Multidimensional Framing of Environments Beyond Blocks and Texts in K–12 Programming
Authors: Ezeamuzie Ndudi Okechukwu , Ezeamuzie Mercy Noyenim
Published: January 2024

Computer programming provides a framework for interdisciplinary learning in sciences, arts and languages. However, increasing integration of programming in K–12 shows that the block-based and text-based dichotomy of programming environments does not reflect the spectrum of their affordance. Hence, educators are confronted with a fundamental hurdle of matching programming environments with learners’ cognitive abilities and learning objectives. This study addresses this challenge by analyzing 111 articles evaluating the affordances of programming environments to identify both structural and theoretical models to support educators’ choice of programming environments. The following dimensions of programming environments were identified: connectivity mode, interface natural language, language inheritance, age appropriateness, cost of environment, output interface, input interface, and project types. For each of these dimensions, the synthesis of the literature ranged from examining its nature and effect on learning programming to the implications of choosing an environment and the critical gaps that future studies should address. The findings offer instructors useful parameters to compare and assess programming environments’ suitability and alignment with learning objectives.

Published: January 2024

El presente artículo propone explorar las experiencias sociales de la juventud obrera a partir del caso del mundo del trabajo ferroviario en la Argentina de las primeras décadas del siglo XX. El texto busca conocer los puestos laborales en los que muchachos y muchachas se iniciaban, sus condiciones de trabajo, los vínculos y relaciones entabladas con el resto del personal, así como sus prácticas y espacios de sociabilidad. En particular, entiende que la dimensión de género constituye una perspectiva clave para estudiar y comprender sus experiencias y que, en un mundo laboral compuesto mayoritariamente por varones, el espacio de trabajo fue primordial en la construcción de roles, ideas y prerrogativas en torno a la masculinidad. A partir de ello, espera contribuir al conocimiento de las experiencias de la juventud obrera, un sector poco explorado y apenas problematizado por la historiografía sobre la clase trabajadora.

Muhibbî Divanı’nda Halk İnanışları
Authors: YILDIRIM Oğuz
Published: January 2024

İnanç ve inanış; kişi ya da toplum tarafından bir düşüncenin, olgunun veya varlığın gerçek oluşunun kabul görmesidir. İnanç kavramı kişinin düşüncesinin çok geniş bir kısmını kapsamaktadır. Halk inanışları ise, eski dinî öğretilerden aktarılmış olan resmî dinî inançların türlü sebeplerle geniş kitleler arasında varyantlaşarak aldığı yeni yorum ve inanış tarzları olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bir toplumu bir arada tutmaya yarayan, zamanın asimile etme gücüne direnen şey şüphesiz olarak o toplumun inanışlarıdır. Bir toplumu tanımanın en doğru yolu da kıymet verdiği değerleri bilmekten geçmektedir. Halk inanışları, halk arasında yaygın olarak kabul gören birtakım inanış ve çeşitli pratiklere karşılık gelmektedir. Bu inanışlar ve ritüeller nesilden nesile aktarılıp adeta bir köprü görevi üstlenerek varlığını devam ettirmiştir. Halk inanışları, dinî inançlardan farklı olmakla birlikte pek çok dinî uygulamayı da içine almaktadır. Halk inanışları pek çok beşeri ve sosyal bilimin araştırma sahasına girmektedir. Bu disiplinlerden biri de divan edebiyatıdır. Yaşamın her safhasını içine alan bu gelenek, temelinde dinî öğretileri ve çeşitli inanışları barındırmaktadır. Bu bakımdan divan şairleri de yaşadıkları toplumun sosyo-kültürel değerlerini şiirlerinde başarıyla kullanmışlardır. Çalışmamızda 16. yüzyıl sultan şairlerinden olan Muhibbî’nin divanında yer alan çeşitli halk inanışlarını gün yüzüne çıkarmaya çalışacağız.
Investigating best algorithms for structural topology optimization
Authors: ABDULKERİM Sohayb
Published: January 2024

