Рождение нефтяной Сибири. Нефтеразведка против углеперегонки на рубеже 1920–1930-х годов (часть 2)
Authors: Евдошенко Ю.В.
Published: March 2023

В первой части статьи (см. «ЭКО» №1/2023) освещена история организации нефтепоисковых работ в Сибири до 1932 г. Во второй части рассматривается ранее неизвестный аспект решения проблемы нефтепродуктообеспечения региона в 1920-е – начало 1930-х годов за счет производства искусственного жидкого топлива (ИЖТ) из местных углей. Углеперегонка была частью общего тренда мировой энергетики межвоенного периода. Здесь впервые описан процесс превращения этой технологии в одно из направлений промышленного и технологического развития Урало-Кузбасского комбината. Показано, что, в отличие от нефтеразведки, производство ИЖТ из твердых горючих ископаемых в Сибири стало предметом внимания не только научной общественности, региональных властей, но и центральных органов управления – ВСНХ СССР, Госплана СССР и СТО. Это обусловило успешный старт углеперегонки и выделение необходимых средств для организации опытного производства.
Тернистые пути российского биотеха
Authors: Веселова Э.Ш.
Published: March 2023

В статье обсуждаются проблемы развития биотехнологической промышленности России и возможности импортозамещения в отдельных ее сегментах. Приводится краткая историческая справка, на основании научных и аналитических публикаций, интервью с участниками рынка сформулированы ключевые проблемы современного этапа развития. Использованы материалы круглого стола «ЭКО» «Биотехнологии в промышленности и сельском хозяйстве», состоявшегося 22 октября 2022 г. Автор приходит к выводу, что ключевыми барьерами развития этих направлений являются отсутствие координации в управлении, неразвитость законодательного обеспечения оборота биотехнологической продукции и недостаток инвестиций в отрасль. По сути, это означает отсутствие внятной государственной политики в отношении данного стратегического сектора.

Does ESG Performance Affect Financial Performance? Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Ihsani Azharn Nafis , Nidar Sulaeman Rahman , Kurniawan Meinanda
Published: March 2023

Economic, social, and environmental issues are currently becoming major worldwide issues. Geopolitical, social, and economic power streams have focused on ESG goals, encouraging companies, investors, and governments to apply them to every aspect of business. The current constraint is that Indonesian business stakeholders are still typically focused on short-term profits, which are intended to transform towards long-term sustainability. This study examines the effect of ESG performance on corporate financial performance. The primary analysis tool in this study uses panel data regression analysis with the Random Effect Regression Model. The sample was selected from 23 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with an observation period of 2018–2020. The results of this study indicate that the performance of ESG and its sub-dimensions has a positive effect on the financial performance of accounting-based companies as measured using ROA. However, on a market-based proxy with Tobin's Q, ESG performance and its sub-dimensions have not been able to influence the corporate financial performance. Some important reasons companies are involved in environmental, social, and governance activities are to create competitive advantage, reduce company risk, improve market performance, and enhance the company's sustainable development capabilities.

Published: March 2023

The significant technological advances observed in the 21st century and resulting sociological changes require social adaptation. These changes created an essential role for the teachers to instruct the changing qualifications. The present study aimed to determine the profile of preschool teachers in Turkey. Thus, this research was designed as a descriptive study. The study group included 652 teachers. Most of the teachers participating in the research were female participants. Most of the teachers are graduates of pre-school education. However, there are also teachers who have graduated from child development and other fields. The "Turkish Preschool Education Student Profile Questionnaire" developed by Erkan et al. (2001) was adapted by the authors to research the teacher profile. When the findings were examined, it was found that 86% of the teachers participated in educational activities, and these educational activities generally participated in in-service trainings, scientific conferences and cultural events belonging to the ministry; they usually participate in these activities whenever they have the opportunity; the reasons for participating in educational activities are usually due to the lack of time and family situations; It has been determined that the hobbies of teachers are reading books, music, movies, theater and social media. In addition, it was determined that most of the teachers willingly chose pre-school education, as the reason for this, they generally showed that they love children and love to teach. Teachers stated that they volunteered to be a preschool teacher and that they love and care about children. The findings are discussed in the light of the relevant literature. Then recommendations are given.
El viaje transliterario en la novela El Verbo J (2018) de Claudia Hernández
Authors: Reyes Sebastian
Published: March 2023

