An analysis of the positive aspects and shortcomings in the development and implementation of communication strategies in the field of public administration is provided, as well as the requirements and factors that have a more significant impact on the content of communication processes in public administration are determined. The favorable perception of the public sphere was influenced not only by the information space formed by the Ukrainian mass media and officials, but also by the informational messages of Russian propaganda. The author provides suggestions for improving the communication strategy in the public sphere. It was established that when developing communication strategies, public authorities should ensure the reduction of uncertainty and the risk of failure when making strategic management decisions. It was determined that the essence of the interaction of public authorities with target audiences is to ensure an effective state policy and adaptation of state reforms to possible future changes in the external environment. Achieving these tasks is possible by: increasing citizens’ trust in state institutions and improving their image; raising citizens’ awareness of the processes taking place in state institutions; ensuring active participation of citizens in the processes of making management decisions and establishing feedback; establishing cooperation with national and international mass media, it is emphasized that this is impossible without improving the public sector, strengthening the presence of public institutions at the international level, optimizing internal communication and information exchange in public institutions.

Published: June 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of the formation and implementation of strategies for the sustainable development of territories based on project activities. It was determined that, by its very nature, project activity in public administration can be considered in two conventional planes: 1) as a documented complex of organizational-technical, socio-economic, material-resource and informational-communicative justification and planning of time-limited activities specially created for this purpose temporary organizational unit of the authority or local self-government to achieve a clearly set goal; 2) as the direct activity of such a unit as a part of a public governance body with a clear internal hierarchy and close interaction both within the project team and between the project group, the local council and the external community, the existence of which is limited to a defined time and ends from the moment of the final realization of the set goal of the project. It was determined that the design activity can be used for the implementation of any projects in all areas and directions of territorial development, solving the problem of attracting investments in local development and control both by state bodies and the public regarding the targeted use of funds, terms and costs for implementation of project ideas. In a strategic plan, the project activity provides an opportunity to direct the efforts of the relevant public authorities to solve the urgent problems of the future development of the united territorial community, region, and state in its key directions. It was established that the content and essence of aspects of project analysis are not always adequately understood, which leads to insufficient quality of substantiation of the social utility of projects, incomplete consideration of the risks of their implementation. It is proved that the issue of implementation of project management in local self-government bodies is relevant, where the real result of work is evaluated not only by higher authorities and controlling bodies, but also directly by residents of the territories. Keywords: project activity, strategy of sustainable development of territories, effectiveness of project activity, united territorial community, level of community readiness for project activity, financial capacity.

Published: June 2024

This systematic literature review investigates the impact of L1 and L2 glosses on EFL learners' incidental vocabulary learning via reading. The review aims to synthesize and analyze existing empirical research on the topic, identify the most effective glossing method, and highlight reasons why some glosses may be more effective. The review's research questions are: (1) How is incidental vocabulary operationalized in these studies? (2) Do L1 and L2 glosses differ in their effect on incidental vocabulary learning? and (3) Why do some learners benefit from one type (L1/L2) of gloss more than the other? The review follows a systematic methodology, involving a comprehensive search using SCOPUS databases, rigorous inclusion/exclusion criteria, and data extraction and synthesis methods. The results suggest that L1 and L2 glosses have a positive effect on EFL learners' incidental vocabulary learning through reading, but there is a lack of consensus on which language is more effective. The review highlights the lack of gloss studies among Arabs.

Online news Articles have made it easier to read news on the go. However, summaries allow people to easily understand the contents of news article quickly. Providing brief summary or an excerpt allows readers to know what to expect from the news articles. With the headline, it would be convenient for
the reader to read a brief about the article too. A summary is a type of text document that is produced by a much larger text or sometimes multiple texts,
that conveys important information in the original text in a much shorter form. The goal of automatic news summarization is to provide an excerpt from the
news article that covers the news article in fewer sentences and words. Languages such as Marathi don’t have resources such as automated summarization. Marathi news articles don’t come up with a summary. To generate a summary for news articles, we use a series of steps namely, Preprocessing and Processing Phase. Preprocessing phase represents Marathi text in a structured way.

