The impact of ownership structure, financial distress on earnings management: The case of Vietnam
Authors: Dang Ngoc Hung , Tran Manh Dung
Published: July 2020

The paper examines the effect of ownership structure
on profit management in Vietnam. In this study, we explore how three components
of ownership structure - the degree of ownership concentration of managers, foreign
ownership ratio and state ownership ratio - affect earnings management. In addition, we
also consider whether ownership structure affects profit management during
financial constraints. We used
REM, FEM, GLS, and GMM regression methods. The study results have shown that
ownership structure with foreign ownership has a positive effect on earnings
management, whereas one with a proportion of state ownership has a
contradicting effect. While the degree of ownership concentration does not
affect the profit management, in the context of financial restrictions, the
ownership ratio has an impact on the management of earnings. Controllable
variables in the model, such as firm size, financial leverage, growth rate,
profitability and audit quality, all have an impact on earnings management. The
results could, potentially, be the basis to help businesses in restricting earnings management behaviour.

ABSTRAKPendidikan saat ini memang menjadi dasar dari kemajuan pembangunan generasi bangsa. Peserta didik sebagai generasi emas penerus bangsa dipersiapkan untuk masa depan. Tentu tenaga pendidik merupakan kunci utama untuk menghasilkan generasi emas Indonesia yang dicanangkan akan tercapai tahun 2045 generasi yang bermutu dan berkualitas. Negara kita saat ini menghadapi wabah pandemi COVID-19 sehingga dengan demikian maka pemerintah menerapkan kebijakan pembelajaran secara online atau daring dimana peserta didik diharuskan belajar di rumah saja untuk menghindari terpaparnya COVID-19. Tentunya banyak kendala dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran online atau daring ini, tetapi kegiatan pembelajaran kepada peserta didik harus tetap dilaksanakan ditengah kebijakan pemerintah di era new normal saat ini .Saat ini pemerintah kita sedang menerapkan kebijakan new normal tak terkecuali kenormalan baru pada sektor pendidikan. Pada kebijakan new normal saat ini kita sebagai masyarakat diharuskan untuk hidup secara berdampingan dengan pandemi COVID-19 tetapi tetap dengan memperhatikan segala aspek protokol kesehatan.Tujuan dalam tulisan ini untuk menjadikan pertimbangan guru atau tenaga pendidik dalam merencanakan strategi pembelajaran dan dalam menerapkan model pembelajaran jarak jauh atau online ini jadi diharapkan peserta didik akan mendapatkan pendidikan yang bermutu dan berkualitas. Untuk penerapannya maka diperlukan pembelajaran yang bervariasi dan inovatif supaya peserta didik tetap bergairah mengikuti pembelajaran walaupun pembelajaran dilaksanakan secara secara jarak jauh atau online. Pembelajaran online atau daring ini dapat dilakukan secara virtual, berkelompok sebagai wadah berdiskusi, pemberian materi kepada peserta didik dalam bentuk video, rekaman, powerpoint, modul, lembar belajar, permainan dengan game quizizz dan penilaian secara online atau daring juga bisa dilakukan dalam strategi pembelajaran online atau daring ini. Kelebihan pembelajaran online atau daring ini juga bisa menjadikan peserta didik akan lebih efektif dalam belajar karena pembelajaran tidak lelah, menyenangkan, pengalaman baru dan kelemahan pembelajaran online atau daring ini dari koneksi internet yang kurang baik, terkadang peserta didik juga kurang paham dengan materi, peserta didik merasa bosan, peserta didik tidak bisa berdiskusi dengan teman seleluasa seperti biasanya. Banyak peneliti dan praktisi telah mengakui bahwa elearning sebagai media pengajaran prospektif di masa depan menghadapi kesulitan dan tantangan untuk diterapkan dengan sukses (Abbas, E. W., & Rajiani, I. (2019).Berdasarkan dari masalah tersebut maka kebijakan pembelajaran online atau daring haruslah menarik dan bervariasi agar memberikan manfaat bagi generasi emas dalam pembelajaran.

