Purpose. The authors of the article deal with a very topical issue - providing safe evacuation of people from general educational institutions in case of fire. The authors propose their solutions how to provide the conditions for safe evacuation of people from schools and preschools when a fire breaks out, including changes and amendments to codes and regulations in the field of fire safety. Methods. The requirements laid down in fire codes and regulations have been analyzed in the article, the statistical data on fires in socially significant facilities for the period 2019-2020 are presented. Findings. The analysis of the statistical data about fires in schools and preschools, about fatalities and injured people in these fires leads to the conclusion that supervision bodies of EMERCOM of Russia must focus their attention on training teaching staff and schoolchildren in matters regarding fire safety, as well as conducting fire drills on the timely evacuation of children. The authors emphasize the necessity to determine time factor for conducting hands-on training on evacuation of schoolchildren and suggest indicating in the evacuation plan time value needed to evacuate people, during which it is required to leave the floor (building) after the fire alarm signal to start evacuation. Besides these proposals, the authors suggest some changes and amendments to fire safety codes and regulations aimed at minimizing possible fires at facilities of this category to be protected. Research application field. The authors consider it appropriate to recommend to fire safety specialists to conduct fire drills on evacuating people from premises accommodating large numbers of people on the example of several facilities to be protected (a school, a preschool) taking into account the required time for evacuation. In accordance with the findings of the research it is possible to work out "Methodology on organizing and conducting fire evacuation drills". Conclusions. Specifying the time required for evacuation of people from buildings and premises will have a positive impact on the effectiveness of fire drills, will help determine whether people are able to evacuate at a well-defined time. It is reasonable to conduct similar research for other types of premises accommodating large numbers of people - healthcare institutions, social protection institutions and cultural institutions.

Background:

Acrometastases, secondary tumors affecting oncological patients with systemic metastases, are associated with a poor prognosis. In rare cases, acrometastases may precede establishing the primary tumor diagnosis.

Case Description:

A 72-year-old female heavy smoker presented with low back pain, and right lower extremity sciatica/radiculopathy. X-rays, CT, MR, and PET-CT scans documented primary lung cancer with multi-organ metastases and accompanying pathological fractures involving the sacrum (S1) and right 4th digit. She underwent a S1 laminectomy and amputation of the distal phalanx of the right fourth finger. The histological examination documented a poorly differentiated pulmonary adenocarcinoma infiltrating bone and soft tissues in the respective locations. The patient was treated with a course of systemic immunotherapy (i.e. pembrolizumab). At 6-month follow-up, the patient is doing well and can stand and walk without pain.

Conclusion:

Spontaneous sacral fractures may be readily misdiagnosed as osteoporotic and/or traumatic lesions. However, in this case, the additional simultaneous presence of a lytic finger lesion raised the suspicion that these were both metastatic tumors. Such acrometastases, as in this case attributed to a lung primary, may indeed involve the spine.

The Impact of Relationship Lending on Bank Loan Process for Korean SMEs
Authors: Hwang Soo-Young , Lee Jung-Jin , Kim Yong-Deok
Published: October 2021

We investigate the effects of the bank-firm relationships on the decision making process regarding loan application, loan approval, and loan interest rate. To do this, we use data from 2016, and 2017 Surveys of Korea Small Business Finance conducted by Industrial Bank of Korea. We found that a more intense bank-firm relationship increases the likelihood of loan approval. Also, SMEs borrowing from lower number of banks and with more concentrated loans in main bank seem to obtain credit from main bank at lower interest rate than others. But applying for a loan is not related to the bank-firm relationship. This findings suggest that a close bank-firm relationship can reduce information asymmetry problem and alleviate SMEs’ credit constraint. Also bank-firm relationships seem to be important in determining the loan interest rate. As a relsult, our findings support that relationship lending has a beneficial effect on the supply side of the Korean SME credit market.

