Sesame, a traditional oilseed crop with a long history, has been cultivated and utilized by people in Pakistan for centuries. In the year 2018, a total of 29,000 tons of sesame seeds were harvested from an extensive area of 176,000 acres in Pakistan. According to the Federal Bureau of Statistics for the year 2018-19, Pakistan exported sesame seeds worth Rs. 9,000 million, which amounted to a staggering 366 million tons (AARI 2018-19). Nitrogen (N) is an element that is prominently included in the metabolic system of plants. Protein is involved in all of the activities that are necessary for the survival of plants, and an important component of protein is nitrogen. During Kharif season 2022 to study the expansion and yield reaction of Sesame to various nitrogen concentrations. The treatments included T1 = Control (Zero N), T2 = Recommended dose N @60 kg ha-1, T3 = 10% higher than recommended N and T4 = 10% less than recommended N. The field experiment was carried out to assess during June 2022–2023. at the experimental students farm department of Agronomy at Sindh Agricultural University, Tandojam. The experiment was set up using a Randomized Complete Block Design with a plot size of 3 x 4 12 m2. The sesame crop fertilized with treated with T4 = 10% less than recommended N resulted 158.57 cm plant height, 8.00 branches plant-1, 151.04 capsules plant-1, 33.35 number of seeds capsule-1, 3.61 g seed index (1000-grain weight), 41.26 g seed yield plant-1 and 761.08 kg ha-1 seed yield. Similarly, T3 = 10% higher than recommended N resulted 132.63 cm plant height, 6.47 branches plant-1, 145.45 capsules plant-1, 30.34 number of seeds capsule-1, 3.31 g seed index (1000-grain weight), 36.35 g seed yield plant-1 and 712.45 kg ha-1 seed yield. However, recommended dose of N 117.82 cm plant height, 5.57 branches plant-1, 121.88 capsules plant-1, 23.28 numbers of seeds capsule-1, 3.14 g seed index (1000-grain weight), 32.07 g seed yield plant-1 and 540.46 kg ha-1 seed yield. The sesame crop under control (Zero N) with 91.12 cm plant height, 4.34 branches plant-1, 41.30 capsules plant-1, 17.02 number of seeds capsule-1, 2.78 g seed index (1000-grain weight), 21.02 g seed yield plant-1 and 363.75 kg ha-1 seed yield. Based on the findings of the current research, it was determined that as the nitrogen levels increased, both the growth and yield of sesame showed a simultaneous increase. Notably, the sesame plants that were fertilized with T4, which was 10% less nitrogen than the recommended amount, resulted in the highest grain yield (761.08 kg ha-1), followed by T3 = N @ 50 kg ha-1 (712.45 kg ha-1) and T3 = N @ 45 kg ha-1 (10 % less than recommended N) (540.46 kg ha-1).

Pakistan, with limited export commodities and markets, grapples with a persistent trade deficit, making its agricultural sector pivotal to the economy. This study delves into the contemporary economic concept of competitiveness, aiming to evaluate and identify determinants influencing the export of mangoes—a significant contributor to the agricultural GDP at 2.48%. Comparative advantage, rather than competitive profit, serves as a more apt term in the realm of trade theory. In this research both time series and panel data was used. The data was collected from secondary sources from multiple sites and main among these were UN-FAO, AMIS, WDI and WITS. Gravity model were used to find the determinants that provided estimation of exports between the Pakistan and other countries. The variables studied in this research were export quantity, export value and export price between Pakistan and its major exporters. Collected data was analyzed through appropriate statistical technique using RCA indices and their extensions. Findings of the study were expected to be helpful in developing some strategies to increase exports of mango from Pakistan. The determinants nominal GDP’s for both Pakistan and importing countries, exchange rate and mango area evaluated for mango were significant. This research results showed that Pakistan is quite stable in mango production and much more efforts are needed to ensure and maximize improvements in export of varieties of mango production.

