Published: January 2019

Theory and research have suggested that recurrent daily experiences can affect personality traits. The present study examined the longitudinal relation between individual differences in positive daily experiences and the Big Five personality traits. Data came from Dutch mothers (N = 483; M age = 44 years at T1) who completed up to 6 yearly personality questionnaires and 15 between-year assessment bursts, lasting 5 consecutive days each. Using multilevel structural equation modeling, we found that individual differences in daily experiences of positive affect and perceived relationship support/affection with partners and children were positively associated with subsequent rank-order changes in all Big Five personality traits. In contrast, we found little evidence that personality traits were associated with rank-order changes in daily experiences, which may be due to the very high rank-order stability of positive affect and relationship support. Furthermore, positive daily experiences demonstrated incremental validity in predicting rank-order changes in trait agreeableness, emotional stability, and openness, over and above daily negative affect and relationship conflict. The results suggest that positive affective and interpersonal daily experiences contribute to positive personality trait changes middle adulthood. We discuss these results in the context of contemporary theories of personality trait development.
Screening for Student Subjective Wellbeing: An Analog Evaluation of Broad and Targeted Models
Authors: Renshaw Tyler L , Chenier Jeff
Published: January 2019

This brief report presents a secondary analysis of responses to the Student Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (SSWQ) with a sample of urban middle-schoolers. Relative classification validity evidence was evaluated for two screening models derived from responses to the SSWQ: one based on the Overall Wellbeing Scale (OWS) and the other based solely on the Academic Efficacy Subscale (AES). Results from Bayesian t-tests, using several school-reported outcomes as dependent variables, indicated evidence in favor of classification validity for both the OWS and AES screening models. Yet findings also show that the evidence for the AES model was stronger than that for the OWS model. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Poor neighborhood conditions are associated with lower levels of physical activity in older age, but socio-ecological models put forth that physical activity is dependent on both environmental and individual factors. Older adults’ abilities to overcome environmental physical activity barriers may partially rely on cognitive resources. However, evidence on the moderating role of these cognitive resources in environmental barrier and physical activity behavior associations is still lacking. We analyzed cross-national and longitudinal data on 28,876 adults aged 50 to 96 years in SHARE survey. Lack of access to local services and neighborhood nuisances were used as indicators of poor neighborhood conditions. Delayed recall, verbal fluency, and time orientation were used as indicators of cognitive resources. Confounder-adjusted linear mixed models were conducted to test associations between neighborhood conditions and self-reported physical activity, as well as the moderating role of the cognitive resources. We found that poor neighborhood conditions, especially low access to local services, were associated with less frequent engagement in physical activity and with a steeper decline of engagement in physical activity across aging. Moreover, cognitive resources robustly reduced the adverse influence of poor neighborhood conditions on physical activity. These findings suggest that cognitive resources can temper the detrimental effect of poor neighborhood conditions on physical activity. Public policies should target both individual and environmental factors to tackle the current pandemic of physical inactivity more comprehensively.

Published: January 2019

The armyworm, Mythimna separata Walker is the potential insect pest of maize, causes a severe damage on the vegetative and reproductive stages of that plant. Insecticides are the common practices to manage the broad categories of the pest in a maize field. Further, these practices have been linked to farmers health, biodiversity loss and declining of predatory arthropods. However, pest management by adopting a tool of integrated pest management is one potential option to reduce the pesticide in maize fields. Field experiments were conducted in winter maize with the aim of evaluating the potential bio-rational pesticides to manage the armyworm. The studies were conducted for two consecutive years in 2015/16 and 2016/17 at Rampur, Chitwan. Treatments were: Metarrhizium anisopliae (0.2ml/lit water), Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV) ( 2.5gm/lit water), Spinosad 45% SC (0.25ml/liter of water), Multineem (Azadriachta indica) (2 .0 ml/ liter water), Furadan 3G (3-4g/ Whorl application), Lara (Chloropyriphos 50 EC + Cypermethrin 5 EC) (1.0 ml/liter of water), Magik (Imidacloprid 17.8% (0.5ml/liter of water) and Control. The experiments were completely randomized block design with three replicates. Spinosad treated plots demonstrated the lowest damage (0.884%) followed by Magik (1.27%) which was significantly lower (P< 0.05) than other treatments in 2015/2016. However, in 2016/2017, Spinosad treated plot also showed the significantly lowest damage (1.67%) followed by Lara plots (2.67%), both of these were significantly different (P< 0.05) to Metarhizium and control plots, but similar to the other treatments, but not significantly so. Maximum yield was recorded in spinosad treated plots (9.8 t/ha and 9.12 t/ha) followed by Lara treated plots (9.17t/ha and 8.69t/ha) and were lowest in control plots (4.55 t/ha and 7.18 t/ha) for both years. Hence, Spinosad (soil actinomycete bacterium, Saccharopolyspora spinose ) has the potentiality to maximize the maize yield and also potentially to the reduce the pesticide consumption and incurred cost caused by the pesticide use. Such a safe and eco-friendly insecticide has the potential to replace the synthetic pesticide and provide the benign environment to the natural predators and service providing units of multiple ecosystem services in maize agro-ecosystem.

