Published: March 2023

The article examines the essence of the concept of "quality of management" and its criteria. The existing methods of determining the effectiveness of management in the organization are analyzed. It is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of the management system at the enterprise according to the functions performed by management at the enterprise. The applied methodological base made it possible to fundamentally change the perception of content-process specifics and instrumental-analytical possibilities of diagnosing the state of management quality for domestic enterprises. The spread of integration processes necessitates the development of the national economy on the basis of qualitative intellectual and innovative factors, first of all, quality management. Constant updating of ideas, creation of innovations and promotion of an innovative product to the market becomes the most urgent problem of the functioning of a construction enterprise in the conditions of European integration processes. In view of this, there is a need to develop and implement a policy of technological development, which will primarily involve the formation of a powerful innovative potential of the enterprise. 

This made it possible to determine that the updating of the management quality assessment system for modern enterprises should be carried out: first, taking into account the economic and operational-functional needs of the enterprise and the peculiarities of the environment for the implementation of its strategic, tactical and operational goals; and secondly, under the condition of rational observance of the leading ontological and methodological principles: hierarchical grouping of the factor-criterion system; external and internal orderliness and systematic coverage of the content of business processes by the factor system; combining the advantages of retrospective and preventive assessment tools, with the aim of successfully using the emerging technology of quality assurance management for the timely production of corrective and preventive effects.
THE CONCEPT OF "MEGASTRUCTURE" IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Osychenko Halyna , Tyshkevich Olga
Published: March 2023

In the 1960s, the theoretical concept of a megastructure - an extremely large structure - arose in architecture, which predicted the further development of architecture in practice. The concept of megastructure became more complicated and gained depth, combining progressive architectural concepts and theories of the second half of the 20th century ("open form", "indeterminacy", structuralism, architectural metabolism, etc.). But deepening the individual provisions of the concept introduced by F. Maki, one of the defining characteristics of a megastructure – its multifunctionality – did not receive further development among theorists of the middle of the 20th century. Also, in our opinion, it is important to emphasize that the excessive size of the building is accompanied by the extreme complexity of the project program and the construction of the architectural form.

We traced the evolution of the concept, which began with the design of cities as a single structure, and spread to the design of buildings and the organization of city fragments.

The border of the 20th and 21st centuries is filled with the practice of building super-large buildings and complexes, the construction of which requires enormous economic efforts of the country, the introduction of technical innovations and the attraction of particularly large investments. We practically witnessed the emergence of a new typology of buildings that combines architecture and urban planning, and for which in most cases the term F. Maki - megastructure is used.

Architectural theory responds to the problem of super-large structures with the concepts of Groβform, Bigness architecture and megaform. Each of the concepts considered in the study offers its own strategy for solving the problem of gigantism (beyond the boundaries of classical architectural methods) - a megastructural approach (F. Maki), an approach based on a large-scale architectural theme (O. Ungers), a topographic approach (K. Frampton).

All presented concepts combine the determination of the city-forming role of super-large buildings, their consideration as an effective means of solving the problems of the modern city.
SEQUENTIAL ANALYSIS OF CONTROL MEASUREMENTS IN TOPOGRAPHIC AND GEODETIC PRODUCTION

Published: March 2023

When performing topographical surveying, when performing planning, construction - installation and other works, it is necessary to perform control - geodetic measurements of the quality of their execution. Until now, control and geodetic measurements were established for various reasons, which did not have a completely specific scientific and industrial approach.

It will be most correct to perform control-geodetic measurements using the method of probabilistic-statistical sequential analysis, the foundations of which were developed by Wald.

Sequential analysis has already been used to optimally determine the methods of angular measurements in triangulation, but it should be noted that the calculated number of measurements in triangulation (polygonometry, trilateration, GPS) is known in advance, it is given in the instructions. 

