Tuning in to a novel language is easier without orthography
Authors: Chladkova Katerina , Podlipský Václav Jonáš , Jarůšková Lucie , Simackova Sarka
Published: November 2024

Mastering prosody is a different task for adults learning a second language and infants acquiring their first. While prosody crucially aids the process of L1 acquisition, for adult L2 learners it is often considerably challenging. Is it because of an age-related decline of the language-learning ability or because of unfavourable learning conditions? We investigated whether adults can auditorily sensitise to the prosody of a novel language, and whether such sensitisation is affected by orthographic input. After 5 minutes of exposure to Māori, Czech listeners could reliably recognize this language in a post-test using low-pass filtered clips of Māori and Malay. Recognition accuracy was lower for participants exposed to the novel-language speech along with deep-orthography transcriptions or orthography with unfamiliar characters. Adults can thus attune to novel-language prosody, but orthography hampers this ability. Language-learning theories and applications may need to reconsider the consequences of providing orthographic input to beginning second-language learners.

Financial Behavior of Generation Z and Millennials
Authors: Pokharel Jhabindra , Maharjan Isha
Published: November 2024

Purpose – Managing finances and making the right financial decisions are challenging for everyone worldwide, and wrong decisions by individuals may lead the whole economic system in the wrong direction. This paper aims to investigate behavioral aspects of individuals regarding their financial decision-making. Also, it examines the moderating role of generations on behavioral aspects affecting financial decision-making,  taking into account Generation Z and Millennials.
Design/methodology/approach – Kathmandu valley, the capital city of Nepal, was selected as the study area for this research. Since this study aims to analyze the financial behavior of only two generations, individuals who fall under either of these generation groups and are actively involved in financial decision-making constitute the study population. The convenience sampling technique was used within each generation group to collect data. Four hundred and thirty-eight (438) usable data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical regression.
Findings and Conclusion – Supporting planned behavior theory and the generation cohort theory, the findings from this analysis demonstrated a significant positive effect of digital literacy, financial literacy, financial attitude, and risk tolerance on financial behavior. At the same time, the findings of this paper also stated that ethics has a significant impact on financial behavior, which supports the cognitive and emotional biases explained by behavioral theory. Furthermore, Generation Z and Millennials significantly differ in financial literacy, attitude, and ethics, shaping their financial behavior. However, this study could not find generation moderating the effect of risk tolerance and digital literacy on financial behavior.
Originality/Value - The findings of this paper contributed to the existing body of literature by validating behavioral finance and the theory of planned behavior, helping scholars gain more insights regarding the influence of financial constructs and ethics on financial behavior. Furthermore, the conclusions of this paper also validate the generation cohort theory, showing similar behavior in people of similar age or age groups. This study also explored behavioral differences between Generation Z and Millennials in Nepal, which was still to be explored.
Market Reaction to Dividend Announcement: Evidence from Nepalese Stock Market
Authors: Adhikari Kamal Prakash
Published: November 2024

Purpose – This paper aims to evaluate the impact of dividend announcements on stock price in the Nepalese stock market under the semi-strong form of market efficiency.
Design/methodology/approach – The market model of the event study method was followed to assess the impact of dividend announcements. This study was based on a quantitative research approach with secondary data which included the daily share price as the dependent variable and the NEPSE index as an independent variable. There were 20 commercial banks listed in NEPSE until the date of the study, and out of them only 17 banks were taken as samples because they have announced dividends regularly for 9 years from mid-July 2014 to mid-July 2023.
Findings and Conclusion – This research concluded that abnormal returns were positive in good news and negative abnormal returns in bad news about dividend announcement. These results were statistically significant on the event day. These outcomes also supported the dividend signaling hypothesis, and information content hypothesis in the semi-strong form of efficient market hypothesis (EMH). However, with no news of dividend announcement, it has negative impacts on stock returns which were statistically insignificant.
Implications – The implication of the results is that the Nepalese stock market is inefficient in the semi-strong form while considering good, bad, and no news of dividend announcements. This paper contributes to gaining more knowledge of market efficiency for Nepalese capital market investors, securities trading platform NEPSE, regulatory body SEBON, and researchers of the share market.

