Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTHigh-energy events are increasingly frequent in Northeast Brazil. Of these we mention undertow between December and April, causing several impacts on coastal areas. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to establish the evolution of the Aquiraz city's coast line in the period 1958 to 2014 and from 2009 to 2014 to identify erosion and silting trends, the natural and anthropogenic tensioners associated with these procedures. In the methodology, the maximum flood line was chosen as an indicator of advance or retreat of shoreline, identified in QuickBird and Landsat satellite images and aerial photographs. The program DSAS was applied to evolution of the coastline in the last 56 years. It was found that the coast is in progressive erosive phase. Between 1958 - 2014, Japan's AEPR from -0.07 to -1.29 m / year and Porto das Dunas from -0.29 to -2.61 m / year. The reflection of this human action coincides with the period of greatest retreat of the coastline throughout the area. The frontal dunes are arranged discontinuously, are absent in some places due to the occupation of tents and fixed constructions. Thus this coastal line study was an essential tool to deepen regarding the local dynamics in order to suggest further mitigation measures by generating new data considering the occupation advancement and climate and oceanographic changes.

Authors: Rianti Eva , Bhaidawi Bhaidawi , Abdullah Abdullah
Published: December 2018

Imperata weeds are very difficult to control. It is because the weeds have ability to regenerate rapidly through the stolon and seed. Weed control in principle is an effort to increase the competitiveness of basic crops and weaken the competitiveness of weeds. The use of glyphosate herbicide can be mixed with other ingredients; one of them is urea fertilizer. This study aims to reveal whether the mixture of glyphosate herbicide and urea fertilizer at several doses can suppress weed growth. This study used Randomized Block Design factorial pattern, with two factors: (1) dose factor of glyphosate (G); G0 (control), G1 (glyphosate 100 ml liter), and G2 (200 ml liters of glyphosate). (2) urea fertilizer (P); P0 (control), P1 (urea 400 gram), and P2 (urea 600 gram). The results showed that the mixture of glyphosate herbicide and urea fertilizer can suppress the growth and development of imperata weeds. The best treatment was found in a mixture of 200 ml of glyphosate herbicide and urea fertilizer at a dose of 600 grams, while the lowest treatment was found in the control

Authors: Bawden David , Calvert Andrew , Robinson Lyn , Urquhart Christine , Bray Colin , Amosford John
Published: December 2018

This paper reports an approach to assessing the nature of the impact and benefit of library services, based on the concepts introduced in Urquhart's Value Project for healthcare information services. Two studies are described and compared. A project in the City of London public library service examined the benefits obtained from specific information requests. A project in several public library services in South West England examined the value obtained from the borrowing and reading of books, linking this with categories of learning objectives. These studies showed the promise, and also the difficulties, of adapting existing impact frameworks to understand the nature of the impact and value of library services

The Plagiarism Advisory Service
Authors: Duggan Fiona
Published: December 2018

The issue of plagiarism in education has existed for many years, however, advances in technology resulting in easy access to a multitude of information sources has reduced the effort required to incorporate the work of others into an essay or report. A Plagiarism Advisory Service has been established to provide advice and guidance on all aspects of plagiarism prevention and detection. This article presents the background to the Advisory Service and the associated electronic Plagiarism Detection Service. The nature and operation of the detection software is such that it should always be viewed as an additional element of any plagiarism prevention strategy. Future plans for the Advisory Service include the development of tools aimed at improving students referencing and citation practice and encouraging academics to audit their own assessment practice.
Collecting case studies / exemplars of good practice to enrich The National Information Literacy Framework (Scotland)
Authors: Irving Christine Margaret
Published: December 2018

This paper discusses the challenges, process and reasons for collecting case studies / exemplars of good practice from practitioners to enrich The National Information Literacy Framework (Scotland). The lessons learned show that there is a tendency for people to think they are not doing anything special and therefore do not respond to emails for exemplars of good practice. They are however once contacted happy to share their practice. It is therefore essential to use networks of contacts, leave plenty of time to talk, visit and work with people on submitting their work as a case study / exemplar. Sharing practice also contributes to professional development both for the individual and their community and to the field of research.

Background information is provided on the national framework, the project funding, the project partners and the range of examples collected for different sectors. Plus use of templates and Web 2 tools.

