Introducción: La contaminación ambiental ocasionada por agentes químicos, constituye un sistema complejo que debe ser analizado desde la interdisciplina. El uso de plaguicidas ha puesto en riesgo la seguridad alimentaria de la población, y con ello la salud sobre todo de quienes están  directamente expuestos. A nivel mundial se registra 6400 ingredientes activos, que combinados dan más de 100000 productos químicos comerciales. Solo en Latinoamérica la demanda por el uso de plaguicidas es del 80%. El uso de estos agentes químicos tiene su auge a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.
Objetivo: Exponer los aspectos de la contaminación por agentes químicos, y sus efectos en la seguridad alimentaria, a través de la interdisciplina, con el fin de sintetizar un conocimiento, que permita comprender un problema que requiere respuestas urgentes.
Material y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda automatizada en bases de datos en línea.  Se ordenó por relevancia y tiempo, para posteriormente condensar y analizar la información de las fuentes.
Resultados: Se revisaron 58 artículos científicos, el 56.4% estudia la contaminación por agentes químicos empleados desde diferentes disciplinas, el 45% de artículos relaciona contaminantes químicos con seguridad alimentaria, siendo importante un enfoque interdisciplinar para un manejo eficaz en seguridad alimentaria.
Conclusión: Existe la necesidad urgente de trabajar con un verdadero enfoque interdisciplinario que permita tomar decisiones oportunas para lograr una concientización desde nosotros a través del conocimiento, y empoderamiento de un problema que está latente. En este sentido, atender la contaminación por agentes químicos y sus efectos en la seguridad alimentaria y por ende en la salud de la población, resulta trascendental.
Cisteína generadora de glutation y su efecto antioxidante en pacientes con nutrición parenteral
Authors: Aldás Garcés Stephany María , Barrera Morales Jennifer Paola , Guevara Arroba Erika Michelle
Published: January 2023

Introducción.La cisteína es un aminoácido azufrado, su puente disulfuro es esencial para la oxidación en el hábito alimentario y debe estar presente la ingesta de aminoácidos para mantener un sistema antioxidante equilibrado. La cisteína es la precursora del glutatión considerado un compuesto de defensa en condiciones de estrés oxidativo, en donde el paciente atraviesa por una alteración de su organismo derivado de enfermedades o accidentes, con un aumento de radicales libres de oxígeno, que en función de las circunstancias puede llegar a superar al número de antioxidantes presentes en el cuerpo, originando así el estrés oxidativo. El GSH (glutatión), actúa como antioxidante manteniendo el balance redox celular y protegiendo al organismo de los posibles efectos adversos derivados del estrés oxidativo. Cuando un paciente atraviesa una situación de enfermedad y requiere nutrición por vía parenteral para complementar sus necesidades nutricionales, por lo general se registra una concentración baja de glutatión lo que es un indicativo de una patología, debido a la enfermedad misma y no por una relación directa con la nutrición vía intravenosa, que de hecho se prescribe para corregir estos niveles bajos de antioxidantes derivados de una nutrición deficiente

Authors: Khatiwada Aasara , Chaudhary Asmita , Limbu Dhiren Subba , Maharjan Bijaya Laxmi
Published: January 2023

Dharan has been facing drinking water-related problems for a very long time now and this research was conducted in order to determine whether the quality of water being distributed throughout the city was one of them. Hence, 31 samples were taken from the drinking water distribution system of Dharan in the spring of 2022 for evaluating the physicochemical and microbiological quality of drinking water being distributed across the sub-metropolitan city. Though public knowledge and adequate management of watershed and reservoir premises were insufficient, the physicochemical characteristics were determined to be within the National Drinking Water Quality Standards (NDWQS) for drinking water with temperatures ranging from 23.6 °C to 25.6 °C, pH 7.7 to 8.5, conductivity 38.2 to 38.7 µS/cm, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) 7.7 to 9.0 mg/L, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) 0.8 to 1.8 mg/L, chloride 29.82 to 34.08 mg/L, nitrite 10 mg/L and ammonia <0.5 mg/L. However, the coliform bacteria levels were significant, with the highest TCC (Total Coliform Count) being 137 CFU/100mL, the highest FCC (Fecal Coliform Count) being 85 CFU/100mL and the highest TPC (Total Plate Count) being TMTC (Too Many To Count). The water was found to be unsafe to drink without disinfection treatments. It may be necessary to carry out treatment procedures like chlorination as advised by WHO (World Health Organization) as soon as possible while also taking into account the proper application of filtration techniques for distributing safe drinking water to the residents of Dharan.

