The Ideas of Fairness in Philosophy Grygorii Skovoroda in the Context of Western Philosophical Tradition of Interpretation of the Concept of Justice (To the 300th Anniversary of the Philosopher)
Authors: Hrabovska Iryna
Published: July 2022

The article examines the specifics of philosophical criticism in the period of the “late” UkrSSR Western concepts of philosophy, psychology, and arts using Larysa Levchuk’s books “Art in the Struggle of Ideologies” and her “Psychoanalysis: From the Unconscious to ‘Fatigue of Consciousness’”.
Annotation. The article is dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian philosopher Hryhoriy Savych Skovoroda.Each epoch has its own view of an outstanding person and their creative work, in particular when it comes to philosophical heritage. Along with the image of the philosopher evolves and understanding of his fundamental ideas and teachings. Their reading and mastering acquire consonance with the problems of the modern time, or lose relevance in it.The article examines one of the cross-cutting ideas of Skovoroda's philosophy – the idea of justice. A comparative analysis of the Ukrainian philosopher's interpretation of fairness with the Western European tradition of considering this idea for many centuries of human history has been made – from the works of the Aristotle, the biblical texts and to the contemporaries of the Ukrainian traveling philosopher, with whose works he was familiar due to the journey to Europe of the time and teaching at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.The special importance of fairness in the mentality of Ukrainians is pointed out. Special attention is paid to the concept of justice in connection with the events of the Revolution of Dignity and the war of Ukraine against the Russian fascists and the neo-totalitarian Putin regime.The conclusions state that celebrating the 300th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian philosopher Hryhoriy Skovoroda in this turbulent year in the history of modern Ukraine in 2022, particular emphasis should be placed on the Ukrainian nation's assertion of its ideas of fairness, freedom and human dignity in practice.
"Here Everything Is: Harmony, Beauty and Perfection, Nature All In One Acord Has Gone Together…" (To the 145th Anniversary of the Birth and 90th Anniversary of the Death of Maksymilian Oleksandrovych Voloshyn)
Authors: Krasnodemska Iryna
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the life and creative activity of the thinker, poet, artist Maximilian Alexandrovich Voloshin, whose anniversary and death are celebrated this year. His biographical pages are revealed, the versatility and brightness of his talent are shown. M. Voloshin played a significant role in the development of Ukrainian cultural and artistic life of the late XIX – early decades of XX century. He was a highly educated man: poet, publicist, literary and art critic, artist, philosopher and had a paradoxical mindset. It was in Crimea, in Koktebel, that M. Voloshin felt inspired, here he discovered his artistic talent and became a talented watercolorist and painted most of his artworks, which reflect his connection with the peninsula. He wrote Cimmeria not from nature, but from his own method of the finished image. Due to this, his favorite Crimean landscapes with poetic inscriptions were published. As a representative of symbolism and Acmeism, in poetry and painting he displayed the history and nature of Crimea. The artist wanted a person to desire to walk on this earth and breathe in the full chest of air while looking at the picture. Maximilian Alexandrovich denied the Russianness of Crimea and condemned its conquest by the Russian Empire and the practice of Russian rule in it.The artist's work has not been adequately evaluated for a long time, so we must objectively continue to study it in order to clarify the importance of his creative heritage in contemporary public life and to learn experiences and lessons for future generations of Ukrainians and Russians.
Magyar anyanyelvű gyermekek szókincsének változásairól óvodáskor végétől kisiskolás korig
Authors: Horváth Viktória
Published: July 2022