La novela El Verbo J (2018) de la salvadoreña Claudia Hernández, se caracteriza por ser inédita, al presentar una protagonista transgénero en el contexto de El Salvador y su diáspora en EEUU en las últimas décadas. La obra es importante también para la literatura latinoamericana en general, porque despliega una estética trans, relacionada con el uso del estilo indirecto libre, la ausencia de nombres propios, la ambigüedad e indeterminación de sus cronotopos, entre otros elementos. El artículo analiza las significaciones del viaje y la integración del protagonista a una diáspora queer en EEUU, y las implicancias que tiene su transición de género para retorno a su país.
La literatura del desplazamiento en traducción: Cristina Peri Rossi y las traducciones al inglés
Authors: Goemans Elisabeth
Published: March 2023

En 1972, con el poder militar creciendo en Uruguay, la autora Cristina Peri Rossi (°1941, Montevideo) se vio obligada a exiliarse. Ya había perdido su cátedra en la universidad, y se habían prohibido sus libros y la mención de su nombre en los medios. Después de la desaparición de una estudiante suya, se mudó a Barcelona, donde todavía reside. En su colección de cuentos El museo de los esfuerzos inútiles (1983, Seix Barral), tematiza sensaciones como outsiderness y la soledad. En el poemario Estado de exilio (2002, Visor Libros), describe el abanico de emociones experimentado en el exilio, del desarraigo a la aceptación y amor verdadero al país adoptivo y su gente. Estos libros fueron traducidos al inglés, y las posturas de los traductores hacia el texto español tanto como sus convicciones ideológicas se reflejan en las elecciones traductivas. En este artículo, sostengo que el traductor de El museo prioriza la ambigüedad del desplazamiento al estilo característico de Peri Rossi, y que en la traducción de Estado de exilio la traductora expresa sus sentimientos revolucionarios y enfatiza la dificultad añadida de ser mujer en el exilio.

Distancias mínimas, genealogías lejanas. Lectura y paralaje en Otras cartas a Milena (2003), de Reina María Rodríguez
Authors: Garbatzky Irina
Published: March 2023

Otras cartas a Milena, libro de Reina María Rodríguez escrito a comienzos de la década de 1990, durante el momento más álgido del Período Especial, pondría en escena la construcción de una espacialidad singular, a través del motivo de un viaje no realizado a Europa del Este. Escritas desde La Habana a La Habana y dirigidas a su hija, Elis Milena, como doble de la corresponsal de Franz Kafka, estas otras cartas construyen en una distancia mínima y a través de una forma de lectura paraláctica, una espacialidad heterotópica (Foucault, 2010) que conecta geografías distantes y las proyecta sobre su realidad más cotidiana. A su vez, en su lectura de la biblioteca del Este, (la Milena de Kafka, Anna Ajmátova y Marina Tsvietáieva), Rodríguez habilita una escritura femenina y construye para sí una genealogía de escritoras cuya producción se multiplicó y proliferó aún en contextos de enorme violencia y precariedad.
Mi juventud unida (2022) de Mariano Blatt: la “poética del flasheo”
Authors: García Faet Berta
Published: March 2023

En este artículo estudio Mi juventud unida (2022), la poesía reunida de Mariano Blatt, que recoge textos desde 2006. El sujeto lírico se construye al ritmo de la deconstrucción de la masculinidad dominante: no se erige como “hombre” sino como “pibe” amante y amigo de otros “pibes”, en relaciones horizontales que reproducen y eternizan las intensidades afectivas de una edad imaginaria fronteriza entre la infancia, la adolescencia y una adultez que nunca llega a consolidarse como tal. Al mismo tiempo, su voz poética juega a disfrazarse de no-poética y, simultáneamente, hiper-poética. El movimiento heterodoxo de su escritura es pues doble: de un lado, repudia los códigos de la masculinidad tradicional reapropiándose de algunas de sus partes para desmoronarlas; de otro, retoma, rehaciéndolas a placer, las convenciones de la propia poesía como género literario.
Deconstrucciones de una masculinidad incipiente en la poesía de Luna Miguel
Authors: Vidorreta Torres Almudena
Published: March 2023

Una de las preocupaciones fundamentales entre las poetas españolas contemporáneas ha sido la participación en los debates sobre nociones como el género, la sexualidad, lo femenino y su importancia en el campo de las letras. Entre las voces más destacadas del panorama peninsular, se encuentra Luna Miguel (1990), cuya obra literaria, periodística y ensayística se nutre del empeño reiterado por enfrentarse a la hegemonía masculina desde diversos flancos. Este trabajo analiza algunas de las estrategias retóricas empleadas en Poesía masculina (2021), libro con el que pretende deconstruir tópicos tradicionalmente asociados con la denominada poesía femenina y tantear la autoficción en clave lírica, mientras apunta hacia los límites de una supuesta nueva masculinidad. Todo ello en el seno de una acogida polémica y la exploración de una genealogía literaria.