Authors: Rai Vatsala , Acharya Dev Raj
Published: January 2023

Flaxseed incorporated biscuit is a baked, unleavened cake that uses flaxseed flour as the main component. The development of germinated flaxseed incorporated biscuit and the study of its storage stability were the main objectives of this study. Flaxseed was germinated up to 7 days at room temperature. Germination longer than 7 days resulted in significant mold growth. For this study, flaxseed flour was made from the 7- day germinated flaxseed. Five formulations were tasted in a laboratory setting using 0, 12.5, 25, 37.5, and 50 parts germinated flaxseed flour to wheat flour. Design Expert v13 software was utilized to formulate the recipe using D-optimal design. One way ANOVA without blocking was carried out at a 5% level of significance to measure consumer acceptability. According to mean sensory scores, a formulation containing 25 parts flaxseed flour was chosen for further analysis. Acid, peroxide, and moisture values were used to determine the shelf-life of the formulated biscuits. At the end of two months, the values obtained —0.21 mg KOH/g oil, 1.8 MeqO2/kg fat, and 4.88% were within the safer limits. Overall, flaxseed flour incorporation of 25 parts of flaxseed flour was successfully incorporated into the biscuit recipe. Calcium, iron, protein, ash, fiber, and fat were higher in the optimized product than the control.
An Aesthetic Exploration and its Embodied Imagination in The Parrot in the Cage
Authors: Babu Ram Khanal
Published: January 2023

This research tries to analyse and interpret the poem The Parrot in the Cage on three different levels. First, it attempts to explore the artistic beauty of the cage where a parrot, a creation of nature, is moving to and fro prattling human language, pausing each time. Second, it attempts to embody the satire on human life that every human being is in chain provided that they are born free. The universe has been delineated as a cage where everyone is in trap. Finally, the cage is sketched as an emblem of confinement, a punishment where people are given the status of others during the tyrannical rule of Ranas. It discloses the injustice, ill attitude and superiority feeling of rulers. The wretchedness and melancholic state of majority of poor people, deprived of education, unemployment and self-respect has been skilfully presented in the text. In addition, the hostile environment created by bourgeoisie Ranas where people were doomed to live like parrot in the cage almost paralyzed has been another focus of the poem which the research endeavours to locate.
A Comparative Reading of John Keats’s Isabella and Lamia
Authors: Kul Bahadur Khadka
Published: January 2023

Keats’s Isabella and Lamia are narrative poems. They describe passionate love stories. In the former, two brothers with mercenary motive murder Lorenzo, the lover of their sister. Isabella, the sister, hides the cut-off head of the lover in a basil-pot. She loves the head. The cruel brothers steal the basil-pot with the head. Isabella pines and dies. The brothers are banished from Florence. In the latter, Lamia, a serpent-woman, seduces Lycius, a youth of Corinth. Apollonius, a sage or Lycius’s instructor, detects her identity and denounces her in their marriage feast. She vanishes. On the spur of moment, Lycius dies. This research article makes a comparative reading of Isabella and Lamia in terms of their sources, motifs, themes and characters. It has been structured into three parts- Introduction, Thematic patterns and Conclusion. John Keats’s respective poems and various books with critics’ opinions about Keats and his Isabella and Lamia have been consulted in course of preparing this research. The article concludes that Keats creates pleasure and horror in both poems mentioned above in order to balance two worlds- the real and the ideal.
Performing Resistance: Imagining Nation in Sama’s Play Amar Singha
Authors: Shobhakant Regmi
Published: January 2023

