Authors: Rimal Anurag , Karki Diksha , Shrestha Shirsak Deep , Poudel Ajita , Koirala Akshika , Koirala Naba Raj
Published: February 2025

Background: Despite mental health being vital for coping with life’s challenges, achieving potential, and supporting community well-being, many Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), including Nepal, still rely on institutional rather than community care. Studies have shown that adolescents, facing rapid changes and mental health challenges, benefit greatly from early intervention in schools, through the training of school health nurses in mental health.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mental health training on knowledge, attitudes, and practices of school health nurses in Koshi Province, Nepal.
Methods: A prospective, Descriptive Pre- and Post-test study amongst five batches of Government School Health Nurses was conducted over three weeks, using a non-probability, convenience sampling method. Data were collected using semi-structured forms and structuredquestionnaires. The available data analysed using descriptive statistics, paired t-tests for comparing pre and post-training results, and regression analysis.Results: The mean post-test scores (47.28) were significantly higher than pre-test scores (37.28), indicating effective training. The study population was normally distributed, and a moderate correlation (0.661) between pre- and post-test scores demonstrates consistent improvement. The difference between scores was statistically significant (p<0.000), and effect size analysis confirmed a substantial positive impact.
Conclusion: Mental health training for nurses significantly strengthens healthcare systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries facing rural disparities. This study advocates for expanding these programs and underscores the need for systemic support to maintain progress, highlighting school nurses' crucial role in sustainable, effective healthcare.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Senior citizens are one of the most vulnerable groups in Nepalese society. Loneliness and stress among senior people are on the rise due to a lack of dependable caregivers and unmet medical and emotional needs. However, some elders may have better coping strategies based on their life experiences and physical/mental well-being. The objective of our study was to assess the stress and coping strategies among elderly people residing in government and private geriatric centers in Central Nepal.
Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the 54 respondents selected conveniently from two geriatric centers in Devghat, Nepal. The centers were Devghat Samaj Kalyan Kendra, a government geriatric center, and Devghat NRNA Briddashram, a private geriatric center.
Results: Results show that 51.9% of the seniors living in the facilities had moderate levels of stress while 1.8% of respondents reported high levels of stress. The most commonly used coping strategies included self-distraction followed by the use of positive reframing and religion. Among the elders living in government and private geriatric centers, a significant difference was observed in behavioral disengagement (p-value 0.003). However, no significant correlation was seen between the perceived stress scale score and overall coping score (p-value 0.08) among the respondents.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that respondents in private geriatric center display more stress than the respondents in government geriatric center.

Published: February 2025

In Rastriya Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Banke district, Rampur, there was a sudden onset of conversion disorder affecting 53 students, most of them were school going young girls. The event started when a female student in exam hall was shaking, mumbling and had her hair covering her face. Such behaviors were rampant soon and over 30 students were exhibiting similar symptoms including tremors, shouting spells and abdomen pain. This led to immediate response from the school authorities together and we reached there after a call from the school authority. We isolated the affected students and observed, examined and found that they exhibited signs of mass hysteria rather than any organic disease.
This communication shares the response strategies used to manage this outbreak effectively and also highlights the necessity of early intervention, mental health support and resilience building strategies to deal and prevent the mass hysteria in school setting.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of cardiovascular disease. Depression and anxiety are common in people with CAD and are associated with worse cardiac outcomes and quality of life.
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depression, and to find the effect of anxiety and depression on the quality of life in patients with CAD visiting cardiology outpatient at Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Center, Tribhuvan University from November 2019 to October 2020.
Materials and Methods: The study was a cross-sectional design comprising a total sample size of 96. Socio-demographic and clinical profiles were obtained using a semi-structured proforma. A validated Nepali version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess anxiety and depression. ICD-10 DCR was further used to categorize anxiety and depressive disorders. Quality of life was assessed using WHOQOL-BREF.
Results: The majority of the participants were of the age group 40-64 years (61.5%) were male (70%) and had a diagnosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (57.3%). Anxiety disorder was present in 27.1% and depressive disorder in 20.9% of patients with CAD. The WHO-QOL-BREF scores were significantly negatively correlated with the HADS A score across domain one (p<0.05) and domain two (p<0.05) and also negatively correlated with the HADS D score across all four domains(p<0.05).
Conclusion: A significant proportion of patients with coronary artery disease suffer from anxiety and depression. The presence of comorbid anxiety and depression significantly affects their quality of life.