This study investigates the topology optimization problem using various optimization approaches, taking inspiration from the 99-line MATLAB code developed by Sigmund. The educational MATLAB code is based on the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) model of the artificial material density method. The objective is to minimize the compliance function with a weight constraint, with the design variables being the densities of all elements. The aim is to identify a more efficient optimization technique as an alternative to the commonly used optimality criteria algorithm provided by other MATLAB built-in tools. Two types of optimization algorithms are examined: gradient-based methods such as Interior-Point, Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP), and Active-Set, as well as metaheuristic methods including the Genetic Algorithm. The results are verified and validated by comparing them with existing literature, demonstrating good agreement. Performance assessments are conducted to compare the results obtained from these algorithms in terms of quality and computational efficiency. The numerical findings indicate that the interior-point method outperforms the other investigated methods, although the optimality criteria algorithm remains the most efficient for solving topology optimization problems.
Revisiting Quantum Behavior and Exploring Ambiguities: Experimental Investigation for Validation and Critical Examination of the Double-Slit Experiment with Lithium Niobate Detectors and Its Implications on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Authors: Padhi Anshuman , Mohapatra Amman
Published: January 2024

This research challenges the conventional interpretation of the renowned double-slit experiment by experimentally scrutinizing and incorporating an innovative approach of using Lithium Niobate as a detector. If successful, the outcomes could disrupt existing theories and inspire new interpretations. The potential ramifications extend to ground- breaking revolutions in quantum understanding, technological applications, and the contribution to the field of physics, potentially transforming our understanding of quantum mechanics and its foundational principles. The experiment seeks to provide experimental evidence regarding the behavior of quantum particles in the presence of detectors at the slits, addressing a longstanding loophole in quantum mechanics. By examining whether the interference patterns persists when particle paths are measured, the study aims to redefine the Complementarity Principle and offer new insights into wave-particle duality as well as the observer effect. This paper not only addresses a major loophole in quantum mechanics but also holds the promise of shaping the future landscape of quantum exploration and understanding.
The Tweedledum and Tweedledee of dynamic decisions: Discriminating between diffusion decision and accumulator models
Authors: Kvam Peter D.
Published: January 2024

Theories of dynamic decision-making are typically built on evidence accumulation, which is modeled using racing accumulators or diffusion models that track a shifting balance of support over time. However, these two types of models are only two special cases of a more general evidence accumulation process where options correspond to directions in an accumulation space. Using this generalized evidence accumulation approach as a starting point, I identify four ways to discriminate between absolute-evidence and relative-evidence models. First, an experimenter can look at the information that decision-makers considered to identify whether there is a filtering of near-zero evidence samples, which is characteristic of a relative-evidence decision rule (e.g., diffusion decision model). Second, an experimenter can disentangle different components of drift rates by manipulating the discriminability of the two response options relative to the stimulus to delineate the balance of evidence from the total amount of evidence. Third, a modeler can use machine learning to classify a set of data according to its generative model. Finally, machine learning can also be used to directly estimate the geometric relationships between choice options. I illustrate these different approaches by applying them to data from an orientation-discrimination task, showing converging conclusions across all four methods in favor of accumulator-based representations of evidence during choice. These tools can clearly delineate absolute-evidence and relative-evidence models, and should be useful for comparing many other types of decision theories.
Universal and cultural factors shape body part vocabularies
Authors: Tjuka Annika , Forkel Robert , List Johann-Mattis
Published: January 2024

Every human has a body. Yet, languages differ in how they divide the body into parts to name them. While universal naming strategies exist, there is also variation in the vocabularies of body parts across languages. In this study, we investigate the similarities and differences in naming two separate body parts with one word, i.e., colexifications. We use a computational approach to create networks of body part vocabularies across languages. The analyses focus on body part networks in large language families, on perceptual features that lead to colexifications of body parts, and on a comparison of network structures in different semantic domains. Our results show that adjacent body parts are colexified frequently. However, preferences for perceptual features such as shape and function lead to variations in body part vocabularies. In addition, body part colexification networks are less varied across language families than networks in the semantic domains of emotion and colour. The study presents the first large-scale comparison of body part vocabularies in 1,028 language varieties and provides important insights into the variability of a universal human domain.
“Sentio Ergo Est”: Unmasking the Emotional Realities of Misperception

