Equity Liquidity and Firm Investment: Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Rashid Abdul , Karim Maria
Published: April 2019

This paper examines how equity liquidity affects firms’ investment decisions. We use an unbalanced panel data for a sample of 360 non-financial firms of Pakistan for the period 2001-2016. We apply the Hausman specification test to identify whether fixed or random effects model is appropriate. Using two alternative measures of equity liquidity, we find that equity liquidity has a significant positive impact on firms’ investment decisions. We also show that several firm-specific factors are significant in determining firms’ investment policy. The findings of the paper have significant implications for both policymakers and firm managers. Our results support the liquidity premium hypothesis.

Authors: Ghafoor Sumaira , Saba Irum , Kouser Rehana
Published: April 2019

Pakistan need to enhance the liquidity management framework for its growing Islamic finance industry. Sukuk is a best Shariah-compliant debt instrument for short term liquidity needs since Sukuk is highly tradable instrument with low level of market risk. In view of that, there is an increasing trend in the global issuances of corporate and sovereign Sukuk. Therefore, this case study aims to explore the issuance of Sukuk in Malaysia as an example. Malaysia is dominating the Sukuk Market and has been issuing Sukuk since 1990. The underlying structure of the proposed Sukuk model for Pakistan is Istisna that is an Islamic project bond. Pakistan has the potential to replicate the Sukuk model of Malaysia. However, it is required to have an active secondary trading market in order to develop an effective and dynamic Sukuk market.

Measuring the Sustainable Benefits of Modular and Offsite Construction Delivery Techniques Against Conventional On-Site Construction
Authors: Benson Mike , Rankin Jeff
Published: April 2019

It is well known that the use of modular and offsite construction (MOC) techniques for project delivery can yield significant economic, environmental, and social benefits throughout a projectäó»s lifetime. Despite these benefits highlighted by the MOC community, there exists a need to objectively measure the sustainable benefits and to integrate them in a comprehensive framework to compare delivery alternatives. The Sustainable Efficiency (SE) model is presented and used to compare the construction of a 2-storey hotel using two delivery methods: i) a conventional onsite construction (COC); and ii) modular and offsite construction (MOC). Sustainable criteria identified in the model originate from ISOäó»s 21929-2 äóìFramework for sustainability indicator for civil engineering worksäó�. These criteria are used to encompass the entire life-cycle of the project, from production and extraction of materials, through construction, operations and maintenance, to the end-of-life or decommissioning stage. MOC presents a significant amount of benefits throughout the entire life-cycle of the project and the SE model presented highlights and takes these benefits into account. Recognizing these benefits can help build the business case for MOC, going past the prescriptive, lowest initial cost, and onsite construction delivery that is widely used in the Canadian construction industry today. Allowing for both the quantitative and qualitative benefits to be included in an objective and metric-based model can address the challenge of making changes to conventional procurement methods, and will strengthen and promote the use of MOC in the construction industry. It was found that, through the use of MOC, the hotel obtained a positive 16.8% sustainable efficiency score over a conventional stick build method. Significant benefits were a result of reduced greenhouse gas emissions, non-renewable energy use, waste production, and worker health and safety. The single disadvantage determined was the social criteria äóìJob Creationäó� where there was a reduced quantity of worker hours required to complete the project.
Detailed Analysis of Texasäó»s Manufactured Housing Growth and Competition
Authors: Said Hisham , Bartusiak Jonathan
Published: April 2019

Manufactured homes provide a cost-effective alternative for satisfying the growing housing needs. Despite the industry commitment for improvement, manufactured home constitute small share of satisfying the housing demand. Supporting the future growth of this industry through public policy advocacy cannot be achieved without evaluating its historical production and demand trends. Available data from professional and governmental sources lack the ability to provide a granular picture of the characteristics of the industryäó»s manufacturers, customers, and product. Accordingly, this paper attempts to fill this gap by analyzing the available license record data for the manufactured homes in the state of Texas that cover the years from 1982 to 2015. The raw data included around 913,663 records of homes ownership and manufacturing. The data analysis included three main tasks: 1) data processing to integrate this large amount of data and eliminate outliers; 2) analyzing the competition characteristics of Texasäó»s manufactured housing market using descriptive entry and exit metrics; and 3) analyzing demand characteristics of manufactured homes in terms of their physical requirements the relations between their demand volume and inventory times. The conclusions of this paper would provide a more detailed understanding of the manufactured housing industry to support its growth as a viable cost-effective housing option.
System Dynamics Model Application for Ergonomic Assessment of Manual Material Handling Tasks
Authors: Abaeian Hossein , Moselhi Osama , Al-Hussein Mohamad
Published: April 2019

