Published: July 2019

The main purpose of this study is to understand and evaluate the factors affecting consumer's preference of fast food items in Kathmandu Valley. Taste, price, ambience and location have been taken as independent variables and brand preference has been taken as dependent variable in the study. The study has been adopted the descriptive and causal research design. Samplesize has been taken 226 under the study. Primary data for the research has-been collected using structured questionnaire from fast food consumer within Kathmandu Valley of University students. To analyze the collected data, descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation as well as regression analysis has been conducted to identify the relationship and effect between independent variables (taste, price, ambience and location) and dependent variable (consumer preference). SPSS has been used to process the data and to find the result of the data analysis.
By the correlation analysis there is significant relationships between independent variables (taste, price, ambience and location) and dependent variable (brand preference). Based on regression analysis, taste, ambience and location have significant and positive impact on consumer preference for fast food items. It means consumers are much more concerned and aware about these factors while consuming the fast food. Similarly, price has less or no effect on consumer preference for fast food items for the respondents taken under the study.

Published: July 2019

इस आलेख में उपन्यासकार प्रेमचंद द्वारा लिखित उपन्यासों में स्त्री–विमर्श पर एक अध्ययन प्रस्तुत किया गया है । यह एक अनुसंधानमूलक आलेख है । इसमें प्रेमचंद के उपन्यासों में स्त्री विमर्श के साथ–साथ हिंदी उपन्यास में स्त्री विमर्श के आगमन पर एक संक्षिप्त ऐतिहासिक विवरण उल्लेखित है । स्त्री विमर्श का इतिहास, अवधारणा के साथ ही सिद्धांत और आगमन पर एक विवरण भी उल्लेखित है । स्त्री विमर्श रूढ़ हो चुकी मान्यताओं के प्रति असंतोष व उससे मुक्ति का स्वर है । पितृसत्तात्मक समाज के दोहरे नैतिक मापदंड, मूल्यों व अंतर्विरोधों को समझने व पहचानने की गहरी अंतर्दृष्टि है । विश्व चिंतन में यह एक नई बहस को जनम देता है । पितृसत्तात्मक पारिवारिक संरचना पर सवाल खड़ा करता है । आखिर क्यों स्त्रियाँ अपने मुद्दों, अव्यवस्थाओं और समस्याओं के बारे में नहीं सोचसकतीं ? क्यों उनकी चेतना को इतने लंबे समय से अनुशासित व नियंत्रित की जाती रही है ? क्यों वे किसी निर्धारित साँचे में ढली निर्जिव मूर्तियाँ मानी जाती हैं ? क्यों उन्हें परंपरा से बंधी मूक वस्तु समझा जाता है ? क्यों उनकी अपनी कोई पहचान नहीं ? जब इन सवालों का जबाब ढूँढ़ना शुरू हुआ, तब स्त्री अपना अस्तित्व और अधिकार की बात करने लगी । जो पितृसत्तात्मक के सामने एक बड़ा सबाल के रूप में उभरा । सिमोन द बोउआर के अनुसार “स्त्री पुरूष प्रधान समाज की कृति है । वह अपनी सत्ता को बनाए रखने के लिए स्त्री को जनम से ही अनेक नियमों के ढाँचे में ढालता चला गया । जहाँ उसका व्यक्तित्व दबता चला जाता है ।” राजनैतिक क्षेत्र के साथ–साथ साहित्य में भी स्त्रियों की स्थिति में सुधार हेतु यथेष्ठ प्रयास हुआ है आज भी स्त्रियों की अवस्था में कोई खास परिवर्तन नजर नहीं आता । हिंदी साहित्य में स्त्री–विमर्श की स्थिति काफी महत्वपूर्ण है ।

Abstract
This study aims to see the effects of the extreme events of terrorism attacks namely the Surabaya Bomb on May 13, 2018. Analysis of Abnormal Return is carried out to compare the reactions that occur before and after the event. The results of two different statistical tests on average indicate that there is positive post-event sentiment. This implies that investors do not feel that terrorist attacks are a significant disruption to their investment. Comparison between the pre and post-bomb days shows that the AAR of the second day of the pre-event had a significant difference with the AAR on the 4th day after the incident indicating that the bombing event not included as bad news for capital market players. The investor's reaction to the bomb attack was carried out by looking at the value of Cumulative average abnormal return (CAAR) from post-bomb attack data and showing that manufacturing stock returns tend to be stable, with insignificant increases and decreases at t + 1 to t+5, which indicates that there is no evidence of post-event overreaction.

