Adult age differences in refreshing and elaboration and their consequences for working memory and long-term memory
Authors: Bartsch Lea Maria , Oberauer Klaus
Published: May 2019

Older adults show a pronounced decline in long-term memory (LTM), but the source of this deficit is still debated. The present study investigated whether deficient engagement in refreshing and elaboration at the level of working memory (WM) causes this deficit. Our results show that the benefit of refreshing in WM was unaffected by age. Refreshing had no effect on LTM in both young and older adults. Elaboration benefited LTM in young adults, but not in older adults. Therefore, the LTM deficit of older adults might arise at least in part from a deficit in the process of elaboration.

Introduction: It has been two decades Nepal has initiated safe motherhood programme in 1998, since then there has been significant reduction in maternal mortality and improvement in newborn care. Western Regional Hospital is the government referral hospital in western Nepal and has large volume of patients utilizing the safe motherhood services. This study is a review of one year of different safe motherhood services provided by this hospital.

Methods: The data from the hospital records section from Asoj 2073 (September - October 2016) to Bhadra 2074 (August - September 2017)has been extracted from the hospital record section and analyzed in terms to different services like antenatal visits, vaginal delivery, caesarean section, incomplete abortion and ectopic pregnancy. The obtained data was entered and analyzed using Microsoft Excel.

Results: Total of 42,798 patients had utilized the safe motherhood services during the study periods, majority of them being antenatal visits followed by vaginal and caesarean delivery. Some of the vaginal deliveries 490 (5.3%) were complicated which included vacuum delivery, intrauterine fetal death, twins and breech delivery. Among the total delivery 2316(24.8%) were caesarean sections, of which more than halves were due to emergency indications.

Conclusions: The safe motherhood program in Western Regional Hospital has positive impact on the maternal health in this region and further expansion of the services and facilities are recommended in coming days in scenario of increasing number of patients.
Knowledge and Attitude of Men on Contraception Methods
Authors: Silwal Suvekshya , Neupane Sujana
Published: May 2019

Family planning refers to a conscious effort by a couple to limit or space the number of children they have through the use of contraceptive methods. Family planning in the global health field often revolves around women and girls. It is often regarded as the woman's responsibility, but there is growing recognition of the need to involve men in family planning programs.

One of the most serious problems of developing countries still have to solve is their rapid and uncontrolled increase in population. It is well documented that men’s general knowledge and attitudes concerning the ideal family size, gender preference of children, ideal spacing between child births, and contraceptive method use greatly influence women’s preferences and opinions. Family planning has traditionally been viewed as the woman's responsibility, but there has been a growing recognition of the need to involve men in family planning programs as a means of achieving reproductive health objectives, as well as attaining greater gender equity.

Authors: Amgain Kapil , Budhathoki S.
Published: May 2019

Background: With the mission of providing easy and accessible health services/facilities for the people of backward areas by producing qualified and skillful health professionals, Karnali Academy of Health Sciences (KAHS) has been established in 2011, by an Act of parliament of Nepal. In the way of fulfilling its mission, PCL nursing program (2014), PCL in General Medicine (2015), Bachelor in Public Health (2018) and Bachelor in Midwifery Sciences (2018) programs have already started successfully; and next goal of our Academy is to start MDGP and MBBS in near future. In this context of its academic progress, KAHS is developing an ideal MBBS curriculum by introducing the recent innovation in the field of medical education.  

Method: This was the cross-sectional study conducting among 100 public, 50 medical students and 20 professors and faculties of TU, KU, PAHS and BPKIHS from June, 2018 to November, 2018. The data were collected with the help of three different set of semi-structured questionnaires. Moreover, we had gone through the MBBS curriculum of 10 Universities/Academy, and the data regarding the type of curricular strategies, credit hours and course contents of individual subject, academic calendar, schedule of community posting, and evaluation pattern were collect in the performa. The collected data were analyzed and presented in the tables.

Result: Present study found that out of 100 participants, almost all of the participants felt the need of one medical college and a well facilitated hospital in Karnali Province, especially in Jumla, with the qualified, skillful, patient-friendly medical doctors as well as other health professionals. After interviewed with the professors and faculties of various universities, we found that the integrated, community based and student centered curriculum had better level of understanding than the discipline based, teacher-centered MBBS curriculum. Out of the four prevailing MBBS curricula (TU, KU, PAHS and BPKIHS) in Nepal, all curricula incorporated the horizontal integration approach in basic sciences with early pre-clinical exposure and community posting. In addition to this, integrated MBBS curriculum of PAHS was fully problem-based, and community based.

