Published: April 2022

Frequencies of wet and dry spells at eight stations Dindori, Peillt, Chandor Yeola Kalwan,. Sinnar, Satana and Nasik in Nasik district for the southwest monsoon period are 'studied.  The study is based on the daily rainfall data of the stations for 50 years from 1921 to 1970. It is seen that the frequencies of rain spells of less than five days are common and high for all stations and there is a general decrease in the frequencies for spells more than five days. The same analogy is noticed in dry spells also. The effect of persistence, the number of runs of different durations expected only on chance are a.1so worked out for both wet and dry spells for all the stations. The effect of orography on the frequencies is very well reflected, lower wet spells being more on the windward side facilities to of the hills and higher dry spells in the rain shadow region.

Authors: Basnet Prabhat , Chhetri Pramod Kumar , Thapa Kripesh
Published: April 2022

Background: Normal uterine size determination of nulliparous women is very important for the diagnosis of the various uterine pathology. There are different pathologies of uterus but before describing the pathological aspects normal dimension has to be defined. Ultrasound is the first tool for scanning female pelvis pathology. The objective of the study is determining the normal uterine dimension in the nulliparous adults and correlate with the age, height, weight and BMI.
Methods: The study was conducted in Department of Radiology and Imaging College of medical sciences, Bharatpur. Patient presenting with any other symptoms than pelvic cause are included in study with age group (15-25years). All ultrasound examinations were performed using Toshiba Aplio 500. A cross-sectional study is conducted among the 49 patients in College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur, over the period of one year (November 2020 to October 2021).
Results: Present study showed the mean length, AP diameter, width and volume of the uterus in nulliparous women between the ages of 15-25years. The mean length is 6.88±0.75cm, mean AP diameter is 3.89±0.44cm, mean width is 4.2±0.50 and mean volume is 61.41±16.96 cc. The present study showed the strong correlation between the weight of the patient and uterine dimension, however there is no significant correlation could be established between the age, height and body mass index of the patients with volume uterine dimension.
Conclusions: Normal uterine dimension in Nepalese population is similar to the Nigerian, Scandinavian and Iranian population however the dimensions are smaller than the European population which may be due to the body habitus and genetic factors.   There is significant correlation between the weight of patient and volume of the uterus.

Published: April 2022

Background: Acute febrile illness (AFI) is defined as a fever lasting less than 14 days with no evidence of organ-specific symptoms or signs of infection. Our aim was to determine the most common etiology of AFI with transaminitis and to find the relationship between clinical and laboratory investigation profile, as well as outcomes of illness.
Methods: This is a hospital based prospective study conducted in Chitwan Medical College and Teaching Hospital (CMC-TH) from 17 April 2021 to 18 October 2021. All patients >15 years of age admitted with acute febrile illness and elevated transaminases under Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) Unit of CMCTH were enrolled consecutively.
Results: The mean age of the patients (n=103) was 45.1 ± 16.8 years. There were almost equal proportion of males and females. The most common presenting symptom (besides fever) was headache, followed by myalgia, with a median duration of 5 days. Scrub typhus was the commonest diagnosis (60, 58.3%). A diagnosis of Acute Undifferentiated Febrile Illness (AUFI) was given in (39, 37.9%) patients. The three transaminitis severity groups (mild, moderate and severe) were not significantly different by age, gender and comorbidity status. Acute kidney injury and multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) were significantly associated with severe transaminitis (P<0.05). The mortality rate was also higher in the severe transaminitis group.
Conclusions: Scrub typhus has emerged as the most common cause of Acute Febrile Illness with transaminitis requiring hospital admission in this part of the country. Scrub typhus should be suspected in all patients who report with AFI with transaminitis in endemic areas.

