Health Condition of Elderly People at Dhurkot Rural Municipality in Gulmi District, Nepal

Aging is a gradual, continuous process of natural change that begins in early adulthood. The objective of the study was to analyse the health condition of elderly people atDhurkot Rural Municipality in Gulmi district. Purposively three wards were chosen for sample population. There were 930 elderly people aged 60 years and above who had received Old Age Allowance provided by the government of Nepal. A total of 280 elderly were interviewed. Finding shows that hill Dalit elderly people have better health condition than hill Brahmin elderly people [OR=.46(.26-.81)]. Elderly people who depended on agriculture labour were found to have better health condition than elderly who depended on their own agriculture [OR=.38(.19-.81)]. Elderly belonging to the age of 65-69 years had more good health condition than that of elderly people above 75 years and above [OR= .35(.15-.79)]. Elderly people work as a household work are two times more better health condition than who do agriculture work [OR=2.13(.95-4.47)]. Elderly people living with family without spouse are better health condition than elderly live alone [OR=.22(.07-.69)]. Likewise, elderly people living with spouse and family are better health condition than elderly people living alone [OR= .33(.1-1.03)]. Various health schemes, policies and programmes can be designed in the research area and similar settings based on the study findings.

An Improved QAA-Based Method for Monitoring Water Clarity of Honghu Lake Using Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI Data

Secchi disk depth (ZSD) is used to quantify water clarity as an important water-quality parameter, and one of the most used mechanistic models for ZSD is the quasi-analytical algorithm (QAA), of which the latest version is QAA_v6. There are two models in QAA for clear and turbid waters (referred to as QAA_clear and QAA_turbid). QAA_v6 switches between the two models by setting a threshold value for the remote sensing reflectance (Rrs, sr−1) at the selected reference band of 656 nm. However, some researchers found that this reference band or the threshold value does not apply to many turbid inland lakes. In Honghu Lake, the Rrs (656) (Rrs at 656 nm) in the whole lake is less than 0.0015 sr−1; therefore, only QAA_turbid can be applied. Moreover, we found that QAA_clear resulted in overestimation while QAA_turbid resulted in significant underestimations. The waters of inland lakes usually continuously vary between clear and turbid water. We proposed a hypothesis that QAA_turbid and QAA_clear transition evenly, rather than being distinguished by one threshold value, and we developed a model that combined QAA_clear and QAA_turbid according to our assumption. This model simulated the process of continuous change in water clarity. The results showed that our model had a better performance with an RMSE that reduced from 0.5 to 0.28, an MAE that reduced from 0.43 to 0.21, and bias that reduced from −0.4 to −0.05 m compared with QAA_v6. We applied QAA_Honghu to Landsat TM, ETM+, and OLI data and obtained 205 ZSD maps with high spatial resolution in Honghu Lake. The results were consistent with the existing in situ measurements. From 1987–2020, the ZSD results of Honghu Lake showed an overall downward trend and a distinct seasonal pattern.

Nonlinear Rail Accessibility and Road Spatial Pattern Effects on House Prices

The continuous change process in the impact of differences in public transport accessibility has not been explained specifically in previous studies. This study reveals that the interaction between two continuous explanatory variables has a significant impact on the explained variable in the hedonic model. The study takes the accessibility variable in the house price model as an instance, dividing the accessibility variable of the residential community into two parts. The first part is the rail accessibility defined by the Euclidean distance from the residential community to the nearest rail transportation station. The second part is the road accessibility defined by two Space Syntax indicators, connectivity and carrying capacity, according to the spatial pattern of the road network. As demonstrated by the spatial interactive regression model, this research finds that road connectivity has a significant regulating effect on the impact of the distance to the closest rail station on house prices based on the empirical evidence from Fuzhou, China.

Temporal Trends of Intravenous Thrombolysis Utilization in Acute Ischemic Stroke in a Prospective Cohort From 1998 to 2019: Modeling Based on Joinpoint Regression.

