Published: December 2020

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a bone disorder characterized by a reduction in bone density accompanied by increasing porosity and brittleness. It is one of the major public health problem globally and its prevalence is rapidly increasing particularly in women. Osteoporosis causes more than 8.9 million fractures annually, resulting in an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds. Therefore the objectives of the study was to assess the existing awareness and health belief of osteoporosis among middle aged women.
Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional research design was used on a sample of 328 middle aged women residing in Nagarjun Municipality, Kathmandu. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data. Data was collected after informed consent through face to face interview schedule using Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT) and Osteoporosis Health Beliefs Scale (OHBS). Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (Chi-Square test) were used for data analysis at 5% level of significance.
Results: The overall osteoporosis awareness and health beliefs mean scores were9.39 ± 2.93 and 146.18 ±11.58 respectively. Majority(60.0%) of the respondents were unaware of osteoporosis. Existing awareness of respondents was significantly associated with age (p<0.001and level of education (p<0.038). Based on the OHBS subscale score, the highest perception was on health motivation (22.73±2.81) and the lowest perception was on barriers to calcium intake (mean score 17.71±4.32).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is concluded that the majority of middle aged women were unaware about osteoporosis. Education and age of women was significantly associated with level of awareness.

The summit inspired this study and its major findings show that COVID-19 has necessitated drastic changes in the education system.
Objective: To explore new ways in which teachers can continue teaching the children using non-traditional means during the COVID-19 lockdown period and after; to assess the attitude of parents/guardians to the re-opening of schools after COVID-19 in terms of children’s safety; and examine the challenges posed by COVID-19 to children’s education during the lockdown period.
Methods: This research is based on an exploratory design given the immediacy, novelty and emergency associated with COVID-19. This study seeks to have a better understanding of the existing problems relating to children in their education during the lock down period. The design utilizes both primary and secondary data collection methods.
Results: The data of this study indicate that it is feasible to offer distance education to children in Zimbabwe despite the existence of COVID-19. Thestudy also indicates that changes to the education system are inevitable and the education system will never be the same after COVID-19.
Conclusion: The study concludes that COVID-19 has had a telling effect on education in Zimbabwe and the lasting changes will remain with the system even after the lockdown period.
Binary Logistic Model to Identify the Factors Associated with Households with Bank Accounts in Nepal
Authors: Shah Santosh Kumar 
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Banks play an important role in ensuringthe economicand social stability, and the sustainablegrowth of the economy. The savings and other accounts in financial institutions, including banks, finances, microfinances and cooperatives, enable people to execute important financial functions. Thus, households that have accounts in any of financial institutions can have access to various banking services.
Objective: The objective of the study is to identify the factors associated with households having bank accounts in Nepal.
Methods: The analysis is based on household data extracted from the dataset of Nepal Demographic and Health Survey, 2016. The dependent variable is dichotomous, as the households with bank accounts and without bank accounts in any formal financial channels. In order to identify the factors associated with households receiving financial services in Nepal, multiple logistic regression models were developed by examining the model adequacy test.
Results: The study finds that a total of 66.9% of the households had bank accounts. Several variables were found to be 1% of significance level. The predictive power of the model is found to be 31.2% and multicollinearity among the independent variables was absent. The Hosmer-Lemoshow goodness of fit test revealed that the data were poorly (p-value=0.056) fitted by the model. However, Osius-Rojek goodness of fit test (z=0.11; p-value=0.911), Stukel test (Z=0.683, p-value=0.494), likelihood ratio test (χ2=2770; p-value<0.0001) and area under receiver operating curve (79.8%) revealed that fitted model was good.
Conclusion: Multiple logistic regression model revealed that in mountainous and hilly regions, women-headed households have less chances of not having bank accounts compared to the Terai region and men-headed households. The chances of having a bank account in province-2 is even worse than in Karnali and other provinces. The odds of not having bank accounts gradually decreased with the increase in size of agricultural land, wealth index, increase in family size and the number of family members who have completed secondary education.
The Influence of Living and Working Abroad on the Identities of Researchers and Native Speaker Teachers
Authors: Włosowicz Teresa Maria 
Published: December 2020

