The monograph submits the results of long-term scientific research of the Institute of Feed Research and Agriculture of Podillia of NAAS and the co-executors of the scientific research program “Feed Production”, based on modern scientific methodology and applied research. A detailed analysis of the technological processes of feeds procurement, changes in the biochemical composition and nutritional value of forage crops occuring at various stages of conservation, storage and use of feeds, is made. The state of the art of today’s feed production in Ukraine is covered completely in detail and conceptual solutions for improving the technology of procurement, storage and use of feeds are proposed. It is demonstrated that safety of feeds for farm animals should be regarded as eсological security guarantee for human life and health. The emphasis is placed on the importance of biochemical research for agricultural practices, aimed at ensuring quality and safety plant and animal products, as biochemical foundations and applied scientific research are crucial for the feed crop productivity formation, composition of feeds and thereby food products. Modern requirements for the quality and safety feeds with respect to international standards are identified. The need for maximum control of the content of nutrients and anti-nutrients with the purpose of maintaining the high level of protein, lipid, carbohydrate, mineral and vitamin complex of feed is outlined. Methodological aspects of new feed additives composition development in today’s conditions of livestock production and modern approaches to balancing rations for farm animals are presented. The monograph is intended for the wide range of spesialists in agriculture: managers of agribusinesses, livestock complexes and feed mills, farmers, scientists, advisors, teachers and students of agricultural universities and other research institutions.
DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL THINKING OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN ECONOMICS IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALIZATION
Authors: Riznyk Viacheslav
Published: January 2024

The article presents a theoretical generalization and practical substantiation of the model for the development of critical thinking of future specialists in economics in the context of digitalization. The development of critical thinking of future specialists in economics in the context of digitalization is interpreted as a process of improving their characteristics of thinking, which is based on the perception of analytical activity as basic for professional economic activity and is implemented through the influence on the motivation to carry out analytical activities, development of knowledge in mathematics and professional disciplines, development of skills to perform analytical activities and the ability to reflect on them. The author creates the theoretical model of development critical thinking for future specialists in economics. It is shown that the model is based on the use of a set of general didactic principles (systematic, connection of theory with practice, individualization, activity, systematic development of basic types of thinking, visibility) and specific principles (systematic, student-centered, use of competence tasks, dynamism, modeling of professional activity). Based on the quantitative statistical (Pearson χ2 homogeneity test) and qualitative analysis of the results, it was found that the implementation of the model for the development of critical thinking of future specialists in economics led to significant statistically significant changes in the levels of its formation among students of the experimental group.

Accounting for Student Characteristics in Teacher Quality Estimates from Classroom Observation Instruments
Authors: White Mark
Published: January 2024

Scores from formal classroom observation systems are used for many purposes in both research and practice. One important question arising from these uses concerns when observation scores should be adjusted for student characteristics, as scores are often highly correlated with student characteristics. This paper considers this question from a measurement perspective, highlighting three basic interpretations of scores and five pathways through which scores could correlate with student characteristics. Adjusting observation scores is only recommended when interpreting scores as representing teacher quality and for some pathways, which implies that complex, partial adjustments of the relationship between observation scores and student characteristics are likely necessary. Given the difficulty of such partial adjustments, the paper presents bounding exercises to explore the potential size of the bias introduced to teacher quality estimates. The results suggest that rater error threatens score interpretations more than whether scores are adjusted for student characteristics.

Published: January 2024

Background: Motivating interaction by physical activity professionals result in stronger, more high-quality motivation and sustained health behaviours. However, professionals often encounter difficulties in adopting and sustaining motivating behaviours and existing training studies have failed to show long-lasting effects. This may be due to inadequate examination of intervention acceptability (e.g. perceived effectiveness, burden). Secondly, trainings so far have underused behaviour science, although systematic use of such understanding and behaviour change techniques (BCTs) such as habit-theory based strategies might efficiently improve interaction styles. Research questions: We examined whether the novel MotiStyleSport intervention is acceptable among health care professionals, physical education teachers and sport coaches (pre-registered hypothesis), and their BCT enactment. We also explored the uptake of motivating behaviours, and pre-post changes in (de)motivating styles.Methods: In a one-arm feasibility study, participants (n=145) attended six two-hour online sessions in multiprofessional groups and filled in online surveys at baseline, mid-intervention and post-intervention.Results: The intervention (overall training, sessions, homework, workbook, peer support, multiprofessionality, online delivery) was highly acceptable among all professional groups. BCT enactment varied, ranging from the least enacted BCT social support (8.3%) to the most enacted BCT obtaining information about antecedents (96.3%). Approximately 90% reported practising the most popular interaction techniques (open questions, reflective listening and displaying appreciation and acceptance). Statistically significant improvements in desired directions were detected in (de)motivating styles within all professional groups.Discussion: This study provided evidence for acceptability of MotiStyleSport intervention. Incorporating a range of BCTs, has potential to improve interaction trainings.