In a competitive marketplace, the competitiveness and survival of any corporation are often attributed to its ability to adopt innovative technology which bestows a competitive edge and reduced costs, improves the quality and the efficiency of its business processes. Cloud computing is a platform for the development of computational solutions for multiple fields of knowledge, as it offers cost-saving mechanisms and increased efficiency to organisations. Despite its maturity and enhancement, reviews pertaining to antecedents of cloud computing adoption in the Malaysian context are scarce. Thus, a systematic literature review usingScopus database for retrieving the related-articles was carried out to shed light on the antecedents of cloud computing adoption in the Malaysian context. The review revealed that the antecedents influencing cloud computing adoption includes technological context elements (relative advantages, technological readiness, cost saving and compatibility), organisational context elements (top management support) and environmental context elements (competitive pressure, external support/trading partner support/regulatory support, vendor reputation and trust). Understanding the antecedents of cloud computing adoption is crucial towards strengthening cloud computing adoption and, in turn, will improve the performance and competitiveness of corporate sectors.

Metabolic Changes in Cardiac Aging
Authors: Hao Yan , Liu Wei
Published: March 2023

Cardiac aging is a natural process accompanied by cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and dysfunction. These changes can lead to adverse organ remodeling and ultimately lead to the development of heart failure. The study of cardiac aging is helpful to explore the mechanism of senescence and is of great significance for preventing cardiac aging. Cardiac aging is accompanied by changes in various metabolic functions. In this process, due to the change of metabolic substrates and enzyme activities, oxidative stress response increases, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) increases, accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction and gene expression changes, so related protein metabolism also changes. Hormone metabolism and autophagy are also involved in the process of cardiac aging. Based on these findings, changes in diet, caloric restriction, improvement of mitochondrial function and promotion of autophagy have been proven to have positive effects in delaying cardiac aging. This article reviews the metabolic changes involved in the process of cardiac aging from different aspects, and briefly reviews the measures to improve cardiac aging.
Legong Keraton in the Perspective of Balinese Artists
Authors: Sudewi Ni Nyoman
Published: March 2023

Legong Keraton, one of the most influential Balinese dance genres in the growth of dance in Bali, has existed since the end of the nineteenth century. This dance has undergone three eras in Balinese culture, starting from the reign of kings, Dutch colonialism, and post-independence of Indonesia. The objective of this study is to find out how Balinese artists construe the existence of Legong Keraton. As a performing art, Legong appears in multiple layers and requires a multidisciplinary approach. The ethnochoreological approach, considered as a multidisciplinary approach, was implemented to examine objects from various aspects to obtain a complete and comprehensive understanding. The author carried out this qualitative study in procedural systematic manner including literature review, informant determination and interview, field observation, data sorting, and analysis. The results of the study indicate that Legong Keraton acts as a milestone in changing form of Balinese dance as a source of inspiration for the creation of works of art as well as a means of education. Furthermore, as a learning material, Legong Keraton has unique form and transmission method. Balinese artists consider Legong Keraton as a traditional art carrying the identity of Balinese dance that make it deserve to be appreciated and preserved.

Breaking News: Machine Learning Helps to Spot Fake News Before it Spreads
Authors: Aladeen Haffaz
Published: March 2023

The spread of fake news has become a major concern in today's society, as it can have serious consequences for individuals, organizations, and even governments. In this paper, we propose a machine learning approach to automatically detect fake news before it spreads. Our approach is based on the premise that fake news articles differ from real news articles in their use of language and the types of sources they cite. Therefore, we employ natural language processing techniques and machine learning algorithms to identify features that distinguish fake news from real news. We first preprocess the news articles by cleaning the text and extracting features such as the length of the article, the number of unique words, and the frequency of certain words. We then use these features as inputs to various machine learning algorithms, including support vector machines, logistic regression, and random forests. To evaluate our approach, we use a large dataset of news articles that have been labeled as either real or fake by human annotators. We compare the performance of our approach to several baseline methods for fake news detection, including a simple keyword-based approach and a rule-based approach. Our experimental results show that our approach outperforms all of the baseline methods, achieving an accuracy of over 90\% in identifying fake news articles. We also analyze the features that are most predictive of fake news and find that they include the use of emotionally charged language, the citation of unreliable sources, and the inclusion of false or misleading information. Our results demonstrate the potential of machine learning to help combat the spread of fake news and promote the dissemination of accurate information. By detecting fake news before it has a chance to spread, we can prevent the harm that it can cause to individuals, organizations, and society as a whole. Our approach can be applied to a wide range of domains and can be integrated into existing news monitoring systems to provide real-time detection of fake news articles.
Prevalence and Concordance of ICD-11 and DSM-5 Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostics Among Northern Irish Military Veterans
Authors: Robinson Martin , Hansen  , Armour Cherie
Published: March 2023

