A school should follow ‘learning methodology’ (like activity based learning, active learning methodology, etc.), the examination is built within the learning process, which means that there is no separate exam. Students do selfevaluation, projects, etc. while they are learning the content. Here examination is done on the basis of students’ learning. Exams are necessary in schools to find out the real skills, talents and knowledge of the students. But practically this is not done therefore the researcher felt the need to conduct a study to formulate a question paper which measures and values the student’s IQ,EQ,SQ and Skills Developed in the students and researcher wanted to identify the pros and cons of board examination, the understand the psychology of students and various challenges encountered in conducting the board exams. The researcher used SPSS package to analyse the questionnaire and used certain statistical tools such Frequency Analysis, ANOVA , Regression, Factor Analysis etc. to find out that board examination does not inculcate reasoning ability in the minds of the students neither it makes the students to learn with understanding. and it does not test their general knowledge. Board Examination at the same time with few negativity induces problem solving technique and develops social skills though verbal ability and speed of logical reasoning is not tested through questions. Therefore the researcher advises to revise the pattern of exam giving students a stress free environment, carrying general knowledge and logical ability

This study purposed and evaluates a method based on weighted K-NN classification of surface Electromyogram (sEMG) signals. The sEMG signal classification plays the key role in designing a prosthetic for amputee persons. Wavelet transform is new signal processing technique, which provides better resolution in time and frequency domain simultaneously. Due to these wavelet properties, it can be effectively used in processing the sEMG signal to determine certain amplitude changes at certain frequencies. This paper propose a Maximal overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT) approach for Weighted K-NN classifier for classification of sEMG signals based Grasping movements. At level 5 signal decomposition using MODWT, useful resolution component of the sEMG signal is obtained. In this paper Time-domain (TD) features set is used, which shows a decent performance. In WKNN, use a square-inverse weighted technique to improve the performance of the K-NN. Hence, a novel feature set obtained from decomposed signal using MODWT is used to improve the performance of sEMG for classification. MODWT was used for de-noising and time scale feature extraction of sEMG signals. Several WKNN classifiers are tested to optimize classification accuracy and computational problems. PCA is use to reduce the size of the level 5 decomposed data. WKNN performance evaluation on K=10 values with or without PCA. Six hand grasping movements have been classified, results indicate that this method allows the classification of hand pattern recognition with high precision.

This paper refers to implementation of Low Power Built-In-Self-Test (LBIST) and its utilization for testing of 16 bit ALU core. Low Power Test Pattern (LP) Generator is programmable and able to produce pseudorandom test patterns. The programmability feature brings in selectiveness in toggling levels of test patterns. This helps to increase the error coverage gradient. This low power pattern generator consists of a pseudo random pattern generator (PSPR) which can be a linear feedback shift register or ring generator. The test pattern generator allows the production of binary sequences by devices with that selected toggling rate is defined as ‘Preselected toggling’ (PRESTO) activity. In this methodology, controls for operation of generator are selected automatically. Selection of all the controls is made simple and accurate for the tuning. Using this method fault coverage of test pattern generator can be improved as well as pattern count ratio gets improved. The proposed low power test compression method helps to get predictable test patterns. Here preselected toggling based logic BIST is used to get flexible and accurate test patterns hence high quality testing is achieved here with integration of PRESTO and LBIST method.

Authors: Ojha (Mrs) Parveen , Prakash (Mrs) Seema
Published: August 2019

Brachial artery in arm is commonly used for percutaneous arterial catheterization, angiography, vascular flaps for reconstructive surgeries, and can
be injured in fractures of arm or elbow region. Knowledge of variations in branching pattern is must for all clinicians and especially for vascular and
orthopaedic surgeons to avoid complications like haemorrhage, ischemia and necrosis during various surgical procedures. This study was done to
observe variations in branching pattern of brachial artery in cadavers and its clinical applications. The study was conducted on eighty upper limbs
of 40 cadavers (30 males and 10 females) of age group 50-70 years in the Dept of Anatomy, R.N.T. Medical College, Udaipur (Raj). In 30 cadavers
branching pattern of brachial artery was normal. In 10 cadavers either unilaterally or bilaterally variable branching pattern was noticed in the form
of (1) Absence of profunda brachial artery (2) Origin of Profunda brachii artery from axillary artery (3) Termination of brachial artery i.e. in the
middle of arm into radial and ulnar artery (4) Termination of brachial artery in arm into medial and lateral branches continuing distally as radial and
ulnar artery respectively. Genetic predisposition, chemical factors or hemodynamic forces can be the reasons for arterial variations in the upper
limb.