Authors: Jha Amit , Karki Utkarsh , Sharma Anil , Gurung Bhupendra Singh
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Tic disorders encompass a spectrum of involuntary, repetitive movements or sounds, varying in complexity and severity, affecting individuals across different age groups. Tourette's disorder specifically presents as a neurological condition characterized by multiplemotor and vocal tics lasting for more than a year, often accompanied by other behavioral or mental health conditions.
Methods: The study examines tic disorders in a group of 10 children under 14 at the child and adolescent mental health unit of Kanti Children’s Hospital. It utilized the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale- Revised (YGTSS-R) to comprehensively analyse this neuro-developmental disorder, exploring various tic manifestations, complexities, and their impact. Further Rutter’s multi-axial diagnoses was used for multidimensional assessment in understanding tic disorders comprehensively.
Results: The children in our study had both simple and complex motor tics, with a contrast between the types of motor and vocal tic symptoms. Using multi-axial diagnosis specific co-morbidities were also identified in our study cohort. Correlations between socio-demographicfactors and clinical profiles were inconclusive in this limited sample.
Conclusion: The detailed assessment provided insights into tic characteristics, advocating for tailored treatment modalities like pharmacological interventions, psychoeducation, habit reversal therapy, and cognitive behavioral interventions. The study emphasizes the necessity for comprehensive assessments and individualized interventions to address the varied manifestations and impacts of tic disorders in affected children.

Published: February 2025

The blue sheep and Himalayan thar were counted using the vantage count method to obtain population and demographic status in Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, western Nepal between April and May of 2021. We used binoculars (Olympus 10 × 50 and Nikon 10 × 42) and spotting scopes (Nikon 20–60 × 75 and Bushnell 20–60 × 65) for identifying the animals into class and sex categories. A total of 1290 blue sheep were counted in six hunting blocks of DHR with an apparent density of 2.2 animals/km2 in 79 herds (mean heard size: 16.33 ± 1.53). Maximum numbers of blue sheep were recorded from Dogadi (n=361) and low numbers in Sundaha block (n=89). We found a significant difference in the average herd size of blue sheep among the six blocks, possibly due to human-induced disturbances as some blocks are relatively accessible and closer to human settlements. However, there was no significant difference in the average male and female sex ratio and density between hunting blocks. Similarly, a total of 744 Himalayan tahr were observed in six hunting blocks with an apparent density of 1.49 animal/km2 in 50 herds (mean heard size: 14.88±2.29). Maximum numbers of tahr were recorded from Ghustung (n=387) and low numbers in Surtibang block (n=12). We found a significant difference in the average herd size of Himalayan tahr and male to female sex ratio, but not a significant difference in density between hunting blocks. Regular study of population dynamics in the context of trophy hunting is very crucial. Thus, annual surveys of these game species are recommended for designing sustainable game trophy hunting in the region.
Overview of status and conservation of Bengal florican Houbaropsis bengalensis in Nepal

Published: February 2025

Bengal florican Houbaropsis bengalensis is a globally Critically Endangered bustard species found in South and Southeast Asia. In Nepal it is rare, local and declining, and only breeds in three disjunct protected areas in the lowlands: Shuklaphanta and Chitwan National Parks (NPs), and Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve and adjoining areas. Declines of Bengal florican in all these protected areas are well documented. Populations decreased by 93% in Shuklaphanta NP between 1982 and 2024; by 75% in Chitwan NP between 1982 and 2023, and by 55% in Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve and adjoining areas between 2012 and 2022. The Nepal population is now considered to be less than 100 birds. The species formerly bred in Bardia NP but has not been recorded there since 2010. Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve and surrounding areas now support by far the largest population in Nepal. The best habitats for the species in the breeding season comprise areas of short grassland dominated by Imperata cylindrica where the birds can forage in the early mornings and evenings, interspersed with patches of taller grassland for concealment and nesting. Reasons for the species’ decline in the breeding season are thought to be inappropriate grassland management, especially burning when the birds have started nesting, disturbance, and encroachment of some grasslands by woody vegetation. Outside the breeding season, when the Bengal florican moves from protected areas into nearby unprotected farmlands, the species is further at risk from hunting, trapping, pesticide poisoning and disturbance. We recommend improving grassland management, working with local communities, encouraging multi-season crops in nearby farmlands which are less intensive and less disturbing for Bengal florican, raising conservation awareness with stakeholders, and regular monitoring.
Spatiotemporal variation in human-wildlife interactions: Evidence from forest edges of Khata Corridor, Bardia, western Nepal
Authors: Raut Sweccha , Hengaju Krishna Dev , Pradhan Narendra Man Babu , Sapkota Ramesh Prasad
Published: February 2025

