Policiamento escolar: o trabalho policial em Goiânia-GO
Authors: Da Costa Leon Denis 
Published: June 2018

Este estudo examinou o trabalho policial realizado pelo Batalhão Escolar da Polícia Militar de Goiás. Atividade de prevenção que visa ao atendimento da comunidade escolar com intervenção em situações de violência e infrações penais no interior e nas imediações das escolas estaduais da cidade de Goiânia. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio da aplicação de questionário com questõesabertas sobre as atividades de patrulhamento escolar aos policiais militares e também por meio da observação participante, no período de agosto de 2016 a março do ano de 2017. Os resultados apontam para uma desmistifcação do trabalho policial enquanto uma atividade prioritária de aplicação da lei. No caso do policiamento escolar em Goiânia, as ações são direcionadas muito mais para a prevenção que a repressão. Proporcionalmente, a incidência de emergências não criminais é maior de a ocorrência de emergências criminais. Os policiais já possuem práticas e experiências consolidadas no patrulhamento escolar, porém não existe a normatização desses procedimentos de condutas operacionais, os quais expressam um capital profssional que pode ser expandido como práticas aprimoradas para outras unidades policiais.
English as a Medium of Instruction: My Experience from a Nepali Hinterland
Authors: Khati Ashok Raj 
Published: June 2018

I have observed that many public schools are adopting English as a medium of instruction (EMI) in Nepal for a decade. During my last visits to lower parts of Mt. Everest region, some school principals stated, with a great enthusiasm, that they are gradually replacing Nepali with English as the medium of instruction up to secondary level even though there is lack of research and case studies to find whether such a shift is a boon or bane. It is already the most discussed issue at both global and local educational discourses and policies. Based on my own experience, observation and theoretical knowledge, I, in this paper, make attempts to analyze the EMI situation in Nepal with reference to some questions associated with it. I also suggest that a transitional model of language education is appropriate for multilingual country like Nepal. Journal of NELTA, Vol. 21, No. 1-2, 2016, Page: 23-30

Published: June 2018

The main purpose of this research is to examine the relationships among trust, justice and organizational commitment at hospitals in Nepal. The success of an organization is closely relatedto its employees’ perception of trust, and justice within the organization. This study is based on the effect of perceptions of trust in management and organizational commitment among the nurses working in different hospital at Kathmandu Valley. This study includes the design and distribution of a self-administered questionnaire to 465 nurses belonging to different hospitals working on different basic pay scales.This paper is useful to academicians and organizations to understand the level of relationship that will help them to manage the organization in accordance with its objectives. Improved treatment of organizational and developing mutual trust and understanding between management and workers lead to the organizational commitment.Pravaha Vol. 24, No. 1, 2018, Page: 31-38
Tax evasion in Nepal: An Inquiry
Authors: K.C. Jit Bahadur 
Published: June 2018

Purpose: This article analyses the degree of relationship between tax evasion, total tax revenue and economic growth in Nepal.Methodology: This empirical study adopts secondary data from various journals, books, reports, booklets, and the websites in order to obtain objective results between the research variables (i.e., tax evasion, total tax revenue and economic growth) applying both research tools of correlation and linear regression analysis.Findings: The study found an inverse relationship between the variables (i.e., tax evasion and total tax revenue (-0.678) and tax evasion and economic growth (-0.666)) under correlation analysis. Similarly, it found negative influence of the tax evasion on total tax revenue and economic growth under the regression analysis. The examination of the influence of tax evasion on the total tax revenue showed that, other elements of the taxes kept constant, an increase in tax evasion by 1 unit led to a decrease in value of tax revenue by 34.037. In the same way, study of the influence of the tax evasion on the economic growth (at current price) showed that, other things being constant, an increase in tax evasion by 1 unit led to a decrease in the economic growth by the value of 147.440. Thus, tax evasion has an inverse relationship with economic growth, and tax revenue.Originality: This paper provides an explicit new result on association and influence between and on the research variables (i.e., tax evasion between and on the total tax and economic growth) in Nepal for the duration of 9 years. Thus, this study furnishes the new knowledge in the literature of the research variables. Pravaha Vol. 24, No. 1, 2018, page: 83-95
Risk and Return Analysis of Commercial Banks of Nepal (with reference to NABIL and NIBL)
Authors: Kandel Laxman Raj 
Published: June 2018

This paper analyze the risk and return on common stock investment of Nepalese stock market and it is focused on common stock of two commercial banks listed in Nepal stock exchange Limited. Investors have varying perception towards risk and enterprising activities. They invest in those opportunities which have certain degree of risk associated with it. This research study found that there is a positive relationship between risk and return. Most of the investors are risk averter. It suggest to construct appropriate portfolio instead of investment in a single security which would be able to reduce unsystematic or diversifiable risk. The secondary data which was collected from NEPSE website (www.nepalstock.com), previous studies, NRB publications and publication of selected commercial banks, website of security board of Nepal (SEBO), Journals and internet. Both quantitative and qualitative analysis has been analyzed by using scientific methods. After the analysis of risk and return of sample bank and based on the past data of their last five fiscal years i.e. (FY-2012/13 to FY-2016/17), it is concluded that all the commercial banks are very much risky with fluctuated rate of return. From the findings of beta coefficient of each sample bank, the C.S. of NABIL is seems very much volatile than NIBL stock. It was also found that both selected bank have a high proportion of unsystematic risk.Pravaha Vol. 24, No. 1, 2018, Page: 109-119