A szókincs fejlődése az anyanyelv elsajátításának egyik fontos területe. Mikor jelennek meg az első szavak a gyermekeknél? Mennyi szót tanul naponta egy gyermek? Mekkora lehet a szókincs nagysága az egyes életkorokban? A kutatók és szakemberek tapasztalata szerint rendkívül nehéz pontosan megállapítani a szókincs nagyságát, leginkább csak becsült adatok állnak rendelkezésre. A bizonyos helyzetekben használt szavak ugyanis nem fedik le az ismert szavak halmazát; továbbá a szókincs nagysága és elemei az ember egész élete során változnak. A tanulmány magyar anyanyelvű óvodás és kisiskolás gyermekek szókincsét tárgyalja a közelmúlt hazai szakirodalmi eredményeire támaszkodva; kitér továbbá a hazai gyakorlatban legelterjedtebb szókincsvizsgáló eljárások bemutatására is. Az empirikus kutatások hangsúlyozzák, hogy óriási különbségek vannak az azonos életkorú gyermekek szókincstesztekben produkált teljesítménye között, ennek pedig pedagógia vonatkozásai is vannak. Az életkornak megfelelő szókincs, illetve a lexikális aktiválás megfelelő működése alapvetően fontos a tanulási folyamatok szempontjából. A szókincsbeli elmaradással iskolába lépő gyermek hátránnyal indul a tanulásban, ezért fontos a szókincs preventív fejlesztése.
How to Measure and Enhance Knowing Without Knowing? A Systematic Bibliometric Mapping and Visualization of Relationships between Rational and Intuitive Decision-Making Styles To Explore Training Methods
Authors: Fellnhofer Katharina
Published: July 2022

In this work, we investigate rational and intuitive decision-making styles via a literature review by taking advantage of advanced bibliometric analysis techniques. The aim of this mapping and clustering analysis is to systematically explore organizational research dedicated to cognitive styles to discover how the phenomenon of intuition shapes and is shaped by individuals in organizational contexts. This work aims to inspire future research, in particular for measuring intuitive decision making – that is, the unconscious form – with a particular focus on the organizational framework. The data examined from the Web of Science and Scopus databases comprise 20,582 peer reviewed documents published through the end of 2019. Based on this research review of decision-making styles across research domains and entrepreneurship literature in particular, this first systematic bibliometric mapping and visualization study offers insights and inspiration on how to measure and enhance intuition with a particular focus on the unconscious mind to investigate knowing without knowing with new approaches in the context of organizations.

The matter wave is space-time wave
Authors: Deng Xiao-han
Published: July 2022

This paper aims to point out that a wave function is a description of a quantum spatiotemporal entanglement and the transformation between time and space. In any quantum mechanical representation, the real part of the wave function represents the space wave and the imaginary part represents the time wave, and they are the space-time itself. Time wave is not limited by space and dominates the nonlocality and integrity of a quantum. Matter wave is a four-dimensional space-time wave, and the basic unit of vacuum is a four-dimensional space-time element stationary relative to the observer. The essence of quantum measurement or interaction is that a conjugate condensation equivalent to that determined by inner product operation occurs between Space-time waves. Particle property is only the localization effect of quantum global collapse when quantum position measurement or equivalent interaction is made.
Differential expression of TJP3 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2022

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of women with breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding tight junction protein 3, TJP3, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 70 and higher, and in women aged 45 and younger. TJP3 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of TJP3 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in human breast cancer. TJP3 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

The Metacognition in Self-Control Scale (MISCS)
Authors: Bürgler Sebastian , Hennecke Marie , Kleinke Kristian
Published: July 2022

Metacognition is a well-researched construct important to successful learning. Recent studies show that state-level metacognition regarding self-control conflicts is also important for successfully resolving these conflicts. Because there exists no scale to assess trait-level metacognition in self-control and because of limitations of commonly used measures in self-control research, we adapted a scale that is widely used to assess trait-level metacognition in self-regulated learning, the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI). In two studies (N = 315 and N = 503), we constructed the 12-item Metacognition in Self-Control Scale (MISCS), which loaded on the two factors metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation. The MISCS showed a good fit with good internal consistencies. In a 10-day experience sampling part of study 2, which included 9,639 reports of self-control conflicts, higher trait-levels of metacognition as measured with the MISCS predicted higher state-levels of success in resolving these conflicts, as well as higher state-levels of the subcomponents of metacognition, namely metacognitive knowledge, planning, monitoring, and evaluation. Most of these associations persisted when controlling for trait self-control, supporting the usefulness of the scale beyond the most commonly used scale in self-control research. The MISCS showed adequate test-retest reliability. Correlations with other scales, limitations, and future directions are discussed.
Human self-domestication and the evolution of prosody
Authors: Benítez-Burraco Antonio , Elvira-García Wendy
Published: July 2022

