Sexism and Misogyny in Nepali Proverbs: A Psychoanalytic Feminist Approach
Authors: Budhathoki Mahendra Kumar
Published: March 2024

People use many Nepali-gendered proverbs in formal and informal talks. They discriminate and abuse women consciously or unconsciously in gender contexts. Gender inequality has been a challenging social problem. This study investigates the representations of the sexist, abusive and ingrained prejudices and hatred against women in Nepali Proverbs. It analyses the perceptions and psyche of patriarchy towards Nepali women. This study adopted psychoanalytic feminist theory to analyse sexism and misogyny in Nepali proverbs. Nepali proverbs related to gender discrimination were selected from different written sources. The collected proverbs were presented from the birth of a girl to young, widowhood and old age. The discussed proverbs vividly illustrate prevalent prejudice, discrimination, stereotyping, hatred and contempt against women in Nepali society. These gendered proverbs disclose the discrimination and prejudice on gender issues from birth onwards. The proverbs expose the men’s negative and aversive attitude, assumptionsand psyche towards women. Patriarchal ideology determines ‘good women’ or ‘bad women’; men and patriarchal women expect women should follow the traditional gender roles. Through the gendered proverbs, the patriarchal psyche is palpable as it seeks to subjugate women. This research will aware people, especially the new generation, about the misconceptions of gender in Nepali society, and motivate them not to use those gender discriminatory proverbs for the gender equality and reverence of women.

Authors: Sharma Rom Nath
Published: March 2024

This study explored the teachers’ practices of English Language Teaching (ELT) in cross-cultural context. Two teachers teaching English at secondary level schools located at Kapilvastu Municipality, Kapilvastu District were interviewed through zoom meeting to excavate the findings. While teaching in the multi-cultural classroom, teacher participants experienced communication misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the meaning due to the cultural differences of the students. Teachers were in need of the trainings for developing their professionalism in teaching effectively to multicultural students and in multicultural classrooms. However, they were not being facilitated with any kind of multi-cultural students teaching trainings so that they could make their teaching more effective to the students from diverse cultural backgrounds and linguistic differences. The study revealed that teachers had to teach in diverse cultural classes, shared learning of culture was practised using contextualization method and linguistics chaos was dug out in meaning construction. English language teaching and learning were influenced by mother tongues, cultural differences and cultural domination.
Achieving Accurate In-Text Citations with EndNote in Academic Writing
Authors: Sharma Uma Nath
Published: March 2024

EndNote, alongside other citation management software programs like RefWorks, Mendeley, and Zotero, functions as a crucial instrument for archiving, structuring, accessing, and referencing sources in scholarly composition. This study delves into my personal experience of refining EndNote’s default in-text citations across various reference types, for achieving accurate in-text citations adhering to the American Psychological Association (APA) style. To do so, I compiled my personal, albeit disjointed, experiences with refining the default in-text citation format sourced from the EndNote library. The findings are presented and discussed in a thematic manner, focusing on the in-text citation types and how they can be effectively managed within Microsoft (MS) Word documents. The findings ultimately affirm that EndNote’s default in-text citations can be tailored to accurately cite a broader spectrum of citation types. This implies that judicious use of EndNote facilitates precise and systematic citations, with minimal manual adjustments. This consequently streamlines and accelerates the entirety of the course of academic writing.

In this article, the poetic qualities of Rajeshwari Khandakavya are analyzed using a qualitative research method and meta-analysis approach with library resources as the primary material. The analysis is rooted in Sanskrit poetic thought, particularly focusing on the concept of guna as the essential principle of poetry. While Sanskrit poetic tradition classifies poetic qualities differently over time, this study specifically examines Rajeshwari Khandakavya through the lens of triguna. The poem is celebrated for its melodious quality, which is believed to stem from the three qualities established in Sanskrit poetic thought. The composition, characterized by komalakanta padavali, karuna rasa, and sulalit padavali, evokes sensation in the reader's mind, contributing to its status as a masterpiece of melodious quality. The qualities of oj and prasad further enhance its melodic excellence. Oj guna, in particular, serves to clarify the expression of human emotions, thus solidifying the poem's melodious quality. Additionally, the article discusses narrative rhetoric and content relative to Madhav Prasad Ghimire, providing insights into creating textual, cognitive, and presentational effectiveness.

