Published: July 2018

This article discusses the development paradigm that focuses on human or people centered development. Many development paradigms have been applied in many developing countries, but the results have not been satisfactory. During this time the various paradigms emphasize economic growth, equity of development, and others, but the distortion of development appears everywhere. For example, development by emphasizes economic-growth was followed by massive environmental damage. In addition, poverty is still a portrait of people in developing countries, although the country is experiencing high economic growth. In realizing a prosperous society free of poverty, a new strategy or development paradigm that emphasizes its human factors are needed. In this case, this paradigm discusses the importance of the human element as the 'core' of development itself. If human beings are capable, have sufficient knowledge, adequate skills by themselves poverty will be reduced. Therefore, this paradigm more implies that is a 'capacity building ' of human beings so that it can become the subject of development and not just as an object of development themselves. Capacity building can be achieved through social development that emphasizes elements of education, knowledge, and skills so that they can try or do entrepreneurship and open their own job opportunities. Many cases, various development paradigms that emphasize economic growth are not able to absorb the available labor so that many are unemployed. With the ability of human or people, they have will be able to open their own business and do not depend on the provision of employment from the government. In the end they are able to alleviate self-poverty.

The aim of our study was to investigate whether social categorization would influence one’s decision to help others. The researchers hypothesized that the participants would be more likely to help if the victim is perceived as their in-groups. We performed a conceptual replication of Levine, et al. (2002) study by conducting a post-test only control group design to 46 Javanese female participants and randomly assigned them to control and experiment group. Participants in each group were asked to watch a robbery CCTV footage – a control group footage showed a Javanese female as a victim (N=23, M=29.6, SD=2.91), while participants in treatment group watched a footage whom the victim was a Chinese female (N=23, M=25.13, SD=5.6). After watching the video, participants filled out a questionnaire which asked; their subjective assessment of the dangerousness of the incident, their possible emotional responses, and their likelihood to interfere in the robbery incident. Bayesian Independent T-test was performed using JASP to test the hypothesis, and the posterior probability of the data provided a very strong support to the hypothesis (BF10=43.146). Our findings, therefore, showed that the hypothesis is 43 times more likely to be true compared to null hypothesis (no effect). Limitations, implications and future directions of our study are later discussed.
Separating memoranda in depth increases visual working memory performance
Authors: Chunharas Chaipat , Rademaker Rosanne L. , Sprague Thomas C , Brady Timothy F. , Serences John
Published: July 2018

Visual working memory is the mechanism supporting the continued maintenance of information after sensory inputs are removed. Although the capacity of visual working memory is limited, memoranda that are spaced farther apart on a 2D display are easier to remember, potentially because neural representations are more distinct within retinotopically-organized areas of visual cortex during memory encoding, maintenance, and/or retrieval. The impact of spatial separability in depth on memory is less clear, even though depth information is essential to guide interactions with objects in the environment. On one account, separating memoranda in depth may facilitate performance if interference between items is reduced. However, depth information must be inferred indirectly from the 2D retinal image, and less is known about how visual cortex represents depth. Thus, an alternative possibility is that separation in depth does not attenuate between-item interference; separation in depth may even impair performance, as attention must be distributed across a larger volume of 3D space. We tested these alternatives using a stereo display while participants remembered the colors of stimuli presented either near or far in the 2D plane or in depth. Increasing separation in-plane and in depth both enhanced performance. Furthermore, participants who were better able to utilize stereo depth cues showed larger benefits when memoranda were separated in depth, particularly for large memory arrays. The observation that spatial separation in the inferred 3D structure of the environment improves memory performance, as is the case in 2D environments, suggests that separating memoranda in depth might reduce neural competition by utilizing cortically separable resources.

