Published: November 2016

The paper discusses the empirical results of the study of the inuence of gender role identity on representations of violence in young female students at the age from 17 to 19. Attitudes towards violence, as well as the use of violence in interpersonal relations appear long before their realization in interpersonal interaction. Theauthors proceeded on the assumption that traditional ideas about gender dichotomy offeatures of violent behaviour were inadequate for the gender system of modernsociety. The study sample consisted of 100 respondents. The authors used thefollowing research methods: writing an essay, semantic dierential, and the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI).The obtained empirical data indicated that the girls with undierentiated(neutral) gender role identity had a wider range of representations of violence, if to compare with the respondents who were guided by dichotomous models of gender behaviour (with “masculine” and “feminine” patterns). The girls with undierentiated(not polarized) gender role identity are able to recognize a large variety of forms ofviolence; they can exibly use and combine various forms of violence for achieving their own goals in corresponding circumstances. In this sample the girls with typically feminine gender role identity were less able to notice unobviousforms of violence (especially in interpersonal relations); violence usually had polar forms in their representations: either physical, or psychological. Moreover, the girls with typically feminine gender role identity perceived violence in such behavioural patterns which could not be assessed as violent in the given context. The ndings ofthe study could be useful for improving the practices of prevention, correction and rehabilitation offemale violent convicts, as well as for reducing manifestations of extreme forms of female violence in society.

The authors analyzed the problems of the formation of personal maturity and made an assumption that the components of personal maturity (ego-identity, active possession of the environment, and self-actualization) would be formed atthe age of seven or eight.The paper presents the results of a longitudinal study of the components ofpersonal maturity. The longitudinal group included 232 pupils of the rst form of comprehensive schools of Samara and Tolyatti; 96 persons of them took part in all the longitudinal sections of the study. The authors carried out the rst study in 1997–1998, when the respondents were pupils of the rst form. In the nal study (2014–2015) all the subjects graduated from high schools, as well as higher/secondary educational institutions (at the age from 24 to 25).To study the components of personal maturity the authors asked respondents to write a composition with the following title: “I Am a Human Being”, and also used the method of ultimate senses by D. A. Leont’ev, content analysis, and method of expert evaluations.

The study showed that the formation of personal maturity takes place when dealing with life’s challenges and building relationships with the world (society). Theperson realizes himself/herself, generates an image of a human being as abearer of social roles, recognizes his/her own involvement in culture and inuences himself/herself and others through various forms of internal and external activity; he/sheis the author of the inner world. The results of the empirical study showed that the developed ego-identity, active possession of the environment (the ability to behave regardless the inuencing circumstances and pursue his/her own aims), and selfactualizationwere the components of personal maturity. These components arebasically formed at the age of seven or eight.The ndings of the study could be useful for psychologists, pedagogues, and social workers. The basic propositions of this paper have great potential for correctional and developing work of a school psychologist for optimizing the educational process.

The paper studies the interrelation of sensation seeking, self-attitude, and approval motivation in men and women. The authors analyzed various approaches to studying the search for experiences and feelings as a personality trait. Explaining the relevance and novelty of the study the authors note that empirical studies inthis eld are still lacking.The study sample consisted of 111 respondents (56 women and 55 men) at the age from 19 to 73 living in the city of Rostov-on-Don. Along with the gender aspect the authors also took into account the factor of the presence/absence of children. Theempirical study revealed numerous interrelations of sensation seeking, selfattitude, and approval motivation. The results showed that the men scored high on a measure of sensation seeking; this parameter did not depend on the presence/absence of children. The interrelation between sensation seeking and self-attitude was obvious in the men. There was noevident relationship between sensation seeking and self-attitude in the women group. The men with a low level of self-management, self-acceptance, self-aection, selfesteem, and self-liking were predisposed to seeking new sensations, adventures, and risky behavior. The results of the study also showed that approval motivation had the following relation with self-attitude in the women group: a high level of approvalmotivation correlated with a high level of self-attitude, notably with self-assurance, self-management, self-aection, and self-esteem. The authors also called attention to the fact that the respondents with children scored higher on the scale of approval motivation. Parents’ willingness to show themselves to good advantage in society isthe most likely explanation of these ndings.