Authors: Mahato Surendra
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to investigate the impact of talent management practices, including talent attraction, talent development, talent retention, talent selection, and reward management, on financial performance in Nepalese banks. A questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was used to collect data from 256 employees from 17 Nepalese banks over a 10-year period. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted using the AMOS software to analyze the data. The results showed that talent attraction, talent development, and talent retention had a significant positive impact on return on equity (ROE), while the impact of talent selection and reward management on ROE was found to be insignificant. Additionally, talent development had a significant positive impact on return on assets (ROA), while the impact of the other talent management practices on ROA was insignificant. These findings suggest that talent management practices can play a critical role in improving the financial performance of Nepalese banks, particularly in terms of ROE. The study provides valuable insights for bank managers and policymakers on the importance of talent management practices for enhancing financial performance.

Published: March 2024

Актуальність дослідження зумовлена тим, що наразі Україна перебуває в ситуації підвищених рівнів ризиків катастроф. Особливо це стосується періоду після початку повномасштабної війни рф з Україною, впродовж якого населення та держава перебувають у стані постійних шоків, потрясінь і втрат. За таких умов необхідним є розроблення на основі вивчення досвіду та впровадження в практику заходів, що сприяють відновленню економіки та підвищенню рівня резилієнтності як соціально-економічної системи в цілому, так і окремих її елементів. У статті проаналізовано та систематизовано різні підходи, що застосовуються науковцями та організаціями для визначення спроможності соціально-економічної системи витримувати стресові фактори й ефективно адаптуватися до змінних умов у різних сферах. Наведено приклади ефективних стратегій розвитку резилієнтності системи, розроблених міжнародними організаціями з метою подолання шоків і катастроф. Встановлено, що за сучасними підходами резилієнтність соціально-економічної системи розглядається як багатокомпонентне явище, яке охоплює три основні властивості: потенціал поглинання (абсорбції), потенціал пристосування (адаптації), потенціал змін (трансформації). У дослідженні описано показники, які використовуються в сучасних наукових дослідженнях для оцінки резилієнтності систем різних масштабів (міжнародного, національного, регіонального та місцевого). Науковці та розробники стратегічних документів застосовують різні індикатори (як кількісні, так і якісні), отримані зі статистичних спостережень, адміністративних джерел даних або опитувань цільових груп, що дозволяє відстежувати в часі вплив здійснених заходів на резилієнтність. Обґрунтовано необхідність розробки показників резилієнтності соціально-економічної системи у національному контексті з урахуванням міжнародного досвіду їх використання.

Digital Communications in Public Administration: Essence, Role and Requirements for Formation
Authors: Hrynchak N. А. , Syniakov A. V.
Published: March 2024

The article examines the essence and role of digital communications in public administration. It was determined that the main tasks of communications in public administration are informing the public and explaining the actions taken; promoting and strengthening institutional action and facilitating the discussion of ideas. In the face of digital transformation, public authorities have more ways than ever to communicate with communities — from social networks and online town halls to chatbots and virtual assistants. The types of digital communications that have gained widespread practical application by public authorities in the conditions of digital transformation are singled out. It is substantiated that the main requirements for building an effective system of digital communications in public administration are inclusiveness, bilateralism and persuasiveness.

Public communication that ignores the differences in how different social groups respond to news and information, or which messages will resonate with whom, is likely to have limited reach and impact. The priority for public authorities should be the development of communication that would be better suited to different groups of the population. Public authorities are increasingly striving to establish two-way communication, when they are both senders and receivers of messages, as a means of achieving a certain form of permanent dialogue with citizens and stakeholders. The persuasiveness of communications depends not only on how they are designed. Trust in the source of information is especially important. Understanding how trust factors can be integrated into the development of communication strategies and initiatives in a way that promotes greater public acceptance and, in turn, compliance requires further research.

Authors: Tupalessy Pricilia , Ferdinandus Marcy S. , Loppies Hellien Jequelin
Published: March 2024

The study focuses on the dynamics and types of teacher and student talks in EFL classrooms. It highlights whether teacher or student talk dominates class and impacts students' language acquisition. It was conducted in an Eastern Indonesian secondary school and employed exploratory sequential mixed methods. The data were collected from an English teacher and 32 students through interviews and observations. Thematic analysis and relative frequency distribution table were used for data analysis. The findings showed that teacher talk dominated classroom activities and made student-centred learning lacking, thus affecting students' language acquisition. Various teacher and student talk categories were identified using the Flander Interaction Analysis Category (FIAC) framework. Teacher Talk (TT) involved indirect influences such as accepting feelings, praises or encourages, using students' ideas, and asking questions. The direct influence includes lecture, giving directions, and criticizing students' behaviour. While Student Talk (ST) had students' responses, students-initiated silence and confusion. Implications suggest enhancing teachers' conversation management skills and fostering a more student-centred approach to facilitate students' language practice and participation. Additionally, future researchers who wish to conduct similar research can develop deeper by looking at other aspects that positively impact interaction in the English language classroom.