Published: June 2018

Purpose: To compare sales of Food Resources and Education for Student Health (FRESH) Approved versus non-FRESH Approved menu cycle items pre- and postimplementation of the FRESH program. Methods: Sales data from 2011–2015 of FRESH Approved versus non-FRESH Approved menu items were analyzed. Fruit and milk items sold, net sales, and the cost of free fruit and milk redeemed through the FRESH Reward Card (FRC) program, were also analyzed. Results: FRESH Approved items sold more often than non-FRESH Approved items in the latter 2 years (P = 0.01). Prices of FRESH Approved menu items were significantly lower than non-FRESH Approved items for all years (e.g., $1.52 ± $0.94 vs $2.21 ± $1.02 per serving in 2014–2015; P < 0.001). Across all FRESH implementation years, FRESH Approved menu items were found more often on the 6-week menu (P < 0.05). The number of fruit items sold increased from a baseline of 143 052 to 170 954, and net sales increased from $135 450 to $154 248 after 3 years of the FRC implementation. Conclusions: FRESH Approved items were less expensive, available more often, and had higher sales. The FRC increased net fruit sales despite the cost of free fruit. Highlighting and reducing the cost of healthy foods are promising practices to improve campus food environments.

Análises dos movimentos dos olhos frequentemente apresentam resultados inconclusivos sobre a função discriminativa dos estímulos que estes movimentos produzem. Esta pesquisa objetivou apresentar a análise da primeira fixação dos olhos de participantes em cada componente de uma tarefa de discriminação simples sucessiva como indicadora das funções discriminativas de dois conjuntos de estímulos. Quatro universitários foram submetidos a tarefas de discriminação em que respostas em um teclado produziram pontos quan-do emitidas diante de um conjunto de estímulos, mas não de outro. O olhar dos participantes foi rastreado. Realizaram-se análises da frequência total, duração total, duração média e duração da primeira fixação dos olhos dos participantes sobre os SDs. A duração da primeira fixação se mostrou mais preditiva das diferentes funções dos conjuntos de estímulos antecedentes à tarefa manual. Os resultados são discutidos em termos das características dinâmicas dos estímulos e da importância de análises dos movimentos dos olhos no

Background: Sampling error is a common problem in muscle biopsies. MRI-guided biopsy allows verification of biopsy site during the procedure, which may reduce sampling error in patients with focal disease. Objectives: To describe the technique for MRI-guided muscle biopsy and discuss potential applications. Methods: Axial MRI images were acquired to determine the target site for muscle biopsy. Needle trajectory was planned on 3D T1 weighted imaging and a MRI-guided biopsy of the vastus lateralis was performed in 13 FSHD patients. Results: An adequate amount of muscle tissue was obtained in all participants, and MRI-guided biopsy succeeded in reaching focal target sites. However, symptomatic hematomas were observed in 2/13 patients Discussion: MRI-guided biopsy has a higher complication rate compared to traditional needle biopsy, most likely due to proximity to blood vessels in combination with the vacuum-assisted suction of the MRI-guided technique. We recommend that this technique is reserved for select diagnostic cases and research questions, with careful assessment of vasculature and reduced suction levels.
Selective prophylactic solvent-detergent plasma and cryoprecipitate transfusion to prevent intraventricular hemorrhage in extreme preterm infants: A case-historical control

Published: June 2018

BACKGROUND: Contradictory evidence exists whether a prophylactic coagulation factor transfusion in the first hours of life (HOL) prevents intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extreme preterm infants (EPI, <28 weeks gestation). We aimed to determine whether selective prophylactic solvent-detergent plasma and cryoprecipitate transfusion within 12 hours of life (SP-SDP/Cryoprecipitate-T) could prevent IVH in EPI. METHOD: This is a retrospective analysis, case-historical control, of prospectively collected data from a pre-existing electronic neonatal database at a Saudi tertiary neonatal intensive care unit. We compared the IVH rate in EPI born in the first 4 years (Jan 2010–Dec 2013) of the SP-SDP/Cryoprecipitate-T period with that of EPI born during the last 4 years (Jan 2006–Dec 2009) of the rescue SDP/Cryoprecipitate-T period. RESULTS: The IVH rate was lower in the SP compared to the rescue- SDP/Cryoprecipitate-T period (30.8% versus 51.2%, odds ratio 0.42, 95% confidence interval 0.21, 0.88, p = 0.02). This difference remained significant after controlling for six other IVH risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Early SP-SDP/Cryoprecipitate-T may reduce the IVH rate in EPI. A large multicenter clinical trial is required for confirm the short and long-term benefit and risk of this intervention. Until then, early SP-SDP/Cryoprecipitate-T may be considered by an institution with a persistently high IVH rate.
Effect of garlic powder (Allium sativum) on growth, dressing parameters, serum biochemical contents and profitability of broiler
Authors: Karim MB , Hossain ME , Ali MS , Hossain A 
Published: June 2018