Despite increased levels of automation in manufacturing occupations in recent years, many activities are still performed through human intervention and involve Manual Material Handling (MMH), thus exposing workers to stress due to over-exertion and potential Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs). An early ergonomic and physical demand assessment of work activities is critical to reducing exposure to risk and to maintaining desired levels of productivity. Biomechanics consists of applying concepts of static and dynamic equilibrium to different parts of the human musculoskeletal system using free-body diagrams to estimate muscle force and loads generated across the joints and tissues. System dynamics is a powerful tool applied in resolving complex problems with different influencing variables. This technique can help designers and managers to understand, evaluate and simulate the factors causing problems in the system. This paper presents the application of System Dynamics modeling to assess the biomechanical risks associated with manual material handling tasks. The case study presents predicted cumulative biomechanical compressive loads from material handling task and can assist project managers to understand and reduce exposure to ergonomic risks in the workplace.

Authors: Rausch Christopher , Zhang Lichen , West Jeffrey , Haas Carl HAAS
Published: April 2019

This paper presents a case study which analyzes critical sources of dimensional variability in a modular steel framed construction project. If not managed properly, dimensional variability can lead to conflicts during alignment and interfacing of components and modules. The management of dimensional variability can be expressed in distinct categories based on its impact on structural safety, constructability, aesthetics and functionality. This case study explores the use of a laser scanner and a total station in order to quantify critical sources of dimensional variability. The results of the case study show that during different project stages (i.e., fabrication, assembly, transportation, handling and erection) that often one of the distinct impact
categories governs in terms of the management of dimensional variability. As such, this paper demonstrates how critical sources of dimensional variability can be identified so that they can be properly managed.
Modular Industry Characteristics and Barriers to its Increased Market Share
Authors: Salama Tarek , Moselhi Osama , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: April 2019

Modular and offsite construction reduces project duration and cost by synchronizing offsite and onsite work. Project activities are constructed in a controlled offsite facility to minimize effects of inclement weather and site disruptions, while meeting safety and quality requirements. In recent years, many organizations have conducted questionnaires to study characteristics of modular and offsite construction, such as the Modular Building Institute (MBI), Buildoffsite campaigning organisation in the UK, Canadian Manufactured Housing Institute (CMHI), National Institute of Building Sciences, McGraw-Hill Construction, and Fails Management Institute (FMI). This paper introduces a summary of results for a new questionnaire carried out in collaboration between the Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering (BCEE) at Concordia University, MBI, Niagara Relocatable Buildings, Inc. (NRB) in Canada, and the Nasseri School of Building Science and Engineering at the University of Alberta. This questionnaire focuses on two issues: (1) the characteristics of the modular and offsite construction industry, and (2) detected barriers to the increased market share of this industry. For the latter, effort was made to address five factors emanated from a workshop on äóěChallenges and opportunities for modular construction in Canadaäóť held in Montreal in October 2015 to analyze barriers to growth of modular construction in Canada. Key findings of this questionnaire include requests for use of a separate code of modular construction design, innovative financing and insurance solutions, standards that consider procurement regulations, and lending institutions that partner with financial houses to create special lending programs for modular construction.
Mass Customisable Roofing Solutions for the New Build and Retrofit Markets in the UK
Authors: Plowas Wojciech , Hairstans Robert , Fellingham Jonathan
Published: April 2019