Authors: Tyata R.B. , Subedi D.P. , Wong C.S.
Published: January 2019

In this study, an atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD) in air using 50Hz power supply was experimentally investigated by means of electrical characterization. The discharge has been generated in a specially designed hemispherical–plane electrode system. The main objective of the study was to identify the conditions to generate AC glow at atmospheric pressure air using 50 Hz power supply. The mode of discharge was characterized by observing the number of current pulses per half cycle in the current waveform of the discharge for different values of applied voltage for different electrode spacing. It was found that with 3mm gap and 18.75 kV of applied voltage, the current waveforms consist of a single pulse per half cycle indicating the formation of AC glow discharge. An attempt to study the effect of dielectric on the mode of the discharge was also made by using three types of materials namely Polycarbonate, Polyethylene and Glass as barrier between the electrodes.

The discharge was produced by passing argon gas at controlled f low rate of 1 lit/min, with dielectric barrier of glass between the electrodes. The inter -electrode spacing was varied from 1 mm to 3 mm. The electrical measurement of the discharge showed that there exists only one current pulse per half cycle in the current waveform indicating the formation of glow discharge. Power balance method was applied for the determinat ion of electron density. Our results showed that the electron density in the discharge is of the order of 1010 cm−3 with 26 kHz frequency of high voltage power supply.
Development of "pre-mix method" for mixing steel fiber reinforced concrete with new mixing technology
Authors: Gyawali Tek Raj
Published: January 2019

When mixing Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) in conventional mixers, there is limitation of fiber percentage (maximum up to 2.5%). And, when mixing in newly developed Energy Saving Gravity (ESG) continuous mixer with conventional mixing method, good quality of SFRC could not be obtained due to blockage problem even for low percentage of fibers when mixing continuously. In order to overcome both of above mentioned problem, new mixing method called “Pre-mix Method” is developed. This paper outlines the mechanism of new mixing technology and application of pre-mix method for mixing SFRC. It is verified that the use of this method has prevailed to make possible of SFRC with increase of fiber percentage up to 4% in new continuous mixer.

Published: January 2019

A detailed geological investigation was carried out to assess the distribution of minerals and their geological control in Bandipur-Gondrang area of Tanahu district, a part of Lesser Himalaya in central Nepal. The area is found rich in both metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits. The main metallic minerals found are iron in Phalamdada and Labdi Khola, copper in Bhut Khola and poly-metallic deposits including suspected gold in Bhangeri Khola and Jaubari Khola-Bar Khola sections. A large deposit of inorganic carbon is found around the Gondrang-Watak area. Similarly, a good quality of green marble (metabasite) is found as decorative stone in Bagar Khola area and good quality of roofing stone in Bandipur area. In addition to these economic deposits other several sub economic to non-economic mineral are also located in the geological map of the area. Categorization of these mineral deposits is based on the probable reserve and laboratory analysis of related samples. Geological control of mineral deposits is considered to be the stratigraphic, structural, metamorphic and hydrothermal. Iron mineralization of the area is found stratigraphical control, copper deposits by magmatism of basic rocks (amphibolites), and poly-metallic deposits are related to the hydrothermal processes.
The building features acquired from the indigenous technology contributing in the better performance during earthquake: a case study of Bhaktapur City
Authors: Gautam Dipendra
Published: January 2019

This paper compiles the indigenous technologies adopted in the Bhaktapur municipality, Nepal in the unreinforced masonry construction of traditional Newari houses constituting more than 90% buildings in Bhaktapur municipality and their significance during the earthquake. The building units adopted in this area are studied with respect to their performance during earthquake on the basis of seismic resistant design philosophy. The traditionally built non-engineered buildings have drawn the attention of disaster managers for many years; in this regard, the unreinforced masonry buildings (Newari houses) were assessed after the Sikkim-Nepal boarder earthquake of 2011.Still, the buildings constructed before the starting of engineering construction in Nepal are widely used for residential purpose at this culturally rich city and the traditional building construction technology which is the indigenous technology has been practiced for centuries too. The building features are analyzed with respect to their seismic performance and their contribution was analyzed as per the historical database; established practices and theories for earthquake resistant design (EQRD). The collected features and the analyses proved the features of the buildings to be sound during earthquake, though; the buildings were constructed with indigenous technology which nevertheless consults the EQRD within it. The indigenous technology at this city has been attached with the culture of the Newars for centuries.