OBJECTIVEIncidental aneurysms pose a challenge for physicians, who need to weigh the rupture risk against the risks associated with treatment and its complications. A statistical model could potentially support such treatment decisions. A recently developed aneurysm rupture probability model performed well in the US data used for model training and in data from two European cohorts for external validation. Because Japanese and Finnish patients are known to have a higher aneurysm rupture risk, the authors’ goals in the present study were to evaluate this model using data from Japanese and Finnish patients and to compare it with new models trained with Finnish and Japanese data.METHODSPatient and image data on 2129 aneurysms in 1472 patients were used. Of these aneurysm cases, 1631 had been collected mainly from US hospitals, 249 from European (other than Finnish) hospitals, 147 from Japanese hospitals, and 102 from Finnish hospitals. Computational fluid dynamics simulations and shape analyses were conducted to quantitatively characterize each aneurysm’s shape and hemodynamics. Next, the previously developed model’s discrimination was evaluated using the Finnish and Japanese data in terms of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Models with and without interaction terms between patient population and aneurysm characteristics were trained and evaluated including data from all four cohorts obtained by repeatedly randomly splitting the data into training and test data.RESULTSThe US model’s AUC was reduced to 0.70 and 0.72, respectively, in the Finnish and Japanese data compared to 0.82 and 0.86 in the European and US data. When training the model with Japanese and Finnish data, the average AUC increased only slightly for the Finnish sample (to 0.76 ± 0.16) and Finnish and Japanese cases combined (from 0.74 to 0.75 ± 0.14) and decreased for the Japanese data (to 0.66 ± 0.33). In models including interaction terms, the AUC in the Finnish and Japanese data combined increased significantly to 0.83 ± 0.10.CONCLUSIONSDeveloping an aneurysm rupture prediction model that applies to Japanese and Finnish aneurysms requires including data from these two cohorts for model training, as well as interaction terms between patient population and the other variables in the model. When including this information, the performance of such a model with Japanese and Finnish data is close to its performance with US or European data. These results suggest that population-specific differences determine how hemodynamics and shape associate with rupture risk in intracranial aneurysms.

The disease resulting in the formation, growth, and rupture of intracranial aneurysms is complex. Research is accumulating evidence that the disease is driven by many different factors, some constant and others variable over time. Combinations of factors may induce specific biophysical reactions at different stages of the disease. A better understanding of the biophysical mechanisms responsible for the disease initiation and progression is essential to predict the natural history of the disease. More accurate predictions are mandatory to adequately balance risks between observation and intervention at the individual level as expected in the age of personalized medicine. Multidisciplinary exploration of the disease also opens an avenue to the discovery of possible preventive actions or medical treatments. Modern information technologies and data processing methods offer tools to address such complex challenges requiring 1) the collection of a high volume of information provided globally, 2) integration and harmonization of the information, and 3) management of data sharing with a broad spectrum of stakeholders.Over the last decade an infrastructure has been set up and is now made available to the academic community to support and promote exploration of intracranial disease, modeling, and clinical management simulation and monitoring.The background and purpose of the infrastructure is reviewed. The infrastructure data flow architecture is presented. The basic concepts of disease modeling that oriented the design of the core information model are explained. Disease phases, milestones, cases stratification group in each phase, key relevant factors, and outcomes are defined. Data processing and disease model visualization tools are presented. Most relevant contributions to the literature resulting from the exploitation of the infrastructure are reviewed, and future perspectives are discussed.
Genetic basis of intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture: clinical implications in the postgenomic era
Authors: Samuel Nardin , Radovanovic Ivan 
Published: July 2019

OBJECTIVEDespite the prevalence and impact of intracranial aneurysms (IAs), the molecular basis of their pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Moreover, there is a dearth of clinically validated biomarkers to efficiently screen patients with IAs and prognosticate risk for rupture. The aim of this study was to survey the literature to systematically identify the spectrum of genetic aberrations that have been identified in IA formation and risk of rupture.METHODSA literature search was performed using the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) system of databases including PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. Relevant studies that reported on genetic analyses of IAs, rupture risk, and long-term outcomes were included in the qualitative analysis.RESULTSA total of 114 studies were reviewed and 65 were included in the qualitative synthesis. There are several well-established mendelian syndromes that confer risk to IAs, with variable frequency. Linkage analyses, genome-wide association studies, candidate gene studies, and exome sequencing identify several recurrent polymorphic variants at candidate loci, and genes associated with the risk of aneurysm formation and rupture, including ANRIL (CDKN2B-AS1, 9p21), ARGHEF17 (11q13), ELN (7q11), SERPINA3 (14q32), and SOX17 (8q11). In addition, polymorphisms in eNOS/NOS3 (7q36) may serve as predictive markers for outcomes following intracranial aneurysm rupture. Genetic aberrations identified to date converge on posited molecular mechanisms involved in vascular remodeling, with strong implications for an associated immune-mediated inflammatory response.CONCLUSIONSComprehensive studies of IA formation and rupture have identified candidate risk variants and loci; however, further genome-wide analyses are needed to identify high-confidence genetic aberrations. The literature supports a role for several risk loci in aneurysm formation and rupture with putative candidate genes. A thorough understanding of the genetic basis governing risk of IA development and the resultant aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage may aid in screening, clinical management, and risk stratification of these patients, and it may also enable identification of putative mechanisms for future drug development.
Intracranial aneurysm growth: consistency of morphological changes

