The nutrition knowledge level of physicians, nurses and nutritionists in some educational hospitals

Nutritional care is an important part of medical care of patients and plays a key role in improvement, prevention and control of malnutrition in hospitals. The current study aimed to determine the nutrition knowledge level of doctors, nurses and nutritionists in some teaching hospitals in Tehran in 2008. In a cross-sectional study a total of 198 samples including 28 nutritionists, 81 nurses and 89 physicians were selected using simple random sampling. The current study was conducted in 9 hospitals affiliated with the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (SBMU) in Tehran. A self-administered multiple choice questionnaire about different aspects of basic and clinical nutrition was completed. Then nutrition knowledge levels of each individual was determined by calculating correct knowledge, perceived knowledge and accuracy of knowledge scores. The median knowledge score of the nutritionists, physicians, and nurses was 85%,77%, and 75%, respectively. The median perceived knowledge of all the groups was above 90%. The mean accuracy score in the 3 groups of nutritionists, physicians and nurses was 87%,79%, and 76%, respectively. The results indicated that all groups have a poor knowledge, especially in clinical nutrition topics. Based on the current results, knowledge level of clinical staff is an effective factor in not paying attention to the importance of nutritional care as a part of medical care of the patients. Enhancing awareness level of all groups especially physicians and nutritionists in clinical division plays an important role in enhancing clinical nutrition care and treatment regime.
Getting Loan Clients to Recommend Financial Service Providers: The Role of Satisfaction, Trust and Information Quality

This paper examines the role of satisfaction, trust and information quality as determinants of loan clients’ recommendation of financial service providers in a developing country. Drawing on existing literature, a conceptual model was developed and validated with data from loan clients in Ghana. The study involved a cross-sectional survey of 371 loan customers of leading financial service providers in Ghana. The results show that satisfaction, trust and loan information quality are significant factors influencing clients’ recommendation of loan products. Moreover, satisfaction and information quality also contributed significantly to influencing clients’ trust for financial service providers. The findings provide important implications for inducing loan clients’ recommendation of financial services to others. While this study is limited in terms of generalizability of the findings in developing countries, it provides avenues for further research for modelling the determinants of loan acquisition intentions of clients in financial markets in other research settings.
Non-local Thermodynamic Equilibrium Stellar Spectroscopy with 1D and Models. I. Methods and Application to Magnesium Abundances in Standard Stars

We determine Mg abundances in six Gaia benchmark stars using theoretical one-dimensional (1D) hydrostatic model atmospheres, as well as temporally and spatially averaged three-dimensional ( ) model atmospheres. The stars cover a range of from 4700 to 6500 K, from 1.6 to 4.4 dex, and from −3.0 dex to solar. Spectrum synthesis calculations are performed in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and in non-LTE (NLTE) using the oscillator strengths recently published by Pehlivan Rhodin et al. We find that: (a) Mg abundances determined from the infrared spectra are as accurate as the optical diagnostics, (b) the NLTE effects on Mg i line strengths and abundances in this sample of stars are minor (although for a few Mg i lines the NLTE effects on abundance exceed in and in 1D, (c) the solar Mg abundance is (total error), in excellent agreement with the Mg abundance measured in CI chondritic meteorites, (d) the 1D NLTE and NLTE approaches can be used with confidence to analyze optical Mg i lines in spectra of dwarfs and sub-giants, but for red giants the Mg i 5711 Å line should be preferred, (e) low-excitation Mg i lines are sensitive to the atmospheric structure; for these lines, LTE calculations with models lead to significant systematic abundance errors. The methods developed in this work will be used to study Mg abundances of a large sample of stars in the next paper in the series.
Direct and Indirect Effects of Pisaster ochraceus on tide pool communities

Pisaster ochraceus is a major predator in intertidal ecosystems in the western United States and may play a pivotal role in tide pool community distribution and diversity. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Pisaster presence on a dominant gastropod genus (Tegula), as well was the indirect effects on the tide pool community in Bodega Bay, CA. Short-term experiments were conducted that involved adding Pisaster to previously Pisaster-free pools and monitoring Tegula flee response. Long-term experiments were conducted by bagging Pisaster, attaching the filled bags within pools, and monitoring how presence alone affected the entire pool community (mobile species and percent cover of sessile species). The key factor in both short and long-term experiments was solely Pisaster presence, in both experiments Pisaster were unable to prey. Short-term experiments clearly (p< 0.07) showed an immediate Tegula flee response with the addition of Pisaster into pools. Long-term experiments showed a decline in Tegula abundance and in mobile species richness and diversity in treatment pools. No change was seen in sessile species richness or diversity over the course of the experiment. This study suggests Pisaster has a clear direct effect on Tegula and other mobile species while indirect effects on sessile species may not occur.
Fragmented Ties, Salvadoran Immigrant Networks in America