In presented article we have described examples of children’s strategies for meaning fulfilment in the verbal and visual code. In conducted research, we attempted to reconstruct children’s abilities of conceptualizing objects with (1) prototypical, (2) prototypical and individual features, and (3) nonprototypical features. We were interested also in children’s methods of categorization (recognizing an object at various levels of abstraction) and constructing knowledge in terms of selected domains (appearance, environment, behavior and the relationship between animals and humans). 170 children of two age groups (3/4 and 4/5 years old) participated in the study. They were first asked to recognize an object on the basis of selected features shown in pictures. Then children were interviewed and asked to make a drawing. Research has shown that exposing children to a fragment of an image allows them to recognize the whole object and express their personal knowledge. The presented research showed also that children make conceptualization mainly through personal experiences and that when describing animals, children focus on observable animal activity and behavior, as well as animal appearance, size, the environment of living and the relation with humans.

Published: October 2021

In this study, we propose a new extension of the Dagum distribution called the alpha power transformed Dagum distribution. Basic statistical properties of the new distribution such as; quantile function, raw and incomplete moments, moment generating function, order statistics, Rényi entropy, stochastic ordering and stress strength model are investigated. The characterizations of the new model is investigated. The method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the model parameters of the new distribution and the observed information matrix is also obtained. A Monte Carlo simulation is presented to examine the behavior of the parameter estimates. The applicability of the new model is demonstrated by means of three applications.
Multiple Upper Outlier Detection Procedure in Generalized Exponential Sample
Authors: Singh Alok Kumar , Singh Abhinav , Patawa Rohit
Published: October 2021

Hawkins [6] defined an outlier as an observation that is significantly different from the remaining observations in a dataset so as to arouse suspicion that it was generated by different mechanism. Barnett and Lewis [2] defined an outlier as an observation that deviates significantly in the sample in which it occurs. Spatial outliers are different from outliers and many authors like Singh and Lalitha [9]. Outlier detection procedures for two parameter gamma distribution have been discussed by many authors. But one major disadvantage of the gamma distribution is that the distribution (or survival) function cannot be expressed in a closed form if the shape parameter is not an integer. Since it is in terms of an incomplete gamma function, one needs to obtain the distribution/survival function or the failure rate by numerical integration. This is a limitation in the usage of gamma distribution. It is observed that the generalized exponential distribution can be used as an alternative to the gamma distribution in many situations. Different properties like monotonicity of the hazard functions and tail behaviours of the gamma distribution and that of the generalized exponential distribution are quite similar in nature. But the latter one has a nice compact distribution (or survival) function. It is observed that for a given gamma distribution there exists a generalized exponential distribution so that the two distribution functions are almost identical. Since the gamma distribution function does not have a compact form, efficiently generating gamma random numbers is known to be problematic. It was observed that for all practical purposes it is possible to generate approximate gamma random numbers using generalized exponential distribution and the random samples thus obtained cannot be differentiated using any statistical tests. Many authors proposed a location and scale invariant test based on the test statistic Zk for testing the upper outliers in two-parameter exponential sample. Kumar et. al. [7] and Singh and Lalitha [10] have proposed test statistics for testing multiple upper outlier detection in gamma sample. Various test statistics have been proposed to detect outliers in an exponential sample. Likes [8] also proposed a new test statistics to detect outlier in the exponential case. In this paper, the test statistic proposed by Likes has been used to detect outliers in a generalized exponential sample and the critical value of the test statistics has been obtained. A simulation study is carried out to compare the theoretical developments.
A Data-Based Adjustment for Fisher Exact Test
Authors: Zhao Guolong , Yang Huiyu , Yang Junxia , Zhang Liufeng , Yang Xiaoang
Published: October 2021

Fisher exact test is one of most popularly used methods in modern data analyses. However, it is conservative because of discreteness. The mid-p method may reduce the conservativeness but it is defined by the factor 1/2, an extra term beyond data. This paper considers an adjustment defined by a data-based factor. The adjusted test is compared with other ten tests. Special attention is given to the comparison between the data-based factor and the factor 1/2. The standardized version of the adjusted test is asymptotically standard normal. The adjustment reduces the conservativeness, as evidenced by increasing test size and power and decreasing p-values. The adjusted test holds such properties as the significance level under control of nominal α, the same modification in the left- and right-sided p-values, and the proportional reduction from Fisher test, which the mid-p method lacks. The mid-p method is more powerful than the adjusted test but the increment of power comes from the factor 1/2 and is not controlled by α. The unconditional tests are also more powerful but the power comes partly from the unobserved samples. The proper choice of an adjustment is based largely upon a consideration of both the power of test and the origin of power so that the adjusted test is an option in data analyses. It is easy to implement for 2 × 2 and r × c contingency tables. Two real examples are given for analyzing 2 × 2 tables and another example for r × c tables.