Human self-domestication refers to a new evolutionary hypothesis about human origins. According to this view, humans have experienced changes that are similar to those observed in domesticated mammals and that have provided us with many of the behavioural, and perhaps cognitive pre-requisites for supporting our complex social practices and advanced culture. At the core of this hypothesis is the claim that self-domestication is triggered by a reduction in reactive aggression. The human self-domestication hypothesis has been recently used to account for aspects of the sophistication of the grammars of human languages resulting from a cultural mechanism. Nonetheless, less research has been done in the domain of phonology, even though animal evidence suggests that domestication favours call complexity. In this paper, we hypothesize about the effects of increased self-domestication on human prosody. We argue for a progressive complexification of prosody that parallels (and is possibly involved in a positive feed-back loop with) the complexification of grammar in response to a reduction in reactive aggression levels. We build on evidence of diverse nature, from language typology to language acquisition studies.
Forensic Science Decision-Making: Expertise Lends Both Skills and Vulnerabilities
Authors: Growns Bethany , Neal Tess M.S.
Published: July 2022

This chapter focuses on the expertise of forensic science practitioners who make legally-relevant decisions from both a skills-based and vulnerabilities-based perspective. We bring together research relevant to forensic examiners’ decision-making to inform the development of empirically-based solutions for some of the issues we raise. We begin by describing a general model of bias in judgment, explaining how experts can be vulnerable to systematic errors and biases in decision-making, but also how expertise can protect against bias in some circumstances. We then explore the cognitive mechanisms underpinning forensic science expertise to explore the unique abilities examiners develop, the important role of these unique abilities in forensic science decision-making, and their implications for selection and training. We describe what can be done now to enhance experts’ strengths and mitigate the negative effects of bias. Finally, we conclude by exploring how future research can continue to explore the unique abilities and vulnerabilities in forensic science decision-making to enhance professional performance.
See Something, Say Something? Exploring the Gap between Real and Imagined Moral Courage
Authors: Kemper Nathan , Campbell Dylan , Reiman Anna
Published: July 2022

Research shows that people often do not intervene to stop immoral action from happening. However, limited information is available on why people fail to intervene. Two preregistered studies (Ns = 248, 131) explored this gap in the literature by staging a theft in front of participants and immediately interviewing them to inquire about their reasons for intervening or not intervening. Across both studies, most participants did not try to stop the theft or even report it to the experimenter afterwards. Furthermore, many participants reported confusion and inattention as precursors to non-intervention, yielding insight into what inhibits moral courage.
Cultural amnesia or continuity? Expressions of han in K-pop
Authors: Boman Bjorn
Published: July 2022

K-pop content is generally associated with romantic love, immaturity, synchronized dance choreographies, attractive performers and globally fashionable pop music. However, over the last years more variability in regard to lyrics and music, partly linked to increased artistic agency among some entertainment companies, has been manifested. In this article, I have analysed how the cultural concept of han (associated with grief or resentment among Korean people) is expressed among groups and artists like BTS, (G)I-dle and Luna/Jambinai. The findings indicate that han in such discourses, while sometimes implicit rather than explicit, expresses lost love, the transgenerational understanding of Korean grief, or an appeal to the collective feeling of vulnerability among global audiences.
A lovable metaphor: On the affect, language and design of ‘cute’
Authors: Gn Joel
Published: July 2022

Approaching the cute object as a metaphor for the lovable, this article provides a survey of the different approaches to the study of cuteness and uses their intersections to map out a three-domain approach that incorporates the dimensions of affect, language and design. When considered in isolation, these domains highlight specific facets of cuteness, but their intersection underscores an important etymological tension that continuously transforms the metaphors of cuteness. These changes do not compromise the primary meaning of cuteness, but lead to a reinvention of the lovable, whereby the cute object continues to represent an abstraction of a particularly affectionate connection to the other. Therefore, the arguments presented will demonstrate that the notion of cuteness emerges through a particular etymological tension embedded in the idea of ‘cuteness’ that reifies aesthetic concepts through the relationship between the individual’s affective experience and the operation of language through culture.
Tourism and local identity generated by NHK’s morning drama: The intersection of memory and imagination in Kobe
Authors: Jang Kyungjae
Published: July 2022