IntroductionThe frequency of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is lower than it should be in several regions of the world. It is unclear what interventions can produce significant improvements in IVT utilization. We aimed to investigate the temporal trends in IVT in AIS and identify changes in time that could be associated with specific interventions.MethodsWe included patients with AIS who were admitted from January 1998 to December 2019 in our institution. To analyze trends in utilization and time points in which they changed, we performed a Joinpoint regression analysis. Interventions were assigned to a specific category according to the Behavior Change Wheel framework intervention function criteria.ResultsA total of 3,361 patients with AIS were admitted, among which 538 (16%) received IVT. There were 245 (45.5%) women, and the mean age and median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were 68.5 (17.2) years and 8 (interquartile range, 4–15), respectively. Thrombolysis use significantly increased by an average annual 7.6% (95% CI, 5.1–10.2), with one Joinpoint in 2007. The annual percent changes were.45% from 1998 to 2007 and 9.57% from 2007 to 2019, concurring with the stroke code organization, the definition of door-to-needle times as an institutional performance measure quality indicator, and the extension of the therapeutic window.ConclusionsThe IVT rates consistently increased due to a continuous process of protocol changes and multiple interventions. The implementation of a complex multidisciplinary intervention such as the stroke code, as well as the definition of a hospital quality control metric, were associated with a significant change in this trend.

Global cooperation of supporting academic activities of the universities in the context of Sustainable Development Goals

The modern paradigm of education requires a rethinking of the mission of universities and their role for social, economic and knowledge-intensive development of states. The main research is based on fundamental developments in pedagogy, philosophy of education, management of education and educational process, in particular on humanistic pedagogy, effective methodology of educational process, anthropological pedagogy, internationalization and globalization of higher education. Different forms of global cooperation viewed as a standard are vital for the overall thinking, environmental, economic and social dimension. Almost every developed country has extensive experience in building a system of higher education. The results of the analysis of this experience can contribute to the development and enrichment of the domestic education system, avoid the recurrence of mistakes and the opportunity to discover new approaches to solving a number of problems in this area. Universities should be able to go through a smooth, continuous process of change that ensures the effectiveness of the university’s research activities and provides resources for teaching and learning. This requires rethinking the idea of change from decision-making to perspective, which perceives change as a new reality and builds an institutional culture based on change.

ЦИФРОВА ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ ПІДПРИЄМНИЦЬКОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ В КОНТЕКСТІ ЕКОНОМІКИ ЗНАНЬ НА ПРИНЦИПАХ СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОСТІ

The processes of digitalization of business activity based on the principles of social responsibility require thorough research and are critically important for stabilizing crisis phenomena and restoring the growth of the domestic economy in the face of military aggression. The transformation of entrepreneurial activity in the conditions of the digital economy is expressed in changes in the external and internal environment of the enterprise. In this context, the most important task facing managers and owners of enterprises is the development of the knowledge sector and the direction of investments in this area to maintain it at the level of world standards. The consequence of the digitalization of economic and social life will be the development of the concept of a single information space and the formation of a single information field as an integrated network organism. In the context of the conducted research, it was proved that the digital transformation of enterprises led to a continuous process of changes and transformation of factors of the market environment, the emergence of new niches and technological opportunities for the implementation of conceptual management tasks, which contributed to the emergence of a new type of entrepreneurship - digital entrepreneurship, which will allow expanding the financial capabilities of enterprises, restore and stabilize own activities, implement socially responsible projects. It is emphasized that managers and owners of enterprises understand the essence of digital entrepreneurship and its differences from physical forms of business organization, allowing to effectively use all the advantages of digital activity. The article suggests supplementing the first stage of the enterprise's digital transformation with the formation of further directions, conducting an audit of the current state of readiness for digital transformation, analyzing customer needs, setting goals and determining priorities for digital development, and providing means for digital transformation. It is emphasized that with the help of the analysis of readiness for digital transformation, the enterprise will be able to determine and provide an assessment of its digital maturity and build an effective model for implementing changes in the enterprise. The need to take into account the social activity of business representatives in the direction of supporting the Armed Forces, employees, the population, volunteer organizations, resuming the work of companies, fulfilling obligations to the budget will allow to overcome the crisis and restore the country's economy. Activation of digital transformation processes will allow representatives of domestic business structures to stabilize their own activities and strengthen the social responsibility of business during wartime.