Authors: Asio John Mark Ramos
Published: July 2020

Student bullying a teacher is a phenomenon given with the least attention and focus since the perpetrators were seen as the academe itself. This descriptive study is aimed to determine the understanding and behavior of students in a higher education institution towards teacher bullying. The study surveyed 105 conveniently selected respondents from the three (3) different departments of a local community college in Olongapo City who were currently enrolled within the school year of 2017-2018. A draft questionnaire was created and submitted for validity, reliability and consistency checks from different experts. The data collected were then processed using SPSS 22. The following results were generated: the respondent was a female, 18-20 years of age, first-year level and studying under the College of Business and Accountancy. The respondents moderately understood the idea of teacher bullying and their behavior towards teacher bullying is slightly inappropriate. Significant findings were found when the variables were grouped according to the year level and department. There was also a low relationship that was observed between understanding, year level and department. Based on the results, pertinent institutional policies and programs were recommended and suggested.

No Evidence for an Influence of Grammatical Number in Two-Digit Magnitude and Place-Value Processing in Adults
Authors: Huber Julia , Soltanlou Mojtaba , Cipora Krzysztof , Lipowska Katarzyna , Domahs Frank , Haman Maciej , Nuerk Hans-Christoph
Published: July 2020

Numerous studies revealed effects of some linguistic properties like inversion or reading/writing direction on number processing. However, it remains more controversial, whether influences at a syntactic level, such as singular vs. plural form associated with certain numbers, can also influence magnitude and place-value processing and vice versa. In this study, we investigated for the first time in a classical two-digit number comparison task whether grammatical number also affects magnitude and place-value processing (and vice versa). To do so, we used a peculiarity of the Polish language, where the inflection of a verb depends on the unit digit of a number (singular for 25-29, 35-39, etc. and plural for 22-24, 32-34, etc.). This systematic pattern allows the manipulation of congruency between grammatical number and magnitude information, both on an item and a response level (i.e., the grammatical number is either compatible or incompatible to the magnitude information or the response side). We observed no significant interference effects, neither between grammatical number (i.e., associated singular/ plural inflection of the number) and magnitude information, nor between grammatical number and the response side. Model comparisons revealed that models without grammatical number, could explain our data best. Hence, grammatical number did not contribute to the explanation of the data beyond unit-decade compatibility, distance effect and SNARC effect and, thus, seems to be negligible in two-digit number comparison. Task characteristics, which might contribute to this finding are discussed.
Progression from interpersonal problems to suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior in borderline personality disorder
Authors: Allen Timothy , Hallquist Michael , Wright Aidan G.C. , Dombrovski Alexandre
Published: July 2020

Importance: Clinicians treating borderline personality disorder (BPD) are often faced with the difficult challenge of assessing when, and for whom, risk for suicide is greatest. Addressing this dilemma requires longitudinal, prospective data from high-risk samples with an elevated base rate of suicide attempts.Objective: To test whether dispositional characteristics modulate the pathway from interpersonal dysfunction to suicide in BPD. Design: This longitudinal, observational study was conducted between 1990 and 2020. Data were analyzed between April and July 2020. Participants were assessed annually for up to 30 years (mean number of follow-ups = 7.82). Setting: Participants were recruited from inpatient, outpatient, and community referral sources.Participants: 458 individuals (Mean age = 28.59, 77% female) diagnosed with BPD.Main Outcomes and Measures: Presence or absence of a suicide attempt within one year of each follow-up assessment. Multilevel structural equation modeling was used to 1) examine longitudinal, within-person transitions from interpersonal dysfunction to suicidal ideation to suicide attempts (i.e., the [I]nterpersonal-[I]deation-[A]ttempt pathway); and 2) evaluate whether two maladaptive personality dimensions, negative affect and disinhibition, moderated these transitions.Results: At the within-person level, there was support for the I-I-A pathway: suicidal ideation accounted for the association between interpersonal dysfunction and suicide attempts. Personality further moderated each component of the I-I-A pathway: negative affect was associated with a stronger coupling between interpersonal dysfunction and ideation; and disinhibition was associated with a stronger coupling between ideation and attempts. Conclusions and Relevance: The escalation from interpersonal difficulties to a suicidal crisis in BPD involves two psychologically distinct process. An internalizing process links interpersonal dysfunction to suicidal ideation and is facilitated by trait negative. An additional externalizing process links suicidal ideation to suicide attempts, and is facilitated by trait disinhibition. Assessment of these intra- and interindividual risk factors may inform clinical decisions about when, and for whom, crisis intervention is necessary.
Safe Joint Mechanism using torsion springs for Collision Safety and Positioning Accuracy of a Robot Arm
Authors: Belharet Adel , Song Jae-Bok
Published: July 2020