Authors: Bhatta Prashant , Amatya Iswar Man
Published: January 2024

High-rate tube settlers are a cost-effective way to update and improve the capacity and efficiency of treatment plants, particularly sedimentation tanks. They take up far less area than traditional sedimentation tanks, in addition to being more efficient. For the Nayabazar Townplanning Groundwater Project (NTGWP), the study aims to calculate the turbidity removal efficiency of tube settlers at various angles of inclination with changing discharge . The study has been carried out at varying flows of 560 lit/min, 630 lit/min, and 690 lit/min for the 77° inclination angle and 60° inclination angle, and the data were analyzed to find the best flow conditions. The removal efficiencies of tube settlers increased for each flow condition at 60º inclination compared to 77° inclination, but decreased as the discharge increased.
Structural stability analysis of proposed Budhi Gandaki dam and optimization
Authors: Bimal Ojha  , Hari Ram Parajuli
Published: January 2024

High-rise arch dams are frequently employed in the construction of large storage-type hydropower projects due to their cost-effectiveness. This study presents the comparison in stress and deformation behavior of concrete dam and concrete face rock-fill dam under worst combination of loads. For illustrative purpose, the proposed double curvature arch dam of Budhigandaki Hydroelectric Project is chosen with some modifications. This study proposed the 3-D finite element method (FEM) for stress and deformation analysis of dam considering material non-linearity between concrete and rock-fill material following Drucker-Prager yield criteria. The proposed methodology is implemented through ANSYS 2021. The hydrodynamic pressure of reservoir water is modeled as added mass using Westergaard approach. The compressive and tensile stress developed in both types of dams are investigated and analyzed for different load combinations. The force acting at base of dam and deformation at crest level is also investigated. The results for both types of dam are found to be comparable which suggests that the wasteful volume of concrete can be replaced by consolidated soil (rock-fill) to decrease the overall construction cost of project.

Published: January 2024

Solid waste is the useless, unwanted, and discarded material performed from the day-to-day conditioning in the community. The solid waste operation could also be outlined by the discipline related to the operation of generation, storehouse, collection, transfer, processing, and disposal of solid waste. The present paper is based on the study carried out in 75 houses having small family sizes a member of five to seven for identification and categorization of solid waste in Rampur municipality. For the research field, visits and desk studies for data collection were made through a questionnaire survey, key informant survey, and visits to various households and dumping sites were made. From the analysis, the composition of the waste is found as follows, organic waste-65%, Plastic-14%, Paper-5%, Glass-6%, rubbers-4%, Hazardous-2%, and Other-4%. The study has found that the average per capita per day waste of the study area is 0.022 Kg/Person/Day. The average waste generation per person per day in a municipality is 0.078 kg, and total waste generation in the study area and municipality per day is 435kg and 3325kg respectively. It has been observed that more than 65% of the waste is generated by households and the remaining, mixed waste is then collected and dispatched to the Bittar landfill site by trucks, which is located at 5Km far from the Rampur Municipality office. From the study, it was concluded that for sustainable solid waste management in Rampur Municipality, the landfilling option was suggested and the required size, and cost estimation for construction and operation was also carried out.
Estimation of hydraulic parameter (Manning’s roughness coefficient) in mountainous river at middle stage of Hindu Kush Himalaya region
Authors: Lamichhane Suraj , Devkota Nirajan , Dawadi Sarita , Tamrakar Jebin
Published: January 2024