Extensive modification of natural forest habitat for economic and social requirements can put humans and animals in a juxtaposition, encouraging them to vie for the common resources, resulting in conflicts. Very little is known about the wildlife response in different categories of forest edges. We analyzed the relation between the different types of forest edges, viz. agriculture, grassland, river, human trail, and the type of negative human-wildlife interaction (NHWI) inflicted at the Khata Corridor of Bardia District, western Nepal. We collected the GPS position of NHWI incidents, conflicting animals, and the time of incidents, NHWI type, and edge type from field records, secondary literatures and interview of witnesses. We analyzed the distribution of NHWI incidents concerning different land-use types across forest edges. We observed a significant relationship between conflict animals and the type of edges, and NHWI types and conflict animals. Our observation showed significant species-specific interaction with forest edge types, where the elephant was mainly associated with agricultural damage, the leopard (Panthera pardus) with livestock predation, while the tiger's pattern of conflict was less in count but the cause for human injuries and livestock predation, and often linked to human settlement proximity. The temporal dimensions of NHWI showed elephants active mainly in the late evening until early morning hours, tigers in the late afternoon and nighttime, and leopards mostly at dusk until early morning. Agricultural forest edge was most susceptible towards NHWI. The negative human-leopard interaction was also higher in agriculture land, but proportionately higher in diverse edge type compared to other species. The analysis showed the highest density of NHWI in the areas with small forest patches and fragmented forests. We suggest forest landscapes to be managed maintaining intactness at the larger spatial extent to reduce NHWI, and support co-existence of wildlife and adjacent local communities.
„Martwa” natura – nieposłuszne (nie)ekfrazy w wierszach juwenilnych Juliana Kornhausera
Authors: Piotrowska-Grot Magdalena
Published: February 2025

Celem artykułu jest analiza oraz próba zaklasyfikowania dwóch juwenilnych tekstów Juliana Kornhausera – Martwa natura z kompotierką (Bernard Buffet) oraz Guernica (Pablo Picasso) – które nawiązują do dzieł malarskich. Właśnie obrazom w twórczości autora Origami warto poświęcić chwilę uwagi, malarstwo pozostaje bowiem niezwykle ważnym źródłem odniesień tekstów Kornhausera. Wybrane do analizy przykłady nie mieszczą się jednak w definicyjnych ramach ekfrazy czy hypotypozy. Co ważne, prowadzą do odkrycia poetyckich powiązań Kornhausera z surrealizmem, głównie w wydaniu Bretonowskim, pozwalają więc na odnalezienie drogowskazów interpretacyjnych, które okazują się niezwykle pomocne w trakcie lektury kolejnych, zwłaszcza publikowanych w latach siedemdziesiątych, wierszy i powieści autora Zjadaczy kartofli. Interpretacja wierszy juwenilnych uprawnia więc do poszukiwania w tej twórczości eksperymentów, które nie tylko wymykają się metodologicznym dookreśleniom, lecz także stanowią dowód na korelacje poezji Kornhausera z poetykami awangardowymi.
Weryfikacja członków Polskiej Zjednoczonej Partii Robotniczej w województwie katowickim w latach 1957–1958 (na tle ogólnopolskiej kampanii)
Authors: Dziuba Adam
Published: February 2025

W 1957 roku w Polskiej Zjednoczonej Partii Robotniczej (PZPR) zakończono wewnętrzne dyskusje, a jej kierownictwo skupiło się na integracji organizacji wokół ustalonej w październiku 1956 roku doktryny. Władze centralne partii przystąpiły do walki z działaczami kwestionującymi nową linię partii – zarówno z dogmatykami atakującymi ją jako odchodzącą od komunizmu, jak i z rewizjonistami, oczekującymi dalej idących reform. Kierownictwo PZPR jesienią 1957 roku zdecydowało także o przeprowadzeniu kampanii przeciwko działaczom skonfliktowanym z prawem, skorumpowanym i zdemoralizowanym. Rozpoczęto generalną weryfikację członków wedle kryteriów ideologicznych i moralnych. Akcja weryfikacyjna trwała do pierwszych miesięcy 1958 roku i skończyła się usunięciem z PZPR niespełna 20% członków. W województwie katowickim czystka trwała najdłużej, a w jej rezultacie partię opuściło ponad 30 tys. osób, czyli ponad 20% członków. Dane wskazują, że działaczy pozbawionych legitymacji z przyczyn ideowych było niespełna 10%, skonfliktowanych z prawem zaś niewiele ponad 3%. Największy odsetek usuniętych z szeregów partii – prawie 72% – stanowili członkowie bierni lub skreśleni na własną prośbę.