Background: There are two primary competing diagnostic criteria for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). These systems differ in terms of the number and nature of PTSD symptoms, the implied latent structure of the disorder, and associated post-traumatic diagnostic classifications.Objective: To investigate the prevalence and concordance of ICD-11 and DSM-5 PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and Dissociative Sub-type of PTSD (D-PTSD) criteria in a sample of Northern Irish military veterans.Methodology: Data were collected from a community sample of military veterans living in Northern Ireland. Prevalence rates of ICD-11 PTSD and C-PTSD and DSM-5 PTSD and D-PTSD were estimated using validated self-report measures for each system. Concordance of caseness determined by diagnostic criteria was compared using Cohen’s Kappa.Results: The DSM-5 criteria produced significantly higher prevalence estimates of PTSD (41.74%) relative to the ICD-11 criteria (32.09%). Both C-PTSD and D-PTSD were identified for subgroups within the sample (24.66% and 27.96% respectively). There was moderate agreement between the diagnostic systems regarding PTSD caseness, and between C-PTSD and D-PTSD caseness.Conclusions: These findings have implications regarding the measurement of PTSD and associated diagnostic groupings for the wider literature, suggesting that the choice of diagnostic screening framework may influence classification. Both C-PTSD and D-PTSD may be relevant diagnostic considerations for the NI military veteran group.

Authors: Alam Md. Mahmudul , Ismail Russayani , Said Jamaliah , Dirie Khadar Ahmed
Published: March 2023

To operate successfully in this credit card industry, various kinds of credit cards are offered to distinct user groups. This empirical study is conducted in Malaysia, and it examines the features of different types of credit card available. By using descriptive and one-way ANOVA test, this study analyses data of 234 credit cards which were collected from ringgitplus.com and imoney.my websites. The cards are categorised based on the usage purpose like airline tickets, insurance, dining, entertainment, fuel, lifestyle, groceries, shopping, utilities healthcare and general use. In total thirteen features are analysed for all of these cards. The findings show there is no significant difference in the purpose of cards based on the features of interest and profit rate, balance transfer annual charge, annual fees, annual fees for supplementary card, late payment, late payment maximum fees, cash withdrawal charges fees, minimum annual income, minimum age for primary cards, maximum age for primary cards, and minimum age for supplementary cards. However, only two features are statistically significant among the cards, these being cash back and interest rate on cash withdrawal. The findings will provide important insights for business managers, credit card users, and other policymakers regarding features and market segmentation in the credit card industry in Malaysia.
A Cloud-Native Honeynet Automation and Orchestration Framework
Authors: Ravi Akash , Sharma Bhavye , Mukherjee Avigyan
Published: March 2023

This research utilizes containerization techniques to dynamically build honeynets which provide a deceptive environment to the attacker and proposes a framework for its usage in existing cloud infrastructure. We aim to contribute to the existing literature on the creation of cost-effective dynamic honeynets. The proposed architecture can temporarily spin up honeypot services as it detects the attacker and log everything the attacker does for post-incident or experimental research. We use simulation of attacker isolation on cloud-native systems using docker, and integrate a virtual honeypot OS (Cowrie) to record logs, following which threat modeling on the proposed architecture has been used to qualitatively analyze and propose a general framework for its implementation. Potential benefits of the proposed framework include risk mitigation, cost-effectiveness in terms of memory and process, vendor agnostic, and finally, it also addresses moving target defenses i.e, continuously shifting the configuration of the underlying system making it harder to comprehend the honeynet implementation.