The Tradition of Sun-worship in Ancient Assam a Northeastern State of India - An Outlook
Authors: - Mausumi Goswami
Published: June 2024

Amongst the brahmanical deities worshipped in ancient Assam, Surya or Sun occupies a very prominent position. In the Markandeya Purana (300A.D.-400 A.D.) we have found the earliest reference to the prevalence of Sun-worship in ancient Assam. The account of the Buddhist monk Arya Dhitika depicted in Taranatha’s History of Buddhism in India shows the popularity of Sun-worship in ancient Assam. Kalika Purana, one of the famous Upapuranas of about 1000-1100 A.D. refers to two distinct centers of Sun-worship of ancient Assam. The first one is Raviksetra which can legitimately be identified to the Sri Surya mountain, located about 12 km southeast of Goalpara town and about 136 km northeast of Guwahati and the second one is the Citrasaila hill which is a worshipping seat of nine Grahas, where Surya ( the chief of the Grahas) is also worshipped. This Citrasaila hill is lawfully identified as the Navagraha hill situated in the city of Guwahati, the capital of Assam. However, some archaeological findings of Assam, witness the prevalence of Sun-worship in ancient Assam. The aim of this paper is to throw light on the tradition of Sun-worship prevailed in ancient Assam from historical point of view.
Deux Nouvelles Formules Pour Calculer Les Annuités Constantes
Authors: - Par Kayeye Magala Georges
Published: June 2024

Business leaders turn to financial institutions for loans repayable with interest by creating businesses, diversing or intensifying their activities. Sometimes, due to the cumbersome procedures of these institutions, borrowers resort to loan sharks. Since most of them are not financiers, they calculate the simple interest they add to the capital lent and divide it by the repayment tranches to find the indentical payments they require as periodic repayments. This practice is somewhat similar to the method of repayment by constant annuities, but cannot be scientifically valid because it does not respect the principle of discounting. Indeed, the scientifically recognized method of constant annuities applied by financial institutions takes account of the principle of discounting. However, most loan applicants do not know how constant annuities are calculated, as the traditional formula used by financial institutions is not easy to master. The purpose of this paper is therefore to try to find a way to get around this difficulty by making available to users two new formulas or procedures that are easier than the classic formula so that with less effort, they are able to release the share of the capital to be repaid and that of the interest due and contained in each instalment, in other words, in each annuity.

Citizens expect the government to provide welfare and maintain the society's well-being, therefore public administration has grown increasingly essential in recent years. The need for competent public administration has been amplified in developing nations, particularly in Africa, in light of the various developmental problems. Public administrators are leaders. Leadership is not a new notion, but theorists, practitioners, politicians, and even wider society continue to study it because it is important and meaningful. Corrupt activities have the potential to put not only the state, but also the lives of millions of people who live there, in peril. When corruption becomes crucial for human growth, as it did during Nkrumah's presidency, it might be voluntary or coerced. Primary and secondary data sources were used in the research. The primary data sources were used to directly gather information about the subject matter from the respondents. Papers, journals, and reports were used as secondary data sources to add to the subject matter's expertise. Also, the research used both quantitative research and quantitative approach to gather relevant information as well as using the snowball sampling method to collect data. According to a research study, the following elements have been identified as causes of corruption: Money greed and desires, having to pay for services that one is not entitled to (bribery), stealing from resources meant for the common good (embezzlement), using one's position to favor relatives and friends (nepotism), and deceiving others in order to take advantage of them (i.e. fraud) are all conditions that contribute to corruption at the DVLA.

Authors: - Gunavedhaga.M.J , - Nivedhetha Rajendran , - Amstrong .A
Published: June 2024

Footprints are one of the valuable physical evidence left by criminals in crime scene. Footprints are transferred to the crime scene depending on the “Locard’s Exchange” principle. It denotes that ‘every contact leaves a trace’. Footprints are similar to fingerprints in their uniqueness. They both have individual characteristics, so that no two people will have similar footprint patterns. In the previous studies, height, weight, and sex were estimated based on the footprint measurements. There are various measuring methods used to identify it. So, there are no studies related to the comparison of both footprints of human beings. The aim of this study is to compare both human footprints and determine Gender if there are any similarities between those. For this quantitative research, the samples will be collected from people in between the age group of 20 to 25 years. Because in that age group, a person will attain their maximum growth, once they attain their 25th age, the person will not have any maximum changes in their footprints. This is just a pilot study, so a total of 100 samples will be collected from the targeted people. The hypothesis of this study person will have maximum similarities between both footprints. So, we can easily identify the person by matching one footprint with the other footprints of the same person and identify gender. These comparison techniques can be further use to investigate the crime scene to identify the individual.