Authors: Bimali Inosha , Shrestha Preju Sama , Kandel Binay
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Shoulder pain is one of the common musculoskeletal conditions that substantially impact health related quality of life (HRQOL) and results in significant morbidity and disability. Understanding the interplay between pain, disability and HRQOL is crucial for clinicians to comprehend prognosis and evaluate treatment efficacy. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between shoulder pain, disability and HRQOL.
Method: Patients aged 18-60 years with chronic shoulder pain (>3 months) were recruited from the outpatient department of physiotherapy and orthopedics. Data was collected using the Nepali versions of Shoulder pain and disability Index (SPADI-NP) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics to summarize the data characteristics, and Pearson correlation analysis to assess relationships between shoulder pain, disability and HRQOL.
Results: Among the 96 participants, the mean SPADI-NP score was 72.12±16. The psychological domain (48.34±12.03) was most affected domain of HRQOL, followed by physical domain (50.34±13.48) in WHOQOL-BREF. Significant correlations were found between pain and disability (r=0.662, P<0.01), pain and HRQOL (r=-0.267, P<0.01), and disability and HRQOL (r=-0.493, P<0.01) respectively.
Conclusion: This study identified significant relationships between shoulder pain, disability and HRQOL, emphasizing an importance of implementation of biopsychosocial approach for comprehensive treatment and better patient outcomes in those with shoulder pain.

Published: November 2024

Background: Bipolar disorder is a chronic psychiatric condition associated with functional impairments, high morbidity, and an elevated suicide risk. The management of bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) heavily relies on psychotropic drug prescriptions. Analysing these prescribing patterns provides important insights into current treatment practices and helps optimize patient care.
Objective: To study the prescribing pattern of psychotropic drugs in patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the Mental Hospital, Lalitpur.
Method:  A cross-sectional observational study was conducted over one month, including both inpatients and outpatients. Data were collected from 116 patients through a structured form, analysing socio-demographic characteristics and prescribed medications. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the results.
Results: Among the 116 patients, Most were female (53.4%) and aged 21 to 40 years (61.2%). Bipolar affective disorder with current episode mania and psychotic symptoms (F31.2) was the most frequently diagnosed type. Antipsychotics were the most frequently prescribed drug class (41.44%), followed by anticonvulsants (21.92%) and mood stabilizers (16.21%). Among antipsychotics, olanzapine was the most commonly prescribed (54.34%), while sodium valproate dominated the anticonvulsant class (93.15%).
Conclusion: The study highlights the widespread use of antipsychotics and sodium valproate in managing bipolar disorder in resource-limited settings like Nepal. These findings underscore the importance of optimizing drug prescriptions and involving clinical pharmacists to enhance patient outcomes. Further research is needed to assess the long-term effects of these prescribing patterns.

Authors: Aryal Arjun , Tripathi Yashodham
Published: November 2024

This article discusses the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in qualitative research and how incorporating black-letter methodology can facilitate this. Black-letter methodology, a practice that has been employed in legal research for centuries, is seldom seen in general qualitative research, which often emphasizes social research methodologies. According to this paper, the systematic examination of legal texts to comprehend legal principles and their applications, as done in black-letter methodology, can bridge the gap between law and qualitative research and contribute to a deeper comprehension of the legal determinants of quality of life. The paper delineates the fundamental attributes of blackletter methodology, including its methodology, scientific justification, data analysis techniques, and concise history. It also examines the advantages and disadvantages of this methodology. Additionally, the paper investigates the potential applications of black-letter methodology in qualitative research. It underscores its implications for the study of the legal determinants of quality of life, the enhancement of policy development, the addressing of emerging challenges, and the strengthening of qualitative research education. The article concludes by asserting that the incorporation of black-letter methodology into qualitative research curricula and practices can result in qualitative research strategies that are more effective and equitable. It urges faculty members to promote the integration of this valuable methodology to enhance qualitative research practices in Nepal and beyond.
Integration of Information, Communication and Technology in Secondary Schools of Nepal: Policies and Practices
Authors: Ojha Lok Raj
Published: November 2024

The article explores the policies, provisions, and practices on the integration of ICT in the education system of Nepal. It was a quantitative survey study in which the policy provisions and practices were analyzed critically and empirically. The participants were selected using purposive and convenience sampling from the targeted population. An online questionnaire with 29 items was constructed as a tool for data collection and was distributed to secondary-level teachers, who were teaching at government public schools in Nepal via emails. The data was further analyzed statistically by calculating Percentage, Average, Chi-Square test (Goodness of fit), and P-value analysis using MS Excel. A value of p<0.05 was considered significant. It was found that integration of ICT in education is positioned as a major concerning phenomenon in educational policies and programs conducted by the Government of Nepal. Secondary schools in Nepal are still facing numerous deficiencies and challenges, among them the scarcity of technical knowledge and competency of teachers is a major one. Based on UNESCO’s four-stage continuum (emerging phase, applying phase, infusing phase, and transforming phase); public schools in Nepal are in the emerging phase as the development of ICT-related infrastructure, nevertheless, only a few numbers of schools have competent, dedicated, qualified, and trained human resources. Therefore, Governmental and nongovernmental organizations and policymakers have clear action plans to build infrastructures, teacher motivation, skill, competence, and positive attitudes of teachers, parents, and students.