Arapça Sözcük Türetme Yollarına Genel Bir Bakış

In this study, the word formation methods used in Arabic were examined. The aim of the study is to eliminate the deficiency in this field by considering the word derivation ways in Arabic holistically. Another aim of the study is to provide the recognition of new methods in addition to the known methods by addressing some methods that are at the least not used. Within the scope of the study, firstly the words and their types were introduced and then the ways and examples of word formation were examined. Accordingly, the ways of word derivation seen in Arabic will be examined under the headings of reactionary, istiqâq, tarîb, naht, stereotyping (siyağa), ba'su'l-kelimât, reflection (esmâ al-aswat), analogy (tamsil) and borrowing (iqtirâz). were studied and examples of the words derived in these ways were given. As a result of the research, it has been seen that there is a great need to derive new words because the language undergoes a continuous development and change process. Especially today, in addition to the rapid development of science and technology, the interaction between societies and languages through the possibilities of communication and transportation has made it inevitable to derive new words and terms.

역사교사가 되어간다는 것은 무엇인가? -‘역사교사 되어가기’ 체험에 관한 현상학적 사례 연구-

This article is the result of researching a 34-year veteran teacher''s educational life by using phenomenological case study methods to find answers to the question of "What is it like to be a history teacher and what is the meaning of it?" As a result of the Kim YoHan teacher''s story, becoming a history teacher was a process of continuous change in teaching, learning, and behavior, a process of growing up together in a network of past and present agent. It was also a process of becoming a researcher on his own educational practice while creating his identity as a researcher. The story of becoming a history teacher derived from the Kim YoHan teacher''s educational life story reminds us that we need to think about what professionalism is in a fluid process of personal and collective reflective practice, away from fixed concepts such as pedagogical content knowledge. In particular, history teacher Kim YoHan demonstrated the possibility that applying an educational policy to suit one’s history class through the sense-making process, which is an active interpretative practice, could be an important professionality for a history teacher. The findings also indicated that exploring the common and distinct parts of historical researchers, historical education researchers, and historical teachers'' professionality would be an important task. because History teacher are good learners and researchers of their own teaching practice Based on this study, I suggested that Preservice history teacher training courses, history teacher certification tests, and history teacher retraining courses should all be considered as History Teacher’s "Bildung" courses to Facilitate reflect and design history teachers'' own curriculum. I hope that this study can help the history teacher to reflect on his or her educational life, or that the history education researchers inquiry the history teacher''s life itself.

Visualization Experimental Study on Well Spacing Optimization of SAGD with a Combination of Vertical and Horizontal Wells.

For oil sand reservoirs, the steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) technique is one of the most efficient thermal recovery technologies. However, the high oil viscosity and the severe heat loss seriously affect the production effect of SAGD in developing thin oil sand reservoirs by the traditional SAGD technology. Therefore, it is essential to improve the SAGD technology to enhance the recovery of the thin oil sand reservoir. In this paper, SAGD with a combination of vertical and horizontal well (VH-SAGD) technology was adopted, and the influence of different well spacings (horizontal distance between vertical steam injection wells and horizontal production wells) on the development of steam chambers was investigated. By the similarity criterion, the experimental parameters were obtained. After that, an improved 2D visualization physical model was designed with 9 × 9 high-precision thermocouples installed inside the device to monitor the real-time temperature. This experimental physical model can not only accurately capture the temperature distribution but also display the continuous change process of the chamber inside the model by the visible window. Finally, different well spacing cases (10, 15, and 20 cm) were tested to observe the development of the steam chamber and analyze the production data. Both the temperature distribution and visual window showed that the steam chamber has four obvious stages, and reasonable well spacing can promote the development of the steam chamber. When the well spacing is relatively small, the unswept area of the cold oil on both sides is large, and the area of the steam chamber overlaps more. When the well spacing is relatively moderate, the steam chamber is the most complete and the recovery factor is the highest. When the well spacing is relatively large, although the unswept area of the cold oil on both sides is small, the middle cold oil area is larger than the previous two groups. Therefore, the best well spacing for oil sand reservoirs of about 15 m thickness is 15–20 m, where the VH-SAGD method has a better displacement effect and higher oil recovery. The experimental conclusions can provide theoretical support for the production of thin oil sand reservoirs.