Published: November 2016

In the paper the focus of attention is on the features of changes in professional and personal characteristics of teachers of comprehensive schools and orphan asylums. In accordance with the author’s concept of professionalization, the article considers changes in professional and personal characteristics in three directions. The authors dene these three vectors as the following: psychological characteristics of the subject; features of professional activity; features of the object of activity and interaction with it. To identify various behaviors of subjects that have a negative impact on personality development in school teachers and teachers of orphan asylums the authors used the following standard methods: the test-questionnaire of self-attitude (V. V. Stolin), “Sense-of-Life orientations” test (D. A. Leontiev), “Job Satisfaction” test (V. A. Rozanova), technique for diagnostics of the level of emotional burnout (V.V.Boyko), Strategic Approach to Coping Scale (SS) by S. Hobfoll, technique of general communicative tolerance (V. V. Boyko), Bass-Darky questionnaire for estimating the level of aggression. The data obtained suggest that the teachers of orphan asylums had dierences in the destructive changes of personal and professional characteristics in comparison with school teachers. When explaining such dierences, the authors emphasize the very nature of professional activity of teachers of orphan asylums, their interactionwith apsychologically complicated object of labor. The destructive changes took place in all three dimensions of professionalization. The teachers of orphan asylums scored lower on measures of self-attitude and life sensemaking as psychological characteristics ofapersonal-sense component of the destructive changes in professional development. Psychological characteristics of an individual-activity component of the professional development of the teachers of orphan asylums manifested themselves in extreme dissatisfaction with their own work, its conditions, organization, opportunities for career growth, as well as in the nancial aspect. The ndings of the study also showed that the emotional burnout syndrome was more prominent in the teachers of orphan asylums; more often they behave antisocially in a stressful situation. The study demonstrated a communicative component of the destructive changes of the professional development of the teachers of orphan asylums in a high intolerance and prominent aggressive reactions (mainly verbal aggression).

Since the graduate should have a number of professional competencies, as well as a high level of general culture, intelligence, creativity, and spirituality, the development of criteria and methods of the evaluation of the student’s musical-creative developmentin the educational process of the university is of particular relevance. The authors assert that the use of the developing potentials of music is situational and fragmented in the domestic system of higher education. Regardless of the traditions of pre-revolutionary education in Russia, mass music education ends in adolescence. According to the authors the secondary musical personality of the future specialist is the result of the continuing mass musical education of the person. The theoreticalanalysis of researches in this eld showed that various scientists noted vast possibilities of music when developing value guidelines in youth, nding the meaning of life and professional activity, for creative self-actualization, self-discovery, and spiritual communion. At the same time, the diagnostics of the musical and creative developmentof personality in psycho-pedagogical science remains a challenge by virtue of the complexity and many-sided nature of these phenomena. This problem is especially urgent when evaluating the eectiveness of programs of psychological support of the creative development of the student’s personality. This paper introduces the author’s aesthetic-semiotic approach to studying this issue. To evaluate changes in student’s personality in experimental study, the authors developed criteria, characteristics, and corresponding levels of the development of the secondary musical personality.

Published: November 2016

В Європейському регіоні 40 % усіх захворювань і смертей обумовлено впливом трьох основних факторів ризику: палінням, вживанням алкоголю і дорожньо-транспортними пригодами (які часто пов’язані з вживанням алкоголю). Серед усіх регіонів Всесвітньої організації охорони здоров’я Європейський регіон займає лідируючі позиції за рівнем поширеності паління серед як дорослого населення (28,0 %), так і підлітків (19,0 %). У період з 1999 по 2014 рік в Україні проводилися три серії міжнародних експериментів (ESPAD, GYTS, HBSC), які містили питання і щодо тютюнопалiння. За результатами Глобального опитування підлітків 2010–2011 рр. Україна входила до трійки лідерів (після Чехії та Італії). Виявлено наступні негативні тенденції поширеності тютюнопалiння серед школярів: 28,8 % підлітків почали палити у віці до 10 років; 3,7 % школярів, які палять (переважно хлопчики), вранці відчувають потребу в сигареті; поряд з сигаретами стають все більш популярними інші види тютюнової продукції (сигари, сигаріли, міні-сигари) (7,2 %); 55,3 % підлітків, які не палять, готові почати палити в наступному році; у 9,2 % є речі з зображенням логотипу будь-якого тютюнового бренду. За даними НДІ соціальної і судової психіатрії та наркології МОЗ України, 22 % школярів і студентів вживають спиртні напої практично щодня або кілька разів на тиждень. Висока поширеність тютюнопаління та вживання алкоголю серед підлітків України вимагають розробки і впровадження нових ефективних профілактичних заходів, спрямованих на формування здоров’язберігаючої поведінки молоді. Профілактичні заходи важливо починати заздалегідь, до початку проявів ризикової поведінки.

