A cross sectional study on the definite diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion at Gulab Devi Chest Hospital.
Authors: Riaz Ghazala , Naheed Madiha , Hanif M. Imran , Hanif M. Umair
Published: August 2019

Establishing the definite causative etiology of pleural effusion is often quite problematic due to the paucibacillary nature of mycobacterium, while malignancy and other bacterial infections also cause pleural effusion. Therefore, knowing the exact cause is mandatory before the start of any anti tuberculosis therapy. The present study was aimed to differentiate among different causes of pleural effusion in suspected TB patients. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: A cross sectional study was carried out at Gulab Devi Chest Hospital over the period of seven months. Total 32 patients were enrolled in the study following the inclusion criteria and after taking written informed consent from the patients and approval from the ethical committee. Period: From 1st September 2014 to 31st March 2015. Materials and Methods: Pleural effusion was aspirated by the registered clinician and the sample was processed for cytology, relative density, culture and PCR. Results: Total of ~10% patients were found positive for bacteria other than MTB and 25% were positive for MTB as evidenced by the growth on culture. Two of the MTB culture positive samples were positive for MTB DNA whereas, one culture negative sample was found positive by PCR. Our findings showed that no patient sample was test positive by AFB smearing which is the most commonly used diagnostic tool for MTB. MTB is the major cause of pleural effusion in our studied population but other bacterial infections cannot be neglected. Moreover, PCR is more robust method of detection as MTB culture takes ~6 weeks for positive results. Conclusion: Therefore, we suggest that the efficacy of the PCR should be tested on larger population and a definite diagnosis should be made before the start of any therapy.

Authors: Suyono Acmad
Published: August 2019

The advances in computer technology have brought the rise of computer-based instructional materials in many different fields  including  language  learning.  With  regard  to  listening  skill  development,  one  obvious  strength  of  the  computer-based instructional materials is its capability of presenting audio component in various ways to improve students’ listening skill. For students who are preparing themselves to take a standardized test like Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the materials can even be designed to provide a high degree of customization that can be geared specifically to meet students’ pace of learning. However, it can be a big challenge to design a computer-based listening material capable of ensuring that learning indeed takes place while the students are using and exploring its contents. This paper aims to propose the application of Gagne's nine events of instruction in a computer-based test preparation listening material design. More specifically, this paper tries to provide guidance in the process of developing the user interface and the content presentation within the material as to match each part of the nine events. It is expected that this strategy will successfully activate the required cognitive process of the students and help them achieve established learning objectives.

Posimperialismo, estudios ibéricos y enfoques comparativo-sistémicos
Authors: Gabilondo Joseba
Published: August 2019

This chapter focuses on the fact that there is no founding theory of Iberian Studies, no ‘Iberian Reason’, and the field assumes its foundation without historical and political justification. The article argues that a theory of postimperialism is the only way to ground the field. Finally, it argues that a systemic approach, following the theories of Even-Zohar, will only legitimise State reason, against which Iberian Studies must theorise. Finally, the article argues for a postmarxist-lacanian approach whereby violence and political fantasies can be studied in a non-systemic way. It concludes with a short analysis of Fernando Aramburu’s Patria, Dolores Redondo’s Trilogy of Baztan, and Eider Rodriguez’s short stories.

This chapter develops a methodological framework for the analysis of the relationships between literary systems in the Iberian Peninsula. This proposal combines sociological, systemic and spatial methodologies. Without neglecting historical processes, it studies the autonomy of systemic units, literary, cultural and identity planning, the constitution of centres and peripheries, interferences and conflicts between systems, or the definition of boundaries. It focuses on some processes and practices of the last decade, such as new institutional planning for Galician-Portuguese relationships, the changes in the Galeusca model, or the recognition of Galician poetry in the Spanish literary field.
Identitats i polifonia literàries
Authors: Ribera Llopis Juan Miguel
Published: August 2019

By focusing on the Iberian Peninsula as an interliterary community, and taking into consideration the points of confluence and friction among its literary traditions, this chapter reflects on the development of a shared system, one which does not fail to recognise each Iberian historical identity. The establishment of this network will allow us to determine or question the links between them, their shared or individual signals as well as the projection of internal and external signs of identity. Recognising it, it should be possible to establish the network’s validity, and therefore, its diachronic verification or its transitory nature according to certain synchronous criteria.

