Diversity of aggressive Aedinian fauna and susceptibility of Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) to Ageratum conyzoides L., 1753 and Chromolaena odorata L. Robinson, 1970 (Asteraceae) essential oils in some towns from southern Cameroon
Authors: Ngo Hondt Odette E.
Published: August 2022

Background: A good knowledge of Aedes diversity and their biting cycle is necessary for better planning of vector control interventions against arboviruses diseases. This study aims to determine the diversity of Aedes and the biting cycle of Aedes albopictus in suburban as well as urban areas of Douala, Kribi, and Ayos to propose a method for vector control based on Ageratum conyzoides L., 1753 and Chromolaena odorata L., 1970 (Asteraceae) essential oil. Methods: Larvae were sampled by dipping method and reared by Desfontaine method. The aggressiveness of Aedes was determined by the outdoors Human Landing Catches method from 6 am to 6 pm. Captured mosquitoes were morphologically identified using identification keys. Essential oils from fresh leaves of A. conyzoides and C. odorata were extracted by hydrodistillation using Clevenger while the chemical composition was determined by GC-MS. Insecticide tests were carried out according to WHO protocol on matures Ae. albopictus larvae. Results: Ae. albopictus (n=3499; 80.5%) was the most aggressive species in urban and suburban areas followed by Ae. unilineatus (n=392; 9.02%) and Ae. aegypti (n=210; 4.83%). The mean biting rate of Aedes was 21.52 bites/person/day (b/p/d). In urban and suburban areas Ae. albopictus (18.22 b/p/d) was the most aggressive species followed by Ae. unilineatus (2.04 b/p/d) and Ae. aegypti (1.09 b/p/d). Precocene I (54.4%) and Androencecalinol (24.69%) were the major compounds of A. conyzoides fresh leaves essential oil. Geijerene (20.02%) and trans-Muurola-4(14), 5-diene (19.15%) were the major compounds of C. odorata fresh leaves essential oil. A. conyzoides fresh leaves essential oil was the most effective with 100% mortality after 10 hours of exposure at 75 ppm concentration. Conclusion: This study reveals that Aedes was more aggressive in urban areas than in suburban areas. Aedes albopictus was the most aggressive species. A. conyzoides fresh leaves essential oil should be taken into account in the implementation of control strategies against Aedes. Keywords: Aedes diversity; biting cycle; fresh leaves; urban; suburban.
Okućnica kolektivizovanih seoskih domaćinstava u Jugoslaviji (1945–1953)
Authors: Milošević Srđan
Published: August 2022

The paper deals with the organizational and practical issues related to the household plot of the collectivized households in Yugoslavia. This household plot was in the regime of individual property. This structure originated from the Soviet kolkhoz, but had different characteristics in the Yugoslav context. Besides having been an additional source of agricultural products to satisfy the needs of the collectivized households, the products grown on these plots were also allowed to enter the market. The household plot had a disproportionally large impact on the overall agricultural production, since the peasants intensified the use of this plot. This came as a consequence of the dysfunctional and unpopular organizational characteristics of the agricultural cooperatives.

Differential expression of PDCD6 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines sporadic ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of PDCD6, encoding programmed cell death 6, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (SALS). PDCD6 transcript was present at significantly lower levels in SALS patient fibroblasts as compared to control, non-diseased fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.

