Congenital hypothyroidism is the commonest preventable cause of mental retardation. It is more prevalent in endemic goiter regions like Bangladesh. This study was done to assess the congenital hypothyroidism in neonates (age 4 to 28 days) admitted in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. It was a cross sectional descriptive study conducted at pediatric department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital from July 2016 to June 2018. After taking written consent from each mother/guardian, 3 ml venous blood was collected and sent to the laboratory of Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences, Rajshahi to estimate serum TSH/ serum TSH and T4 level. Total 500 samples were collected in two years of study period. All information was put in the data collection sheet and was analyzed through standard statistical method by using SPSS version 16.0. Serum level of TSH ≥ 20 μIU/ml was considered as congenital hypothyroidism. Serum level increased but bellow 20μIU/ml were recalled to repeat serum TSH level within 2 to 6 weeks of age. Among 500,321(64.2%) male and 179 (35.8%) female, Among 500 study population, 199 and 135 came from Rajshahi and Chapai Nawabganj district respectively. Total 7 mothers were hypothyroid and on thyroid replacement therapy. TSH level above 20 μIU/ml was found in 5 neonates, 11 to 20 μIU/ml in 7 neonates. After repeat TSH testing one infant had serum TSH level above 20 μIU/ml. Finally total 6 infants were diagnosed as having congenital hypothyroidism. Thus frequency of congenital hypothyroidism was 1.2%. Congenital hypothyroidism in Rajshahi region is very high in relation to global incidence. Although this is not the actual picture of our country but this figure is alarming. Therefore neonatal screening program should be started as soon as possible to reduce the number of mentally retarded child. Maternal obesity and thyroidal status have significant association with neonatal TSH level.

Nanotip Contacts for Electric Transport and Field Emission Characterization of Ultrathin MoS2 Flakes
Authors: Iemmo Laura , Urban Francesca , Giubileo Filippo , Passacantando Maurizio , Di Bartolomeo Antonio 
Published: January 2020

We report a facile approach based on piezoelectric-driven nanotips inside a scanning electron microscope to contact and electrically characterize ultrathin MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide) flakes on a SiO2/Si (silicon dioxide/silicon) substrate. We apply such a method to analyze the electric transport and field emission properties of chemical vapor deposition-synthesized monolayer MoS2, used as the channel of back-gate field effect transistors. We study the effects of the gate-voltage range and sweeping time on the channel current and on its hysteretic behavior. We observe that the conduction of the MoS2 channel is affected by trap states. Moreover, we report a gate-controlled field emission current from the edge part of the MoS2 flake, evidencing a field enhancement factor of approximately 200 and a turn-on field of approximately 40 V / μ m at a cathode–anode separation distance of 900 nm .
Albert Milhaud : un juif de Nîmes dans la politique héraultaise
Authors: Andréani Roland 
Published: January 2020

Albert Milhaud, un judío de Nîmes en a política del departemento de Hérault.
Después de apartarse de su ciudad y de su religión, Milhaud va a estudiar en París hasta sacar la «agrégation » de historia y geografía en 1894. Está destinado al lycée Louis-le-Grand en 1907, lo que no le impide colaborar desde el año siguiente al Rappel, uno de los diarios radicales parisienses. Las relaciones que entabla así la conducen a enfrentarse con el diputado socialista Barthe, pero sólo diez años después sale elegido diputado de Hérault. El volver a la votación uninominal lo aparta de las Cortes en 1928 pero no de la política. Secretario general del partido desde 1931 hasta 1934, Milhaud vuelve a unificar la federación de Hérault cuya presidencia deja sólo en 1938 ya que los militantes entonces se niegan a investir para la elección al Senado a esse intelectual y hombre de aparato sin mandato local.
Les roches filoniennes paléozoïques non granitiques des Pyrénées
Authors: Romeu Albert de 
Published: January 2020

