Published: April 2019

In the watershed Centella , located in the upper river basin of the Dagua - Valle del Cauca, in nine farms with association coffee - banana, coffee - guamo, cane panelera and pastures, the water regulation capacity of the soil was studied by means of humidity retention curves obtained in the laboratory and by modeling its hydrophysical properties in Hydrus 2D. Properties such as texture, bulk density, porosity, organic matter, hydraulic conductivity, infiltration and humidity were determined. Subsequently, moistureretention curves were simulated using the hydraulic models of Van Genuchten, Brooks and Corey, Van Genuchten modified and Kosugi, evaluating the average errors and the dispersion of the data. Agreed to the results it is possible to point out that the soil under study has a high capacity for moisture retention ( > 18%), consequence of the high content of clays ( > 41%) and organic matter ( > 5%), characteristics of the Andisols of the Valle del Cauca. Finally, the best fitting model was compared statistically with the data of the curves obtained in the laboratory, finding that Van Genuchten and Van Genuchten models modified, are the most appropriate for obtaining the retention curves from the hydrophysical properties since they presented a lower mean error (ME) with a value not higher than -0.11 cm3 / cm3 and a value of the square root of the mean square error (RMSE) less than 0.11 cm3 / cm3.
Socialidades alternativas: sobre o conceito de cultura dos Karajá de Buridina
Authors: Nunes Eduardo S. 
Published: April 2019

O conceito de ‘cultura’ vem aparecendo, de maneira cada vez mais proeminente, no cenário político indígena – e isso justamente em um momento em que tal conceito vem sofrendo tantas críticas que muitos antropólogos e antropólogas deixaram mesmo de usá-lo. O presente artigo visa tratar de uma dimensão pouco explorada desse debate: o uso indígena do conceito de ‘cultura’ em um contexto entre-si. Mais precisamente, o objetivo é perseguir o próprio conceito indígena de cultura, tratando de sua relação, por um lado, com o conceito antropológico e, por outro, com a vida indígena.

Authors: Karki Prabin Kumar , Timalsina Santosh , Chalise Sanat , Yadav Anita , Bhattarai Ashish Kumar 
Published: April 2019

Background: Diabetes mellitus has become one of the biggest health problems of this era. The resultant microvascular and macrovascular complications add to significant amount of morbidity and mortality. Urine microalbumin is considered as an early marker for microvascular compli­cations among diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of microalbuminuria among type 2 diabetic patients attending Kathmandu Medical College and its relation with glycemic control, age, sex, duration of diabetes.
Methods: A total of 208 previously diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients at­tending medical outpatient department of Kathmandu Medical College, Sinamangal were included in the study over a period of 1 year (October 2017 - September 2018). Fasting and 2-hour postprandial venous blood for blood glucose and HbA1c measurement and early morning urine sam­ple (after overnight fast) was collected for detection of microalbuminuria. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 23.
Results: The prevalence of microalbuminuria among the study population (mean age: 54.22 ± 11.76 years, mean HbA1c: 7.62 ± 1.53 %) was 42.8%. Microalbuminuria had significant correlation with HbA1c and duration of diabetes (p<0.001), but not with age, sex and type of medication. There was positive correlation between urine microalbumin and fasting and post-prandial blood glucose.
Conclusions: Our present study found high prevalence of microalbumin­uria among diabetic patients with poor glycemic control. It is suggested that tighter glycemic control with regular urine microalbumin testing should be integral part of diabetic management plan to prevent long term complications such as diabetic nephropathy