Authors: Pokharel Sindu , Subba Ramesh , Subba Hem Kumari
Published: April 2022

Background: Mental illnesses cause significant suffering around the world. A limited number of people with psychiatric problems seek treatment in healthcare facilities when their condition is severe only. Treatment by faith healers and unqualified medical practitioners is frequent which lead to the delay in proper treatment. The objective of the study was to identify the pathway to care among clients attending at Psychiatric Outpatient Department of Chitwan Medical College, Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur.
Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional design was used and 166 clients attending at psychiatric OPD of Chitwan Medical College, Teaching Hospital were selected by using non-probability, consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected from 11th August 2019 to 6th September 2019 through face to face interview method using structured interview schedule. Collected data were further analyzed in SPSS version 23 using descriptive and inferential statistics
Results: The finding of the study revealed that 54.2% of clients first visited faith healer for initial treatment and only 16.9% visited psychiatrist directly for the treatment. Similarly, 53.6% of clients visited other personnel than psychiatrist due to their cultural belief and 59.6% of the clients had adequate level of awareness towards mental illness. Significant association was found between status of pathway to care and client’s sex, ethnic group and occupation.
Conclusions: It is concluded that mental illness clients first approached faith healer for their initial treatment due to their cultural belief. It is important that traditional healers and other treatment providers must be aware of and recognize the mental illnesses in order to treat mental patients early and refer to psychiatrist.

Chronic Crisis Financing? Fifty Years of Humanitarian Aid and Future Prospects
Authors: Milante Gary , Lilja Jannie
Published: April 2022

This study maps trends of humanitarian funding in the context of total aid at the coun-try level between 1969 and 2019 and estimates how these trends will change in the future. Historical trends show that the com-position of aid has changed significantly in the last two dec-ades: the humanitarian share of total aid to countries has increased from approxi-mately 5 per cent in the 1990s to 23 per cent in 2019. Humanitarian aid was originally intended to respond to short-term emergencies, how-ever, most of today’s humani-tarian financing goes to pro-tracted situations. Today many countries receive high levels of humanitarian assistance for a decade or longer, referred to here as ‘chronic’ cases. More than half of total global humanitarian assistance (59 per cent) in the decade 2010–19 went to chronic crises, typically synonymous with conflict-affected, fragile and refugee-hosting settings. These chronic crises have become more prevalent since 1995. Conservative forecasts suggest that 71 per cent of humanitarian assistance over the next decade will continue to go to countries receiving high levels of assistance today. The study concludes with open questions to policymakers regarding the use of the humanitarian financing instrument. In chronic crisis settings, the strategic balance between humanitarian, development and peacebuilding financing and the interplay between these streams will remain critical.

Published: April 2022

Nickel (Ni) concentration in soils is highly depended on the parent materials and the types of pollutant sources that plays a beneficial role in plant growth however; at high concentration it may cause toxicity for plants and creating hazards to animals and human. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the levels of Ni in soils, straw and grain of rice and wheat plants grown in the soils contaminated with Ni and evaluate its effect on human health. In the surface soil layers the total (31.4 ±8.02 mg kg-1) and available Ni concentration (3.10 ±0.91 mg kg-1) are slightly higher by 1.25 ±0.14 and 1.24 ±0.25 fold respectively, than the subsurface layers. Available Ni increased linearly with increasing Ni in soil (r = 0.91). A significant positive correlation was found between available Ni and soil OM content (r = 0.89), while a significant negative correlation was observed for soil CaCO3 percent (r = - 0.72) and soil pH (r = - 0.90). Rice Ni content of the straw (2.1 ±0.32 mg kg-1) and grains (0.44 ±0.07 mg kg-1) were significantly correlated with soil total Ni (r = 0.89 and 0.86) and available Ni (r = 0.84 and 0.74), respectively. Wheat Ni content of straw (1.68 ±0.28 mg kg-1) and grains (0.28 ±0.04 mg kg-1) were significantly correlated with soil total Ni (r = 0.87 and 0.81) and available Ni (r = 0.84 and 0.85), respectively. By increasing straw Ni content grains increased (r = 0.89 for rice and r = 0.95 for wheat). Grains of rice and wheat exhibited lower Ni concentration than that of the straw (20.9% ± 1.64 and 16.7% ± 1.04, respectively). According to FAO/WHO rice and wheat grains contain normal Ni concentration and no evidence of possible potential human health risk with grains consumption.

