Name as an innate linguistic property
Authors:   LRC Publishing House, Koshelev Alexey D.
Published: October 2023

The article shows that the child learns the names of objects from the input only because the property of an object to have a name is innate for the child. According to recent experiments by S. Waxman et al., 6-month-old infants, hearing adults consistently call different objects with one word, spontaneously form a subject category from them. This result indicates a very early influence of speech on the cognition of infants, which clearly contradicts the classical position (V. Stern, L.S. Vygotsky) that speech and thinking have different genetic roots. Therefore, they initially develop separately in a child and only after a year and a half they connect. To explain the new results, an alternative hypothesis is proposed in the article: speech and thinking have a single genetic root, since the name of an object is initially included as a special sensory (acoustic) characteristic among its sensory characteristics (visual, acoustic, tactile, etc.). In view of this, the mental representation of the object has the form: “perceptual Image of the object + its Name”. It is assumed that when infants perceive similar objects and hear that they are called the same word, for example, they see different dogs and hear the phrase This is a dog every time, instances of this structure are concretized in their minds: “Dog image 1 + dog”, “Dog image 2 + dog” etc. As a result, a set of different images of dogs with the same name dog is collected in their memory. Following the property of an innate name – to name identical objects, – infants combine these instances into one category – Dogs and build a typical image – the Form from specific Images. As a result, the concept “DOG = Form of dog + dog” appears in the memory of infants. Thus, it explains how early infant categories and concepts are formed with the help of names. Next, experimental data supporting this hypothesis are considered.

The state of lipid metabolism indicators and the system of peroxidation — antioxidant protection in aluminum production workers with occupational bronchopulmonary pathology
Authors: Beigel Elena A. , Kudaeva Irina V. , Masnavievа Ludmila B.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. In aluminum production workers, the most common occupational pathology is bronchopulmonary diseases, which are characterized by the formation of comorbid pathologies. Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary and cardiovascular pathologies.
The study aims to research the indicators of oxidative metabolism and antioxidant protection in aluminum production workers with occupational bronchopulmonary pathology (OBPP) during work and post-contact period.
Materials and methods. During the study, on the basis of the therapeutic department of the clinic at East-Siberian Institute of Medical and Ecological Research, scientists examined 130 patients — workers of aluminum production, with an established professional diagnosis of the bronchopulmonary system both during work and in the post-contact period. The authors have analyzed the indicators of oxidative stress, lipid metabolism and the concentration of antibodies to oxidized low-density lipoproteins.
Results. In patients with OBPP, decreased superoxide dismutase activity was more common during work than in the post-exposure period. About 60% of the examined patients had elevated cholesterol levels, almost 40% had higher reference values of the atherogenicity index and the content of antibodies to oxidized low-density lipoproteins. Cholesterol levels in high-density lipoproteins in individuals with OBPP in the long-term period were lower than in individuals with the same pathology during the work period.
Conclusion. The depletion of antioxidant protection in workers in the post-contact period of the OBPP, the researchers noted in the form of a decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase in every third person examined, which can lead to the formation of endothelial dysfunction. An increase in the fractions of atherogenic cholesterol is accompanied by a significant increase in the occurrence of a reduced level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which has anti-atherogenic properties.
Ethics. The examination of patients met ethical standards in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of the World Association "Ethical Principles of Conducting Scientific Medical Research with Human Participation", as amended in 2000 and the "Rules of Clinical Practice in the Russian Federation", approved by Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 266 of 06/19/2003. All the surveyed signed an informed consent to participate in the study. The protocol of the study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the East Siberian Institute of Medical and Environmental Research (Protocol No. 6 of 10.03.2020).
Initial assessment of dioxins polluting the environment outside the sanitary zone of the landfill of production and consumption waste "Lesnaya" (Serpukhov, Moscow region)

