Субэтнические группы алтайцев: противоречия и символы коллективной идентичности
Authors: Chemchieva Arzhana P.
Published: June 2017

В представленной статье рассматриваются современные этнические процессы, протекающие в среде алтайского этноса и его субэтнических групп. Дается краткий обзор содержания наиболее фундаментальных концепций классификации внутриэтнической структуры алтайцев в отечественной науке. Отмечается, что проблема этнической классификации коренного населения Алтая стала разрабатываться в этнографической науке с XIX в., но до настоящего времени остается дискуссионной.Актуализация проблемы внутриэтнической структуры алтайцев в постсоветский период связана с наделением его субэтнических групп статусом коренных малочисленных народов. Факт обретения правового статуса позволяет думать, что произошло конституирование новых этносов. Однако концепция распада алтайского этноса неплодотворна для целостного осмысления его современного развития, поскольку внутри этноса наблюдаются и объединительные этнические процессы.Путем анализа материалов двух всероссийских переписей населения (2002 и 2010 гг.) и этносоциологических исследований, проведенных в Республике Алтай с 2004 по 2016 гг. автор раскрывает современную этническую идентичность алтайских субэтносов и важнейшие символы коллективной идентичности алтайцев: историческая территория, язык, культура, общие корни, общая историческая судьба.Обосновывается мнение, что современные этнические процессы (как разделительные, так и объединительные) в среде алтайского этноса являются частью процесса самоопределения алтайских субэтносов. Указывается, что самоопределение алтайских субэтнических групп происходило в двух параллельных плоскостях: политической и этнической. В то же время политическое и этническое самоопределение алтайских субэтносов не были тождественны друг другу. Именно поэтому в настоящее время многие представители алтайских субэтнических групп, обладая политической идентичностью коренного малочисленного народа, продолжают считать себя частью как своей этнической группы, так и алтайского этноса в целом.

O Poder Executivo Federal brasileiro, desde a Constituição de 1988 até a recente edição do Decreto nº 8.243, de 2014, que instituiu a Política nacional de Participação Social, foi progressivamente estruturado de forma a permitir diversos canais de interação entre Estado e sociedade. Para compreender a maneira como ocorre essa interação e, principalmente, os tipos de resultados que é capaz de produzir, as análises focadas nas estruturas organizacionais demandam o aprofundamento do estudo dos elementos humanos por trás desses diálogos. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo delinear um perfil médio do burocrata federal que interage com a sociedade, e para isso utiliza os resultados do survey realizado em 2014 pela Escola Nacional de Administração Pública - ENAP sobre o perfil da burocracia de médio escalão do governo federal. É realizada uma análise de regressão estatística entre os atributos dos gestores que se manifestaram como mais habituados ao diálogo com atores não governamentais. Foram consideradas, entre outras características, a natureza do vínculo, o setor, o tempo de serviço, a experiência profissional e atributos como gênero, raça e escolaridade dos gestores.

In order to do the legal action, public officials often execute out of written law, this condition is a logic consequence, that the acts and others written laws are left behind in anticipating the development of the era, the change of values, and increasing need of human life along with the progress that they have achieved in science and technology. Therefore, to make legality principle on operational stage can be done as good as it could, so the development instrument of the discretion is needed, ironically, not the rare things, the use of discretion sometimes misuse by public officials, pretending bases on public need and legal certainty in fact they abandon civil rights, either individually, in group or even civil corporate body. To anticipate it all, another draft is required to control the discretion of public policy and/or act of public officials, and that draft is good governance, which usually assume as good governance system.

Act No. 30 Year 2014 on Government Administration (UU AP) instead of administrative law. The concept of public administration (AP) in Article 1.1 is governance in the decision and / or action by the official agency and / or government. When compared with the Dutch Algemene wet Bestuursrecht (AWB), it seems obvious differences. AWB moved from the concept of administrative law (bestuursrecht) while the AP is the starting point of government  dministration. That in AP there are aspects of administrative  law, but the concept of administrative law is confusing. On the basis, the common explanations of AP stating AP Act is a substantive law of the State Administrative Court system becomes a big question mark. AP Act provisions concerning Administrative Court is not based on a clear conceptual approach. On the basis, AP Act concerning Administrative Court is very difficult to apply in judicial practice as well as vague concepts is also contrary to the concepts of administrative law.