Published: August 2022

Background: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Counselling for depression (CfD) are recommended first-line treatments for depression. While they approach change differently there is little understanding of the impact those approaches have on change during treatment. Objectives: This study aimed to identify whether CBT and CfD target different symptoms and explore the implications of modelling choices when quantifying change during treatment. Methods: Symptom specific effects of treatment were identified using moderated network modelling. This was a retrospective cohort study of 12,756 individuals who received CBT or CfD for depression in primary/community care psychological therapy services in England. Change was modelled several ways within the whole sample and a propensity score matched sample (n=3446). Findings: CBT for depression directly affected excessive worry, trouble relaxing, and apprehensive expectation and a stronger influence on changes between suicidal ideation and concentration. CfD had a stronger direct influence on thoughts of being a failure and on the associated change between being easily annoyed and apprehensive expectation. There were inconsistencies when modelling change using the first and second appointments as the baseline. Residual score models produced more conservative findings than models using difference scores.Conclusions: CfD and CBT for depression have differential effects on symptoms demonstrating specific mechanisms of change. Clinical implications: CBT was uniquely associated with changes in symptoms associated with anxiety and may be better suited to those with anxiety symptoms comorbid to their depression. When assessing change, the baseline should be the first therapy session not the pre-treatment assessment. Residual change scores should be preferred over difference score methods.
The Challenges of the Experimental Paradigm in Narrative Identity Research
Authors: Mansfield Cade , Pasupathi Monisha , McLean Kate C.
Published: August 2022

The data from two experimental studies suggest that how people narrate may be coupled with why they narrate, as well as what they are narrating. This may constrain narrative flexibility. Such constraints would have implications for narrative research on the good life. We present a model based on event affordances and memory consolidation to explain links between what is being narrated (the narrative’s subject), why it is being narrated (one’s motivation for narrating a given event in a given moment), and how it is being narrated (the features of the narrative itself such as whether it is told with a redemptive structure). Discussion revolves around implications of these links.
Do women’s morphological traits predict reproductive outcomes? A systematic review
Authors: Lidborg Linda H , Boothroyd Lynda
Published: August 2022

Sexually dimorphic – or feminine – traits in women include a neotenous facial structure with large eyes, full lips, and an oval face shape, and a curvaceous body with relatively large breasts, a narrow waist, and full hips and buttocks. Compared to men, women also show higher second-to-fourth finger (2D:4D) ratios as well as less muscle mass and lower physical strength. Due to a putative association with oestrogen levels, feminine traits are often claimed to cue women’s reproductive potential. However, evidence for this purported relationship typically uses reproductive proxies rather than actual biological fitness. Here, we report a systematic review of direct reproductive outcomes as a function of morphological traits in women. The review comprised measures of 2D:4D, voice pitch, and upper-body strength in women from 14 samples, and showed a mixture of null, positive, and negative effects. Given how commonly traits such as facial femininity, WHR, and breast size are claimed to signal fertility, it is noteworthy that we were not able to locate a single study measuring women’s fertility as a function of either of those traits. Overall, our review shows that the current evidence base is too weak to support the claim that women’s morphological traits cue fertility.

A turn to geopolitics: shifts in the German energy transition discourse in light of Russia’s war against Ukraine
Authors: Wiertz Thilo , Kuhn Lilith , Mattissek Annika
Published: August 2022

Germany’s Energiewende is often considered a role model for the transition to renewable energy. It enjoys broad multiparty and multi-sector commitment as a central national project, notwithstanding some domestic disputes about prices, infrastructures, and timeframes. However, Russia’s war against Ukraine marks a turning point in Germany’s energy politics, given the country’s dependency on Russian natural gas. This paper examines the war’s repercussions on Germany’s energy transition discourse. It draws on an analysis of newspaper articles, tweets, talk shows, and parliamentary speeches from February to May 2022, i.e. shortly after the beginning of the 2022 Russian war against Ukraine. The goal of quickly reducing fossil fuel imports from Russia has reframed controversies about renewable energy and centered the geopolitical dimension of the Energiewende. The Energiewende is no longer framed primarily as a domestic climate protection policy, but rather an explicitly geopolitical problem. We discuss the re-evaluation of Germany’s past energy policies, energy savings to reduce fossil fuel dependence, the role of bridging technologies such as LNG, lignite, and nuclear power, and new framings of the Energiewende as a matter of freedom and national security. While the war seems to have strengthened political commitments to the energy transition, it is also used to justify renewed investments in fossil infrastructures, potentially exacerbating the existing carbon lock-in. Furthermore, both an accelerated expansion of renewable energies and the short-term substitution of Russian gas will likely create new geopolitical interdependencies and challenges that are potentially in conflict with the new discursive emphasis on national security and independence.
A Framework for Infrastructuring Sustainable Innovations in Education
Authors: Chen Bodong
Published: August 2022