Conclusion: Integrated, student-centered, community based, problem based as well as problem oriented innovative teaching-learning method outweigh the contemporary teacher-centered hospital-based learning in medical education. So, we would like to recommend the development of integrated MBBS curriculum based on the organ system for the proper implementation recent innovation of medical education.

Published: May 2019

Application of mineral carbon as carbonaceous reducing agents instead of coke for siliceous ferroalloys smelting is one of perspective ways of high efficient production of them. Results of industrial tests of expensive coke substitution by long-flame and brown coals during smelting of power-intensive ФС75 ferrosilicon presented. Tests were carried out at three ferroalloys plants of Russia and Kazakhstan. The following coals were used: long-flame coals of Shubarkol’skoe deposit (Kazakhstan), brown coals of Kajchasky open-pit mine (Kuzbass) and Majkyubenskoye deposit (Kazakhstan). The coals have Аd ash content at the level of 3–11%, high indices of reaction ability and specific electrical resistance, increased yield of volatile substances (Vdaf = 42–46%) and content of reducing components (CO, H2) up to 180–215 m3 /t (comparing with 11 m3 /t in coke). At the plant “A” the industrial tests resulted in coke substitution by 88–99% with the mixture, kg/charge: 20 – coal Б, 165–190 – coal Д and 35–60 – wood chips. Satisfactory technical and economic indices of ФС75 ferrosilicon production reached. Because of the volatile substances high yield of Д and Б coals (Vdaf = 44–46 %), an increased temperature of emitted gases (up to 240–270 °С) under the hood observed and at the gascleaning system (up to 160–170 °С). At the plant “B” during ФС75 smelting, the long-flame coal was used constantly to substitute the coke by 84%. At the plant “C”, Kazakhstan, a technological possibility of complete (100%) coke substitution by long flame coal determined. To transfer to cokeless production of siliceous ferroalloys with application of low metamorphized coals of Д and Б grades it is necessary to make considerable changes in existing mode of ferroalloys furnaces running to provide high technical and economic indices of the production. Another variant means construction of new furnaces, adapted to increased temperature of emitted gases, forming at the coals pyrolysis with high yield of volatile substances.

Perusahaan-perusahaan sukses menggunakan Internet, bukan semata-mata sebagai media periklanan atau alat pemasaran lain, tetapi sebagai mekanisme untuk mengubah perusahaan mereka dan mengubah segala sesuatu terkait dengan cara mereka berbisnis. Sebuah perusahaan pada saat akan membuat anggaran penjualan, langkah pertama kali yang dilakukan yaitu dengan membuat atau mempersiapkan forecast penjualan terlebih dahulu. Kegiatan ini bertujuan agar penjualan yang berfluktuasi pada tahun atau periode sebelumnya dapat lebih terarah. Untuk menunjang itu semua perlu adanya edukasi kepada masyarakat Indonesia tentang pemanfaatan teknologi melalui forecasting dalam meningkatkan penjualan bagi para remaja. Dengan memberikan informasi yang positif kepada generasi muda, diharapkan dapat menjadi landasan berpikir untuk bersaing dalam prestasi. Generasi muda yang sering kali tidak memanfaatkan peluang untuk melakukan pemanfaatan teknologi dalam entrepreneurship untuk meningkatkan penjualan. Para siswa biasanya hanya tertarik dengan sosial media. Para siswa mudah dipengaruhi berbagai pihak tanpa disadarinya, dan minat entrepreneurship siswa cenderung masih rendahKegiatan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi sebuah pengetahuan untuk meningkatkan wawasan siswa-siswa SMK Negeri 1 Brebes dalam memanfaatkan teknologi untuk meningkatan penjualan. Kegiatan ini akan dilaksanakan di SMKN 1 Brebes dengan siswa-siswi sebagai peserta. Metode yang akan digunakan bersifat edukatif dan community development karena pendidikan kepada masyarakat mengandung unsur pendidikan yang dapat mendinamisasikan masyarakat menuju kemajuan yang dicita-citakan yang ada di SMKN 1 Brebes dengan harapan kegiatan ini akan sangat membantu bagi generasi muda untuk menumbuhkan jiwa kewirausahaan.

