Contour Maps Description of Natural Radiation in The Soil of Najaf Province
Authors: Abaas Emaad Kazim
Published: July 2022

The soil is one of the most important natural sources of ionizing radiation to which humans are exposed. Naturally, radionuclides such as 238U series,232Th series and potassium 40K radioisotope are widespread in the soil and are considered the main sources the terrestrial natural radiation. The study under investigation is regarded as one of the rare studies that deals with the effect of the contents of the radionuclides on levels of natural radiation, besides being helpful in drawing of radiological maps for the area under study. The gamma radiation has been measured to determine 238U, 232Th and 40K natural radioactivity in the soil of selected area in Najaf city, south western part of Iraq. Google Earth program was used to get an upper view picture or photo of the area of study. In addition to this photo, our study involved maps that supported by the center of engineering affairs in the University of Kufa to get a geographical location of area under the study. As soil surface samples, 30 soil samples were obtained in a methodical manner. These samples were investigated using gamma-ray spectrometry, which included a high-counting-efficiency NaI (Tl) detector with a 2"×2" crystal dimension linked to the amplifier via a unit of preamplifier, an analog to digital converter (ADC), and a multichannel analyzer (MCA) with 4096 Cassy type channels. The findings of our research were shown in contoured radiological maps and analyzed using the Gaussian frequency distribution. Finally, all radiation results in the area of study were lower than limits of the global average, and they were also compared to the values recommended by international authorities and 40determined to be within permissible limits
Carpentry in New Zealand: a text book for use by apprentices
Authors: Isaacs Nigel
Published: July 2022

The 1953 National Housing Conference explored a wide range of ways of dealing with the problems of post-WW II housing, including reducing the costs of construction. The New Zealand Master Builders' Federation in its conference proposal was clear that one way to reduce costs was by a skilled and educated workforce. They noted the need for "an authoritative text-book on carpentry and joinery, based on New Zealand building practice," and their proposal was adopted as Conference Resolution 17. A committee was formed to guide the content and form of the book, and anonymous staff from the Technical Correspondence School prepared the text. Geoffrey Nees (architect of Kelburn, Wellington) employed five draughtsmen to complete the nearly 500 illustrations. The 1948 book The Australian Carpenter by C Lloyd and the New Zealand Army Education Welfare Service (AEWS) series of five carpentry booklets formed the basis for this new book, which focused on the syllabus of the New Zealand Trade Certificate.Carpentry in New Zealand was published in June 1958 and was an immediate success with 33,600 copies printed by September 1973. A new cover and conversion to metric units occurred in 1977, with the third edition published in 1980. The final printing was in 1987.
Transforming an Edwardian boarding house into an urban marae at Auckland University College in 1954
Authors: Tyler Linda
Published: July 2022

In writing the history of art in Aotearoa/New Zealand, much attention has been focussed on the exhibitions and activities of painters and sculptors of the Māori Renaissance in the 1950s. Equally significant was the impetus given to reviving customary crafts through the Adult Education movement associated with the University of Auckland. The Maori Social and Economic Advancement Act of 1945 positioned the responsibility for preservation, revival and maintenance of "Māori arts, crafts, language, genealogy and history" with iwi, and led to the formation of the Maori Women's Welfare League in September 1951, with its agenda to perpetuate women's skills in Māori arts and crafts, and for these to be practised within an architectural context.

A Māori advisory committee was established in the Adult Education Centre at Auckland University College in 1945, tasked with mitigating Māori urban alienation through the teaching of Māori arts and cultural history to establish "pride of race and cultural achievement." In 1949, the first tutor for the Maori Adult Education Extension Programme was appointed, Maharaia Winiata (1912-60), followed by a graduate of the Rotorua School of Māori Arts and Crafts, Master carver Henare Toka (Ngāti Whatua) and his wife Mere. They recruited students from the Auckland University College Māori Club and pupils from Māori secondary schools to decorate the entrance hall of Sonoma House, 21 Princes Street, with kōwhaiwhai and tukutuku. Thus an Edwardian building was reborn as the University's Adult Education Centre, and was acclaimed for its biculturalism in the spring issue of Te Ao Hou in 1954.

