 Abstract

Abstract The present study is carried out in order to analyze the existing Masters� Degree curriculum of Foundation of Education (ED 511). Descriptive survey design has been used in present study. 10 teachers of different college of Tribhuvan University and 20 post-graduation (M ED) students who studying at Sanothimi campus were selected as samples using purposive sampling methods. Results reveals that sufficient indigenous knowledge related contents are not instrumented in the existing curriculum of ED 511. Similarly, the results of the present study reveals that although the major general and specific objectives, contents, pedagogical activities and assessment procedures are satisfactory, sufficient indigenous knowledge friendly objectives and contents are not incorporated in the ED 511 curriculum. Only one topic related to indigenous knowledge is instrumented in the curriculum. Accordingly, general, specific objectives and assessment procedures cover some indigenous knowledge friendly contents. These provisions are not sufficient form the perspectives of indigenous knowledge. Similarly, indigenous knowledge that exists in society has historically been ignored and neglected. So, a majority of the respondents agreed that there is sufficient room for indigenous knowledge in the existing curriculum that could be incorporated in the Foundation of Education curriculum (ED 511). In this context, explicit and tacit indigenous knowledge could be instrumented in the existing ED. 511 curriculum easily. Accordingly, specific pedagogical practices and assessment procedure should be added for the effective implementation of these contents. Thus, it can be concluded that existing syllabus of ED 511 should be improved as per the norms of the changed need of the society and indigenous knowledge perspectives.

 Abstract

The study examined the slot and the complex resolution hypothesis relating to visual short-term memory. Thirty college students participated in the study. They performed typing thirty animal names in four conditions. In Blind Condition, stickers covered all the alphabets on the key board. In Control Condition, participants performed normal typing. In the Minimal Change Condition, places of two alphabets were interchanged to increase the complexity of resolution. In Maximal Change Condition, places of four alphabets were interchanged to further increase the complexity of resolution. The error rate in the Blind Condition was 92.81%, which pointed out that performance on the key board is a function of visual short-term memory rather than habit. The error rate in the Control Condition was only 0.46% to point out that participants could simultaneously attend to 26 alphabets in the visual field without regard to any slot. In the Minimal Change Condition, the error rate was much higher than the Control Condition, which supported the complex resolution hypothesis that increased complexity of the visual field reduces the performance in visual short-term memory. Further, a spread of effect is observed in the performance as the error rate not only increased in the changed part but also in the unchanged part. In the Maximal Change Condition, the error rate was very high to suggest that increased complexity of the visual field causes tangential increase in the error rate. The findings of the study disproved the slot hypothesis and proved the complex resolution hypothesis.

ABSTRACT The welfare economists have been confronted with the controversies of interpersonal comparisons or of value judgments for a long period of time. Following Pareto most of the conventional theory of welfare economics rested on the assumed value judgment that if one person was better off and no one was worse off welfare was increased. But without the knowledge of utility or welfare function none can be sure that satisfying those conditions is better than violating them. Moreover Paretian value judgment did not apply to a situation where some persons were benefited and some were harmed by some policy change. . Professor Amartya Kumar Sen in his article �Interpersonal Aggregation and Partial Comparability�, Econometrica 38, May1970, has made an attempt to provide a fairly rigorous presentation of a possible framework of interpersonal comparability. In this paper I have found out how far Prof. Sen�s partial comparability analysis suits our practical problem of evaluation of alternative social states in respect of social welfare. At the same time I have tried to point out unexplored part of the problems of measurement of social welfare and comparability. In course of my exploration I have kept it in my mind that both welfare and non-welfare information constitute the appropriate basis of social welfare evaluation.

 Abstract

The main purpose of the research is to examine in detail postmodern traits with specific reference to the Indian diaspora in the fictional works of Amitav Ghosh. The novels like The Calcutta Chromosome, The Glass Palace, The Hungry Tide, Sea of Poppies, and River of Smoke of Amitav Ghosh have been particularly considered for this review. These novels are the flawless sustenance for the postmodern characters and the behavior of diaspora written by Amitav Ghosh. In these novels, Ghosh has occupied constantly in the risk of putting otherwise individual back in the middle of the narrative and saving from getting lost in the hegemonic representation of the nation. Especially worried with the South Asian diaspora in the various regions of the world, the novels are endeavoured narrations of anti-Hegelian history of the world, including the hitherto left-out narratives of the familiar individual � the dilemma against the historical backdrop, this endeavour is to oppose the control of the nation through own experiences, the story and search for own identity.