Published: August 2019

Caves are valued for their scientific, economic, educational, cultural, historical and aesthetic importance.  Because of this, the Philippine government has continuously implemented numerous initiatives for the protection and preservation of caves.  To this end, many groups and agencies are conducting an assessment on the potential of caves for ecotourism purposes.  This study was done to assess the Kabugan Cave in Brgy. Tagukon, Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental, Philippines. Specifically, it aimed to assess the biophysical condition of the cave, determine the faunal and floral species composition, the threats and the present use of the cave, and cave viability for ecotourism destination. The cave was 430.0 meter away from the main road and accessible by all means of land transportation. The surface was vegetated with different endemic and exotic plant species. Three vertebrate such as bats “Ptenochirus jagori”, birds “Aeodramus fuciphagus” frog “Platymantis species” and one invertebrate like  Tailless whip scorpions “Amblypygi” that considered few. The cave is used as playing ground and resting area of the farmers. Source of drinking water was observed within the vicinity of the cave. Anthropogenic activities such as vandalism, graffiti, and hole digging inside the cave were drastically observed. The cave got an average assessment score of 0.62 and is classified as Class 3. This means that the cave is potential for ecotourism and safe to cater visitors for exploration, educational tour, research and other forms of documentation. It is recommended that Kabugan Cave should include in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as a potential for ecotourism.

Authors: Bowling Judith E.
Published: August 2019

Background:

Because of frequent changes in health care, nursing requires lifelong learning. Information learned in nursing school is not enough. To deliver quality patient care throughout their career, nurses need to keep up with these changes.

Method:

This quantitative study explored using repetitive text messaging to improve retention of information to help nurses keep up with the perpetual changes in nursing. Participants attended a class, took an examination, and then were placed randomly in either a control or an experimental group. The experimental group received text messages with key details from the class, whereas the control group did not receive text messages. Participants took the examination again and group pretest–posttest scores were compared.

Results:

The experimental group showed statistically significant improvement in the final examination scores, whereas the control group showed no significant difference.

Conclusion:

The results demonstrated that repetitive text messaging can be used to enhance retention of information.

Authors: Sánchez Raquel
Published: August 2019

Los documentos de valor (monedas, sellos, billetes) portan imágenes con referentes identitarios. A través de ellos circula entre la población un discurso político que remite a la nación, la república, la monarquía, el imperio, Europa, etc. Este artículo se propone estudiar este fenómeno en relación con la fijación de una imagen de la nación asociada a la monarquía a través del sello postal. El diálogo entre Estado, Monarquía y Nación a través de la imagen y el texto estampados en el sello nos permite estudiar las consecuencias que estos elementos iconográficos y textuales tuvieron sobre el imaginario político. La cotidiana visualización de la Corona a través del sello postal, con la cabeza del monarca y/o el escudo nacional, había de contribuir a fijar en la mente de los ciudadanos el icono de la nación liberal del que la reina y el rey eran símbolos.

Authors: Mbuthia Anne N. , Mwangi Eunice M. , Ong'ombe Musa O.
Published: August 2019

Background: The World Health Organization in 2002 recommended implementation of a quality system for national blood programmes to ensure adequate and safe blood products to patients. Key elements of the quality system include organisational management, standards, documentation, training and assessment.Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the extent to which organisational management, which is the first element of a quality system, has been implemented in hospitals in Nairobi County, Kenya.Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was used. Sixty health workers were selected as respondents from 15 hospitals that provide blood transfusion services in Nairobi County. The data collection period was from June to August 2015 and the data were analysed in 2016.Results: Faith-based hospitals had the lowest level of organisational management implementation (33.3%), private hospitals had 42.5%, whereas government hospitals had the highest implementation (60%). The extent of implementation was based on performance of the senior management team, overall rated by the respondents at 40.1%, establishment of hospital transfusion committees in nine (60%) of the hospitals and appointment of key staff – quality officers in three (20%) hospitals and blood transfusion specialists in six (40%) hospitals. These key staff were instrumental in steering the quality system and ensuring sound blood transfusion practices.Conclusion: The implementation of quality management systems in hospital blood transfusion services can be improved through commitment from senior management teams, who should provide the necessary resources for employment of key staff and establish and empower hospital transfusion committees to guide the blood transfusion services.