Authors: Peng Lance
Published: January 2024

This viewpoint article examines the impact of supervisory relationships on the academic progress of PhD researchers based on my experiential evidence as a doctoral candidate. Initially, the Didaktik triangle is employed to explore the dynamics of supervisor-supervisee relationships (SSRs), and I contend that there are four discrete categories of supervisory styles. Subsequently, I employ vignettes derived from personal anecdotes of my PhD peers to scrutinise the pragmatic hurdles and intricate ethical dilemmas inherent in SSRs and within the institutional context. Provided are perspectives and reflections of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, accompanied by a synthesis of relevant psychosocial and sociological paradigms in the framework of academic communities. I aim to provide insight into the complexities of SSRs in higher education and propose practical solutions to address the associated challenges. This article serves as a cautionary guide for doctoral researchers, outlining areas of potential concern to consider throughout their academic pursuits. It provides an alternative conceptualisation of the interplay between mind and matter within doctoral development, highlighting the importance of considering the intricacies of SSRs, departmental structures, institutional policies, and broader university contexts.
A retrospective outlook: approaching gender and sexual diversity in education with drama and theatre
Authors: Peng Lance
Published: January 2024

Research has shown the impetus for utilising dramatic techniques in addressing issues around gender and sexual diversity (GSD) in education. This article argues that drama is an important way of engaging in conversations around GSD in educational settings. The article begins with an exploration of heteronormativity and cisnormativity in education and studies the usefulness of drama and theatre as tools applied to promote GSD. Prior research and projects conducted in different contexts were analysed. The article concludes that five dramatic components could be identified and are pivotal in educational programmes that implemented performing arts and participatory pedagogies in the discussion of GSD - exploration, open-endedness, playfulness, aesthetic distance, and experimentation. The article analysed the development of exploring GSD from artistic and dramatic viewpoints in education spaces during recent decades, and concluded by encouraging future GSD projects to proceed to be creative and inclusive in tackling gender diversity and its visibility.

An analysis of external respiration indicators and quality of life of patients with different phenotypes of occupational asthma was carried out (according to the analysis of the results of the MOS SF-36 questionnaire). In the patients with all phenotypes of the disease, there was a decrease in forced expiratory parameters in all phenotypes of occupational bronchial asthma, as well as in indicators of both mental and physical health relative to the control group (p<0.001). Notably, the worst indicators of quality of life were demonstrated by the patients with the phenotype of occupational asthma with metabolic syndrome. The individuals in this group had the lowest average scores on 6 out of 8 questionnaire scales, and significant differences were confirmed on 5 scales: these are the scales of physical functioning, general health, vital activity, social functioning, and role functioning due to emotional state. The quality of life was least affected in the patients with non-allergic phenotype of occupational bronchial asthma: the results of this group turned out to be the best among the patients with all disease phenotypes on 5 scales, and the patients scored significantly the highest on 4 of these scales.

The work presents a pressing problem for doctors of any specialty — burnout syndrome. It is important to be able to prevent the development of burnout and overcome it correctly. Rationale. This problem is generally recognized. Meanwhile, in the literature these issues are reflected somewhat scat teredly; there is no systematization. Purpose. Considering the sources by Russian and foreign authors aimed at studying the relationship between doctors’ burnout and the coping strategies that they use. Methods. A literature search of Russian and foreign authors was carried out; the obtained data were analyzed and summarized. Results. In the course of working with a patient, the doctor is involved in this process not only as a specialist demonstrating his/her professional skills and curing this or that pathological condition, but also becomes involved emotionally. Moreover, if, when working with a patient, the doctor is emotionally invested in the situation more than the patient himself/herself and chooses an interpretative or paternalistic model of relationship, this will contribute to the development of burnout and, over time, in the absence of preventive measures, lead to the burnout progression. In this regard, a doctor of any specialty must remember it and select these models of interaction with the patient as a last resort and for a short time, or use these models at the very beginning of the disease, when the patient cannot yet accept his/her new condition. A major role in resolving this issue is played by informing specialists about the early signs of burnout and risk factors, getting emotional support from colleagues and management, and taking training sessions aimed at acquiring skills to cope with stressful situations. Conclusion. Despite the fact that burnout has been known and actively studied for many years, and that there has been some success in solving this issue, the problem is still relevant in modern society among specialists whose work activities are carried out in the person-to-person sphere, primarily among doctors. The use of coping strategies will improve the level of psychological health of the employee and the effectiveness of the provided assistance and reduce the prevalence of iatrogenics.

