Authors: Vaidya Nirsula , Shrestha Rikesh , Thapa Bhawana
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the work-study-life balance among Nepalese students in the United States, highlighting the push and pull factors influencing their migration and experiences. Utilising a qualitative case study approach, the paper conducted in-depth interviews with seven Nepalese students enrolled at a university in Texas, USA. Findings reveal that significant push factors, such as inadequate educational opportunities and economic instability in Nepal, drive students to seek better prospects abroad. Conversely, pull factors, including high-quality education, job opportunities, and an improved quality of life, attract them to the U.S. Participants reported diverse experiences, with many facing challenges such as cultural adjustment, financial burdens, and mental health issues. While undergraduate students often encountered greater financial pressures than their graduate peers, those who secured scholarships or on-campus employment reported more manageable circumstances. Despite these hurdles, students expressed optimism about their personal and professional growth opportunities. This paper underscores the need for targeted institutional support to enhance the well-being of international students, facilitating their successful adaptation and balance between academic and work commitments in a foreign environment.

Authors: Subedi Dhruba Prasad , Bhandari Dilli Ram
Published: December 2024

Organisational culture drives innovation by cultivating values, behaviours, and mindsets that encourage creativity, collaboration, and risk-taking, thereby enhancing the organisation’s ability to generate and implement new ideas. Strategic leadership strengthens this relationship by aligning cultural values with innovation objectives, empowering teams, and guiding organisations towards embracing change and creative solutions. This study aims to examine the impact of strategic leadership on the relationship between organisational culture and innovation in three-star hotels located in Kathmandu. To achieve this objective, data were collected from 272 managerial, assistant, officer, and junior-level employees using a structured questionnaire administered through a convenience sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using Process Macro 4, applying a 95% confidence interval and 5,000 bootstrapping samples. This study reveals that organizational culture enhances innovation by creating a supportive environment that promotes creativity, collaboration, and openness to embracing new ideas and approaches among the employees. This study also highlighted the vital role of strategic leadership in bridging organisational culture with innovation.

Authors: Ojha Gaurav
Published: December 2024

This study examines the critical thinking dispositions of undergraduate students specializing in business and management studies at different university-affiliated colleges in Kathmandu Valley. The primary purpose of this study is to determine to what extent the sampled undergraduate students display critical thinking dispositions in a cross-sectional survey study related to management education in Nepal. The sample size of this study consists of 110 undergraduate students graduating in management and business specialisations, and the data was collected using the parameters of the California critical thinking dispositions inventory. The results of this study indicate a significant number of undergraduate students displayed negative, ambivalent, and insufficient critical thinking dispositions. This study reveals that critical thinking abilities of students are not fully developed during their undergraduate business and management studies. Therefore, this study suggests that academic institutions that offer management education need to create an institutional framework for critical thinking culture and offer academic environment that supports student’s development of critical thinking abilities.
The Impact of Online Consumer Reviews on Purchase Intentions: A Study of Cosmetic Product Buyers on E-Commerce Platforms in Nepal
Authors: Pudasaini Pooja , Dangol Jeetendra
Published: December 2024

This study aims to assess the effects of online consumer reviews on the cosmetic purchasing behaviour in Nepal, based on 384 responses from individuals aged 15 to 60. Correlation analysis revealed positive associations (moderate, weak, or strong) with customer purchasing plans. Regression analysis helped determine the alignment of variables using P-values. The outcome revealed that review quality and quantity have a strong relationship with purchasing intentions, thus supporting the hypothesis. In contrast, source credibility and valence did not show a significant impact. Influencers, such as bloggers and celebrities, played a mediating role, affecting purchase decisions through their critiques. This underscores the importance of positive reviews, and the trust customers place in influencers. For marketing companies, it is crucial to carefully select brand influencers to effectively leverage potential customers’ buying decisions.

Impact of teachers' background on their perceptions of factors influencing the effectiveness of lessons
Authors: Čibej Jan
Published: December 2024