The method used by researchers in conducting this research is a quantitative method by distributing research questionnaires through google form. The results of this study have many important findings that self regulated learning can help students to improve their ability to learn and understand the material. The conclusion of this study explains that self-regulated learning plays an important role in improving students' achievement and interest in learning. Because it can make it easier for students to understand the lessons explained by the teacher. The limitation of this study is that researchers only surveyed certain students so it will be difficult to obtain appropriate data in choosing the ideal student learning method. The researcher hopes that future researchers can survey all students and not just certain students. This researcher also recommends to future researchers to be a benchmark in conducting research related to self-regulated learning and student learning quality
The system for determining the technical acceptability of construction products –
the experience of Europe and Asia
Authors: Bielienkova Olha , Tsyfra Tetiana , Kazmin Oleksandr
Published: March 2024

Determining the technical acceptability of construction products becomes a
determining factor that shapes trade, innovation and safety standards. The article
reviews the system of determining the technical acceptability of the EU and some Asian
countries. The European experience, embodied by the CE marking system, establishes a
uniform approach in the EU member states. The importance of studying the European
experience is emphasized by the orientation of Ukraine towards joining the EU, which
will be facilitated by the transition of the construction sector to European standards.
European countries have harmonized standards, such as the EN series, which begin with
basic requirements for construction products. CE marking combined with conformity
assessment procedures ensures compliance with strict quality and safety standards.
Competent authorities have successfully addressed the role of third-party verification,
while the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) has a level of regulatory oversight.
This experience offers Ukraine a model of harmonization, promoting the creation of a
single market and strengthening international confidence in its construction products.
Asian countries, each with its own regulatory field, exemplify diverse approaches to
determining technical acceptability. Countries such as Japan and China emphasize
adherence to national standards and certification processes. The Japanese JIS standards
and the JIS mark together with the Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) system are
technical compliance standards not only in construction. Understanding the nuances of
approaches in Asia gives Ukraine knowledge about adapting its own systems to regional
requirements. The study of international approaches to the construction of a system for
determining the technical acceptability of construction products and structures will
contribute to international trade, ensuring the quality and safety of products, and
innovations. Cross-border projects and the attraction of foreign investments contribute
to the introduction of international practices that meet global standards. The
introduction of the European system for determining the technical acceptability of
building materials, which corresponds to the best international practices, not only the
competitiveness of Ukrainian construction products, but also thanks to the global
standardization of the construction industry, the economic integration of sustainable
development, the experience of Europe and Asia allow to create a road map to ensure
technical acceptability of construction products.

The development of the state's economy depends on the efficiency of construction
enterprises, as one of the indicators reflecting the state and trends of the internal
and external economic environment. In the conditions of the functioning of construction
enterprises, the importance of relations between the development of the construction and
investment project and its stakeholders (project participants, interested persons) is
increasing, which affect the resulting indicators as a complex set of organizational,
factual and legal actions in the process of professional entrepreneurial activity aimed
at creating and (or ) conversion of real estate objects for the purpose of obtaining
profit from such transformations. In this context, it should be noted the decrease in
the effectiveness of the interaction of construction developers, namely with customers
of construction products, contractors, design organizations, competitors, public
organizations. In such conditions, there is a need for the formation of theoretical and
methodological foundations for the development and implementation of a
stakeholder-oriented management strategy of construction enterprises as a method of
organizing the investment process, which aims to organize financing and the
implementation of a real estate development project within the given time and within the
relevant restrictions in order to obtain a commercial benefits The article proposes a
definition of the morphological classification of the essence of the concept of
"development" in the construction industry on the basis of strategic contours and social
directions and is determined by functional, resulting, structural, process, strategic,
complex features, the relationships of which have a certain level of risk and threats.
Risk and profitability are considered when forming an investment portfolio as two
interdependent categories. The formalization of the amount of risk, which is evaluated
according to the following parameters: the mathematical (average) expectation of the
value of profitability, as well as the degree of variability of profitability, has been
carried out.