 Abstract

Cardiac disease is one of the loading causes of death worldwide. One of the effective ways to diagnose heart disease is ECG. Electrocardiogram(ECG) is the measure of heart�s electrical activity and analysis of ECG signal is of very high importance in detection of cardiac abnormalities. Hybrid adaptive filtering is a combination of a band-pass butter worth filter and an adaptive spectral filter. Apart from filtering the raw ECG signal, the proposed system processed the filtered ECG signal to extract P,Q,R,S,T peaks from the ECG signal. Also, the system computes heartbeat based on R-Peak e repetition. The comprehensive system that has been proposed allows to export the proposed ECG signal with P,Q,R,S,T markings in an image that can be sent via E-mail or other detail mediums over internet to health care professionals. Also, the system allows modulation of exported ECG image into a voice signal that can be transmitted over GSM / PSTN channel, so that processed ECG signal can be transmitted over mobile/landline phone(s) where internet is not available.

Abstract Objective: This quantitative study described psycho social wellbeing in the midlife mothers of children with multiple disabilities. Method: Data was collected using interview schedules with 60 midlife women. Results: There is no difference between the socio demographic characters of respondents and psychosocial wellbeing. Discussion: This study concludes that disability throws a devastating impact when the midlife mothers face psychosocial problems, because they are the primary care givers. A problem affecting the mothers can affect the whole family. The mothers have to handle lots of task such as household works, looking after the family, going for job despite their multitasking ability. So, it might become difficult to handle certain situations in their life.

Abstract: Organic agriculture in developing countries has increased in past decades especially due to the high demand of or- ganic products in developed countries. This article attempts to present motivational factors influencing the farmers in the conversion to organic tea farming using both primary and secondary sources, for information through interviews with 196 tea farmers in Jitpur and Mangalbare area of Ilam district as well as tea consultants and promoters in this district as a case study. All of farmers have converted their tea farms into organic production for the last five years. It was found that there were different influencing factors for the conversion of their firms into organic tea cultivation. Which include environmental awareness; bright market prospects, economic benefit, health consciousness and sustainability so, while planning programs for the development of the organic tea production in Nepal, policy makers should consider the support of farmers' institutions, provision of training to farmers and raise farmers' awareness about the environmental, economic and health benefits of organic farming.

 Abstract

Economic development and quality of life Economic science alone will not provide satisfactory answers to the problems posed by environmental economics. The economist can no longer ignore the ecological consequences of a certain type of economic development, and the ecologist will not ignore the economic and social problems posed by the application of an effective environmental policy. The idea of human progress should no longer be confused with the concept of economic growth. To do this, it will be necessary to re-examine the complex and delicate relationships between man and his environment so that man can move towards a type of development which is not detrimental to his environment. The essential balances of matter and energy flows in natural and man-made ecosystems must be restored or preserved. We must acquire a better knowledge of the effects of human activities on the different ecosystems, and, consequently, intensify research of an interdisciplinary nature. In addition, growth and development models need to be reconsidered. In the case of the environment, as in that of development, it is now necessary to distinguish between the essential and the superfluous. This is an additional reason for advocating a holistic approach to environmental problems.

 Abstract

A triorganotin (IV) complex [R3SnL: R=Ph] has been synthesized by the reaction of triphenyltin (IV) chloride with biological potent imidazol base ligand 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4, 5-diphenyl imidazole (HL) derived from benzil, salicyladehyde and ammonium acetate. The geometry of the complex has been proposed on the basis of elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (IR, 1H NMR, UV and Mass spectra). On the basis of these studies it revealed that Imidazol ligand act as N/O donor system and coordinated to tin atom in bidentate fashion with trigonal pyramidal geometry around Tin atom. To compare the biopotency of the complex, Imidazol ligand and its complex were also tested for antimicrobial evaluation against bacteria and fungi. The activity data show that the metal complex is found to be more potent biocides than the parent ligand.

 Abstract

India is the second-largest in population and many crops Indian farmers can cultivate and Most of the farmers cultivate cotton in large numbers but the cotton leaf disease is the major problem in the past few decades and that results in a loss of crops, their productivity and money as well. The Cotton leaves are affected by the disease named Cercospora, Bacterial blight, Ascochyta blight, and Target spot. General observation by farmers may be time-consuming, expensive and sometimes inaccurate. The Cotton leaf Disease Detection and identifying the disease at an early stage is a very difficult task for the farmers. If the infection or disease on the crops was not identified by the farmers at the initial level then it will be harmful to the crops as well as for farmers

 Abstract

This study focused on occupational hazards associated with PABOD Brewery Company in Port Harcourt, in Rivers State. The descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the study. The sample size for this study was four hundred. Data was collected using a self-developed questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, mean and ANOVA test was used for testing the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The finding of the study showed a moderate level of occupational hazards associated with workers in PABOD Brewery Company. The tested hypotheses showed a significant difference between age of workers and occupational hazards in PABOD brewery company [F(16, 373) = 20.029; p<0.05], and a non-significant difference between employment status of workers and occupational hazards in PABOD brewery company [F(3, 386) = 1.948; p>0.05]. It was concluded that age influences occupational hazards, while employment status has a non-significant influence among workers in PABOD Brewery Company. It was recommended that the Federal Government, PABOD Brewery Company management and health agencies should identify factors that contribute to sources of occupational hazards and reduce the impact of occupational hazards such as providing more staff to adequately cover units in order to reduce physical and psychosocial hazards, providing clear and specific job description.