L'arbitrato tra Samo e Priene per il possesso della Batinetide
Authors: Nicolino Irene
Published: August 2019

The stele, found in Samos in 1750, bears the official letter with which Lysimachus I communicated to Samos the verdict of his arbitration to settle the conflict arisen between this city and Priene for the control over the Batinetis. The inscription, dating back to 283-282 BC, illustrates one stage of the territorial disputes between the rival cities that continued until the Roman age, and fits in the rich epigraphic context gathered on the temple walls of Athena Polias in Priene. The reasons that led the king to award the Batinetis to Samos date back to the distant past of the poleis of Asia, up to the Meliac war, when a coalition of twelve Ionic cities destroyed Melie and split up its territory.
Virulence of the plant-associated endophytic fungus Lecanicillium muscarium to diamondback moth larvae
Authors: Kuchár Michal , Glare Travis R. , Hampton John G. , Dickie Ian A. , Christey Mary C.
Published: August 2019

Plutella xylostella (diamondback moth) is a prominent pest of brassicas which is now resistant to most insecticides. Despite years of research, the range of available products used in biological control of diamondback moth is still somewhat limited. We isolated putative endophytic fungi from New Zealand cabbage plants to search for unique biological control agents of diamondback moth larvae. The larvae were fed leaf discs from commercially grown cabbage covered in spores from endophytic fungal isolates to test the insecticidal properties of these fungi. Twenty of the 52 fungal isolates tested failed to kill any diamondback moth larvae. However, three isolates of Lecanicillium muscarium induced mortality greater than 80%. While these isolates have potential for use in biological control applications, further research into propagation, formulation, and method, rate and timing of application is needed.
The effectiveness of two types of adhesive for catching insects in traps
Authors: Lo Peter L. , Wallis Roger , Bellamy David E.
Published: August 2019

Sticky traps for monitoring insects use polybutene adhesive (PBA) to entangle insects. This glue is effective but messy to use and an alternative, hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive (HMPSA) is available. The effectiveness of these two adhesives was compared for catching pest and beneficial insects, primarily in apples. Various types of trap with either PBA or HMSPA were placed in orchards and vineyards in Hawke’s Bay and Nelson. Eight pests from six families, six parasitoids, five predators and one pollinator were commonly recorded. Traps with HMPSA generally caught similar numbers or more of both insect pests and beneficial insects than traps with PBA. Traps with HMPSA performed better for larger insects (>1.5 mm), whereas those with PBA tended to be more effective for smaller insects. Both types of adhesive were effective for up to 4 weeks. HMPSA was effective for monitoring a range of insect pests and beneficial insects. Compared with PBA, HMPSA was more consistent and much cleaner and easier to use. It is recommended that HMPSA replaces PBA in traps for monitoring moth pests in the pipfruit industry.

PENGARUH INFRASTRUKTUR SECARA SPASIAL TERHADAP KONVERGENSI PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI DI INDONESIA
Authors: Fahmi Anisa
Published: August 2019

Motivated by inter-regional disparities condition that occurs persistently, this study examines the Indonesian economy in the long run in order to know whether it tends to converge or diverge. This convergence is based on the Solow Neoclassical growth theory assuming the existence of diminishing returns to capital so that when the developed countries reach steady state conditions, developing countries will continuously grow up to 'catch-up' with developed countries. Based on regional economics perspective, each region can not be treated as a stand-alone unit,therefore, this study also focuses on the influence of spatial dependency and infrastructure. Economical and political situations of a region will influence policy in that region which will also have an impact to the neighboring regions. The estimation results of spatial cross-regressive model using fixed effect method consistently confirmed that the Indonesian economy in the long term will likely converge with a speed of 8.08 percent per year. Other findings are road infrastructure has a positive effect on economic growth and investment and road infrastructure are spatially showed a positive effect on economic growth. In other words, the investment and infrastructure of a region does not only affect the economic growth of that region but also to the economy of the contiguous regions.