Trends and types of rural residential land use change in China: A process analysis perspective

AbstractThe rapid socio‐economic transformation is triggering tremendous land use transitions in China. It raises the need to explore the continuous process of land use change, which sheds light on rural revitalization. To depict the process of rural residential land use change in the transition period in China, we propose a four‐stage model of rural residential land use change and then apply the function fitting method to explore the spatial‐temporal change and type characteristics of rural residential land using a dataset of 339 cities from 2009 to 2016. We find that: (1) The change of rural residential land involves four stages—the Primary Stage (PS), the Rapid Development Stage (RDS), the Decelerated Development Stage (DDS), and the Transition Stage (TS). (2) From 2009 to 2016, 47.2% and 28.9% of the researched cities remained in RDS and DDS, respectively, and only 23.9% of the cities entered TS. (3) The high proportion of RDS cities and a significant increment of DDS cities reveal a high potential in the intensive use of rural land. These findings provide scientific guidance for land use policies, such as establishing and improving the unified land market between urban and rural areas, reinforcing the essential land management and policy implementation, and exploring the multi‐mode of comprehensive consolidation of rural residential land.

Digital portfolio: a tool for learning physics

The digital portfolio is a student-student, student-teacher interaction tool where formative assessment plays an important role in the learning of physics, with which the progress of students is monitored, the entire training process is evaluated and supported of the student, according to the planning and contents of the physics course. Therefore, this article describes the use of the digital portfolio as a tool for learning in students of a teacher training program in natural sciences and environmental education at a public university in Colombia. It is a quantitative study with a non-experimental design. The research subjects were students taking the subject of basic physics. The results indicate that students perceive the portfolio as a tool that allows monitoring and reflection of their learning and favor the integration of what they have learned, which supports the use of this tool, in accordance with the results of evaluation of the students’ formative process. However, the use of the portfolio requires a continuous process of change and innovation, monitoring and permanent feedback between the teacher and the students.

Genetic Algorithms Application in Urban Morphology Generation

Cities are described as living organisms. Cities have to change, transform and adapt to our daily life. Urban morphology is the most accurate definition to describe the changing process of cities, which occurred and will be occurred in our cities. The continuous changing process required a changeable generation system. The research introduces an Evolutionary design system (Genetic Algorithm) as the most suitable generation system dealing with this continuous changing process because it targets several design generations. Accordingly, the research aims to introduce and analysis several studies used genetic algorithm in urban Morphology application. Besides, reviewing the theoretical base of genetic algorithm and several computerized generation systems used in cities generation. This paper introduces fourteen highly cited studies to analyse the generation process and strategy. These studies will be compared to highlight the common and different aspects of the generation process. Finally, the research focuses on five studies to highlight the different applications of genetic algorithms in urban morphology generation.

Glabellar wrinkle correction by autologous fat transplantation and evidence of human adipose tissue regeneration in a nude mouse model.

Fat grafts are increasingly applied in augmenting soft tissue defects and correcting static wrinkles, but the outcome is always unpredictable because of high absorption rate. Perilipin1 (Plin1) and perilipin2 (Plin2), two perilipin family proteins on lipid droplets in adipocytes, are reported to be used as biomarkers to evaluate adipocyte regeneration in vivo. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of glabellar wrinkle correction with autologous fat grafting and to observe human adipose regeneration in a nude mouse model. Ten patients with 16 moderate or severe glabellar wrinkles underwent wrinkle correction by subcutaneously injecting autologous lipoaspirates obtained from the abdomen. The injection dose was 0.05ml per 5mm. The aspirated adipose tissue (0.05ml) was also injected under the scalps of nude mice. Fat grafts were explanted at 3, 7, 15, 30, and 120 days after transplantation and the dynamic cellular changes were evaluated by HE staining and immunostaining of Plin1 and Plin2. Among the sixteen wrinkle lines, thirteen were obviously improved 4 months after procedure. Eight of the ten patients were satisfied with their wrinkle correction effects. The fat grafts demonstrated a continuous changing process from degeneration to regeneration in the mouse model without significant absorption and necrosis. It was Plin1, not Plin2 that was expressed in mature adipocytes. After transplantation, Plin1 expression was lost in dead fat cells while Plin2 expression was activated in newly regenerated adipocytes. After 120 days, all the surviving adipocytes were negative for Plin2 but positive for Plin1 again. Micro-volume fat transplantation was an easy and safe method to improve glabellum wrinkle lines, and the regenerative process of human adipose tissue could be verified in the mouse model.