Published: January 2019

Background: Regional anesthesia is being utilized as the preferred anesthetic technique for cesarean delivery worldwide. This study was performed to review cesarean delivery anesthetic practice in our institute which represents a tertiary care regional hospital.

Methods: Data was collected regarding the number of cesarean delivery performed during the period of six months from January 2017 to June 2017 at Western Regional Hospital. Number of elective versus emergency cesarean delivery, mode of anesthesia and the reason for general anesthesia and complications was recorded.

Results: The number of cesarean delivery was found to be 1174(26.41%) of total deliveries during the study period. Out of which, 64.82% were for emergency indication and 35.18% were elective cesarean delivery. Spinal anesthesia was utilized in 99.03% of elective cesarean section and 97.63% of emergency cesarean section. The percentage of cases performed under general anesthesia was 1.87%. Reasons for general anesthesia included inadequate subarachnoid block, fetal malpresentation, eclampsia and maternal comorbidities. Complications related to general anesthesia like failed intubation, airway difficulty related to general anesthesia and anesthesia related mortality was not encountered.

Conclusion: Spinal anesthesia is utilized widely and safely in obstetric practice at our hospital. Use of labour epidural analgesia should be introduced and encouraged in our setting to minimize the side effects of single shot spinal anesthesia and to avoid general anesthesia when indicated.

Congregating Aroundoblivion: Dissolving the Borders between Queerness and Faith through Theatre
Authors: Brower Jonathan D.
Published: January 2019

This article maps the personal journey of queerness and spiritual identity travelled by artist/producer Jonathan Brower through his semi-autobiographic play oblivion, which deals with the struggle to reconcile sexuality and faith after conversion therapy. Tracing the life of the play from its inspiration, development, and touring, Brower unpacks the complex negotiations he and his audiences navigated between the multiple seemingly incommensurate identity categories covered in the play; from the extreme discrimination queer individuals face in conservative Christian communities, to the difference in queer inclusion between Christian denominations, to the invisibility of queer Christians, to the deep rifts that cause hostility in the queer and theatre communities toward Christianity. Set amidst this volatile societal backdrop, oblivion toured around the country playing site-specifically on the altars of Christian spaces (both affirming and non-affirming). Its second act drew diverse public and congregational audiences into substantial conversation with each other and the creative team about the challenging themes in Act One. Reflecting on his own process of reconciliation toward a new version of faith offered to him through these conversations, Brower examines the success of oblivion’s multiple-act format: a space that creates relational possibilities between communities at odds.

Dalam rangka menghadapi era globalisasi saat ini dan dalam kondisi masyarakat yang sekarang sering ditemukan beberapa masalah yang menyebabkan perusahaan mengalami kegagalan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh ketidakmampuan beradaptasi dengan kemajuan teknologi maupun yang disebabkan oleh kurang baiknya hasil kerja dari sumber daya manusia yang ada pada perusahaan tersebut. Untuk dapat mengikuti segala perkembangan yang ada dan tercapainya tujuan  suatu perusahaan maka perlu adanya suatu dorongan dari perusahaan  agar sumber daya manusianya mampu bekerja dengan baik. Salah satu faktor pendorongnya  adalah dengan memberikan insentif kehadiran kepada karyawan.  Insentif  kehadiran harus bersifat progresif yang artinya sesuai dengan jenjang karier,  karena insentif sangat diperlukan untuk memacu kinerja para pegawai  sesuai dengan kemampuan masing masing.

Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dan verifikatif, yang bertujuan untuk mencatat, mengolah, menyajikan dan menginterpolasi data untuk memberikan gambaran yang nyata dan jelas mengenai perusahaan, dilanjutkan dengan pengujian hipotesis,selain itu juga menguji hipotesis penelitian melalui analisis data secara statistik, kemudian dianalisis berdasarkan teori yang telah dipelajari sehingga didapat suatu kesimpulan guna mencari jalan keluar yang dapat memecahkan pokok permasalahan yang dihadapi.

