Published: November 2019

Gender mainstreaming is important in the national development process, especially those related to aspects of leadership in order to realize gender equality in development. The purpose of this study is to analyze Gender Mainstreaming in a Leadership perspective at the Regional Government Agencies level. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Activities in data analysis in this study were carried out based on data reduction, data display, and conclusion stages. The results showed that the fairness aspect showed that there was no special treatment between men and women in the placement of structural positions / positions in the Regional Government Agencies of Makassar City. From the aspect of justice shows that if there is a deviation carried out by the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) it will be subject to sanctions based on the mechanism applied and from the Equity aspect showing the freedom of opinion and giving aspirations not limited by sex but all opinions can be delivered openly while having good contribution to work. In typical focused leadership there were no problems related to gender and gender privileges to occupy leadership positions, this was due to consideration of the capacity of individuals to become leaders as well as typical communicative leaders supporting gender mainstreaming from an equity aspect showing men and women getting equal opportunities to channel opinions or aspirations to the leadership. but the most prominent typical of some typical leadership is that communication leadership is highlighted by women, this can be seen from the coordination carried out with other employees. While men emphasize typical trust lesdership and respectful leadership.

This article aims to explain the influence of the work environment with job satisfaction. Employees and employees will feel satisfied, if what they do get appreciation or reward. These benefits must be in accordance with the workload, position and needs. These rewards can be in the form of intrinsic rewards, such as achievement achievements and extrinsic rewards in the form of salaries, bonuses, promotion status. In addition, the environment greatly affects work satisfaction. The environment is everything that is around employees or employees who can influence themselves in doing work. If the environment is good, comfortable, employees and employees will feel at home and comfortable. Conversely, if neither employees nor employees will tend to quit because they feel uncomfortable. Colleagues and superiors also affect job satisfaction, meaning that the attitudes of coworkers and superiors affect both employees and employees. Efforts to overcome dissatisfaction at work that is by making the environment feel comfortable and not boring and coworkers and superiors always provide motivation to improve work performance.

Published: November 2019

Characteristic of earthquake in a region can be studied through its physical characteristics, such as magnitude and earthquakes energy. Energy which is produced by earthquake can be predicted from magnitude. So far, a lot of research produces different equation to predict of earthquake energy that is depending on zone of earthquake occurred. The purpose of descriptive fundamental research was to find equation for ground acceleration which is presented by local magnitude earthquake for West Sumatra region. Data sounder for research were collected from BMG Padang Panjang which was recorded from 1982 to 2008. Data are analyzed by using least square inversion method. Equation ground acceleration is log αac = 0.451Io +0.146 ML + 0.744 log ∆ - 2.644, which local magnitude is ML = 0.413I0 – 0.785 Log H + 5.334 and intensity of the earthquake in the epicenter is Io = I + 3 log (Δ/H) + 0.01 (ΔH).
A two-component framework captures cross-cultural similarities and differences in essentialist thinking about social categories

Published: November 2019

Social essentialism is the intuitive assumption that members of social categories share underlying properties that determine category membership and cause observable regularities. We investigate cultural differences in social essentialism in the USA, Northern Ireland, and China. In Study 1, 106 undergraduates from the US and Northern Ireland rated 44 social categories on 9 scales representing distinct aspects of social essentialism. In Study 2, 157 undergraduates from the US and China rated 31 social categories on 6 scales. Results showed that a single two-component framework—describing variability in social categories with respect to perceived naturalness (objectivity, immutability) and cohesiveness (homogeneity, informativeness)—explained representations of social categories in all three cultures. Differences emerged as well; on average, American participants rated social categories as more natural and less cohesive than Northern Irish or Chinese participants. Moreover, specific social dimensions were seen as more natural in cultures where those dimensions had particular cultural salience (religion in Northern Ireland, home region in China). Together, these findings demonstrate cross-cultural similarities (a common two- component framework for representing social kinds, a common way to essentialize historically salient social dimensions) and differences (in the general extent to which social categories were perceived to be natural and cohesive) across disparate cultural groups.
Taking a disagreeing perspective improves the accuracy of people’s quantitative estimates
Authors: van de Calseyde Philippe , Efendic Emir
Published: November 2019