Dans ce travail, nous avons étudié, les roches de couleur généralement foncée (riches en feldspaths plagioclases et en silicates ferromagnésiens et plus ou moins pauvres en feldspaths monocliniques), dont les filons se rencontrent dans le granite et les terrains paléozoïques des Pyrénées.
Nous avons cherché à mettre de l’ordre dans les roches provenant de très nombreux gisements qui sont surtout abondants dans les Hautes-Pyrénées et l’est des Basses-Pyrénées. Elles présentent, en général, deux temps de consolidation : le premier temps étant plus différencié que le second, c'est autour de cinq types principaux définis par leurs phénocristaux que nous avons rangé nos matériaux.
Le type Riou-Maou est une labradorite amphibolique à hornblende.
Le type Vallée du Lys est une microdiorite à labrador et hornblende.
Les roches de ces deux types sont grisâtres, ayant quelques-unes un aspect grenu ; les roches des trois autres types sont de couleur vert foncé et d'apparence plus compacte.
Le type Lac Bleu est une diabase intersertale passant par diminution de cristallinité à une labradorite très vitreuse.
Le type Arbizon est aussi une diabase intersertale un peu différente de celle du type précédent et passant à une andésite augitique très différente comme aspect de la labradorite du Lac Bleu.
Nous avons insisté sur ce que les diabases intersertales des deux types Lac Bleu et Arbizon diffèrent minéralogiquement et géologiquement des ophites des Pyrénées, qui sont des diabases ophitiques, et qui jusqu'ici n’ont été trouvées qu’en petits massifs, jamais en filons, : dans les terrains secondaires de la chaîne, jamais dans les terrains anciens.
Notre type Piquette deras Lids est une andésite augitique à hornblende, augite et andésine.
Enfin, dans un Chapitre spécial, nous avons examiné les rapports chimiques de nos roches entre elles et avec d’autres roches des Pyrénées. Les éléments manquent pour étudier ce dernier point avec toute la généralité voulue.

Conflict between Inner Freedom and Socially Constructed of Female Destiny in Toni Morrison’s Chosen Novels
Authors: Vidya kumary V R , Mohan K 
Published: January 2020

The concept of ‘self’ is closely related to the idea of identity. Self is just what makes us who we are. In the modern context, emergence of self refers to freeing it from hierarchy and dependence. The self becomes responsible for itself, for maintaining its own image, which happens through social interactions. According to the psychologist, William James, self is essentially a social structure and it arises in social experiences. ‘Selfhood’ is formed from experiences. It changes not only over a period, but also emerges as what we experience as the ‘self’ in a particular period. Human beings have the unique quality of reflecting upon and evaluating their thoughts, feelings and actions. By understanding oneself, one can hope to achieve greater happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment, liberation and also foster better relations with people around. Selfhood is important to us, both as individuals and as social creatures, as it shapes our personal existence and our relations with those whom we bond.

An experiment was conducted during winter growing season of 2018 /2019 at Al-Qurnah sub-district, Basrah Governorate to study the effect of foliar spraying of folic acid and amino acid cysteine at different concentrations on growth, Minerals, chlorophyll contents and green yield faba bean (Vicia faba cv. Luz de otono). The study included sixteen treatments Consist of four concentration of folic acid (o,10,20 and 30) mg.L-1 in combination with four concentrations of Cysteine (0,10,20 and 30) mg.L-1. The results indicated that spraying with folic acid or cysteine significantly increased all vegetative growth characteristics (shoot height, branch number, leaflet number and fresh and dry weight of shoot system per plant), N, P, K, chlorophyll content of leaves and green pod yield/plant and fresh seed yields /plant. Spraying with folic acid at 30 mg.L.-1 and cysteine at 30 mg.L.-1 gave the greatest values of growth parameters, chlorophyll and yield, whereas 20 mg.L-1 folic acid with 30 mg.L-1 Cysteine was produced the highest values of N, P and K in faba bean leaves as compared with other combination treatments. Control treatment gave the lowest values for growth parameters, chlorophyll, N, P, K and yield.
Rapid and coarse face detection: With a lack of evidence for a nasal-temporal asymmetry
Authors: Cabral Laura , Stojanoski Bobby , Cusack Rhodri 
Published: January 2020

AbstractHumans have structures dedicated to the processing of faces, which include cortical components (e.g., areas in occipital and temporal lobes) and subcortical components (e.g., superior colliculus and amygdala). Although faces are processed more quickly than stimuli from other categories, there is a lack of consensus regarding whether subcortical structures are responsible for rapid face processing. In order to probe this, we exploited the asymmetry in the strength of projections to subcortical structures between the nasal and temporal hemiretina. Participants detected faces from unrecognizable control stimuli and performed the same task for houses. In Experiments 1 and 3, at the fastest reaction times, participants detected faces more accurately than houses. However, there was no benefit of presenting to the subcortical pathway. In Experiment 2, we probed the coarseness of the rapid pathway, making the foil stimuli more similar to faces and houses. This eliminated the rapid detection advantage, suggesting that rapid face processing is limited to coarse representations. In Experiment 4, we sought to determine whether the natural difference between spatial frequencies of faces and houses were driving the effects seen in Experiments 1 and 3. We spatially filtered the faces and houses so that they were matched. Better rapid detection was again found for faces relative to houses, but we found no benefit of preferentially presenting to the subcortical pathway. Taken together, the results of our experiments suggest a coarse rapid detection mechanism, which was not dependent on spatial frequency, with no advantage for presenting preferentially to subcortical structures.
Does Weather Contribute to Stock Price Variation? A Cointegration Analysis
Authors: Gunasekara A. L. , Jayasinghe J. A. D. K. 
Published: January 2020