Authors: Pham Loi Thi , Dao Khoi Nguyen
Published: May 2019

Assessing water resources under the influence of environmental change have gained attentions of scientists. The objective of this study was to analyze the impacts of land use change and climate change on water resources in terms quantity and quality in the 3S basin in the period 1981–2008 by using hydrological modeling (SWAT model). The results showed that streamflow and water quality (TSS, T-N, and T-P) tend to increase under individual and combined effects of climate change and land use change. In addition, the impact of land use change on the flow was smaller than the climate change impact. However, water balance components and water quality were equally affected by two factors of climate change and land use change. In general, the results of this study could serve as a reference for water resource management and planning in the river basin.
Fluidity and persistance of cultural narratives: Heritage tourism and cultural narratives for insiders and outsiders in Western Mongolia
Authors: Barcus Holly
Published: May 2019

Framed within contemporary debates about the implications of cultural heritage tourism for rural ethnic minority populations, this paper explores the case study of cultural heritage tourism in Bayan Ulgii Mongolia, juxtaposing arguments about place and identity with those of economic benefits. Preliminary results suggest that growing attention paid to the Kazakhs as aminority ethnic cultural group in Mongolia, and narratives of their lifeway persistence, increase international acknowledgement that mayfoster greater tourism. However, one of the key outcomes of the production of this heritage landscape is the consumption of ethnic cultural identity narratives by ethnic Kazakh out-migrants who desire to reinscribe “traditional cultural lifeways” in their children’s identities. This thus serves to promote a shared sense of identity amongst a rapidly dispersing population but also challenges the notion of production and consumption as competing, rather than complimentary processes, in emerging rural tourism locations of the Global South.

Published: May 2019

Based on the comorbidity of diabetes, depression, and dementia and recognizing that a deficiency of the nerve growth factor (NGF) is involved in all of these kinds of pathologies, we studied the effect of the mimetic of dimeric dipeptide NGF loop 4, GK-2, on a model of streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes in C57Bl/6 mice. GK-2 [hexamethylenediamide bis-(N-monosuccinyl-glutamyl-lysine)] was synthesized at the V.V. Zakusov Scientific Research Institute of Pharmacology. The study revealed the ability of GK-2 to ameliorate hyperglycemia induced by streptozotocine (STZ 100 mg/kg i.p.) in C57Bl/6 mice, to restore learning ability in the Morris Water Maze test, and to overcome depression after both intraperitoneal (0.5 mg/kg) and peroral (5 mg/kg) long-term administration. The presence of the listed properties and their preservation in the case of peroral treatment determines the prospects of research. Taking into account the previous findings on the ability of GK-2 to selectively activate PI3K/Akt, these data suggest that Akt-signaling is sufficient for pancreatic beta cell function. GK-2 has been shown to exhibit pronounced neuroprotective activity. The coexistence of neuroprotective and antidiabetic effects is in agreement with the fundamental concept holding that the function of neurons and pancreatic beta cells is controlled by similar mechanisms.
Neutralizing SQL Injection Attack on Web Application Using Server Side Code Modification
Authors: O. Sarjiyus , M. B. El-Yakub
Published: May 2019

SQL Injection attacks pose a very serious security threat to Web applications and web servers. They allow attackers to obtain unrestricted access to the databases underlying the applications and to the potentially sensitive and important information these databases contain. This research, “Neutralizing SQL Injection attack on web application using server side code modification” proposes a method for boosting web security by detecting SQL Injection attacks on web applications by modification on the server code so as to minimize vulnerability and mitigate fraudulent and malicious activities. This method has been implemented on a simple website with a database to register users with an admin that has control privileges. The server used is a local server and the server code was written with PHP as the back end. The front end was designed using MySQL. PHP server side scripting language was used to modify codes. ‘PDO prepare’ a tool to prepare parameters to be executed. The proposed method proved to be efficient in the context of its ability to prevent all types of SQL injection attacks. Acunetix was used to test the vulnerability of the code, and the code was implemented on a simple website with a simple database. Some popular SQL injection attack tools and web application security datasets have been used to validate the model. Unlike most approaches, the proposed method is quite simple to implement yet highly effective. The results obtained are promising with a high accuracy rate for detection of SQL injection attack.
Storage Preservation Using Big Data Based Intelligent Compression Scheme
Authors: S Ramya. , Krishnan. V Gokula
Published: May 2019