Published: July 2019

OBJECTIVEPrevious studies have shown a relation between growth and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Additionally, several morphological characteristics are frequently measured to estimate rupture risk. Little is known about how the rupture risk is associated with morphological characteristic changes during growth. The aim of this study was to provide insights into how morphological characteristics, associated with rupture, change during an aneurysm’s growth.METHODSThe authors retrospectively identified patients with longitudinal MRA images of unruptured growing aneurysms. The MRA images had an in-plane resolution of 0.2–0.5 mm and a slice thickness of 0.2–0.75 mm. Therefore, growth was defined as an increase of at least 0.5 mm in two directions or 1 mm in one direction. Using the MRA images, the authors semiautomatically segmented the aneurysm and the perianeurysmal vasculature. Twelve morphological characteristics were automatically measured. These characteristics were related to size (diameter, height, width, neck diameter, volume, surface area, aspect ratio, height-width ratio, and bottleneck factor) and shape (ellipticity index, nonsphericity index, and undulation index) of the aneurysm. Morphological characteristics before and after growth were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.RESULTSThe authors included 31 patients with 38 growing aneurysms. The aneurysms’ growth was detected after a mean of 218 weeks (range 23–567 weeks). A significant increase was seen in all size-related characteristics, and the bottleneck factor also significantly increased (from a median of 1.00 [IQR 0.85–1.04] to 1.03 [IQR 0.93–1.18]), while the ellipticity index decreased (from a median of 0.26 [IQR 0.25–0.28] to 0.25 [IQR 0.24–0.26]). The changes in size ratios and shape indices varied largely among patients. Larger aneurysms more often showed an increase in shape ratios.CONCLUSIONSAlthough aneurysm growth, size-related characteristics, bottleneck factor, and ellipticity index changed significantly during growth, most size ratios and shape indices showed inconsistent changes among aneurysms. This suggests that, for an accurate rupture prediction, morphological parameters need to be reassessed after growth.

Published: July 2019

OBJECTIVEPrevious models have been utilized in other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to explore and assess the cost, sustainability, and effectiveness of infant hydrocephalus treatment. However, similar models have not been implemented in Haiti due to a paucity of data, epidemiology, and outcomes for hydrocephalus. Therefore, the authors utilized previously described economic modeling to estimate the annual cost and benefit of treating hydrocephalus in infants at a neurosurgery referral center, Hospital Bernard Mevs (HBM), in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.METHODSThe authors conducted a retrospective review of data obtained in all children treated for hydrocephalus at the HBM from 2008 to 2015. The raw data were pooled with previously described surgical outcomes for hydrocephalus in other LMICs. Modeling was performed to determine outcomes, neurosurgical costs, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and economic benefits of Haitian hydrocephalus treatment during this time frame. Standard account methodology was employed to calculate cost per procedure. Using these formulas, the net economic benefit and cost/DALY were determined for hydrocephalus treatment at HBM from 2008 to 2015.RESULTSOf the 401 patients treated during the study period, 158 (39.4%) met criteria for postinfectious hydrocephalus, 54 (13.5%) had congenital hydrocephalus, 38 (9.5%) had myelomeningocele, 19 (4.7%) had aqueductal stenosis, and 132 (33%) were not placed into a category. Overall, 317 individuals underwent surgical treatment of their hydrocephalus, averting 3077 DALYs. The total cost of the procedures was $754,000, and the cost per DALY ranged between $86 and $245. The resulting net economic benefit for neurosurgical intervention ranged from $2.5 to $5.5 million.CONCLUSIONSThis work demonstrates the substantial economic benefit of neurosurgical intervention for the treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus at a single hospital in Haiti. Based on DALYs averted, the need for additional centers offering basic neurosurgical services is apparent. A single center offering these services for several days each month was able to generate between $2.5 to $5.5 million in economic benefits, suggesting the need to develop neurosurgical capacity building in Haiti. Ultimately, prevention, screening, and early surgical treatment of these infants represent a public health and socioeconomic requisite for Haiti.