Authors: Green Andrew
Published: December 2018

Staff appraisal was an American invention that emerged at the time of the Second World War. It only came to general notice two years later with the publication of the twenty-third report of 'Committee A' of the University Authorities' Panel (UAP) and the Association of University Teachers (AUT). Only one major study of the functioning of the universities' appraisal system has been published (3), and very little has been written on the experience of libraries(4). The purpose of this study was to shed light on the impact of appraisal on the 'old'university libraries and their staffs,s and to try to assess its benefits and disbenefits.

Beyond the lens to the new disability exceptions: additional needs and authorised bodies
Authors: MacMullen Ruth
Published: December 2018

The changes to the Copyright and Rights in Performances (Disability) Regulations 2014 have been the most significant changes to copyright disability exceptions for twelve years. The legislative changes bring long-awaited updates to this area of copyright law, but practical encumbrances such as reporting, TPM restrictions, and cross-border exchange of files threaten to undermine the positives. This article examines the changes and their practical applications, comparing what the law allowed previously to what it now permits, and how this intersects with licensing schemes such as the CLA Licence. It looks at the responsibilities of rightsholders and of ‘authorised bodies’ who can adapt works for users with disabilities. Finally, this article will summarise current international legislative issues such as the ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty.

Assessing the organisational climate for creativity in a UK Public Library Service: a case study
Authors: Coveney Beatrice Coveney Huguette
Published: December 2018

The study aims to investigate for the first time library staff's individual perceptions of their work environment with regard to creativity. It uses the conceptual model designed by Amabile et al. (1996) as a framework in order to establish to what extent the internal climate factors that are conducive or deterrent to creativity are identified by library staff in one UK Public Library service. This research is based on a case study and can constitute a benchmark for other library services. The ability to develop a culture that nurtures creativity is crucial and does not occur spontaneously: library managers need to take responsibility to establish the right work environment as well as to incorporate an innovation strategy for the new ideas to be implemented into value-added services for the library users.

U ovom radu se postavlja sociološki problem religijskog opredjeljenja u odnosu na političku korektnost radi postizanja razumijevanja postmodernog doba prema religiji. Historijski se u radu uvažavaju problemi totalitarizma i sklonost religije da padne u totalitarni društveni koncept, izgubivši tako svoju eshatološku i duhovnu bit i tako bude antipod političkoga, kao što je bilo slučajeva u povijesti moderne. Pokušavajući prikazati različite načine na koje se religija proučavala, te se i danas proučava, dajemo prednost razumijevanju i analizi političke korektnosti prema religijskom opredjeljenju koliko je to potrebno unutar fenomenologijsko-hermeneutičkog kruga religijskog vidika. Bit te analize kritički produbljuje religijski (i svaki drugi društveni) fenomen i ne dopušta da se on svodi jedino na imanentnu sociološku razinu prema sustavu religije i posebno sustavu politike koji, usprkos političkoj korektnosti »posmoderne politike«, ima imanentnu i tako ograničenu viziju. Pojmovni instrumentarij totalitarizma u ovom radu prvenstveno analiziramo referirajući se na autore koji sociološki i filozofski analiziraju probleme moderne i postmoderne, posebno odnos religije i političke korektnosti u kontekstu »neo-totalitarizma«. Tako se u radu analizira sociološki put k »otvorenosti« postmodernoga u kontekstu društvenih teoretičara »razumijevajuće sociologije« Maxa Webera, najranijih članova čikaškog sociološkog odjela, Thomasa Williama, postmoderne Jeana-Françoisa Lyotarda, Frankfurtske škole kritičke teorije, Thedora Adorna, Maxa Horkheimera i Jürgena Habermasa.
СРЕДСТВА ВЫРАЖЕНИЯ ФУНКЦИОНАЛЬНО-СЕМАНТИЧЕСКОЙ КАТЕГОРИИ КОЛИЧЕСТВЕННОСТИ В ЯКУТСКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ: АФФИКСЫ// Humanitarian and Socio-Economic Sciences Journal/ OEAPS Inc., Berlin, Germany, pp. 42-45