Authors: Shrestha Swostika , Ghimire Srijana 
Published: April 2019

Background: Stress and self-esteem are common issues that everyone has to cope with at some time in their lives and they could also affect other things going on in a person’s’ life. The objective of the study is to identify the stress and self-esteem among nursing students.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among B.Sc. Nursing students, Chitwan Medical College. The data was collected by us­ing structured questionnaire within 2 weeks. Obtained data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 16.0. Descriptive statistics (mean, frequency, percentage and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (chi-square and correlation) were used for data analysis.
Results: Out of 116 respondents, 23.3%, 25.9%, 25.9% and 25.0% were from first, second, third and fourth year respectively. More than half i.e. 50.9% of the respondents had high stress. Respondents had faced higher (68.1%) in teacher related stress followed by peer stress 67.2% and self-inflict 66.0%. About 61.2% of the respondents had low self-esteem. There was higher stress in first year students then other. The fact is that as the academic year increases, students become more familiar to the learning environment and able to cope better. There was statistical significant as­sociation between stress among nursing students and habit of problem sharing (p=0.04).
Conclusions: It is concluded that respondents have high level of stress and low level of self-esteem. Therefore, intervention for increasing self-esteem and decreasing stress should be conducted by the college administration.
Geochemical and biostratigraphic constraints on the genesis of mafic intrusive in the Buxa Dolomite (Neoproterozoic), Panging area of the Arunachal Lesser Himalaya, north east India
Authors: Gupta A. K. , Singh A. K. 
Published: April 2019

Mafic intrusive within Neoproterozoic carbonates of Miri-Buxa Group in the Panging area of the Arunachal Lesser Himalaya, NE India has been reported for the first time. These mafic rocks have affinity to subalkaline-Mg-tholeiites and identified as low-Ti gabbro. Geochemically they are characterized by enrichment in LILE and LREE, depleted in HFSE with minor REE fractionated nature [(La/Yb)N = 2.70-3.29)] and positive Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 1.00-1.30). These rocks have the influence of a within plate signature which were intruded in a continental rift tectonic environment. Petrogenetic modelings of [Mg]-[Fe] and REE suggest these mafic rocks probably derived from enriched mantle source similar to komatiitic composition at moderate to higher degree (35% - 50%) of partial melt. Based on the present reported microfossils viz. Rivularia haematites and Filamentus cyanobacteria in the chert lenses of the Buxa Dolomite from the Panging area, it is suggested that the gabbroic intrusion might have been taken place during Late Neoproterozoic which is probably close to the Precambrian–Cambrian boundary.
« Les marques » de l’absence dans le théâtre de Maurice Maeterlinck
Authors: Enache Eugenia 
Published: April 2019

Our approach is focused on the issue of the “markers” of absence as well as on the expression and materialization of that absence in a corpus of works formed of the following plays: L’Intruse, Les Aveugles, Intérieur by Maurice Maeterlinck.
The acceptions the concept of “absence” may receive throughout our analysis are parts of the phenomenon of progressive alienation seen, for instance, as separation (stressing the idea of distance and departure), or as solitude, then omission (in the sense of forgetting), and culminating with the inability of perception that anticipates isolation, physical imprisonment and announces death (designated through a privative prefix) as an absence that is always present and obscurity.
We attempt to reveal the “markers” of absence on the level of certain constituents of the play: the character, formed of a discursive feature, infinitely simple and repetitive, much more diminished and developing without individuality, like a silent, mysterious ghost; and the action where it is rather inaction that represents our primary direction of research. As a secondary direction, we consider the markers of absence in a language that, in the case of Maeterlinck, is remarkably pure and lacks any syntactic or lexical complication, from lexical structures (the reassessment of short expressions makes the utterances seem captivatingly strange, revealing, beyond words, unutterable, unspeakable) and the grammar, especially the semantics of its forms – the 3rd person pronouns, a form we may consider as deprived of referential content, the indefinite pronouns which indicate absence –, the semantics of punctuation, especially that of the suspension points.
« Écrire l’absence » selon Assia Djebar : Le Blanc de l’Algérie
Authors: Gubińska Maria 
Published: April 2019

The well-known French-language writer, Assia Djebar, teaches the reader to listen intently to cultural differences, inspires tolerance towards other people and touches upon the problem of the emancipation of women in the Arab-Muslim civilization.
In her work entitled Le Blanc de l’Algérie Djebar recalls deceased Algerian intellectuals, such as Albert Camus, Frantz Fanon or Kateb Yacine, as well as cruelly murdered writers and less known persons, who proved to be important for the author
herself (namely her friends) and for the history of Algeria. The author bemoans those absent figures, remembering their last minutes of life, their families’ despair, and the atrocity of death.
The article is an attempt at a reflection on the problem of absence that is in dichotomy with presence. The absence of great Algerians is unbearable; it is not silence but a cry for the memory of the tragic moments in the history of the country. Those moments, when remembered, shall help understand better the painful contemporary times. Djebar in a subtle way removes a white shroud (white is the colour of mourning in the tradition of North-African countries), thus showing the reader the moving and colourful Algerian fresco.