Measuring the effectiveness of lessons is a complex activity and is often based on the perceptions of teachers, which can also be influenced by the characteristics of individual teachers. The goal of this research study was to compare the attitudes of teachers, who are part of an adapted educational programme with a lower educational standard, on the importance of various factors related to the effectiveness of lessons. The factors evaluated include their basic education, years of work experience, and the assessment of their own competence for working with students with special needs. The research sample consisted of 112 teachers who were part of the above-mentioned educational programme. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess the normality of the data and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the teachers’ views on the importance of the influence of a single factor on the effectiveness of lessons (i.e.,) the characteristics of the teachers’ background. The results show that, based on the basic education of the teachers, there are differences in the teaching materials and the teaching and didactic aids used during lessons. Special and rehabilitation pedagogues attribute a greater influence of these variables on the effectiveness of lessons compared to teachers with the different educational background. Differences were also observed in the lesson planning variable: teachers with higher number of years of work experience believe that lesson planning has a significant influence on the effectiveness of lessons. Furthermore, the results indicate that differences in terms of self-assessed competence in working with students with special needs are associated with the motivation variable: teachers who reported high competence for working with students with special needs attributed this variable as having the greatest influence on the effectiveness of lessons. Based on these findings, we attempted to explain the potential reasons for the differences observed in the perceptions of teachers regarding the influence of individual variables on the effectiveness of lessons and how these variables may change based on the background of the teachers involved in the present research study.

Employee-oriented HR practices have ascertained their instrumentality in nurturing innovative work behavior (IWB) of employees via career satisfaction (CS). This study aims to investigate how employee-oriented human resource (HR) practices (salary, job enrichment, job stability, training) can influence career satisfaction that subsequently affects employees' innovative behavior. Anchoring on social exchange theory and signaling theory, the data for the study was collected from 358 employees of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by purposive sampling. The study applied Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS 4 to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings of this study offer useful insights into the degree to which career satisfaction mediates the impact of employee-oriented HR practices on innovative work behavior. The results suggest a significant but moderate to weak; positive association between employee-oriented HR practices and their innovative activity. Furthermore, the research establishes the mediating impact of career satisfaction while investigating the mechanism through which employee-oriented HR practices foster innovative work behavior. The study expands the knowledge base of extant literature by illuminating the critical role of employee-oriented HR practices in driving employees’ innovative behavior at the workplace. Besides, it illuminates the mediating role of career satisfaction, accenting the necessity for companies to not only implement employee-oriented HR practices but also foster a sense of satisfaction within employees to unearth the full potential of innovative behaviors within the workforce.
Assessment of Pharmacists' Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice on Drugs Disposal in a Sample of Iraqi Community Pharmacists: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Abd-ul Munaf Mohammed  , Al-Hamadani Fadya
Published: December 2024

Inadequate knowledge regarding the appropriate methods for disposing of unused medicines can lead to substantial consequences, such as the accumulation of chemicals and hazardous substances derived from the pharmaceuticals in the surrounding environment. Additionally, for the public's health, pharmacies must be aware of proper methods to eliminate expired medications. The first aim of this study was to evaluate the level of knowledge among community pharmacies regarding the suggested strategies for drug disposal and the potential hazards associated with improper disposal of pharmaceutical waste. Additionally, the study aimed to ascertain the attitudes and practices of community pharmacies toward the appropriate disposal of pharmaceutical waste. The study utilized an observational cross-sectional design, conducted within the timeframe of February 28th to May 11th, 2023. The data were acquired through the implementation of a web-based questionnaire. The study included 385 Iraqi pharmacists. On average, the participants obtained a below-average score of 2.49 out of 8 in the knowledge section. A significant proportion, specifically 91%, of the pharmacists who took part in the study acknowledged employing improper methods for disposing of expired medications within their respective community pharmacies. However, it is worth noting that the majority of these participating pharmacists exhibited a favorable disposition toward recognizing the importance of implementing appropriate disposal practices for expired medication within community pharmacy settings. A significant proportion (86-87%) of the participants exhibit favorable intentions regarding their involvement in the awareness/educational program concerning the tack-back program and the safe disposal of materials. Community-based pharmacies lack expertise and skills regarding drug disposal. However, most pharmacists acknowledge the environmental damage caused by medication disposal. They also showed a willingness to learn about safe medicine disposal. A proper strategy for collecting and disposal of outdated, unused, and expired pharmaceuticals should be implemented.

SOCIAL INSURANCE FUNDS AND THEIR ROLE IN PROVIDING SOCIAL BENEFITS
Authors: Chvertko Liudmyla , Poliekhina Victoriia
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to topical issues of social insurance, in particular, to determining the role of the State Social Insurance Trust Funds in providing social benefits to persons exposed to social risks. The author identifies the types of social risks covered by compulsory state social insurance in Ukraine, their essence, and the list of insurance benefits and social services guaranteed by Ukrainian legislation under certain types of compulsory state social insurance. The author characterizes the effectiveness of insurance protection of the population in Ukraine through the social insurance system in recent years, identifies the challenges to its development related to the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's large-scale military invasion of Ukraine, and assesses the ability of compulsory state social insurance to ensure adequate social protection of citizens from social risks and maintain their well-being in accordance with generally accepted standards. Attention is drawn to the problems of financing social benefits against the background of record growth in consumer prices and devaluation of the hryvnia and their significance for the insured persons. It is substantiated that the amount of such payments, despite periodic increases due to their indexation or recalculation, is mostly insufficient and often does not meet the needs of recipients. An example of changes in the amount of pensions granted in 2024 and the distribution of pensioners by type of pension is given. It is noted that a significant number of pensioners are completely dependent on pension payments due to health conditions, physical limitations and other factors that do not allow them to work or engage in additional activities to generate additional income. It is proved that there is an urgent need to improve financing mechanisms and increase support from social insurance funds to ensure an adequate level of social protection of the population in the face of current challenges. Revision of these mechanisms can contribute to the stability of the social insurance system by increasing its ability to respond to social and economic risks that have been exacerbated by the pandemic, economic difficulties, and military operations