Learning scientists have historically been interested in understanding how learning happens and in creating innovations to facilitate learning in real-world situations. Recently, the field has recognized that advancing standalone innovations is not enough to address systemic problems in education; instead, the focus must be broadened to sustain these innovations. Drawing on an interdisciplinary body of literature on infrastructure, this paper presents a framework—the IMPROV framework—that offers theoretical, methodological, and practical tools for infrastructuring innovations in the learning sciences. Infrastructuring can be defined as the ongoing process of creating functional infrastructures for activities in a particular context. I describe six inter-connected areas of infrastructuring to highlight ways that learning designers and researchers could surface existing infrastructures, facilitate coherence-making negotiation activities, engage practitioners in collaborative design, and continuously evaluate infrastructuring activities. It is hoped that such advances will increase the relevance and sustainability of innovations in education and provide infrastructure to further improve them.
Social fragmentation, technology adoption and productivity in colonial India
Authors: Mukherjee Anirban , Sen Shankhajit
Published: August 2022

In this paper, we examine the role of social environment on the choice of technology and firm productivity using the case of textile mills in twentieth century India. During the twentieth century, Indian textile mills continued using the British mule technology while textile firms in most of the countries moved to the American ring technology. Indian textile mills were also known for lower productivity than the contemporary British, American, or Japanese mills. While most of the existing studies offered explanations for both these phenomenon by directly making cross-country comparisons, we seek to explain productivity differences and choice of mule technology using firm level data from the textile sector in the twentieth century India. Drawing on the existing literature on this issue, we argue that generating tacit knowledge was critical for technology adoption. The process of tacit knowledge creation depended on exchange of knowledge and ideas at the social level and therefore, is a function of demographic factors and ethnic composition of the society. In our paper, we combine input-output data from colonial textile firms with city level demographic characteristics in colonial India and estimate the effect of age structure, religious composition, and caste fragmentation on choice of technology and firm level productivity. We find that textile mills located in fragmented societies faced less social inertia against changing the technology and therefore, the degree of transition to the American technology was higher in those mills. We also find that the ethnic identities of the managing agents played critical roles in technological transition. Besides caste fragmentation, overall literacy rate and English literacy also influenced productivity and technology adoption.
Overview of River Hydrological Issues in Kakarbhitta-Pathlaiya Road Segment of East-West Highway of Nepal
Authors: Regmi Ram Krishna
Published: August 2022

The East-West Highway of Nepal is the main trade and physical mobility corridor and of a two-lane bituminous road. Therefore, the Government of Nepal (GoN) is planning to improve it to a standard four-lane highway. In the first phase, the Government of Nepal is planning to upgrade the Kakarbhitta-Pathlaiya road which is the segment of the East-West Highway. It is vital to examine the river hydrology accurately for the appropriate location and design of the structures associated with it. This study aims to work out the features of flood and sediment of the major rivers intersecting the Kakarbhitta-Pathlaiya road. A review of the previous studies and field observation via a walk-through survey was conducted to assess the hydrological issues. The road segment passes through the Terai. The study revealed that the issues of flooding and inundation within the Terai are more critical, and the rivers crossing the road segment transport significant amounts of sediment as well. In the stages of planning and design of the road segment, the capacity of the rivers must be enhanced for transporting water and sediment in the places of bridges. Besides, watershed management techniques and integrated water resources management approaches should be intervened.
Emotion of Love in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby: A Rasaesthetic Perspective
Authors: Rai Bidur
Published: August 2022

