International and Regional Security Issue: Indo-Pacific Strategy (IPS) and National Security of Nepal
Authors: Budhathoki Hemanta
Published: May 2024

International security is a comprehensive concept. There is a change in the dynamics of international security in the international arena. In the present context, the world has been shifting from unipolar to multipolar. The rise of China and the latest Russian attack on Ukraine have changed previous paradigms and parameters of international and regional security. After the proposed Belt and Road Initiate (BRI) by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013, the United States and its alliance proposed the Indo-pacific strategy (IPS) to counter the BRI. This article aims to give answer how and why IPS is crucial for international security, South Asian regional security and national security of Nepal. The objectives of this article are to analyze the security challenges created by IPS in international arena, to assess the security threat created by IPS in South Asian region, and to explore how Nepal can resolve and minimize a threat created by IPS and protect and promote its national security regarding IPS. In the context of South Asia, India is also involved in IPS. India is the dominant power in South Asia, so the active involvement of India in IPS also creates a threat to the regional security of South Asia. Nepal has to be conscious of the security aspect while cooperating with China, India, and other countries. Nepal is sensitive in terms of geopolitical, geo-strategic, and geo-economic aspects. The immediate neighbors’ China and India have been emerging as new great powers of the world. On the other hand, other great powers in the world also have prioritized Nepal strategically. So, Nepal has to continue its non-alignment trend and focus on its economic development and prosperity.

Authors: Sigdel Madhu Sudan
Published: May 2024

This article investigates Olga Tokaraczuk’s novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (2019) from the perspective of welfare of all the life forms other than the human characters in power. It explores the need of conserving all the living beings for their co-existence. As the actions and events go revealing the mysteries of the murders in the novel, the study highlights the need for mutual existence of the species in this earthly environment. The protagonist of the novel gets totally tormented when she comes to know the life forms, as represented by deer, foxes, plants and insects, get tortured due to some so called gentle human’s inhuman behavior. The consciousness of minority people gets shattered when the mainstream leaders undermine their voice. This makes the minority groups unite to make a voice for the voiceless. In the same way, the biotic environment of this world gets hampered when the leaders of mankind become self-centered, violent and unconcerned to other creatures. The author intends to present the protagonist who keeps sincerely performing the responsibilities but rigorously fighting against the evil forces which, as represented by the human leaders, cause harm to all the innocent life forms. So, this study shows the need of establishment of harmony among all the life forms in the society fighting against anti-social behavior of social leaders.

Multifarious Subalternity of Underprivileged Women in Nepal
Authors: Khan Najia
Published: May 2024

This paper explores the potentials of Nepalese women by unearthing obstacles and challenges they are facing because of prevailing inequality and discrimination in almost all sectors across Nepal. The article undertakes gender diversity and its problems and then analyzes them. Eventually it extends some suggestions on empowering females so that they can lead prestigious lives. Since Nepal is patterned in the blueprint of male supremacy, women’s condition is pathetic and bizarre. Pathetic narratives about gender inequality and discrimination pervade both urban and rural Nepal. Besides, religious social systems especially the Hindu social system that predominantly believes in vertical hierarchy in terms of caste, gender, and class, engrosses the women's rights by discarding their genuine demands. Nevertheless, subaltern theorists see hopes for the amendment in their conditions provided women are empowered economically, culturally and politically. Economic and political strengths of women can leverage their positions in society at large. To counter the males, the females must be made capacitated.