Authors: Gupta Dipak Kumar , Paudel Deepak Raj , Sah Poonam Kumari , Sharma Prakash
Published: November 2024

Introduction:  Nutritional outcomes in children under five are influenced by household environmental and water sanitation practices. This study aimed to assess the relationship between these practices and nutritional outcomes (HAZ, WAZ, and WHZ) in Lakshminiya Rural Municipality, Nepal.
Materials and Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2021. The study included 308 children aged 6 to 59 months, selected using multistage random sampling. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with mothers or primary caregiver and anthropometric measurements. Household sanitation indicators, such as improved sanitation, toilet conditions, waste disposal, and drinking water storage, were assessed. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25, employing bivariate and multiple regression analyses to examine associations between household practices and nutritional outcomes.
Results: The study found that improved household sanitation was positively associated with HAZ and WAZ. Improved toilet presence was also significantly correlated with WAZ and HAZ, while the association with WHZ was not significant. Cleanliness around toilets showed no significant associations with any of the nutritional indicators. Waste disposal practices, such as composting or burning, had an inverse relationship with WAZ. Covered drinking water storage was positively associated with WAZ but had no significant effect on HAZ or WHZ.
Conclusions: Improved sanitation and covered drinking water storage are positively associated with better nutritional outcomes, particularly in HAZ and WAZ. These findings suggest the need for policies that promote improved sanitation and water storage practices to enhance child nutrition in rural Nepal.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Inguinal hernioplasty is one of the most commonly performed operations worldwide. Local anaesthesia can be a preferred method in day-care surgeries as alternative to spinal anaesthesia for hernia repair, especially with regards to operative conditions, postoperative pain relief and complications as well as the less economic burden This study aims to determine the advantage of local anesthesia as compared to the spinal anesthesia.
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective follow up study consisting of hundred and ten patients conducted after the ethical committee clearance. The patients posted for tension free lichtenstein elective hernioplasty were allocated to either of two groups, group A (n=55) were given local anaesthesia and patients in group B (n=55) were given spinal anaesthesia. The operative and postoperative pain score using visual analogue scale, duration of surgery and any other complications were recorded.
Results: Time taken in local anesthesia was similar with spinal anaesthesia. Intraoperative pain was higher in local anesthesia than spinal anaesthesia. Post operatively pain was less in the local anesthesia than in spinal anaesthesia. Post operative complications were more in spinal anesthesia group such as urinary retention, headache, etc.
Conclusions: Local anesthesia can be another good choice for inguinal hernia repair owing to its advantages and less complications. It can be reliably concluded that local anaesthesia can be a preferred method in day-care surgeries owing to its advantages of ease of administration, less complications and low economic burden.
Fatty Acid Alpha-oxidation and its Clinical Correlation
Authors: Prakash Satyam
Published: November 2024

The human diet includes branched chain fatty acid phytanic acid (3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecanoic acid) and the degradation  of 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA, the initial step in the oxidation of phytanic acid was investigated.  But, the long-standing controversy about the mechanism and subcellular location of phytanic acid alpha-oxidation has been debated and remain incompletely understood. Phytanic acid is known to undergo one cycle of alpha-oxidation initially due to its methyl group at the beta-position. The metabolic pathway known as Alpha oxidation of fatty acid is important for the production of energy, the elimination of toxic metabolites, the metabolism of lipids, the regulation of fatty acid levels, and developmental processes. The resulting pristanic acid can undergo further oxidation through a peroxisomal process called beta oxidation. Throughout the years, even more diseases including the accumulation of phytanic acid along with other metabolites were documented. Numerous hereditary disorders that affect mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation, peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation, or mitochondrial fatty acid alpha-oxidation have been found in humans. Defective alpha-oxidation in peroxisome biogenesis disorders causes phytanic acid levels to accumulate, resulting in Refsum disease, a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Only a few, unfavorable alternatives to treatment are available. The prognosis for Refsum disease is still not promising. Consequently, this brief review is to summarize the biochemistry of alpha fatty acid oxidation, the effects of the biochemical defect and its associated disease, and the clinical hallmarks of Refsum disease, which have been associated to the degradation of exogenous 3-methyl-branched fatty acid.