Published: October 2023

Introduction. Landfills of production and consumption waste exist everywhere. Their operation is closely related to unwanted emissions and/or discharges of dioxins. The processes of transfer of these chemicals by air and water flow outside sanitary zones, inclusion in trophic chains, bioaccumulation and overcumulation can contribute to the launch of a toxic process when low subtoxic doses are contained in the medium. It is especially important to take this into account for agro-industrial and residential regions.
The study aims to assess the dioxin pollution of the environment outside the sanitary zone of the solid waste landfill of production and consumption "Lesnaya" (landfill "Lesnaya") by initial (screening) studies of the expected risk to public health.
Materials and methods. Experts characterized dioxin contamination by concentrations of compounds toxic to humans in specially prepared samples, as well as indicators of general toxicity (WHO-TEQ    05). The researchers obtained samples from the surface layers of soil and animal carcasses representing successive generations (groupings) of the winter and summer seasons of the natural population of the bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus). Concentrations of related substances were measured by high-resolution chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Results. All samples contained dioxins. The good comparability of the profiles of congeners of these substances in soil samples and animal tissues testifies to the general history of their origin, as well as the formation of conditions in the environment for the almost continuous action of small doses of mixtures of these substances on the inhabitants. In soil samples, the values of the WHO-TEQ    05 index were significantly less than the hygienic standard. In animal tissues, concentrations of congeners characterized by pronounced hormone-like toxicity, teratogenic, embryotoxic and carcinogenic properties, primarily 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, were very high.
Conclusions. The consequences of prolonged exposure to the local natural population of the bank vole of small doses of dioxins in conditions of environmental pollution outside the sanitary zone of the Lesnaya landfill were characterized by the accumulation in their tissues of toxicants with hormone-like properties capable of triggering the mechanisms of formation and development of the toxic process at any concentrations. The scientific and practical significance of the obtained result is determined by the prospects for creating a methodological technique based on it to solve the problem of initial (screening) assessment of the risk to public health, namely the danger of low concentrations (doses) of dioxins polluting the environment.

Published: October 2023

This study aims to determine how much the agricultural, industrial and service sectors affect Value Added Tax revenues in low and lower middle income countries with rule of law as moderating variable. The independent variables used in this study are the proportion of the agricultural sector to GDP, the proportion of the industrial sector to GDP, the proportion of the service sector to GDP, the dependent variable used is VAT revenue while the moderating variable is the rule of law. This study uses secondary data with a population of 27 countries with low and lower middle income in a span of seven years, from 2009 to 2015. The statistical method used in this study is quantitative method with multiple linear regression using panel-corrected standard error regression model. The results showed that before being moderated by the rule of law, the agricultural, industrial and service sectors had no effect on VAT revenues. But after being moderated by the rule of law, the agricultural, industrial and service sectors have a positive influence on VAT revenues. Thus, the government is expected to focus attention on the rule of law. Good rule of law will increase investor confidence in the existence of applicable laws and also related to property rights, law enforcement officers, courts and also low levels of crime and violence which ultimately increase tax revenues reflected in increased VAT revenues.
Review Of Value Added Tax On Palm Kernel Expeller After The Supreme Court Decision (Putusan Mahkamah Agung) Number 70P/HUM/2013
Authors: Aprian Galu Bernie , Irawan Ferry
Published: October 2023

Palm Kernel Expeller (PKE) is a by-product of the secondary processing of fresh fruit bunches (FFB). The problem related to VAT arises when there are differences in interpretation of the regulations relating to the transaction of PKE, whether transcation of PKE is subject to VAT which is subject to tax invoice code or transcation which receives facilities of the exemption from VAT which are subject to tax invoice code 08. This research uses a normative-empirical approach by using main documents in the form of supreme court decision on judicial review of PKE case. The research results show that the judge concludes that the implementing regulations for the transaction of PKE used for animal feed must be in line with Supreme Court Decisions Number 70P/HUM/2013 and SE-24/PJ/2014. Second, both tax authorities and taxpayers must find out information about PKE’s buyers because PKE has other benefits besides being used for animal feed. If it is used for other things, then the transaction is contrary to the aim and purpose of providing VAT facilities in the form of exemption.

STRESS ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERISTICS DUE TO THE SOUTH JAVA EARTHQUAKE, APRIL 10, 2021
Authors: Yuliatmoko Rahmat Setyo , Sulastri Sulastri
Published: October 2023