Major house builders and contractors in the UK are seeking alternative solutions to form the structural frame of pitched roofs for various reasons; speed, health and safety, quality ease of use. They are exploring the use of offsite systems, which arguably provide all of the above benefits. However, these systems are typically considerably more expensive, often difficult to scale-up and limited in their design scope compared to traditional roof truss solutions. The strategic aim of the research reported on in this paper was therefore to develop a mass customisable roofing solution to allow the UKäó»s largest roof truss manufacturer to enter into the off-site construction sector without reinventing their business architecture. The research considered both the new build and retrofit market. The first roof solution for the new build market is a äóÖsliding roofäó», a roof truss installation method which includes a pre-prepared system created under factory conditions. The system is delivered to the construction site where it is lifted onto one end of the structure. After the system is in placed it is opened the length of the roof. The second system investigated, to be used for the retrofit market, is a self-supporting and thermally insulated roof panel, designed and developed for a multitude of pitched roofs. Working with the industry partner the suitability of the roof systems as effective off-site solutions has been trialled. The full process was monitored from a design, manufacture and construction perspective with a critical appraisal undertaken for evaluation purposes. These finding are reported.
Planning of modular construction manufacturing plant layouts using non-linear optimization
Authors: Ritter Chelsea , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: April 2019

The layout of a manufacturing facility has a significant impact on its productivity and effectiveness, as evidenced by the large amount of research surrounding the facility layout problem and optimization of the solution. In the continually evolving modular construction industry, the solution to this problem will change as often as any smaller adjustment is made to the production line. Because of this continual evolution, it is not possible to continuously change the layout, as this would quickly become prohibitive because of the cost and the need to stop production. This paper presents an optimization of the number of stations per department using the generalized reduced gradient (GRG) optimization algorithm to balance the production line. The benefit of using this algorithm is that it presents the near optimal number of stations in each department and allows for quick modifications to achieve the feasible number of stations in the ever-changing environment.
Testing and numerical analysis on cold-formed steel shear walls using corrugated steel sheathing
Authors: Zhang Wenying , Li Yuanqi , Yu Cheng
Published: April 2019

Cold-formed steel framed shear wall sheathed with corrugated steel sheets is a promising shear wall system for low- and mid-rise constructions at high wind and seismic zones due to its advantages of non-combustibility, high shear strength, and high shear stiffness. Monotonic and cyclic tests on full-scale wall assemblies using corrugated steel sheathing was conducted. To investigate the effect of vertical/gravity loading, shear wall specimens were tested under two different loading conditions: lateral loading, and a combined lateral and vertical/gravity loading. The test results are presented and discussed in this paper. Besides, finite element model of the proposed shear wall was created in Abaqus software. The validity of the numerical model was verified based on the test results. A series of parametric analysis were conducted, including the thickness of framing members, the cross section of stud members, yield strength of the frame members, stud spacing, and the influence of gravity loads. The detailed modeling information, relevant parametric analysis and recommendations for practical application of this type of shear resisting system are also presented.
Pull-out tests of a new hooked steel-GFRP composite connector in precast concrete sandwich panels
Authors: Guan Dongzhi , Guo Zhengxing , Jiang Huanzhi , Ju Dan
Published: April 2019

A new hooked steel-GFRP composite connector was proposed for precast concrete sandwich panels. The new connector consisted of a steel core and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) as outer covering layers processed by injection molding machines. It was intended to connect the inner and outside layers of precast concrete sandwich panels with high structural performance, low thermal conductivity and ease of installation. To investigate the anchoring capacity of the new connector in concrete, pull-out tests were carried out on total 9 test specimens. Experimental results were analysed including pull-out strength, failure pattern, load-slip curve and load-strain curve etc. Results show that all the test specimens fail with the pattern of pulling out of concrete cone. Slippages between the connectors and concrete remain negative when the specimens were damaged. Hook of the connector linking the intersection of reinforcing bars improve the pull-out capacity significantly. The pulling-out capacity of the new connectors increase with the increment of concrete strength grade; and the average pulling-out capacity of the connectors become more than 5 times pulling-out load required by the Chinese code.
Exploring the Benefits of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) and the Mechanism for Automated 5D BIM Quantification Process in Offsite Modular Construction
Authors: Moses Tochukwu , Heesom David , Oloke David , Crouch Martin
Published: April 2019