This research article attempts to explore the emotion of love in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. The paper aims at finding how the love emotions are evoked in characters and how the spectators or actors experience these emotions while reading the novel. Fitzgerald’s novel is a depiction of the Americans living in the material world where they hanker after material bliss, forgetting human sensitivity. The text unfurls some issues like dream, hope, and desire to win love, which ultimately results in frustration and spiritual sterility in the Western country. Basically, the novel is about a man’s quest for wealth and dream. However, he utterly fails to realize these in the text. To analyze the text, I embark upon Indian Rasa Theory. As such, the Indian Aesthetics has categorized nine emotions. Thus, I use the critical perspective of Indian Aesthetics as a theoretical framework to advance the arguments. Particularly, the perspectives from Seldon Pallock and Peter Marchand are used in the textual analysis. Seldon Pallock marks that Rasa emancipates from the combination of factors, reactions, and temporary emotions. Findings drawn from the discussion are that love emotion out of nine emotions is available in some characters, events and description of scenes in the text. Furthermore, these emotions help appreciate the literary text through the notion of rasa theory.
Voice from the Margin in Khagendra Sangraula’s Junkiriko Sangeet [The Music of the Firefly]
Authors: Rai Man Kumar
Published: August 2022

The women particularly from Dalit community are doubly under-shadowed in Khagendra Sangraula’s novel Junkiriko Sangeet [The Music of the Firefly]. The novel shows how women from Dalit community are tortured by their male partners and people from the so-called high caste people. The objective of this article is to study discrimination of Dalit women based on their caste, economic status and gender as women. The novel deals with the issue of Dalit, particularly Dalit women who have been physically and mentally exploited by upper caste people. This study shows how high caste people give stereotype identity to low caste people in order to impose their power over them. Sangraula depicts the harsh reality of Simring village where Dalit woman is fed stool and drunken men’s urine accusing her doing black magic. The Dalit women have no unity and some level of conscious to raise voice against such inhuman act. Therefore, their voice remains unheard. To analyze the issue explored above, this article takes theoretical ideas from Subaltern Studies, particularly from Gayatri Chakravarti Spivak, Gramsci and Foucault. The scholars of Subaltern Studies believe that subaltern group of people lack their own true representor which is the cause of remaining their issue at the bottom of social hierarchy. Some scholars believe that subaltern studies groups are like new historians who have to create discourse in order to re-write history of history less subaltern group. This paper also rewrites the ignored history of history less Dalit and Dalit women in Nepal.

Authors: Giri Saroj Kumar
Published: August 2022

The article aims to analyze the arbitration-related laws in Nepal, the domestication of international arbitration treaties and conventions, settlement procedures of arbitration disputes and the role of the Nepalese judiciary to settle the disputes through arbitration. To settle disputes outside the court through a mutual agreement in a peaceful situation, ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) is the best method practiced worldwide since time immemorial; Nepal has also proclaimed various provisions in different statutes and rules. Arbitration Act, 2055 is the current statute that governs arbitration matters and Arbitration (Court procedures) Rule, 2059 governs the court proceedings. The various provisions of Arbitration Laws and Rules have been proclaimed to mitigate the international arbitration laws and rules. Nepalese judiciary especially the supreme court and high court has played a pivotal role to settle the dispute that arose during arbitration, arbitral award, its implementation, the appointment of arbitrator etc.  The finding of the study is there have been significant changes in the decision-making process by the court and new trends mitigating the international proceedings have been followed. The analysis is significant as it helps to understand the arbitration laws and procedures and new trends adopted by the courts to settle disputes.
Quality of Work-life Perception among Faculty Members of Tribhuvan University
Authors: Lamichhane Baburam
Published: August 2022