Authors: Dagar Reetika , Shrotiya Khushi
Published: February 2025

This research explores strategies to integrate LGBTI workers into workplaces while addressing discrimination and fostering inclusion. Workplace diversity and inclusivity are critical for enhancing employee morale, innovation, and organizational performance, yet LGBTI employees often face unique challenges, including bias, harassment, and limited representation. To address these issues, this study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, interviews, and case studies from inclusive organizations globally. Findings reveal key barriers to inclusion, such as the absence of comprehensive anti-discrimination policies, cultural resistance, and limited training on LGBTI issues. However, organizations that implement targeted measures, including anti-discrimination policies, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and unconscious bias training, demonstrate significant improvements in fostering an inclusive environment. Furthermore, visible leadership support and structured mentorship programs are highlighted as essential components for successful integration. This research emphasizes the importance of tailored inclusivity strategies, balancing global standards with sensitivity to local cultural contexts. The study concludes with actionable recommendations for organizations to promote equity, including the development of inclusive policies, regular diversity training, and the establishment of safe spaces. By addressing these challenges, organizations can unlock the full potential of their workforce, creating a culture of respect and belonging for all employees.

GENDER IDENTITY AS A LEGAL CATEGORY
Authors: Horniczak Klaudyna
Published: February 2025

This paper explores evolving gender identity definitions in both social and legal contexts. Traditionally, gender was defined based on visible anatomical features. However, contemporary perceptions acknowledge the significance of gender identity, which may not align with sex assigned at birth. Many legal systems, including the Polish one, still rely on binary gender classifications based on anatomy, while the legal concept of gender identity remains underdefined. The ambiguity regarding legal gender identity calls for a solution that draws from extensive non-legal literature on the topic, to offer a more informed legal understanding. The redefined legal concept of gender should fulfil three key criteria: it should be clear, align with current scientific knowledge, and advance trans rights as well as gender equality. In the paper, three non-legal approaches to defining gender identity – materialist, externalist, and internalist – will be examined; and their potential application in the legal context based on the above-mentioned criteria will be assessed.
ENVIRONMENTAL RULE OF LAW IN LIGHT OF GLOBAL REPORTS ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL RULE OF LAW
Authors: Kenig-Witkowska Maria Magdalena
Published: February 2025

The concept of environmental rule of law is genetically placed in the context of broader rule-of-law principles. Similarly to the general concept of the rule of law, the environmental rule of law focuses on fair, clear and implementable environmental laws; public participation in decision-making; access to justice; access to information; accountability and integrity of institutions and decision-makers; clear and coordinated mandates and roles across and within institutions; accessible, fair and timely dispute resolution mechanisms; recognition of the mutually reinforcing relationship between human rights and environment. All of these elements of the environmental rule of law were in some way assessed in the First Global Report on Environmental Rule of Law (2019), (hereafter as the First Report) and in the second report – Environmental Rule of Law: Tracking Progress and Charting Future Directions (2023), (hereafter as the Second Report), which undoubtedly has contributed to the systemic approach to the environmental rule of law.

Authors: Pawelec Szymon
Published: February 2025

The present work is devoted to selected issues concerning respect for the rule of law in the sphere of regulation of economic activity through substantive and procedural criminal law and the increasing level of interference of penal solutions in this field. Remarks of a general nature concerning the requirements of systemic coherence and non-contradiction with fundamental guarantee requirements, primarily relating to the principle of the right to defence and its derivatives, are combined with a presentation of the issue of using the results of internal investigations for the purposes of criminal cases. This relatively new construction which is gaining international popularity provides vivid examples of how new instruments used for the purpose of combating economic crime can undermine the fundamental protective rules of the criminal process.

Living in cities imposes a rapid lifestyle subject to the laws and requirements of living in them, as the latter provide the needs of their inhabitants in varying proportions, and city centres are considered the most important living areas. Through this article, we will try to know the relationship between the quality of urban life and the centralized living areas through a field investigation where 50 questionnaires were distributed to the inhabitants of Souika with the help of two elementary schools. After transcribing and analysing the results, it was found that despite the weight of the historical past in every detail of its corners and the services it provides through it or through its surroundings, and despite the deteriorating state of its built framework, which has negatively affected the inhabitants in many aspects of their daily lives, it is still for them the preferred living framework that fulfils their needs and makes them comfortable and satisfied them and shows their attachment to it and their sense of belonging. This is what makes the overall centrality of the old city, including the historical one, not opposed to achieving the quality of urban life in this particular living framework.