The UK Construction Industry through its Government Construction Strategy has recently been mandated to implement Level 2 Building Information Modelling (BIM) on public sector projects. This move, along with other initiatives is key to driving a requirement for 25% cost reduction (establishing the most cost-effective means) on. Other key deliverables within the strategy include reduction in overall project time, early contractor involvement, improved sustainability and enhanced product quality. Collaboration and integrated project delivery is central to the level 2 implementation strategy yet the key protocols or standards relative to cost within BIM processes is not well defined. As offsite construction becomes more prolific within the UK construction sector, this construction approach coupled with BIM, particularly 5D automated quantification process, and early contractor involvement provides significant opportunities for the sector to meet government targets. Early contractor involvement is supported by both the industry and the successive Governments as a credible means to avoid and manage project risks, encourage innovation and value add, making cost and project time predictable, and improving outcomes. The contractor is seen as an expert in construction and could be counter intuitive to exclude such valuable expertise from the pre-construction phase especially with the BIM intent of äóÖbuild it twiceäó», once virtually and once physically. In particular when offsite construction is used, the contractoräó»s construction expertise should be leveraged for the virtual build in BIM-designed projects to ensure a fully streamlined process. Building in a layer of automated costing through 5D BIM will bring about a more robust method of quantification and can help to deliver the 25% reduction in overall cost of a project.
Using a literature review and a case study, this paper will look into the benefits of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) and the impact of 5D BIM on the offsite construction process.
Behaviour of ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete beam-column joint under cyclic loading
Authors: Moy Charles K.S. , Xia Jun , Chin Chee , Liu Jianzhong
Published: April 2019

Ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has very high compressive strength up to 200 MPa and exhibits strain hardening effects under flexural loading. The bond strength between UHPFRC and steel reinforcement is much better than the normal strength concrete. Therefore, there is a potential to use UHPFRC material at the beam-column joint region to reduce the congestion of reinforcement as well as to improve the seismic resistance of the structure. In this pilot study, the beam column joints made of normal strength concrete and UHPFRC were tested under lateral cyclic loading up to failure using a 500 tonne capacity computer control servo hydraulic machine. The specimen with normal strength concrete failed at the joint region while the specimen with UHPFRC material failed due to yielding of the rebars in the beam sections near the column face and no obvious cracks were observed at the joint area. The specimens with UHPFRC as joint material exhibited higher initial lateral stiffness and achieved slightly higher ultimate load capacity than the specimen with normal strength concrete.

Published: April 2019

Over the past few years, the interest towards off-site construction as part of project delivery for residential and commercial buildings has increased dramatically. In this regard, buildings are decomposed into panels that are manufactured using assembly lines smilar to what was developped to the automotive industry. However, because these serial production systems do not have buffers that could store intermediate products when a bottleneck occurs downstream, it often happens that these products are required to wait at the current workstation before production can resume. In this contribution, we develop algorithms allowing the waiting times to be extracted from timestamps that are collected from an RFID system reading the tags on panels as they enter each workstation.

Authors: Wu Chengke , Jiang Rui , Li Xiao
Published: April 2019

Construction Sector has long been criticized for its lower productivity compared with other industries. To address the problem, recent years, new construction methods and information techniques such as modular construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM) are developed and implemented. Besides, computer simulations, like Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS), are also incorporated in construction sector. Despite contributions of the 3 techniques to the industry have been investigated respectively by many researches, more benefits could be brought if they are applied simultaneously. However, there is no comprehensive research yet to combine all of them in a single project. To bridge the research gap, this paper first briefly introduces strengths and current applications of the 3 techniques; then a framework integrating them together containing simulation module, BIM
database module and decision making module is constructed; finally, a case study of a multistoried canteen project is demonstrated to further explain functions of the framework.