Narcissism - Oxford Handbook of PDs
Authors: Crowe Michael L , Weiss Brandon , Lynam Donald , Campbell William Keith , Miller Josh
Published: August 2019

This chapter reviews the current state of the narcissism and NPD literature highlighting areas of progress, points of continued debate, and areas for future research. After a brief review of narcissism’s origins, current conceptualizations of the construct are discussed beginning first with NPD and continuing with narcissism’s grandiose and vulnerable dimensions. Grandiose narcissism represents the prototypical manifestation of the construct, while vulnerable narcissism is more commonly observed in clinical settings. A review of grandiose and vulnerable narcissisms’ nomological networks makes it clear that both manifestations can yield significant impairment, albeit of different forms. Converging evidence for a three-dimensional (i.e., “trifurcated”) model of narcissism, which allows for an integrated understanding of its grandiose and vulnerable dimensions is presented. We argue that general application of the trifurcated model is necessary to provide further clarity to the narcissism literature. The “oscillation hypothesis” (i.e., that narcissistic individuals fluctuate between grandiose and vulnerable presentations) is highlighted as an area of continued debate and emerging measures capable of investigating narcissistic fluctuation are identified. The chapter concludes with a review of self-report measures of narcissism and recommendations using the trifurcated model to guide scale selection decisions.

Published: August 2019

A case for the teaching of classical thermodynamics with an explicit time variable, with phenomena involving changes in time, is made by presenting and solving a exercise in textbook style, and pointing out that a solution accords with experiment. The exercise requires an explicit treatment of the time variable. Further arguments are given for the advantages of an explicit time variable in classical thermodynamics, and against some standard terminology in this theory.

Is there Inspiration Through Observation? A Meta-analysis on Goal Contagion (PREPRINT)
Authors: Brohmer Hilmar , Corcoran Katja , van Aert Robbie Cornelis Maria , Eckerstorfer Lisa V.
Published: August 2019

Goal Contagion is a social-cognitive approach to understand how people are getting inspired by others: an observation of goal-directed behavior leads to an automatic inference of the goal on an implicit level before the goal is adopted and pursued thereafter. Most studies on goal contagion used an experimental design and measured either implicit inference or goal pursuit. There are many similarities between different studies (e.g., most use written stimulus material), but also crucial differences (e.g., the type of goal). To identify conditions under which goals are most contagious, we conducted a meta-analysis, including effects from published studies, unpublished studies and Registered Reports. The meta-analytic summary effect was small, g = 0.30, 95%CI [0.21; 0.40], τ² = 0.05, 95%CI [0.03, 0.13]. We investigated whether effects are lager for implicit inference or goal pursuit, if goals that are pursued by more people might be more contagious, if the manipulation material had an influence, and if control groups that were contrary to the goal might have driven the effect. None of these variables turned out to have a moderating effect on the results. Moreover, the original effect seemed to be biased through the current publication system: methods to correct for publication bias like p-uniform* lead to estimates of about half the size of the original effect. The meta-analytic estimate based on only unpublished studies and Registered Reports was close to zero. We suggest that future research on Goal Contagion makes use of Open Science practices to advance research in this domain.

Various scoring system have been developed and are becoming essential part of Pediatric and other critical care units. The Pediatric department wants to introduce Pediatric Index of Mortality-2 (PIM 2) as a predictive scoring system in Pediatric critical care unit of Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital (NMCTH). This was a prospective cohort study done in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of NMCTH. Study was done from August 2017 to December 2018. All cases admitted in ICU were taken consecutively from term newborn to 14 yrs of age. PIM 2 scoring system was done in all patients. PIM 2 performed well in terms of discrimination with area under curve for PIM 2 scor e was 0.809 with 95% Confidence Interval of 0.0709 to 0.910 and Standard Error of 0.051. Good calibration was observed across deciles of risk as measured by Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test with P value of 0.163, chi-square value of 11.752 (8). Mortality observed in our PICU was 28.4% with standardized mortality ratio of 1. PIM 2 scoring system performed well in our PICU.

Lymphatic filariasis is a major public health problem. World Health Organization (WHO) has graded filariasis, as the second leading cause for permanent and long-term disability after leprosy. It is a chronic disabling parasitic disease prevalent in South Asia and Africa. A case of 26-year-old male resident of district Palpa presented with swelling of left inguinal region since 3-4 days and pain in inguinal region since a month. He had no history of trauma, fever or any other systemic symptoms. High frequency, high-resolution scrotal ultrasonography is a valuable technique for diagnosing scrotal filarial infection. This method revealed “Filarial Dance Sign” which is a distinctive and continuous pattern of movement of live microfilaria indicating active infection. It is a simple, rapid, sensitive and noninvasive technique. Noninvasive ultrasonography is preferable to the invasive FNAC.