Manning's roughness coefficient (n) holds significant importance within a hydrodynamic model, yet its value is notably subject to variation, influenced by both time and specific site conditions. Determining the appropriate value for 'n' is a challenging endeavour, particularly in natural watercourses, given the multitude of factors that impact this coefficient. The research unveils findings from a hydraulic model, examining the fluctuation of Manning’s roughness coefficient concerning discharge, thereby influencing the flow depth in the mountainous areas of Nepal situated within the middle stage of the Hindu Kush Himalaya region. This study applied the unsteady flow model HEC-RAS to three comparable reaches in Nepal—the Bagmati River, Kamala River, and Kankai River—to determine the Manning’s coefficient. Through the calibration method, which involves aligning the value to accurately replicate observed data, a suitable Manning’s roughness coefficient "n" was identified. The findings indicate that this coefficient varies notably with reduced discharge and flow depth.
Harmonic analysis of cantilever beam with uniform cross section with a concentrated mass at its free end and with a uniformly distributed harmonic force.
Authors: Anuska Gautam  , Nabin Adhikari  , Mahesh Chandra Luitel
Published: January 2024

Cracks are one of the most catastrophic breakdowns that reduce useful life and contribute to the collapse of structural elements and structures. Today, component failure is the primary cause of structural element and structure failure. Depending on the depth and location of the crack, surface cracks on structural elements like beams result in significant differences in stiffness of the component. Certain vibrational characteristics can be used to identify beam fractures. The existence of fractures affects vibration factors including mode shapes and natural frequencies as well as the structural integrity. Modal analysis may be used to determine vibrational properties including modal frequencies and mode shapes for a structural component. In this work, harmonic analysis of a cantilever steel beam is conducted for various scenarios with cracks, no cracks at various locations using ANSYS software. Harmonic analysis is done within the study by taking a uniformly distributed force over the beam and the change in modal frequencies along with change in deformation pattern for different cases are visualized.

Authors: Budathoki Dhruba Kumar
Published: January 2024

The paper aims at examining the influence of extrinsic JS factors on organizational commitment of employees in banking sector of Pokhara Metropolis. Non-managerial employees of government, joint- and non-joint venture commercial banks comprising 102 males and 107 females were approached for opinion survey. A questionnaire consisting of five-point Likert scales along with demographic questions were disseminated to collect the data. Using descriptive  and analytical method, the results were obtained. The results revealed that a high level of extrinsic job satisfaction appeared when employees have friendly relation with supervisors, while they were least satisfied with pay. It implies that banking employees get satisfied if their supervisor treats them as friends. The study also found those employees’ emotional feelings like loyalty, and having an affiliation with their organization was enthusiastic. Similarly, they believe better to stay in the current organization as the organization has providing something for them, because leaving current organization will need extra costs for them. Thus, there was a higher position of affective commitment and moderate level of continuance and normative commitment of employees. Finally, it was found that extrinsic job satisfaction dimensions have constructive significant impact of employees’ commitment at work place, indicating a high level of extrinsic factors play a pivotal role to satisfy the banking employee and thereby their organizational commitment. The study contributes to analyze extrinsic job satisfaction factors in banking sectors and which factor play significant role to create their commitment of employees in workplace.
Perception of Employees on Employer Branding of Nepalese Insurance Industry
Authors: Sah Gunja Kumari
Published: January 2024

In this strategic human resource management era, employees are the most crucial components in the business world. Employers must consider how their workforce views the company and its brand. The study aims to explore employees' perception of employer branding in the Nepalese Insurance Industry. The study also examines the influence of employers' brands on employees' perceptions in the Nepalese industry sectors. The research obtained information from the 400 employees working in the insurance industry by using convenience sampling techniques. However, 44 were incomplete information, 31 were removed for validity, and 325 were applicable for analysis. The structured questionnaire was prepared based on a five-point Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree to evaluate employees' perceptions. SPSS 20.0 software was used to assist in data analysis.  Information was analyzed by descriptive analysis methods in which frequency analysis, cross tab, mean, and standard deviation were considered. The study's findings explained employees' favorable perceptions toward insurance companies' brands. The employer's branding highly impacted employees' perceptions. Employees had a favorable opinion of their organization when their overall employer branding score was high. Employees with higher education levels had a positive opinion of employer brands, but people with lower education levels had a negative perception. The majority of employees agree with the company brand. Therefore, there is a greater need for insurance companies to create strategies necessary to guarantee that their employees will stay in the same workplace in the future. Employer branding benefits an organization's recruiting efforts and lowers recruitment expenditures. Additionally, the research explains employers' brands helpful for staff retention and lower employee turnover rates. So, the employer brand may be used to categorize the necessary strategies.
Mapping the Landscape of Data Collection: A Reflection on the Dynamics of Fieldwork in Qualitative Research
Authors: Subedi Khim Raj
Published: January 2024