In a dynamic market environment, the integration of innovative products is key to
the sustainable development of construction enterprises and the improvement of
infrastructure. The article describes the methodical approach applied in Ukraine in the
formation and adoption of national documents aimed at determining the acceptability of
innovative construction products. The structured methodology emphasizes the importance
of developing a new EU-oriented regulatory framework to facilitate the seamless
integration of advanced technologies and materials into the construction sector. The
methodology is based on the functions of the National Organization of Technical
Acceptance Bodies, which has multifaceted responsibilities, including ensuring
cooperation with organizations with recognized technical expertise in a particular
field. Based on the experience of international organizations such as CEN and CENELEC, a
funding framework is proposed that outlines six categories of cooperation. These include
partnerships at different levels, interconnected organizations promoting specific
technical areas, associated bodies offering comprehensive cooperation, European special
interest advisers, European institutional stakeholders and other organizations with
individual agreements. Cooperation takes place at two different levels, involving
corporate bodies and their working or advisory groups, as well as technical committees
and other standardization bodies. The focus on inclusiveness ensures that actors with
specific technical knowledge, industry organizations and interest groups, including SMEs
and the public, actively contribute to the standardization process. Mechanisms of
financial participation are defined, distinguishing between partner organizations,
affiliated organizations, associated bodies, European advisors, European institutional
stakeholders and other organizations. The commissions are structured to cover
administrative costs, with annual reviews to ensure compliance and fairness, and a
transparent contribution structure aims to promote active participation, recognizing the
different roles and contributions of different organizations to the standardization
process. A methodical approach to the development and adoption of national documents in
Ukraine will promote cooperation, inclusiveness and a transparent financial structure,
the methodology ensures that the construction industry is well equipped to adopt and
integrate innovative products, thereby contributing to the country's technological
progress, economic growth and sustainable development.

Document circulation is a set of processes related to the collection, processing,
transfer and storage of documents in organizations. This is an important component of
the activity of any enterprise or institution, regardless of their size or field of
activity. Its more modern and effective form is electronic document circulation, which
is based on the use of specialized systems for exchanging documents. Electronic document
management is not just a transition from paper documents to electronic ones. This is the
degree of introduction of technological innovations into every sphere of modern life.
Electronic document management has become one of the most essential components of modern
corporate culture and information management. Regardless of the field of application,
electronic document management systems have a direct impact on the daily activities of
each document management entity. Analysis of the latest scientific publications and the
use of proprietary electronic document management systems are important in today's
world. New scientific research demonstrates innovative approaches and technologies for
optimizing and improving document processing processes, for example, the use of
artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies and the development of new electronic
signature methods, etc. As part of the proposed work, a review of existing models and
design methods, as well as implementations of electronic document management systems,
was conducted. Analyzing the latest research and publications in the field of electronic
document circulation, we can conclude that this direction is quite relevant, because the
problem of timely receipt of documents is urgent. The main directions of scientific
research concern both improving the efficiency and security of electronic document
circulation in general, and solving the problems of its use in specific areas of
business. Analyzing proprietary electronic document management systems, such as
Microsoft SharePoint ASKOD and Alfresco, it was noted that their developers prefer
universal approaches to creating such systems. However, in order to take into account
the individual characteristics of various institutions, constructors for creating your
own reporting forms are additionally included. It should be noted that the mentioned
systems are aimed at application in specific industries or industrial sectors, such as
management (for example, ASKOD).

Social class is a significant factor that influences an individual’s health, education, and lifestyle, among other things. However, there is no standard income-based scale that can classify individuals into different social classes for comparability across studies. In this article, we outlined the method of using monthly family income to identify the middle class of a country and how to use it to define the lower and upper class by using a widely accepted definition of the middle class and implemented it to determine the threshold for middle class family using the monthly median income of a country. This method can be used by any country to classify the community as “lower class” (<75% of the median income), “middle class” (75-125% of the median income) and “upper class” (>125% of the median income). We also presented an example using data from Bangladesh. The results were then adjusted for inflation to provide a guideline for updating the income limits for any future year. The social class in 2023 based on the monthly household income was <12,500 BDT for lower class, 12,500 to 21,500 BDT for middle class and >21,500 BDT for upper class after inflation.  This method of social class classification can be used for grouping study participants into comparable socioeconomic categories in the context of any country and can be updated easily in the future.