Lost in Translation - - the challenges with the use of animal models in translational research
Authors: Seyhan Attila A
Published: April 2019

Many preclinical research fails to replicate in human clinical trials; thus, the scale ofpoor translatability of preclinical research to human studies is widely recognized both inacademia and industry. Potential reasons for this “Lost in Translation” problem couldrange from the complexity of modern biomedical research to the limitations of tools, themethodological differences, to poor experimental designs, inappropriate data analysisand misuse of statistics, and most importantly the reproducibility problems of animalresults in humans. Poorly described protocols of research and low quality datapresented, and inappropriate use of statistics all further magnify the problem.Nonetheless, there are two major reasons for this: First, “Lost in Translation” problem,the “Butterfly Effect” (chaotic behavior of many preclinical animal models) and second,the “Two Cultures” problem (differences between the methodologies for preclinical andclinical research). Here we will focus on the animal models.While the use of animals for scientific research is a traditional practice in biomedicalresearch, it is also a matter of debate due to the animal welfare and ethical concerns ofusing animals for research. The apparent anatomical and physiological similaritiesamongst humans and animals, especially mammals, have made them ideal modelsystems to assess the efficacy and safety of novel therapies and mechanisms beforetesting them in humans. However, despite the interspecies similarities, many resultsresulting from animals do not directly translate to humans.The purpose of this article is to conduct a thorough literature review to evaluate thenature of some of the problems resulting in poor translation of animal research tohumans and to recommend some strategies to overcome this problem.

The repeated narration of specific events and identity stability in mid-life
Authors: McLean Kate C. , Haraldsson Kristin Gudbjorg , Kober Christin
Published: April 2019

In this case-study based qualitative analysis, we sought to examine the question of stability in narrative identity. We did this by examining four mid-life adults, who each provided two life story interviews, four years apart as a part of a larger study. Two of these participants were deemed ‘low repeaters,’ for having little repetition of manifest narrative content (i.e., actual events repeated at the two interviews). Two were deemed ‘high repeaters’ for having a much greater number of repeated manifest content. Our analysis focused on similarities between the low repeaters and the high repeaters, as well as the differences between them, with the aim of theory-building in the domain of narrative identity stability. Broadly, our analyses revealed that low repetition can occur for a variety of reasons including methodological factors, the occurrence of new life events between interviews, and traumatic history. High repetition can also occur for multiple reasons including performative concerns and conformity to cultural norms regarding life scripts. We offer these analyses as fodder for building theory regarding the phenomenology of identity stability, and its meaning for psychological functioning.

Dynamic Routing atau Routing Dynamic (dinamik) adalah sebuah router yang memiliki dan membuat tabel routing secara otomatis. Dengan menggunakan lalu lintas jaringan dan juga saling berhubungan antara router lainnya . Protokol Routing mengatur router-router sehingga dapat berkomunikasi satu dengan lain dan saling memberikan informasi antara satu router dengan router lainnya dan juga saling memberikan informasi routing yang dapat mengubah isi forwarding table, Tergantung keadaan jaringannya . Dengan cara ini , router router mengetahui keadaan jaringan yang terakhir dan mampu meneruskan data kearah yang benar. Dengan kata lain ,routing dinamik adalah proses pengisian data routing di table routing secara otomatis.Konsep dasar dari routing adalah bahwa router meneruskan IP paket berdasarkan pada IP address tujuan yang ada dalam header IP paket. Dia mencocokkan IP address tujuan dengan routing table dengan harapan menemukan kecocokan entri–suatu entri yang menyatakan kepada router kemana paket selanjutnya harus diteruskan. Jika tidak ada kecocokan entri yang ada dalam routing table, dan tidak ada default route, maka router tersebut akan membuang paket tersebut. Untuk itu adalah sangat penting untuk mempunyai isian routing table yang tepat dan benar.Sedangkan Routing Dinamik adalah jenis routing yang bisa berubah sesuai dengan kondisi yang diinginkan dengan parameter tertentu sesuai dengan protokolnya. Routing Dinamik diterapkan pada PC yang berfungsi sebagai router dan dibutuhkan router lain yang sama-sama menerapkan sistem routing dinamik, jadi tidak bisa berdiri sendiri seperti halnya Router static.Dan Routing Dinamik menentukan gateway untuk network destination berdasarkan parameter yang didapat dari router lainnya melalui Protokol Multicast, seperti metrik, cost dsb.