A quality teaching staff is the foundation of a successful educational system. For the development of quality teaching, faculty attention has to be paid to their QWL to confirm their job satisfaction and commitment to their University. It is a common conviction that the QWL of faculties largely depends upon the quality of the people one works with, assisting colleagues in the workplace, the salary structure of an organization, the nature of work, provision for respect, and achievement. But there are some other significant dimensions of QWL, such as the autonomy of the work, relation, cooperation, fair and adequate compensation, and work environment, which also have an impact. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the perceptual difference in QWL among teaching faculty of universities. The data were collected from full-time academicians working on selected campuses in the Pokhara Valley. A structured Google form questionnaire was used to gather the data. Four hundred questionnaires were distributed, out of which only 204 questionnaires were found to be complete and usable for the analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS, in which a one-way ANOVA test. The findings of the study pointed out that there is no perceptual difference in QWL among university professors, associated professors, and lecturers. They will serve as valuable inputs for the universities in identifying the key workplace issues to develop strategies to address and improve the quality of working conditions and raise the quality of work-life of the faculty members in their universities.
Stock Prices in Nepal: Macroeconomic Determinants
Authors: Ojha Bhoj Raj
Published: August 2022

The article attempts to identify the relationship between major determinants and its impact of stock market of Nepal. On employing, Regression Analysis on data set for the period of 1994-2020, it is found that there is significant relation between determinants of stock market and stock price. The findings imply that stock market price fluctuations are closely related to broad money supply, interest rate, inflation, and exchange rate in the long run. The fluctuation of stock market prices in relation to interest rates is in the opposite direction. In the short run, GDP, money supply, and exchange rate all have positive relationships, but only the money supply has a positive relationship in the long run. Stock market prices rise as the money supply expands. This implies that an increase in money supply leads to economic expansion through increasing cash flows, and that an expansionary monetary policy would help stock values. Capital market development strategies should be coordinated with macroeconomic fundamental policies.
Banking Sector Development and Economic Growth in Nepal: Test of Cointegration
Authors: Pokharel Jhabindra
Published: August 2022

This paper examined the causal relationship between banking sector development and economic growth in Nepal using annual time series data from 1975 to 2019. The per capita real GDP growth rate is taken as the proxy of economic growth. Private sector credit is used as the indicator of banking sector development and inflation, trade openness, and government spending as control variables. Using the Johansen cointegration test and vector error correction method (VECM) in regression analysis, the study reveals that the development of the banking sector in Nepal is positively contributing to economic growth through efficient allocation of financial resources. The findings from this study conclude that there is a unidirectional causality running from banking sector development to economic growth in the long run, which supports the supply-leading hypothesis. However, this study found no support for causality running from economic growth to banking sector development neither in the long run nor in the short run. Therefore, the findings from this study recommend policies that increase the reach of the banking services to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and individual investors, even in the rural areas of the country.

Economic diplomacy is concerned with how a government maintains economic relations with other nations and what steps it might take to enhance its economy. If economic and diplomatic relations are good, more benefits can be reaped from diplomatic partner countries. Economic diplomacy plays an important role in a country’s ability to prioritize and benefit from deployment partners. By developing economic diplomatic connections, Nepal has the opportunity to profit from the neighboring countries. Despite the differences in the ideology and vision of political parties, it is necessary for the country, the people and development to rise above partisan vision and move forward with a new vision. Reaching more economic benefits from respectable and balanced economic diplomacy has become imperative. This study has been conducted to review economic diplomacy and examine the impact of economic diplomatic relations on foreign direct investment, foreign employment, and the tourism economy. It measured the impact of economic diplomatic relations on FDI, foreign employment and the tourism economy by applying multiple regression models. The impact of FDI, foreign employment and the tourism economy has been analyzed from 2001 to 2019. The study’s finding shows that there has been a significant impact on remittance income and incomes from the tourism industry.

Earnings, Size, and Book-to-Market Effects on Banking Stock Returns in Nepal
Authors: Rana Surya Bahadur
Published: August 2022

This study attempts to examine the effect of earnings, size, and book-to-market equity on common stock returns of banking sector firms in Nepal. Using the sample of 21 commercial banks in Nepal consisting of 231 firm-year observations over the 2010-2020 periods and based on the panel data fixed-effect estimation with AR(1) disturbances, the study reveals that earnings and size have significant positive effects on common stock returns of the banking sector in Nepal. However, the study reveals significant negative book-to-market equity effects on cross-sectional banking stock returns in Nepal. The positive earnings effect implies that banks with higher earnings yields have higher stock returns. Similarly, the positive size-effect implies that larger banks outperform the smaller banks in Nepal. Similarly, the negative book-to-market effect on common stock returns observed in this study implies that banks with lower value creation have lower stock returns.