Данная статья посвящена исследованию морфологических средств выражения функционально-семантической категории количественности в якутском языке. Объектом исследования являются словоформирующие форманты, а именно аффиксы имен существительных, передающие значение множественности. Морфологическими формами выражения множественности, двойственности и собирательности в современном якутском языке являются не только аффиксы -лар и -т, но и аффикс обладания -лаах; падежные формы -лары, -лыын, которые параллельно могут быть показателями любых других грамматических категорий. В функционально-семантическом аспекте существительные с данными формантами обозначают неопределенное большое количество предметов (множественность, собирательность/совокупность, обилие, обобщенность чего-либо), также в некоторых моментах и определенное количество предметов как двойственность, тем самым выражая функционально-семантическое понятие количественности. MEANS OF EXPRESSING THE FUNCTIONAL-SEMANTIC CATEGORY OF QUANTITYIN THE YAKUT LANGUAGE: AFFIXESIVANOVA I. B. ABSTRACTThis article is devoted to the study of the morphological means of expression of the functional-semantic category of quantitativeness in the Yakut language. The object of the research is word-forming formants, namely affixes of nouns that convey the meaning of plurality.The morphological forms of expression of multiplicity, duality and collectiveness in the modern Yakut language are not only all known affixes ла lar and -t, but also the affix of possession ла laah; case forms - lary, - lyn, which in parallel can be indicators of any other grammatical categories. In the functional-semantic aspect, nouns with these formants denote an indefinite large number of objects (plurality, collectiveness / totality, abundance, generalization of something), also in some moments and a certain number of objects as duality, thereby expressing the functional-semantic concept of quantitative.

Foraging distribution of a tropical seabird supports Ashmole’s hypothesis of population regulation
Authors: Oppel Steffen
Published: December 2018

Many animals reproduce in large aggregations, which can vary in size from dozens to millions of individuals across species, time and space. The size of breeding colonies is a complex trade-off between multiple costs and benefits to an individual’s fitness, but the mechanisms by which colony size affects fitness are still poorly understood. One important cost of breeding in a large colony is the spatial constraint in resource use due to the need to regularly return to a central location. Large aggregations, like seabird breeding colonies, may therefore deplete food resources near the colony, forcing individuals to travel farther to find food, which may ultimately limit their reproductive output and population size. This hypothesis, proposed in 1963 by Ashmole for tropical oceanic islands, has so far not been tested at tropical seabird colonies, where food availability is less predictable than in colder waters. We compare the foraging distribution of a common tropical seabird, the masked booby Sula dactylatra, breeding on two islands in the South Atlantic that differ in the size of the breeding seabird community by 2 orders of magnitude, but are surrounded by similar oligotrophic waters. Foraging trips from the island with the smaller colony were on average 221 km (61 %) and 18.0 h (75 %) shorter because birds from the smaller colony rarely spent the night at sea and foraged on average 64 km (46 %) closer to the colony. Energy expenditure was significantly lower, and nest survival higher (47 vs. 37 %, n = 371) on the island with the smaller colony. These results are fully consistent with the predictions from Ashmole’s hypothesis and indicate that competition for food around tropical oceanic seabird colonies may indeed be a limiting factor for populations. Identifying important feeding areas for seabirds based on their foraging range may need to account for colony size of both the target and potential competitor species.
Modeling and Simulation of 115.2 kWp Grid-Connected Solar PV System using PVSYST

Published: December 2018

The renewable sources such as solar, wind, biomass, etc. are often used for electricity generation for their availability, no green-house gas emission and solar photovoltaic is major among them. Many On-Grid PV systems are being installed around the globe nowadays to reduce electricity dependency on a single source and thus enhance availability of energy sources. Kathmandu, Nepal receives sufficient sunshine with insolation around 4.5 to 5 kWh/m2/day, which justifies essence of grid-connected solar PV installations. A 115.2 kWp solar plant has been installed at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Maharajgunj, Kathmandu to fulfill its own load demands and reduce the electricity bill of the building. The generated energy is not fed to the grid currently. The detailed On-Grid solar PV system is modeled, and performance parameters such as Performance Ratio, Specific Yield and Capacity Utilization Factor as defined by International Electro technical Commission are estimated using simulation techniques from PVSYST. The actual generation of the existing system within one year of installation is measured to be 35 MWh but simulation tool suggests that total 199 MWh can be generated using similar capacity panel, with system being totally on-grid type. Using PVSYST, the performance parameters are found to be performance ratio 83.5 % and Specific Yield 1728 kWh/kWp respectively. Thus, this paper intends to calculate performance parameters of existing system as well as performance of identical sized, totally on-grid system, simulated using PVSYST.
Human Resource Development Practices: Empirical Evidence from Nepal Rastra Bank