Published: April 2019

The Entrepreneurial orientation (EO), is a company activity that are related to proactive decision-making practices that pay attention to innovative strategies, risk-taking and exploiting market opportunities. This study aims to explain the development of the EO with a qualitative approach with the literature study method. Results obtained, EO was first introduced by miller in
1983, stating the importance of innovation, risk taking, productiveness in the EO concept, later developed by Morris and Paul (1987), and Merz and Sauber (1995). In 1996 Lumpkin and Dess perfected the EO concept of Miller (1983) by adding autonomy and competitive aggressiveness in measuring EO. But in its development to date, EO measurements based on several earlier studies EO measurements combine between the studies of Miller (1983) and Lumpkin and Dess (1996).

Introduction. Nowadays the language of modern television broadcasts’ speechesis more and more in the focus of linguistic study. Special interest of given paper is comprisedby the variability in gender categorization of nouns as it occurs in speeches of Ukrainian TVprograms anchorpersons. The object of the paper is the choice of nouns in modern TV speech,that is distinguished due to the variability of grammatical category of the gender of nouns waysof realization.Purpose of the article is to analyze the nouns that have suffered changes in thegrammatical category of gender within the current language trends being implemented inthe broadcast of Ukrainian television. In addition, the aim is to outline some of the reasonsfor the emergence of such tendencies, the relative use of these nouns, the degree of codificationin modern lexicographic sources.Methods of research. The research is grounded on descriptive method, the method ofempiric analysis, immediate constituents’ analysis, and contextual analysis.Results. Studying the language used in contemporary Ukrainian TV speeches convincinglydemonstrated how formal-grammatical indicators of the category of gender of nouns in moderntelecommunication vary (shift), implemented in the following modifications: male genius  femalegenus, female genus  male genus. In addition, the review of codification in the dictionariesof the analyzed noun units shows that variational changes in the morphology of the noun andin particular, in its morphological and grammatical categories nowadays cause not onlythe dislocation of the current linguistic norm, but also tend to change the morphological norms.
Conclusion. Analyzing the language used in speeches of informative and entertainingUkrainian TV programs’ anchorpersons, we have concluded that they prefer to choose differentgrammatical variations in favor of a specific counterpart to the grammatical category of the gender,often a revitalized or dialectal word used.

Published: April 2019

Controlling the work function of transition metal oxides is of key importance towards future energy production and storage. As majority of applications comprise the use of heterostructures, the most suitable experimental technique is Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy, providing excellent energetic and lateral resolution. In this paper we demonstrate the possibility of the precise work function characterization using the example of artificially formed crystalline titanium monoxide TiO nanowires on strontium titanate SrTiO3 surfaces providing a sharp atomic interface. The measured value of 3.31(21) eV is the first experimental work function evidence for a cubic TiO phase, being additionally subjected to significant variations among different crystallographic facets. Despite the remarkable height of the formed TiO nanowires, FM-KPFM proved to be able to achieve high lateral resolution of 15 nm, which is close to the topographical limits. In this study we show also the unique possibility of obtaining conductivity and work function maps on the same area, by combining contact and non-contact atomic force microscopy. As most of real applications require ambient operating conditions, we have additionally checked the impact of air venting on the work function of the TiO/SrTiO3(100) heterostructure, proving the surface re-oxidation occurs and results in work function increases of 0.9 eV and 0.6 eV for SrTiO3 and TiO, respectively. In addition, the influence of physisorbed species was estimated to contribute 0.4 eV and 0.2 eV to the work function of both structures. The presented method of the KPFM (and LC-AFM) employment for the work function characterization of transition metal oxides may help to understand the reduction and oxidation impact on electronic properties, which is of high importance towards the development of effective sensing and catalytic devices.