Manajemen jaringan VLAN ( Virtual Local Area Network ) dapat memudahkan seseorang administrator untuk memonitor jaringan VLAN tersebut karena dibaginya ke dalam beberapa jaringan berdasarkan VLAN Idnya. Boardcast domain pada jaringan VLAN terjadi pada VLAN Idnya saja sehingga tidak menganggu jaringan VLAN yang lainnya.  Konfigurasi kecepatan bandwidth memberikan batasan transmisi data denghan kapasitas sesuai dengan kebutuhan masing-masing penggunanya. Pada manajemen VLAN dapat mengatur besaran kecepatan ukuran upload maupun download pada manajemen bandwith sehingga seorang administrator dapat dengan mudah mengontrol aktivitas jaringan komputer yang berjalan pada PT. Jantra Reka Saksanamas. Dan telah dilakukan pengujian jaringan akhir pada salah satu penggunanya baik di Lantai 2, Lantai 3 dan lantai 4 menggunakan perangkat mikrotik dan pengujian kecepatan jaringan bandwidth dengan website www.speedtest.cbn.net.id

Futsal sport is currently in great demand by the public, especially for youth who like sports. Futsal is performed on a smaller field compared to football. Futsal is played in a team with 5 members consisting of players and goalkeepers. Many people start looking for this futsal sport by visiting the futsal place to find information about the field and the booking schedule. Sometimes this way of ordering makes people feel difficult, because they have to come first and then look for an empty schedule or it turns out that the booking schedule is full. This is very ineffective and inefficient in service for tenants and owners, because there is no internet-based information system. In this study, aims to create a web-based futsal field ordering application by implementing a development life cycle (SDLC) system to overcome existing problems making it easier for tenants to get information about the futsal field, field booking information, and more effectively and efficiently in terms of time. In addition, futsal field owners can also manage futsal field transaction data accurately

Living with/on the Land
Authors: Sihra Jasmine , Nagam Julie
Published: August 2022

“Living with/on the Land” is a conversation between Jasmine Sihra and Dr. Julie Nagam that explores Nagam’s artistic practice and digital installation works that offer an immersive experience for participants to understand the dualism of living in the city versus on the land. Sihra, a research fellow on Nagam’s SSHRC Partnership Grant The Space between Us, asks about Nagam’s works like Our future is in the land, if we listen to it (2017) that combine projection and sound to provide viewers an immersive experience of the rural Manitoba landscape where the artist grew up. Nagam also discusses singing our bones home (2013), which situates the viewer in a dome-like structure and juxtaposes the architectural dwellings of a wagon shed and a wigwam, a nomadic form that offered more mobility to inhabitants. Her most recent work, A place to hold loss (2022), deals directly with the transformation of land through urban development and suggests mobile forms of dwelling as a possible way to limit destruction of land. Through her practice, Nagam poses urgent questions that have the potential to think through the current climate crisis and Indigenous futurisms.
Tiny Houses, Treesits, and Housing on the Front Lines of the TMX Pipeline Resistance
Authors: Richards Kimberly Skye
Published: August 2022

Housing is a strategic component of land defence on the front lines of resistance to extractive development across Turtle Island. This article highlights two resistance efforts along the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMX) route to provide dynamic examples of housing “as a temporal, embodied, affective, and theatrical practice”: the Tiny House Warriors’ tiny houses and the Protect the Planet Stop TMX treesit. The construction and occupation of tiny houses and treehouses in the pathway of extractive development projects are “sustainable tools”—creative strategies and adaptable tactics that may be adapted and repeated on other front lines of resistance.