Published: December 2024

Подано результати досліджень впливу згодовування дійним коровам соняшникової олії і насіння соняшнику на молочну продуктивність та жирнокислотний склад молочного жиру.
Зауважено, що використання жирових добавок, які характерні високою енергетичною цінністю, позитивно впливає на молочну продуктивність корів. Особливо це спостерігається у першій фазі лактації, коли тварини не можуть спожити такої кількості кормів, щоб забезпечити себе енергією для реалізації генетично запрограмованої продуктивності.
Через процеси біогідрогенізації у рубці молоко корів, незважаючи на достатню кількість ненасичених жирних кислот у раціоні, містить невеликі їх кількості, а вони позитивно позначаються на здоров’ї людей. Крім того, введення до раціону рослинних олій негативно впливає на процеси перетравлення у рубці клітковини. Згодовування ж насіння олійних культур може бути одним із методів зниження негативного впливу ненасичених жирних кислот на життєдіяльність мікроорганізмів рубця, підвищення енергетичної цінності раціону, молочної продуктивності та якості молока.
Дослід проводили у зимово-стійловий період. Після підготовчого періоду корів розділили на три групи по п’ять голів у кожній. Упродовж дослідного періоду тварини першої групи одержували раціон без жирових добавок. Коровам другої групи замість частини концентратів до раціону вводили соняшникову олію у кількості 3 % від сухої речовини. Тваринам третьої групи замість частини концентратів згодовували насіння соняшнику в кількості, еквівалентній 3 % олії від сухої речовини.
Доведено, що згодовування дійним коровам соняшникової олії збільшує надій молока та вихід лактози, тоді як надій, скоригований на базисну жирність, вміст у молоці жиру, білка, лактози, а також вихід молочного жиру і білка, знижувалися. Вказана жирова добавка знижувала в молочному жирі вміст С12-С16 і насичених жирних кислот, тоді як вміст С18, моно- і поліненасичених жирних кислот підвищувався.
Зауважено, що використання в годівлі корів насіння соняшнику підвищує надій, вміст молочного жиру, білка, лактози, а також вихід молочного жиру, білка і лактози. Введення до раціону цієї жирової добавки знизило в жирі молока вміст С12-С16 і насичених жирних кислот, тоді як вміст С18, моно- і поліненасичених жирних кислот зріс.

Son choix contre le progrès détruira sa famille et mènera le forgeron à la mort. Cette histoire est l’occasion pour Erckmann-Chatrian de donner un souffle épique et tragique à un événement – la venue du chemin de fer dans les campagnes lorraines – qui vient bouleverser l’ordre naturel. La modernité n’a pas que des bons côtés et Rock en fera la triste expérience. Le roman de 1861 apparaît comme une parabole empreinte de saint-simonisme.
Analysis of the right to live in a clean and healthy environment under Vietnamese law and suggestions on how it could be improved
Authors: Thiet Tran Cong
Published: December 2024

In October 2021, in line with previous international treaty obligations, in particular the 1972 Stock­holm Declaration, the United Nations Human Rights Council’s Resolution 48/13, granted all people the right to live in a clean and healthy environment. Article 43 of the Vietnam Constitution affirms that a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is a human right for all, not just a privilege for some. Nevertheless, environmental pollution and its devastating impact on local communities throughout Vietnam still generally continue unabat­ed due to the failure of national and local authorities to adequately monitor polluters, enforce environmental protections, and prosecute offenders. The purpose of this article is to outline some of the reasons why problems exist in the implementation of current Vietnamese environmental law and provide some suggestions on how many of these challenges could be overcome.