This study explores the complexities of qualitative fieldwork and unpacks the fieldwork dynamics drawing on critical reflections based on the experiences of interviewing primary level teachers in exploring their identities. I argue that qualitative fieldwork is not a one-shot, linear activity but a negotiated and relational task requiring a flexible and context-specific plan. This study identifies challenges associated with the fieldwork relating to establishing and sustaining a good relationship and reciprocity between the researcher and the participants, unequal power dynamics between the researcher and the participants, participants’ familiarity with and habitual response to the survey questionnaires, narrow understanding of confidentiality and anonymity as ethical considerations, unmatched gender between the researcher and the participants, and through and detailed capture of micro field jottings and writing the fieldnotes. I suggest initiating fieldwork with sufficient informal conversation and establishing a rapport to gain the participants’ trust, positioning oneself as an insider to acquire valuable and meaningful data.Fieldwork

Published: January 2024

Creating fun learning games, telling stories, and sharing warmth in social interactions are important for helping kids grow well; it is like planting seeds for a bright future workforce for the nation. This study aimed to assess factors associated with psychosocial stimulation development in 401 preschool children (3-5 years) in the Rupandehi district of Nepal. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a multistage random sampling technique. Socioeconomic and demographic data, as well as psychosocial stimulation levels, were collected through validated instruments, interviews, and direct observation. IBM SPSS version 26 was used for data analysis, with a significance level of p<0.05. Among the participants, 50.4% were economically marginalized, and only 1.2% caregivers offered high levels of psychosocial stimulation to their preschoolers. Positive associations were found between the number of children, family type, caste/ethnicity, parental education, and wealth status in the unadjusted analysis. In multivariate analysis, the psychosocial stimulation received by preschool children was positively associated with wealth status, caste, mother’s education, family structure and father’s education. Wealth status, caste, family structure, and parental education emerged as key factors influencing the psychosocial stimulation development of preschool children. Implementing strategies to promote psychosocial stimulation within families from economically marginalized backgrounds, disadvantaged castes (including Dalit, non-Dalit Tarai caste, and Janajati groups), with illiterate parents, and those living in nuclear family structures could potentially make a substantial contribution towards enhancing psychosocial stimulation among preschool children.

Authors: Ghimire Pankaj Sharma , Luitel Bal Chandra
Published: January 2024

Being a physics educator for the last two decades, the first author of this paper observed some disturbing scenarios in the educational landscape of diploma in engineering in physics theory portion. Students' academic achievements in the physics final examination conducted by Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) indicated that many failed to fulfill the minimum requirements to pass the final exam or gain good grades. In addition, most students could not apply the physics principles in real-world contexts. The purpose of this study was to explore teaching and learning practices in physics theory classrooms of Kathmandu district-based diploma in engineering schools affiliated to CTEVT. The study employed a qualitative research design and was underpinned by the social constructivist learning theory. Ethnography as a research method was employed in which participant observation and unstructured interviews were used as the research tools. A purposeful sampling was carried out to conduct the research in which nine students from two engineering institutions were taken as the research participants. Data analysis was carried out by coding the raw data primarily employing N-vivo coding thus creating several categories and finally developing three major themes. The findings indicated that the classroom dialogue didn’t support the social constructivist epistemology. Thus, the findings lead to the conclusion that traditional teacher-centric practices were prevalent at those engineering institutions that might be responsible for the poor academic achievements of students.
Teachers’ Perceived Value of Integrating ICT in Transposing English Language Teaching in Nepal
Authors: Bohara Dipak Kumar
Published: January 2024