Background:

The large-scale National Lung Cancer Screening Trial demonstrated an increased detection of early-stage lung cancers using low-dose computed tomography scan in the screening population. It also demonstrated a 20% reduction of lung cancer-related deaths in these patients.

Aims:

Although both solid and subsolid lung nodules are evaluated in studies, subsolid and partially calcified lung nodules are often overlooked.

Materials and Methods:

We reviewed transthoracic fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cases from lung nodule patients in our clinics and correlated cytological diagnoses with radiologic characteristics of lesions. A computer search of the pathology archive was performed over a period of 12 months for transthoracic FNAs, including both CT- and ultrasound-guided biopsies.

Results:

A total of 111 lung nodule cases were identified. Lesions were divided into three categories: solid, subsolid, and partially calcified nodules according to radiographic findings. Of 111 cases, the average sizes of the solid (84 cases), subsolid (22 cases), and calcified (5 cases) lesions were 1.952 ± 2.225, 1.333 ± 1.827, and 1.152 ± 1.984 cm, respectively. The cytological diagnoses of three groups were compared. A diagnosis of malignancy was made in 64.28% (54 cases) in solid, 22.72% (5 cases) in subsolid, and 20% (1 case) in partially calcified nodules. Among benign lesions, eight granulomatous inflammations were identified, including one case of solid, five cases of subsolid, and two cases of calcified nodules.

Conclusions:

Our study indicates that solid nodules have the highest risk of malignancy. Furthermore, the cytological evaluation of subsolid and partially calcified nodules is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and appropriate clinical management of lung nodule patients.
Runoff estimation using modified adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system

Rainfall-Runoff modeling plays a crucial role in various aspects of water resource management. It helps significantly in resolving the issues related to flood control, protection of agricultural lands, etc. Various Machine learning and statistical-based algorithms have been used for this purpose. These techniques resulted in outcomes with an acceptable rate of success. One of the pertinent machine learning algorithms namely Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) has been reported to be a very effective tool for the purpose. However, the computational complexity of ANFIS is a major hindrance in its application. In this paper, we resolved this problem of ANFIS by incorporating one of the evolutionary algorithms known as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which was used in estimating the parameters pertaining to ANFIS. The results of the modified ANFIS were found to be satisfactory. The performance of this modified ANFIS is then compared with conventional ANFIS and another popular statistical modeling technique namely ARIMA model with respect to the forecasting of runoff. In the present investigation, it was found that proposed PSO-ANFIS performed better than ARIMA and conventional ANFIS with respect to the prediction accuracy of runoff.
A mixed-method approach to the use of Colloquial Belgian Dutch in intralingual subtitling on Flemish television
Authors: Prieels Lynn , De Sutter Gert
Published: August 2019

This paper addresses the question to what extent Flemish subtitlers reproduce Belgian-Dutch colloquialisms of the spoken source text in the subtitles. Next to the official Belgian Standard Dutch language, Colloquial Belgian Dutch or tussentaal is frequently spoken on Flemish television. In this context, it is particularly interesting to investigate whether the subtitlers copy those spoken colloquialisms to the subtitles or whether they translate them into standard language. This study compares the language used in twenty television programs to the corresponding subtitles in order to verify the linguistic choices of the subtitlers. In addition, it will be examined whether the subtitles contain more lexical colloquialisms than morphological or syntactic colloquialisms, and whether the program genre influences these choices. The results reveal that Colloquial Belgian Dutch lexemes are more often reproduced in subtitles on Flemish television than morphological and syntactic colloquialisms. Furthermore, it is shown that especially the subtitles of entertainment and comedy programs contain tussentaal. Based on these results, we conclude that the demotization process in Flanders is not confining itself to the spoken registers, since it also manifests itself in certain written contexts.
An optimization for reducing the size of an existing urban-like monitoring network for retrieving an unknown point source emission