Now 60 years old, the tukutuku panels have been preserved by present day Deputy Vice Chancellor Jim Peters in the ground floor of the University's Clocktower following the disestablishment of Adult Education. Seven of these tukutuku panels have recently undergone extensive conservation treatment, and they are recognised as highly significant examples of twentieth century weaving, exemplifying the approach to reviving customary tukutuku at mid-century in terms of the materials and techniques as well as patterns: muumuu, or purapura whetuu roimata toroa), waharua koopito, whakarua koopito, niho taniwha and nihoniho. They have now gone on display in pride of place in the University Clocktower. This paper will contextualise the changing meaning of these tukutuku panels from interior décor to historic design within the evolving narrative of customary Māori weaving practices.
Editor's Introduction
Authors: Whiteford Peter
Published: July 2022

In the 2021 June issue of the Journal (NS 33), Anna Green announced that it was to be her final issue as editor, a role she took up in 2013. The December issue last year was a Special Issue with a particular focus on Pacific Research in Aotearoa, so it is appropriate to begin this open issue with an acknowledgement of Anna’s exceptional work as editor of what is the most significant journal of New Zealand studies.  Only those who have themselves edited a journal over any length of time fully appreciate the challenges of the task—the more so when it evolves from a print journal to one that is wholly online. Anna’s stewardship of the Journal through that time has been exemplary, and that it remains a strong and vibrant home for the publication of research in New Zealand studies is its own tribute to her energy and her scholarly care for the field. Readers of the Journal are very much in her debt.

Reflections on Not In Narrow Seas: The Economic History of Aotearoa New Zealand 2
Authors: Betram Geoff
Published: July 2022

Studying history helps us to understand the present—how did we get to where we are today? In this sense, Brian’s book reads to me as an attempt to answer the question: where on earth did Rogernomics come from? Was it an organic, logical product of the past course of New Zealand society and economy or was it a temporary and ultimately unsustainable ideological capture of the state in what Bruce Jesson (cited by Brian on p. 99 of his book) called a “hollow society” lacking checks and balances?

Authors: Ibrahim Rabeea , Mohamed Aminath Shuaau
Published: July 2022

Environmental accountability has gained much-needed attention due to the growing concern about climate change and its impact. Given that environmental management has been a function of government, especially in developing countries like the Maldives, the country’s economy is dependent on its environment and natural resources, and the numerous efforts by the government toward environmental protection, promoting environmental accountability becomes crucial. At the heart of promoting environmental accountability lies the important role of public sector environmental performance audits. Through a qualitative research method of content analyses and unstructured interviews, this study aims to discuss the importance of environmental performance auditing in creating public sector accountability by alluding to the importance of environmental accountability and SAI Maldives’ role in creating public sector environmental accountability.

Step VEP visual acuity in a pediatric neuro-ophthalmological cohort
Authors: Alison M Mackay
Published: July 2022

Steady-state VEPs, have been used to estimate visual acuity since the 1970s and allow responses to a range of stimulus sizes to be collected rapidly- with particular utility in infants. However, the assessment of children with cortical visual impairment is a bigger challenge that lead to the development of the Step VEP. Its initial evaluation revealed that accuracy and precision were poorer for pediatric patients than for optically degraded normal adults and that it was not necessarily successful in every child. Statistical models generated the equations: VAO = 0.56 VAStep (r2 = 0.75, F = 60.93, p = 0.000) and VAPL = 0.45 VAStep (r2 = 0.82, F = 156.85, p = 0.000), supported by a recent a systematic review of VA comparisons showing that recognition VA (optotypes) agrees more closely than discrimination VA (PL) with VEP VA. In combination, Step VEPS and subjective tests allowed complete assessment in 96% of patients, with incomplete Step VEPS much more likely to be partially successful than not, and more likely to be partially successful than incomplete subjective tests. This supports the rationale that Step VEPs maintain attention by limiting the time spent stimulating away from an individual’s threshold of spatial resolution. For the small number of patients in whom VA cannot be estimated, alternative stimuli and methods of presentation are proposed.