This article shows how the interplay of local memories, the imagined worlds of media products and tourism can redefine the image of a particular place. Using the concepts of ‘places of memory’ (Nora) and ‘places of the imagination’ (Reijnders), the author analyses how NHK’s morning drama (asadora) Kazamidori (The Weather Vane) (1977–1978) had a significant impact on the development of Kobe’s Kitano-chō district. The fusion of local memory and the world imagined in the series has resulted in the foreign settlers’ mansions (so-called Ijinkan) being developed into a tourism resource and declared a national cultural heritage. As the example of Kazamidori shows, certain aspects of local history are accentuated and others deliberately ignored in such processes of heritage building, while both the media and tourism can play an important role in placemaking.
CORPORATE LIABILITY, COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES, AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Authors: Atkinson Nathan
Published: July 2022

Financial penalties imposed on malfeasant corporations can produce “collateral consequences,” or unintended negative impacts on employees, customers, and society more broadly. I show that the vast majority of government bodies that assess organizational penalties have adopted policies to reduce corporate liability where collateral consequences might otherwise result. Moreover, I demonstrate that officials do re- duce penalties in line with these policies, undermining deterrence, and compensation. However, evidence from reductions given to publicly-traded firms suggests that officials are often wrong in their assessment of firms’ financial health, thereby awarding reductions to healthy firms where collateral consequences are unlikely to occur. I discuss how officials should approach imposing penalties when they are concerned about prospective collateral consequences.
Gentzen’s “cut rule” and quantum measurement in terms of Hilbert arithmetic. Metaphor and understanding modeled formally
Authors: Penchev Vasil Dinev
Published: July 2022

Hilbert arithmetic in a wide sense, including Hilbert arithmetic in a narrow sense consisting by two dual and anti-isometric Peano arithmetics, on the one hand, and the qubit Hilbert space (originating for the standard separable complex Hilbert space of quantum mechanics), on the other hand, allows for an arithmetic version of Gentzen’s cut elimination and quantum measurement to be described uniformy as two processes occurring accordingly in those two branches. A philosophical reflection also justifying that unity by quantum neo-Pythagoreanism links it to the opposition of propositional logic, to which Gentzen’s cut rule refers immediately, on the one hand, and the linguistic and mathematical theory of metaphor therefore sharing the same structure borrowed from Hilbert arithmetic in a wide sense. An example by hermeneutical circle modeled as a dual pair of a syllogism (accomplishable also by a Turing machine) and a relevant metaphor (being a formal and logical mistake and thus fundamentally inaccessible to any Turing machine) visualizes human understanding corresponding also to Gentzen’s cut elimination and the Gödel dichotomy about the relation of arithmetic to set theory: either incompleteness or contradiction. The metaphor as the complementing “half” of any understanding of hermeneutical circle is what allows for that Gödel-like incompleteness to be overcome in human thought.
Border officer training in Canada: identifying organisational governance technologies
Authors: Lalonde Patrick C.
Published: July 2022

While recent scholarship has begun the difficult task of unpacking the sociology of frontline border policing, literature examining how frontline border officers are governed through training and organizational governance technologies is sparse (particularly in terms of how officers are trained to interact with and form perceptions of the public they serve). This article provides the first concrete examination of border officer training by conducting a Foucauldian discourse analysis of various officer training and other documents to determine the contours of organizational governance technologies and how they serve to guide border services officers (BSOs) employed by Canada Border Services Agency in interacting with and perceiving of members of the travelling public. Findings indicate that governance technologies include training documents, manuals, public policy, and a bifurcated agency governance hierarchy serving to enable, support, and constrain BSO frontline duties, public interactions, as well as potentially perceptions. Findings also reveal that officers receive very little training related to interacting with members of the travelling public on the frontline. Officers also receive very little instruction related to how they should prioritize their disparate duties related to interacting with the travelling public. Findings ultimately indicate that when training is present, governance technologies – alongside recent shifts in agency organizational governance – contain systematic biases that produce officer worldviews and social interactions that are rooted exclusively in security provision, while leaving BSOs without the tools necessary to handle other types of public interactions that regularly occur at the border.
Profiting from Pollution
Authors: Atkinson Nathan
Published: July 2022