Published: August 2019

Abstract. This study presents an optimization methodology for reducing the size of an existing monitoring network of the sensors measuring polluting substances in an urban-like environment in order to estimate an unknown emission source. The methodology is presented by coupling the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm with the renormalization inversion technique and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling approach. This study presents an application of the renormalization data-assimilation theory for optimally reducing the size of an existing monitoring network in an urban-like environment. The performance of the obtained reduced optimal sensor networks is analyzed by reconstructing the unknown continuous point emission using the concentration measurements from the sensors in that optimized network. This approach is successfully applied and validated with 20 trials of the Mock Urban Setting Test (MUST) tracer field experiment in an urban-like environment. The main results consist of reducing the size of a fixed network of 40 sensors deployed in the MUST experiment. The optimal networks in the MUST urban region are determined, which makes it possible to reduce the size of the original network (40 sensors) to ∼1/3 (13 sensors) and 1∕4 (10 sensors). Using measurements from the reduced optimal networks of 10 and 13 sensors, the averaged location errors are obtained as 19.20 and 17.42 m, respectively, which are comparable to the 14.62 m obtained from the original 40-sensor network. In 80 % of the trials with networks of 10 and 13 sensors, the emission rates are estimated within a factor of 2 of the actual release rates. These are also comparable to the performance of the original network, whereby in 75 % of the trials the releases were estimated within a factor of 2 of the actual emission rates.
Global sinusoidal seasonality in precipitation isotopes

Published: August 2019

Abstract. Quantifying seasonal variations in precipitation δ2H and δ18O is important for many stable isotope
applications, including inferring plant water sources and streamflow ages.
Our objective is to develop a data product that concisely quantifies the
seasonality of stable isotope ratios in precipitation. We fit sine curves
defined by amplitude, phase, and offset parameters to quantify annual
precipitation isotope cycles at 653 meteorological stations on all seven
continents. At most of these stations, including in tropical and subtropical
regions, sine curves can represent the seasonal cycles in precipitation
isotopes. Additionally, the amplitude, phase, and offset parameters of these
sine curves correlate with site climatic and geographic characteristics.
Multiple linear regression models based on these site characteristics
capture most of the global variation in precipitation isotope amplitudes and
offsets; while phase values were not well predicted by regression models
globally, they were captured by zonal (0–30∘ and
30–90∘) regressions, which were then used to produce
global maps. These global maps of sinusoidal seasonality in precipitation
isotopes based on regression models were adjusted for the residual spatial
variations that were not captured by the regression models. The resulting
mean prediction errors were 0.49 ‰ for δ18O
amplitude, 0.73 ‰ for δ18O offset (and 4.0 ‰
and 7.4 ‰ for δ2H
amplitude and offset), 8 d for phase values at latitudes outside of
30∘, and 20 d for phase values at latitudes inside of
30∘. We make the gridded global maps of precipitation δ2H and δ18O seasonality publicly available. We also make
tabulated site data and fitted sine curve parameters available to support
the development of regionally calibrated models, which will often be more
accurate than our global model for regionally specific studies.
INTER-COMPARISON OF THE GLOBAL LAND COVER MAPS IN AFRICA SUPPLEMENTED BY SPATIAL ASSOCIATION OF ERRORS

Published: August 2019

Abstract. Recent advances in Earth Observations supported development of high-resolution land cover (LC) maps on a large-scale. This is an important step forward, especially for developing countries, which experienced problems in the past due to absence of reliable LC information. Nevertheless, increasing number of LC products is imposing additional validation workload to confirm their quality. In this paper inter-comparison of two recent LC products (GlobeLand30 and S2 prototype LC 20m map of Africa) for country of Rwanda in Africa was done. It is a way to facilitate validation by identifying the areas with higher probability of error. Specific approach of comparison of single pixel of one map with multiple pixels of another map provided confusion matrix and sub-pixel agreement table. In this work, accuracy indexes based on the confusion matrix were computed as a measure of similarity between the two maps. Furthermore, Moran’s I index was computed for estimation of spatial association of the pixels in disagreement. Also, total disagreement, as well as disagreement of particularly confused classes was visualised to analyse their spatial distribution. The results are showing that similarity of the two maps is about 66%. Disagreements are spatially associated and the most evident in the eastern and north-western part of the area of interest. This coincides also with the distribution of the two most confused classes Wetland and Shrubland. The results delineate areas of inconsistency between the two maps, and therefore areas where careful accuracy analysis are needed.