Many decisions rest upon people’s ability to make estimates of unknown quantities. In these judgments, the aggregate estimate of a crowd of individuals is often more accurate than most individual estimates. Remarkably, similar principles apply when aggregating multiple estimates from the same person and a key challenge is to identify strategies that improve the accuracy of people’s aggregate estimates. Here, we present the following strategy: combine people’s first estimate with their second estimate made from the perspective of someone they often disagree with. In five pre-registered experiments (N = 6425, with 53,086 estimates) with populations from the US and UK, we find that such a strategy produces accurate estimates (as compared to when people make a second guess, or when second estimates are made from the perspective of someone they often agree with). These results suggest that disagreement, often highlighted for its negative impact, is a powerful tool in producing accurate judgments.
Helping the Climate Because Others Do: An Exploratory Analysis of the Psychological Predictors of Intention to Perform High Impact Pro-Environmental Behaviors
Authors: Thulin Erik , Rakhimov Abdurakhim
Published: November 2019

Individual behaviors are major contributors to climate change, and changing those behaviors can have a major effect on the magnitude of the climate crisis. To best design interventions to change these behaviors, and target those most likely to change, we must understand the psychological motivations for engaging in them. Previous work has identified environmental beliefs, political orientation, and social expectations as having significant effects on performing pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs). However, this work has tended to focus on lower impact, commonly performed behaviors. In this exploratory study, we evaluate the relevance of these three constructs on predicting individuals’ intention to perform four behaviors previously identified as some of the highest impact individual actions to mitigate greenhouse gas production: driving an electric vehicle, purchasing carbon offsets, switching to a green energy provider, and installing solar panels. Of those three constructs, we find that only social expectations is a strong consistent predictor of intending to perform these high-impact PEBs. These findings suggest that highlighting others performing these behaviors, rather than framing actions in appeals to climate beliefs or targeting those on the political left, may be a particularly effective intervention strategy to drive individual action to mitigate climate change.
Massive Effects of Saliency on Information Processing in Visual Working Memory
Authors: Constant Martin , Liesefeld Heinrich René
Published: November 2019

Limitations in the ability to temporarily represent information in visual working memory (VWM) are crucial for visual cognition. Whether VWM processing is dependent on an object’s saliency (i.e., how much it stands out) has been neglected in VWM research. Therefore, we developed a novel VWM task that allows direct control over saliency. In three experiments with this task (on 10, 31, and 60 adults, respectively), we consistently found that VWM performance is strongly and parametrically influenced by saliency and that both an object’s relative saliency (compared with concurrently presented objects) and absolute saliency influence VWM processing. We also demonstrated that this effect is indeed due to bottom-up saliency rather than differential fit between each object and the top-down attentional template. A simple computational model assuming that VWM performance is determined by the weighted sum of absolute and relative saliency accounts well for the observed data patterns.
Hemifield-specific control of spatial attention and working memory: Evidence from hemifield crossover costs
Authors: Strong Roger W. , Alvarez George
Published: November 2019

Attentional tracking and working memory tasks are often performed better when targets are divided evenly between the left and right visual hemifields, rather than contained within a single hemifield (Alvarez & Cavanagh, 2005; Delvenne, 2005). However, this bilateral field advantage does not provide conclusive evidence of hemifield-specific control of attention and working memory, as it can be explained solely from hemifield-limited spatial interference at early stages of visual processing. If control of attention and working memory is specific to each hemifield, maintaining target information should become more difficult as targets move between the two hemifields. Observers in the present study maintained targets that moved either within or between the left and right hemifields, using either attention (Experiment 1) or working memory (Experiment 2). Maintaining spatial information was more difficult when target items moved between the hemifields compared to when target items moved within their original hemifields, consistent with hemifield-specific control of spatial attention and working memory. However, this pattern was not found for maintaining identity information (e.g., color) in working memory (Experiment 3). Together, these results provide evidence that control of spatial attention and working memory is specific to each hemifield, and that hemifield-specific control is a unique signature of spatial processing.
Biography and Biological Capital
Authors: Vineis Paolo , Kelly-Irving Michelle
Published: November 2019

At the crossroads between sciences, epidemiology brings together the social and the biological to examine social inequalities in health. The concept of biological capital represents the accumulated history of biological experiences, alongside the other forms of accumulated capital, notably cultural, economic and social. The ability to access the three other forms of individual capital and therefore position in life depends on inherited biological health/skills, epigenetic imprinting and the accumulation of embodied biological changes that make an individual more or less successful in life. We present results from analyses carried out within the Lifepath consortium, showing that the socioeconomic environment, from early life and over the lifecourse, is an important risk factor for health and partly works through its effects on biological mechanisms. We show that socially stratified pre-disease states related to ageing may be examined using biomarkers, and help underline areas and mechanisms to promote healthy ageing.
Macrolide Antibiotic in Opioid Detoxification: A Serendipitous discovery?
Authors: Aich TK , Haider J , Dhungana M
Published: November 2019

Introduction: While receiving opioid detoxification treatment with standard Detoxification protocol, one patient was additionally prescribed Roxithromycin for his associated skin infection. Upon withdrawal of roxithromycin following improvement in skin infection, very next day same patient complained of heightened opioid withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms relieved again following reintroduction of Roxithromycin!