Authors: Raghavan Vijay , Mahadevan Lakshman
Published: November 2024

The application of innovative technologies introduces technical uncertainty affecting project outcomes. Guided by control theory, this study examines the mediating role of technical uncertainty between the four project control modes and their influence on two project outcomes. We find that outcome and clan control modes provide both internal efficiency as well as adequate psychological outcomes in uncertain innovative development environments while behavior and self-control have no effect on the project outcomes. Therefore, appropriate control modes such as outcome and clan control modes should be given priority in managing technically uncertain projects.

Published: November 2024

The geographical features of the modern Mykolaiv region with a grid have contributed to the development of rowing since ancient times and it is connected with the history of the region and the historical and cultural ties of its inhabitants with other peoples of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. In 1874, a boat race among sailors took place in Mykolaiv. With the foundation of the yacht club in 1887, rowing developed rapidly. Since the 20th century, thanks to the participation of the city's high school students and the organization of competitions by the yacht club, rowing has spread among the city's youth. After the First World War and during the Soviet rule, rowing became part of proletarian culture. In 1936, a shipyard for the construction of sports rowing vessels existed in Mykolaiv. Until 1941, rowing was characterized by: 1) 1920–1921 – concentration of rowing clubs in the Vsevobuchu system; 2) 1921–1925 – their transfer to trade union organizations; 3) 1925 – creation of own rowing stations by departmental sports societies; 4) since 1927 – participation of Mykolaiv sportsmen- rowers in All-Ukrainian and All-Union competitions. During the Second World War, significant damage was done to the rowing bases. 1950–1980 are characterized by the rapid growth of rowing sports in the Mykolaiv region. Due to the peculiarity of the channel with rapids on the South Buga, slalom rowing has spread in the region. Mykolaiv Oblast is noted for rowing athletes who became champions and medalists at the Olympic Games, the World and European Championships. During the ongoing war with the Russian aggressor, sports master Mykola Gutsalenko died defending Ukraine. Thanks to the Mykolaiv Oblast Rowing Federation, rowing enthusiasts - athletes and coaches-pedagogues, the traditions of this sport continue.

The relevance of the study is determined by the place and functions that the political- administrative elite fulfill in ensuring the sustainability and security of society. The radical turn outlined in public discourse, which defines the criteria for integrating new members into the political- administrative elite, requires scientific reflection and understanding of the rea-sons and factors that determine it. The article presents the findings of a study on the pivotal factors that shaped the evolution of the political and administrative elite in Russia at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The transformation of the Russian political- administrative elite was found to have been influenced by a number of factors: the historical factor, which characterizes the traditions of recruiting political- administrative elites in the Russian political system; the socio- political factor, which reflects the trends of transformation of the system of public administration at the turn of the twentieth and twenty- first centuries; the political factor proper, which characterizes the state and the characteristics of the political and party systems of Russia; the socio- economic factor reflecting the orientation of business towards integration into the political and administrative elite; and the socio- cultural factor reflect-ing the value dynamics of the Russian society. It has been demonstrated that the dynamics of change within Russia’s political- administrative elite are a response to a number of global challenges, including the digitalization of society and public policy, the global economic crisis and the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, these changes have been influenced by foreign and domestic policy challenges.
POTENTIAL FOR MEASURING THE INFORMATION FIELD OF REGIONAL POLICY IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA ON THE INTERNET

Published: November 2024

The contemporary digitalization of politics carries an inherent risk of aggravating the influence of marginalized and extremist groups in the online domain, which disseminate destructive ideologies. In the southern regions of the Russian Federation, this issue assumes particular significance in light of the proximity of these territories to areas characterized by interethnic and interstate tensions. It is therefore necessary for regional political elites to consolidate their position in order to create and disseminate meaningful narratives that portray current events and processes in a positive light at the macro- regional level. The objective of this article is to examine the structure and thematic content of the online activities of regional leaders in southern Russia. In order to achieve this, the author clarifies the concept of the in-formation field of politics as a domain in which political actors construct a news agenda with the assistance of online resources and explain reality through a shared repertoire of images, cognitive schemas and narratives. Subsequently, the RStudio computer application, which is based on the R programming language, was used to web-scrape 11,000 recent posts from the official pages of regional leaders of Southern Russia in the “VKontakte” social network. Natural language processing methods, specifically text mining, were then applied to these posts. These methods included latent semantic analysis (LSA), sentiment analysis, content analysis with the author’s dictionary, and word match analysis. As a result, it can be observed that the online activity of regional leaders in southern Russia is currently characterized by a notable degree of consistency. This suggests the existence of a stable information field, with the semantic core centered on themes of assistance to newly- established constituent entities of the Russian Federation, family support and the advancement of local urban environments.