When citing please refer to the published version https://doi.org/10.1007/s40653-024-00656-zAbstractBackgroundIncreasingly more children return from ISIS’ Caliphate. They are considered potentially dangerous by their home countries, which might pose a challenge to their (re)integration. Based on experiences of Dutch children, now elderly, whose parents were members of the SS or NSB (a political party that collaborated with Nazi Germany) during WWII, this study explores and describes pitfalls and recommendations for the development and (re)integration of minor returnees from the Caliphate. Research questionsThe research questions were focussed on 1) participants’ experiences as children and as adults as a result of their background, 2) the effects of their experiences on their psychological well-being as children and as adults, 3) their coping responses, both during childhood and into adulthood, and (4) their recommendations on how to meet the needs of minor returnees. MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 Dutch adults, whose parents were members of the SS or NSB during WW II. The interview questions were based on re-occurring themes from literature, a codebook was generated and the verbatim transcribed interviews were scored using Atlas.ti 8. The results were analyzed and commonly reported codes were described, enriched with quotes from participants, and discussed. Results Participants reported social exclusion, being separated from their parents, and family secrecy as common experiences, with severe implications for their identity development, self-esteem, and family relationships. Their coping responses were active (e.g., searching information), avoiding (e.g., socially desirable behaviour) and using comforting thoughts. Participants’ main recommendations for minor returnees included: transparency within families about the past, an inclusive approach and respect for minor returnees’ loyalty to their parents. DiscussionIt is concluded that the experiences of the participants in this study may contribute to a better understanding of the developmental needs of minor returnees, which can help for successful (re)integration and for relevant policy making.
The effect of multisensory distraction on working memory: A role for task relevance? [RR stage 1 accepted manuscript]
Authors: Turoman Nora , Vergauwe Evie
Published: March 2023

There is growing recognition that working memory and selective attention are highly related. However, a key function of selective attention – ignoring distractors – is much less understood in the domain of working memory. In the attention domain, it is now clear that distractors’ task relevance and stimulation of multiple senses at the same time (i.e., being multisensory), affect how much such information can distract from the main task, and that load modulates these effects. Here, we examine the effects of the task relevance and multisensory nature of distractors on working memory performance under high and low memory load, with the aim to clarify whether distracting information similarly affects selective attention performance and working memory performance. We propose a multi-experiment research plan involving up to three consecutive experiments, based on an initial online study (Experiment 0) with fully task-irrelevant distractors. There, we found conclusive evidence against a difference in how unisensory and multisensory distractors affected working memory performance. The next study (Experiment 1) will be an in-person replication of Experiment 0. Next, four scenarios are possible as a function of 1) whether there is a difference between how unisensory and multisensory distractors affect working memory performance, and 2) whether this effect is modulated by memory load. Each scenario prescribes a different set of follow-up experiments, which are discussed in the manuscript. Taken together, these experiments constitute a novel, and detailed investigation of the impact of distracting information on working memory performance.
Health Protective Behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic: Risk Adaptation or Habituation?
Authors: Martin-Lapoirie Dylan , McColl Kathleen , Gallopel-Morvan Karine , ARWIDSON Pierre , Raude Jocelyn
Published: March 2023

Many epidemiological works show that human behaviours play a fundamental role in the spread of infectious diseases. However, we still do not know much about how people modify their Health Protective Behaviours (HPB), such as hygiene or social distancing measures, over time in response to the health threat during an epidemic. In this study, we examined the role of the epidemiological context in engagement in HPB through two possible mechanisms highlighted by research in the field of decision-making under risk: risk adaptation and risk habituation. These two different mechanisms were assumed to explain to a large extent the temporal variations in the public’s responsiveness to the health threat during the COVID-19 pandemic. To test them, we used self-reported data collected through a series of 25 cross-sectional surveys conducted in France among representative samples of the adult population, from March 2020 to September 2021 (N=50,019). Interestingly, we found that both mechanisms accounted relatively well for the temporal variation in the adoption of HPB, which is remarkable given their different assumptions about the underlying social cognitive processes involved in response to a health threat. These results suggest that strengthening the incentives for people to adopt HPB is crucial in critical settings, and that public health interventions should be designed to counter risk habituation effects over time.
Fear and anxiety differ in construal level and scope
Authors: Mayiwar Lewend , Björklund Fredrik
Published: March 2023

The fear-anxiety distinction has been extensively discussed and debated among emotion researchers. In this study, we tested this distinction from a social-cognitive perspective. Drawing on construal level theory and regulatory scope theory, we examined whether fear and anxiety differ in their underlying level of construal and scope. Results from a preregistered autobiographical recall study (N = 200) that concerned either a fear situation or an anxiety situation and a large dataset from Twitter (N = 104,949) indicated that anxiety was associated with a higher level of construal and a more expansive scope than fear. These findings support the notion that emotions serve as mental tools that deal with different challenges. While fear prompts people to seek immediate solutions to concrete threats in the here and now (contractive scope), anxiety prompts them to deal with distant and unknown threats that require more expansive and flexible solutions (expansive scope). Our study contributes to a growing literature on emotions and construal level and points to interesting avenues for further research.

