Published: August 2022

Objective: To compare the therapeutic efficacy after suburethral adjustable sling (Remeex system) for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) between pure intrinsic s phincter deficiency (ISD) and ISD with overactive bladder (OAB) group. Methods: The study subjects were 86 female patients with ISD who underwent Remeex system to treat female SUI and who were available for 12 months follow-up. We retrospectively studied both patients who underwent Remeex system due to pure ISD (group I) and those who underwent Remeex system due to ISD with OAB (group II). Improvement in objective and subjective symptoms were retrospectively evaluated using a 1hr pad weight test, global response assessment (GRA) and overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS). Results: Group I included 43 patients and group II included 43 patients of mean ages 56.8 ± 7.5 and 57.4 ± 6.6 years, respectively. Use of 1 hr pad weight test showed that incontinence decreased after the procedures in both groups, and that of group I patients was significantly lower than that of group II patients. The mean GRA score was significant a higher score in group I. The OABSS of patients in group II were 8.2 ± 1.1 and 7.2 ± 1.1, respectively, before and at 12 months after operation, did differ significantly. The mean change of OABSS of group II patients was significantly more decreased than that of group I patients. Conclusions: The Remeex system showed a greater patient satisfaction and a higher cure rate in pure ISD than ISD with OAB in female patients with urinary incontinence.
Infertility and the Endometrium
Authors: Salamonsen Lois A. , Dimitriadis Evdokia
Published: August 2022

Background: A couple’s infertility can originate from the male and/or the female. In women, the uterus provides the site where the maternal-fetal interface is established and maintained. Final blastocyst development occurs within the uterine cavity, then the blastocyst must attach to and implant into the endometrium (the inner uterine surface), via its outermost trophectodermal cells. Beneath the epithelium, these differentiate into syncytial trophoblast and invasive trophoblast — the latter progress through the endometrium to invade the spiral arteries converting them to the flaccid blood sacs of the placenta. Therefore, the endometrium plays a critical role in establishment of pregnancy. Objectives: To critically examine current knowledge of endometrial preparation for blastocyst implantation and placental development at the cellular and molecular level and to evaluate measures to improve implantation success. Mechanism: Literature searching by leading experts in the field. Findings: A wealth of new knowledge resulting from ‘omics’ technologies and new functional models has greatly enhanced our knowledge, but this information is yet to be translated into enhanced outcomes. Conclusions: The endometrium remains the ‘black box’ of infertility. Extensive trials do not support current adjuvant therapies as being better than placebo while effectively timed testing for endometrial preparedness for implantation is still urgently needed.

Differential expression of JAM2 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines sporadic ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of JAM2, encoding junctional adhesion molecule 2, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (SALS). JAM2 transcript was present at significantly lower levels in SALS patient fibroblasts as compared to control, non-diseased fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.

The Nature of the Mechanism of Asymptomatic Malaria Infection
Authors: Ola Paul
Published: August 2022

Cases of malaria, one of the most ancient among human killers, remain unacceptably high and episodes of resurgence are still being reported. While it has been logically deduced that eliminating the malaria parasite is vital for the protection obtained by means of infection and vaccination, upon employing the superior Einsteinian method which illustrates the context in which phenomena occur and deduces only the consequences of the results obtained which must agree perfectly with the data of experience and their mutual relations if such results represent the knowledge which must guide our researchers in the search for solutions, it was found that such protection is brought about by asymptomatic hosting of the parasite. The complete understanding of such conditions that permit immunological mechanisms to bring about tolerance, not only to malaria parasites but also to other pathogens, from those that cause ancient tuberculosis, through those that cause old HIV/AIDS to those that cause COVID-19 and monkeypox, therefore ought to be our topmost priority now.