Material And Method: It was a naturalistic study of 72 Opioid Dependent patients who received inpatient detoxification treatment at the Universal College of Medical Sciences, Bhairahawa, Nepal. A total of 16 patients received standard opioid detoxification protocol before the incidence of above mentioned patient. Subsequently, a total of 56 patients received Roxithromycin, in addition to the standard protocol, during their inpatient stay with a maximum for a period of 10 days. Necessary ethical clearance from the institute’s ethical clearance committee was taken before carrying out this trial. Duration of inpatient stay and follow-up pattern after discharge was taken as the objective assessment of the efficacy of Roxithromycin in reducing severity of withdrawal symptoms. All other treatment parameters were similar in two groups.

Results: Two groups did not differ in most demographic and clinical variables compared. Opioid dependence patients who received Roxithromycin had significantly longer (t=2.5; p=0.01) voluntary hospitalization stay (10.6 days, SD=6.2) vis-à-vis patients who did not receive it (6.4 days, SD=3.9). They also reported significantly more number of follow-ups after discharge (Fisher’s Exact Test= 0.02).

Conclusion: Roxithromycin, besides being an antibiotic, also possibly act as an anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory agent by regulating leukocyte function.

Authors: Sawant S , Karki U , Bhandari AR
Published: November 2019

Introduction: Hazing is a form of mistreatment received by the newcomers in a group which may have negative psychological consequences. The objectives of the study were a) exploring victimization of hazing in newcomer undergraduate medical students, b) determine the pattern of hazing with its psychological consequences and c) explore undergraduate students’ ways of coping.

Material And Method: It was a Cross-sectional study and a purposive sampling method was used. The total numbers of participants were 88. Data were collected in the third week of the session (January 2017). Instruments used were self-developed semi-structured questionnaire, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) and Ways of Coping Scale.

Results: Study revealed that newcomer medical students were hazed by their seniors in a group as well as individually. Hazing would last for less than one hour to more than two hours at a time and it was repeated more than four times a day. Dress code, an introduction of oneself, playing a fool, verbal abuse and sexual activities were the common types of hazing. Male students were victimized harsh than female and were also found more as caseness on the General Health Questionnaire and rated high on Depressive Anxiety Stress Scale. Commonly used ways of coping by newcomers were social support, positive reappraisal, self-controlling, distancing and accepting responsibility.

Conclusion: Students had very little or no control over hazing and as a result they experienced a high level of psychological distress which can have a significant impact on their mental health.
A Comparative Study of Mathematics Education in the United States and Nepal
Authors: Belbase Shashidhar
Published: November 2019

The purpose of this paper is to compare four domains of mathematics education-curricular materials, pedagogical process, teacher education, and assessment of students’ learning in the United States of America (USA) and Nepal. I applied categorical thinking for document analysis from the literature to find some key concepts related to the four categories of comparison. The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) is a major curriculum standard implemented in many states in the USA, whereas, the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) is the major policy document that guides school mathematics curricula in Nepal. Mostly, classroom practices are student-centred with problem-solving, reasoning and critical thinking in the USA, but it is mostly drill-and-practice in Nepal. Preservice mathematics teacher education in the USA and Nepal are conducted by universities, but there is a vast difference in the courses offered in these countries. Assessment of students’ learning in mathematics is continuously done in classroom activities and exams including some standardized exams in selected grades in the USA, whereas, assessment in Nepal is done with periodic and final exams including standardized district and national tests in selected grades. I discussed some implications of the study.
Teacher-Students Relationship and its Potential Impact on Mathematics Learning
Authors: Dahal Niroj , Luitel Bal Chandra , Pant Binod Prasad
Published: November 2019

This article portrays lived experiences, and is an exploration of pedagogical practices as learners, as teachers, as teacher educators and educational researcher focusing on the relationship between teachers and students shifting from traditional to transformative approach in teaching and learning. Based on lived experiences as students of mathematics from school level to university, and as teachers of mathematics in different institutions in different time, the aim of this article is to examine and explore deep settled behavioural practices and seek to change towards transformative/constructive approach of learning and teaching in terms of teacher-student relationship to maintain quality of instruction for future generation in Nepal. Subscribing interpretive, critical, and postmodern research paradigms to embrace multi-paradigmatic research design (Taylor, Taylor & Luitel, 2012), we used auto-ethnography as a fusion research methodology in this study. Further, the auto-ethnographic inquiry also helped us to examine the pedagogical, cultural and contextual learning from different perspectives as students, teachers, teacher educators and educational researchers thereby offering space for interpretation, transformation and envisionary. We landed with the ideas that students’ active participation in learning, social and cultural enactment and transformative pedagogy promote our practice to be more meaningful, and learner centered which, in turn, develops a cordial relationship. Our vision to develop the cordial relationship between teacher-students is focused a bit differently in this article.