Published: October 2021

Distribution of tickets to the destination unit is a very important function in the helpdesk application, but the process of distributing tickets manually by admin officers has drawbacks, namely ticket distribution errors can occur and increase ticket completion time if the number of tickets is large. Helpdesk text classification becomes important to automatically distribute tickets to the appropriate destination units in a short time. This study was conducted to compare the performance of helpdesk text classification at the Directorate General of State Assets of the Ministry of Finance using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) method with the TF-ABS and TF-IDF weighting methods. The research was conducted by collecting complaint documents, preprocessing, word weighting, feature reduction, classification, and testing. Classification using KNN with parameters n_neighbor (k) namely k=1, k=3, k=5, k=7, k=9, k=11, k=13, k=15, k=17, and k=19 to classify 10,537 helpdesk texts into 8 categories. The test uses a confusion matrix based on the accuracy value and score-f1. The test results show that the TF-ABS weighting method is better than TF-IDF with the highest accuracy value of 90.04% at 15% and k=3.

Published: October 2021

Samarinda sarong is one of the cultural treasures in the form of cloth from Samarinda, East Kalimantan. It has a characteristic in the form of a square motif with a unique color combination. However, several people do not know the difference between a Samarinda sarong and a non-Samarinda sarong because the Samarinda sarongs may have a similar motif or color to a non-Samarinda sarong. This study aims to develop a Samarinda sarong detection method to distinguish between the sarong of Samarinda and non-Samarinda. The detection of the Samarinda sarong was carried out based on two features: color and texture. The feature extraction of color was applied using color moments and Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) for texture. The classification was implemented using the Naive Bayes method. The dataset used consists of 250 sarong images (150 Samarinda sarong images and 100 Non-Samarinda sarong images) divided into training and test data. It was divided using percentage split and cross-validation. The test results show the implementation of the color moments, GLCM, and Naive Bayes methods using a percentage split (70%) produce the best accuracy of 0.987 compared to using cross-validation (K=10) with an accuracy of 0.984. The difference may occur because the number of training and testing data used on percentage split and cross-validation is different. Moreover, the sarong images used on training and test data were chosen randomly.

Objetivo: comprender el horizonte histórico de los sentimientos que se producen con respecto a la prestación del servicio militar, las resistencias antimilitaristas y las alternativas de masculinidad en un contexto de construcción de paz y postconflicto en Colombia. Metodología: el estudio se realizó en perspectiva construccionista, con orientación hermenéutica. Se generaron los datos mediante observación participante, entrevistas y grupos focales con 10 colectivos de jóvenes antimilitaristas en diferentes ciudades de Colombia. Algunos de los jóvenes dieron cuenta de sus experiencias prestando el servicio militar. Resultados: se describen los modos cómo los sentimientos y subjetividades de los jóvenes son moldeados en la socialización militar bajo el referente de la masculinidad hegemónica (MH). Así mismo, se presentan las prácticas cotidianas de resistencia y construcción de paz de estos jóvenes, posibles gracias a las transformaciones subjetivas y afectivas que se producen haciendo resistencia a la cultura patriarcal y militarista. Conclusiones: el antimilitarismo, de la mano de la no violencia, configuran relaciones humanas de respeto, amor, solidaridad, compasión, fraternidad y ternura (sentimientos que son reprimidos por el modelo de MH), con lo que se favorece el cambio de los valores militaristas hacia otros valores como la paz, la equidad y la libertad.

