ABSTRACT
Abstract: Similar fundamentals such as geography, population, transport, trade and macro-policy may produce dynamics between commodity prices across cities. This study tested for the short-run dynamics between new home prices in Xi’an and Lanzhou. We used the Toda-Yamamoto technique, which does not depend on the property of unit root and cointegration. Data were monthly changes. The period is from 2006M01-2015M12. A feedback effect was suggested. In the short run, geographical diversification for housing properties can be achieved between these two Northwest China’s metropolises.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: Mediastinal lipomatosis is a rare condition characterised by a large amount of mature adipose tissue in the mediastinum. For 6 months, a case of dyspnea, breathlessness and cough, originally misdiagnosed as a case of right lower lobe pneumonia, was found to have mediastinal lipomatosis dependent on CT on further examination and validated with HPE association after excision. This case of ML occurred in the absence of steroid use, diabetes, the condition of Cushing. This case provides a major differential diagnosis of a patient with dyspnea. Potentially, this is one of the few instances of ML.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: Higher education institutions are expected to produce quality and competitive graduates for the job market and nation-building. In realizing this role, the Bukidnon State University needs to ensure that graduates may land a job-relevant and aligned with their education and training. With this, a tracer study was conducted to verify whether the three batches of graduates are employed and are employable. It ascertained their employability based on their work experience from graduation to the present job. It employed a cross-sectional method and data mining for the information of 326 graduates. The results revealed that the majority of graduates had jobs relevant to their education and training; yet, there was a significant difference in the employability of graduates across batches, except in terms of gender. Biological Science, Social Studies, and Math graduates were employable within the first six and twelve months compared to graduates from other curricula. It was claimed that the BukSU had prepared BSE graduates for employment. These results have implications for the strategic options in improving the programs. The study made some recommendations for future tracer initiatives.