Big data has reached a maturity that leads it into a productive phase. This means that most of the main issues with big data have been addressed to a degree that storage has become interesting for full commercial exploitation. However, concerns over data compression still prevent many users from migrating data to remote storage. Client-side data compression in particular ensures that multiple uploads of the same content only consume network bandwidth and storage space of a single upload. Compression is actively used by a number of backup providers as well as various services. Unfortunately, compressed data is pseudorandom and thus cannot be deduplicated: as a consequence, current schemes have to entirely sacrifice storage efficiency. In this system, present a scheme that permits a more fine-grained trade-off. And present a novel idea that differentiates data according to their popularity. Based on this idea, design a compression scheme that guarantees semantic storage preservation for unpopular data and provides scalable data storage and bandwidth benefits for popular data. We can implement variable data chunk similarity algorithm for analyze the chunks data and store the original data with compressed format. And also includes the encryption algorithm to secure the data. Finally, can use the backup recover system at the time of blocking and also analyze frequent login access system.
Wellhead Power Plants Improvement by Introduction of Double Flashing Cycle
Authors: Mutero Thomas , Muchiri Peter , Mariita Nicholas
Published: May 2019

Kenya Electricity Generating Company Ltd (KenGen) has harnessed geothermal energy for over thirty seven years at the Olkaria geothermal field. The total installed capacity of geothermal energy in Kenya currently stands at 703.5 MW generated mostly by single flash and binary geothermal power plants. In the 1990s KenGen considered the Wellheads concept in which modular containerized single flash power plants were to be designed, customized and built on a wellpad for optimized well potential; this approach has largely been successful currently having an installed capacity of 83.5 MW and accounting for 15.7% of KenGen's total geothermal installed capacity. This was done to address an inherent deficiency in the construction of conventional geothermal power plants which was identified as the long period taken to put up the power plants. The wells that have been drilled by KenGen and GDC, tested and shut in awaiting the installation of power plants are rated at about 600 MW.
The Wellhead power plant cycle is a single flash geothermal power plant; this research intended to improve the current Wellheads power cycle by introducing a second low pressure separator to harness more energy from the wellheads, design a turbine to be driven by the low pressure steam and evaluate an economic justification for introducing the double flashing cycle. A case study was carried out at Wellhead 914 and Wellhead 915. Data collected indicated that the combined mass flow rate of brine from wells in the two wellpads was 240.4 tonne per hour. This brine was saturated at 13.5 bar-a and at a temperature of 193.40C as it exits the high pressure separator for disposal. The optimal pressure of the low pressure separation was designed at 2.5 bar-a, 127.40C and had an ability to generate 3871 kW of electric power. A turbine operating at a steam inlet pressure of 2.5 bar-a, a speed of 6804 rpm and having an exhaust pressure of 0.075 bar-a was designed. The designed turbine had 4 stages of both stationary and moving blades with a maximum rotor disc diameter of 0.62 meters and an output of 4195 kW.
The simple payback period for this project was estimated to be 1.9 years with a rate of return on investment of 42.24%. This would also minimize energy wastage by improving efficiency and footprints on the environment arising from the Wellhead power plants.

To determine the possibility of using sugar- cane bagasse (SCB)and ground nut shell particulate(GNSP) waste as reinforcing ?ller in the thermo plastic polymer matrix, SCB&GNSP-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared. The PP and SCB and GNSP composites were prepared by the extrusion of PP and GNSP with 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt % of SCB and GNSP with 3,6,9 and 12% filler in a co rotating twin screw extruder.. The extruded strands were cut into pellets and injection molded to make test specimens. These specimens were tested for physical and mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, Izod impact strength shore D hardness and water absorption. It was found that the Tensile strength increased from 29.06 to 31.38 MPa, Flexural strength increased from 28.62 to 43.56 MPa, Izod impact strength decreased from 35.11 to 30.93 J/m, and Shore D Hardness increased from 64.88 to 77.89, with increase in filler loading from 5 to 20% in the PP matrix. The decrease in Izod Impact strength and elongation with addition of SCB & GNSP filler to PP matrix follows the general trend of filler effects on polymer matrix. However, the main purpose of this work was to study the effect of SCB & GNSP waste on the mechanical properties of the PP Composites. The SCB and GNSP waste can be used as filler in the PP composites, which will reduce cost and give environmental benefits.
A Study of External Debt Trap Threat Faced by Indian Economy
Authors: Kukreja Mansi , Upadhyay Heena
Published: May 2019