In recent years, the potential for collision between humans and robots has drawn much attention since service robots are increasingly being used in the human environment. A safe robot arm can be achieved using either an active or passive compliance method. A passive compliance system composed of purely mechanical elements often provides faster and more reliable responses to dynamic collision than an active system involving sensors and actuators. Since positioning accuracy and collision safety of a robot arm are equally important, a robot arm should have very low stiffness when subjected to a collision force capable of causing human injury. Otherwise, it should maintain a very high stiffness. To implement these requirements, a novel safe joint mechanism (SJM-IV) consisting of a CAM, rotational links with rollers, and torsion springs is proposed. The SJM-IV has the advantage of nonlinear stiffness, which can be achieved only with passive mechanical elements. Various analyses and experiments on static and dynamic collisions show high stiffness of the SJM-IV against an external torque less than a predetermined threshold torque, with an abrupt drop in stiffness when the external torque exceeds this threshold. The safe joint mechanism enables a robot manipulator to guarantee positioning accuracy and collision safety, and which is simple to install between an actuator and a robot link without a significant change in the robot’s design.

Published: July 2020

This paper examines the value chain alliance and financing of sikki craft in Nepal. Among other crafts, sikki crafts is the potential handicrafts in rural community in Nepal. Sikki (dhakiya) is the natural fiber made from grass and which is being used among Tharu communities as a gift during marriage ceremony of daughter and high export potential in global market. Sikki is more labor-intensive based production, which involvement of women in whole process as well as 79% costs of raw materials have been used from local resources. Lack of awareness, inadequate design, lack of coordination, networking and structures, inadequate business knowledge and inefficient technology were major constraints hindering the growth of this sikki craft sub-sector in Nepal. It was estimated that a total of 630 enterprises can be developed during the five-year period. The study revealed that, a total of NPR 70.5 million will required to manage their enterprises that can create over 1260 jobs. The loan fund to be required from external financial institutions will be NPR 3.9 million, where Government of Nepal can play a catalytic role to help these entrepreneurs obtain such loans from the formal sources through brokerage system charging fees. The return of investment of this product was 66% and benefit-cost ratio was 1.7. From the points of view of value chain financing of sikki craft, the business seems viable to the rural women in Terai’ community of Nepal from employment generation and promotion of Nepalese handicraft in global niche markets.

Authors: Bhusal Dinesh Sharma , Shrestha Bebina
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Resting tongue position is of crucial importance in the stability and retention of complete denture, particularly of the mandible. The retracted position of the tongue has been found to be higher in edentulous subjects when compared to dentate subjects and highest in completely edentulous individuals.

Objectives: To evaluate the resting tongue position in completely edentulous as well as partially edentulous patients.

Methods: 50 edentulous and 50 partially edentulous (mandible) subjects were taken. The edentulous group was divided into two groups according to the duration of edentulousness. Group A: Recently extracted edentulous subjects (< 1 year), Group B: Long term edentulous subjects (> 1 years). The partially edentulous group was divided into 4 groups according to Kennedy classification. The resting tongue positions of all the individuals were determined. The data was analyzed using SPSS statistical tests like mean, standard deviation, proportion, Chi-square test and Independent T-test.

Results: In complete edentulous group, the abnormal upper was the most frequent (38%). In partial edentulous group, the normal lower was the most frequently observed tongue position with 34%. The abnormal tongue position was found in 68% and 40% in completely edentulous and partially edentulous subjects respectively.

Conclusion: Retracted resting tongue position is found to be higher in completely edentulous subjects than partially edentulous ones.