When using control-geodetic measurements, their number is unknown in advance, for this purpose, the theory of sequential analysis using Markov random processes was refined.
UNDER-AGE AND FORCED MARRIAGES: AN ANATHEMA OF PAKISTANI SOCIETY
Authors: Nawaz Ahmad
Published: March 2023

Child marriage as a social norm has been in practice in most societies around the world.  The socio-political and scientific development in last few decades made known the harmful consequences of the practice on the victims’ emotional and physical health, their educational attainment, impairment of their employment opportunities and gender parity. Appreciating the ramification of child marriage at individual level, the global conscience under the UN acknowledged the right to enter into marriage with free and full consent as a basic human right. Pakistan is signatory to various international treaties that aim to curb the practice of child marriage, and to meet the commitments under these instruments have tried to bring some reforms in the legal framework dealing with the practice. There are, however, issues of socio-cultural traditions, religious beliefs and economic compulsions that contribute in continuation of the practice in Pakistan. The instant paper attempts to contribute in appraisal of the existing legal framework on the subject and analyze the determinants of the practice and explore their causal relationship in context of Pakistan’s socio-cultural norms.

Data analysis from various reports of Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey shows that the economic determinants of poverty and education attainment predominantly influence the age at which girls are married. Then owing to their limited social exposure and level of education, the parents of poor and rural household are more likely to get influenced by orthodox socio-cultural traditions and religious dogmas.

Relying on evidence-based analysis, the paper derives that any meaningful policy initiative to curb the practice should primarily focus on education attainment and poverty alleviation of vulnerable population. Besides, a well-knit awareness campaign need to be carried out to clarify the misinterpretation of Islamic teachings related to girl’s maturity and preferred age for marriage along with highlighting the harmful consequences of child marriage
Financing of CPEC Projects: Implications for Pakistan
Authors: Sharif Salman
Published: March 2023

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is the biggest economic cooperation initiative undertaken in the history of Pakistan. The strong fraternal bonds between Pakistan and China have, since 2015, galvanized into a shared economic future. The corridor will link China’s western region of Xinjiang to Pakistan through the Karakoram crossings, traversing Gilgit Baltistan (GB), through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Sindh and all the way to Gwadar in Balochistan at Pakistan’s south western coastline. The projects envisaged under CPEC are estimated to be worth US$ 62 billion including energy projects, railway lines, road networks, with the Gwadar port as the culmination point. Several other projects, such as Special Economic Zones (SEZs), knowledge exchanges and optic fibre network, are also part of CPEC. Financing all the CPEC projects, planned between 2015-2030, will be a huge undertaking for Pakistan’s economy, which continues to suffer from chronic structural issues, a burgeoning external debt, low revenue, negative balance of trade and negative current account deficit. While CPEC has been termed as a “game changer” for Pakistan’s economic future, it has faced criticism on account of its financial sustainability and lack of transparency, with fears that it may lead Pakistan into a Chinese “debt trap”. This research paper examines whether the issues related to financing of CPEC could outweigh the socio-economic benefits to Pakistan’s economy. A deeper examination of this topic reveals that Pakistan’s financial obligations arising out of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) include direct loan repayments of US$ 5.8 billion. This is in addition to the sovereign guarantees, subsidies and other concessions etc. that have been offered by the Government of Pakistan to Chinese firms investing in CPEC. Economic growth projections reveal that successful execution of CPEC projects will generate sufficient fiscal space for the Government to pay off these liabilities by 2035. This will be made possible due to higher growth rates, creation of employment and higher trade volume (both bilaterally with China as well as through enhanced regional trade). While there may be no “debt trap” for Pakistan from CPEC, however, policy makers in Islamabad must remain mindful that it is essentially a commercial undertaking. Pakistan, therefore, needs concrete policy measures to ensure best use of this opportunity to build its infrastructure and human capital. This paper offers several policy recommendations to the Government of Pakistan, including regular followup of progress at leadership level, pursuing regional integration to expand CPEC to Afghanistan and Central Asia, macroeconomic reforms to stabilize the economy, use of innovative methods to manage CPEC debt and liabilites, counter the negative narrative against CPEC, capacity building and technology transfer, capitalize on industrial development through SEZs, early implementation of ML-1 and inclusion of Diamer Bhasha dam in CPEC.

