathering information. The presentation is accom-panied by a thorough analysis of related themes of (Pashchenko, 2001, 2007) relating to the notion of entropy and some attempts of its generalizations.

Problems of the stochastic system identification are analyzed, which are concerned with application of non-linear measures of dependence of random values and processes. Approaches are considered using a consistent in the A.N. Kolmogorov sense measure of dependence based on quadratic Tsallis mutual information. A constructive procedure of deriving a linear input/output model is proposed, which is a statistical equivalent of a non-linear multi-input/multi-output dynamic stochastic system driven by a Gaussian white-noise process. A keystone of such a procedure is the statistical linearization criterion that is the condition of the component-wise coincidence of quadratic Tsallis mutual information of the system input and output processes, from one hand side, and the input and output processes of the linearized model, from another hand side. This approach enables one to obtain explicit analytical expressions determining coefficients of the weight matrix of the linearized model. Meanwhile, the technique proposed is distribution free and does not require applying restricting assumptions on an explicit analytical form of the joint probability distribution of the system input and output processes, which may degenerate the substantial problem statement at all.

Проведена оценка изменения качества жизни у 235 беременных женщин с помощбю опросника EQ-5D. Результаты анализа проведенного опроса не выявили изменения физической активности. Одновременно наблюдали увеличение доли женщин с изменениями психоэмоциональной сферы. Рассматриваются и предлагаются варианты улучшения психоэмоционального состояния беременных с целью повышения качества жизни.

The paper proposes an approach to activate students’ graduate experience and motivate their cognition abilities in the corresponding field of science in order of preparing to independent research activity. Such activation and motivation are proposed to be implemented via special assignments on analysis of “real”, what means actually published, scientific results in order to find delusions, errors, etc. therein. The pre-sent paper demonstrates ways and methods, both simulation and analytical, to be applied to analyze delusions concerned with various attempts of generalization of conventional techniques and notions relating to such a branch of the control theory as the system identification. The paper presents methods and formulates corresponding assignments to reveal the delusions concerned with information theoretic approaches: application of the mutual (Shannon) information and attempts of generalization of the notion of entropy.