Selain itu, mereka juga berasumsi bahwa yang melaksanakan nikah di KUA adalahcalon pasutri yang berstatus janda/duda atau mereka-mereka yang bermasalah (Hamil diluarNikah). Sedangkan, Hukum Islam tidak menjelaskan secara jelas mengenai tempat dimanaaqad nikah itu dilangsungkan baik dalam Al-Quran maupun dalam hadis, hanya sajamenjelaskan bahwa aqad nikah harus dilangsungkan disatu majlis yang sama dan tidakdiselingi dengan perkataan atau perbuatan lain yang dapat memisahkan antara ijab dan qabul.Namun, dengan kaidah urf alasan masyarakat Desa Alahan yang lebih memilih untukmenikah dirumah dapat diterima masyarakat, karena pada hakikatnya aqad nikah dikatakansah apabila memenuhi persyaratan sesuai dengan syariat Islam dan pernikahan itu dilakukansecara sah dan resmi secara Hukum Islam dan juga secara Hukum Negara.

Authors: Patron Rossana , Terra Inés
Published: April 2022

The paper discusses the links between skill requirements in the labour market and alternative trade patterns using a CGE applied on updated data for Uruguay. The results for alternative scenarios in the long term show that, the wage gap would widen should the pattern of trade growth follow the current trend; however, an enhanced demand of commodities would favour a reduction in the wage gap. The exercises provide insights on the economy-wide effects in the long term of the interaction of trends in trade and accumulation of skills, and thus on the role of the current policy of development of human resources.
La relación entre el Comercio Interregional y la conectividad del transporte en España. Un análisis de dependencia espacial
Authors: Alamá-Sabater Luisa , Márquez-Ramos Laura , Suárez-Burguet Celestino
Published: April 2022

This article analyzes the influence of transport connectivity on trade flows between regions from the perspective of spatial dependence. To do this, we consider two neighborhood criteria in a spatially autoregressive gravity model. The first geographic criteria is first-contiguity , and secondly we incorporate transport connectivity. The results show the importance of logistics platforms to meet the demand for transport infrastructure in the Spanish regions. Since it is not common to have disaggregated database on trade flows within a country, or regional indicators of the degree of development of logistics, this also justifies the need for progress in the achievement of such information for other regions and countries.

Regímenes Jubilatorios en países emergentes de Latinoamérica: Pueden coexistir los sistemas de capitalización individual y los de reparto?
Authors: Rezk Ernesto
Published: April 2022

Experts have been pointing out that, although fully funded pension schemes implemented by several Latin American countries gathered political rejection and experienced important setbacks, they were resorted to in response to the problems faced in the eighties and the nineties by unfunded regimes. In this connection, the idea is that both individual capitalization and PAYG systems can and should coexist provided that efficacy in ensuring expected levels of coverage, equity and efficiency and in guaranteeing also long run financial sustainability be appropriately reached. Nevertheless, several preconditions appear necessary for the preceding scenario to be possible: coverage and tax compliance need to be expanded in both regimes particularly to include the self employed workers, individual capitalization needs be improved and turned more attractive by reducing administrative and commercial costs and by offering a more varied portfolio composition concerning instruments and risk levels. Finally, despite that competition between regimes, by permitting affiliates to switch from one to another, promotes efficiency, non contributory pensions will still be necessary, on grounds of distributional, solidarity and equity goals.
Cambio Demográfico y Federalismo Fiscal Proyecciones del gasto público consolidado y por nivel de gobierno 2009-2050
Authors: Rottenschweiler Sergio
Published: April 2022

Demographic change and population aging will impact the level of public spending in Argentina, but it will not be homogeneous among the functions of the State. Additionally, the existence of a federal system with the corresponding division of responsibilities among the various levels of government will also imply that demographic change will induce a differential impact on them. In this context, the aim of this paper is to analyze the effects of aging on public expenditure, by function, and by different government levels, starting from the construction of different age profiles in public programs.

La Carta Magna. Reflexiones sobre su significado ocho siglos después
Authors: Bara Ricardo
Published: April 2022

The Carta Magna –agreed upon by John, king of England, and a group of bishops and feudal barons of his kingdom who had rebelled its authority in the year 1215- contains general principles on the good use of power. Several of the most significant principles relate to tax matters. Taxation is a powerful source of influence on the life of the countries and the institutional changes they give rise to depend on how people in each historical moment understand how these interrelationships between economics and politics act. The 800 years since the agreement of the Magna Carta allow a reflection on the importance of the relationship between institutions, taxation, economics and politics and this is of the utmost importance for the understanding of contemporary economic, political and fiscal issues. The objective of this article is to make an analysis of the most significant clauses of the Magna Carta, that is, those that constitute a cornerstone of modern economic-political institutions.
Inserción laboral de los graduados de la UNdeC: efectos sobre los salarios del mismatch en educación y calificaciones
Authors: D’Alessandro Marilyn Estefani
Published: April 2022