У статті наведено літературні дані щодо основ­них клінічних проявів, частоти, сучасних методів пренатальної та постнатальної діагностики і лікування, а також прогнозу при дефекті міжпередсердної перегородки — природженої аномалії серцево-судинної системи в дітей. Дефекти міжпередсердної перегородки — це група вроджених вад серця, для яких характерна наявність вродженого аномального сполучення між лівим і правим передсердям. Частота дефекту міжпередсердної перегородки в дитячому віці становить 1 випадок на 1500 живонароджених, або 7 % серед усіх вроджених вад серця. Діагностика. При невеликих дефектах хворі скарг не пред’являють, і порок зазвичай виявляється при випадковому обстеженні. Порівняно з іншими вродженими вадами серця аускультативні ознаки дефекту міжпередсердної перегородки слабо виражені. При значних дефектах основними скаргами є задишка і підвищена стомлюваність, часті бронхіти та пневмонії в анамнезі. Порок розпізнається при народженні або на першому році життя в 40 % хворих Межі серця перкуторно зміщуються вправо за рахунок збільшення правого передсердя і правого шлуночка. При пальпації ділянки серця не визначається систолічнє тремтіння. Аускультативно виявляється систолічний шум середньої інтенсивності з максимальним звучанням у ІІ–ІІІ міжребер’ї зліва, що не обумовлено наявністю й обсягом артеріально-венозного скидання крові, а є результатом об’ємного перевантаження правого шлуночка та наявності відносного стенозу легеневої артерії. Діагностика пороку підтверджується характерними змінами на електрокардіограмі, ехокардіоскопії та рентгенограмі. Лікування. Оптимальний вік пацієнтів для хірургічної корекції — 2–12 років. Новонароджені з дефектом міжпередсердної перегородки і застійною серцевою недостатністю, а також діти з великим дефектом міжпередсердної перегородки, із серцевою недостатністю, що виникла, повинні отримувати медикаментозну терапію.

Cooperative vs Competitive: Filosofi Keseimbangan “Yin-Yang” dalam Hubungan Interdependency
Authors: Dudija Nidya
Published: November 2016

Teori ini 1 dikembangkan oleh Morton Deutsch (1949a, 1949b, 1973, 1985) danjuga diuraikan oleh David W. Johnson (Johnson & Johnson, 1989). Cooperative–Competitive merupakan salah satu teori dalam psikologi sosial yang dikemukakanoleh Morton Deutch. Ilmuan evolusi sosial mengatakan bahwa altruisme manusia dan kerjasama adalah hasil dari sejarah spesies yang unik “konflik antar kelompok dan perang” (Alexander, 1987; Buss, 1999; Campbell, 1975; Tooby & Cosmides, 1988), dapat diartikan bahwa konflik antar kelompok telah membentuk psikologi dan perilaku manusia khususnya (Vugt, Gremer, & Janssen 2007). Penelitian psikologi sosial konsisten dengan ide ini. Dalam hal ini manusia spontan membuat perbandingan “kita vs mereka” kategorisasi dan cepat mengembangkan aspek emosional dalam kelompok bahkan ketika keanggotaan didasarkan pada kriteria yang sederhana, seperti flip koin (Brewer, 1979; Ostrom & Sedikides, 1992; Tajfel & Turner, 1979). Manusia juga mudah melakukan tindakan diskriminasi terhadap anggota dari luar kelompok (Fiske, 2002) dan terlibat dalam tindakanaltruistik untuk membela kelompok mereka (De Cremer & Van Vugt, 1999;Sherif , 1966).
European Equity Pairs Trading: The Effect of Data Frequency on Risk and Return
Authors: Lucey Michael , Walshe Don
Published: November 2016

This article examines an equity pairs trading strategy using daily, weekly and monthly European share price data over the period 1998 – 2007. The authors show that when stocks are matched into pairs with minimum distance between normalised historical prices, a simple trading rule based on volatility between these prices yields annualised raw returns of up to 15% for the weekly data frequency. Bootstrap results suggest returns from the strategy are attributable to skill rather than luck, while insignificant beta coefficients provide evidence that this is a market neutral strategy. Resistance of the strategy’s returns to reversal factors suggest pairs trading is fundamentally different to previously documented reversal strategies based on concepts such as mean reversion.
A Century of Instability in Housing Finance in the United States
Authors: Edmunds John C. , Lapham Mark F.
Published: November 2016

The U.S. housing sector, including housing starts, house purchasing, and the institutions involved in financing house purchases, has been unstable for most of the past century. We divide the years since 1920 into periods and study the instability for each period. We found that there was no Golden Age of stability in the sector. Instead, the time intervals that we studied were each characterized by metrics of instability that were equal within a reasonable margin of error. These results imply that the U.S. has built a stock of housing and has succeeded in making home ownership an attainable dream, but that accomplishment is overshadowed by the frequent booms and busts. In a second paper we intend to examine the effects on economic growth and recessions that have been associated with the instability in the housing sector. The social costs of instability have been large, and our estimate will be intended to provoke debate and further research.