How can the consequences of self-enhancement (SE) be tested empirically? Traditional two-step approaches for investigating SE effects have been criticized for providing systematically biased results. Recently, we suggested condition-based regression analysis (CRA) as an approach that enables users to test SE effects while overcoming the shortcomings of previous methods. Krueger et al. (2017) reiterated the problems of previous two-step approaches and criticized the extent to which CRA could solve these problems. However, their critique was based on a misrepresentation of our approach: Whereas a key element of CRA is the requirement that the coefficients of a multiple regression model must meet two conditions, Krueger et al.’s argumentation referred to the test of only a single condition. As a consequence, their reasoning does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the validity of our approach. In this paper, we clarify these misunderstandings and explain why CRA is a valid approach for investigating the consequences of SE.Humberg, S., Dufner, M., Schönbrodt, F.

Plagiarism: Types, Causes and How to Avoid This Worldwide Problem
Authors: Roka Yam Bahadur
Published: July 2018

Publication in medical journals are important to help humans towards a healthier future and to disseminate knowledge regarding the pros and cons of any disease, treatment, drugs, research or other medical issues.There are many ways in which misconduct in medical research can be defined and the presence of thousands of journals worldwide and ease of access of these articles across the globe has not led to any common name to define this problem. There are many reasons for plagiarism starting from individual and not limiting to institutions, journals, textbooks, research funding agencies or international trials. Previously the only method to detect plagiarism was the ability/experience of the editor or reviewer to detect copies from the original. Newer and more sophisticated computer methods that analyze lexical, syntactic, and semantic features, tracking of paraphrasing, citation based detection, analyzing the graphics, cross language text borrowing by non-English speakers and copying of references will aid to detect plagiarism. Retraction of the article, blacklisting of the author with or without institution and expulsion from the institute, criminal charges, apology letter are some of the penalties for plagiarism.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 14, Number 3, 2017, page: 2-6

Published: July 2018

The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced surgical safety checklist (SSC) as a part of Second Global Patient Safety Challenge: Safe Surgery Saves Lives to address the safety of surgical care. Althoughfound to be benefi cial for general surgical patient, we introduced certain modification to suit neurosurgical patients and hereby present our experience with the modified checklist.We introduced the modified SSC in July 2012 for neurosurgical purpose after we identified minor but common errors in carefully audited 100 patients in our operating theatre. Modification included checklists in pre procedure room, during sign in enquiring for pulse oximeter (for local anesthetic procedures) and lastly during sign out an elaborated list of items to guarantee safe transfer of the patients. Nurses and doctors were trained and SSC was methodically administered.Outcome as number of complications was evaluated and graded according to no harm, low harm, moderated harm, severe harm and death. During last 5 years (July 2012 to June 2017), 1310 patients undergoing surgical procedures in neurosurgical theatre at KMCTH were studied. Modified SSC was used in both routine (50.5%) and emergency cases (49.5%), of which compliance was 80% and 55% respectively. Poor compliance was due to ignorance of its use, emergency nature of procedure, change of staff. Completeness of mSSC was found in 70% cases with most left out part of mSSC was during signing out (i.e during transfer of patients). Use of mSSC identified many common but minor negligent acts on part of doctors, nurses and OR technicians which could be rectified in time and hence avoided any major mishaps. Age of the patients ranged from newborn to 98 year old. There were no major mishaps including death on table events. Despite confirming during mSSC checklist, machine failure occurred in 10 cases (0.8%) which were of low harm category. The total time taken for performing and filling the checklist took roughly 7 minutes.We modified WHO surgical safety checklist to include post operative transfer out to recovery room and used it in both routine and emergency procedures. This has helped us to avoid major mishaps during and after the neurosurgical procedures. We recommend stringent use of SSC in all neurosurgical centre and advise suitable local modifications according to prevailing conditions for special procedures or locations.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 14, Number 3, 2017, page: 7-12