Journalists as media actors must be able to objectively see the political situation by referring to the prevailing news values and ethical code. It is not known that journalists themselves also played behind government political chess. So in this case journalists also become part of the implementation of the acquisition of power by certain parties because of welfare factors that are not obtained by the press workers' groups and seek shortcuts. Through Kedai Kopi Perjoeangan Public Room, it is a place for press workers in Jakarta to form a political movement in demanding the welfare of workers for the mass media industry. But the movement is seen as a movement of the proletariat but on the one hand itself is identical with the struggle of the press workers' group in demanding the right of professionalism as a journalist.

A database of news videos for investigating the dynamics of emotion and memory
Authors: Samide Rosalie , Cooper Rose Alison , Ritchey Maureen
Published: April 2019

Emotional experiences are known to be both perceived and remembered differently from non-emotional experiences, often leading to heightened encoding of salient visual details and subjectively vivid recollection. The vast majority of previous studies have used static images to investigate how emotional event content modulates cognition, yet natural events unfold over time. Therefore, little is known about how emotion dynamically modulates continuous experience. Here, we report a norming study wherein we develop a new stimulus set of 126 emotionally negative, positive, and neutral videos depicting real-life news events. Participants continuously rated the valence of each video during its presentation and judged the overall emotional intensity and valence at the end of each video. In a subsequent memory test, participants reported how vividly they could recall the video details and estimated each video’s duration. We report data on the affective qualities and subjective memorability of each video. The results replicate the well established effect that emotional experiences are more vividly remembered than non-emotional experiences. Importantly, this novel stimulus set will facilitate research into the temporal dynamics of emotional processing and memory.
Inaccurate group meta-perceptions drive negative out-group attributions in competitive contexts
Authors: Lees Jeffrey Martin , Cikara Mina
Published: April 2019

Across seven experiments and one survey (N=4282) people consistently overestimated out-group negativity towards the collective behavior of their in-group. This negativity bias in group meta-perception was present across multiple competitive (but not cooperative) intergroup contexts, and appears to be yoked to group psychology more generally; we observed negativity bias for estimation of out-group, anonymized-group, and even fellow in-group members’ perceptions. Importantly, in the context of American politics greater inaccuracy was associated with increased belief that the out-group is motivated by purposeful obstructionism. However, an intervention that informed participants of the inaccuracy of their beliefs reduced negative out-group attributions, and was more effective for those whose group meta-perceptions were more inaccurate. In sum, we highlight a pernicious bias in social judgments of how we believe ‘they’ see ‘our’ behavior, demonstrate how such inaccurate beliefs can exacerbate intergroup conflict, and provide an avenue for reducing the negative effects of inaccuracy.
Machine Learning for Clinical Psychology and Clinical Neuroscience

Published: April 2019

A rapid growth in computational power and an increasing availability of large, publicly- accessible, multimodal datasets present new opportunities for psychology and neuroscience researchers to ask novel questions, and to approach old questions in novel ways. Studies of the personal characteristics, situation-specific factors, and sociocultural contexts that result in the onset, development, maintenance, and remission of psychopathology, are particularly well-suited to benefit from machine learning methods. However, introductory textbooks for machine learning rarely tailor their guidance to the needs of psychology and neuroscience researchers. Similarly, the traditional statistical training of clinical scientists often does not incorporate these approaches. This chapter acts as an introduction to machine learning for researchers in the fields of clinical psychology and clinical neuroscience. We discuss these methods, illustrated through real and hypothetical applications in the fields of clinical psychology and clinical neuroscience. We touch on study design, selecting appropriate techniques, how (and how not) to interpret results, and more, to aid researchers who are interested in applying machine learning methods to clinical science data.
Minimal but Meaningful: Probing the Limits of Randomly Assigned Social Identities
Authors: Yang Xin , Dunham Yarrow
Published: April 2019