Rule of Law and the 2022 Czech Presidency: Strengthening Resiliency and Avoiding Conflicts
Authors: Šlosarčík Ivo
Published: March 2023

The insertion of “resiliency of democratic institutions” into the five key priorities of the 2022 Czech presidency indicates a political commitment to focus on the rule of law agenda. The following text aspires to map the practice of the Czech presidency in the domain of democratic institutions and rule of law and explain the reasons behind its (in)ability to deliver the expected outcomes. Firstly, the article analyses the specifics of the EU regulatory framework for the rule of law, and the impact of the Czech internal political situation after the 2021 parliamentary elections on the presidency’s performance. Secondly, the text covers four key policy issues that required the presidency’s attention in the second half of 2022: the evaluation of the judicial systems of member states, the formation of new EU rules for media freedom and the fight against disinformation, the amendment of the EP election process, and the judicial response to the crimes committed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Determinants of Household Cooking Energy Choice: Are Such Choices Influenced by Health Outcomes?
Authors: Oyedele Ovikuomagbe
Published: March 2023

Several factors determine a woman’s choice of cooking fuel type for her household. Since there are health effects to such decisions, it is consequential that households would take into consideration their health outcome experiences when making such choices. This study examined the determinants of household’s cooking energy choice. It examined whether such choices are influenced by health outcomes. A multinomial logit model was estimated, controlling for possible heterogeneity. Higher levels of household wealth index and education promote cleaner energy use such as electricity and gas rather than firewood, charcoal and other solid fuels in both urban and rural locations. Increasing household size reduced the likelihood of household’s use of electricity and gas rather than firewood, charcoal and other solid fuels. Richer households were generally more likely to use than poorer households. This was irrespective of whether they had zero child death or at least one child death experience. Thus, policy effort towards achieving energy transition and environmental quality should improve household wealth and women education.
How Oil Price Changes Affect Foreign Direct Investment Inflows in South Africa? An ARDL Approach
Authors: Tala Lavisa , Hlongwane Tshembhani M.
Published: March 2023

The study examined how oil price changes affect Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflow in South Africa. The study used annual quantitative data, obtained from the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) and World Bank development indicators. With the exception of real exchange rate, Augmented Dicky Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-Peron (PP) tests for stationarity indicated variables become stationary after first differencing. Stationarity test results suggested application of ARDL bounds test for cointegration. ARDL bounds test for co-integration confirms that variables of the study have long-run relationship with F-statistic of 6.59, which is higher than the lower (2.98) and upper (3.78) boundaries at least 5% level of significance.  In the long - run oil prices coefficient found to have negative and significant influence in foreign direct investment inflows during 1980-2020 period. Empirical results provide practical implications for South Africa, as oil importing country can hedge crude oil price changes to maintain future quantity of crude oil to be imported. The study recommends expansion of renewable energy sources to reduce South Africa’s vulnerability to oil price fluctuations. Moreover, since oil prices are exogenously determined, setting up forward looking institutions such as sovereign wealth funds and short- term stabilization funds will be better.

One of the main ingredients in making edible films is starch. Arrowroot has a high starch content so that it can be used as raw material for making edible films. To increase the tensile strength and improve the surface structure of the edible film, it is necessary to add carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). However, it is necessary to have the right CMC concentration in order to produce an edible filmwith optimal tensile strength. The purpose of this study was to determine the correct CMC concentration of corn stalks to produce edible films with the best physical and chemical characteristics. The experimental design used in this study was a non-factorial completely randomized design, namely the concentration of commercial CMC: CMC corn stalks (ml) with five treatment levels, namely: A1 = 1: 0; A2 = 0.75: 0.25; A3 = 0.5: 0.5; A4 = 0.25: 0.75; and A5 = 0: 1. Each treatment was repeated four times in order to obtain the experimental unit 5 x 4 = 20 experimental units.