National development and improving standards of living will be increasingly difficult to achieve if the level of corruption is high. Therefore, it is necessary seriousness in its eradication, either through criminal law as well as through the civil law against the perpetrators of corruption and to the heirs. For that we need strict laws governing asset recovery corruption of the perpetrators and their heirs as part of participating jointly responsible for restoring the proceeds of corruption to the state. The main problem in this dissertation research is about the law of return on assets How does the conception of corruption by the offender and his heirs? The method used in this research is normative juridical method using qualitative data analysis with content analysis techniques. Based on the results, it can be concluded: First, the laws of corruption in recovering assets from corruption cases at this time is not perfect because only put money substitute against corruption proceeds of crime from the perpetrator. Meanwhile, the civil law norms materilnya against the heirs of the perpetrators of corruption has not been set. Second, the existence of Article 33 and Article 34 of Law No. 31 of 1999 just a gate that the heirs of the perpetrators of corruption can be sued if the perpetrator as the heir of the heir died while either not return the results to the state of corruption. It is necessary to formulate norms for about an unlawful act which can be used as a legal basis to sue the heirs of the offender.

A Comparative Study of patients, Undergoing Transurethral Resection of Prostate Gland With Or Without Otis Urethrotomy Before Surgery – A Single Institution Experience
Authors: Shrestha Naresh Man
Published: June 2017

Background: Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is considered as the gold standard surgical treatment for Benign prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Among many post TURP complications, urethral stricture is one of the most dreaded urological complications, which may result in lifelong misery. The present study aimed to report the outcomes of Otis urethrotomy to prevent urethral stricture before TURP.Method: This was a comparative study between two equal groups of 100 patients who met inclusion criteria. Study conducted in the department of surgery, Urology unit, Nepalgunj Medical College from 2014 May to 2016 April. In group A, included all the patients underwent TURP without Otis urethrotomy and in group B , included all patients underwent TURP after doing Otis Urethrotomy. The patients were evaluated for evidence of urethral stricture formation.Result: In Group A, 20 patients out of 100(20%) developed urethral stricture whereas in Group B, 8 patients out of 100(8%) developed urethral stricture .The rate of Urethral Stricture in Group A is significantly more than in Group B (p<0.05).Conclusion: The incidence of urethral stricture formation can be significantly reduced by doing Otis urethrotomy before TURP than TURP alone.JNGMC Vol. 14 No. 1 July 2016, Page: 5-7

Published: June 2017

Background: Necrotizing fasciitis is soft tissue infection which spreads through the facial planes. It is a surgical emergency with its rapid onset and varied occult characteristic can cause diagnostic delays resulting in high mortality and morbidity.Objectives: To study the clinical profile and evaluate the determinants of outcome in patients with necrotizing fasciitis.Methods: A descriptive study of patients admitted and operated in the surgical units of Nepalgunj Medical College and Teaching Hospital Kohalpur with a diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis from January 2013 to December 2015.Results: Total of 45 patients were included in the study. There were 27(60%) male and 18(40%) female, male to female ratio being 1.5: 1. The patient's age ranged from 2 to 76 years with mean age being 48.04±19.62 years. 38(84.44%) patients had no predisposing factor however trauma was the triggering factor in 4(8.89%) cases followed by surgery and insect bite. Diabetes mellitus 26(57.78%) and alcohol dependence 5(11.11%) cases were the most common co morbid condition associated with the disease. The lower limb 28(62.22%) was the most common site followed by upper limb, scrotum, perineum, trunk and abdomen. The growth was polymicrobial in 24(53.33%), mono microbial in 16(35.56%) and sterile in 5(11.11) cases . Staphylococcus aureus was predominant in 24(53.33%) cases followed by Streptococcus, E coli, Klebsiella, Enterococcus. The main procedure was debridement with secondary suturing 23(51.11%) and debridement with grafting in 18(40%) patient. Amputation was done in 2(4.44%) and secondary wound healing was observed in 2(4.44%) patients. 39(86.67%) cases improved with the above management while mortality was observed in 3(6.67%). 3(6.67%) cases left against medical advice so outcome was unknownConclusion: On the basis of our study we concluded that high index of suspicion and awareness of the clinical presentation is required to diagnose this condition early. Diabetes mellitus is the most common co-morbid condition associated with necrotizing fasciitis. The presence of multiple co morbid conditions and delayed presentation reduces the survival rate. Early diagnosis and debridement, broad spectrum antibiotics with organ supportive intensive care will improve morbidity and mortality.JNGMC Vol. 14 No. 1 July 2016
Significance of Adenosine Deaminase in Diagnosing Tuberculous Pleural Effusion in Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital Kohalpur
Authors: Shyam B.K. , Shah Sujeet Kumar , Pandey Sumit , Baral Sushil , Gupta Sandeep
Published: June 2017