A Study of Middle Age Sanskrit Poṣadha Palm-leaf Manual
Authors: Bajracharya Birat Raj
Published: March 2023

The Poṣadha, or observing of eight Buddhist precepts by lay and monastic people in Buddhism starts inthe lifetime of Buddha. With the growth of time, many Buddhist sects developed and they developed their Poṣadha methods (I.-Tsing, 1896). Among them is the tradition of the Sanskrit Mahayana monks. This article is about a palm-leaf manuscript [RAS Hudgson MS 70] from the Hudgson collection which is now in the South Asian society collection. This Poṣadha manual written by a novice has great significance as it takes us back to the time when the monks following Sanskrit tradition were still functioning. Interestingly this Poṣadha text is based largely on the Mahayana context and has very little Sravakayana influence. Directions for forming puṣpamaṇḍala has significant difference which hasn't been revealed before. This Vrata manual can be looked at as the initial ritualistic development of a now surviving Sanskrit Buddhism, this is Newar Buddhism.
Refugees in Tribal Global Village in Habiburahman and Mohsin Hamid
Authors: Karki Aruna
Published: March 2023

In Habiburahman’s historical novel First, They Erased Our Name: A Rohingya Speaks and Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West, a semi-historical novel with elements of magical realism, I argue that refugees’ dream of global village or cosmopolis is constantly frustrated or deferred in a tribally oriented roadblocks of borders due to the nation-state’s sovereignty and its routine use of the state of exception; yet, these refugees do not give up their hope of founding a global village of sorts through the political space. To rephrase my claim, in these novels, the nation-state’s sovereignty, which exclusively reserves the prerogative of the state of exception, biopolitically forces a certain section of its people into bare life, in Agamben’s sense, forcing the refugees to flee their homelands and suffer during and after their numerous border crossings, denuding the presence of tribalism within the global village. Yet, largely owing to the occasional reception of individual hospitality, these refugees are able to keep alive their hope of belonging to a community through seeking the political, a space where they can negotiate and renegotiate their rights. I argue that their persecution is due to Myanmar’s military government’s biopolitics in that it has reinscribed the nation on the basis of religion and Sino-Tibetan race (tribalism) and rendered stateless the Rohingya Muslim of Indo-Aryan race. Nearly the same could be said about Hamid’s protagonists, Nadia and Saeed, as they face a similarly tribalistic predicament in London, where the city is divided between the dark and light zones, occupied by migrants and nativists, again the state siding with the nativist. Despite facing state brutality or state’s abdication of its responsibility and the absence of right to have rights, these refugees keep alive the hope of global village, and they are able to persevere because they do occasionally receive hospitality from a few good Samaritans; therefore, there remains some glimmering hope of cosmopolis or global village in an excessively tribalistic world they are forced to live, and it is this hope provides them energy to fight for their rights.

Rehabilitation Programs in Prison: Helping the Self wounded to Heal
Authors: Poudel Prativa
Published: March 2023

Rehabilitation of prison inmates is a major discourse these days. The situation of rehabilitation services for the improvement of criminals in prison is a major issue among academics, counselors, educators, psychologists, security personnel, legal practitioners, medical doctors, and so on in recent times. Our society has some kind of preconception about ex-criminals, which is mostly negative and hostile, and the stigma and labeling attached to them can hardly be erased. And this is not only limited to ex-criminals but also their family members and even the next generation as well. This makes social adjustment difficult for the ex-criminals. On the other hand, after serving a fixed term in jail, ex-criminals carry the prison trauma that hunts them back again and again even after they try to lead their normal life in society. They reflect back on their criminal activities and the harsh treatment meted out to them in prison. This makes it difficult to adjust to mainstream society, and the chance of repeat offenses becomes high. Jails are not to be taken as a means of torturing the offenders; instead, they should be called penitentiaries where the prisoners are treated compassionately so they would not feel degenerated and get some chances to reform themselves. If rehabilitation programs conducted in prisons are the central part of truly reforming the inmates, they can live crime-free life after they are released from prison. These reformative programs will have to be aimed at changing the lives of inmates so that they can restart life with self-respect and confidence. This paper explores the present system of Central Jail (NAKHU JAIL), need and importance of rehabilitation programs, the challenges faced by them, and methods to enhance their effectiveness.