Innovation Snack Crackers Sorghum, Challenge and Characterization Product: A review
Authors: Achmadi Evita Riviani
Published: March 2023

Abstract Background : Snack crackers can be modified into healthy snacks with the concept of gluten-free crackers for coeliac sufferers. The best design innovation for producing gluten-free snack crackers is the use of sorghum flour as an alternative to wheat. Sorghum is recommended to be safe for coeliac sufferers because it is included in the Panicoidea sub family, which is the same family as corn and millet grains. The phenolic components contained in sorghum include 3-deoxyanthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, flavones and flavanones. These components are active components that act as antioxidants, anticarcinogens and prevent cardiovascular disease. Along with these functional components, the use of sorghum flour in crackers means they can be promoted as gluten-free snacks that provide health benefits.Scope and approach: This review explain about how to develop snack crackers that contain sorghum flour as the main ingredient and the challenging in terms of formulation and processing methods. Key to the success of cracker innovation with sorghum flour is establishing which cracker characteristics are accepted by consumers, critical points at the processing stage and characteristics of sorghum flour that support the desired end product.Key findings and conclusion: Development in formulations, ingredients and process conditions is a challenge for snack cracker innovation with sorghum flour as an alternative. Presence of some antinutritional factors in sorghum such as tannins, phytates, trypsin inhibitors, and protein crosslinker can be maintain by pretreatment sorghum before its prosessed as sorghum flour. The best treatment is fermentation followed by the combination of soaking, germination, and nixtamalization. Formulation and process condition can be adjust based on viscoelasticity and consistency of snack krekers dough. It is also important to consider incorporation sorghum flour and others gluten free flour to get optimum dough consistency and viscoelasticity. Increasing the viscoelasticity of the dough can be achieved by adding functional ingredients such as protein isolate, fibre, hydrocolloid and emulsifier to improve the baking quality of gluten-free snack crackers. The incorporation of optimization hydrocolloids and other functional ingredients requires further research focused on identifying the right functional ingredients to effectively replace the function of wheat gluten. Development of gluten-free crackers is expected to be able to overcome the limitations of technology, nutritional quality and sensory properties on an ongoing basis.

Authors: BEDEZ ÜTE Tuba , ERTEKİN Gözde
Published: March 2023

This study investigated the thermal comfort properties of knitted fabrics produced from newly engineered Umorfil® yarns and their blends with Tencel®, wool, acrylic and polyester yarns. Single jersey-knitted fabrics were produced with 50/50% blended yarns (Umorfil®/Tencel®, Umorfil®/wool, Umorfil®/acrylic, and Umorfil®/polyester) and with 100% Umorfil® yarn for comparison. In this regard, the thermal comfort properties (thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity), air permeability, relative water vapour permeability, water absorbency, and wicking characteristics of these fabrics were measured and evaluated statistically. The results revealed that, 100% Umorfil® and 50/50% Umorfil®/Tencel® fabrics provided better characteristics in terms of thermal conductivity, air permeability, water absorbency, wicking behaviours, and colder feelings for the use of fabrics in hot climate products. It is also suggested that owing to the synergistic effect of these two materials, the blend of Umorfil® with Tencel® enhanced the thermal comfort and liquid moisture transmission capacities of the fabrics.

Published: March 2023

La definición de autonomía estratégica aplicada a la UE tiene su origen en el ámbito de la seguridad y la defensa, aunque no se ha conseguido una definición clara y plenamente aceptada. En ella intervienen diversos tipos de factores que, unidos a las desiguales posiciones de los países de la UE, a las necesidades que se han mostrado obvias a partir de la pandemia y la guerra de Ucrania y a los impactos previsibles dentro del ámbito económico-industrial, suponen un conjunto de aspectos contrapuestos que no dan lugar a una perspectiva unívoca del tema. El impacto que la autonomía estratégica, tal y como se define aquí, puede tener en la base industrial y tecnológica de defensa europea y de los distintos países miembros, es aún una incógnita, aunque se pueden avanzar algunas posiciones y resultados.