The Efficacy of True Speech
Gorgias Between Rorty and Foucault
Authors: Serra Mauro
Published: July 2022

According to a widespread interpretation, in Gorgias’ philosophy of language there is no room for truth at all. The only aim of logos for him would be effective persuasion and speech would be constrained by nothing but persuasiveness itself. Referring to Encomium of Helen, I try to point out, however, that in Gorgias there is an attempt to investigate the complex relationship between truth and efficacy in the functioning of language. I also suggest that, seen from this perspective, Gorgias’ conception of truth shows significant points of contact with Rorty’s and, above all, Foucault’s thinking.
What Does 'To Know Something' Mean?
Plato and Wittgenstein on the Grammar of Knowledge
Authors: Bonnemaison Anthony
Published: July 2022

This paper provides an attempt to read some important aspects of Plato’s thought in the light of Wittgenstein’s analyses of the grammar (i.e. the ordinary linguistic uses) of knowledge. It focuses mainly on the infallibility of knowledge. Far from being specifically Platonic or even philosophical, infallibility belongs to the language-game of knowledge. My aim is to show that Plato makes a subtle use of this linguistic resource to justify his own ethical, epistemological and ontological views. Finally, I briefly compare the way in which each of the two philosophers understands the grammar of knowledge.
Australian Animal Law
Authors: Ellis Elizabeth
Published: July 2022

Australian Animal Law: Context and Critique provides comprehensive information about the legal and regulatory framework governing the interaction between humans and animals. By relating specific content areas to the discipline’s broader characteristics and themes, researcher Elizabeth Ellis exposes the systemic nature of current problems and the consequent need for significant change. This book also illustrates the role of official animal protection narratives in legitimising the existing system despite the many factual flaws they contain. Ellis covers the major areas of animal law in detail, incorporating accessible contextual material and allowing readers to consolidate their understanding and build upon their knowledge. Key areas include the concept of unnecessary animal suffering, the effective exemption of most animals from the operation of cruelty laws, regulatory conflicts of interest, the hidden nature of animal use and the lack of transparency in animal law.

Published: July 2022

Structural and geological studies were carried out as part of a comprehensive field research for studying the geological and structural characteristics in the area of the village of Boshnyakovo – the town of Shakhtyorsk (the Uglegorsky district, Sakhalin Island). It is shown that the change of the structural-facies zones of the Cenozoic section (from the Middle Eocene to the Lower Miocene) occurs in the Onnai – Goncharovka interfluve. Large slickensides have been documented in the supposed zone of the Lesogorsk-Uglegorsk earthquake of 1924 with MLH = 7.0. Detailed measurements of the spatial orientation of slickensides were carried out in order to reconstruct tectonic stresses by tectonophysical methods. There is a predominance of horizontal extension in the structure of the studied slickensides, less often horizontal extension in combination with shear.
Pigments in the bottom sediments of Aniva Bay (Sea of Okhotsk)

Published: July 2022

The data of spectrophotometric determination of the content of plant pigments in the bottom sediments of Aniva bay (the Sea of Okhotsk) obtained in autumn 2013 are presented. The content of sedimentary pigments is shown to be quantitatively related to the hydrological characteristics of the water column and the typological indicators of bottom sediments. The content of chlorophyll a with phaeopigments in the sediments of the bay is generally characterized by values of the oligotrophic category. The pigment characteristics of the bottom sediments of the bay are represented by the values of indicators that differ significantly from those of functioning plant organisms due to the strong degradation of the pigment fund. The prevalence of the concentration of phaeopigments over chlorophyll a, an increase in the contribution of additional chlorophylls to their total amount, as well as an increase in total carotenoids compared to chlorophyll a were noted. The ecological interpretation of the data obtained on pigments and pigment ratios gives an idea of the mechanism of interaction between production and destruction processes in water bodies, which gives to the pigment characteristics meaning of integral ecosystem indicators.
Qualitative imaging of elemental spatial distribution in stalagmites through laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis
Authors: Francischini Danielle , Amais Renata , Stríkis Nicolás , Arruda Marco Aurélio
Published: July 2022

The laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) technique is considered versatile for multi-elemental analysis and imaging because it is easy to handle, compatible with different types of solid samples, requires minimal sample preparation, and provides high spatial resolution and sensitivity. One of the challenges of imaging analysis is to obtain accurate and precise spatial information of elements distribution in the sample, so the optimization of the laser ablation (LA) parameters is essential. In this context, this study aimed to optimize the LA parameters for direct analysis of speleothem samples. Laser intensity, frequency, and spot diameter were evaluated through multivariate experimental design and multi-response data, the influence of ablation scan speed and the use of 44Ca as an internal standard (IS) for the qualitative image of 66Zn, 137Ba, 55Mn, 57Fe, 88Sr, 60Ni, and 26Mg distribution in the sample were also evaluated. The multivariate optimization revealed positive interactions between the parameters evaluated, i.e., the greater the laser intensity, LA frequency, and spot diameter, the greater the analyte signal and, thus the sensitivity. Therefore, 90% laser ablation intensity, 20 Hz repetition rate, and 100 µm spot diameter were selected. In the scan speed evaluation, the images obtained with 40 and 20 µm s-1 were very similar for all isotopes. The use of 44Ca as IS did not impact the resolution of the images. The use of 44Ca can provide important information about the speleothem formation and paleoclimate changes.
Urban Cultural Hierarchy through the Lens of a National TV Reporting
Authors: Such\'aček Jan
Published: July 2022

There are only few doubts on the importance of culture for urban life. This article deals with the culture
in Czech regional metropolises as it is reflected in the frame of the national TV reporting. The main objective
of this article was to analyse and assess contributions that concern culture in individual capitals
of self-governing regions in Czechia and are broadcasted within national TV coverage. The focal point of
this article was represented by culture-related contributions bound just to the 13 regional metropolises
in Czechia. The whole issue will be monitored from both quantitative and qualitative views. Contrary to
other media topics, cultural themes tend to be much more positive and generally improve images and
reputations of respective towns. In spite of the relevance of this topic, an amazingly small amount of
research has been accomplished on the culture in Czech regional metropolises as portrayed within national
TV coverage.
Law and State Practice in Azerbaijan: Dealing with the Issues Concerning the Search, Exhumation and Identification of Missing Persons in Conflict Zones
Authors: Sarkin Jeremy Julian
Published: July 2022

This article deals with missing persons in Azerbaijan. The issue of missing persons occurred because of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno- Karabakh region. About 5,000 people from all sides were reported as having gone missing by 2020. This article firstly contextualises the democratic and human rights situation in Azerbaijan since independence to understand the backdrop to the issues and why little progress has been made. It then examines what has been done, what the institutional framework is, and what the various problems are. It provides details on the issues concerning the search for, recovery, and identification of the missing. A newly reconstituted domestic State Commission for Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons has begun operating in the country but is not fully functional and needs to be more open and transparent, its membership ought to include civil society and the families of the missing, and it needs to do more actual searching. Ultimately, if progress is to occur, a process involving all parties to the conflict must be established. The article also finds that there are problems with the law concerning missing persons and that law reform is needed as the law is incomplete, vague, and complicated.
Ideologie sozialer Medien
Authors: Gaderer Rupert
Published: July 2022

Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit Enis Macis Essay to blend in/into sth (Nachruf), der im Essayband Eiscafé Europa (2018) publiziert wurde. Er konzentriert sich auf vier Momente, die für die medienliterarische Sondierung der Autorin relevant sind: Erstens geht der Beitrag der Frage nach, inwiefern Dispositive rechtsextremer Ideologien entschlüsselt und soziale Medien als ein relevantes Element eines Netzwerks normativer, personaler und technisch-apparativer Elemente beschrieben werden. Er arbeitet zweitens den von Maci gewählten medienarchäologischen Zugang heraus, der sich durch eine historische und materialistische Annäherung an Effekte sozialer Medien auszeichnet. Drittens untersucht der Beitrag Macis Ideologiekritik, die im Kontext von Theorien der ‚Anrufung‘ von Subjekten verortet ist. Und viertens wird Macis Freilegung imaginierter Weiblichkeit rechter Influencerinnen nachgegangen, die in einem Zusammenhang mit der Moderne als ‚facialer Gesellschaft‘ stehen. Unter diesen Prämissen konzentriert sich der Beitrag nicht auf die notorischen rechten Empörungswellen und Shitstorms, sondern beschreibt die Anrufung als eine Dynamik der Kollektivierung. Die anrufende Funktion äußert sich darin, dass im Augenblick der Botschaft keine Verletzung erfolgt, sondern das Kollektiv durch das Angenehme und Wohlige – „ein weiches Warmes“ (Maci (2018)) – konstituiert wird.