 Abstract

In this paper, we have seen that now days Construction industry is always trying to find new, better and economical material to manufacture new product, which is very beneficial to the industry. Today a significant growth is observed in the manufacture of composite material. With this energy conservation, corrosion risk, sustainability is important when a product is changed or new product is manufactures. Glass fibre (GF) is one of the high performance non-metallic fibres made by fusing (co-melting) silica with minerals. Glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) offers more characteristics such as light weight, good fire resistance and strength. In future it is very beneficial for construction industry. Many applications of glass fibre are residential, industrial, highway and bridges etc. Most of the studies preferred parameters like addition of glass fibres into the concrete with various proportions represented the positive as well as negative improvements in mechanical properties of concrete. However, the researchers could not exhibit the improvement in properties like compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, flexural strength, tensile strength, toughness, early age cracking etc. Even though these properties are important for desired quality of concrete, to overcome this, use of optimum percentage glass fibres in concrete. In present work different percentages of glass fibres were added for M-30 grade of concrete. The experimental study were carried out by casting the cubes in different proportions of glass fibres and glass fibre mesh and the results were obtained to find out optimum percentage of glass fibres. The glass fibres were added into the concrete in proportion of 0, 0.5 %, 1.0 % and 1.5 % by volume at an increment of 0.5 %. A comparative study of various experimental results was carried out.

Shaqeeqa (Migraine) causes severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head, associated with nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. This is also known as Sudae Nisfi, Adhasisi (Hemicrania), Sudae Ghasyani (Sick Headache). It has been estimated that the lifetime prevalence of migraine is about 20% in female and 6% in males. A classical migraine starts with prodrome of malaise, lethargy, vague yawning, giddiness followed by the aura of a focal neurological event, and then a severe throbbing unilateral headache associated with photophobia, nausea and vomiting. It may last for few hours to several days. Migraine variants are numerous in modern medicine but here in Unani, It is of two types shaqeeqa har (due to blood or bile) and shaqeeqa barid (due to phlegm or black bile) mainly. Unani physicians have described various etiologies of migraine in their manuscripts. Identification and avoidance of these causes and precipitating factors certainly cure the disease. Unani System of Medicine has broad range of treatment modalities viz Regimental therapy, Dietotherapy, Pharmacotherapy and surgery to eliminate shaqeeqa.

The Data Science is showing us the upward mark in terms of popularity, and efficiency in dealing with e-contents. The Natural Language Processing is playing vital role in e-content data manipulations. The reading of e-contents by the users is mostly preferred in their regional language, where numerous foreign and Indian Regional languages come in lime light. We are proposing a system which will lead students to get up-to-date recent Marathi e-news in summarized way, as it is the regional language of Maharashtra, India. It is observed that very less work has been done in Marathi language text summarization. This paper emphasises on the processing of e-news to get extractive summary.We have followed TextRank algorithm to get summary by providing ratio which will be the value between 0 and 1.

 Abstract

This paper presents the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines initiative towards the adherence to the Philippine Qualification Framework (PQF). The study articulated the struggle for academic and professional identity of industrial technology program in the absence of Policies, Standards and Guidelines from the Commission on Higher Education. Such predicament is also confronted with the gap between the levels of educational qualifications described in the PQF wherein the transition in the vocational education to the baccalaureate degrees is scrutinized. The objective of the initiative is to develop a technology-based programs in conjunction with the Outcomes-based Education and the PQF. The university followed the concept of Develop a Curriculum in the program development taking into consideration the inputs from the industry and other stakeholders at the same time emphasizing the differentiating characteristics of Sydney and Dublin Accords in the crafting of program outcomes in the course syllabus. A technology program continuum was also develop describing the transitional year level of technology programs offered in the university wherein the first three years are classified as Diploma program with yearly exit options. At the end of the three-year technician-based engagement the students may opt to proceed to the corresponding baccalaureate degrees in technology, teacher education and engineering or exit for employment. The outcome of the study resulted to the offering of five (5) technology programs that started in School Year 2018-2019 duly approved by the Board of Regents of the university.