This Article presents original results from a large-scale study of environmental violations. I use the universe of civil Clean Air Act environmental violations by stationary emitters of pollution to test the effectiveness of EPA enforcement. Using conservative assumptions, I find that in 36% of cases, it is profitable for firms to violate the Clean Air Act, even after paying fines. Importantly, the profitability of noncompliance is increasing in the size of the violation, such that almost every large violation of the Clean Air Act is profitable. In aggregate, I estimate that penalties imposed by the EPA would have to be four times greater than those imposed to achieve the EPA’s stated policy goal of removing the economic benefits of noncompliance. In every case of profitable noncompliance, the EPA had statutory authority to impose a larger penalty, and official EPA policies called for a larger penalty. I further find that the most profitable violations are also the most harmful to the environment in terms of net emissions. My study suggests that some firms have little financial incentive to comply with the Clean Air Act and suggests that if the EPA were to comply with its own policies, this effect would be mitigated.
Calculating Contraceptive Prevalence and Unmet Family Planning Need in the Republic of Moldova using the Generations and Gender Survey
Authors: Koops Judith Christel
Published: July 2022

Contraceptive prevalence and unmet need for family planning are two metrics needed to track the progress of Sustainable Development Goal 3.7 which aims to ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services by 2030. Research on unmet need for family planning and to a lesser extend contraceptive prevalence are mostly focused on high-fertility countries situated in the Global South. The Generations and Gender Survey is a cross-national longitudinal survey which collects information on population and family dynamics in low-fertility settings in Europe, Asia and South America. Recently, its questionnaire was adjusted in order to capture all information needed to calculate unmet need for family planning and contraceptive prevalence. Calculating these family planning indicators can be difficult and is time-consuming. To reduce this burden, this technical paper demonstrates how to calculate unmet need for family planning and contraceptive prevalence with Generations and Gender Survey data collected in the Republic of Moldova. By making the calculation reproducible, this paper aims to stimulate family planning research in low-fertility settings.
An everyday glimpse of the nation: NHK’s morning drama (asadora) and rituality
Authors: Scherer Elisabeth
Published: July 2022

NHK’s morning drama (asadora) has been an important institution on Japanese television since the 1960s and is also known as ‘national drama’. This article discusses this media format in the context of rituals and nationhood: watching asadora has become an everyday ritual that can convey a sense of national unity, and the series functions as a ‘media ritual’ that naturalizes the concept of the Japanese nation, thereby also strengthening the symbolic power of the public broadcaster NHK. As the example of Hiyokko (2017) shows, the producers of this series evoke collective memory and nostalgia by depicting everyday culture and large, nationally charged events such as the 1964 Olympic Games. Reflecting on asadora can shed light on the political and ideological dimensions of seemingly ‘banal’ media products as well as provide more general insights into the development of television in times of social media and the disappearance of the ‘national’ TV audience.
Productive efficiency of organic vegetable grown in kitchen garden of Chitwan, Nepal
Authors: Dhakal S. C.
Published: July 2022

Kitchen gardening in general and organic vegetable production in particular are gaining popularity, and have been becoming indispensable component of Nepalese farming system. This concept could be promoted in order to reduce market dependency for vegetables; increase access to pesticide free products for home consumption, and for minimizing malnutrition and poverty. This research was done to estimate the cost, return, profitability and productive efficiency of organic vegetable grown in kitchen gardens of Chitwan using primary data, obtained from 123 randomly selected households. Samples were selected using simple random sampling techniques, and data were analyzed using Stata-12 for estimating descriptive statistics, Cobb- Douglas production function, allocative efficiency and frontier production function. Average size of holding for organic vegetable production was 0.65 kattha with gross margin of NRs. 9,312 per kattha and benefit cost ratio 2.19. Human labor, seed and organic manure significantly and positively contributed to the productivity of organic kitchen gardening, resulting return to scale value at 0.57. Majority of inputs, such as seed, organic manure, and irrigation were underutilized, and human labor was over utilized. Labour has been utilizing at technically efficient level in spite of its overutilization in allocative efficient measure. Almost all kitchen garden firms were operating at 90% efficiency and they require about NRs. 17,116 annual income per kattha for achieving this efficiency level. Organic vegetable production in kitchen garden system is profitable and there is scope to increase the expenditure on better seeds, organic manures, and irrigation for achieving the maximum productive efficiency by about 69, 61, and 496%, respectively. Policy support for promoting the distribution and adoption of vegetable seeds of improved varieties, composting, green manuring and increased use of irrigation seems fruitful to increase the productive efficiency of organic vegetable grown in kitchen garden of Chitwan district, Nepal.