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of garlic an alternative feed additive in broiler diet. The experiment was carried out for a period of 32 days with a number of 340 day-old straight run broiler chicks. Birds were divided into five dietary treatment groups with 4 replications each having 17 birds. The dietary groups were; control (basal diet; no additives), antibiotic (basal diet + antibiotic), garlic 0.25% (basal diet + 0.25% garlic powder), garlic 0.50% (basal diet + 0.50% garlic powder) and garlic 0.75% (basal diet + 0.75% garlic powder). Results showed that the body weight, body weight gain and total FCR were not differ significantly (P>0.05) among the treatment groups. Total feed intake in different dietary levels showed significant (P<0.05) difference. Control group showed significantly (P<0.05) higher feed intake than the other dietary groups. The results also showed thatthe serum glucose concentration was reduced (P<0.05) in all garlic supplemented groups compared to the control and antibiotic groups. Total cholesterol level was significantly (P<0.05) lower in the 0.75% garlic group compared to the control and antibiotic groups. In case of dressing parameter, 0.75% garlic group showed lowest (P<0.05) abdominal fat compared to the other groups. Cost of production per kg live broiler was lower in antibiotic and control groups compared to the garlic group. With regards to profit, antibiotic groups showed higher profitability than the other groups. It can be concluded that the addition of garlic powder to broiler diet had positive effect on cholesterol and glucose levels and had no effect on feed intake, body weight gain, meat yield, bone development, carcass parameters. It can be suggested that the garlic could be a potential feed additive in broiler diet.Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2017. 46 (4): 215-224
Mass Ejection from the Remnant of a Binary Neutron Star Merger: Viscous-radiation Hydrodynamics Study
Authors: Fujibayashi Sho , Kiuchi Kenta , Nishimura Nobuya , Sekiguchi Yuichiro , Shibata Masaru 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
We perform long-term general relativistic neutrino radiation hydrodynamics simulations (in axisymmetry) for a massive neutron star (MNS) surrounded by a torus, which is a canonical remnant formed after the binary neutron star merger. We take into account the effects of viscosity, which is likely to arise in the merger remnant due to magnetohydrodynamical turbulence. The viscous effect plays key roles for the mass ejection from the remnant in two phases of the evolution. In the first t ≲ 10 ms, a differential rotation state of the MNS is changed to a rigidly rotating state. A shock wave caused by the variation of its quasi-equilibrium state induces significant mass ejection of mass ∼(0.5–2.0)

for the α-viscosity parameter of 0.01–0.04. For the longer-term evolution with ∼0.1–10 s, a significant fraction of the torus material is ejected. We find that the total mass of the viscosity-driven ejecta (

) could dominate over that of the dynamical ejecta (

). The electron fraction, Y

e
, of the ejecta is always high enough (Y

e
≳ 0.25) that this post-merger ejecta is lanthanide-poor; hence, the opacity of the ejecta is likely to be ∼10–100 times lower than that of the dynamical ejecta. This indicates that the electromagnetic signal from the ejecta would be rapidly evolving, bright, and blue if it is observed from a small viewing angle (≲45°) for which the effect of the dynamical ejecta is minor.

Abstract
We describe a deep, systematic imaging study of satellites in the outer halo of the Milky Way. Our sample consists of 58 stellar overdensities—i.e., substructures classified as either globular clusters, classical dwarf galaxies, or ultra-faint dwarf galaxies—that are located at Galactocentric distances of R
GC ≥ 25 kpc (outer halo) and out to ∼400 kpc. This includes 44 objects for which we have acquired deep, wide-field, g- and r-band imaging with the MegaCam mosaic cameras on the 3.6 m Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope and the 6.5 m Magellan-Clay telescope. These data are supplemented by archival imaging, or published gr photometry, for an additional 14 objects, most of which were discovered recently in the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We describe the scientific motivation for our survey, including sample selection, observing strategy, data reduction pipeline, calibration procedures, and the depth and precision of the photometry. The typical 5σ point-source limiting magnitudes for our MegaCam imaging—which collectively covers an area of ≈52 deg2—are g
lim ≃ 25.6 and r
lim ≃ 25.3 AB mag. These limits are comparable to those from the coadded DES images and are roughly a half-magnitude deeper than will be reached in a single visit with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. Our photometric catalog thus provides the deepest and most uniform photometric database of Milky Way satellites available for the foreseeable future. In other papers in this series, we have used these data to explore the blue straggler populations in these objects, their density distributions, star formation histories, scaling relations, and possible foreground structures.