In this paper we look at the effects that the mismatches in education and qualifications have on the income of graduates of the Universidad Nacional de Chilecito (UNdeC). We estimate alternative specifications using Ordered Probit and Interval Regression models. Both estimators offer similar results: higher levels of matching in qualifications increase the probability of belonging to higher income intervals; while educational mismatch reduces such probability, although the latter are not statistically significant. Being male and having parents with university education are also positively correlated with a higher likelihood of having higher income.
La crisis europea y el mito de la recuperación irlandesa: una mirada
Authors: Biagetti Marco
Published: April 2022

In this paper I first review the main points of the European crisis, showing that the credibility of a time-infinite fixed exchange rate, together with the free movement of capitals in the EU determined overconfidence, an excessive fall in interest rates, and overborrowing that made the system collapse when the external?originated crisis struck, damaging public finances as the banking system had to be rescued by governments. Secondly, I scrutinize an apparent success story of austerity-linked recovery from the crisis: Ireland. I outline that the outgoing government in 2010 acted well in the midst of the financial crisis, regardless of the effectiveness and desirability of the austerity measures. But I also collect facts and figures evidencing that what appears to be a true recovery is only being obtained by means of some unavoidable accounting tricks depending on a new mandatory national accounting EU rule about the treatment of investments. Unfortunately all this produces inflated figures for the GDP and GNP, while the standards of living of Irish citizens continue to fall behind.

Los Activos Intangibles en la Investigación Contable orientada al Mercado de Capitales: Revisión de la literatura empírica sobre su relevancia para la valoración de las Empresas
Authors: Ficco Cecilia , Werbin Eliana
Published: April 2022

The research stream on the relevance of intangible assets for the valuation of companies at the level of capital markets has been developing with a sustained interest, which finds its full justification in the current accounting model, where controversies on the accounting treatment of these assets still persist. In this context, the present research aims to review the empirical literature that has examined the value relevance of intangible assets, in order to present the current state of research in this area. From the methodological point of view, a descriptive and documentary investigation has been carried out, concretized through the review and analysis of the most significant literature produced in the last three decades and in different accounting environments. The review reflects strong evidence regarding the existence of a significant and positive association between the global figure corresponding to intangible assets and the market value of companies shares, as well as between that value and the item referred to identifiable intangible assets. However, the evidence is not entirely conclusive regarding the value relevance of goodwill. It is also noted that most of the studies have been carried out on capital markets with an important degree of development.

Authors: Buraschi Mónica , Amato Celina N. , Peretti María Florencia
Published: April 2022

Organizational sustainability, conceived as the balanced or tense relationships among economic, social and environmental dimensions, is a concept that has been addressed by the Global Value Chain [GVC] approach from different perspectives. The purpose of this work is to develop a conceptual framework that integrates some of these perspectives, organized in three groups: managerial, institutional and critical. After a literature review of the most relevant theoretical approaches on sustainability in GVC, a conceptual framework was constructed, which complements and moderates the traditional tenets in upgrading assessment in GVC, concluding that an integrate analysis makes a contribution over the separate perspectives.
Financiación de la campaña y elecciones nacionales: Una investigación empírica para la Argentina, 2005-2013
Authors: Freille Sebastián , Soffietti Pablo
Published: April 2022

In this paper we examine the impact of campaign contributions on electoral results in Argentine national elections for the period 2005-2013. Using previously unavailable micro-level data on private campaign contributions we test several hypothesis concerning the relationship between contributions and electoral results. Our findings suggest that while parties receive both public and private funds, only private contributions are significantly associated with electoral performance –i.e. the higher the ratio of private to public contributions the higher the vote share. Interestingly, while challengers see an increase in vote shares as a result of an increase in private contributions, this is not the case for incumbents. One possible explanation for this is that incumbents have other sources of funding available to them –official advertising, informal campaign spending- which may be substitutes to formal private funding. This may have important implications in terms of policy design as limiting (or even prohibiting) private contributions may actually be more detrimental to challengers than to incumbents, with the likely effect of increasing incumbency advantage even further.
THE SYSTEM OF SEMANTIC VALENCY IN THE KAZAKH LANGUAGE
Authors: Amirbekova A. B. , Urakova L , Talgat kyzy G.
Published: April 2022