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem in developing countries including Nepal. One of the common presentations of TB is pleural effusion. The diagnosis of tubercular pleural effusion can be difficult because of the low rate of detecting tubercular bacilli by direct stain and culture of pleural fluid for acid-fast bacilli (AFB). Pleural biopsy can be useful but is invasive and requires experts. In this context, pleural fluid Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) level has been proposed as easy, cheap and highly sensitive test for diagnosis of TB pleural effusion.Objectives: The present study was undertaken to define the role of pleural fluid ADA value in accurate diagnosis of Tubercular pleural effusion.Methods: A Prospective analysis of 68 patients admitted in Nepalgunj Medical College teaching Hospital was done from January 2014 to December 2015 with pleural effusion. Pleural fluid ADA level was evaluated in all patients, and significance of pleural fluid ADA level in TB pleural effusion was studied.Results: Age of patients were between 20 to 80 years, with the minimum being 20 years and maximum being 79 years. In this study 85% of cases had pleural effusion due to tuberculosis. Out of the 68 patients with pleural effusion, 58(85%) were finally diagnosed to be due to tuberculosis, 2 were diagnosed to be due to malignancy, 4 due to pneumonia leading to parapneumonic effusion, 1 due to congestive heart failure and 3 due to nephrotic syndrome.Conclusion: It is difficult to diagnose TB pleural effusion by other conventional methods, as it has also been shown in our study also. Previous literatures have also mentioned AFB detection rate to be low from pleural fluid sample. Determination of ADA is a cheap and easy test which we now consider in the early routine evaluation of patients with pleural effusions, particularly if diagnosis of tuberculosis is suspected and in places where prevalence of the disease is still high as is in our country. The other method considered for diagnosing TB pleural effusion is pleural biopsy which is invasive blind procedure and requires high expertise as well. JNGMC Vol. 14 No. 1 July 2016

Background: Diaphyseal fractures of forearm is the third most common fracture in children. Majority of these fractures can be treated with close reduction and cast immobilization due to the growth potential of the immature skeletal. But in elder age group Intramedullary K wire fixation through retrograde approach is the most invasive and less complicated procedure to ensure the prevention of deformity and restore the functions.Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of forearm in children with intramedullary K wire fixation through retrograde approach and look for short term and immediate results.Methodology: This was a prospective observational hospital based study carried out in Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital from January 2012 to December 2013, in children between 5-15 years with K wires for diaphyseal fractures of forearm through retrograde approach which was followed up for 12 months. All patients underwent close reduction and intramedullary K wire fixation retrograde. At 6, 12 and 48 weeks; range of motion and tenderness were looked for.Results: There were 32 patients in the study with average age of 10.41 years for male and 10.21 years for female. Average time for union was 7.3 weeks. There were no nonunion and malunions in follow ups. At 6 months all had full range of motion without any complications.Conclusion: Operative treatment with K wires through retrograde approach for diaphyseal fractures of forearm is an invasive procedure for less complications, patient's comfort and early range of motion.JNGMC Vol. 14 No. 1 July 2016, Page: 27-31
Use of Time Domain Reflectometry to Estimate Moisture and Density of Unbound Road Materials: Laboratory Calibration and Field Investigation
Authors: Bhuyan Habibullah , Scheuermann Alexander , Bodin Didier , Becker Rolf
Published: June 2017

Soil moisture content and dry density of unbound granular pavement materials are important properties for compaction control that influence pavement performance under cyclic loading. Under these loading conditions, increasing moisture content can accelerate significant changes in density. Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is a method for measuring the moisture content and density of soils with rod probe sensors. This paper introduces new calibration functions for TDR measurements using these rod probe sensors embedded in the soil. TDR measurements were taken in the laboratory for a typical road base material at two basically different conditions: at constant moisture content with different dry densities and at constant dry density with different moisture contents. In this study, a relationship was developed between the voltage drop occurring for the passage of an electromagnetic wave through the soil and the bulk density. The permittivity of the soil sample obtained from the travel time of TDR signals was used to calculate the volumetric moisture content. Finally, the gravimetric moisture content was obtained from the volumetric moisture content and bulk density relationship. For the validation of the calibration functions, rod probe sensors were installed in a road to obtain in situ moisture content and density under field conditions. Laboratory results indicate that the calibration functions are independent of moisture and density, and the field test shows the applicability of the method. The newly developed calibration functions allow for the monitoring of the long-term pavement performance, leading to a better understanding of the time-dependent evolution of, for example, rutting of roads.

