Authors: Poznyak Stepan , Papish Ihor , Ivaniuk Halyna , Yamelynets Taras
Published: July 2019

The scheme of soil-geographical zonation of Lviv oblast is developed on the principles of structural approach to the spatial organization of soil cover. Criteria for allocation of the ranked taxonomic units, their spatial and genetic properties are qualitative and genetic indicators of soil cover with the analysis of the spatial arrangement of soil combinations and structures.
The following taxonomic units are identified in the proposed scheme of soil-geographical zonation: soil-geographic kraina (soil-geographic country), soil-bioclimatic zona/poias (soil-geographic zone/mountain belt), krai (region), okrug (county or mountainous soil region), rayon (district), masyv (massif).
A mandatory criterion for all taxonomic units of soil-geographical zonation is the type of soil cover mesostructures (spatial-geometric characteristics of elemental soil areals and their spatial structures, as well as the dominated class of soil combinations).
Two soil-geographic kraina (countries) are identified within Lviv oblast: the East European Plain and the Carpathians; three soil-bioclimatic zones: moraine-sander (popilnyakova) zone of mixed forests, broadleaf forest, forest-steppe (loess) and mountain-brownsoil zone; six soil krai: Malopoliskyi, Volynskyi, Roztots’ko-Opilskyi, Zahidnopodilskyi, Peredkarpatskyi highland, the Carpathian mountain; 13 soil counties and 4 regions.
Key words: zonation, soil cover structure, zone, krai, okrug, Lviv oblast.

Published: July 2019

Introducción. La anemia en los niños es un problema de salud pública importante en nuestro país, siendo la anemia por deficiencia de hierro la más frecuente. La frecuencia de anemia en el interior del país es mayor a lo observado en Montevideo. Sin embargo, no existen datos específicos del Departamento de Salto. Objetivos. Determinar la prevalencia de anemia en niños y niñas de 6 a 48 meses que concurren a dos Centros de Atención a la Primera Infancia (CAIF) de la ciudad de Salto y analizar los factores asociados. Metodología. Se determino los niveles de hemoglobina por punción digital en 240 niños de dos CAIF, se relevaron los antecedentes perinatales del carnet del niño/a y datos de ancestralidad por medio de una encuesta a los responsables de los niños. Resultados. La prevalencia de anemia fue de 22,5% en toda la muestra, siendo levemente mayor en el CAIF2 (27,4%) que en el CAIF1(18,4%). La frecuencia de anemia es significativamente menor en los niños que tuvieron lactancia materna exclusiva hasta los 6 meses de edad, mientras que las restantes variables analizadas no presentaron asociación con la anemia. Conclusiones. La disminución observada de la frecuencia de anemia comparada con lo reportado en 2011 sugiere que las políticas de fortificación con hierro de los alimentos y de administración de hierro profiláctico a niños entre 6 y 24 meses ha sido positiva.   Adicionalmente, la menor frecuencia de anemia observada en el CAIF1 indica la importancia de la acción coordinada entre los servicios de salud y la sociedad.

Authors: Studies International Journal of Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh
Published: July 2019

This research addresses some of the deviant customs which affect the determination of the criteria of competence in marriage as a result of variations of this determination according to the variation of time and place. The customs that are intended for research in this study are three. First, defects related to outward appearance in the suitor and its effects on his competence; second, suitor’s belonging to a state other than that of the fiancée; and third, his wealth or poverty and its effect on his competence. The research concluded that competence criteria are not fixed. Rather, they vary with the variation of situations. Moreover, the customs mentioned earlier have certain serious and harmful effects such as women committing prohibited things, their delinquency of temptation and sinful acts, and the spread of spinsterhood in the society. Also, the determination of competence in marriage in an unnatural manner is harmful to the family and the entire society due to its contradiction to the Shariah’s objectives of preserving the religion and progeny.

To understand decision making within the organization it is useful to view decision making as part of the overall administrative process. In general, individuals tend to use simple strategies, even if in any complex matter, to get the desired solution, because the solution is limited by imperfect information, time and costs, limited thinking and psychological stress experienced by decision makers.

Discrepancies in Self- and Informant-Reports of Personality Pathology: Examining the DSM-5 Section III Trait Model
Authors: Carnovale Michael , Carlson Erika , Quilty Lena C. , Bagby Michael
Published: July 2019

A proposed feature of personality pathology involves disturbances in identity, of which a lack of insight is one such manifestation. From recommendations in the literature, one potential approach to assess and quantify such impairment and link it to personality pathology, would be to obtain self- and informant reports and subsequently index the degree personality pathology severity exacerbates self-other discrepancies. The current study examines the degree to which self- and informant-reports of DSM-5 Section III trait scores are discrepant (i.e., mean-level discrepancies and correlational accuracy), as well as whether general personality pathology severity moderates these characteristics. Target participants (N = 208) in an elevated-risk community sample completed the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5), and knowledgeable informants rated targets using the informant version of the PID-5. General personality pathology severity was assessed via an aggregate of Five Factor Model PD prototype scores derived from self-report, informant-report, and interview ratings. Mean-level discrepancies and correlational accuracy (and their moderation by general personality pathology) for PID-5 domains, facets, and PD scores were subsequently examined. Results suggested that targets tended to mostly rate themselves only slightly lower than informants across all PID-5 scores (median dz = .21), and correlational accuracy across all PID-5 scores was moderate (median r = .33). Importantly, however, mean-level discrepancies increased as general personality pathology severity scores increased. Implications and future directions for the multi-method assessment of dimensional personality pathology are discussed.
Attention Bias to and Recognition of Sexual Images
Authors: Novák Ondřej , Bártová Klára , Vagenknecht Václav , Klapilová Kateřina
Published: July 2019