Basic Psychological Needs, Quality of Motivation, and Protective Behavior Intentions: A Nationally Representative Survey
Authors: Pietilä Meri , Saurio Kaisa Johanna , Martela Frank , Silfver Mia , Hankonen Nelli
Published: August 2022

This is a pre-print of a study published at Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine https://doi.org/10.1080/21642850.2023.2257295. Objective: Citizens’ volitional engagement in protective behaviors is essential for successful pandemic management, as much of the required adherence is beyond authorities’ control and difficult to monitor. Building on the Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study examines how basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS) related to COVID-19 behavioral measures is associated with the quality of motivation (autonomous vs. controlled), and whether this quality of motivation is predictive of the intention to wear a face mask and to avoid meeting others. Methods: Cross-sectional survey study involving a nationally representative sample (N = 2272) was conducted in Finland in May 2021, when protective behaviors were recommended to prevent acceleration of the epidemic. Mann-Whitney U tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests, linear regression analysis, and multinomial logistic regression were conducted. Results: All three psychological needs were positively related to autonomous motivation (all p<.001). Satisfaction of autonomy (β = .234) and relatedness (β = .402) had larger effects than competence (β = .091). Autonomous motivation (range Exp(B) = 1.82‒3.55, p = .001) was consistently related to intention to wear a mask and intention to avoid meeting people. Controlled motivation (range Exp(B) = .66‒.93, p = .001‒.457) was associated with decreased protective behavior intentions. The effects of amotivation (range Exp(B) = .65‒1.02, p = .001‒.911) varied across analyses. Conclusions: Fostering autonomous motivation could increase adherence to protective behaviors in situations without clear mandates. The results also suggest that increasing perceptions of pressure or appealing to personal risk and fear may not advance adherence as effectively.
The Contingent Animal: Does artificial innateness misrepresent behavioral development?
Authors: Kohn Gregory Mark , Kostecki Mateusz
Published: August 2022

While organisms are continually experiencing and interacting with their environments, the role and extent of experiences in behavioral development has been controversial. Some argue that adaptive behaviors are acquired through experiences, while others claim they are the result of innate programs that don’t require environmental input. Such controversies have historically occurred within animal behavior and psychology, but similar debates are emerging in the field of artificial intelligence. Here the debate is centered on those who design experience-dependent systems that are trained to learn the statistical properties of ‘environmental’ inputs, and those advocating the use of pre-packaged artificially ‘innate’ responses tailored to prespecified inputs. Those favoring artificial innateness draw analogies with animal behavior to argue that innateness is necessary for the emergence of complex adaptive behavior. But does behavioral development in animals reflect the unfolding of innate programs? Here we highlight the widespread role of specifically causal experiences in the ontogeny of species-typical behaviors. All behaviors are an outcome of a chain of organism-environment transactions – called ontogenetic niches— that begin in the earliest periods of life. This challenges the notion that organisms come prepared with innate programs for behavior. We suggest that an artificial intelligence that matches the complexity of animal behavior should be based on principles of behavioral development, where experiences are necessary and specifically causal factors in the emergence of behavioral abilities.
"Imagine an Ignorance the Fights Back": Honoring Charles Mills, Our Inheritance and Charge
Authors: Mueller Jennifer C.
Published: August 2022

Critical race scholars lost a true comrade with the passing of renowned philosopher, Charles Wade Mills, on September 20, 2021. Along with his larger corpus, Mills’ landmark text, The Racial Contract, remains a beacon to scholar-activists across many disciplines, sociology included. Here, I reflect personally and sociologically on our inheritance from Mills’ incredible legacy. Beyond core concepts that will (and should) live on in sociologists’ work, Mills’ life and practice impart invaluable lessons. These include attuning to one’s embodiment and pleasure, using mainstream tools for radical ends, and recognizing the need for transdisciplinarity in ongoing resistance to white supremacy.
Occupational skills and subjective social status
Authors: Andersson Anton B , Lindh Arvid
Published: August 2022

There has recently been an upswing in research on the sources of social status inequality in capitalist democracies. In sociology it has long been argued that the occupational structure is a central hub of status inequality, yet there is a shortage of multivariate studies on the significance of occupations for the social status of individuals. The main purpose of this chapter is to examine the relationship between occupational skills and subjective social status in advanced knowledge economies. We study individuals’ subjective social status across 25 countries, using multilevel modelling and data from the European Social Survey. Results show that (i) a substantial share of the variation in subjective social status is between occupations within countries; (ii) the occupational gradient in status is tightly positively linked to the level of educational requirements in jobs; and (iii) individuals in non-manual work have additional status benefits as compared to those in manual work.
From Surrender to Protest Against Patriarchy in Pandey’s Jiyara
Authors: Bista Asmita
Published: August 2022