A debt trap occur to a country when somebody takes debt on a high-interest rate acceptance and is barely able to disburse back the responsibility of interest, thus being continuously trap in debt even by refinancing. Public debt is often a country’s major accountability: This is principally factual in developing countries, where a substantial sum of national income is exhausted repay such debt obligation. High debt servicing has thrown developing countries into a "debt trap", depriving them of the resources needed to secure long-term economic development and build up strong social and physical infrastructures. In current decades, unsustainable debt – mostly external – has brought country after country into deep economic crisis, with dramatic social consequences for their populations. This is a concealed virus eating India's Budget and it is quite untreatable. It is called a "debt trap" and its reason is simple — greed. India's problem is that it spends much more than it earns. That is all the term "fiscal deficit" means. The focus of paper in this study is to investigate the impact of debt on Indian economy and how government fills the gap between its earnings and spending through relentless borrowing.

Published: May 2019

Objective: To compare the effects of Intra cervical and paracervical block with 1% lidocaine for pain management in curettage of incomplete abortion.

Method: This study is a prospective study with Randomized Control Trial approach. The samples were 52 pregnant women with gestational age of less than 20 weeks, which diagnosed as having an incomplete abortion and a procedure using any local anesthetic technique. T test was used to calculate the mean VAS score and standard deviation for each group. Fisher Exact test was used to assess the relationship between variable characteristics and the local anesthetic technique.

Result: The use of local anesthesia using intra cervical block technique for pain management in incomplete abortion with curettage proved to be more effective in lowering degree of pain than paracervical block techniques.

Conclusion: Intracervical block technique as a local anesthetic technique is simpler and relatively safer than paracervical block. This technique can be used extensively in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Medical Faculty, Hasanuddin University for pain management in curettage.

Published: May 2019

Objective: To compare the sensitivity and specificity of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) levels to assess the response of radiation therapy.

Method: The study was conducted by the method of analytic observational cohort study in 24 patients with cervical cancer stage II-B and III-B in RSCM that met inclusion criteria. Examination of VEGF and SCC in serum samples was performed in the Prodia Laboratory Jakarta. The examination was conducted twice before and after radiation therapy. The subjects were treated by radiation therapy/chemoradiation according to standard procedures. After the completion of radiation was declared, the response of radiation therapy was conducted by clinical assessment.

Result: Of the 24 subjects, we obtained a mean level of SCC pre-radiation was 23.43 ± 5.84 ng/ml and post-radiation was 2.19 ± 0.68 ng/ml. The mean VEGF pre-radiation was 790.41 ± 111.06 pg/ml and post-radiation was 497.47 ± 79.26 pg/ml. ROC curves of each tumor marker obtained SCC pre-radiation AUC 40%, p 0.53 (CI 0.18-0.68) and SCC post-radiation AUC 48.1%, p 0.91 (CI 0.21-0,75) can not be used as a diagnostic and prognostic factors of response to radiation therapy. VEGF pre-radiation produced an AUC of 17.5%, p 0.04 (CI 0.00-0.36), thus cannot be used as a prognostic factor for response to radiation therapy. VEGF after radiation produced an AUC of 92.5%, p 0.01 (CI 0.81-1.00), thus can be a diagnostic factor for response to radiation therapy. VEGF post-radiation with cut-off point 614.75 pg/ml had a sensitivity 80%, specificity 75%, NDP 94.12%, NDN 42.86%; RKP 3.2; RKN 0.26 and accuracy 79.16%. There is a significant correlation between the decrease of serum VEGF level post-radiation and a positive response of radiation therapy (p 0.01, CI 1.00-3.23).

Conclusion: Examination of VEGF levels can be used to assess the response of radiation therapy with a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 75%.
