Authors: Iqbal Liaqat , Ullah Irfan , Shah Farooq
Published: December 2019

While applying Labov's model this study finds out the macro and micro features of the written text, i.e., The Bully by Roger Dean Kiser, an American fiction writer. Labov's model of narrative analysis has proven efficacy primarily in the exploration of the macro features. However, for the analysis of microfeatures, other elements of discourse analysis such as cohesive ties, discourse markers, substitutions, ellipses, contractions, exchanges, inversions, and some other attributes were used to explore the representative aspects of the writer's work. Macro analysis revealed that most of the different levels of Labov model, i.e., abstract, orientation, complicating actions, resolution, and evaluation were found in the story. Coda, which is the optional part of any story, remained absent. The findings establish that most stories adhere to the formulation identified by Labov. The analysis provides enough clues to establish the work as a typical way of American narration.

Published: December 2019

This research-based study investigated empirically the impact of agreeableness personality traits to workplace deviant behavior in employees working in different organizations. We collected data through cross-sectional method from 290 employees who can read and understand English. Previous studies conducted related to these constructs confirmed that questionnaires in English language are appropriate for data collection. Correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the data because it fulfills the purpose related to this research. The study found that agreeable personality trait is negatively related to workplace deviance or employees with agreeableness personality trait remain focused on their job in organization. Or employees who are low in agreeableness trait are likely to exhibit deviant work behavior at work-setting. The study suggested that organizations should consider personality traits while hiring new employees. This practice will reduce workplace deviant behavior in the work setting of organizations.

International Anarchic Structure in Nuclearizing South Asia: An Analysis (1974-98)
Authors: Khan Robina , Mustafa Ghulam , Imran Muhammad
Published: December 2019

This explanatory research aimed at analyzing the nuclearization of south Asia using the framework of 'third level of analysis' named 'international anarchic structure' by Kenneth Waltz. South Asia is the home to 1/3rd of the global population, out of which around 41% population lives under poverty line. Historical intra-state rivalries, personal political ambitions and the crucial geostrategic locality made the region extremely attractive for major powers since the de-colonialization of the sub-continent. The cold war antagonism offered extra space and shelter in acquiring nuclear capabilities to both India and Pakistan. India's first nuclear test in 1974, putting aside all the international nuclear proliferation efforts, provided legitimacy to Pakistan's nuclear designs. Moreover, the global powers once achieved their objectives in 1989, left the region on its own fate. Almost decade long pattern of confrontation-crisis-negotiations resulted in nuclear tests in 1998 by the two south Asian states while ignoring CTBT. Inclusion of nuclear weapons brought about unprecedented threats and the region became 'nuclear flash point.

Authors: Khan Arsalan Ahmad , Baig Saranjam , Hussain Abid
Published: December 2019

This research has two objectives. First, it explores the spending patterns of the households who receive monetary compensation for their land that government takes over for initiating national projects; in our case, it is about building the countrys largest dam. Second, it examines what we call the demonstration effects. Literature abounds with cases examining behaviors of internally displaced individuals while the opposite is true for the compensated displaced households. This is the backdrop, this research carried out a field survey to collect data for 192 households. The compensation received is divided into communal land compensation and private land compensation. In line with arguments with the Keynesian consumption function that provides the theoretical foundation to our empirical work, findings suggest a positive and significant correlation between spending patterns and private land compensation while the communal compensation appears to be insignificant. Education and one out of two demonstration effects have positive influence on spending behaviors.

Hamlet and Pluralism: A Postmodernist Metaphor
Authors: Jajja Muhammad Ayub
Published: December 2019

The present study means to investigate Hamlet in the light of postmodernist-Deconstructive theoretical framework. The play seems to reinforce the overarching dominant patriarchal meta-narrative, with supposed unitary voice and unified identities. The current reading means to show that the play is a metaphor of postmodernism with pluralistic subjectivities, multiple alternative micronarrative voices. It manifests the postmodernist notion of subjective, personal and local truth, against the idea of universal truth and reality. Its major features are self-difference, undecidability, and uncertainty. The regimes of truth in the form of dominant ideology are challenged, deconstructed and undermined, creating a zone of the postmodern condition of reality and truth as the effect of power and rhetoric. The postmodern condition does not push for the replacement of one totality with another. It creates a third space of pluralism, where all the voices are disjoined in a zone of the difference without hierarchy.

Authors: Manzoor Humera , Khushnood Muhammad , Khan Rao Aamir
Published: December 2019

This study explores the purpose and role of public board meetings in the British National Health Service as an aftermath of public sector reforms. It deviates from the mainstream methodologies to study boards in action as it employs an ethnographic approach. Data has been collected through participant observation, in-depth semi-structured interviews from eighteen board members and members of the public, and documents in the form of board agenda and meeting minutes. Findings reveal that the purpose of the public board meetings is to manage their public image and to protect their reputation as rational actors and serve as a reporting function that excludes the public from active participation. Hence, this study asserts that public board meetings serve as a formal ritualized practice that performs board meetings. This study has practical implications as similar reforms have been introduced in other public organizations.