‘CARE OF THE SELF’ AND POLITICAL RESISTANCE IN KANT’S NOTION OF HUMAN DIGNITY: A ‘CRITICAL’ AND NOVEL EXPLANATION
Authors: PELE ANTONIO
Published: July 2022

This chapter shows that Kant’s notion of human dignity can be understood as a novel ‘care of the self’ and an ‘art of not being governed’. Drawing on a Foucauldian approach, it demonstrates that Kant intends to shape an ethical subject that strives for freedom and self-mastery. It also argues Kant’s idea of dignity embodies a political and spiritual form of resistance against dominant relations of power and subjectivities. Thanks to this novel perspective, this chapter also offers novel insights on the political force of human dignity. With Kant, this notion becomes a ‘government of the self by oneself’

Published: July 2022

This study aims to determine the implementation of general principles of good governance and the function of government in public services. The general principles of good governance can be understood as general principles that form the basis and procedures for the administration of good governance, thus governance will run well, politely, fairly and with dignity, free from injustice, violation of regulations, and acts of abuse. Authority and arbitrary action. With the AAUPB, it is hoped that the government as a public service provider can accept AAUPB as a legal norm that must be used as the basis for public service providers in carrying out their authority. There are two government functions, namely; first,the main function and second,the regulatory function

Broadening Convenience Samples to Advance Theoretical Progress and Reduce Bias in Developmental Science
Authors: Doebel Sabine , Frank Michael C.
Published: July 2022

Diverse samples are valuable to the study of development, and to psychology more broadly. But convenience samples—typically recruited from local populations close to universities—are still the most widely used in developmental science, despite the fact that their use leads to a vast over-representation of Western, White, and high socio-economic status participants in our studies. Do convenience samples still have a place in our research? While diverse samples are crucial to advancing developmental science, policies designed to encourage recruitment of such samples may not always succeed in improving sample diversity in ways that will benefit our theories and reduce bias. Further, convenience samples are just, well, convenient – and because their costs are lower, they allow for faster and more precise research. We suggest three paths forward to resolve this tension: 1) use theory and observed variation to choose aspects of diversity to prioritize in a particular study; 2) use online methods as an important route to broaden which samples are convenient; and 3) work in teams to achieve “inconvenient” samples using many different convenience populations.
Assessing public perception and awareness of UK mandatory calorie labelling in the out-of-home sector: using Twitter and Google trends data
Authors: Jones Andrew , Polden Megan , Robinson Eric
Published: July 2022

Objectives: In 2021 the UK government announced a new obesity policy requiring large out-of-home food outlets to provide mandatory in-store calorie labelling on food and drink items. This study aimed to examine public responses and awareness of the policy pre and post-implementation using Twitter comments and Google trends data. Methods: We examined responses to tweets from the UK Department of Health and Social Care detailing the policy and when it would be implemented and a post-implementation tweet stating the enforcement of the policy. The sentiments of the tweets were coded and the number of likes and replies extracted. We utilised google trends to examine public awareness of the policy by extracting weekly relative search volume for relevant phrases such as ‘calorie labelling’. Results: From the 276 replies/quote-tweet extracted, the majority expressed a negative sentiment towards the policy (N=197/ 71.4%). There were fewer tweets expressing a positive sentiment (N=25 / 8.7%) and a neutral/no sentiment (N=54 / 19.6%) towards the policy. There was no difference in the number of ‘likes’ or retweets between tweets expressing positive or negative sentiments. Five themes were identified expressing negative sentiments with the most common being the negative ‘impact on eating disorders’. Google trends data revealed increased searches for 'calorie labels/labelling' during the week of the policy enforcement compared previous weeks in the last 5 years. There was no significant difference in searches for specific menu calorie labelling in the weeks leading up to and post-intervention. Conclusions: This analysis revealed several negative responses and themes and increased awareness of calorie labelling relating to the announcement and implementation of the 2021 mandatory calorie labelling policy in England. A greater understanding of public responses to calorie labelling policies may help tailor future policies and public communication strategies
Diffusion Theory of the Antipodal "Shadow'" Mode in Continuous-Outcome, Coherent-Motion Decisions
Authors: Smith Philip L. , Corbett Elaine , Lilburn Simon
Published: July 2022