Physical and Mental Health Problems of Elderly People at Nagarjun Municipality in Kathmandu

Aging is a gradual, continuous process of natural change that begins in early adulthood. The objective of the study is to analyse the physical and mental health problems of elderly people in Nagarjun Municipality, Kathmandu. Ward number 6 is selected randomly among the 10 wards which has 680 elderly people aged 60+. Yamene formula (n=N/1+Ne2) was used to determine the sample size (n=250) and applied systematic random sampling method to select the samples. Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS version 21.0. The most prevalent chronic illness in this study was joint pain (67.20%), followed by Gastrointestinal (51.10%) and Hypertension or BP (39.60%). By using logistic regression analysis it shows that the variable of ownership of land certificate has the strongest net association with [OR=2.06(1.18-3.59)] and other variable involvement in the social and religious organization has the second strongest association with [OR=1.77(0.99-3.17)]. Study shows that elderly who do not have ownership of the land certificate have more than two times mental health problems than who have land certificate. Various health schemes, policies and programs can be designed in the research area and similar setting based on the study findings.

The Application of the Innovative Approaches in Communication and the Educational Processes

The influence and impact of innovations in a society is not identical and some innovations penetrate a society more radically: the influence of others may only be incremental. For example, in tourism a radical impact on marketing communication processes has come with the development of ICT technologies. Johanesson et al. (2001), Dosi (1982) associated revolutionary change with radical innovation, and the process of continual change and implementation of novelty considered as incremental innovation. Despite a more radical character, incremental innovations stem from market needs and are strategically easier to proceed with because a process of the implementation can be planned. The article will deal with the concepts of the innovative social technologies and their application in the teaching process. It means the study of successful cases, where the clusters of intelligence based on the diffusion of knowledge and the co-operation and mutual communication and partnership of the educational institutions with the innovative businesses.

Perspektif Calon Guru Pendidikan Jasmani Terhadap Pembelajaran Online Selama Pandemi Covid-19

Currently, the higher education system is in a continuous process of change. There is a change paradigm in learning that is nowadays being carried out online, or what is commonly known as e-learning. The purpose of this study was to discover college students perspective of e-learning that have been applied. An online survey with a semi-structured questionnaire was conducted on 177 (M: 112; F: 65) college students of the Physical Education, Health and Recreation Departement, Faculty of Teacher Training, Sriwijaya University. The results show that 70.06% of students liked the application of e-learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, but on the next semester, 63.84% of students wanted face-to-face (offline) learning. This is because 67.79% & 69.49% of students stated that there were lack of interaction with lecturers and classmates in the application of e-learning, although 64.41% of students think that the application of e-learning can increase their learning independency. The contradiction in the results of the study shows, only when an extraordinary event (pandemic) occurs, the application of e-learning becomes a priority to do, but if the situation returns to normal, students prefer faceto-face (offline) learning. This is because students are accustomed to practice in the field as a PE teacher candidate.

Новият стадий на икономическо развитие

Argumentation is presented for the emergence of a new stage in the development of national economies along with the global technology change and the new social and economic performance challenges. Theoretically, this notion is developed applying Hegel’s ideas of economic and social development. In this regard, economic development is defined as a continuous process of change, the quantitative accumulation of which leads to a new stage with а qualitatively different goal, subject and mechanism for achieving it. Arguments for transition to a new stage of economic development are drawn from the analysis of contemporary concepts of innovative development, knowledge economy, circular economy and digitalization of the economy. They are associated with the application of new indicators for targets of economic development and new methodologies for collecting and interpreting new appearances in the real economy. The article also provides arguments for the transition to a new stage of economic development from the practice of the EU concerning the development and monitoring policies for achieving new goals. This is accompanied by rethinking the strategy and developing new alliances. The presented data show an unsatisfactory performance of the development of the Bulgarian economy among the EU member states. Following the above statements, it is assumed that it is necessary to rethink national strategy taking into account the challenges of transition to a new stage of economic development and opportunities, they provide for progressive development based on specifics national economy and identity of the society.

Evaluating core competencies in optimising performance of manufacturing industries

Organisations have to emphasis on core competency in order to stay competitive in market. Core competency is quite similar for all manufacturing organisations. Core competency helps the organisation to improve their performance parameter. As per literature, every organisation must spend on improving their core competency in order to gain an extra edge in the market. Core competency can be technical or management related. These core competencies can lead to an improved product, which may be a unique one. In the end every organisation should find their unique products that will help them to stay competitive in the market. Companies are involved in a continuous process of change in order to renew capabilities and achieve a competitive advantage in a hyper competitive setting. The key is to own and nurture the resources and competencies that make up the essence of the business.