In the evolving landscape of English Language Teaching (ELT), the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as a fundamental pedagogical approach. This research delves into the perceptions and value attributed by teachers in Nepal towards the incorporation of ICT tools and methodologies in their teaching practices. I have used content analysis method to gather the related field of studies and analysed the data. Findings indicate that significant challenges such as limited technology access, lack of trainings, administrative support, over-load of unnecessary paper-work cause major obstacles in transposing ICT in classroom. However, ICT also offers great opportunities to transfer the traditional teaching practices, develop ICT skills, access to vast source of information and more importantly, the potential era for a paradigm shifts in the recent practices. The study emphasizes the need for a strategic approach, including investment in technology infrastructure, teacher training and supportive policy environment, to enhance ICT integration in ELT classrooms. In addition, the study provides valuable insights for policy makers, educators, researchers, and other stakeholders in their efforts to integrate ICT in teaching and learning in Nepal. Most importantly, this research contributes to the escalating discourse on ICT integration in ELT by providing nuanced insights grounded in the Nepalese context. The findings advocate for a holistic approach encompassing infrastructural development, targeted professional development initiatives, and transformative pedagogical strategies to optimize the potential benefits of ICT in transposing English language teaching practices in Nepal.
Effect of Tax Structure on Income Inequality in Sri Lanka
Authors: Tharani Kanthasamy , Siriwardhane Dinesha , Silva Oshadhie
Published: January 2024

Growing income inequality is seen as one of the most important global concerns in this decade. Hence, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 aims at reducing income inequality within and among countries. IMF emphasizes that income inequality emerged as one of the critical concerns for economic policy in both developed and developing countries. However, as shown by the UN, Sri Lanka is far lower than the South Asian regional income distribution standards owing to its high inequality. At the same time, tax revenue has become one of the major concerns in the country due to its broadened internal deficit. In this background, this study examines the short-run and long-run effects of tax structure on income inequality in Sri Lanka utilizing annual statistics from 1980 to 2019 by employing the ARDL model. Findings revealed that in the long run, value-added and excise taxes have a significant association with income inequality in Sri Lanka. However, the association between personal income tax and income inequality was positive but insignificant. In contrast, corporate income tax and import duty have a statistically significant negative association with income inequality in Sri Lanka. Further, in the short run, at the overall level taxes are not significantly associated with income inequality except the personal income tax which has a significant negative association with income inequality.
‘I just never wanted them to feel uncomfortable’: Barriers to pharmacy-based identification and treatment of hepatitis C in Victoria, Canada
Authors: Selfridge Marion , Barnett Tamara , Lundgren Karen , Guarasci Kellie , Drost Anne , Fraser Chris
Published: January 2024

Background:

Canada is currently on target to reach the 2030 WHO goal of HCV elimination. Continued high rates of treatment are required to meet this goal. Novel models such as Tayside, Scotland pharmacy-based HCV screening and treatment have proven successful to engage people who use drugs (PWUD) in HCV therapy with a simplified, task-shifted cascade of care. This study seeks to determine whether these successes can be replicated at community pharmacies in Victoria BC.

Methods:

Four pharmacies who work with PWUD and provide opioid agonist therapy were trained to provide consent and perform point-of-care HCV antibody screening. They were supported by study nurse to link to HCV RNA testing when antibody positive patients were identified, with HCV treatment offered to RNA positive participants. Qualitative interviews were conducted with five pharmacy staff to explore experiences and feasibility of pharmacists in HCV care cascade.

Results:

Pharmacy staff completed 200 HCV OraQuick tests between October 2020 and June 2022: 65 HCV antibody positive, 29 HCV RNA negative (25 previously treated and 4 self-cleared). Of the 26 RNA positive participants, one is awaiting treatment, 25 people have started treatment, 22 achieving SVR. Although the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was a fundamental barrier incorporating HCV testing at pharmacies, stigma related to HCV and illicit drug use continues to impact this process.

Conclusions:

This innovative pharmacy-based approach found people with limited connection to primary health care to test and treat HCV but requires more training and support to be more widely feasible.

ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ СТВОРЕННЯ КОСМІЧНИХ СИСТЕМ СПОСТЕРЕЖЕННЯ ЗЕМЛІ В УКРАЇНІ З ПОЗИЦІЇ ПУБЛІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ
Authors: Кошова Світлана
Published: January 2024

Стаття присвячена визначенню перспектив України щодо розробки та запуску космічних систем спостереження Землі, проблем, які уповільнюють цей процес та шляхів їх вирішення. Актуальність дослідження полягає в необхідності створення власних супутників дистанційного зондування Землі та їх угрупувань для цивільного та оборонного сектору.

Мета статті – розробити ефективні напрями вирішення проблем, які стримують створення космічних систем спостереження Землі в Україні. Для досягнення поставленої мети було визначено поняття «спостереження Землі» та «дистанційне зондування Землі», встановлено сферу застосування систем спостереження Землі та їх значення для нашої держави.

За результатами аналізу досвіду США, Китаю та Індії й поточного стану космічної галузі України визначено проблеми, які стримують створення та розвиток власного супутникового угрупування космічного спостереження. Розроблені шляхи вирішення цих проблем. У ході дослідження використовувалися загальнонаукові методи, до яких можна віднести метод аналізу, синтезу, порівняння, індукції та дедукції.

За результатами дослідження встановлено, що Україна має значні перспективи щодо розробки космічних систем спостереження, однак запустити цей процес заважає низка проблем в космічній галузі. Зокрема, незатвердженою залишається Загальнодержавна цільова науково-технічна космічна програма на 2021–2025 рр., немає інвесторів, готових фінансувати українські розробки, космічні апарати вітчизняного виробництва є технологічно відсталими та недовговічними, а збитковість державних підприємств не дає можливості працювати над складними проєктами. Необхідно відзначити й відсутність кваліфікованих кадрів, які необхідні для реалізації завдань, передбачених Програмою. Вирішити ці проблеми можна шляхом ініціювання розгляду та затвердження Програми Верховною Радою України, налагодження співпраці з іншими країнами, впровадження нових технологій, залучення приватних компаній, забезпечення достойної оплати праці та створення комфортних умов роботи вітчизняним спеціалістам.

Практичне значення дослідження полягає в можливості застосування його результатів в космічній галузі.

Published: January 2024

Чільне місце у забезпеченні високого ступеня соціальної захищеності громадян займає можливість одержання необхідної, своєчасної та якісної медичної допомоги. Щороку чисельність населення в Україні знижується, стан здоров’я громадян у працездатному віці погіршується, а обсяги економічно активного населення зменшуються. Відтак, обов’язковою умовою забезпечення успішності розпочатої у 2017 р. медичної реформи постає запровадження системи медичного страхування.

У статті проаналізовано поточний стан вітчизняної системи охорони здоров’я. Визначено порядок реалізації права на безкоштовну медичну допомогу в Україні. Встановлено факт хронічного недофінансування галузі. На підтвердження цього графічно відображено та проаналізовано динаміку зміни частки видатків на охорону здоров’я у зведеному бюджеті та у валовому внутрішньому продукті. Проведено співставлення рівня витрат на охорону здоров’я в Україні з рекомендаціями Всесвітньої організації охорони здоров’я. Проаналізовано стан ринку добровільного медичного страхування, визначено вплив повномасштабної війни з російською федерацією на процеси, які на ньому відбуваються. Досліджено перелік компанії-лідерів в даному сегменті ринку за розміром страхових премій за підсумками 9 місяців 2022 р., визначено динаміку зміни розміру страховий премій у порівнянні з аналогічним періодом 2021 р. Систематизовано результати огляду страхового ринку у 2022 р., проведеного Національним банком України. Структуровано підводні камені, на які наштовхується добровільне медичне страхування, а саме: небажання продавати страхові поліси особам у віці до 18 та після 35 років, намагання страхових компаній обмежити лікування навіть у рамках встановлених лімітів, встановлення строків перебування хворого в стаціонарі тощо. Визначено стан запровадження обов’язкового медичного страхування у вітчизняну практику на початку 2022 р., а також проаналізовано останні тенденції, які відбуваються в даному напрямку. Розглянуто модель, на основі якої в майбутньому планується розгортати мережу обов’язкового страхування. Систематизовано проблеми запровадження добровільного та загальнообов’язкового медичного страхування в Україні. Визначено заходи, які повинні виконуватись для вирішення заявлених проблем.