Lipid Emulsion Infusion in Resuscitation for Local Anesthetic and Other Drug Overdose
Authors: Chaparoska Daniela , Baneva Natalija
Published: November 2016

The use of intravenous lipid emulsions (ILEs) as antidote in local anesthetic systemic toxicity has gained widespread support following convincing data from animal models, and successful case reports in humans. An injection of a simple, intravenous nutritional solution could be acutely life-saving for a patient with severe drug overdose. But dozens of published case reports support this observation, the first ones made more than a decade ago in a rodent model of bupivacaine toxicity. It is even more surprising that such a simple formulation can rapidly reverse severe clinical toxicity from a variety of vastly disparate medications with distinct pharmacodynamics and mechanisms of action. This review will focus on the clinical application of lipid emulsion therapy in resuscitation from drug-related toxicity and will provide an introduction to the development of a method, guidelines for its use, and insights into potential controversies and future applications [1].

Post-merger Effect on Operating Performance of Financial Institutions: Evidence from Nepal
Authors: Pathak Hari Prasad
Published: November 2016

This article studies post-merger operating performance of financial institutions using the data set published in their annual reports. Based on 22 merger deals made during 2004-20013 by financial institutions listed in the Nepal Stock Exchange, this paper analyzes their financial statements for four years (two year before the merger and two year after the merger) by using six key accounting ratios. In spite of certain limitations, accounting ratios are still considered as a convenient and reliable analytical tool. The article concludes that merger deals fail to significantly improve the post-merger operating performance of financial institutions.Repositioning Vol.1(1) 2016: 11-22

Envisaged for Sustainable Rural Development: Viability and Challenges of Rural Tourism in Nepal
Authors: Upadhyay Prakash
Published: November 2016

Rural tourism is a lucrative business with many financial, environmental, and socio-cultural benefits however; the development of rural tourism compared to urban tourism is faced with numerous challenges related to its practicability and sustainability. The aim of this paper is to trace the viability and challenges affecting the motivations of rural tourists, in an attempt to improve the understanding of rural tourism motivation for the development of rural tourism in Nepal. The major argument of this paper is that rural tourism though based on need and right based concept, is lately introduced practice and one of the immense areas of entire tourism in Nepal. Principally, it is need based approach because underdeveloped rural area needs to have more jobs created and revenue to be generated. The rapid environmental crisis in urban areas mostly in Kathmandu and other big cities is widening the scope of the rural tourism outside the urban areas. As a phenomenon, rural tourism is related to natural environment, hill, mountains, agricultural terraces, river, rural society and countryside households representing conservation, life style free of cultural pollution, experience, adventure and above all benefit to the local people. A sustainable rural tourism is the product of the careful planning, management and monitoring of tourism development. This study highlighted the evolution of a new way of thinking about development in the form of the rural tourism sustainability paradigm, its viabilities and challenges. The application of the concept of sustainability to rural tourism development was traced, and some of the initiatives of the rural tourism industry were distinguished, culminating in emphasis of the fact that effective planning and implementations are crucial to the long-term economic, social and environmental sustainability of a destination and its rural tourism industry. However, local communities’ inclusion as more active participants in rural tourism development may result in increasing conflicts between them and other stakeholders, including urban tourism, government at local and national levels.Repositioning Vol.1(1) 2016: 37-52
Hiring New Graduates in Japan and “Character”
Authors: Hirasawa Junko
Published: November 2016

In Japan, the main recruitment method is hiring of new school graduates. Japanese companies attach importance to “character” when hiring new graduates. Why is “character” so important? This study aims to provide a hypothesis. The reason of the overriding importance attached to “character” in new graduate recruitment is the fact that Japanese companies see new graduates as human resources who can be developed as their companions to work with for the long term. “Character” has two aspects: character as a driving force for growth and character as a driving force for development. Skill can be learned later and anyone can acquire knowledge. However, character as a driving force for growth cannot be developed in a short time. Japanese companies develop new graduates primarily through OJT (On the Job Training). This requires hard work. Hence, new graduates should make their superiors and seniors “feel willing to develop them” even at the cost of time.Repositioning Vol.1(1) 2016: 53-62
Does Loan Size Matter for Productive Application? Evidence from Nepalese Micro-finance Institutions
Authors: Dhungana Bharat Ram
Published: November 2016