This research work aims to study the effects of pre-weld and post-weld heat treatment conditions in the laser welding process on the microstructure of cast nickel based superalloy grade, GTD-111. Pre-weld heat treatment conditions consist of a solution treatment at a temperature of 1473 K for 7.2 ks and three over-aging processes at temperatures of 1393, 1413, 1433 K for 7.2 ks. All as-received and pre-weld heat treated specimens received the same post-weld heat treatment, which consisted of a solution treatment at a temperature of 1473 K for 7.2 ks and precipitation aging at a temperature of 1118 K for 86.4 ks. From the results, it can be seen that the higher temperature of the solution treatment with respect to the pre-weld heat treatment provided coarser gamma prime particles precipitating in a gamma matrix with a more uniform microstructure and very fine gamma prime precipitated particles. Furthermore, when followed by the post-weld heat treatment or standard heat treatment of the alloy, the final microstructures of all as-received and pre-weld heat treated specimens were very similar with regard to uniform gamma prime particles. No significant effect of pre-weld heat treatment conditions on the microstructure was found after post-weld heat treatment.

An aluminum alloy 8011 was reinforced with varying weight percentages of TiB2 using an in situ stir casting technique by adding inorganic halide salts of K2TiF6 and KBF4 in molten AA8011 matrix alloy. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were performed on the cast materials to confirm the presence and distribution of the reinforcements in the composite materials. To investigate the wear behavior of the cast materials, pin on disc wear testing was carried out at varied levels of sliding distance, amount of reinforcement, temperature, load and sliding velocity based on Taguchi's L18 orthogonal array with wear rate as the response. AA 8011 with a reinforcement of 4 wt.-%, 1500 m sliding distance, at a temperature of 100 °C, load 10 N and sliding velocity 2 m × s−1 provided the best wear resistance. The significance and influence of factors on wear rate were analyzed by an analysis of the variance.

Religion is not only a belief but a medium that makes people able to feel God's presence. The view of religion must be lived and practised in everyday life. The practice in modern life, peoples’ perspective is different in interpreting the religion, there are people who view religious beliefs as something that must be practised in ritual worship. Modern life challenges the society who is spoiled with technology, the crisis of meaning causes religion to become a necessity but only a formality. In anticipating all forms of erosion of faith, each person has different ways to determine the purpose of his life, so that different attitudes arise in interpreting religion

Misalignment between a worker's field of study and job has received much attention in the literature (Robst, 2007). Research shows that workers employed in areas unrelated to their fields of study earn lower salaries than those with the same level of education yet employed in positions related to their education. This paper estimates the educational mismatch's effect on wages and analyses its implications on job satisfaction, through analyzing data gleamed from a survey of a public metropolitan university's graduates, applied over the period of 2014-2017. The study seeks to answer the following: How does working outside of one's degree field affect earnings and job satisfaction? Which characteristics of educational and work pathways explain the misalignment between the field of study and type of employment? This study shows that those who are employed in positions unrelated to their areas of study earn less and enjoy less job satisfaction than those whose work is aligned with their field of study. Likewise, effects on job satisfaction are more pronounced three years after graduation, particularly for men with business and administration degrees compared to technology graduates, given lower expectations for professional development in their current positions.
Underground waterlines

In order to explore factors conditioning the political quietude of Ukrainian labor, this article analyzes ethnographic data collected at two large enterprises: the Kyiv Metro and the privatized electricity supplier Kyivenergo. Focusing on a recent labor conflict, I unpack various contexts condensed in it. I analyze the hegemonic configuration developed in the early 1990s, at the workplace and at the macro level, and follow its later erosion. Th is configuration has been based on labor hoarding, distribution of nonwage resources, and patronage networks, featuring the foreman as the nodal figure. On the macro scale, it relied on the mediation by unions, supported by resources accumulated during the Soviet era and the economic boom of the 2000s. The depletion of these resources has spelled the ongoing crisis of this configuration.