Objetivo: realizar una mirada general hacia las juventudes y la política en México, sus discursos, información y cifras, y todo en torno a las elecciones de 2018. Metodología: Se realiza una revisión de fuentes y documentos de diversa índole; desde informes de gobierno y de organismos civiles, hasta encuestas publicadas. También se hace una revisión de prensa pormenorizada, la cual muestra en general el panorama de la participación política juvenil del país y en el momento de las elecciones del 1° de julio de 2018 de manera particular. Para el tema de la cultura política y participación electoral en concreto en el año 2018, se revisa la información de una encuesta preelectoral y de cultura política realizada por un grupo de profesores de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, unidad Xochimilco (UAM/X) al sur de la Ciudad de México (CDMX) con la colaboración de un grupo de alumnos/as en el mes de junio del año 2018 en la CDMX. Resultado: se observa cierto distanciamiento entre juventudes y política formal según estudios para el país en los últimos tiempos, así como un discurso adulto que los responsabiliza de su actitud electoral. En 2018 su voto fue para Morena y las expresiones estudiadas presentan una juventud más participativa e interesada de lo que se pensaba. Conclusión: Los hallazgos de este trabajo muestran a una juventud con interés hacia la política, similar a otros grupos de edad, con conocimiento mayor, con una cultura política y opinión pública parecida a la ciudadanía en su conjunto.

Published: October 2021

Objetivo: analizar el efecto que tiene el conflicto armado colombiano dentro del crecimiento económico a través de variables que se identificaron en doce departamentos de Colombia divididos en dos grupos a partir del modelo centro – periferia. Metodología: se busca demostrar la relación entre el crecimiento económico y el flagelo del conflicto a través de variables macroeconómicas ─PIB (Producto Interno Bruto) y PIB per cápita (Producto Interno Bruto por persona) ─, económicas (natalidad, mercado laboral) y violencia (acciones bélicas, homicidios, secuestros). Se optó por correr una regresión lineal múltiple para entender la relación funcional entre las constantes dependientes (PIB) y las  independientes que contiene el modelo, donde se  pudo observar qué variables son las que realmente afectan el comportamiento del PIB dado que se mantendrán las mismas condiciones en el resto de las variables. Resultados: se explicó si hay o no relación entre el conflicto armado en Colombia y el crecimiento económico departamental, es decir, se explicaron cuáles son las variables  significativas y cuáles tienen los coeficientes y el valor p,( probabilidad del valor estadístico ), los cuales son arrojados por Stata automáticamente. 
Se pudo encontrar las variables del modelo, el número de observaciones (Obs), el promedio (Mean), la desviación estándar (Std. Dev.), el valor mínimo (Min) y el valor máximo (Max). Conclusiones: con el estudio se logró evidenciar la relación del conflicto armado con el crecimiento económico de aquellos departamentos que pertenecen a la periferia, estos son los que tienen mayor presencia del conflicto y evidencia de abandono estatal. Como era de esperarse, el resultado arrojado por el modelo fue significativo a pesar de que ciertas variables explicativas no tuvieron el signo esperado, por lo que se optó por no incluirlas en el análisis de políticas públicas y no concluir sobre ellas. Para aquellas que sí tuvieron el signo esperado, se hicieron los respectivos análisis con el objetivo de brindar soluciones que lleven a una reducción del conflicto armado en todas sus dimensiones y su afectación directa en el comportamiento del PIB departamental.
Thick crust, hydrous magmas, and the paradox of voluminous cold magmatism
Authors: Lee Cin-Ty , Liu Boda
Published: October 2021

Andesites are refined and “cold” magmas compared to their basaltic parents, yet large volumes of andesites are generated at continental arcs. We show that large andesitic plutons are favored when arc crust attains a thickness of ~60 km while mafic plutons are small and favored when arc crust is thin. Using simple thermal models, we show that large, long-lived and relatively cold partially molten zones, sustained by recharge of hydrous basaltic magmas, are favored at depth when arc crust is thick due to the reduced efficiency of heat loss with increasing crustal thickness. Thin crust and drier magmas favor hotter and thinner partially molten zones. Our study provides an explanation for the apparent paradox that the most voluminous magmas in continental arc settings are cold. The origin of andesites may be linked to the interplay between magmatic differentiation, the availability of water, and the processes that control crustal thickness.
George Jeffreys’s Translation of a Latin Epigram on Casimire and Hosschius’s Elegy on Sarbiewski

Published: October 2021

The “Poems of Doubtful Authorship” in modern editions of Samuel Johnson’s poetry include three Latin poems that were first associated with Johnson in 1856. This article reveals the weakness of this alleged “attribution” and discusses the arguments for and against Johnson’s authorship of each poem in turn. While certainty is impossible, it concludes that he possibly wrote the translation Ex cantico Solomonis but that Venus in Armour and The Logical Warehouse are unlikely to be his.