Forty-two purposively selected students in the sample were selected. Their understanding of different methods of proof was determined with the help of a test paper consisting of 30 mathematical statements with proof. The study concluded that students are familiar with the methods of proofs used in verifying a mathematical statement. In addition, it is found that students with a previous degree in education and other majors differ in the level of understanding of different methods of proof in mathematics.
Square Roots in Vedic Mathematics
Authors: Parajuli Krishna Kanta
Published: November 2019

This paper specially concentrates on finding the square roots of perfect as well as imperfect square numbers by the Vedic sutra Vilokanam. Generally, extracting the square root of a number is considered a tedious job. There are two methods taught in our present-day classroom by conventional approach to find square roots, which are lengthy and time consuming. But, the Vedic Sutra Vilokanam helps us to find square root of such numbers with a little practice. The technique mentioned for extracting square root for imperfect square numbers does not belong solely to Vedic Mathematics written by Swami Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja. Mathematicians have been using it as a part of their general practice. However, the technique for calculating square roots and described in Vedic Mathematics is difficult. The methods discussed and organization of the content of the paper here are intended to show the Vedic Mathematics as an extremely refined and efficient mathematical system than conventional system.
Relation of Pythagorean and Isosceles Orthogonality with Best approximations in Normed Linear Space
Authors: Ojha Bhuwan Prasad , Bajrayacharya Prakash Muni
Published: November 2019

In an arbitrary normed space, though the norm not necessarily coming from the inner product space, the notion of orthogonality may be introduced in various ways as suggested by the mathematicians like R.C. James, B.D. Roberts, G. Birkhoff and S.O. Carlsson. We aim to explore the application of orthogonality in normed linear spaces in the best approximation. Hence it has already been proved that Birkhoff orthogonality implies best approximation and best approximation implies Birkhoff orthogonality. Additionally, it has been proved that in the case of ε -orthogonality, ε -best approximation implies ε -orthogonality and vice-versa. In this article we established relation between Pythagorean orthogonality and best approximation as well as isosceles orthogonality and ε -best approximation in normed space.

Published: November 2019

The educational market in Brazil has become very competitive and, according to the Higher Education Sense, 88.20% of Higher Education Institutions are private. To make a difference in the market, HEIs must offer quality services. This offer requires a lot of intellectual as well as financial investment. Given this reality, managers need to control their revenues, but especially control their costs, which, for this business, are very high. Managers need to adopt strategic cost management methods so that they can know how their company is facing its own reality, make comparisons with other companies in the same sector, and have sufficient subsidies for decision-making. This article, through a data analysis research, seeks, through an appropriate methodology, to demonstrate the importance of applying appropriate cost management methods in private Higher Education Institutions that offer Lato Sensu Specialization courses.

OBJECTIVE

Cervical deformity (CD) is difficult to define due to the high variability in normal cervical alignment based on postural- and thoracolumbar-driven changes to cervical alignment. The purpose of this study was to identify whether patterns of sagittal deformity could be established based on neutral and dynamic alignment, as shown on radiographs.

METHODS

This study is a retrospective review of a prospective, multicenter database of CD patients who underwent surgery from 2013 to 2015. Their radiographs were reviewed by 12 individuals using a consensus-based method to identify severe sagittal CD. Radiographic parameters correlating with health-related quality of life were introduced in a two-step cluster analysis (a combination of hierarchical cluster and k-means cluster) to identify patterns of sagittal deformity. A comparison of lateral and lateral extension radiographs between clusters was performed using an ANOVA in a post hoc analysis.

RESULTS

Overall, 75 patients were identified as having severe CD due to sagittal malalignment, and they formed the basis of this study. Their mean age was 64 years, their body mass index was 29 kg/m2, and 66% were female. There were significant correlations between focal alignment/flexibility of maximum kyphosis, cervical lordosis, and thoracic slope minus cervical lordosis (TS-CL) flexibility (r = 0.27, 0.31, and −0.36, respectively). Cluster analysis revealed 3 distinct groups based on alignment and flexibility. Group 1 (a pattern involving a flat neck with lack of compensation) had a large TS-CL mismatch despite flexibility in cervical lordosis; group 2 (a pattern involving focal deformity) had focal kyphosis between 2 adjacent levels but no large regional cervical kyphosis under the setting of a low T1 slope (T1S); and group 3 (a pattern involving a cervicothoracic deformity) had a very large T1S with a compensatory hyperlordosis of the cervical spine.