Published: July 2020

Introduction: Fluoride when present in drinking water at optimal level has been shown to promote oral health by preventing tooth decay. Dental caries represents a health problem that impacts on the medical, functional, nutritional and psychological status of patients in all the age groups. Fluoridation of public water supply is a safe, economical and effective measure to prevent dental caries.

Objective: To estimate the level of fluoride present in drinking water supplies in all the wards of Dharan and to compare the fluoride concentration of its different water supply sources.

Methods: One hundred water samples were collected from the various sources (ground water and surface water) and its different reservoirs along with random samples of 2-7 from all the wards of Dharan. The samples were then taken to the SEAM-N-MMA laboratory, Biratnagar to be tested for fluoride using the photometric method. Microsoft excel for data entry and SPSS 11.5 version for analysis were used. Significance of the variables was examined by Chi-square test.

Results: The results of this study showed that in 96% of the samples taken, fluoride level was below the optimal. Only few samples met the lower range guideline value of Nepal (0.5 mg/l). Also, there was significant difference (p< 0.002) between the surface and consumer level fluoride.

Conclusion: The fluoride content in drinking water supplies of Dharan was found to be below optimal level as per the national and WHO guideline values.
Sequential Foley Catheter and Misoprostol Versus Misoprostol Alone for Induction of Labor in Postdated Pregnancy: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Thapa Baburam Dixit , Manandhar Tara , Sitaula Sarita , Basnet Tulasa
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Induction of labor is done with the aim of normal vaginal delivery. There are different methods; mechanical like intra-cervical Foley’s or pharmacological agents like misoprostol ordinoprostone.

Objectives: To compare sequential use of Foley’s catheter and vaginal misoprostol in comparison with vaginal misoprostol only.

Methods: Patients with period of gestation more than or equal to 41 weeks without any complications were assigned randomly according to computer generated randomization into sequential use ofintracervical Foley followed by vaginal misoprostol after 24 hours (sequential group) or vaginalmisoprostol only. Primary outcome was rate of normal vaginal delivery. Secondary outcomes were induction to delivery interval, maternal and fetal morbidity.

Results: Rate of normal vaginal delivery in sequential group (n= 353) and misoprostol alone group(n= 356) was 71.6% and 53.3% (p < 0.001) but the time to delivery from induction is statistically more in sequential group (30.3 vs. 11.2 hours, p< 0.001). Maternal outcomes like postpartum hemorrhage, hyper-stimulation syndrome, chorioamnitis and neonatal outcomes like low Apgar score, meconium stained baby and stillbirth are similar in both the groups.

Conclusions: The priming of cervix using intracervical Foley catheter before giving vaginalmisoprostol was beneficial in increasing the rate of normal vaginal delivery but it increased the induction to delivery interval.

Authors: Hamal Diwa , Kafle Santosh , Kafle Prerna Arjyal , Poudyal Prija , Lamichhane Binaya , Limbu Ben
Published: July 2020

Introduction: Ocular cysticercosis is a preventable cause of blindness. It is caused by parasitic infestation caused by the larval form of Taenia solium. Poor sanitation and improper management of food and meat products are the major causes for cysticercosis infestation.

Case: Two cases of myocysticercosis presented to our hospital differently. A 12 years boy, first case presented with drooping of right eye (RE) upper lid with recurrent swelling, pain, redness with mild headache and intermittent vomiting for 1 and half months. On examination swelling of RE upper lid, mild ptosis, abaxial proptosis with restricted motility in upgaze was noted. Orbital CT (computer tomography) scan and ocular ultrasound reports showed findings suggestive of myocysticercosis of superior rectus muscle of RE. Routine microscopic examination (RME) of stool demonstrated eggs of Taenia. Complete blood count (CBC) showed eosinophilia. As a suspected case of myocysticercosis and since the patient resided at an endemic zone, empirical therapy with albendazole and steroid was started to continue for 4 weeks. After one week the patient presented with features suggestive of RE orbital cellulitis. With proper counseling about medical therapy and cyst excision, the patient recovered well with only mild RE upper lid ptosis of 2mm. The histopathological examination (HPE) of the excised cyst was suggestive of inflammatory cystic lesion. A 55 years male presented as a second case to us with gradually increasing mass in the RE lower lid with a history of pain, difficulty in opening RE and intermittent swelling of RE 2 months back. On examination RE lower lid mass with exotropia of 15 degree, mild hypertropia was noted. CT scan showed presence of cystic mass 3.5x2x1.5cm in the right orbit involving the right inferior rectus muscle, abutting and displacing the globe superolaterally. CBC showed eosinophilia. Post cyst excision patient recovered well with remaining mild restriction in infraduction most probably due to fibrosis. HPE was conclusive of cysticercus cellulosae. Both the patients improved well with no recurrence until last visit 17 months in 12 years boy and 6 months in 55 years male after which he lost to follow.