Published: December 2018

Human resource development (HRD) is the process of increasing knowledge, skills and capacities of employees. It is concerned with preparing employee to work effectively and efficiently in the organization. It is a complementary approach to other development strategies, particularly employment and reduction of inequalities. It also considers HRD as synonymous with human development, which encompasses education, training, health, nutrition, and fertility reduction. It ensures that organizations have adequate human resources with capabilities needed for achieving goals. This article has tried to explore the practices and relation between HRD and performance of Nepal Rastra Bank.

Published: December 2018

Objective: To evaluate the efficiencies of the standard α thalassemia screening regimen in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients and improve the efficiencies of this screening regimen using new cutoff values.Material and Methods: A screening process using the osmotic fragility (OF) test, the old cutoff values of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) at <80 fL and <22 pg, and the new cutoff values at <87 fL and <29 pg was performed in 300 HIV infected patients. After which, a genetic study was performed to detect common α thalassemia 1 genes deletions composed of Southeast Asian and THAI deletions and also for hemoglobin constant spring and hemoglobin Pakse mutations for α thalassemia 2 carriers. Screening efficiency was estimated by sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV).Results: Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the original regimen for thalassemia screening in HIV infected patients were at 50.0%, 95.0%, 39.0% and 96.8%, respectively, demonstrating a high false positivity in HIV-1 infected populations. Therefore, new cutoff values for MCV and MCH were proposed at <87 fL and <29 pg, due to the highest value found in α thalassemia 1 carriers with HIV-1 infection. These new cutoff values showed higher sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV at 100.0 92.6%, 46.2%, and 100.0%, respectively, and thus enhanced thalassemia screening efficiency in HIV-1 infected patients.Conclusion: Incorporation of the OF test and the new cutoff values for MCV and MCH improve the efficiencies of α thalassemia 1 screening in HIV-1 infected patients. This helps reduce the cost of confirming positive test results in α thalassemia screening.
Reply to Hugo Slim
Authors: Dunn John
Published: December 2018

Responding to Hugo Slim’s critique, John Dunn defends
his notion of the “Epoch of Revolution.” The response advances
that this protracted epoch was defined by the unique way in which
the category of revolution itself defined key possibilities for collective
political, social, and economic transformation. In doing so,
Dunn argues, this category transformed the conditions of political
action across a large part of the world. Dunn classifies Slim’s cases
as instances of rebellion that, though significant and important, do
not share the teleological character of revolution.
In Praise of Democratic Ambivalence
Authors: Webb Adele
Published: December 2018

Public ambivalence towards democracy has come under increasing
scrutiny. It is a mood registered perhaps most clearly in the fact
populist figures, from Trump to Orbàn to Duterte, appear to carry strong
appeal despite the fact, or perhaps because of the fact, they pose a threat
to democratic institutions and processes of governance. Are ambivalent citizens
the grave threat to democracy they are often portrayed to be in media
and academic discourse on populism? In this article, I contend that citizens’
ambivalence about democracy is a more complex, spirited and volitional
idea than is acknowledged in the current discussion of populism. Drawing
on psychoanalysis and critical social thought, I embrace a conception of citizens’
ambivalence in a democracy as both immanent and desirable. I argue
ambivalence can be a form of participation in democracy that is crucial to
safeguarding its future.
Unambivalent about Ambivalence in the Politics of Mourning
Authors: Snyder Greta Fowler
Published: December 2018

What does a democratically-productive form of mourning
look like in America? David McIvor’s Mourning in America and Simon Stow’s
American Mourning argue that it entails the embrace of ambivalence about
self and other. Democratically-productive mourning pushes against the tendencies
toward idealization and demonization. Embracing ambivalence enables
us to move to more effective political engagement in the context of
both collaboration and conflict. It allows us to understand that the process
of mourning must be ongoing both to protect us from political excesses to
which we are prone and to push society toward justice.