Published: July 2022

An experiment was done at Horticulture Research Division, Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), Khumaltar, Nepal under polyhouse condition to access different traits of six capsicum genotypes: HRDCAP-001, HRDCAP-003, HRDCAP-004, HRDCAP-005, HRDCAP-006, and California Wonder (check variety) with the objective to evaluate yield and quality. The experiment was done by using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications for each treatment. All the collected data were analyzed by using Gentstat statistical software package. Results revealed that tested genotypes were significantly different (p<0.05) in terms of traits characteristics considered for the study. Accordingly, California Wonder was the best for fruit length (86.11 mm), fruit width (70.45 mm), and fruit weight (126.12 g) while HRDCAP-001 was superior in pericarp thickness (6.44 mm), fruit yield (2.46 kg per plant; 68.3 t/ha) and shelf life (6.80 days). California Wonder had lowest physiological weight loss at different days after harvest. This study recognizes HRDCAP-001 to be a promising genotype. Hence, there is a possibility to release this genotype as a variety for commercial cultivation, however, a multi location trial prior to its release is deemed necessary. Furthermore, all evaluated genotypes through this research could be utilized for capsicum breeding in Nepal.
Effect of plant growth regulators on flowering and fruit yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Malini) in Chitwan, Nepal
Authors: Sapkota B. , Dhital M. , Shrestha B. , Tripathi K. M.
Published: July 2022

An experiment was done at Rambagh, Chitwan during March to May 2018 with the objective to evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators on growth, flowering and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus.) cv. Malini. The experiment consisted of nine treatments viz., control (no spray), silver nitrate 250 ppm spray, ethephon 250 ppm spray, gibberellic acid (GA3) 300 ppm spray, napthalene acetic acid (NAA) 50 ppm spray, silver nitrate 500 ppm spray, ethephon 250 ppm spray, gibberellic acid (GA3) 500 ppm spry, and napthalene acetic acid (NAA) 100 ppm spray; each treatment was replicated thrice. Findings revealed that use of plant growth regulators significantly affected growth, flowering and fruit yield of cucumber. The highest plant height was measured for GA3 300 ppm spray whereas lowest plant height was measured for NAA 100 ppm spray. Likewise, GA3 300 ppm spray had produced highest number of lateral branches. On the other hand, highest number of male flower was recorded in control, but highest number of female flower was recorded for ethephon 250 ppm spray whereas it was lowest for control (14.00). The highest and lowest fruit length was recorded if GA3 500 ppm and ethephon 250 ppm were sprayed, respectively. Likewise, the highest fruit numbers per plant was recorded in GA3 300 ppm application whereas the control had the lowest number of fruit produced. The highest fruit yield was produced from the application of GA3 300 ppm (109.7 t/ha) while the lowest fruit yield was recorded in control (40.53 t/ha). The B: C ratio was high in GA3 300 ppm (4.37) application as well. These results indicate the benefit of spraying GA3 300 ppm to have a better performance and fruit yield of cucumber compared to the other treatments with varied concentrations of NAA and GA3.
Different seed rates of forage maize with a fixed stand of cowpea affects proximate composition of both species
Authors: Barsila S. R.
Published: July 2022