Attention to sexual stimuli is necessary for the development of sexual response, yet while there is some evidence of attention bias in favor of sexual stimuli, the direction and magnitude of the effect remain so far unknown. A high-powered sample of 113 participants was tested using the dot-probe task and picture recognition task to measure visuospatial attention to erotic images. Participants showed no attention bias in the dot-probe task (rB = 0.201, p = 0.064) but were significantly better at recognizing erotic rather than neutral or training pictures (d = 1.445 and 1.461, respectively, both p < 0.001). These results indicate that spatial attention bias to sexual pictures is small, negligible, eventually nonexistent, or else the dot-probe task is not a reliable tool to assess it. Results of the picture recognition task, on the other hand, show that sexual stimuli are prioritized in memory and this should be explored in detail in future research.
The Rise of Institutional Investors
Authors: Fichtner Jan
Published: July 2019

During the last decades, institutional investors gained an ever more important position as managers of assets and owners of corporations. By demanding (short-term) shareholder value, some of them have driven the financialization of corporations and of the financial sector itself. This chapter first characterizes the specific roles that private equity funds, hedge funds, and mutual funds have played in this development. It then moves on to focus on one group of institutional investors that is rapidly becoming a pivotal factor for corporate control in many countries – the “Big Three” large passive asset managers BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street.
Are MOOC Learning Analytics Results Trustworthy? With Fake Learners, They Might Not Be!
Authors: Alexandron Giora , Yoo Lisa Y , Ruipérez-Valiente José A. , Lee Sunbok , Pritchard David E
Published: July 2019

The rich data that Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) platforms collect on the behavior of millions of users provide a unique opportunity to study human learning and to develop data-driven methods that can address the needs of individual learners. This type of research falls into the emerging field of learning analytics. However, learning analytics research tends to ignore the issue of the reliability of results that are based on MOOCs data, which is typically noisy and generated by a largely anonymous crowd of learners. This paper provides evidence that learning analytics in MOOCs can be significantly biased by users who abuse the anonymity and open-nature of MOOCs, for example by setting up multiple accounts, due to their amount and aberrant behavior. We identify these users, denoted fake learners, using dedicated algorithms. The methodology for measuring the bias caused by fake learners’ activity combines the ideas of Replication Research and Sensitivity Analysis. We replicate two highly-cited learning analytics studies with and without fake learners data, and compare the results. While in one study, the results were relatively stable against fake learners, in the other, removing the fake learners’ data significantly changed the results. These findings raise concerns regarding the reliability of learning analytics in MOOCs, and highlight the need to develop more robust, generalizable and verifiable research methods.

Cystic Meningiomas: A Radiological and Histological Study and Pre Operative Diagnostic Errors
Authors: Chandra Jaideep , KC Raj Kumar
Published: July 2019

INTRODUCTION: Meningiomas are solid neoplasms, cysts are extremely rare, diagnostically elusive, and behave differently. Therefore, a study was initiated comparing our cases with various series. This is the second largest series so far reported. We tried to hypothesize how to eliminate diagnostic errors in this study, while few interesting points were discovered.

 MATERIAL AND METHODS: All meningiomas operated in the last seventeen years were reviewed. It was a retrospective study. Diagnostic errors, clinical behaviour and histopathology were reviewed. Planning of surgery and prognostication demands that the diagnosis be established pre-operatively and since these tumours may mimic other brain tumour types on radiology , factors that may lead to better diagnostic accuracy were tried to be established. Categorization of the tumours with different cyst types according to various classifications was done. The follow up period was two months to ten years.

 RESULTS: Out of 530 meningiomas, we found 20 with cystic changes.. There mean age was 47.5 years. The commonest symptoms were raised intra cranial pressure, hemiparesis, memory loss, behavioral changes, vision loss,  papilloedem and cranial nerve palsies. The most common histological variety was meningothelial meningioma. The incidence of high grade or malignant tumors was 30 %. Based on radiology, the highest diagnostic accuracy was achieved in 62.5% cases only.

 CONCLUSION: Cystic meningiomas continue to pose diagnostic challenges.  Multi-planar contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will help in establishing accurate diagnosis, it reveals cysts missed on computed tomography (CT) scans. This would lead to accurate prognostication and better surgical planning with the aim of preventing recurrences.