Contribution of Co-operatives on Women Empowerment
Authors: Pokharel Ram Raj
Published: May 2024

Abstract Cooperatives provide financial and social intermediaries, particularly for women and the underprivileged. Microcredit, micro savings, micro insurance, and micro remittance are among the financial services offered by cooperatives. The simple services of cooperatives attracted backward women, which may have pushed women in that direction. The empowerment of women has been identified by the researcher as the new horizon in this article. When women are empowered, they are independent, enjoy unrestricted movement, and can participate freely in the sectors and fields of their choice. When women achieve economic, social and political strength, the concept of empowerment acquires its full meaning. In this view, the investigation and identification of the role cooperatives have played in raising social and economic status are the main objectives of the study. In order to ensure the study's validity from a review of the literature, data from interviews with members of the Opi Saving and Credit Co-operative in Kirtipur Municipality Ward No. 6 in the Kathmandu District were used as a sample. There are 136 respondents in the sample. According to the study's findings, the co-operative's benefits to women have improved their incomes and raised their standard of life. As a result of their participation, communication, fund management discussions, cooperative power, and accountability, the study's member co-operative women are growing more physically and cognitively engaged.
Representation of Identity Crisis in Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist
Authors: Adhikari Rashmi Thapa
Published: May 2024

This paper underscores the existential status of the immigrants in the United States of America as portrayed in Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist written as a response to the 9/11 attacks occurred on 11 September 2001. In the post-9/11 situation, the identity of Pakistani immigrants is more at risk than before because of the perpetrators’ religious identity as widely perceived to be extreme. Being Pakistani means being part of a society divided into different groups that are at odds with each other over religious, sectarian and political issues. In such a situation, where Pakistan does not only fight a war against terrorism but is a victim of terrorism as well, it is simply impossible to have a single national identity. Not only at home Pakistanis suffer the repercussions of terrorism but also in the United States of American as depicted in the text. The characters cast in the novel represent different ethnic groups of people who reside in the United States of America. They are divided into liberals. However, only Muslim characters seem excluded from society. They are treated as others in the land of democracy. They feel homeless and suffer existential crisis. The paper has aimed at exploring the causes of identity crisis in the novel. The event of September 11 changed the way the Islamic world views fundamentalists and terrorists. The obsession of Hamid is the loss of values, religious and political exploitation of the masses, suicide bombings and sectarianism, and the consequent evolution of individual identity perception in an alienating social framework.

Authors: Das Santos Kumar , Dhobi Saddam Husain
Published: May 2024

Radiation shielding is a critical practice involving the utilization of materials or barriers to safeguard against ionizing radiation by absorbing, scattering, or blocking the radiation. Its primary objective is to curtail exposure and mitigate potential health risks associated with radiation. In diverse fields like medicine, industry, and nuclear applications, radiation shielding materials play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of individuals and equipment, contributing significantly to the maintenance of secure environments. This study focuses on characterizing materials for radiation shielding, particularly of Platinum group alloys in varying compositions with hydrogen. Using the Klein-Nishina (KN) formula, the investigation calculates electronic cross-sections (ECS), total mixture cross-section (TMCS), and mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) for different weight percentages of Platinum group alloys (0.1 to 0.6) when exposed to γ-ray photons of various energies. The outcomes emphasize the strong dependence of these cross-sections and MAC on photon energy and the charge number of the material, revealing a decrease with increasing photon energy and an increase with the charge number to mass number ratio (Z/A). The research underscores that fundamental parameters such as charge number, photon energy, and Z/A can be manipulated to enhance the utility of these elements in radiation shielding, protection, dose measurements, and imaging. The study's implications extend to the optimization of Platinum Group alloy compositions, offering insights for the development of tailored materials with enhanced shielding effectiveness in radiation protection and safety applications.

Exploring Social Dynamics in Homestay: A study of Bethanchowk Village Community Homestay
Authors: Rawal Sunil
Published: May 2024