The April 10, 2021, earthquake in the south of East Java was classified as destructive. The secondary impact of this earthquake was quite significant. Many houses collapsed, and not a few casualties. This earthquake is unique because usually, destructive earthquakes occur at shallow depths, but earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.1 are classified as medium-depth earthquakes at sea. The earthquake in the south of East Java is classified as an intraplate earthquake because it is located on the continental plate, not in the plate contact area. The question is whether the damage that occurred to the building was purely due to the magnitude of the stress released by the earthquake or whether there were other factors. This study uses seismogram data for the earthquake south of East Java on April 10, 2021, with a radius (∆) of 300-1000 recorded at MEEK, MORW, and ARMA stations in Australia. It calculates the amount of stress based on the stress drop, while the stress column determines the stress mechanism. Calculation of stress drop from the source spectrum is obtained by the deconvolution method, namely the seismogram component separation technique in the form of Source (f), Path (f), Site (f), and Instrument (f). The analysis of the observed displacement spectrum used the Nelder Mead Simplex nonlinear inversion method. Meanwhile, the Stress Columb calculation was obtained using the Columb 3.3 program from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The result of this research is that the stress drop value is 1.69 MPa, with the type of focus mechanism being a thrust fault in the sea. The earthquake in the south of East Java was caused by rock activity in the intraplate. The value of the stress drop is more significant when compared to the subduction contact area. This area is of intraplate rock with various variations, and earthquakes are rare. This study aims to analyze the stress, both the magnitude of the stress drop and the mechanism of the column stress results, so that the stress caused by the earthquake can be known and why the earthquake in the south of East Java is destructive. The quake in Southeast Java is classified as dangerous, not because of the magnitude of the stress generated or its mechanism. The damage was due to the amplification of earthquake waves in the building. The injury occurred because most of the buildings were built on soft soil, especially in several areas in East Java, such as Lumajang, Pasuruan, Trenggalek, Probolinggo, Ponorogo, Jember, Tulunggagung, Nganjuk, Pacitan, and several urban areas, namely Blitar, Kediri, Malang, and Stone. So, there is a need for earthquake disaster mitigation, especially in densely populated areas that live on soft soil. This mitigation effort is to minimize the occurrence of casualties by building buildings according to earthquake-resistant standards and avoiding development in the regions that have the potential for amplification of earthquake waves.

Published: October 2023

ChannelsDB 2.0 is an updated database providing structural information about the position, geometry and physicochemical properties of protein channels - tunnels and pores - within deposited biomacromolecular structures from PDB and AlphaFoldDB databases. The newly deposited information originated from several sources. Firstly, we included data calculated using a popular CAVER tool to complement the data obtained using original MOLE tool for detection and analysis of protein tunnels and pores. Secondly, we added tunnels starting from cofactors within the AlphaFill database to enlarge the scope of the database to protein models based on Uniprot. This has enlarged available channel annotations ~4.6 times as of 1st September 2023. The database stores information about geometrical features, e.g., length and radius, and physico-chemical properties based on channel-lining amino acids. The stored data are interlinked with the available UniProt mutation annotation data. ChannelsDB 2.0 provides an excellent resource for deep analysis of the role of biomacromolecular tunnels and pores. The database is available free of charge: https://channelsdb2.biodata.ceitec.cz.

When Smaller Local Governments Permit More Housing: Reassessing the Effect of Local Control on Land Use Policy
Authors: Larsen Martin Vinæs , Kettel Laura
Published: October 2023

Housing scarcity is a widespread social and economic problem. Researchers and pundits often attribute scarcity to local control over land use, because it makes the relevant policymakers responsive to a smaller electorate. Challenging this argument, we suggest smaller jurisdictions might have a greater ability and a stronger incentive to raise tax revenue through housebuilding, and therefore increasing the size of the electorate policymakers are responsive to could lead to more restrictive housing policy. To explore this question empirically, we study a reform that consolidated select Danish municipalities, effectively increasing the size of the local electorate. Using a difference-in-difference design, we identify a robust causal effect of the reform on housing supply, showing that the treated municipalities permit less housing. By demonstrating that politicians permit less housing when they become accountable to a larger electorate, our study suggests that the question of how local control shapes land use policy remains unsettled.

Longitudinal national evidence that social media use did not drive climate skepticism and polarization in the 2010s
Authors: Fischer Helen , Huff Markus , Sibley Chris G , Milfont Taciano L
Published: October 2023

The global rise of social media has profoundly changed the ways in which citizens search for information; yet there is still uncertainty regarding the extent to which this societal transformation should be a cause for concern. One popular notion holds that the rise of social media in the 2010s contributed to the proliferation of climate skeptic and polarized beliefs. However, extant evidence relies predominantly on (repeated and one-shot) cross-sectional studies. Here, we leverage a longitudinal national panel survey unique to New Zealand that tracked social media use and climate change beliefs consistently among the same citizens (N=3.611) across four annual waves (2011-2014; wave-to-wave retention rates: > 80%). Results revealed that first, climate change belief trajectories were consistently positive (becoming less skeptical), regardless of whether citizens were Facebook users or non-users; speaking against the notion that social media use fostered climate skeptic beliefs. Second, Facebook users who were initially more skeptical tended to increase more in their climate change beliefs compared to Facebook users who were initially less skeptic; effectively reducing (vs. exacerbating) polarization. These results were robust for both beliefs in the reality, and the human cause of climate change; across different operationalizations of social media use; and held despite consistent evidence for the politicization of climate change in New Zealand during the study period. This evidence challenges the notion that the global rise of social media in the 2010s exacerbated climate skepticism and polarization.