Framing the concept of performance as a mode of resistance in aesthetic production is itself a rigorous act, nevertheless this article aims to unleash how these modes of resistance are articulated through the characters in the historical play, Amarsingh (1991) by Balakrishna Sama. The performance of the characters, as such; Amar, Girvana, Balabhadra, Ranajor Singh and the soldiers involved in the Anglo- Nepal war on border disputes during the19th century shed the light on Nationalist mode of resistance against their enemies (firangees). Mostly, the spontaneous counteracts as they pose from side to side against the frontier enemies are akin to imagine a ‘consolidated nationalism’ as a whole. In this context, Sama’s play Amarsingh lays the foundation to imagine nation as a whole through the mode of ‘writing back’ as performing the resistance.

The Story of Dhon Cholecha: A Structural Analysis
Authors: Narendra Raj Subedi
Published: January 2023

Folktales are part of folk literature, which is more widely referred to as folklore. Every community has its own folklore and it has been widely practiced since the time immemorium. It is the oral art of the common people representing the contributions of many anonymous creators. Folktales are regarded as the simplest form of narratives these tales have their own structures. Tales of these types from various cultures have also been analyzed in terms of their structures. In the present study Vladimir Propp can be considered for the structural analysis of a Nepali tale. After the publication of his book Morphology of the folktale the folklorists got a new approach to reveal the tales from its structures. So, this research article tries to explore the structures of a Nepali folktale using a tale to explore its own structures. To make a whole it advocates an investigation of the relationship between forms and suggests a structural analysis. In this context a tale from Tales of Kathmandu "The story of Dhon Cholecha" has been analyzed to meet the aforementioned objective. Since this tale has its narrative structure where we find two different moves and can be diagnosed as the first move and the second move and they run in a quite contrastive way, so from this type of contradiction the tale can be analyzed in terms of contrastive structure analysis from the narrative of "Dhon Cholecha" which contributes for the ‘social purpose’ of story telling as well.

Cultural Assimilation Creating Third Culture in Sumnima
Authors: Rajendra Prasad Chapagaee
Published: January 2023

Sumnima, a psychological love story between Aryan boy and Kirati girl raises some cultural and philosophical issues of cultural reality of Nepal. Cultural values in Nepal are conflicting but there is a unique understanding and co-ordination between the differing cultural and religious philosophies. Sumnima stands for Kirat's cultural philosophy and Somadattafor Aryan philosophy. Sumnima thinks body to be more important than soul. She believes on materialism, living life and real world. She wants to live with nature discarding all sorts of artificialities and formalities. She does not believe in the life after death. Sumnima is a symbol of materialism whereas Somadatta is of spiritualism. A blind follower of Aryan dogmatic principles, he is guided by Aryan religious, spiritual and cultural philosophy. He believes on eternity and immortality of soul. In course of time, he realizes the importance of Sumnima's culture, her philosophy of life and world. He is serious about his spiritual goals but succumbs to the charms of materialistic world. His son, an Aryan boy, marries Sumnima's daughter, a Kirati girl. Marriage between a boy and a girl of two opposite cultures signifies cultural assimilation and harmonization along with the unity in diversity. It connotes cultural liberalization and reformation in the ancient cultures of Nepal. Abstract ideas of Aryan culture and factual ideas of Kirat culture are integrated to create a new culture that brings the philosophy of materialism and spiritualism, or body and soul together. Cultural liberalism defeats the cultural and religious orthodoxy.