The article considers the potential of creating a system of categories of consistency and valence in the Kazakh language. To distinguish the typical types of phrases that make up the valence system, an experiment is carried out. In the Kazakh language, phrases are not enough to be divided into two parts: syntactic and lexical. The issue of expanding forms, concretizing patterns, in-depth study of the abilities of the valence of the Kazakh language will be considered. Compatibility is the main property of language units based on the syntagmatic relation. The syntagmatic relation is the ability of linguistic symbols to be harmoniously combined in accordance with the regularity of the language, depending on the order of the sequential arrangement in the composition of the text, sentence, word. Compatibility is a linguistic category that functions in all linguistic areas. The stereotypical concept “compatibility is a combination of two or more words” is recognized only as a form of grammatical compatibility. Thus, compatibility is an important category in determining the phonetic, lexical, morphological, and syntactic patterns of a language. Here compatibility is considered equally with the concept of valency. Because valence itself is the main indicator that refl the ability of all language units in the structure of the text, starting with the sound layer.

Published: April 2022

The article deals with the problem of metalinguistic markup of texts within the National Corpus. The meta-markup systems of the proposed Kazakh texts are described. Meta-markup includes a link to the text of parameters that characterize the text as a whole. Meta-markup, allows the user to search and select texts to compose an internal structure with specified properties. Meta-tagged materials are an indispensable source in research work on the collection of materials related to a certain period, style, author, topic, etc. One of the main tasks when choosing a literature when creating a corpus is taking into account the genre diversity of texts. The necessity of introducing meta-markings in the manufacture of the case is not controversial. They allow the user of the corpus, especially the correspondent researchers, to quickly and easily find any information they need.

In addition, linguistic information is extracted whenever possible from all language levels. But in the corpus, the provision of linguistic information at all levels at once is extremely difficult and the possibilities are limited. Nevertheless, a program of metatext markings and linguistic markings – morphological, word-formation, phonetic, morpho-semantic markings, has been launched in the “corpus of Kazakh texts”. The article describes the types of metatext on the corpus (23 parameters), the mechanisms of functioning of the program of linguistic markup.
THE PROBLEMS OF DUPLICITY IN THE FUNCTIONING OF LEGAL TERMS
Authors: Kulmanov S. K.
Published: April 2022

The article analyzes the use of legal terms in legislation, in the dictionary of approved terms, in the Kazakh-Russian, Russian-Kazakh terminological dictionaries of the branches of jurisprudence, in the office work and archives of economics and finance.

Legal terms were considered and the following general points were highlighted: 1) the use of one term in Russian in two or more variants in the Kazakh language (these variants in the Kazakh language are also used as the equivalent of another term in Russian); 2) the use of one term in the Kazakh language as the equivalent of two or more terms in the Russian language (these variants in Russian are also used as the equivalent of another term in the Kazakh language); 3) the use of one-root or terms formed from the same root in Russian in different versions in the Kazakh language (in addition, there is a translation of the same word with different endings or without them).

The article identifies and establishes the reasons for some inconsistencies in the use of legal terms, which are explained by both linguistic and extralinguistic factors (for example, some scientifically grounded conclusions of industry experts, such as: «the factor of tradition», the semantic potential, the descent of terms and etc.); bringing to the forefront the argument about the invariability of the terminology used in the legislative documents; Reflection in approved terminological dictionaries of approved terms, and at the same time not subjected to appropriate unification work; in the research article the main necessary systemic works for eliminating such gaps and shortcomings, which are fundamentally important for the terminology, are listed.