Conclusion: Myocysticercosis can occur at any age. There is equal importance of clinical, radiological, microbiological and histopathological support for proper diagnosis and management of cysticercosis. Medical therapy along with surgical excision of the cyst with it’s content may be needed in the management of myocysticersosis.

Authors: Yadav Reena , Gupta Sharad , Shrestha Jyoti Baba , Yadav Raveena , Yadav Tushar Bikram Sipaliya
Published: July 2020

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is emerging as a leading cause of childhood blindness. The incidence of ROP is likely to increase after improvement in neonatal care unit in premature neonates. This study is conducted to determine the perinatal risk factors for ROP in preterm and low birth weight neonates.

Methods: This is a prospective, descriptive and clinical; hospital based study. A total of 92 preterm neonates with gestational age of 36 weeks or less and birth weight of 2000 grams or less admitted in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) were screened. Detailed antenatal, perinatal and neonatal history; birth asphyxia and subsequent oxygen support records were noted. All the neonates underwent detailed anterior and posterior segment eye examination with indirect binocular ophthalmoscope after pupil dilatation within 4 weeks of life. Retinal vascular changes were classified according to the International Classification of Retinopathy of Prematurity. The Chi-square test with odds ratio was performed to derive the association between ROP and antenatal, perinatal and neonatal factors. A p-value was considered significant at 0.05.

Result: Out of 92 neonates, 21(22.8%) developed ROP. Twelve neonates (13%) had stage-1 ROP, 6(6.5%) had stage-2 and 3(3.3%) had stage-3 ROP. Birth weight (OR=2.9; p=0.04; 95% CI=1.0-8.3), gestational age (OR=3.9; p=0.01; 95% CI=1.3-11.8) and time span of oxygen exposure (OR=2.9; p=0.05; 95% CI=1.0-8.4) had a strong association with ROP.

Conclusion: The incidence of ROP is significantly high among preterm low birth weight neonates. The risk of developing ROP becomes even greater with lower gestational age and more duration of oxygen exposure.
Major Cereal Crop Production in Kabhrepalanchok
Authors: Giri Mira , Dahal Dhundi Raj
Published: July 2020

Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sectors to climate change impact. The main purpose of the study is to find the recent production of major cereal crops as rice, maize, and wheat per unit area in Banepa municipality, as a case study to the local trends and adaptation. The study was conducted among the household of ward No. 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 in the Municipality. Field observation, in-depth interview, focus group discussion, Questionnaire survey methods were adopted for information collection, cross-validation with verification and using a secondary source of the information. Monthly precipitation and monthly minimum and maximum air temperatures data of Dhulikhel station were used to study their annual and seasonal trends.

Time-series annual yield data in rice, maize, and wheat were collected from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. Production was also accessed from the local level in a cross-sectional survey. Temperature and precipitation were collected from the Department of Hydrology and Metrology. The Survey indicated that yields have increased for major cereal crops and this led to an increase in the use of chemical fertilizer, chemical pesticides, improved seed, and improved management practices. The impacts of these changes have resulted in an increased attack of white grub in roots and maize smut in cobs, rice blast in panicle and stem, rust and blight disease and grain borer in wheat. The major issues for farmers were found to be a deficit of inorganic fertilizers, an insufficient supply of quality seeds and an unsystematic market. The coping mechanism for climate change in farming was not applied due to a lack of knowledge, facilities, and access to improved technologies. The farmers expected advanced technological know-how along with other facilities for climate-resilient farming.