Authors: Maharjan Sajana , Bahadur Thapa Rajesh
Published: January 2023

There is a demand for methods to accurately estimate above ground carbon stock in response to climate change mitigation action. The study aims to develop a method to accurately estimate and map above ground woody carbon stocks using airborne LIDAR data (0.8 point/m2) and optical images (0.45m resolution) acquired over the mountains in Central Nepal. Canopy Height Model (CHM) was generated using LIDAR first return and last return. RMSE of 2.8m was obtained for LIDAR derived height. Object based image analysis (OBIA) and nearest neighbor classification methods were used to retrieve individual tree crown area and tree species (Shorearobusta and others) information. Segmentation accuracy was 76.2% based on 1:1 correspondence and the overall classification accuracy was 75.86%. Multiple linear regression models which showed the lowest relative RMSE36.8% (Shorearobusta) and 32.4% (others) were used to estimate carbon stocks of the study area. The total amount of carbon stocks in the study area was approximately 89.45 MgCha-1.
Realization of Geocentric Datum for Nepal: Ingredients, Recipe and the Cooking
Authors: Thapa Mahesh , Banjara Bigyan
Published: January 2023

The existing classical geodetic datum of Nepal called as Nepal Datum was developed and realized almost 40 years ago through the concerted surveying involving astronomic measurements by Czechoslovakian team along with Doppler observations and Trigonometric Surveying by British team. Since the realization of this geodetic datum by establishment of First Order Control Network at 68 locations, secular and co-seismic crustal movements has potentially disturbed the integrity of the network. Any survey activities based on use of existing datum without proper understanding and discretion can potentially compromise the outputs of surveying. On another hand, the classical datum is not directly compatible with the current surveying trends based on GNSS technologies. In order to ensure access to precise and GNSS compatible datum, there is an urgent need to develop geocentric datum. . In this article, we examine and recommend ways to realize geocentric datum by maximal utilization of already existent and necessary components for a functional geocentric datum. This paper is divided into three sections: Ingredients, Recipe and the Cooking. The ingredients section discusses the infrastructure for geocentric datum, the recipe section discusses the procedures to defining geocentric datum and the Cooking section discusses on the part of capacity development.

In addition to looking at the two-way relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth, this research also examines the analysis of the effect of Foreign Direct Investment on Indonesia's Economic Growth in the short and long term which is tested using the Error Correction Model (ECM).Based on the results of the ECM analysis, it was concluded that there is a long-term and short-term relationship between FDI and GDP in Indonesia. However, after conducting a causality analysis using the Granger Causality Test up to the fifth lag, it is concluded that there is no two-way relationship between Indonesia's FDI and GDP, but only a one-way relationship, namely Indonesia GDP to FDI.

The problems of promoting each of them in the global world are related to the need for free agricultural potential, the availability of effective and unified legal regulation, first of all, of breeding achievements in animal husbandry regarding the intellectual property rights of breeders, its protection both during life and for heirs, since a patent for an animal breed is an indisputable right of the inventor, which acts as a kind of legal monopoly, the provision of which is guaranteed by the state, and patent protection negates commercial use in the absence of the consent of its owner. The purpose of the study is to analyse certain issues of legal regulation of intellectual property rights to breeding achievements in animal husbandry in Ukraine and proposals for its improvement through the implementation of the global experience. The research methods were chosen considering the goals and objectives. During the research, philosophical (hermeneutical), general scientific (logical, generalisation, praxeological, modelling, predictive, and bibliographic), and special legal (formal-legal, comparative-legal) methods of scientific knowledge were used. The study examines the current state of breeding achievements in animal husbandry and the legal basis for regulating its establishment, protection, and the possibility of inclusion in the breeder's inherited property. Problematic issues in the legal framework for the establishment and implementation of intellectual property rights to breeding achievements in animal husbandry, ways to eliminate relevant conflicts are proposed. The study analyses the international experience in processing law enforcement documents for breeders and the possibility of protecting their rights. The research materials can be useful for lawyers-researchers, business entities engaged in breeding in animal husbandry, teachers, postgraduates, students of law schools, civil servants, and all those who are not indifferent to the issues under study.