bajo de investigación exhaustivo sobre la naturaleza de las redes sociales de los inmigrantes salvadoreños recientes en Estados Unidos. La autora combina encuestas a 150 salvadoreños y 50 entrevistas a profundidad con inmigrantes de esta nacionalidad llegados entre 1985 y 1989 con la observación etnográfica en la comunidad salvadoreña de San Francisco, California, durante tres años. Esta perspectiva longitudinal le permite llegar a conclusiones innovadoras, bien sustentadas, sobre la naturaleza de las redes sociales de estos inmigrantes. El libro está estructurado en ocho capítulos, más la introducción y dos apéndices con detalles metodológicos. En la introducción, Menjívar explica el objetivo del libro, que consiste en “entender el funcionamiento interno de las redes sociales de los inmigrantes salvadoreños (en los Estados Unidos) e (.) identificar las razones potenciales para su inestabilidad”. Como eje para la discusión, se parte de la supuesta relación entre la (in)estabilidad de las redes y la estructura de oportunidades que los inmigrantes encuentran en los países de destino. Aquí también la autora discute que la constitución, transformación y disolución de redes constituye un proceso dinámico, sujeto a factores de índole cultural o ideológica y al contexto económico y político de acogida. El capítulo 1 (“Estructura de oportunidades, redes sociales y posición social”) consiste en una revisión muy completa de la literatura sobre las redes sociales. Primero, la autora discute el surgimiento, evolución y crítica del concepto redes sociales, ilustrando esta discusión con investigaciones empíricas que analizan desde diferentes ángulos el concepto (por ejemplo, el uso diferenciado que hacen hombres y mujeres de dichas redes). Segundo, defiende que los factores estructurales de las sociedades de destino afectan decisivamente a la dinámica interna de las redes, de tal manera que estos factores pueden limitar la generación de capital cultural y social entre los inmigrantes. Por último, aborda teóricamente la discusión sobre la naturaleza cambiante de las relaciones sociales que guardan los inmigrantes, vista desde la posición que tienen los individuos en la sociedad, el RESEÑA BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Sequential information dissemination and relative market efficiency

Research in the area of capital market efficiency with respect to information generally considers only the two conclusions that the market is efficient or it is.not efficient; information is either instantaneously reflected in prices or it is not. We investigate a market structure in which individual traders may require differential time lags to respond to new information, either because of time lags in acquiring the information or because of differences in ability to process received information quickly. In the context of this market, we argue that the dichotomous view of efficiency versus inefficiency is not useful; rather it is meaningful to measure the relative efficiency of the market. We develop a measure of relative market inefficiency and investigate properties of the measure. Then we consider economic determinants of the degree of market inefficiency and review our measure of inefficiency against the criteria proposed by Goldman and Sosin (1979).
Relationship between Neumann solutions for two-phase Lame-Clapeyron-Stefan problems with convective and temperature boundary conditions

We obtain for the two-phase Lame-Clapeyron-Stefan problem for a semi-infinite material an equivalence between the temperature and convective boundary conditions at the fixed face in the case that an inequality for the convective transfer coefficient is satisfied. Moreover, an inequality for the coefficient which characterizes the solid-liquid interface of the classical Neumann solution is also obtained. This inequality must be satisfied for data of any phase-change material, and as a consequence the result given in Tarzia, Quart. Appl. Math., 39 (1981), 491-497 is also recovered when a heat flux condition was imposed at the fixed face.

Successful Governance Reforms in Two Indian States: Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh

Abstract No systematic, overall agenda for governance reform has ever been developed by national leaders in India. Each recent government in New Delhi has experimented with certain initiatives, but these have never added up to a fully elaborated strategy. To a great extent, this is explained by national leaders' awareness that most of the actual governing in India occurs at and below the state level in this federal system, and that the Constitution gives state governments control over several key areas in which governance reform might be attempted. They have also recognised that several state governments, led by a diversity of parties, have developed promising governance reforms – so national leaders' reforms have often consisted substantially of ideas borrowed from the state level. There are important exceptions to this – not least the recent passage of a Right to Information Act by the Congress-led government in New Delhi. But a great many promising governance reforms in India have emerged at the state level.
Prevalence and intensity of Oestrus ovis in sheep and goats in south-eastern part of Turkey