Przedmiotem opracowania jest analiza kierunków dokonanych w latach 2021–2022 zmian reguł opodatkowania dochodów osób fizycznych w świetle wybranych zasad podatkowych. Konstrukcja obowiązu­jącego od 1992 r. podatku dochodowego od osób fizycznych opierała się na pewnych założeniach, określanych w doktrynie prawa podatkowego mianem zasad podatkowych. Na przestrzeni ponad trzydziestu lat kształt podatku dochodowego ulegał licznym przemianom, które prowadziły do stopniowego odejścia od począt­kowo przyjętych założeń. W artykule zaprezentowano ocenę dokonywanych zmian z punktu widzenia zasad: równości, pewności, zakazu działania prawa wstecz, ochrony praw sprawiedliwie nabytych, ustawowego umo­cowania podatków, jasności, stabilności i taniości. W badaniach posłużono się dogmatyczno-prawną metodą badawczą. W wyniku przeprowadzonej analizy można sformułować wniosek głoszący, że wprowadzane zmiany w regułach opodatkowania dochodów osób fizycznych, zwłaszcza te dokonane w latach 2021–2022, w istotny sposób naruszają zasady podatkowe, w tym w szczególności zasadę równości i pewności podatku.
Anti-Money Laundering in the EU – the Adoption of New Rules
Authors: Laptes Ramona
Published: December 2024

Europe started the fight against money laundering in 1990. Since then, European rules in this matter have been constantly adjusted, with the latest changes taking place in 2024, to counter this phenomenon, which has escalated in recent decades. The fight is difficult because new technologies and the liberalization of capital flows globally are being exploited by financial criminals. On the other hand, the compliance costs of European entities, especially banks, to align with the rules in force substantially exceed the sums of money recovered by the authorities. Moreover, money laundering is a difficult phenomenon to quantify because in the EU states there are no relevant statistical data on the dynamics of this phenomenon.

Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan worksheet graphing quadratics efektif dalam mengoptimalkan kemampuan visualisasi matematis mahasiswa.
The limited visual mathematical thinking abilities of students can hinder a deep understanding of quadratic functions. This study aims to address this issue by evaluating the effectiveness of graphing quadratics worksheets in enhancing students' visual mathematical thinking. The research employs a Single Subject Research (SSR) method, focusing on individual performance changes across baseline and intervention phases. Three first-year students from the mathematics education program at Universitas Serang Raya participated in the study. Performance data were collected over three sessions in the baseline phase and five sessions in the intervention phase. Linear regression analysis was used to assess significant differences between baseline and intervention phases. The results indicated a significant improvement in each subject's performance during the intervention, with an increase in level, a strong trend, and immediate change upon the intervention’s onset. These findings suggest that graphing quadratics worksheets effectively optimize students' mathematical visualization skills.

Kepercayaan diri merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam keberhasilan seseorang. Tingginya motivasi belajar seseorang akan berbanding lurus dengan peningkatan hasil belajar. Selain itu ada asumsi yang menyatakan bahwa gender mempengaruhi motivasi belajar sesorang sehingga berpengaruh juga pada hasil belajarnya. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai gender dan kepercayaan diri mempengaruhi hasil belajar mahasiswa. Penelitian kuantitatif yang dilakukan pada salah satu Universitas Negeri di Sumatera Utara bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi dampak self-efficacy dan motivasi belajar terhadap Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK) dengan mempertimbangkan perbedaan jenis kelamin. Sampel acak sederhana sebanyak 166 mahasiswa dipilih untuk desain korelasional. Data yang dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dianalisis menggunakan regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa self-efficacy dan motivasi belajar tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap IPK berdasarkan jenis kelamin. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan nilai F hitung yang tidak signifikan. Koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,086 dan koefisien determinasi sebesar 0,007 menunjukkan kecilnya pengaruh variabel-variabel tersebut terhadap varians IPK. Penelitian berikutnya harus mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor lain yang berkontribusi terhadap hasil IPK untuk pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif tentang pengaruhnya terhadap prestasi akademik.
Self-efficacy is one of the important factors in one's success. The high motivation of a person to learn will be directly proportional to the increase in learning outcomes. In addition, there is an assumption that gender affects a person's learning motivation so that it also affects their learning outcomes. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct research on gender and self-efficacy affecting student learning outcomes. This quantitative study, conducted at one of the State Universities in North Sumatra aim to evaluate the impact of self-efficacy and learning motivation on Grade Point Average (GPA), considering gender differences. A simple random sample of 166 students was selected for a correlational design. Data collected through questionnaires were analyzed using multiple regression. Results indicated that neither self-efficacy nor learning motivation significantly influenced GPA based on gender, as indicated by an insignificant F-calculated value. The correlation coefficient was 0.086, and the coefficient of determination was 0.007, indicating a minimal influence of these variables on the variance of GPA. Future research should explore other factors contributing to GPA outcomes for a more comprehensive understanding of the influences on academic achievement.