Mixed cultivation of fodder maize (Zea mays) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is popular due to their fast-growing, high biomass yielding, high palatable, and mutualistic growing behavior. Evaluation of status of chemical composition of these mixed stands grown with different seed rates of maize, but with a fixed stand of cowpea would suggest the best period of forage harvesting and also the appropriate seed rate. Accordingly an experiment was done by following standard agronomic practices to grow maize-cowpea at Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU) Rampur, Nepal during May to September 2016. The experiment was done by using randomized complete block design (RCBD) consisting of 4 treatments, T1 (40kg/ ha maize seed), T2 (50kg/ha maize seed), T3 (30kg/ha maize seed) and T4 (40kg/ha maize seed + weeding) along with 20 kg/ha of cowpea seed for each treatment, and 5 replications, under a similar rate of chemical fertilizer. Samples were tested for proximate analysis at Animal Nutrition laboratory of AFU. A highly significant result was obtained among different treatments for crude fibre, crude protein, and ash content while ether extract content was statistically similar among the treatments in both the harvests. Maximum ash (10.94%) and crude fibre (31.24%) content were obtained in T1 on maize stem, and higher crude protein (CP) (28.09%) content was obtained in T3 on cowpea that was similar with T2 on cowpea for CP content at 45 days after sowing. At 75 days after sowing, higher crude fibre (CF) (35.87%) content was obtained for treatment T4 on maize stem. Research results suggested that harvesting of maize is suitable at 45 days after sowing (DAS) if higher ash and crude fibre requirement for balanced feed is expected to meet by using 40 kg seed rate of maize/ha whereas harvesting of cowpea at 75 DAS would be more appropriate if highest crude protein content is expected to harvest, but it would be possible to attain at the cost of higher crude fiber content. Nevertheless results clearly indicated that inclusion of fodder cowpea as a legume component in a fodder stand, such as maize could be helpful for a persistent nutritive value during later stage of harvesting.

In the course of this study, a survey was carried out among the 380 households to collect the data, and descriptive statistics were used to analyse and interpret the data. As a result, it has been found that the households are motivated to spend on their children's basic education to formulate human capital on them. Moreover, they devote their scarce resources to their children's basic education to make them competent in the labour market through which their future life will be decent.
Strategies of Gender Mainstreaming in Provincial Election of Nepal
Authors: Khadka Gopal
Published: July 2022

An election brings changes in society. Both politics and gender emphasize power, prestige, and privileges. The gender gap in politics indicates the level of participation during all aspects of the election. The gender gap in the electoral system proliferates complexity in gender inequality. Gender mainstreaming is a globally accepted means to reduce gender inequality. To examine the status and strategies of gender mainstreaming in provincial level first-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system, this article is prepared as the title “Strategies of Gender Mainstreaming in Provincial Election of Nepal”. The analysis of this study is based on the report of provincial election published by the election commission, Nepal.  A simple and systematic literature review is conducted to collect essential information to fulfill objectives. This study is based on the critical mass theory, critical act approach, and gender mainstreaming approach. There was a low level of gender mainstreaming at the provincial level FPTP electoral system in Nepal. All political parties should formulate and implement an effective strategy at the political level to increase gender mainstreaming in electoral activities. The government of Nepal must implement the Provision of sustainable development goals, the constitution of Nepal, and the international declaration of human rights regarding gender mainstreaming as soon as possible.

This paper attempts to test the achievement level of students who are studying English as a Compulsory English (hereafter CE) and a Major English (hereafter ME) at Bachelor of Education (hereafter B.Ed.) level at Dhankuta Multiple Campus under Tribhuvan University's syllabus. Both CE and ME groups are being taught the same books as the Compulsory English in the same class by the same teacher. Most of the CE groups fail in the exam in compulsory English. On the basis of findings, this paper recommends that both CE and ME should not be taught together in the same class. They should be treated differently in different classroom.

Authors: Acharya Umesh
Published: July 2022

The objective of this paper is to analyse the lifestyle of the Botes living in Baireni of Tanahun and Karmaiya of Sarlahi District of Nepali. Traditional livelihood patterns of both places are in transition.  Now they are shifting towards agriculture, manual labour, government job, carpentry and engaging in foreign employment. To examine all these issues, this research has adopted over two geographical locations, namely Baireni of Tanahun district and Karmaiya of Sarlahi district; the method is exploratory, descriptive and comparative. In order to meet the objectives of this research, data collections were from multiple approaches. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and household surveys were two forms of the the data collection in this research. Collection of oral history, key informant interview, focus group discussion, informal meeting were also applied. It has made the entire methodology an admixture of Qual-Quan approaches. This study concludes that there are a number of instances of livelihood diversification among the Botes of Karmaiya in Sarlahi and Baireni in Tanahun district. Some of such diversifications include commercialization of farm in the rural Bote villages. This has come about because of urban expansion, expansion of various non-agricultural work opportunities in factories, workshops, private offices and to some extent government office as a result of urbanization. This supports the findings of Ellis (1998) and Babbington (1999).