CONCLUSIONS

Three distinct patterns of CD were identified in this cohort: flat neck, focal deformity, and cervicothoracic deformity. One key element to understanding the difference between these groups was the alignment seen on extension radiographs. This information is a first step in developing a classification system that can guide the surgical treatment for CD and the choice of fusion level.

Analysis of the standards for the preparation of electromechanics in Ukraine showed that the electromechanic engineer is able to solve complex specialized problems and practical problems in a certain area of professional activity or in the process of study. These problems are characterized by complexity and uncertainty of conditions. The main competencies include social-personal, general-scientific, instrumental, general-professional and specialized-professional. A review of scientific publications devoted to the training of electromechanics has shown that four branches of engineering are involved in the training of electromechanical engineers: mechanical and electrical engineering (with a common core of electromechanics), electronic engineering and automation. The common use of the theory, methods and means of these industries leads to the emergence of a combined field of engineering — mechatronics. Summarizing the experience of electrical engineers professional training in Ukraine and abroad makes it possible todetermine the main directions of their professional training modernization.

Semerikov S.O. Pototskyi V.S., Slovak K.I., Hryshchenko S.M. and Kiv A.E.  Automation of the Export Data from Open Journal Systems to the Russian Science Citation Index. It is shown that the calculation of scientometric indicators of the scientist and also the scientific journal continues to be an actual problem nowadays. It is revealed that the leading scientometric databases have the capabilities of automated metadata collection from the scientific journal website by the use of specialized electronic document management systems, in particular Open Journal Systems. It is established that Open   Journal Systems successfully exports metadata about an article from scientific journals to scientometric databases Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. However, there is no standard method of export from Open Journal Systems to such scientometric databases as the Russian Science Citation Index and Index Copernicus, which determined the need for research. The aim of the study is to develop the plug-in to the Open Journal Systems for the export of data from this system to scientometric database Russian Science Citation Index. As a result of the study, an infological model for exporting metadata from Open Journal Systems to the Russian Science Citation Index was proposed. The SirenExpo plug-in was developed to export data from Open Journal Systems to the Russian Science Citation Index by the use of the Articulusrelease preparation system.

The object of research is: the  educational process in educational institutions of Ukraine of different levels of accreditation. The subject of research is: the educational process in a cloud-based environment in educational institutions of Ukraine.The research methods used are the next: analysis of scientific publications, observations. The results of the research are the next: on the basis of the analysis of scientific works, it has been established that the experience of the augmented reality using in the systems based on cloud technologies already exists. However, the success of such a combination has not yet been proven. Currently, laboratory tests are known, while the experiment was not carried out under natural conditions in control and experimental groups. It is revealed that the attraction of the augmented reality for the educators requires the development of new methodologies, didactic materials, updating and updating of the curriculum. The main conclusions and recommendations: the main principles of augmented reality use in the learning process are: designingof the environment that is flexible enough, attention should be paid to the teaching and didactic issues; adjusting the educational content for mastering the material provided by the curriculum; the research methods that can be used in training along with the elements of augmented reality are to be elaborated; development of adaptive materials; training of teachers, which will include augmented reality in educational practice.
Prevalence and Risk Factors for low back pain among Nurses at Benghazi Medical Centre, Libya.
Authors: Mukhtad Amal
Published: November 2019

Lower back pain (LBP) is recognized as a cause of morbidity in developed nations in different occupational situations. Health care workers (HCWs), in particular nurses, are especially vulnerable to LBP. About 60–80% of the general people suffer from LBP at some time during their lives. However, there is not enough care about workplace health and safety problems facing the health care workforce in developing nations, such as Libya. Thus, this study aimed to find out the status of low back pain and factors affecting pain among the nurses in Benghazi Medical Centre (BMC), Libya. Cross-sectional study was conducted on BMC in 2018. The data was collected by a self-administered questionnaire. Chi-square was used to determine the association between associated risk factors and LBP prevalence (p<0.05). There is a high prevalence (79%) of low back pain among nurses in BMC. Individual and work-related factors were found as risk factors for LBP. In Libya, nurses are considered as a critical health and safety concern, as a result of the weakness of policies in healthcare organizations. Consequently, a proper no weight lifting policy should be considered. If not, proper manual lifting must be implemented.