Continuous-outcome decisions, in which responses are made on continuous scales, are increasingly used to study perception and memory for stimulus attributes like color, orientation, and motion. This interest has led to the development of models of continuous-outcome decision processes like the circular diﬀusion model that predict joint distributions of decision outcomes and response times (RT). We use the circular diﬀusion model and a new spherical generalization of it to model performance in a continuous-outcome versionof the random dot motion task. The task is a benchmark test of decision models because it yields bimodal distributions of decision outcomes: In addition to a peak or mode in the true direction of motion, there is a secondary, antipodal, mode at 180◦ to the true direction. Models like the circular diﬀusion model, in which evidence is accumulated by a single process, are thought to be unable to predict bimodality. We compared diﬀusion models for the continuous motion task in which evidence is accumulated in either a 2D or a 3D representational space. We found that performance was well-described by a spherical (3D) diﬀusion model in which the drift rate encodes perceived motion direction and strength and the points on the bounding sphere representing the decision criterion are projectedonto a 2D circle to make a response. A model with an antipodal component of drift rate and drift-rate variability successfully predicted bimodal distributions of decision outcomes and the joint distributions of decision outcomes and RT for individual participants.

As teachers entered the 2021-2022 school year, schools tasked teachers with the challenge of closing the learning loss gap, maintaining the same standards as a typical school year, implementing COVID-19 safety protocols, and teaching to grade-level grades standards. The current study used the theoretical framework of teacher demoralization to explore teacher morale and mental health at the end of the 2021-2022 school year. The sample included 830 PK-12 individual teachers from across the United States. Analysis used Pearson’s correlations and the hierarchical multiple regression model to determine predictor variables. The results found significant predictors for both teacher morale and mental health. Implications focus on steps school leaders can take to support teacher well-being.
Geographic, socio-demographic and school type variation in adolescent wellbeing and mental health and links with academic competence in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Marquez Jose , Lambert Louise , Cutts Megan
Published: July 2022

Interest in adolescents’ wellbeing and mental health is growing worldwide, but little research in this area has been conducted in certain world regions and countries such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Geographic, socio-demographic and school type differences in adolescent wellbeing and mental health are commonly observed in the field, and the UAE is a diverse country where these types of differences have been found for other outcomes (notably, academic). However, no prior national study has explored these differences in terms of wellbeing and mental health in this nation. In this study, we address this gap by investigating differences across emirates, gender, socio-economic status, immigrant status, school sector and school curriculum for overall life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, meaning and purpose in life, and internalizing difficulties. We use cross-sectional data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study from 2015 and 2018. We find substantial geographic, socio-demographic and school type differences in levels (2018) of wellbeing and mental health and declines (2015-2018) of wellbeing, and these differences vary across distinct domains. Results also confirm that there is no trade-off between academic competence and wellbeing and mental health, with evidence of a small positive association with wellbeing.

Published: July 2022

Self-help groups (SHGs) were originally formed to provide savingsand loans, but their function has evolved to include strengtheninggovernance and tackling social concerns such as gender and castediscrimination. Low-cost credit to the poor through SHGs hasbeen hailed as a significant poverty reduction tool in developingnations, although there is no evidence of its effectiveness. Thispaper, using primary survey data, compares the changes in differentsocio-economic factors of SHG women and non-SHG women.Three main dimensions have been assessed in this paper i.e. loansize, savings pattern, and women empowerment. We found thatSHG women have higher scores in the average womenempowerment index than women with no exposure to SHGs.SHG women on average use more loans for business purposesthan non-SHG women.

James J Hilgers of california introduced the Pendulum Appliance in 1992 as mechanism for Class II non complaince treatment. The appliance uses a nance acrylic button for palatal anchorage and 0.036” TMA springs to deliver a light and continuous force to upper molars distalization without affecting palatal button [1]. Pendulum appliance can also be used for molar protraction both unilateral or bilateral by reversing the spring bend back and activating towards the molar to be protracted.
A Brief Survey on the Inverse Galois Problem
Authors: Adhikari Bigyan , Nepal Tulasi Prasad
Published: July 2022