Published: March 2023

The article presents the results of research on the influence of duration of kneading of udder of springer heifers on further development of mammary gland and future productivity of cows.
An important chain of effective dairy farming is the accurate organisation of herd reproduction, preparation of springer heifers for calving and lactation and milking of first calves. It has been determined that during the formation of productivity of dairy animals the first pregnancy has a decisive importance.
The specific feature of this physiological state is that complex morphological and functional changes in the reproductive organs happen for the first time in the body, and pregnancy, calving and lactation proceed in the further formation of the animal organism. One of the most significant stressors on the first calving heifer's body is the first birth in combination with machine milking. The inability to overcome the influence of the first milking stress factor is the reason why some first calves are already being eliminated at this phase of the technological chain in commercial milk production.
One of the techniques that can reduce the impact of the above mentioned stress factors is udder massage of springer heifers.
To study effectiveness of manual massage of udder of springer heifers its duration (from 1 to 4 min.) was tested. There was also studied the effect of different durations of manual massage on the performance of heifers and their morphological traits. The experiment was carried out in SE "Ukrainka Slobodskaya" by IAS NAAS on animals of Ukrainian black-motley dairy breed. For that, five groups were formed with different duration of manual massage (I - 1min, II - 2min, III - 3min, IV - 4min, V - without massage). Massage was started in the 6th month of pregnancy.
It was found that kneading of udder of springer heifers compared to no massage increased udder of first calving heifers according to the following measurements: udder girth by 17,4 - 18,7 % (P≤0,05), width 17,9 - 23,7 (P≤0,05), length 15,9 - 20,7 (P≤0,05), depth 16,1 - 20,8 (P≤0,05). It should be noted that using different time of hand massage (groups I-IV) positively shortens the time of litter secretion and increases milk production by 11.7 - 12.3%.

Authors: Yuan Jin
Published: March 2023

This paper studied deixis in cognitive linguistics, and mainly introduced three types of deixis: spatio-temporal; knowledge-related; empathy. On the basis, the literature on this topic in recent years was reviewed relying on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science. The findings are: the deixis represented by "这" and "那" and "this" and "that" are related to the distance of psychological space rather than only physical space; the emerging study like children's deixis and the combination of deixis with sign language has been developing gradually. More cross-field or other empirical studies will attract more researchers to conduct in the future.

Mungbean is one of the main commodity which are planted in the dry season after planting rice. Even though having a high marketable value, the productivity of mungbean is still quite low because the farmers rarely provide enough fertilizer dosage and use the low growed seeds which resulted directly to the low quality or productivity. This study aims to determine the response of three mungbean varieties in paddy fields with five levels of NPKS (15:15:15:10) fertilizers. The study was consisted of three varieties (Vima-1, 2, 4) and five doses of NPKS fertilizer (100, 200, 300, 400, 500 kg ha-1). The study was applied to the randomized completely block design with three replications. The results showed that plant height, number of clusters, biomass dry weight, and seed yield ha-1 of mungbean are significant different between Vima-1, Vima-2 and Vima-4 varieties, while the addition of NPKS inorganic fertilizers could increase plant height and root weight. The interactions between varieties and the NPKS fertilizer dosage was experienced in the number of pods and seed weight per plant. The highest yield of mungbean was resulted in Vima-1 (2.18 tons ha-1) whereas the lowest yield was obtained by Vima-2 which resulted in seed 1.42 tons ha-1. The application of inorganic fertilizer NPKS (15:15:15:10) 100 kg ha-1 has quite enough to produce an optimum productivity of mungbean in Malang rice fields.