Oestrosis is a parasitic disease which is prevalent among sheep and goats in Mediterranean region. Slaughter house surveys to determine the prevalence and intensity of infestation by Oestrus ovis Linnaeus (Diptera: Oestridae) in sheep and goats, were conducted monthly for one year in south-eastern region of Turkey. A total of 804 heads belonging to 724 sheep and 80 goats were examined for Oestrus ovis larvae between May 2014 and April 2015. 72.75% of sheep heads and 50% of goat heads were seen to be infested with Oestrus ovis larvae. Of a total of 4723 larvae found in sheep heads, 2245 were detected to be first instars larva, 1231 second instars larva, 1247 third instars larva. Of a total of 259 larvae detected in goats, 150 were first instars larva, 79 second instars larva, 30 third instars larva. The mean of larval burden per infested animal was significantly higher in sheep (8.8±5.9) than in goat (6.5±5.0) (P < 0.05). Monthly distribution of first, second and third instars larvae indicate that adult flies are active between April and end of September, first instars larvae enter hypobiotic period in October. In conclusion, it was revealed that to use an effective drug against Oestrus ovis that will be done during reproductive period of flies should start in April and continue until the end of summer due to high rates of oestrosis, parasite treatment that will be done when reproductive period ends should be done in October and November in the southeast part of Turkey.

The sample is a part of the B3-VLA sample: 1050 radiosources selected from the B3 catalogue at 408 MHz and observed at the VLA (1465 MHz, C and A congurations). Out of the 352 sources, identied on the POSS-I down to mr 20:0, 172 are quasar candidates. In this paper we give the nal assessment of the quasar sample from spectroscopic observations of the candidates. The nal complete quasar sample consists of 125 objects. Furthermore 3 Bl Lac objects have been identied and two Bl Lac candidates.
PHENOTYPIC AND GENOTYPIC CHARACTERIZATION OF FUGA CATTLE BREED BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF MICROSATELLITES MARKERS

A survey was conducted through questionnaire guided interviews with cattle owners (household survey) in selected districts in Fuga cattle habitats. Five villages were selected according to the clustering of villages within the district and accessibility. A set of detailed structured questionnaires were prepared and used to collect information from a total of 150 cattle owners in fuga cattle area. The questionnaires were pre-tested to check clarity and appropriateness of the questions. Some of the information collected during interviews was supported by observation. Milk yield per lactations , milk yield per day ,lactation length , age at first calving ,Calving interval, number of services per conception ,and weight of birth of Fuga cattle breed were presented (1100.96±86.18 kg, 5.26±0.29 kg, 208.60 ± 5.37 days, 40.49, 15.90± 0.44 months, 2.27±0.7 and 22.06±0.44kg) respectively. The population structure and genetic diversity were analyzed using nine microsatellite markers, These markers showed a high level of polymorphism; 64 alleles were identified. The mean number of alleles per locus was 7.11. The mean expected heterozygosity was (0.725) lower than the mean of observed heterozygosity which was (0.778), Polymorphic information content(PIC),Showed substantial variation in PIC among the markers. The mean PIC was 0.664. FST value in all loci was within the average of 0.149.

Understanding Student-Weighted Allocation as a Means to Greater School Resource Equity

As attention shifts to how districts allocate resources to schools, student weighted allocation has emerged as an alternative to traditional staff-based allocation policies. Student-weighted allocation uses student need, rather than staff placement, as the building block of school budgeting. This article examines how the shift to student-weighted allocation affected the pattern of resource distribution within 2 districts: the Houston Independent School District and Cincinnati Public Schools. This study provides evidence that student-weighted allocation can be a means toward greater resource equity among schools within districts. Resource equity is defined here in per-pupil needs-weighted fiscal terms.
The Challenges of Globalization and the Use of Children’s Literature in Achieving Cultural Literacy in Nigeria

In the past, Africans attached great value to the transmission of their values and norms to their younger generation. This was done through oral traditions, such as story telling, songs, lullabies, riddles, plays and more. This emphasises continuity and cultural preservation . Cultural transmission aims at producing a generation who will sustain the communities’ values like honesty, perseverance, diligence, good community and brotherly relationship. Children’s Literature refers to quality books for children ranging from birth to adolescence; while globalization is the process of increased inter dependence and integration of cultures and values among nations, This paper thus, discusses the use of children’s literature as an instrument of achieving national integration in the era of globalization. It also examines the relevance of children’s literature to the society and asserts that children’s literature could be used to promote and sustain the national heritage. It will serve as a voice to forestall loss of our values. It proffers suggestions and concludes, . by stating how to achieve these aims.
Scaling the variation in Romance and Germanic nominalizations