Abstract: The use of glass material should consider the comfort of space in the building. Field of glass is needed as natural lighting and visual facilities between the occupants and the surrounding environment. Its function as natural lighting is often accompanied by an increase in temperature in buildings, considering that Indonesia is a tropical country. Building temperatures that increase due to incoming sunlight can cause discomfort to building occupants. Such conditions make building occupants use air conditioner (AC). The use of air conditioners can increase the value of building energy consumption. For this reason, research on the value of heat transfer in buildings or the value of OTTV (Overall Thermal Transfer Value). OTTV value calculation is done by manual calculation. Bandar Lampung City lecture building at the Sumatra Institute of Technology was chosen as the object of this study. From the results of the study found that the value of heat transfer of a building or OTTV (Overall Thermal Transfer Value) is influenced by the factor of the ratio of the window area to the facade or WWR (Window Wall Ratio) and the shading factor (Shading Coefficient).(Keywords: Keyword: energy consumption, building energy, glass. Abstract: Penggunaan material kaca semestinya mempertimbangkan kenyamanan ruang dalam bangunan. Bidang kaca diperlukan sebagai pencahayaan alami dan sarana visual antara penghuni dan lingkungan sekitar. Fungsinya sebagai pencahayaan alami seringkali disertai dengan peningkatan temperatur pada bangunan, mengingat Indonesia merupakan negara yang beriklim tropis. Temperatur bangunan yang meningkat akibat dari radiasi sinar matahari yang masuk dapat menyebabkan ketidaknyamanan bagi penghuni bangunan. Kondisi seperti itu membuat penghuni bangunan menggunakan air conditioner (AC). Penggunaan air conditioner tersebut dapat meningkatkan nilai konsumsi energi bangunan. Untuk  itu dilakukan penelitian mengenai nilai perpindahan panas dalam bangunan atau nilai OTTV (Overall Thermal Transfer Value). Penghitungan nilai OTTV dilakukan dengan penghitungan manual. Gedung kuliah Kota Bandar Lampung di Institut Teknologi Sumatera di pilih sebagai objek dalam penelitian ini. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa nilai perpindahan panas suatu bangunan atau OTTV (Overall Thermal Transfer Value) dipengaruhi oleh faktor nilai perbandingan luas jendela terhadap bidang fasad atau WWR (Window Wall Ratio) dan faktor pembayangan (Shading Coefficient).Kata kunci : konsumsi energi, energi bangunan, kaca.

Reducing cross-wave variability in survey measures of household wealth
Authors: Hurd Michael D. , Meijer Erik , Moldoff Michael , Rohwedder Susann
Published: December 2019

Survey measures of household wealth often incorporate measurement error. The resulting excess variability in the first difference in wealth makes meaningful statistical inference difficult on changes in household-level wealth. We study the effects of two methods intended to reduce this problem: Asset verification confronts respondents with large discrepancies between wealth reports from the current wave and from the previous wave. Cross-wave imputation uses adjacent wave information in the imputation procedures for missing data. In the U.S. Health and Retirement Study, the corrections from asset verification substantially reduced wave-to-wave changes in wealth. The cross-wave imputations also reduced variation, but to a lesser extent.

Heart attack is one of the most critical heart disease in the world and affects human life very badly. In heart attack, the heart is unable to push the required amount of blood to other parts of the body. Accurate and on time diagnosis of heart attack is important for heart failure prevention and treatment. The diagnosis of such condition through traditional medical history has been considered as not reliable in many aspects. To classify the healthy people and people with heart attack causes and related problems, noninvasive-based methods such as machine learning are reliable and efficient. In the proposed study, we developed a machine-learning-based diagnosis system for heart attack prediction by using heart disease dataset. We used popular machine learning algorithms for performance evaluation metrics such as classification accuracy, sensitivity and correlation coefficient. The proposed system can easily predict and classify people with heart attack possibilities from healthy people.

O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar fatores sociodemográficos e laboratoriais dos pacientes infectados pelo HIV em uso de terapia antirretroviral (TARV) associados ao Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal (IDHM). O estudo envolveu 4.900 pacientes de 116 municípios do Paraná, atendidos no período de 2012 a 2015. Os pacientes foram divididos em três grupos de acordo com o tamanho e o IDHM do município de residência. Cidades de pequeno porte/IDHM médio apresentaram taxas mais elevadas de mulheres, indivíduos mais jovens e baixa escolaridade, quando comparadas com as cidades de grande porte/IDHM alto. As taxas totais de resposta imunológica, virológica e completa à TARV foram de 71,9%, 68,2% e 57,1%, respectivamente, com melhores resultados para o grupo vivendo em municípios de grande porte/IDHM alto. Apesar dessas diferenças, as respostas imunológica e virológica foram semelhantes entre os grupos, sugerindo que o grau de desenvolvimento do município não está associado com a efetividade da terapia para o HIV-1.