Plant species have been applied in the traditional treatment of certain diseases since ancient history. The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy of medicinal plants, specifically tinuktuk, in Simalungunese, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This effort shows the potentials of local knowledge in preparing herbal mixtures, based on geographical existence. The sample concoction was analyzed qualitatively for its health properties, using a pragmatic approach. Subsequent data were obtained from focus group discussions and field demonstrations to determine the plant types, processing mechanisms and efficacy. The results showed that the leaves, stems, fruits, seeds, tubers, and rhizomes of 18 herbal plant varieties were utilized, alongside the evaluation of 8 medicinal properties. Among the species, Zingiberaceae, Arecaceae, and Euphorbiaceae belonged to genera, while Areacaceae, Poaceae, Rutaceae, and Zingiberaceae families were predominantly applied. Therefore, the efficacy determination of tinuktuk concoction appears significant in terms of facilitating lactation during childbirth and subsequently eliminating the unclean blood, enhancing immunity, maintaining stamina and increasing the appetite. In summary, the sample is suitable as a herbal medicine and a product of local knowledge in the treating various ailments across generations.
Reporting Proficiency Levels for Examinees With Incomplete Data
Authors: Sinharay Sandip
Published: October 2021

Takers of educational tests often receive proficiency levels instead of or in addition to scaled scores. For example, proficiency levels are reported for the Advanced Placement (AP®) and U.S. Medical Licensing examinations. Technical difficulties and other unforeseen events occasionally lead to missing item scores and hence to incomplete data on these tests. The reporting of proficiency levels to the examinees with incomplete data requires estimation of the performance of the examinees on the missing part and essentially involves imputation of missing data. In this article, six approaches from the literature on missing data analysis are brought to bear on the problem of reporting of proficiency levels to the examinees with incomplete data. Data from several large-scale educational tests are used to compare the performances of the six approaches to the approach that is operationally used for reporting proficiency levels for these tests. A multiple imputation approach based on chained equations is shown to lead to the most accurate reporting of proficiency levels for data that were missing at random or completely at random, while the model-based approach of Holman and Glas performed the best for data that are missing not at random. Several recommendations are made on the reporting of proficiency levels to the examinees with incomplete data.

Predictability effects and parafoveal processing in older readers
Authors: Veldre Aaron , Wong Roslyn , Andrews Sally
Published: October 2021

Normative aging is accompanied by visual and cognitive changes that impact the systems that are critical for fluent reading. The patterns of eye movements during reading displayed by older adults have been characterized as demonstrating a trade-off between longer forward saccades and more word skipping versus higher rates of regressions back to previously read text. This pattern is assumed to reflect older readers’ reliance on top-down contextual information to compensate for reduced uptake of parafoveal information from yet-to-be fixated words. However, the empirical evidence for these assumptions is equivocal. This study investigated the depth of older readers’ parafoveal processing as indexed by sensitivity to the contextual plausibility of parafoveal words in both neutral and highly constraining sentence contexts. The eye movements of 65 cognitively intact older adults (61-87 years) were compared with data previously collected from young adults in two sentence reading experiments in which critical target words were replaced by valid, plausible, related, or implausible previews until the reader fixated on the target word location. Older and younger adults showed equivalent plausibility preview benefits on first-pass reading measures of both predictable and unpredictable words. However, older readers did not show the benefit of preview orthographic relatedness that was observed in young adults, and showed significantly attenuated preview validity effects. Taken together, the data suggest that older readers are specifically impaired in the integration of parafoveal and foveal information but do not show deficits in the depth of parafoveal processing. The implications for understanding the effects of aging on reading are discussed.