НЕВІДОМИЙ ПЕТРО НІЩИНСЬКИЙ (за матеріалами щоденника та епістолярію архімандрита Антоніна (Капустіна))
Authors: Zhulkovskyi Bohdan
Published: March 2023

Метою статті є реконструкція невідомих сторінок біографії знаменитого українського композитора, письменника, поета-перекладача, культурного діяча Петра Івановича Ніщинського (1832–1896) на основі щоденника та епістолярію архімандрита Антоніна (Капустіна; 1817–1894). Методологія наукової розвідки поєднує низку гуманітарних підходів, серед яких основними є мікроісторичний та біографічний. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає у відновленні забутих фактів із життєпису маестро, пов’язаних із його довготривалими та непростими взаєминами з шанованою постаттю ХІХ століття, зокрема в період навчання на філологічному та теологічному факультетах Афінського університету і в перші роки викладацької та просвітницької діяльності. Висновки. Джерела особового походження начальника духовних місій в Афінах, Константинополі, Єрусалимі відкривають чимало цікавих сторінок у творчій біографії його референта Петра Ніщинського. Попри напружені відносини, які тривали майже півстоліття, обоє маститих представників інтелігенції не припиняли спілкування, духовний отець нерідко надавав матеріальну підтримку своєму келійнику, висловлював поради з приводу його сімейного життя, кар’єрного зросту, педагогічної та видавничої діяльності, інших важливих аспектів праці й побуту. Любов до України змусила композитора повернутися з еміграції, аби творити прекрасні артефакти в царині музичного мистецтва і художньої літератури, які назавжди ввійшли до золотого фонду національно-культурного відродження. Подальшого вивчення потребує інтерес митця до літургічного музикознавства і музичної медієвістики, зокрема візантиністики й палеославістики. Збереглися свідчення, що Петро Ніщинський виконував функції протопсалта на богослужіннях у церкві духовної місії Афін, настоятелем якої був архімандрит Антонін (Капустін), та впевнено дешифрував піснеспіви, зафіксовані новогрецькою невменною нотацією.
КОМПОЗИЦІЙНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ЖАНРУ CONCERTO GROSSO У ТВОРЧОСТІ А. ГАЙДЕНКА
Authors: Varakuta Maryna , Votintseva Maryna
Published: March 2023

Мета дослідження. У науковій статті порушується питання процесів відродження жанру concerto grosso в музиці ХХ століття, що одержали індивідуальні особливості у національних музичних культурах, у тому числі в українській академічній музиці. Науково-дослідницька увага концентрується на виявленні композиційних особливостей жанру concerto grosso у творчості відомого сучасного українського композитора Анатолія Гайденка. Методологія дослідження представляє комплексний підхід до вивчення зазначеного явища і ґрунтується на поєднанні історичного, а також аналітичного методів. Історичний метод надає можливість визначити змінне та незмінне у відродженні старовинного жанру в сучасній академічній музиці, а аналітичний – вивчити композиційні особливості конкретного музичного твору, обраного матеріалом дослідження презентованої наукової статті. Наукова новизна роботи полягає у зверненні до творчості відомого сучасного українського композитора, музика якого більше відома насамперед за концертними виконаннями і практично не вивчена сьогочасними музикознавцями. Аналіз Сoncerto grosso А. Гайденка доводить, що в трактуванні старовинного європейського жанру проявляються яскраво виражені національні риси, які органічно поєднуються з композиційними особливостями жанрового прототипу, і що такі тенденції є специфічними ознаками сучасної академічної української музики. У висновках вказано, що у Concerto grosso знаний український композитор звертається до національних фольклорних інтонацій, виразно використовує сучасні музичні прийоми, але не вносить змін у традиційну композицію жанру concerto grosso. Перспективи подальшого вивчення означеної теми полягають у комплексному дослідженні нео- жанрів в академічній інструментальній музиці сучасних українських композиторів, представників різних регіональних шкіл.