The present studies (total n = 151) experimentally manipulated meaningfulness in novel social groups and measured any resulting ingroup biases. Study 1 showed that even when groups were arbitrary and presumptively meaningless, 5- to 8-year-olds developed equally strong ingroup biases as did children in more meaningful groups. Study 2 explored the lengths required to effectively reduce ingroup biases by stressing the arbitrariness of the grouping dimension. Even in this case ingroup bias persisted in resource allocation behavior, though it was attenuated on preference and similarity measures. These results suggested that one has to go to great lengths to counteract children’s tendency to imbue newly encountered social groups with rich affiliative meaning.
Aid, Exclusion, and the Local Dynamics of Insurgency in Afghanistan
Authors: Karell Daniel , Schutte Sebastian
Published: April 2019

Can developmental aid bring peace to war-torn communities? The current literature is divided on this issue. One line of reasoning suggests that aid is likely to decrease violence by improving employment and prosperity, thereby making participation in conflict more costly. Another view cites evidence showing an association between aid projects and increased insurgent activity. Addressing this contradiction, we argue that different types of aid projects lead to different outcomes, as some projects foster an unequal distribution of benefits within communities. Our reasoning draws on qualitative accounts from conflict zones, recent research on how grievances associated with exclusion can foster civil war onset, and experimental findings regarding perceived inequity and punishment. Building on this scholarship, we use a recently developed event-matching methodology to offer insight from contemporary Afghani- stan. Aid projects that tend to exclude portions of the community yield more insurgent activity in their wake than more inclusive projects. These results shed light on why some aid projects reduce violence while others do not, emphasizing that efforts to ‘win hearts and minds’ can be a source of both contentment and contestation.

Palynostratigraphy and palaeoclimatic interpretation of the Plio- Pleistocene Lukundol Formation from the Kathmandu valley, Nepal
Authors: Bhandari S. , Paudayal K. N.
Published: April 2019

The Lukundol Formation, a fluvio-lacustrine deposit, constituting the lowermost part of the sedimentary sequence in the Kathmandu valley, is made up of conglomerates in its basal part; thick beds of carbonaceous clay, lignite, silt and sand in the middle part; interbedded clay and gravel in the upper part; and very thick beds of gravel in the uppermost part. Its exposure in the Khahare Khola, near the Lukundol village, is about 205 m thick. The palynostratigraphy of the Lukundol Formation revealed the dominance of gymnosperms over the angiosperms and herbaceous members. In the pollen diagram, Pinus and Quercus are the predominant taxa whereas Castanopsis and Oleaceae are the next dominant ones. Three fossil pollen zones were differentiated in the Lukundol Formation. Zone I indicates a subtropical climate, zone II belongs to a warm temperate climate, and zone III represents a subtropical to warm-temperate climate.
Structure and petrology of the Dadeldhura Group, far western Nepal, Himalaya

The granites, phyllites, schists, and gneisses of the Dadeldhura Group exhibit a significant Himalayan metamorphic imprint. The rocks of the group constitute a synform and the group is delimited by thrusts. The North Dadeldhura Thrust (NDT) zone is dominated by granitic mylonite with subordinate quartzite, quartz-chlorite schist, and amphibolite. In the quartz-chlorite schist from the NDT zone, relict kyanite is observed, which together with recrystallisation textures in the granitic mylonite indicate that low-temperature syn-tectonic retrogression has affected the thrust zone. Prograde garnets with spiral structures from a zone 2–4 km structurally above the base of the NDT are associated with mylonite-like rocks, and indicate distinct prograde shear zones in this area. This suggested that prograde thrust stacking has affected about 4 km wide north belt of the Dadeldhura Group. Rim thermobarometry from the garnet holding rocks shows that the minerals were re-equilibrated at 440–550 °C and 6.5–9.5 kbar. In the southern part of the Dadeldhura Group, textures in quartz and feldspar from the Saukhark Granite-Gneiss indicate that temperatures during recrystallisation were around 450–550 °C. These P–T estimates suggest that most of the now exposed rocks in the Dadeldhura Group experienced prograde epidoteamphibolite facies metamorphism during early orogenic build up and thrusting of the Dadeldhura Nappe. A subsequent syntectonic retrograde phase is observed in the NDT zone as low temperature recrystallisation of quartz and feldspar in mylonitic rocks, and chlorite and quartz in chlorite-grade rocks holding relict kyanite. Retrograde trusting was also focused along a distinct “back thrusting” zone within the northern part of the group.