The study investigates the influence of living and working abroad on the identities of researchers and native speaker teachers. Following Block (2009), Hall (2012), and Pavlenko and Blackledge (2004), identity is assumed here to be dynamic and multiple, where the different identities of a person can be more or less relevant in a given context (Hall, 2012, p. 33). Moreover, identities at the time of globalization tend to be hybrid (Marotta, 2011) and, in the case of migration, they can be bicultural (Comănaru, Noels, & Dewaele, 2017), but as Comănaru et al. (2017, p. 539) observe, each bicultural person’s identity is different, depending on his or her life history, language proficiency, psychological traits, etc. Simultaneously, there is evidence that multilingualism increases cognitive empathy (Dewaele & Li, 2012) and makes people more open-minded (Włosowicz, 2019), so it could be assumed that the participants would recognize their hybrid identities as an enrichment rather than a threat to their native identities, even though identification with their native languages and cultures, with their families, etc. would remain an important part of their identity. The research tool used in the present study was a questionnaire completed by forty native speaker teachers and researchers living abroad. As the results show, the participants’ identities are indeed highly complex, hybrid, and influenced by different factors, however, the native language and the family remain very important components of identity, unlike, for example, one’s profession. Still, they also admitted that foreign language knowledge enriched them culturally, intellectually, and emotionally.
The Dynamics of Needs in a Course in English Phonetics for In-Service Primary School Teachers of English
Authors: Kapranov Oleksandr 
Published: December 2020

This article presents a study that seeks to explore the dynamics of needs experienced by a group of in-service primary school teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) who are enrolled in a course in English phonetics at a regional university in Norway. The course in English phonetics is designed for the group of EFL teachers (further – participants) who combine working full-time with taking in-service EFL courses. The aim of the study is to explore how the dynamics of the participants’ needs change within the time frame of two semesters. The study is based upon theoretical premises of needs analysis (further – NA) formulated by Hyland (2006), who regards EFL learners’ needs as a continuous process that changes over time. The results of NA indicate that whereas initially the participants explicitly express the need for obtaining tertiary-level education in English to be able to teach English at primary school, their needs change towards the end of the course to involve the focus on becoming role models in an EFL classroom, paying attention to speech fluency, intonation, and conducting English-only EFL classes. These findings will be further discussed inthe article.

Published: December 2020

The future development of Ural mineral and raw materials base of steel industry is considerably stipulated by the development of deposits of titanium-magnetite ores, the reserves of which are accounted for near 77% of iron ores of Urals. It was shown, that the content of titanium dioxide as well as harmful impurities in the titanium-magnetite have the decisive meaning for selection of processing technology of them for extraction out of them vanadium and other useful components. Technological schemes of the titanium-magnetite enrichment and industrial methods of titanium-magnetite concentrates processing considered. Examples of titanium-magnetite processing by coke-BF and coke-less schemes given. The problems of blast furnace melting of titanium-magnetite ores highlighted. Main problems relate to formation of refractory compounds in a form of carbo-nitrides during reduction of titanium and infusible masses in blast furnace hearth. It was shown, that intensification if carbides precipitation is stipulated by increase of intensity of titanium reduction at increased temperatures of a heat products and requires the BF heat to be run at minimal acceptable temperature mode. Technological solutions, necessary to implement in blast furnace for iron ore raw materials with increased content of titanium processing were presented, including increase of basicity of slag from 1.2 to 1.25-1.30, increase of pressure at the blast furnace top from 1.8 to 2.2 atm, decrease of silicon content in hot metal from 0.1 to 0.05%, application of manganese-containing additives. It was noted, that theoretically the blast furnace melting of titanium-magnetite is possible at titanium dioxide content in slag up to 40% when application of the abovementioned technological solutions, silicon content in hot metal to 0.01% and very stable heat conditions of a blast furnace. The actuality of titanium and its pigmental dioxide production increase was noted. Possibilities of development of Medvedevskoje and Kopanskoje deposits of high-titaniferous ores in Chelyabinsk region with extraction not only iron and vanadium but also titanium considered.