We investigate the distribution of verbal and nominal layers in Romance and Germanic nominalizations. Specifically, we examine pairs of ‘verbal’ vs. ‘nominal’ nominalizations in two Romance (Spanish & Romanian) and two Germanic (English & German) languages. Our study proposes a large spectrum of nominal and verbal properties. While these are differently instantiated among languages, the variation we find cannot be attributed to a Germanic vs. Romance parameter; instead, we find micro-variation constrained by the compatibility between the general building blocks of verbal and nominal categories. Besides the vP-layers responsible for argument structure and Aktionsart and the DP-layer responsible for the nominal external syntax, we make a case for further functional verbal and nominal layers in nominalizations: Asp(ect)P, Class(ifier)P, and Num(ber)P. These projections are in complementary distribution in some languages and co-occur in others.
Utilizing leadership to achieve high reliability in the delivery of perinatal care

Highly reliable care requires standardization of clinical practices and is a prerequisite for patient safety. However, standardization in complex hospital settings is extremely difficult to attain and health care leaders are challenged to create care delivery processes that ensure patient safety. Moreover, once high reliability is achieved in a hospital unit, it must be main- tained to avoid process deterioration. This case study examines an intervention to implement care bundles (a collection of evidence-based practices) in four hospitals to achieve standardized care in perinatal units. The results show different patterns in the rate and magnitude of change within the hospitals to achieve high reliability. The study is part of a larger nationwide study of 16 hospitals to improve perinatal safety. Based on the findings, we discuss the role of leadership for implementing and sustaining high reliability to ensure freedom from unintended injury.
Yield and economics of direct seeded rice as influenced by nitrogen and weed management practices

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, during rainy (kharif) season of 2015 and 2016 to study the effect of nitrogen and weed management in direct seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.) under irrigated condition. The experiment comprised of 24 treatments including all the combinations of 4 nitrogen and 6 weed management treatments. The results indicated that the maximum filled spikelets, fertility percentage, yield, gross returns, net returns and B: C ratio were recorded under nitrogen application of ¼ N basal + ¼ N at active tillering stage + ¼ N at panicle initiation stage + ¼ N at heading stage which was statistically at par with 1/3 N at basal + 1/3 N at active tillering stage + 1/3 N at panicle initiation stage and significantly higher than remaining nitrogen treatments. The minimum filled spikelets, fertility percentage, yield, gross returns, net returns and B:C ratio were recorded under nitrogen application of ½ N basal + ¼ N at active tillering stage + ¼ N at panicle initiation stage. Among weed management practices, significantly the maximum filled spikelets, fertility percentage, yield, gross returns, net returns and B:C ratio were recorded under application of bispyribac at 25 g a.i. ha-1 + azimsulfuron at 17.5 g a.i. ha-1 + NIS (0.25 %) at 15-20 DAS was significantly superior over other treatments.
CLUSTER SURVEY ( SOS ) . 0 . TARGET SELECTION AND DATA ANALYSIS

Star clusters are superb astrophysical laboratories containing cospatial and coeval samples of stars with similar chemical composition. We initiate the Sejong Open cluster Survey (SOS) a project dedicated to providing homogeneous photometry of a large number of open clusters in the SAAO Johnson-Cousins’ UBV I system. To achieve our main goal, we pay much attention to the observation of standard stars in order to reproduce the SAAO standard system. Many of our targets are relatively small sparse clusters that escaped previous observations. As clusters are considered building blocks of the Galactic disk, their physical properties such as the initial mass function, the pattern of mass segregation, etc. give valuable information on the formation and evolution of the Galactic disk. The spatial distribution of young open clusters will be used to revise the local spiral arm structure of the Galaxy. In addition, the homogeneous data can also be used to test stellar evolutionary theory, especially concerning rare massive stars. In this paper we present the target selection criteria, the observational strategy for accurate photometry, and the adopted calibrations for data analysis such as color-color relations, zero-age main sequence relations, Sp MV relations, Sp Teff relations, Sp color relations, and Teff BC relations. Finally we provide some data analysis such as the determination of the reddening law, the membership selection criteria, and distance determination.