The objectives of this study are to investigate whether there is a long term relationship between stock returns and weather factors and to examine whether the weather factors have an outperforming effect over macroeconomic variables when explaining the stock price variation. This study is motivated by the emergence of behavioral branch of asset pricing which pays attention towards the irrationality of investors who are influenced by the mood and the sentiment. This study investigates this phenomenon taking evidence from an emerging market, Colombo Stock Exchange. The study uses Johansen Cointegration Test with VAR - Vector Error Correction Estimates and Variance Decomposition. The results confirm that weather factors are related with the stock prices in the long run and reveal that temperature has an outperforming contribution to the stock price variation whiles supporting the Temperature Anomaly which is widely tested in this background.
Black Orthodox “Visual Piety”: People, Saints, and Icons in Pursuit of Reconciliation
Authors: Kravchenko Elena 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
African Americans regularly join Eastern Orthodox churches in the United States. By focusing on what practitioners do with Orthodox icons, this case study explores the processes through which specific experiences and expressions of being an Orthodox Christian become possible and meaningful for African American practitioners. This article suggests that saint veneration became a compelling Orthodox practice to practitioners because it provided a unique way to connect to the divine and to resist continuing racial discrimination in the United States. With the help of icons, African American men and women demonstrated that African people were saints, that African women contributed significantly to the history of Christianity, and that African Americans performed saintly acts. In this way, practitioners aimed to cultivate a reconciled Christian community where the full and equal membership of people of African descent is taken for granted. In following how Orthodox Christians put the materiality of their icons to work to deconstruct the assumption that whiteness is a universal default for religious experience, this article urges scholars of African American religions to make room for Eastern Orthodoxy as yet another tradition that supplies African Americans with creative tools to craft a compelling way of being a religious person.
Irrelevance of inflation: The Dow stocks
Authors: Azar Samih Antoine 
Published: January 2020

The irrelevance of inflation is a proposition, inherited from corporate finance, which states that inflation is irrelevant for the valuation of nominal and real stock prices. In other terms, Net Present Values (NPVs) and stock returns are independent of the inflation rate. The issue at stake is both theoretical and empirical, although the first came much before the latter. In the empirical realm, stock returns are found to be statistically negatively related to inflation. However, and theoretically, the classical school predicted that they should be related positively one-to-one. Moreover long run analysis, that came later, found that stock prices are positively related to price indexes. This stems from the fact that stocks are claims upon real assets, and, therefore, should be a hedge against inflation with the same one-to-one relation. This paper differs by subjecting all these hypotheses to the individual stocks included in the Dow Jones Industrial Index, and not to returns calculated from stock indexes, which is the usage. The empirical results in this paper support strongly the irrelevance of inflation. This is true whatever the price index, whatever the econometric procedure, whatever the industry to which the stock belongs, and whatever the specification of the model. Hence inflation is neither negatively nor positively related to stock returns, whether nominal or real.
Evaluation of error types and quality on panoramic radiography
Authors: Aktuna Belgin Ceren , Serindere Gözde 
Published: January 2020

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of panoramic radiographic errors and to evaluate the correlation between age and panoramic radiographic error types.
Methodology: A total of 500 panoramic radiographs (259 male, 241 female) which have been taken for various reasons were randomly selected from the archive of our dentomaxillofacial radiology department. Patients were divided into six age groups and by sex. The assessed errors included the tongue not in contact with palate, slumped position, patients not biting on bite block, patient movement, the chin tipped high, the chin tipped low, the patient positioned forward, the patient positioned backward, patient’ head turned to one side, foreign bodies in the image, exposure errors, positioning error of the lips and missing image. Each radiograph was quality rated as excellent, diagnostically acceptable or unacceptable.
Results: One or more errors were detected in 317 (63.4%) of the 500 panoramic radiographs, while no error was found in 183 (%36.6). It was observed that the most common error type was the slumped position (13.2%). Quality of the panoramic radiographs was evaluated according to the criteria, only 15% images were classified as “excellent”, 48.2% was as “inadequate for diagnosis” and 36.8% was as “adequate for diagnosis”. It was recorded that “slumped position” and “patient movement” errors were statistically significant in >56 years (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Patients can be protected from unnecessary radiation reception by investigating the causes of panoramic radiographic errors and training of technicians in this direction.