Pandemic COVID-19 makes it important to apply the proper and correct use of masks. The correct use of a mask where its use can cover the nose mouth and chin. One of the problems in using masks is that there are still many people who have not used masks properly and correctly. The importance of the correct use of masks because the transmission of the Covid-19 itself does not only occur through splashes when sneezing or coughing between humans but can also occur when talking or breathing by spreading through fluid particles less than 0.0002 inches (5 microns) in diameter called aerosols that are emitted when people talk. From these problemsÂ  it is necessary to have a computational-based analysis system to be able to identify patterns and make decisions and perform certain tasks automatically so that the results obtained are more efficient and objective. In this study, a deep learning method with a resnetÂ  50 will be used to obtain the correct and incorrect results of using masks. The results of this study indicate that the deep learning method with resnet 50 is able to achieve 98.41% accuracy in classifying the correct and incorrect use of masks.
Uporaba informacijskih tehnologij pri svetovalnem in psihoterapevtskem delu s skupinami v času epidemije COVID-19
Authors: Batagelj Tadeja
Published: July 2022

Izbruh epidemije covid-19 je v svetovalni in terapevtski prostor prinesel številne nenadne spremembe. Izvajalci storitev so morali v kratkem času spremeniti način delovanja in iz svetovanja v živo preiti na delo na daljavo, večinoma preko na splet. Zaradi razmer so se pojavile povečane stiske pri uporabnikih storitev, kar je vodilo v povečane potrebe po tovrstnih obravnavah. Pri tem pa je analiza stanja pokazala, da so se izvajalci tovrstne pomoči s spremembami soočali brez jasnih smernic in dokazov o učinkovitosti novih oblik dela. Namen prispevka je osvetliti teoretične ugotovitve raziskav glede skupinskih oblik svetovalnega in terapevtskega dela na daljavo, osvetliti uporabnosti in pomanjkljivosti informacijskih tehnologij, ki tovrstno delo omogočajo ter predstaviti praktične izkušnje in mnenja uporabnikov tovrstnih oblik dela na Svetovalnem centru za otroke, mladostnike in starše Maribor. Vsi predstavljeni rezultati vodijo do ugotovite, da je skupinsko svetovalno in terapevtsko delo preko videokonferenc kljub nekaterim omejitvam in ob pomanjkanju teoretičnih dokazov o učinkovitosti, v praksi učinkovit in pri uporabnikih dobro sprejet način dela, za katerega bi bilo smiselno, da se v prihodnosti v večji meri uvaja v svetovalno in terapevtsko delo.

Infrared laser as a heat source could induce gene expression by activating heat promoter genes in Caenorhabditis elegans, as previously reported. In this study, we innovatively used a 266-nm laser to irradiate C. elegans for only one second and observed a significant inhibition of the overall number of eggs laid (P < 0.0001) and the first day egg laying (P=0.005). This is the first study to establish how light with a wavelength of 266-nm can influence a life activity such as laying eggs in C. elegans.

Today the anatomical collection in the plastic anatomy room of the National Academy of Fine Art and Architecture is the largest in comparison with other art institutions of Ukraine, and can be the subject of a separate art historical study.
Casus Turkeltaub: An Objectivity Ratio
Authors: Klekovkin Olexander
Published: July 2022

Each type of activity (namely the respective system of professional criteria, not the boundless creative ecstasy sent down by the gods) is rooted in standards and examples, looks up to role models and figures, whose significance is limited to historical period, subculture, etc. Until recently, theatre criticism, still being one of the main sources for the history of theatre through the late 19th to early 21st centuries, also had such examples. However, until now, some of these sources are accepted uncritically; thus, there is a need to investigate the principles guiding the theatre reporters and to define—for each period, figure, and theatre studio—their objectivity ratio, and hence, their efficiency. Such historical sources include Isaac Turkeltaub’slegacy of theatre criticism, who was one of the most prolific theatre critics in Kharkiv in the mid-1920s, or as it is said today, an influencer. The paper examines Turkeltaub’s identification, attempts to decode his critical algorithm, and analyze some of the principles of his writings in the field of theatre criticism from the point of view of the alleged objectivity ratio.