The First Thing We Do, 47 J. Marshall L. Rev. 1275 (2014)
Authors: Roig Jorge R.
Published: October 2023

There is currently a concerted effort to dumb down America. In the midst of this, the American Bar Association’s Council of the Section on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar recently agreed to propose that tenure for law professors be eliminated as a requirement for accreditation of law schools. This article analyzes the arguments for and against tenure in legal academia, and concludes that the main proposed justifications for eliminating tenure are highly questionable, at best. A lawyer is more than a legal technocrat. Lawyers are policy makers and public defenders. They are prosecutors and activists. And the development of a critical and independent mind is no more important in any area of human action than in the law. There is a concerted effort to turn law schools into automaton production lines. Practice-ready, skills-oriented legal education (quite meritorious in itself) has become code for the manufacture of attorneys capable only of following their corporate clients’ instructions to the tee. The goal of this concerted effort is not a truly practice-ready and skilled attorney. The endgame is a mindless legal machine. That is not what a legal education is about. The survival of critical thought is at stake. This is not just about law professors. This is but one salvo in a much larger war against independent minds.
introduction to organizational behavier
Authors: Vadya Sahra
Published: October 2023

Perilaku adalah tindakan atau perbuatan seseorang/Tim/Organisasi yang dapat diamati dan bahkan dipelajari. Karna saat kita berinteraksi dengan orang lain dengan jangka waktu tertentu mengalami perbedaan.Kalo kita baru kenal dengan seseorang pastinya akan cenderung ber hati-hati, kenapa karna kita belom tau orang itu seperti apa karakternya, sifatnya, kepribadiannya, prilakunya tetapi lambat laun ketika kita sering berinteraksi dalam jangka waktu yg cukup panjang maka lama kelamaan kita akan mengenal orang tersebut seperti apa. Begitu juga ketika kita satu tim atau kita masuk organisasi tertentu maka kita pun akan melakukan hal-hal yang sama, kita melakukan pengamatan dulu orang tersebut seperti apa, anggota tim kelompok kita seperti apa, kemudian orang-orang yang ada dalam organisasi yang baru kita seperti apa kita biasanya melakukan pengamatan terlebih dahulu. Kemudian setelah itu kita coba mempelajari tim A, tim B, tim C seperti apa baru kemudian kita bisa menunjukan sikap atau perilaku kita sebaiknya seperti apa.Organisasi adalah kelompok orang yang saling berinteraksi, bekerja sama, melakukan aktivitas yang berkaitan satu sama lain untuk mencapai berbagai tujuan dari organisasi tersebut. Dan tujuannya adalah untuk mencapai target-target yang telah disepakati atau untuk mencapai tujuan-tujuan yang telah ditetapkan oleh organisasi.PO adalah kajian tentang apa yang orang pikirkan, rasakan, dan lakukan di dalam dan sekitar organisasi baik itu di dalam organisasi maupun di sekitar organisasi yang kemudian dampaknya akan mempengaruhi aktivitas orang tersebut dalam organisasi. Jadi level bahasan kita apasi yang orang pikirkan, apa yang ada di dalam benak seseorang, apa yang orang rasakan atau feel, dan juga apa yang orang lakukan baik itu di dalam organisasi misalkan ketika mereka menjalankan berbagai tugas-tugas, pekerjaan atau job-job yang mereka terima dalam organisasi maupun apa yang mereka fikirkan, rasakan, dan lakukan di luar organisasi. Kenapa, karna bisa jadi aktivitas, fikiran, dan perilaku mereka yang ada di luar organisasi tersebut akan mempengaruhi juga tentang aktivitas atau perilaku mereka di dalam organisasi sehingga perilaku orgaisasi di sini memotret aktivitas seseorang baik itu ketika dia berada di dalam suatu organisasi maupun dia berada di sekitar atau di luar organisasi.