The anthology of stories Jiyara by Nayan Raj Pandey unveils the violence against women in Madhes. The anthology explores the plights of Madhesi women who are victimized by patriarchal agents, but the stories also depict the women who courageously fight against the impostors. So, the article investigates the problems faced by the Madhesi women in the society that is driven by patriarchy, in the stories “Jiyara” and “Laila O Laila”. It navigates the causes of the oppression, abuse, and violence against women in Madhesi community. The article analyzes the ways that are deployed by the Madhesi women to react against the patriarchy. To address these objectives, feminist theory, mainly theory of radical feminist Kate Millet has been used. Kate Millet brings up the idea that men create and maintain patriarchy because they own resources. Likewise, patriarchy helps them to enslave women. So, in order to fight for sexist exploitation and oppression, women need to reject the subordinated position set for them by patriarchal society. The significance of this study is to contribute to a different perspective for the reader to see the anthology Jiyara because in this text, Pandey highlights the problems faced by Madhesi women due to the socio-cultural practices that endorse males’ domination. The paper concludes that in “Jiyara”, major female characters get victimized by patriarchal social system, whereas the female characters of “Laila O Laila” stand starkly against the violence and suppression done to them by their male counterparts, when it transcends their tolerance.
Creating the Discourse of Marginalized Limbu Community: A Foucauldian Analysis of Manglak’s Limbuni Gaaun [The Village of Limbu Woman]
Authors: Rai Jiwan Kumar
Published: August 2022

This paper attempts to analyze the poems “Limbuni Gaaun” (“The Village of Limbu Women”), “Aadaangme” (“My Honor”), “Limbuni Maayaa” (“Limbu Woman’s Love”), and “Diplomyaat Devataa” (“Diplomat God”) which are selected from Raj Manglak’s Limbuni Gaaun [The Village of Limbu Woman], the collection of Nepali poems. The poet portrays the day-to-day life experiences and cultures of the marginalized Limbu people who live in the eastern region of Nepal, particularly in hilly districts of Taplejung and Panchthar. This paper aims to explore the same Limbu people’s world and cultures. This study discusses the articulation of the lifestyles, socio-cultural rituals, values, and traditions of the ethnic Limbu community that form a discourse of the marginality to claim the identity and defines the body of knowledge, e.i. the knowledge about the world and culture of Limbu community. Michel Foucault’s concept of discourse has been used as theoretical tool to interpret the selected poems, and achieve the set objectives of this study. Foucault argues that discourse is a systematic way of expression that produces and defines a body of knowledge. From this theoretical stand, the selected poems have been analysed as the discourse of the marginalized Limbu people and culture that exposes and expresses the outshined world of the same community and the distinctive body of knowledge. This study gives insights to understand the marginalized world and cultures of the Limbu community in Nepal.
Exploring the Subject of Hindu Widowhood in Koirala and Shah’s Short Stories
Authors: Budhathoki Mahendra Kumar
Published: August 2022

Nepali Hindu widows have been discriminated in social, cultural and religious activities that have affected the psyche of the widows. People debilitate widows and consider them vulnerable and insecure. The research paper has explored the portrayal of Nepali Hindu widows’ conditions in B. P. Koirala’s “To the Lowlands” and Prem Shah’s “A Husband” from the viewpoint of new criticism. The conflicts, tensions, symbols and meanings of the lives of the Hindu widows portrayed in the selected texts are analysed from a new critic’s perspective. The study has exploited exploratory qualitative method. Koirala has portrayed a Hindu widow who left the house because of abuses by her brother-in-law and tortured by in-laws. She moved to the plain (tarai) with four men including Gore for happy life. But Gore stole the widow’s gold and money despite her marriage proposal. Shah portrayed a widow Nirmala who was teased and abused by a driver and her sister’s probable husband. She wants to make up her face, but she was frightened with her elder brother, sister and mother because of restrictions imposed upon Hindu widows. Koirala and Shah have depicted miserable widowhood in the Nepali Hindu society. Although sati tradition has been abolished and remarriage of widows are encouraged in the present time, widows are psychologically shattered because of Hindu socio-cultural viewpoints on them, and Hindu widows still sacrifice their lives through psychological sati in Nepali society. The analysis of widowhood in the stories contributes to understanding the condition of widows in Hindu society.
Stylistic Deviation in Devkota's “The Lunatic”
Authors: Tumbahang Mohan Kumar
Published: August 2022