The aim of this retrospective and exploratory study was that the cortical sources of resting state eyes-closed electroencephalographic (rsEEG) rhythms might reveal different abnormalities in cortical neural synchronization in groups of patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease (ADMCI) and Parkinson’s disease (PDMCI) as compared to healthy subjects. Clinical and rsEEG data of 75 ADMCI, 75 PDMCI, and 75 cognitively normal elderly (Nold) subjects were available in an international archive. Age, gender, and education were carefully matched in the three groups. The Mini-Mental State Evaluation (MMSE) was matched between the ADMCI and PDMCI groups. Individual alpha frequency peak (IAF) was used to determine the delta, theta, alpha1, alpha2, and alpha3 frequency band ranges. Fixed beta1, beta2, and gamma bands were also considered. eLORETA estimated the rsEEG cortical sources. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) classified these sources across individuals. Results showed that compared to the Nold group, the posterior alpha2 and alpha3 source activities were more abnormal in the ADMCI than the PDMCI group, while the parietal delta source activities were more abnormal in the PDMCI than the ADMCI group. The parietal delta and alpha sources correlated with MMSE score and correctly classified the Nold and diseased individuals (area under the ROC = 0.77–0.79). In conclusion, the PDMCI and ADMCI patients showed different features of cortical neural synchronization at delta and alpha frequencies underpinning brain arousal and vigilance in the quiet wakefulness. Future prospective cross-validation studies will have to test these rsEEG markers for clinical applications and drug discovery.

In recent years, the importance of the RFId technology within the operations management environment has become more evident. In particular, the RFId technology is recognised as an accelerator of the change towards a more efficient way to manage operations in an industrial context. The aim of this paper is to present a case study for the application of a pre-existing model (based on the Business Process Modelling method) for the technical, economic and financial evaluation of an RFId technology application in the area of industrial logistics for a bike manufacturer. The paper will face this issue preliminarily analysing the RFId utilization in the industrial context, afterwards analysing the existing literature on the BPM use for the evaluation of the applicability of RFId to the industrial context and lastly illustrating the case study and the results of the application of the BPM to the specific firm. The results demonstrate the improvement that it is possible to achieve in terms of financial returns and in terms of bikes worked in the warehouse per year.
LocAWS: A location-aware system for manufacturing plants
Authors: Ting S.L. , Tsang Albert H.C.
Published: June 2017

Location awareness is a key issue to improve the visibility of goods receiving and dispatching within manufacturing enterprises. One of the critical elements of location awareness is to capture the real-time location data for determining the accurate movement and thus location of assets. In recent years, numerous cases have shown successful application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology as location sensing technique. However, a number of challenges still remain in estimating the direction or movement of RFID tagged-assets. Thus, this paper aims to investigate how the proposed RFID Location Awareness System (LocAWS) can be used to provide useful location information of assets in manufacturing plants. To illustrate the feasibility of LocAWS, we assume there are three production cells in a manufacturing plant and the movement of tagged-cartons among the cells is studied. Its overall performance is satisfied and it is claimed that LocAWS can serve as a promising location-aware solution.

Published: June 2017

Porcelain reinforced polyester resin composites (PPCs) having different compositions have been prepared by compression molding. Thermal properties of PPCs were studied by means of TG-DTA and TMA. The influence of porcelain content on thermal properties of PPCs was studied in detail. Thermal conductivities of PPCs decreased from 0.00068 cal/cm sec°C to 0.00030 cal/cm sec°C by the addition of porcelain from 10 to 60%. The results of this study reveal their good thermal stabilities. The 50% degradation temperature of pure Polyester resin was 401.5°C, but that of the PPC-1, PPC-2 and PPC-4 were 406.3°C, 407.8°C, and 417.3°C respectively. The morphology of the composites was studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 52(2), 147-152, 2017