This article explores the rich realm of home stays in Bethanchowk, revealing a complex web of cultural exchange, identity formation that is transformative, cooperative decision-making, and the significant impact of the local context. Host narratives shed light on the distinctive dynamics that distinguish home stays from other types of lodging. The process of cultural adaptation is gradual; visitors actively participate in local celebrations and customs, becoming essential strands in the rich tapestry of Bethanchowk culture. This mutual process enhances the travel experience for visitors while giving hosts priceless insights into various cultural viewpoints. Visitors who participate in a home stay experience leave with a small piece of the local identity, emphasizing transformative identity formation. By sharing their cultural heritage and encouraging positive metamorphoses, hosts contribute to influencing the perspectives of their guests. Established power structures in commercialized lodgings are challenged by the inclusive atmosphere, which values everyone and is characterized by group decision-making and a lack of hierarchy. This reciprocal experience is advantageous to guests as well as hosts. With a focus on the local environment, Bethanchowk's Village Community home stays provide visitors with a distinctive cultural experience through festivals, customs, and friendliness. Through cultural workshops and partnerships with local artisans, they work to continuously improve the home stay, making it flexible enough to adjust to guests' changing tastes and preserve its distinct ambience outside of the building. Home stay narratives are sociologically innovative spaces that transcend traditional hospitality models, fostering social interactions, cultural exchange, and identity co-creation. These findings highlight evolving consumer behavior in the hospitality sector and guide home stays towards a future where cultural exchange and enriched experiences remain at the forefront of innovation, guiding them towards a more fulfilling and enriching experience.

In the human digestive tract, there resides a very large number of microorganisms, including more than 400 different species of bacteria. Probiotics are defined as live bacteria that when introduced into the body in sufficient quantities will produce beneficial health effects. Probiotics (commonly known as digestive enzymes) are not drugs but are classified as nutritional supplements. In this study, we aim to investigate the probiotic properties of 2 strains of Bacillus bacteria isolated from fecal samples of healthy people, without the use of antibiotics or probiotic products for at least 1 month. The basic properties investigated include the hemolytic ability of bacteria, tolerance to artificial gastric acid and bile salt, and sensitivity to antibiotics. Out of a total of 72 isolates, 2 potential Bacillus strains were selected that did not cause hemolysis, were able to survive and survive in the harsh environment of the digestive system, and were sensitive to antibiotics commonly used for humans. On that basis, we initially evaluated the safety and potential application of these 2 strains to probiotic products.

APPLICATION OF COLD PLASMA TECHNOLOGY TO STRAWBERRIES (Fragaria x ananassa) AND COMPARING ITS EFFECT ON REDUCING THE Listeria innocua NRRL B-33016 AND Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 WITH MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY AND ULTRAVIOLET CONCENTRATION (UV-C) IN MODIFIED ATMOSPHERIC PACKAGES
Authors:   , Eseose Hope
Published: May 2024

Strawberries can become contaminated by pathogenic bacteria, such as Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli, which may originate from irrigation water and wildlife. The study investigated the efficacy of cold plasma (CP), ultraviolet C radiation (UV-C), microwave (MV), and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in reducing the presence of L. monocytogenes, E. coli, and spoilage microorganisms on strawberry surfaces. Listeria innocua B-33016 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 were separately inoculated on fresh strawberries. These non-pathogenic surrogates of L. monocytogenes and E. coli 157:H7, were substituted for the pathogens of concern. The strawberries were treated with three different doses of UV-C (5.4 Jcm-2, 10.8 Jcm-2, and 15 Jcm-2). A second study was performed by combining MAP with 15 Jcm-2 UV-C. The third study investigated the effect of combining MAP with microwave in reducing microorganisms on the surface of strawberries. The final study examined the application of cold plasma (CP) on inoculated strawberries at varying durations. After treatment, the strawberries were packed in aerated plastic containers and refrigerated at 4°C for 12 days. Strawberries were analyzed for both microbial and physicochemical parameters at three-day intervals. All treatments were performed in triplicates; mean separation was analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s studentized range test at α=0.05. The highest inactivation effect was observed in CP-treated strawberries, where Listeria and E. coli were reduced to non-detectable levels at day 3 and day 6, respectively. Lower inactivation was observed in MAP with microwave treatment. In general, although there was a reduction in microbial loads in all treatment methods employed, the physical properties such as weight, texture, pH, color, and soluble solids of the strawberries were either maintained or not negatively affected by the treatments. This study demonstrated that using non-thermal treatment methods to treat strawberries could reduce the viability of Listeria, E. coli, aerobes, yeast, and molds on strawberries.