This article explores the linguistic deviations especially on two levels: semantic and syntactic levels. Out of few Devkota's intricate poetic compositions, "The Lunatic" is considered to be the daunting poems to the average readers, students, and even teachers. Not only its English version "The Lunatic", but its Nepali version "Paagala" also can pose an equal degree of toughness to the Nepali readers.  The article seeks the answers to the questions as: what sorts of semantic and syntactic deviations are there in the poem "The Lunatic"? How do these deviations occur in the poem, and why have these deviations been used there?  The article focuses on the main words which have distorted the meaning system in terms of the ordinary norms of grammar. Similarly, it also points out the syntactic patterns which have overtly flouted the grammatical norms. Furthermore, it aims to discuss the motives behind the deliberate break of the rules. This article is mainly based on stylistic approach to literary theory with qualitative design. For the theoretical insights, certain related books by Shklovsky (1987), Leech (1988), and Lazar (1993) were duly consulted.  After the analysis of the obtained data, it was found out that there were a considerable number of deviations on the levels of word-meaning and the word-order in the pattern of poetic expression. The sole motive of deviant text is the stylistic purpose and enhancement of the expressive range.
Transnationals’ Search for Home in Bhattarai's Muglan
Authors: Timalsina Ramji
Published: August 2022

This article addresses the issue of Nepali transnationals’ search for home as depicted in Govinda Raj Bhattarai’s novel Muglan. The novel presents three types of transnationals as its characters: diasporans, transnational mobiles and transnational outsiders. Throughout the life, all of them go on searching for a home that can provide them comfort, security and peace of mind. But none of the characters can achieve it. The novel presents the reality of Nepali transnational migration that is continued for centuries. For the analysis of the characters and their condition and consequences, the theories of transnationalism and diaspora have been used. Janine Dahinden’s idea of three types of transnational migrants and Steven Vertovec’s discussion on the practice of cultural diaspora have been the main theoretical bases for this study. Both of the theorists claim that the transnationals leave their homeland with the motive of making their home back in the land of origin better than that of the time they leave it. Throughout their stay in the host land, they try to achieve their goal sacrificing everything they have. Some of them try to find their dream home even in the host land. But finally, they cannot achieve their dream in the reality. So, the transnationals remain homeless throughout. Bhattarai’s Muglan gives fictio-realistic expression to this theoretical claim.

The panel data (70 observations) of 7 listed banks out of 27 banks was used to examine the determinants of banks' financial performance, such as ROE. The relationship and effect of the above-mentioned factors on the financial performance of commercial banks in Nepal were investigated using a correlational and causal research methodology in this study. This research discovered a link between board size, business size, foreign ownership, and credit-to-deposit ratio with financial performance. Again, the size of the board of directors, the size of the company, foreign ownership, and the credit-to-deposit ratio have all been found to have a major influence on financial success.
Determinants of Nepal's Foreign Exchange Reserve: An Empirical Study
Authors: Gajurel Ram Prasad
Published: August 2022