Inverse Galois problem (IGP) states whether any finite group is realizable as a Galois group over the field K. It is the question of the structure and representation of the Galois group and also questions its epimorphic images. So, it is called an inverse Galois problem. For K=ℚ (the field of rational number), it is called a classical inverse Galois problem (CIGP). This paper reviews the positive answer to the classical inverse Galois problem (CIGP) for all finite abelian groups and some finite non-abelian solvable groups. We also discuss this problem (CIGP) for some finite non-solvable groups in this paper. This problem still remains to solve, but if we find the true value of the statement ‘All subgroups of order m of the symmetric group (Sm) for all m are realizable as Galois group over ℚ’ then its truth value gives the answer of CIGP. We check this statement for m=1,2,3,4 and 5 in this paper, where we get that this statement is true. If this statement is true, then CIGP has a positive answer. But if this statement is false then CIGP has a negative answer.
Pseudo Noun Incorporation in Nepali
Authors: Barrie Michael , Jung Sihun
Published: July 2022

This article provides a preliminary investigation of pseudo noun incorporation in Nepali, investigating scope, object-verb adjacency, case-marking, the availability of demonstratives, and number marking/number neutrality. We show that caseless objects have many of the typical properties of PNI as has been discussed in other languages. We make some tentative remarks regarding the precise characterization of number, suggesting that Nepali projects a NumP. We show that, despite an unclear understanding of number, there is strong evidence that PNI is found in Nepali and can be understood structurally by positing a reduced structure for the PNI object. Specifically, the PNI object is a bare NumP, while a full object is a KP.

Neurotransmission in Visual Analyser and Bionic Eye. A Review
Authors: Lešták Ján
Published: July 2022

Aims: The aim of the work is to point out the transmission of electrical voltage changes in the visual analyser and thus the efficiency of the bionic eye. Material and methods: The review deals with the question of the transmission of electrical changes in visual path voltage under physiological and pathological conditions. In particular, it points to feedback autoregulatory damage not only of primarily altered cellular structures, but of all other, both horizontally and vertically localized. Based on the results of functional magnetic resonance imaging and electrophysiological methods, it shows the pathology of the entire visual pathway in three eye diseases: retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma. Results: The thesis also provides an overview of possible systems that are used to replace lost vision, from epiretinal, subretinal, suprachoroidal implants, through stimulation of the optic nerve, corpus geniculatum laterale to the visual cortex. Conclusion: Due to the pathology of neurotransmission, bionic eye systems cannot be expected to be restored after stabilization of binocular functions.

Published: July 2022

Aims: The main aim of this work was to find out if there is a correlation between vessel density (VD) and results of measured perfusion values in ophthalmic artery and in central retinal artery of the same eye in a group with hypertension glaucoma (HTG).

Materials and methods: The file included 20 patients with HTG, thereof 13 women of average age 68.7 years (49–80 years) and 7 men of average age 58.4 years (27–81 years). Criteria for inclusion in the study: visual acuity 1,0 with possible correction less than ±3 diopters, approximately the same changes in visual fields in every patient, intraocular pressure (IOP) less than 18 mmHg, no other ocular or neurological diseases. VD was measured by Avanti RTVue XR by Optovue firm, perfusion parameters were measured using Doppler ultrasound with Affinity 70G machine by Philips firm. The peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end diastolic velocity (EDV) and resistance index (RI) were measured both in ophthalmic artery (AO) and in central retinal artery (CRA). Visual field (VF) was examined by quick threshold glaucoma program by Medmont M 700 machine. The sum of sensitivities in apostilbs (abs) was evaluated in the range 0–22 degrees of visual field. The results of sensitivities in visual field were compared to VD and perfusion parameters in CRA and AO of the same eye.

Results: Pearson’s correlation coefficient (p = 0,05) was used to assess the dependency between chosen parameters. By comparing VF and VD from measured areas, strong correlation (r = 0.64, resp. 0.65) was revealed. It was then proved that VD (WI-VDs) correlates with RICRA weakly (r = -0.35) and moderately strongly (WI-VDa r = -0.4, PP-VDs r = -0.43 and PP-VDa r = -0.45). This means that with increasing resistance index in CRA the density in VD decreases. The other correlations between VD and perfusion parameters (PSV and EDV) in CRA and AO were not significant.

Conclusion: Measured values showed that the vascular component of VD has a huge impact on the changes in visual fields in HTG. Weak to moderate influence exists between VD and RI in CRA. OCTA has proven to be more suitable than Doppler ultrasound for determining the condition of blood circulation in the eye.