The article highlights the difficulties that a doctor may encounter when managing a patient with Morton's neuroma. Rationale. Tunnel, or compression, syndromes/neuropathies are one of the most common groups of diseases of the peripheral nerves and, according to various authors, account for 25% to 40% of all diseases of the peripheral nervous system. In 1876, Thomas Morton first described a syndrome in which he observed “a peculiar and painful affection of the fourth metatarso-phalangeal articulation” in 12 patients. When studying this pathology, Morton suggested that mechanical compression of the nerve by the heads of the metatarsal bones was the main mechanism for the development of the disease. Purpose of the work: to summarize and present material demonstrating the features of managing patients with Morton's neuroma. Materials and methods: a literature search of Russian and foreign authors was carried out; the obtained data were analyzed and summarized. Results. Summary information on the management of patients with Morton's neuroma is provided. The main issues of diagnosis and treatment of this pathology are demonstrated. Conclusion. An analysis of the effectiveness of surgical treatment of Morton's neuroma showed excellent results in 45% of cases, good results in 32%, satisfactory results in 15%, and unsatisfactory results in 8% of cases. The low effectiveness of surgical interventions is associated with the formation of a true amputation neuroma in the area of the proximal section of the intermetatarsal nerve.

Published: January 2024

Under modern conditions of increasing the role of services in the field of trade, the theoretical, methodological and scientific-practical aspects of means, methods and systems of quality management of services at trade enterprises are insufficiently developed. This leads to the study of theoretical approaches to determining the quality of service, identifying elements of ensuring a high level of service and, based on generalizing the main management problems and conditions of process management, choosing possible measures to maintain quality at this level, its gradual improvement and evaluation of these actions. The article defines the essence of the concept of "quality" and "quality of service", analyzes the elements of quality service, identifies problems, causes of poor service and provision of trade services, and suggests possible measures to eliminate them. The study identified the following problems of reducing the quality of service, such as: incomplete consultation of sellers, a small range of products, returns from customers, lack of cheap goods, and cashier error during operation. But this requires: high, professional qualifications of employees; providing additional services for the purchase of products; advanced methods of selling goods; intensive use of advertising and information; wide, stable range that meets consumer demands; full compliance with current sales rules and the trading system, which represents a high level of quality management in the field of trade. Further study requires the introduction and management of social responsibility in enterprises in the field of trade.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES IN THE CONDITIONS OF ADMINISTRATIVE-TERRITORIAL REFORM: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
Authors:   Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economics of KNUTE, Chernivtsi, Roshylo Violetta
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of the peculiarities of legislative and normative and institutional support of the process of formation of the basic level of local self-government and transition to the new model of subregional system. The issue of ensuring the financial autonomy of territorial entities is identified, namely: delegation by the state of additional budgetary powers to the level of local government budgets without adequate funding and additional sources of income at the local level. The volume of educational and medical subventions did not meet the need for funds for certain purposes due to the lack of relevant relevant standards of budgetary provision of public services in the field of delegated powers. It is substantiated that increasing the level of financial independence of local authorities is a crucial factor in the economic development of regions, which will create a financial basis for providing residents of local communities with high quality and affordable public services. The transfer to the level of local self-government of a significant amount of national powers without adequate financial resources requires the introduction of a new model of financial equalization of territorial communities aimed at strengthening their income base. The chosen model of decentralization in Ukraine did not avoid the formation of communities with low resource and financial capacity. It is proved that expanding and optimizing the sources of filling local budgets of territorial communities, increasing the powers of local governments in managing financial resources and increasing their independence is an extremely important task. Its solution will help increase the level of financial independence of local authorities and the quality of their tasks and functions. The author outlines the directions of optimization of the mechanism of financial equalization of the income base of local communities. Fiscal policy in terms of local finances should be aimed at forming financially viable local governments, as the availability of sufficient funds in community budgets will allow to quickly and efficiently address socio-economic issues at the local community level and promote its further development.