Berdasarkan hasil pengujian validitas pada tabel 4,16 diketahui seluruh butir pernyataan variabel turnover karyawan dan produktivitas kerja menunjukan nilai r hitung lebih besar dari r tabel (0,2521) dengan nilai terendah 0,397 dan tertinggi 0,698. Untuk menetapkan rumusan persamaan regresi sederhana pengaruh Insentif terhadap Kinerja Karyawan dilakukan analisis koefisien regresi. Hasilnya adalah : konstanta  regresi = 12,352, koefisien regresi variabel insentif ( X ) = 0,351. Koefisien r = 0,377 berarti variabel insentif memiliki hubungan yang erat dengan kinerja karyawan pada  bagian mekaniksedangkan R²(koefisien determinasi) sebesar 0,142 atau 14,2%. Ini berarti variabel Insentif dapat menjelaskan kinerja pada karyawan dengan kontribusi sebesar 14.2% sedangkan 85,8% sisanya dipengaruhi oleh varibel lain.

Pemberian insentif di bagian mekanik sangat membantu sebagai tambahan gaji yang diberikan setiap bulan kepada karyawan. Kinerja pada bagian mekanik di PT.Erlangga Aditya dikatakan bagus, ini dibuktikan dengan pernyataan proses kerja yang ditanggung sesuai dengan sasaran, sebanyak 44 orang atau 72.1% karyawan memiliki tanggung jawab terhadap perusahaan. Pengaruh Insentif dapat dilihat pada persamaan regresi sederhana yaitu Y=12,352 + 0,351X artinya insentif berpengaruh terhadap kinerja karyawan.

Suatu perusahaan yang ingin melaksanakan tugas dan fungsinya dengan baik, maka perusahaan tersebut akan berusaha untuk merubah para pegawainya agar mempunyai mutu serta kinerja yang baik, sehingga membuat para pegawainya lebih produktif dalam menjalankan tugas dan tanggung jawab mereka. Untuk memperoleh pegawai yang sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan, maka perlu adanya motivasi bagi karyawan. Untuk memotivasi karyawan, manajer harus mengetahui motif dan memotivasi yang diinginkan karyawan, baik kebutuhan yang disadari maupun kebutuhan yang tidak disadari, berbentuk materi atau non materi, kebutuhan fisik maupun rohani. Prestasi kerja adalah suatu hasil kerja yang dicapai seseorang dalam melaksanakan tugas–tugas yang dibebankan kepadanya didasarkan atas kecakapan, pengalaman, dan kesungguhan serta waktu.Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode Deskriptif. Deskriptif adalah metode yang berfungsi untuk mendiskripsikan atau memberi gambaran terhadap obyek yang diteliti melalui data sample atau populasi sebagaimana adanya, tanpa melakukan analisis dan membuat kesimpulan yang berlaku untuk umum.Pada metode deskriptif ini, akan dikemukan cara – cara penyajian data, dengan tabel biasa maupun distribusi frekuensi; grafik garis maupun batang; diagram lingkaran; pictogram; penjelasan kelompok melalui rentang dan simpangan baku.Dari hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa seluruh item pertanyaan menunjukkan hasil yang valid dimana semua nilai R kritis-nya berada di atas nilai titik kritis yaitu > 0.300. Sedangkan hasil uji reliabilitas pada variabel tersebut menunjukkan hasil yang reliabel dimana semua nilai R kritis-nya berada di atas nilai titik kritis yaitu > 0.600 dengan rincian : R kritis variable motivasi kerja sebesar 0.823 serta R kritis variable prestasi kerja sebesar 0.846. Dari hasil pengolahan SPSS diperoleh persamaan regresi linier berganda sebagai berikut : Y = 11,495 + 0,722X. Adapun berdasarkan hasil koefisien determinasinya diperoleh data variabel X (Motivasi Kerja) memiliki pengaruh terhadap variabel Y (Prestasi Kerja) sebesar 49,325%, sedangkan sisanya sebesar 50,675% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain yang tidak diamati.

Berdasarkan hasil analisis deskriptif data penelitian untuk variabel Motivasi Kerja, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa tanggapan responden tentang Motivasi Kerja termasuk dalam kategori “Rendah”. Begitu juga untuk variabel Prestasi Kerja, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa tanggapan responden tentang Prestasi Kerja termasuk dalam kategori “Rendah”. Secara keseluruhan pemaparan analisis perhitungan statistik pada uji korelasi, koefisien determinasi, dan uji hipotesis, dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa, secara statistik, pengaruh Motivasi Kerja telah terbukti mempunyai korelasi yang kuat dan signifikan terhadap Prestasi Kerja, dengan pengaruh sebesar 49,325%. Sedangkan sisa pengaruh sebesar 50,675% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain yang tidak diamati.