Published: October 2021

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between banking service quality dimensions and customer satisfaction in Nepalese banking industry. Three commercial banks operating in Kailali district (Rastriya Banijya Bank, Nabil Bank and Global IME bank) were taken as sample and 327 depositor customers of these banks were surveyed using structured five point Likert scale questionnaire. Data was collected via online and field survey by visiting the customers at related banks, business organizations and government and non government offices of  Kailali. SPSS version 20, Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analysis have been  used to analyze the data. The findings of this study revealed that there is positive relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction. All the service quality dimensions have statistically significant positive impact on customer satisfaction except tangibility. It means higher service quality helps increase customer satisfaction. The results of this study will help bank mangers to focus on their customer’s satisfaction in order to compete favorably in banking Industry. Future researchers can conduct their study focusing on mediating effect of customer satisfaction in service quality and customer loyalty. Effect of demographic variables on satisfaction is also unanswered in this study so, further study can be done including moderating effect of demographic variables.

The research was based on important basic principles that economic development, production development, and exploitation of available human and natural resources have a positive and effective impact on the development of the industrial reality in countries, and therefore this will reflect on the increase in the growth rates of national income and the increase in the economic well-being of society, that the optimal use of some economic resources would developing the industrial reality significantly, as manufacturing, taking care of it, and using it in the correct technical ways is one of the most important means that help in reviving the economy. Especially if the planning policy in the exploitation of human and natural resources is going in the right direction. Human resources are eliminated by unemployment, lack of job opportunities, or disguised unemployment, which is an economic waste in every sense of the word, and it is like the water of a river that does not benefit from it, as if human resources are efficient, they will have to migrate abroad to find job opportunities, or they may satisfied with any work that provides her with a living, even if this work is harmful to moral values, or to effective economic activity, not to mention the useless waste of youth energies, and accordingly there must be quick treatments in the use of human resources in a scientific and thoughtful manner, which is not an abundance of labor Which may lead to inflation without scientific production, but through the exploitation of specialists and competencies and the development of advanced industrial cadres who have the technical expertise capable of developing national production outside the scope of favoritism, while the optimal operation of human resources will lead to the fight against poverty and unemployment, and that the policy of industrialization in its procedures depends on the state’s effort, which is the basis for any economic development. Achieving development is a religious goal for man as God’s successor on earth, and the goal of Islamic economic policy is to achieve human dignity and the interests of society. Excessiveness or neglect between them, just as the Islamic conception of economic activity is a wise concept that combines the moral system with financial growth. As for the natural resources that can be used, whether they are minerals that are in the ground or on its surface, or from agricultural resources of all kinds or animal wealth it must be used in a fixed scientific planned way. It does not mean investing in natural materials wasting them, or using them randomly. Rather, they should be exploited well without extravagance or waste.

The research aims to achieve social, environmental, and economic well-being as a matter of social responsibility for all, which enhances its sustainable performance for economic units to carry out their duty towards society and issues of protecting society and the environment. The research problem was represented in the lack of interest in social responsibility and sustainable social and environmental performance from some economic units in light of the developments taking place in various aspects of life, which urgently needed the role of these units to enhance sustainable performance and achieve well-being. To achieve the goal of the research, it was relied on relevant studies and research and building a proposed framework as well as the contributions made by these units through their social and environmental responsibility and to clarify their important, vital, and future dimensions and that sustainable development in its social, environmental and economic aspects is the general framework under which social responsibility falls. The research concluded that economic units provide services to enhance their social responsibility; which is the basis for sustainable development and the application of performance evaluation criteria for the social and environmental sustainability of the unit. Therefore, social responsibility, especially for economic units, is a competitive strategic necessity for them, which leads to an increase in their profits to achieve success for the economic unit and the social, environmental, and economic well-being of society. The most important thing recommended by the research is to urge and encourage the economic unit to realize the importance of social responsibility and the performance of its duty and standards that apply social and environmental sustainability and the establishment of a culture of social responsibility in societies to become a practical behavior, culture, and approach for all.

Using intellectual property as collateral for loans is widely accepted around the world, but this is new in Vietnam despite the allowance of contemporary legal regulations. This is an opportunity for individuals and enterprises in Vietnam. However, in practice, accessing loans by mortgaging intellectual property at banks in Vietnam is challenging. The difficulties may come from the lack of detailed regulations, the challenge of valuating “intangible” intellectual property, or potential conflict resolutions. This paper examines the issue from a legal perspective and shows difficulties when mortgaging intellectual property in Vietnam.