SemanticScape: A Distributional Model of Concepts Grounded in Distance Patterns between Objects
Authors: de Varda Andrea , Petilli Marco A. , Marelli Marco
Published: October 2023

Data-driven models of concepts are gaining popularity in Psychology and Cognitive Science. Distributional semantic models represent word meanings as abstract word co-occurrence patterns, and excel at capturing human meaning intuitions about conceptual relationships; however, they lack the explicit links to the physical world that humans acquire through perception. Computer vision neural networks, on the other hand, can produce representations of visually-grounded concepts, but they do not support the extraction of information about the relationships between objects. To bridge the gap between distributional semantic models and computer vision networks, we introduce SemanticScape, a model of semantic concepts grounded in the visual relationships between objects in natural images. The model captures the latent statistics of the spatial organization of objects in the visual environment. Its implementation is based on the calculation of the summed Euclidean distances between all object pairs in visual scenes, which are then abstracted by means of dimensionality reduction. We validate our model against human explicit intuitions on semantic and visual similarity, relatedness, analogical reasoning, and several semantic and visual implicit processing measurements. Our results show that SemanticScape explains variance in human responses in the semantic tasks above and beyond what can be accounted for by standard distributional semantic models and convolutional neural networks; however, it is not predictive of human performance in implicit perceptual tasks.
An Antidote to Overpathologizing Computer-Mediated Communication
Authors: Katiyar Tanay , Hunt Adam , Chaudhary Nikhil , Jaeggi Adrian
Published: October 2023

Mixed associations are recurrently found between computer-mediated communication (CMC) and mental health & well-being. Recently, different theoretical efforts have emerged to parse these mixed results. However, evolutionary considerations in such efforts remain largely on the periphery, despite fields like evolutionary medicine and anthropology often theorising about mental health problems arising due to evolutionarily novel environmental circumstances: so-called evolutionary mismatch. While certain aspects of CMC have been previously identified as plausible evolutionary mismatches, two important limitations emerge: (a) a failure to contextualise the negative mental health effects of CMC against other broader societal factors which are plausible pre-existing evolutionary mismatches themselves; (b) ignoring the positive effects of CMC in mitigating these mismatches. In this paper, we propose an evolutionary perspective that addresses these two limitations while noting distinct epistemic and empirical benefits of such a perspective (e.g. providing a culturally invariant theory-driven baseline of ‘normal behaviour’, renewed theoretical focus on alternative variables, concrete design recommendations). Importantly, we contend that our perspective serves as an antidote to the overpathologisation of novel behaviours facilitated by CMC by framing such behaviours within the hunter-gatherer social environment characterising the majority of our evolutionary history.
PELAKSANAAN FUNGSI KEIMIGRASIAN DI PERBATASAN NEGARA
Authors: Kaja Jade Emris Yeverson
Published: October 2023

Tempat Pemeriksaan Imigrasi (TPI) merupakan zona yang ditetapkan untuk pemeriksaan keimigrasian sebagai tempat pelaksanaan fungsi keimigrasian. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat seberapa optimal peran TPI dalam pelaksanaan fungsi keimigrasian di perbatasan Indonesia dan Timor Leste. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian normatif-empiris. Metode penelitian normatif-empiris menggunakan data yang diperoleh dari studi literatur yakni peraturan perundang-undangan, buku-buku, serta jurnal-jurnal ilmiah yang relevan, dan dilanjutkan dengan melakukan wawancara dan observasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa terdapat beberapa TPI di perbatasan Indonesia dan Timor Leste kurang optimal dalam pelaksanaan fungsi keimigrasian. Hal tersebut dapat dikaji dari 3 (tiga) aspek, yakni kelembagaan, sumber daya manusia, dan sarana prasarana. Lebih lanjut, terdapat beberapa hal yang dapat direkomendasikan bagi Ditjen Imigrasi dan pemangku kepentingan lainnya, yakni perlu adanya evaluasi dan pembaharuan terhadap nota kesepahaman antar dua negara, perlu adanya pendidikan pejabat imigrasi bagi petugas imigrasi yang bertugas di perbatasan Indonesia dan Timor Leste, perlu adanya aturan operasional yang mengakomodasi hak cuti tahunan tambahan, perlu adanya pembagian shift dalam pelaksanaan tugas, perlu adanya insentif tambahan bagi petugas imigrasi, serta perlu adanya perbaikan dan pembangunan sarana prasarana di TPI perbatasan Indonesia dan Timor Leste.
Online Teaching: Challenges Experienced by Students and Teachers during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Kathmandu
Authors: Gyawali Sindhu
Published: October 2023