With the intent to fill the gaps in the empirical literature on foreign exchange reserve in Nepal, the paper aims to evaluate the empirical evidence of determinants of foreign exchange reserve in Nepal and to investigate the dynamic relationship among variables of interest using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) error correction model and impulse response functions (IRFs) with 40 years of data from the period 1980-2020. The stylized facts of the employed model in the short run, reveal that the previous year's foreign exchange reserve itself, and all other predictors except gross fixed capital formation and official exchange rate (have negative) have a positive effect on foreign exchange reserve. The empirical evidence also insights that net flows of foreign direct investment, GDP per capita, inflation, and official exchange rate have positively influenced the foreign exchange reserve in long run. On the contrary, gross fixed capital formation has negative effects in long run. Moreover, anticipated crucial proxies––current account balance and trade are positively influenced but not significant. However, any impulse on the current account balance reports a significant response of foreign exchange. Thus, the central bank of Nepal and policymakers are needed to focus on the productivity of gross fixed capital formation or domestic investment to maintain the reserve adequacy and should give their attention to the current account balance (import and export) that can maintain the foreign exchange reserve and financial/economic stability and safety.
Liquidity and Profitability of Low and High Turnover Commercial Banks in Nepal
Authors: Goet Jogindar
Published: August 2022

This paper explores the effect of several bank-specific variables, including capital and liquidity, on the profitability of listed commercial banks operating in Nepal. Factors of banks’ profitability like net profit ratio, return on assets, and return on equity have been assessed by the panel data (10 observations) of six listed banks out of twenty-seven banks. In this study, liquidity has been quantified in regulatory capital, loan and advance to total deposit, liquid assets to total assets, liquid assets to total deposit, and cash reserve ratio. This study found a significant correlation between liquidity variables and profitability variables. Again, it has been shown that the cash reserve ratio significantly impacts the net profit ratio, return on assets, and equity. Likewise, loan and advance to total deposit, liquid assets to total assets, and liquid assets to total deposit have no significant impact on the selected banks’ net profit ratio, return on assets, and return on equity.

Hati merupakan oragn terbesar dalam tubuh manusia, beratnya sekitar 3 lbs. Hati letaknya berada di sisi kanan rongga perut di bawah diafragma. Dimana hati  itu sendiri bertindak sebagai filter darah dalam tubuh. Hampir semua darah melewati liver. kerusakan liver menimbulkan komplikasi terhadap penyakit yang  lain. Beberapa penelitian dilakukan untuk mendiagnosis pasien yang terkena penyakit liver. Dari permaslahan diatas hal yang memungkinkan adalah melakukan penelitian dengan cara menemukan korelasi antar atribut yang berpengaruh terhadap timbulnya penyakit liver. Pengolahan data mining menjadi salah satu solusi dalam penelitian untuk menemukan keterkaitan antar atribut data untuk mendapatkan pengetahuan dan pola. Selain itu harus dikatehui sejauh mana tingkat kaurasi yang didapat dari model. Dengan cara membandingkan lima algoritma klasifikasi yang ditentukkan, diantaranya Decision Tree (C4.5), Naive Beyes(NB), K-Nearest Neighbor(kNN), Log-R, Deep learning. salah satu algorima terbaik dijadikan untuk pengambilan keputusan dalam menentukan pasien yang terkena atau tidaknya terhadap penyakit liver. Dalam penelitian ini kami menggunakan dataset yang didapat dari  repositori UCI yang terdiri dari 583 pasien catatan dengan 11 atribut. perbandingan yang didapat dari ke lima algoritma menggunakan algoritma dengan perangkat lunak Rapidminer untuk mengetahui mana yang paling akurat dalam memprediksi penyakit liver. Untuk menentukan indikator akurasi menggunakan metode Area Under Curve(AUC) dan uji beda (t-Test). Dari perbandingan kelima algoritma Decision Tree (C4.5) merupakan algoritma dengan hasil paling baik, dengan tingkat accuracy (72.56%) dan AUC (0.594), untuk mendapatkan performa yang lebih baik dilakukan Feature Extraction dan Feature Selection, ada kenaikan menjadi  73.24% (accuracy) dan 0.602(AUC).

Study of χbJ(nP ) → ωΥ(1S) at Belle
Authors: Stottler Zachary
Published: August 2022

We report preliminary results from a study of hadronic transitions of the χbJ (nP) states of bottomonium at Belle. The P-wave states are reconstructed in transitions to the Υ(1S) with the emission of an ω meson. The transitions of the n = 2 triplet states provide a unique laboratory in which to study nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics, as the kinematic threshold for production of an ω and Υ(1S) lies between the J = 0 and J = 1 states. A search for the χbJ (3P) states is also reported.