This study concludes that change in climate is affecting the agriculture in Banepa Municipality of Kabhrepalancchok. The existing local and institutional strategies are not sufficient and sustainable to cope with climatic vagaries. It is very important to address the problems in this region with institutional support and through a long-term policy perspective.

BACKGROUND: People who use drugs (PWUD) are among the highest risk category for becoming infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Canada. There is a need for more information on the demographics of HCV-infected PWUD/PWID who have recently injected drugs or who are actively injecting drugs. METHODS: CAPICA was a multicentre, retrospective database/chart review conducted from October 2015 to February 2016 that was designed to characterize HCV-infected people who inject drugs (PWID) and are enrolled in clinical care in Canada. The aim was to identify factors of health care engagement essential in the design systems of HCV care and treatment in this population. The study enrolled 420 patients with a history of injection drug use within the last 12 months who had been diagnosed with chronic viremic HCV infection and had been participants in an outpatient clinical care setting in the past 12 months. Patients who were co-infected with HIV/HCV were excluded. RESULTS: Harm reduction programs were in place at 92% (11/12) of the sites, and 75% (9) of these sites offered opioid agonist therapy (OAT), with 48% of the patients currently taking OAT. HCV genotype 1a was most prevalent (56%), followed by G3 (34%), and the most common fibrosis score was F1 (34%). The average reinfection rate was about 5%. Seventeen percent of the patients were undergoing HCV treatment or had recently failed therapy, while 83% were not being treated. CONCLUSIONS: In a multivariate analysis, the following factors were significantly associated with treatment: increasing age (OR 1.10), a fibrosis score of F4 (OR 4.91), moderate alcohol consumption (OR 3.70), and not using a needle exchange program (OR 6.95).
Understanding the Relationship between School Leadership for Social Justice and Student Achievement
Authors: Rozich Elizabeth S.
Published: July 2020

With the aim of understanding why the achievement gap persists for marginalized students, this mixed methods study examined the beliefs and practices of school leaders in both high-performing and low-performing Title I schools. Quantitative data were collected using the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS), and qualitative data offered further explanation for the differences between school leaders’ beliefs and practices. Two significant differences were found using the PIMRS: Supervise and Evaluate Instruction and Protect Instructional Time. Qualitative findings suggested three key differences between the high-performing and low-performing schools. First, the school leaders at high-performing schools (SLHPs) focused on how to provide an equitable education, while the school leaders at low-performing schools (SLLPs) focused on why to provide an equitable education. Second, SLHPs worked with a clear vision for students to reach their highest academic potential, with subgoals acting in service of this ultimate goal. In contrast, SLLPs met each goal for its own sake instead of in service to the overarching goal of students reaching their highest academic potential. Third, SLHPs were seen by parents as being “like family” and were found to have a warm demander mindset, while the SLLPs were seen by parents as caring but had a pobrecitos mindset. Recommendations include training school leaders to develop a caring and rigor-focused style and to critically self-reflect to identify and avoid beliefs and practices that undermine progress (e.g., the pobrecitos mindset, the “Maslow trap”).

The relationships between linear dimensions of the lumbar intervertebral discs (IVDL1-L2, IVDL2-L3, IVDL3-L4, IVDL4-L5) and somatometric parameters in girls and females of the first adulthood were investigated. The numerous relationships between the partial (height, sagittal and transverse sizes) linear dimensions and total sizes of the lumbar intervertebral discs in girls and women of the first adulthood (16-26 years) with their somatometric parameters were found. The linear dimensions of the lumbar intervertebral discs (height, sagittal and transverse sizes) were measured on the MRI images in the axial, sagittal and coronal plains. The arithmetic means of absolute correlation coefficients between particular and total individual sizes of IVDL1-L2, IVDL2-L3, IVDL3-L4, IVDL4-L5 and relative quantity with somatometric parameters were calculated with following results: arithmetic means of absolute correlation coefficients for particular individual sizes are within 0,120 - 0,170; for total sizes – 0,190; for ratio of the total sizes to the mass-growth coefficient – 0,507.