Published: May 2024

Search for new solutions for water distillation and desalination is one of the most important challenges facing scientists around the world.  One of the promising methods of distillation and desalination of water is the use of the Maysotsenka cycle – a thermodynamic process, which use a psychrometric renewed energy available from the latent heat of water, which is evaporated into the airBy using the M-cycle, both energy savings and environmental benefits can be achieved. In this work, the technologies and technical solutions for distillation and water desalination systems according to the Maysovaluation cycle described in the literature are analized. Provided with diagrams of processes, installation and psychrometric diagrams. According to literature data, energy-saving distillation/desalination of water from stagnation of the M-cycle becomes 0.2…0.4 kW∙year/kg of water, which can compete with other desalination methods. The M-cycle has been shown to have the potential for a wide range of practical installations, while being characterized by a simpler installation design
ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF THE PRODUCTION OF BIOCHAR AND SOLID FUEL BASED ON BIOCAL
Authors: Kramar V.G. , Kramar V.G.
Published: May 2024

Useful disposal of industrial waste and biomass remains is increasingly relevant for Ukrainian enterprises. The purpose of this article is to find additional opportunities for the production of products with greater added value by processing waste and biomass residues to biochar. World prices for biochar are quite high, much higher than for the use of biocoals as fuel, and are around 800 EUR/t, maximum up to 1,800 EUR/t.
The main technical characteristics and price offers of equipment for the production of biochar from nine manufacturers from China, Germany, Finland, Norway and the Netherlands were analyzed. The results of feasibility study of the biochar production from sunflower husks on a technological line with an input productivity of 5 t/h for one of the Ukrainian vegetable oils production plants are presented. As the main equipment, a drum-type pyrolyzer heated by synthesis gas, formed during the thermochemical decomposition of biomass, was considered. Byproducts of production are also bioacetic acid and tar oil.
The financial indicators in the case of biochar export are attractive enough for implementation. The estimated simple payback period when using granulated husk was about 4 years at a price of biochar of 650 EUR/t and less than one year at a price of 800 EUR/t. When using non-granulated husk, the simple payback period was about 3 years, even at the price of biochar of 450 EUR/t.
Possible risks for implementation are the uncertainty regarding market demand and sales opportunities for biochar, quality requirements and the ability of the considered equipment to provide them, insufficient information regarding biochar yield from various biomass, as well as the lack of experience. Enterprises interested in the implementation of such a project are recommended to conduct trial processing of a batch of their raw materials on similar equipment in advance, to determine the share of biochar yield and its quality characteristics, to search for potential buyers to discuss quality requirements and possible prices.
STUDY OF THE PROCESS OF PLANT RAW MATERIAL EXTRACTION IN A STATIC-TYPE CAVITATION INLINE MIXER
Authors: Avdieieva L.Yu. , Makarenko A.A. , Turchyna T. Ya.
Published: May 2024

Abstract. The flowering heads of calendula have a significant content of biologically active substances (BAS) with a wide range of pharmacological activities. Traditional methods for obtaining their aqueous extracts include maceration or percolation. However, these methods have significant drawbacks. The rational choice of equipment and the study of the influence of thermophysical conditions on the extraction process of specific plant raw materials to intensify mass transfer processes are relevant.
The aim of the study is to investigate the transition of solid substances of calendula flowers into a soluble state in a flow cavitation mixer of a static type to intensify mass transfer processes in obtaining aqueous extracts.
For the research, previously ground dry calendula flower heads, swollen in distilled water at a hydro module of 1:15 and reduced to 0,1-2 mm, were used. The work was carried out on an experimental cavitation mixer of the Venturi tube type with a variable cavitation reactor with a nozzle throat diameter ranging from 0,006 m to 0,12 m. The efficiency of extraction was determined by the amount of water-soluble substances, and the cavitation phenomenon was characterized by the cavitation number.
Results: The overall design of the cavitation apparatus, the profile and geometric parameters of the nozzle, the flow parameters, as well as the properties of the plant material, significantly affect the hydrodynamic conditions and the development of cavitation effects during processing. The Venturi-type flow cavitation mixer used in the research showed high efficiency in processing mass transfer processes during the extraction of a water suspension of calendula flower heads. The results obtained indicate that the most significant impact of cavitation effects is observed at nozzle throat diameters of 0,08 m and 0,10 m, with cavitation numbers χ = 0,53 and χ = 0,84, respectively. In this case, the process duration can be limited to 60 seconds. The obtained conclusions are confirmed by microstructure studies.