NATURAL-LANGUAGE TEXT COMPRESSION USING REVERSE MULTI-DELIMITER CODES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Anisimov A.V. , Zavadskyi I.O. , Chudakov T.S.
Published: January 2024

We study a class of binary reverse multi-delimiter (RMD) data compression codes in application to natural language text compression. The RMD-codewords start with delimiters, i.e., prefixes of the form that cannot occur in other places of the codeword. The position of the delimiter in an RMD codeword differs from its position in “direct” multi-delimiter (MD) codes, where delimiters are codeword suffixes. RMD and MD codes possess many useful properties, such as unique decodability, completeness, universality, synchronizability, asymptotic densities, and finite automaton acceptability. For RMD-codes, we construct a monotonic mapping from the set of natural numbers to the set of codewords. For original MD-codes, hitherto, this was an open question. The discovered mapping and the byte quantification of a decoding automaton allow us to develop very fast byte-aligned algorithms for decoding and direct Boyer–Moore style search in compressed files. Compared with the known byte (SCDC) and Fibonacci codes, RMD codes demonstrate the best compression ratio on natural language texts (more than four times closer to the entropy bound than that of SCDC). Computer experiments demonstrate that RMD codes can be decoded almost as fast as SCDC and times faster than Fibonacci codes. In natural language text compression, we also practiced the RMD-encoding as a preprocessing tool, which improves the performance of the known modern powerful archivers.

Peculiarities are determined, and scopes of application of the methods of informatics and cybernetics are specified based on V.M. Glushkov’s definition of the concept of information. The concept of artificial intelligence is noted to belong to these branches of science. The impossibility of using the traditional theoretical and practical foundations of discretization, quantization, and signal transmission in real-time systems and the need to develop new theoretical foundations based on the measure of changes for cybernetic systems have been proved. A tracking model of analog-incremental transformation of continuous signals with increments, multiple of the degree of 2, and methods of their coordination with the information processing means are proposed. The basis of the dynamic theory of information based on δ-entropy is proposed for excreting useful (dynamic) information from signals, images, videos, iterative processes and, in general, from the data on changes in evolutionary processes. Approaches to the synthesis of new technical solutions based on the method of knowledge increments are proposed. The peculiarities of creating artificial intelligence by the methods of informatics and cybernetics and the need for their synergy with other fields of science are determined. Keywords: computer science, cybernetics, information, artificial intelligence, computational technique, static information, dynamic information, measure of change, δ-entropy, information, knowledge gain, heuristics.

Mahasiswa yang memilih kuliah sambil bekerja dihadapkan oleh beberapa tanggung jawab yang harus diselesaikan. Tanggung jawab dalam hal baik secara akademik yang merupakan tanggung jawab utama dan diikuiti oleh tanggung jawab dalam pekerjaannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji secara empiris pengaruh kecerdasan emosi terhadap academic buoyancy pada mahasiswa yang kuliah sambil bekerja. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan jumlah responden sebanyak 100 mahasiswa yang kuliah sambil bekerja. Alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk academic bouyancy menggunakan skala Academic Buoyancy Scale (ABS) yang dikembangkan oleh Martin and Marsh dan kecerdasan emosi diukur dengan menggunakan skala Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) yang dikembangkan oleh Goleman. Teknik analisis data menggunakan regresi sederhana dan didapatkan hasil terdapat pengaruh yang sangat signifikan academic buoyancy terhadap kecerdasan emosi pada mahasiswa yang kuliah sambil bekerja dengan nilai signifkansi sebesar 0,000 (p ≤ 0,05). Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis yang diajukan dalam penelitian ini diterima. Terdapat nilai 52,1% academic buoyancy terhadap kecerdasan emosi dan sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar penelitian.