Published: June 2017

This descriptive type of cross sectional study was conducted to explore the use of AV aids in undergraduate medical education in 7 government & 5 non-government medical colleges of Bangladesh by convenient sampling. Sixty (60) lecture classes were observed to estimate the proportion of the uses of different AV aids & to identify the quality use of different types of AV aids by observation checklists. Views were also taken from 20 teachers regarding the quality use of different types of AV aids by open ended questions. Study revealed that 20% teachers used CB/WB, 15% used OHP and 65% used PPT. Most of the CB/WB & PPT users maintained the quality use of these media but not OHP. Readability and legibility of handwriting or text of all media were acceptable in 78% lectures but it was 33% in OHP lectures. Students' attention was also less in OHP. Regarding number of words per acetate sheet/slide, only 33% OHP lectures met the standard criteria & 72% PPT slides met this criterion. In open ended questions, 25% teachers choose CB/WB, 10% Choose OHP and 65% choose PPT. Study recommended that use of clean, multi-color and good quality chalk/marker & board/screen are essential for effective teaching learning session. Adequate lighting, AC lecture class/gallery, proper sound systems & training on different AV aids are also needed to standardize the quality use of AV aids in lecture classes.Medicine Today 2016 Vol.28(2): 48-51
Allergic Rhinitis during Pregnancy -an Update of Management
Authors: Khan Neyamat Ullah , Begum Kazi Shahnaz
Published: June 2017

The concurrence of allergic rhinitis and pregnancy is common. The diagnosis of allergic rhinitis is easily and reliably made, by eliciting the characteristic symptoms on history. This diagnosis is easily confirmed by using the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) tests. Nasal symptoms, particularly obstruction, are often aggravated in pregnancy, through several possible mechanisms. The disease is often pre-existing and sometimes coincidental during pregnancy, and can worsen, improve, or stay the same during pregnancy. Besides ameliorating the detrimental effects of AR on the patient's quality of life, correct treatment is important for controlling concomitant asthma. If possible, it is important to highlight the risks of not taking such medications at a pre-conception visit. Although most medications for AR readily cross the placenta, there are several choices of treatment for controlling the symptoms during pregnancy. The choices may be varied depending on the disease course and symptoms, and inhaled corticosteroids are considered to be the first-line medical treatment. In addition, either a first-generation antihistamine, such as chlorpheniramine, or a secondgeneration antihistamine, such as cetirizine or loratadine, can be prescribed as the second-line medical treatment. As an alternative, intranasal cromolyn can be prescribed safely. Some of the leukotriene receptor antagonists and nasal decongestant sprays can only be prescribed when other methods are no longer valid and strict benefits can be expected. It is considered safe to continue immunotherapy during pregnancy.Medicine Today 2016 Vol.28(2): 83-88
The Nexus Between Irans Feminism and Islamic Revolution in Persepolis: A Feminist Critique
Authors: Begum Suriya
Published: June 2017

Persepolis (2007) is the distressing story of a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It is through the eyes of the bright and candid 9-year-old Marjane that we see popular optimisms darted as fundamentalists take power and forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands. Intelligent and intrepid, Marjane outwits the "social guardians" and ascertains punk, ABBA, and Iron Maiden. Hitherto when her uncle is inanely put to death and as bombs fall around Tehran in the Iran/Iraq war, the everyday panic that saturated existence in Iran is obvious. Persepolis, an animated film by Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, is based on the four volumes of Satrapis extensively read autobiographical detail narrative of the identical name. It informs the account of contemporary Iran through the life of a girl with impressive aspirations: to be the galaxys last prophet and to shave her legs. Contradictory concepts in one existence throughout the film knit together the turbulent history of Iran and Marjanes turbulent life. She was nine years old when the waves of revolution had risen to engulf the country. Waves that send her parents to the demonstrations, bring politics into her childhood games, free prisoners from the dungeons of the Shah Pahlavi regime, and finally lead to the overthrow of the monarchy. In the first part of the film, through a look at the life and struggle of three generations of Marjanes family, we are introduced to a history of dictatorship, oil and dependency, rebellion and revolution, suppression and more rebellion. Throughout the representation of the movie, the present study examines the dilemmas that women were facing with different political shifts as well as how the opportunist male politicians use and abuse women in order to maintain their patriarchal supremacy.Philosophy and Progress, Vol#57-58; No#1-2; Jan-Dec 2015