A Comparison of Problems Faced by Mathematics Teacher - Educators in Developing and Developed Countries - A Case Study of Nepal and England
Authors: Koirala Hari Prasad
Published: July 2019

There is still a shortage of qualified mathematics teachers in schools in developed and developing countries. It may be because of the problems facing mathematics teachers in schools and the problems facing mathematics teacher-educators in colleges of education who are responsible in producing qualified mathematics teachers. Mathematics teachers and educators are more concerned about the former and the latter is usually neglected. This article tries to trace out the problems facing mathematics teacher-educators in both developing and developed countries on the basis of a study carried out in Nepal and a similar study in England. 15 out of 16 and 135 out of 247 mathematical educators in Nepal and England respectively took part in these studies. It was found that lack of books and journals, teaching facilities and aids and negligible grants for research or personal studies are the main problems for mathematics teacher-educators both in Nepal and England. However it was seen that the problems faced by mathematical educators in Nepal were more serious than those of England.Key words: Mathematics teacher; Developing and Developed countries; Nepal and EnglandTribhuvan University JournalVolume XIV, 1991Page: 15-25Uploaded date: 5 October, 2010

Authors: Baral Keshar J
Published: July 2019

This paper examines the effectiveness of Master programs run in Prithivi Narayan Campus (PNC) from both financial and academic perspectives. None of the programs is cost effective. Overall, cost recovery rate is very low, and cost of higher education measured in terms of cost per student is relatively high. None of the Master programs excepting the Sociology and Anthropology (will henceforth be mentioned as Sociology) is financially sustainable. Academic performance in terms of pass percent is not satisfactory. Thus, this paper will provide T.U. authority the valuable information for right course of future decision to make the Master programme more effective in its constituent campuses.Key Words: Master programme; Financially sustainable; Prithivi Narayan CampusTribhuvan University JournalVol. XXV, No. 1, 2005Page:91-110Uploaded date: 26, September, 2010
The Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopic Study of the Pitting Corrosion on Sputter-Deposited W-Ti Alloys in 1 M NaOH Solution
Authors: Bhattarai Jagadeesh
Published: July 2019

The pitting corrosion of the passive films formed on the surface of sputter-deposited W-30Ti and W-53Ti alloys after immersion for 24 hours in alkaline 1 M NaOH soution at 25°C was studied by using the surface sensitive technique of the confocal scanning laser microscopic (CSLM) technique including corrosion tests and electrochemical measurements. The higher corrosion rate of the W-30Ti alloy (i.e., about 3x 10-2 mm/y) than those of the W-53Ti and W-90Ti alloys (i.e., about 4-5 x 10-3 mm/y) was mostly due to the deep type of pitting corrosion observed on the surface of the passive film formed on the W-30Ti alloy in 1 M NaOH solution. The shallow type of pits was developed on the surface of the passive film formed on the W-53Ti alloy, whereas no pitting corrosion on the titanium-rich W-90Ti alloy.Keywords: Pitting corrosion; Open circuit corrosion potential; Corrosion test; CSLM studyTribhuvan University Journal Vol. XXVI, No. 1, 2009 Page: 17-26
Re-Thinking of Popular Culture Studies as Interdisciplinary Subject
Authors: Pun Min Bahadur
Published: July 2019

This paper discusses the emergence of popular culture as an interdisciplinary subject of research. The simplest way to define the term 'popular culture's is a culture widely favored by many people. It refers to beliefs, practices and objects widely shared among people. Some of the examples of popular culture are romance novels, science fiction, photography, pop music, journalism, advertising, television, video, computers, Internet, etc. The study of popular culture entered a new phase in the cultural and intellectual history with the establishment of the Center for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) led by Richard Hoggart and Stuart Hall. Two things happened to the study of popular culture as an interdisciplinary subject: (1) the study of popular culture has included wide range of issues (2) scholars have intellectual freedom in this field, and they show no interest in establishing clear boundaries around it. Popular culture is always defined in contrast to other conceptual categories such as folk culture, mass culture, dominant culture, and working class culture. Thus, popular culture becomes the 'Other' for them, which largely depends on the context of use. Lastly, the paper discusses the role of popular culture in history, anthropology, sociology and literary theories. In theory, the study of popular culture is always around the debate on postmodernism. It assumes that postmodern culture no longer recognizes the distinction between high culture and popular culture.Key Words: Popular culture; Romance novels; Science fiction; Photography; Pop musicTribhuvan University Journal Vol. XXVI, No. 1, 2009 Page: 27-36

Authors: Bhagat Rakesh Prasad
Published: July 2019

Plastic (polythene) granules of industrial use was obtained in the gizzard of semi-wild (freely inhibitory i.e., not captivated) common rock pigeon. Columba, livia intermidia Linnaeus, 1758, inhabiting at an altitudinal range of 72-80 m in Biratnagar, Nepal while its gizzard was cut open to remove internal content. Since then, gizzard of about 36 such pigeon were cut open to trace granules. In the gizzard of 19 birds, plastic granules were obtained. Such occurrence may be due to hunger or confusion or both or due to overwhelmingly prevalent situation of the present environment.Key Words: Plastic grains; Semi-wild pigeon; Columba livia intermedia; Biratnagar.Tribhuvan University Journal Volume XXVI No. 1, 2009 Page: 81-84