Cyber Humans and Intellectual Property Laws in India: an Interface
Authors: - Suzanna Augustine George
Published: June 2024

Since the late 19th century, there has always been a fictitious portrait of robots and artificial intelligence penetrating the normal functioning of a human’s life. But in the late twentieth century, the imaginary characters were shaping into reality, where once an impossible reality was becoming an emerging reality at the present stage of earthly life. Robotics and artificial intelligence assist humans in their daily chores and perform tasks too complex to be understood by humans. With Sophia, a robot but now a human counterpart, having been granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia, new doors of frequent encounters and easy access to artificial intelligence are being considered the new endeavour by various huge giants and business enterprises primarily engaged in artificial intelligence. With progress at such a vast scale, humans share a typical habitat with robots and machines assisted through artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are creations made by humans for the advantage and development of humans. That certainly means that artificial intelligence and robots are products of human labour, novelty, and innovation. They could be categorized as inventions, and an invention is protectable under Intellectual Property Laws.

Protecting the invention and the rights of the inventor of such inventions with the present legal regime is a challenge. In today’s digital era, the question is whether India's laws are sufficient to accommodate invention and development in the new, evolving cyber world. The paper attempts to analyze the accountability of present laws in India for the development of innovation and technology, the rights of the inventor and the need for guarding the new era of Artificial Intelligence.
Problems and Challenges Faced by Beneficiaries of the Skill India Scheme in the Ayodhya District of Uttar Pradesh
Authors: - Asmita Mishra , - Dr. Sanghamitra Mohapatra , - Dr. Aarti Singh
Published: June 2024

The Skill India Scheme, launched by the Government of India, aims to improve employability by providing skill training to millions of youth. However, the implementation of this scheme in Ayodhya District, Uttar Pradesh, faces significant challenges. This study explores the problems encountered by beneficiaries in this region, focusing on accessibility, quality of training, and post-training employment opportunities. One primary issue is the limited reach of the training centers, which are often located far from rural areas, making it difficult for many potential beneficiaries to attend. Additionally, the quality of training varies significantly, with some centers lacking adequate infrastructure, skilled trainers, and updated curricula. This results in substandard skill acquisition, making trainees less competitive in the job market. Furthermore, the alignment of training programs with local industry needs is often inadequate, leading to a mismatch between the skills taught and the skills demanded by employers. This misalignment results in lower employment rates among trainees, undermining the scheme's ultimate goal of enhancing employability. Another significant challenge is the lack of awareness and information dissemination about the scheme, preventing many eligible individuals from participating. Moreover, socio-economic factors, including financial constraints and societal norms, particularly affect women, preventing them from enrolling in these programs. These challenges highlight the need for a more strategic approach, focusing on improving infrastructure, ensuring quality and relevance of training, enhancing outreach, and addressing socio-economic barriers to make the Skill India Scheme more effective and inclusive in Ayodhya District. Addressing these issues is crucial for realizing the full potential of the Skill India initiative in transforming the local workforce.

The increased population has led to an increase in the demand for goods which in turn has caused rapid industrialization. In turn the increase in industrial set-ups has led to the increased production of industrial wastes. These industrial wastes cause major environmental havoc by polluting the water, air and soil.
The following case study has been undertaken to bring forth the hazardous effects of improper industrial waste disposal around residential areas. For this, we have taken the TTC Industrial Area, Navi Mumbai as our prime location of study. This case study has been carried out by administering a questionnaire to the residents of the surrounding areas, taking under consideration the air quality index and testing the water sample acquired from the sewer located near the residential area of TTC Industrial Area, Navi Mumbai where industrial waste is directly disposed.
The objectives of this paper are to explore the impact of air and water pollution on human health. The study discusses the various parameters from the water sample of the sewer. We performed meta-analysis of environmental epidemiologic monitoring data for residents living near sewer. The respiratory and allergic symptoms and the prevalence of acute and chronic diseases, including cancer, were used as the outcome variables for health effects. After adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, occupational exposure, level of education, and body mass index, the residents near the industrial complexes were found to have more respiratory symptoms, such as cough. This study showed that residents living in the vicinity of industrial complexes have a high risk of acute and chronic diseases including respiratory and allergic conditions. These results can be used as basic objective data for developing health management measures for individuals residing near industrial complexes.
