Hard and Soft Skills Self-Assessment Relationship with Satisfaction of Graduates

This paper presents the results of a survey of 299 bachelor\u27s degree graduates of Business Administration and Management programs of Mongolian University of Science and Technology conducted in May 2023. In the survey, graduates were asked to assess the knowledge and skills they have obtained during their bachelor\u27s degree studies, university facilities, extracurricular activities, and subsequent career growth. The knowledge and skills acquired by the graduates were grouped into 2 groups by factor analysis: soft and hard skills. University facility indicators are also grouped into 2 factors: the first one includes physical facilities and student services, and the second is teaching and organization. Graduates’ self-assessment of soft skills is higher than that of hard skills, but it was found that hard skills have a greater influence on satisfaction ratings. Hard skills were found to be more related to teaching and management. The amount of the salary at the time of the survey and the graduation date, are found to have no statistically insignificant relationship with graduates’ satisfaction level

Clinical Characteristics of Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy With Hippocampal Sclerosis and Temporal Lobe Epilepsies Due to Other Etiologies

Objectives: This study compared the clinical characteristics of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (mTLE-HS) to patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) due to other etiologies. Methods: In this prospective study, all patients with a clinical diagnosis of TLE were recruited at “Sanus’’ outpatient neurological clinic from June 2016 to June 2017. We took note if patients had mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) (if they had clear signs of MTS and/or atrophy in their MRI) or any other MRI abnormality. Results: A total of 88 patients (36 patients with mTLE-HS and 52 patients with TLE due to other etiologies) were included in this study. High frequency of seizure (p<0.05), oroalimentary automatism (p<0.05), postictal nose wiping (p<0.001), and absence of psychomotor automatism (p<0.05) were commonly seen in patients with mTLE-HS, while vertiginous auras (p<0.05) was more frequently seen in those with TLE due to other etiologies. Conclusion: Clinical characteristics of patients with mTLE-HS were high frequency of seizure, oroalimentary automatism, postictal nose wiping, and absence of psychomotor automatism, while vertiginous auras was more frequent in those with TLE due to other etiologies

Identifying the monasteries and temples with mamba dastan and treasure house, established before the 20th century in Ömnögovi aimag

Researchers of traditional Mongolian medicine have been intensively studying the number of Mamba datsan (Medical schools) with treasure houses called Manal jas, Otoch jas, and Mamba jas that existed in Mongolia before the 20th century. In addition, research works have been underway to identify the names of the repressed lama doctors and maarambas since 1937 and to study their biographies and medical works. Within the framework of this research work, we conducted a study for the first time to identify the old Mamba datsan and monasteries with treasure houses of the Manal, Otoch, and Mamba established in Ömnögovi aimag, one of Mongolia’s 21 Aimags. In conducting this study, we first compiled a list of the number of Mamba datsan, treasure houses of the Manal, Otoch, and Mamba of the monasteries and temples established in Ömnögovi aimag. After that, the GPS navigation determines the geographical coordinates of the monasteries and temples also their location in real-time, including latitude and longitude, at the current time. Then, a 1:650000 scale map of the area was drawn and processed. Finally, the map of the monastery with the Mamba datsan, treasure houses of the Manal, Otoch, and Mamba, was taken and verified, and the date of its establishment, description, and the names, biographies, and works of some lama doctors and maarambas who lived in the monastery were clarified. Conclusion: In the territory of present-day Ömnögovi aimag, 22 old monasteries and 24 temples established since the mid 20th century were identified, and a new 1:650,000 scale map of their location was drawn, creating the opportunity to use them in future training and research.

Identification of COPD Phenotypes and BODE Index of Mongolian Miners

Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between COPD phenotypes and the BODE index. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 99 patients with COPD. COPD was classified using HRCT into the three morphological phenotypes. Lung function was analyzed by spirometry and the BODE index (Body-mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea, and Exercise) was calculated. Results: According to the survey, 53 (53.5%) patients had A phenotype, 31 (31.3%) had a M phenotype, and 15 (15.1%) had a E phenotype. Emphysema type has higher BODE index scores. BODE index scores increased significantly with increasing severity of COPD according to the GOLD classification (P<.001). Conclusion: BODE index scores were increased in associating with severity of COPD. Emphysema type COPD has a worse BODE scores than others

Paradigm shift in traditional Mongolian medicine in the 18th century

As Thomas Kuhn stated in his book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions", revolution is an example of advanced science made by a successful paradigm shift from one to another. At that time, Kuhn's idea was a revolution in itself, becoming the primary method for scientific change. It became a basis for science paradigm policy shift and since, has been a model for gradual reform. Identifying and incorporating this model into the countries' scientific policy and reform is extremely important. The applicability of the used model can be judged by the outcomes resulting in the paradigm shift. By the way, not every scientific progress results in revolution. However, we would like to note that a laggard period with weak mental development is ended by an intellectual outburst. In other words, although in the 17th century, Mongols accepted Tibetan medicine within the framework of the "Four Medical Tantras" with recognition and common scientific mind, later in the 18th century, they thought beyond the box of the "Four Medical Tantras" and created the opportunity to develop a new paradigm. This shift made a valuable contribution to the establishment of, in a broader sense, Mongolian medicine and, in a narrow sense, traditional Mongolian medicine