Prior to a surgery for diaphragmatic dome relaxation a patient sought consultation of an orthopedic traumatologist about his concomitant spinal diseases. The patient’s symptoms could describe both diaphragmatic relaxation and multiple spinal pathologies complicated by rib displacement.Thorough diagnostics and careful analysis followed by subsequent manual correction of the patient’s skeletal misalignments allowed to relieve all pain, restore the patient’s ability to work and prevent an unreasonable and traumatic surgery which was in fact unnecessary and unjustifiably harmful as it wouldn’t solve the problem of pain caused by the pathologies in the costovertebral area and could potentially lead to the patient’s disability. As for diaphragmatic relaxation, it was asymptomatic in the first place and never actually required surgery. It is therefore important to exercise a great degree of responsibility when diagnosing complex clinical cases.
A new species of the weevil genus Ceutorhynchus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from China
Authors: Korotyaev B.A.
Published: July 2020

Ceutorhynchus (Heorhynchus) catenulatus sp. nov. is described from China (Sichuan). It differs from the two known members of the subgenus Heorhynchus Korotyaev, 1999 in the smaller size, coarsely catenulate elytra, deeper median sulcus and sharper lateral tubercles on the pronotum, usually rufous antennae and tarsi, and truncate apically aedeagus. From C.ibukianus Hustache, 1916, the new species is distinguished, in addition, by the black colour without clear blue sheen. Ceutorhynchus philippovi Korotyaev, 1980, described from the south of the Russian Far East, is synonymized with C. subcoeruleipennis Voss, 1958 described from China.

Published: July 2020

The course materials students are expected to utilise in online instruction vary. Studies have shown that students tend to enjoy online courses with lecture videos more than those without, but few studies have measured the impact of lecture videos on student outcomes. Do lecture videos increase student understanding and retention, thus improving student outcomes? Students were provided with one or more study aids, video lecture, PowerPoint or instructor-created notes for learning about the role of the Electoral College in US presidential elections. We assessed student retention and understanding of the Electoral College with a quiz as an indicator of student outcomes. We found that the video lecture in combination with a PowerPoint was the most effective study aid.
Active learning in criminal justice
Authors: Dealey Jill
Published: July 2020

Active learning, with students engaging in research or activities within the community, is a favoured approach in contemporary higher education. To support this approach, the Criminology and Forensic Studies programmes at the University of Winchester have included student research into miscarriages of justice. The students interrogate evidence from a criminal trial to attempt to establish if there has been a wrongful conviction. This article discusses the importance of this work for students of Criminology. It considers the contribution to the learning experience of the range of opportunities available to undergraduate and postgraduate students and evaluates the potential impact on curriculum and learning development during the degree programme, in addition to the benefits for future employment.

Important step in the construction of a geological and hydrodynamic model is to set the correct properties of the formations and further adapt the model to the historical development data. Main source of information on the geological properties of reservoirs is well logging data.

Paper describes the application of the method for post-interpretation processing of logging data, with the help of which the lateral anisotropy value of the field site is found. Brief discussion on the algorithm for adapting the hydrodynamic model to the parameters of the formation using one reference well is given. Feature of the logging data application to study the phenomenon of permeability anisotropy is that this type of research is widespread, has sufficient information content, and the geophysical system itself does not require the inclusion of specialized instruments. Based on geophysical study, a volumetric model of the properties for oil and gas bearing formation is constructed, from which the permeability distribution is used, whose gradient allows establishing the directions of improved and deteriorated filtration properties.

As a result, during adaption of the model, it was possible to achieve a difference in reserves between the geological and hydrodynamic models of 2.4 %, which is an acceptable deviation for further calculations. It was found that the direction of improved filtration properties has a northeastern direction at an angle of 35°, and the value of lateral anisotropy is 2.2.

Obtained results of lateral anisotropy, taking into account the data on values of vertical anisotropy, are included in the field model, where it is planned to further study the effect of permeability anisotropy on formation productivity.