Published: April 2022

Turks are a nation evenly distributed throughout the world, rich in history, culture and literature. It can be said that most of the Turkic peoples are concentrated in Central Asia and Kazakhstan. In addition, these territories are completely covered by language groups common to the Turkic-speaking peoples. The method of comparative historical research of issues related to the phonetic system, vocabulary, grammatical structure of the Turkic languages also describes the patterns of their development. From this point of view, nouns common to the Turkic peoples represent a unique treasure of the Turkic dictionary. It is important that the Turkic languages have a centuries-old unity and origin, as well as their place in the new language policy of modern society. The article deals with the area of common nouns in the Turkic languages, their linguistic and cognitive nature.
Cessão de créditos tributários: a experiência de securitização da dívida ativa do estado de minas gerais
Authors: Monteiro de Queiroz Cristina
Published: April 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho foi entender se a operação de securitização de créditos de ICMS realizada pelo Estado de Minas Gerais em 2012 estava de acordo com (i) a legislação federal para cessão de dívida ativa e (ii) os princípios e conceitos do direito tributário. Para tanto, descreveu-se uma operação de securitização típica no mercado privado e a estrutura da operação realizada pelo Estado de Minas Gerais. Ademais, discutiu-se conceitos como competência tributária, capacidade ativa tributária e sua delegabilidade. O princípio da eficiência e a baixa arrecadação da dívida ativa também foram abordados. Constatou-se que os créditos de ICMS não foram cedidos, apenas o direito autônomo ao recebimento destes. Além disso, como o Estado de Minas Gerais estava mais exposto ao risco da inadimplência, a cessão dos créditos de ICMS foi caracterizada como não definitiva. A hipótese de pesquisa de que a operação não respeitou a legislação foi refutada, uma vez que, à época da operação, não havia vedação para as cessões não definitivas.

Authors: Rovan Daria , Trupčević Goran , Glasnović Gracin Dubravka
Published: April 2022

The aim of the study was to explore pre-service primary school teachers' motivational beliefs about mathematics in the light of the expectancy-value theory. We wanted to find out to what extent the motivational beliefs of pre-service teachers are related to their previous experiences in mathematics and to their engagement in learning mathematics and mathematics anxiety. The participants were 237 pre-service primary school teachers in their first year of study. They completed a mathematics exam and a questionnaire on their motivational beliefs (self-efficacy and subjective value), previous experiences in mathematics (level of high school math program, mathematics competencies, epistemic beliefs and achievement goals during high school), engagement and mathematics anxiety. The results of hierarchical regression analyses show that previous experiences with mathematics are important predictors of self-efficacy and subjective value. Furthermore, motivational beliefs are significant predictors of the pre-service teachers' engagement in learning mathematics and mathematics anxiety, along with their previous experiences with mathematics. The results are in line with the expectancy- -value theory and indicate that it is important to foster the development of adaptive beliefs about mathematics during the initial education of pre-service teachers.

Published: April 2022

The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of sexual harassment perpetrated by coaches in youth sports activities and to examine the association of those experiences with depression, anxiety, and stress in later life. Study participants were young men and women (n = 501; Mage = 20,86, SD = 1,81) who participated in sports before they turned 18 years old. The results showed that 25 % of participants experienced some form of sexual harassment by coaches while they were minors. Participants who had this kind of experience obtained higher results on depression, anxiety, and stress scales. The results indicate the need to undertake measures aimed at preventing and stopping sexual harassment in youth sport.
Positive and Assertive Disciplining of Students with Attention Difficulties
Authors: Vlah Nataša , Velki Tena , Zrilić Smiljana
Published: April 2022

The aim of the research is to examine the characteristics of students and teachers in predicting positive and assertive disciplinary procedures in inclusive elementary school classes in Croatia. The study was conducted with teachers from 125 elementary schools in Croatia (N = 539), who assessed themselves and their students, with at least 7 out of 9 symptoms of inattention. Teachers assessed their relationship with each student and gave assessments on the Vanderbilt ADHD Teacher Rating Scale (hyperactivity-impulsivity, antisocial and emotional problems), and the Scale of Misbehavior Management Strategy (positive and assertive disciplinary procedures). Rewards, praise, and positive reinforcement are more often applied by teachers to students with more pronounced symptoms of antisociality and poorer academic performance when they assess that they have a positive interpersonal relationship with these students. For sanctions and negative consequences to be applied to students, it was only important that the students showed more symptoms of antisociality. Quality inclusive work through the application of positive disciplinary measures requires knowledge of the developmental characteristics of students and investment in a positive interpersonal relationship with them.