COVID-19 pandemic has entirely put the world upside down and has adversely affected the economy, social life, tourism, education and others all around the globe. As there is a prolonged period of lockdown, there is uncertainty everywhere. The ravaged pandemic has affected the education sector widely. Due to the implementation of social distancing, almost all the universities and colleges throughout the world have been closed and are forced to shut down. Realizing the consequences, countries are internationally adopting a practice of online teaching in the pandemic period.

Online learning is in the nascent stage in countries like Nepal. This study aimed to gain insights into pro challenges encountered by teachers and students while transitioning to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in higher education. The study is based on an exploratory research design, following both quantitative and qualitative methods. A survey was conducted with a pre-structured questionnaire. Then the standardized open-ended interview was assessed with faculties and students who were engaged in online classes during a pandemic period.

This current study concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic should be taken as an opportunity brought by the crisis in the education sector. It was necessary for the Nepalese government and concerned stakeholders in education sector for immediate response so that education would not be in halt. However, there were some common challenges highlighted by participants such as limited electricity and unreliable internet, limited infrastructures and technology, and low digital knowledge and skills of teachers, which hampers the effectiveness of teaching-learning activities.
Imagination as Dynamism: Shaping Romantic Poetic Expressions
Authors: Sharma Lok Raj
Published: October 2023

Imagination is one of the significant characteristics of Romantic poetry. Romantic poetry is subjective and clairvoyant. The subjectivity and extrasensory instinct are revived due to sharp imagination. The principal purpose of this article is to explicate imagination as dynamism in shaping Romantic poetic expressions. For this purpose, poetic works of Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats and Byron have been analyzed by considering imagination as the core of poems. This article employed a qualitative approach, drawing upon an extensive compilation of primary and secondary sources pertaining to Romantic poetry and the role of imagination in shaping literary expressions during the Romantic era. The primary sources consisted of poems by Romantic poets, while secondary sources encompassed scholarly articles, books, and critical essays, all of which contributed valuable insights into the topic and enhanced the comprehension of Romantic poetry and imagination. Materials for the study included terms, phrases, and assertions related to Romantic Imagination, and the method employed for analysis consisted of critical analysis. The primary focus of the analysis was to examine how Romantic poets explored and portrayed imagination across a wide range of their poetic works. This analytical process was executed subsequent to an extensive literature review on the subject matter. The study of this article will not only offer a comprehensive analysis of how imagination served as a dynamic force in shaping Romantic poetic expressions, but will also explore the broader implications of imagination in literature, culture, and art.
Parents’ Attitude towards Community Schools and its Influence in the Choice of Schools for Their Children
Authors: Chaulagai Sangam
Published: October 2023

This study has explored parents’ attitude towards community schools and its influence in the choice of schools for their children. Selection of school is directly associated with quality education and academic excellence of children that ultimately affect their future careers. Privatisation in education has provided options for parents to select either community or private schools for their children. This study analysed and interpreted data from a neoliberal perspective employing a qualitative research design. The data were collected through interviews and observations from two community and two private schools representatively. Ten parents, who were selected purposively from those four schools and four headteachers of those schools were the participants of this study. The study found that parents generally had negative attitude towards community schools, but some of the community schools had been able to change the attitude of parents towards community schools. The effect of the neoliberal culture could be seen among the parents which played a significant role in parents' decision of choosing schools to enroll their children.  Hence, the study concluded that parents’ negative attitude towards community schools have affected the selection of schools for their children in Nepal.
Protestantism; Spirit of Capitalism and Inequality
Authors: Giri Prakash Chandra
Published: October 2023

Max Weber, a German Sociologist, clearly states that one of the key factors of capitalism is the Protestantism and its religious values. He critically argues that the religious ideas and concepts of groups like Protestants promoted the capitalistic spirit. He further explores that the religion is one of the key causes of the modern economic conditions. Even though there are some critiques and opponent views, he states protestant (Calvinism) helped to bring a dimension and a stage for the social development of capitalism. Therefore, it was a first major analysis of the effect of religion to form an economic system because Protestantism was one supporting factor for the Capitalistic spirit which also led inequality.