The problem of state control does not lose relevance due to a need for compliancy with the foundations of its constitutional system enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan. At present, problems arise with identifying potential opportunities and limits of control functions and finding the most effective methods and forms of their implementation. The purpose of this study is to update problems with the constitutional and legal regulations of our Institute of State Control in this modern time. As a result of analysis within the content of the Constitution and a wide range of sources, certain things have been revealed: in the constitution, state control is regulated in a general abstract-systematic form, manifested through the interrelated action of a large number of constitutional norms. The issues of constitutional zing state control are closely related to constitutional and legal policies. The authors associate problems of constitutional and legal regulations within state control with the functioning of the basic law of state and society. As a rule, control functions are a tool, a means of implementing different functions towards the state. The article concludes that control is a statepower activity expressed from control bodies who then must give controlled objects mandatory instructions to eliminate detected deficiencies; initiating the question of bringing to justice those responsible for the revealed violations.

Opening the Black Box of Urban Development
Authors: Robins Steven , Baumgardt Laurin
Published: May 2024

This article focuses on efforts by indigenous activists to oppose a mega-development in the middle of the Two Rivers Urban Park (TRUP) at the River Club site in Observatory, Cape Town. In the article we argue that, even though the mega-development ultimately went ahead, intense contestation surrounding Khoi cultural heritage contributed towards opening up the ‘black box’ of urban development in Cape Town, as well as pressuring the developers to accommodate some of the demands of indigenous activists and environmentalists. We also examine why and on what terms it was even possible for a small group of indigenous activists to temporarily halt a mega-development driven by powerful actors, including Amazon, the City of Cape Town and private developers. Drawing inspiration from Bruno Latour's notion of the black box, we show how these anti-development activists were able to interrupt the construction process and create the conditions for opening up to public and legal scrutiny opaque urban development processes.
Contemporary cohort of cerebral cavernous malformations: natural history and utility of follow-up MRI
Authors: Flemming Kelly D. , Brown Robert D. , Lanzino Giuseppe
Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE

This study reports the natural history of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) in a contemporary cohort with prospectively collected data from multiple sources, access to follow-up imaging, integrated electronic medical records, and detailed imaging review by study investigators. The authors aimed to define the first prospective symptomatic hemorrhage (SH) and severe SH rates, determine the risk of a second prospective SH, and identify risk factors for SH.

METHODS

From a prospectively maintained database of adult patients with radiologically defined CCM, those with radiation-induced CCM, those who underwent surgery within 3 months postdiagnosis, and those with < 1 year of follow-up were excluded. The patients’ medical history and radiological features of the CCM were recorded at the time of diagnosis. Follow-up annual written surveys were completed for 5 years after the initial diagnosis and then semiannually thereafter in addition to medical record and follow-up imaging review. Outcomes of interest included SH and severe SH.

RESULTS

Of 315 patients, 58.7% were female and 19.7% had familial CCMs. At diagnosis, 37.1% of patients had ruptured CCMs and 28.9% of the CCMs were located in the brainstem. The 5-year cumulative rates of prospective SH and severe SH in those with ruptured CCMs at diagnosis were 41.2% and 12.8%, respectively, compared with 6.1% and 2.5% in patients with unruptured CCMs at diagnosis (p < 0.0001). Risk factors for prospective SH included a ruptured CCM at diagnosis and persistent or new hyperintensity on T1-weighted MRI performed > 3 months after baseline MRI. For those with a ruptured CCM at diagnosis, the risk of developing a second prospective SH was similar to that of developing a first SH.