Afghan Migrant Women in Politics: Overcoming Barriers to Civic Participation in Host Countries
Authors: Nawaz Haris
Published: February 2025

The study investigates systemic restrictions blocking Afghan migrant women from engaging in political processes in Germany, the USA, and Iran. Wearers of cultural limitations through gender regulations face language complexity while traditional social requirements maintain women in classic marginalization while institutional processes enact discriminatory rules and lack of political participation barriers prevent civic engagement. The analysis demonstrates how patriarchal structures, along with built-in discriminatory frameworks, generate sustained exclusion patterns through the application of constructivist and feminist theories. Studies show that leadership development programs built in local communities when combined with political mentoring services and gender-specific administrative reform in child care and immigration systems, achieve maximum impact. The participation of Afghan women will increase substantially by integrating grassroots activity with reforms to structural institutions. The research results of this study serve as foundational information for legislative and civilian institutions to build programs enabling Afghan women's civic development and inclusive equality.

Ensuring psychological health of the participants in the educational process in the crisis wartime conditions
Authors: Sych Tetiana
Published: February 2025

The study raises the issue of ensuring psychological health of participants in the educational process of higher education institutions (HEIs) who carry out educational activities in crisis conditions caused by the military events in Ukraine in 2014 and Russia's full-scale military aggression in 2022. The article examines essential characteristics of the military-political crisis and identifies range of problems that a person faces when making decisions in a crisis situation. Attention is focused on the problem of human resource management during a crisis. Based on the analysis of publications by Ukrainian scholars, the article discusses challenges faced by academic staff and students of Ukrainian universities in the context of war. The higher education institutions that were temporarily displaced from Luhansk and Donetsk regions twice in 2014 and 2022 were analyzed in a particular way as the educational institutions that were affected by negative factors for the longest time and were most affected by the war. The dynamics of changes in the number of students and the number of research and teaching staff were studied. The dynamics of changes in the number of full-time employees in public HEIs of the first wave of displacement is compared with the data on HEIs located near the combat zone. It is concluded that the participants in the educational process in higher education institutions and the educational institutions themselves need more support from the government and international communities to preserve the scientific potential and human capital of Ukraine as a whole. Attention is focused on the need to apply risk management in the management of higher education institutions in the context of the military-political crisis, and to address the problem of preserving the psychological health of students and academic staff not only at the level of the university management, but also at the state level. Recommendations for maintaining psychological stability of students and academic staff of higher education institutions in wartime are proposed.
Measures to ensure and support the realization of the «Third Mission» of the university under martial law and post-war reconstruction
Authors: Vasynova Nadiia
Published: February 2025

Today, the issue of cooperation and involvement of universities in solving social problems of communities is a strategically important task, and Ukrainian universities should take on the role of leaders of change and socio-economic development. Higher education institutions should be aware of their third mission, which is aimed at ensuring that the knowledge and research gained through educational and research activities do not remain within the walls of the educational institution, but are used to improve people's lives, develop the economy and society, and have an impact on sustainability in post-war Ukraine. Also, from this perspective, the «third mission» is not only a regulatory regime, but also a transaction through which universities direct their activities to create a more favorable environment and are an important center for the realization of social responsibility.
Therefore, the purpose of the article is to outline measures to implement the «third mission» of the university and enhance the social role of universities by intensifying interaction between them and the community. To achieve this goal, an integrated approach was used, including theoretical analysis, which consisted of an interdisciplinary study of scientific publications to determine the state of development of the problem raised; analysis, synthesis, generalization - to identify and substantiate measures to ensure the implementation of the «third mission» of the university, to formulate conclusions; forecasting and planning – to characterize the range of actions to implement the «third mission» of the university in martial law and the post-war period.
It is established that social responsibility is one of the driving factors underlying the «third mission» of the university and is implemented within its framework, and the increase in the social role of higher education institutions is seen through the intensification of interaction between them and the community. However, activities to implement and develop the university's «third mission» require consistent, comprehensive, and systematic work, which includes the implementation of certain measures within the regulatory, organizational, scientific, methodological, and project areas at the level of the educational institution.
