Fuzzy MADM Approach for Identification of Key Sectors of Tajikistan Economy

The development strategy, focused on the promotion of the efficient and prospective production sectors required for effectively solving social, economic and other problems becomes very important in resource allocation decision making process of developing countries. The structural hierarchy, comprising social, economic, technological and environmental aspects, which is involved in the selection of sectors constructed according to the hierarchical system of objectives. The Fuzzy Multi-attribute Decision Making method is used to rank the sectors by indicating the degree to which an alternative satisfies the global objectives of criteria obtained by aggregation operations in fuzzy environment. By applying the developed approach to defining and identifying the key sectors of an economy, we can rank the aggregated 17 sectors of the Tajikistan economy according to their degree of achievement in satisfying key criteria.

Robust Dissipative Control for Nonlinear System with Sector Input

Based on the quadratic supply rate, the problem of robust dissipative control for a class of uncertain nonlinear system with sector nonlinear input is discussed. The uncertainty is described by bounded norm. It is shown that the robust dissipative control problem can be resolved for all admissible uncertainty, if there exists a storage function such that Hamilton Jacobi inequality holds. When the uncertainties of the system satisfy the matching condition, and input function within the boundedness of the sector, the closed loop system will be stronger dissipativeness, and the controller which we obtained in the paper is more flexible, because it contains an adjustable parameter for some certain range.

Effectiveness of Budgetary Entities

This paper acquaints readers with the practice of effectiveness evaluation in the public sector. The purpose of this paper is to study performance measurement according to the changes in public sector reform by focusing on performance-based budgeting in Russia. This paper suggests that the construction process of performance measurement should be aligned with outputs and outcomes of budget policy. The main research materials for this paper are based on data from a survey and follow-up interviews of budgetary managers and accountants. The survey result sets priorities and weighted some indicators to the measurement of effectiveness in the public sector. The data of this study were not large, but the study led to understanding how effectiveness is seen by budgetary managers and how measurement systems should be structured. Texts and contents from different sources such as financial annual reports and budgetary entities＇ websites provided insightful and interesting findings.

Comparative analysis of greenhouse gas emission inventory for Pakistan: Part Ⅱ agriculture, forestry and other land use and waste

Understanding Pakistan's greenhouse gas(GHG)emission status is critical for identifying the national targets for GHG mitigation with respect to the nationally determined contributions(NDCs).This study focuses on the development of Pakistan's GHG(C0_(2),CH_(4),and N20)inventories for agriculture,forestry and other land use(AFOLU)and waste sectors using 2006 IPCC Guidelines.This study should be seen as a direct continuation of the preceding one(Part I[Available online at:https://doi.Org/10.1016/j.accre.2020.05.002])which discusses energy and industrial processes and product use in compliance with the 2006 and 1996 IPCC Guidelines.It also provides sector-specific comparative time series(1994-2017)analysis of GHG inventories,identification of key categories,and national GHG emissions trend for Pakistan.The results indicate an average relative difference(on average for time series 1994-2017)of 19%and 6%in total GHG emissions(C0_(2)-eq)from AFOLU and waste sector respectively between 2006 and 1996 IPCC Guidelines.The absolute difference over the entire time series for AFOLU and waste sector was in the range of 3-67 Mt C0_(2)-eq and 1-7 Mt CQ2-eq respectively.Findings further reveal that the quantity of national GHG emissions by 2006 IPCC Guidelines is 10%lower on average for complete time series compared to 1996 IPCC Guidelines.The average relative difference for total national emissions of C0_(2),CH_(4) and N20 is-1%,9%,and 48%respectively.Key category analysis based on 2006 IPCC Guidelines estimates identified three categories,each contributing>10%to the level assessment in the latest year 2017 and accounting for approximately half of the national GHG emissions.In order to further improve the reliability of GHG inventories,Pakistan needs to move from 1996 to 2006 IPCC Guidelines under a higher Tier approach particularly for identified key categories.