Head injury is a leading cause of death in young age group. Extra Dural hematoma, a complication of head injury, is often fatal if not treated in time. The surgical outcome of EDH is dependent upon many variables including preoperative GCS, time between injury and surgery, associated intracranial injuries, anisocoria and hematoma volume. In order to reduce the mortality near to nil, it is essential to determine the magnitude of effect of affecting factors on surgical outcome which will also help us in preoperative counseling and prioritizing the operative candidates. This study was conducted determine the factors affecting surgical outcome of traumatic intracranial extradural Hematoma in Punjab Institute of Neurosciences/ Lahore general hospital, Lahore. It was a Cross sectional study conducted for 3 years from 28th May 2012 to 28th May 2015.The study was conducted on the patients admitted through emergency and diagnosed as Extramural hematoma. These patients underwent surgical evacuation of EDH on emergent basis and outcome was measured by Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) after 48 hours of surgery. Using GOS, good surgical outcome was observed in 80.9% (157 out of 194) patients. Preoperative GCS, anisocoria, hematoma volume, associated intracranial injuries and time between injury and surgery were the factors affecting the outcome significantly (p value=0.000) while age and sex of the patient had no significant effect. In Conclusion, good surgical outcome is associated with patients with solitary Extra Dural Hematoma of volume less than 60 ml, preoperative GCS more than 8, absence of anisocoria and undergoing surgical evacuation within 6 hours of injury. Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 14, Number 3, 2017, Page: 13-18

Published: July 2018

Objective: To evaluate the result of microsurgical excision of vestibular schwannoma by retrosigmoid approach and to correlate the facial nerve outcome with the tumor size.Methods: Retrospective analysis of 84 patients with cerebello-pontine angle lesions (57 vestibular schwannomas) operated at National Institute of Neurological and Allied Sciences, Nepal, from Baisakh 2066 to Chaitra 2073 (eight years). Facial nerve outcomes as per the House and Brackmann grading at six months follow-up were recorded and correlated with tumor size.Result: The mean tumor size was 4.32 ± 1.23 cms and 48 (84.2%) of the patients had tumor size more than 3 cms. Patients presented late with papilloedema documented in 42.1% and preoperative ventriculoperitoneal shunting required in 31.57% patients. Of the patients whose facial nerve functions could be followed up, all patients with tumors < 3cm diameter had good House and Brackmann facial nerve outcome (grade I to III). Larger tumors had poorer facial nerve outcomes; however statistical significance could not be reached. (Fischer Exact test, p-value: 0.077). There were two mortalities (3.5%), one following cavity rebleed and one following malignant brain swelling.Conclusion: Retrosigmoid approach is a versatile surgical corridor to excise large vestibular schwannomas with minimal complications and larger tumors have poorer facial nerve outcomes. Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 14, Number 3, 2017, Page: 19-25

Post Traumatic Chronic Encapsulated Intracerebral Hematoma in a Child: Case Report and Brief Review of Literature
Authors: Roka Yam Bahadur , Karki Mohan
Published: July 2018

Chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma (CE-ICH) is an uncommon pathology that presents with headache, seizure, focal neurological deficits, or as a tumor. Trauma as a cause for CE-ICH is even rare and we believe this is the first case report as “trauma causing chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma “search in PubMed did not reveal any results. Repeated micro-hemorrhages in the CM or AVM are supposed to cause this lesion which progress from an earlier encapsulated phase to a thick capsulated stage with edema and clinical symptoms. CT or MRI is the diagnostic modality and it mimics, tumor, AVM, CM, angiomableed, cerebral abscess, metastatic mass or neurocysticercosis. Burr hole, mini-craniotomy, craniotomy, CT guided stereotactic aspiration or endoscopic excision are some options with equally good results. The present case with history of trauma was managed successfully with craniotomy with no recurrence for past one year. Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 14, Number 3, 2017, page: 46-48

ABSTRACT

Students have not realized the importance of mathematical connection. They think each mathematics concept is independent and not related to each other. There are more than 50% of students who find it difficult to solve contextual problems and more than 40% of students tend to be lazy to discuss in a group. This study aims to improve the ability of mathematical connections and responsibilities of students on composition and invers of function. Subjects in this study were students of XI.IPA.7 SMA Negeri 11 Semarang. This action research is implemented in two cycles. Each cycle consists of two meetings. The results show that the percentage of students responsibility rose from 64,71% to 79,41%, the average score on the test of the mathematical connection ability increased to 85.68, and the percentage of mastery of mathematical connections increased to 76,47%. Thus, Problem Based Learning can enhanche the responsibility and ability of mathematical connections of students. This learning model can be more optimal with good classroom management.