This paper examines the loan size and its productive application after involvement in micro-finance programme in western development region of Nepal. The paper is based on primary sources of data collected through structured questionnaires. The survey includes 500 clients from four districts of western development region both from government and Private microfinance institutions. The study shows that there is positive association between size of savings and loans, size of savings and loan application, current loan size and ethnicity, loan size and duration of membership, and finally loan size and its application. It has been found that clients who have taken small size of loans, they have mostly spent their loans on domestic purposes and found poor application of loans in micro-business whereas big loan size clients have greater application of loans in productive sectors. Micro-finance institutions should increase loan size (as per the provision of monitory policy) with necessary entrepreneurship skills that will help to enhance productive application of loans however, strict monitoring and supervision is essential. Thus, MFIs should give equal priority for non-financial services such as financial literacy and provision of entrepreneurship skills through government and non-government organizations that ultimately helps to utilize micro-credit into productive sectors.Repositioning Vol.1(1) 2016: 63-72

Research reflects that education is the major remedy in solving the burning problems of poverty and backwardness. Ironically, educated youngsters have forgotten this land by expensing their skills in other countries of the world readily accepting the degree of second-grade citizenship. This piece aims at making a critical surgery on the hollowness of Nepali Diasporas and make an appeal for them to return back to their home country with well-disposed intention of building their own country and creating their own identity by bringing reference of some literary and non-literary texts.Repositioning Vol.1(1) 2016: 73-80
Remittance in Rural Phewatal Watershed, Nepal
Authors: Gurung Tek Bahadur
Published: November 2016

Subsistence farming yields only a limited amount of farm products does not meet the needs of the family in rural Phewatal watershed. Because of this, remittance has become an important source of cash income to the agro-based communities of the watershed. To meet their basic needs, leaving their family back home, the young which is 391 from 292 sample households, have gone abroad for jobs, They send approximately Rs 58226000 annually to their family. On average, each household receives approximately Rs 199000 per year; however, the average amount differs widely from nation to nation and community to community. Only a small size of people have gone to affluent countries and 74 p.c. of the total have gone to the Gulf region. Such type of foreign employment has made the distribution of remittance fairly uniform among the households. In addition to this, except in some cases, increasing number of foreign employees brings small positive changes on remittance amount of the households in Phewatal watershed.Repositioning Vol.1(1) 2016: 81-90
Non-verbal Skills: Unavoidable in Communication
Authors: Lamichhane Yog Raj
Published: November 2016

This paper aims to define communication and incorporate differences between verbal and non-verbal communication. The special focus is given to different kinds of non-verbal skills with their color and creed. Their contribution in professional field is critically examined. As communication is an ongoing and complex process of transmission and reception of message, the implication of non-verbal communication is indispensable. When verbal and non-verbal cues are in conflict, verbal skills are virtually disregarded and the meaning and implication of ‘what’ heavily depends on non-verbal signs and symbols. The paper also highlights the different forms of vocalic and non-vocalic nonverbal cues with rational categorization. It also explores space in which culture and gender affect non-verbal communication by creating different meanings of particular item of behaviors. In this way, this paper attempts to excavate the importance of non-verbal communication in professional life.Repositioning Vol.1(1) 2016: 91-98

Authors: Liu Jingya , Li Jing , Gao Ziyi , Yang Min , Qin Keyu , Yang Xiaonan
Published: November 2016

Global climate and environmental changes are endangering global water resources; and several approaches have been tested to manage and reduce the pressure on these decreasing resources. This study uses the case study of Xi’an City in China to test reasonable and effective methods to address water resource shortages. The study generated a framework combining ecosystem services and water resource management. Seven ecosystem indicators were classified as supply services, regulating services, or cultural services. Index values for each indicator were calculated, and based on questionnaire results, each index’s weight was calculated. Using the Likert method, we calculated ecosystem service supplies in every region of the city. We found that the ecosystem’s service capability is closely related to water resources, providing a method for managing water resources. Using Xi’an City as an example, we apply the ecosystem services concept to water resources management, providing a method for decision makers.