En el artículo abordamos la situación socioambiental de Baja California Sur, México. Esta región comprende el Golfo de California o Mar de Cortés, uno de los más ricos en biodiversidad del mundo; en el territorio de la península existen propuestas diversas de conservación con base en la gestión comunitaria de recursos. Se trata de un territorio en el que el agua es un recurso escaso y estratégico, que se encuentra en disputa y se relaciona estrechamente con la existencia de ecosistemas en buen estado. El territorio, de gran atractivo turístico, ha sido entregado en décadas recientes por las entidades gubernamentales a las grandes corporaciones del ramo, promoviendo la masificación y consecuente deterioro ecológico. La rica biodiversidad terrestre y marina, así como el agua, se encuentran en riesgo desde hace varias décadas ante amenazas como la pesca furtiva, la minería y la masificación del turismo. Analizamos con más detalle las amenazas y se consideran dos casos específicos, tanto de políticas gubernamentales erráticas como de propuestas de la sociedad civil para avanzar hacia la sustentabilidad. Específicamente, exponemos los casos del Parque Nacional Cabo Pulmo y de la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra de la Laguna; en ambos existen iniciativas comunitarias sustentables que van de la mano con la resistencia a la minería y al turismo masivo depredador. El texto aporta líneas de reflexión sobre conservación, sustentabilidad, defensa del territorio y relación con el Estado y sus políticas ambientales, tanto frente a un modelo de turismo masivo y depredador, como a amenazas tales como la minería y las disputas por el agua. Estos aportes se estructuran partiendo de las tres tesis centrales de la ecología política, el papel del Estado en las políticas de conservación y sustentabilidad. Posteriormente contextualizamos la situación socioambiental de nuestro país respecto a las áreas naturales protegidas y la de Baja California Sur, exponemos cómo se han venido desarrollando los casos antes mencionados, para finalmente aportar unas reflexiones finales.

El objetivo de este texto es describir y analizar el territorio y los actores sociales que participan en el sistema productivo de hongo comestible (Pleurotus Ostreatus, sp), en Aldama, Chiapas. Se busca generar información para el diseño de intervenciones y recomendaciones futuras para el mejoramiento de la productividad del sistema, de modo que se incida en su fortalecimiento y se convierta en una actividad resiliente. El sistema productivo de hongo comestible constituye una actividad económica con potencial para la generación de ingresos, aportes a la seguridad alimentaria, igualdad de género, cuidado del ambiente y equilibrio entre las actividades agrícolas. Para la obtención de información se utilizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas y conversaciones abiertas con actores clave. Encontramos que la cadena productiva de hongo comestible involucra principalmente cuatro municipios, 25 microempresas familiares que participan en la producción de hongo y una sociedad cooperativa vinculada al servicio de comercialización y provisión de insumos. El sistema productivo ofrece diversas oportunidades para la reactivación económica de los pequeños espacios que disponen los productores, sobre todo ante la crisis del café y otras actividades productivas, además, de los efectos de la pandemia por el COVID-19. Sin embargo, existen limitaciones como los bajos rendimientos, altos costos de insumos, desconocimiento técnico y normativo, aunado al conflicto agrario que existe entre comunidades de Aldama con la población de Santa Martha, Chenalhó en Chiapas.

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue analizar la competitividad de 52 trapiches paneleros ubicados en la Región de Huatusco en Veracruz, México. Se analizaron las diferencias que existen en sus niveles de competitividad, identificando los factores que explican las diferencias en las etapas de la cadena de suministro del piloncillo: producción primaria, proceso agroindustrial y comercialización. Los resultados indican que la antigüedad en la operación del trapiche y la innovación en el procesamiento del piloncillo determinan los niveles de competitividad. Se encontró que más del 60 por ciento de los trapiches en la muestra se ubican en un nivel bajo de competitividad, lo cual tiene implicaciones de política pública para la toma de decisiones en esta agroindustria rural.