CONCLUSIONS

In a contemporary cohort of adult patients with CCM, the authors report 5-year SH and severe SH rates, rates of second prospective hemorrhage, and predictors of SH. Persistent or new hyperintensity on T1-weighted MRI may be a useful marker of disease activity.

In this study, we employed an eco-friendly approach to produce nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) employing an aqueous leaf extract derived from Alternanthera sessilis. The resulting NiO NPs exhibited a monodispersed nature, as verified through UV-Vis spectroscopy, which exposed a clear peak at λmax 280 nm and stabilizing agents during the synthesis of A.S-NiO NPs. The XRD examination asserted the Face Centre Cubic (FCC) crystallinity of the biogenic A.S-NiO NPs. TEM examination revealed a size of 18 nm and a spherical morphology for A.S-NiO NPs. The biogenic NiO NPs demonstrated noteworthy antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. The DPPH scavenging activity was shown to be maximum at an amount of 100 μg/ml, at 62.72%, and an IC50 value of 86.46 μg/ml. Additionally, A.S-NiO NPs exhibited superior antibacterial efficacy P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and other bacteria showed the strongest antibacterial activity. S. pyogenas, and S. aureus, resulting in Zone of Inhibition values of 16 mm, 14.5 mm, 10.6 mm, and 6.5 mm, respectively. Furthermore, A.S-NiO NPs demonstrated potential dose-dependent anticancer efficacy against HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cell lines.

Published: May 2024

The present study elucidates the oxidation of alcohols to terpene ketones using dichloro(p-cymene) ruthenium (II) dimer catalyst by continuous flow process using a metal plate reactor. The synthesized products were separated and validated using GC, GCMS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR techniques. The reaction process exhibited product yield in the range of 80-95% on a scale of 1-80 grams. Optimization studies were conducted to calibrate the reaction conditions to improve the product yield. The scope of the reaction was explored using aromatic, cyclic, and aliphatic alcohols under optimized conditions, which resulted in high yields of terpene ketones. A reaction mechanism is proposed for the oxidation of alcohols by a continuous flow process. The significant advantages of the current protocol include synthesis at mild conditions, safer handling of reagents, flexibility to tune reaction conditions, and straightforward scale-up in the range of 1- 80 grams with high efficiency and reproducibility.

Một phương pháp tiên tiến mới hợp nhất hàm ổn định và mô hình dẻo phân tán (fiber) đã được phát triển bằng ngôn ngữ lập trình Fortran để tiên đoán ứng xử phi tuyến của dầm liên hợp thép bê tông chịu tải trọng tĩnh. Lợi thế của phương pháp này là khả năng phân tích chính xác ứng xử phi tuyến chỉ với một hoặc hai phần tử trên cấu kiện, điều này giúp cải thiện đáng kể thời gian phân tích mô hình. Ngoài ra, hiện tượng mất ổn định cục bộ bản bụng cũng được xem xét. Thuật toán GDC (Generalized Displacement Control) với khả năng phân tích sau điểm cực hạn sẽ được sử dụng để giải các phương trình cân bằng phi tuyến thay thế cho thuật toán Newton-Raphson truyền thống. Ma trận độ cứng của phần tử được tích phân thông qua khung tích phân số Gauss-Lobatto trong khi ảnh hưởng phi tuyến hình học P-δ và P-∆ được xem xét bằng hàm ổn định và ma trận hình học tương ứng. Độ tin cậy và tính chính xác của phương pháp đề xuất được kiểm chứng thông qua việc so sánh kết quả phân tích với kết quả thí nghiệm và kết quả từ chương trình Abaqus. Kết quả thu được chứng minh rằng phương pháp đề xuất không chỉ chính xác mà còn cải thiện đáng kể thời gian tính toán và có khả năng xem xét hiện tượng mất ổn định cục bộ ở bản bụng. Do đó, phương pháp mới này sẽ cung cấp một công cụ mới cho thực hành thiết kế dầm liên hợp