Published: January 2024

Signal detection theory (SDT) is a multi-component ratio method for assessing perceptual performance. It can be applied in backward masking, such as the presentation of a brief target image followed by a noise image that can render a target imperceptible. Previously, we implemented a methodology for backward masking that included individualized thresholds to achieve unconscious presentations and involved dedicated SDT-component analyses. We showed that a specific SDT-component, namely, false positives, such as erroneously reporting that an arousing facial stimulus was presented, involved increases in physiological and emotional responses. In this manuscript, we explored this effect outside our individual-thresholds paradigm. For the first time in relevant research, we recruited participants using trial-contour power calculations for false positive responses. We presented emotional faces for 16.67 ms masked with noise images for 116.67 ms. We showed that false-positive responses for emotional faces were characterised by pre-trial arousal, and post-trial arousal increases, and high emotional and confidence ratings. These outcomes were most pronounced for the misperception of fearful faces. Based on these findings, we discussed the possibility of a mechanism for partial self-encapsulated emotional-experiential apperception. We emphasised the possibility of a fear primacy socio-emotional response module during combined visual ambiguity and high psychophysiological arousal.
The Impact of Demographic Factors on Information Communication Technology Use: A Case of Mathematics Teachers in Kathmandu District
Authors: Adhikari Ganesh Prasad
Published: January 2024

The use of information and communication technology (ICT) is an important issue for teaching learning activities due to global changes; however, the success of this use depends on the readiness of the teachers. This study investigated the effect of demographic variables on the use of ICT among secondary-level mathematics teachers in the Kathmandu district. This study describes a research hypothesis testing the absence of statistically significant differences in ICT use based on demographic variables such as gender, age, marital status, teaching experience, educational level, job position, and school location. For quantitative research, an online survey design was used. The data were collected through a validated online survey questionnaire, which consisted of seven demographic variables and seven items on the use of ICT. The online survey questionnaire was administered to 287 subjects. The response of mathematics teachers was only 59.23%. The response data was downloaded into Excel and cleaned. Frequency, percentage, independent sample t-tests, and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the cleaned data using the JAMOVI software. The results revealed no statistically significant differences in ICT use across demographic variables. Specifically, gender, marital status, age groups, teaching experience, educational level, job positions, and school locations did not significantly affect the use of ICT among secondary-level mathematics teachers. The small effect sizes limited practical significance, despite the absence of statistical significance. The findings provide valuable insights into the relationship between demographic factors and ICT integration in education. Further research should validate these results in diverse educational contexts in Nepal.
Digital Retail Trends: Analyzing Online Shopping Behaviour among College Level - Students in Nepal
Authors: Manandhar Raju Bhai , Chalise Mahananda
Published: January 2024

Background: Online shopping is a pivotal component of electronic commerce, allowing consumers to purchase products or services directly from sellers over the Internet. It typically involves using a web browser to access digital storefronts hosted by retailers. Its significance continues to grow as technology evolves and consumer preferences adapt to the digital age.
Objective: The main objective of this study is to examine the effect of price, convenience, and security on the online shopping behaviour of college-level students in Kathmandu. Valley.
Design/methodology/Approach: The study employed an analytical research design and targeted college-level students from the different colleges of the Kathmandu Valley involving online shopping. We selected 400 respondents using a convenience sampling technique. Primary data has been collected by adopting a well-structured questionnaire mainly containing a five-point Likert scale. We applied correlation and regression approaches to analyze and interpret the data to obtain the outputs of the study.
Findings: The study reveals an association between price, convenience, and security with online shopping behaviour. The result also showed that online shopping behaviour is significantly influenced by two main factors, namely convenience and price. Nevertheless, security is a relatively insignificant determinant of online shopping behaviour. However, gender does not affect all the variables.
Conclusion: In summary, for college students, online shopping behaviour is significantly influenced by price and convenience, with security playing a minor role. Online shopping companies should focus on user-friendly website design and stable pricing to attract and retain customers. A well-designed marketing mix aligned with customer expectations is crucial for effective online business. Government support for network infrastructure and online business policies is also essential.
Keywords: Online shopping behaviour, price, convenience, security, and students
Empirical Relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth: Evidence from Nepal
Authors: Acharya Yatish
Published: January 2024

Background: Foreign direct investment (FDI) is vital for developing countries like Nepal to access foreign capital, drive economic growth through technology transfer, open new investment and research opportunities, and harness their abundant natural resources. With Nepal experiencing a capital shortage, FDI plays a crucial role in bridging the resource gap and stimulating economic activities in the country.

Objective: The study examines the relationship between FDI and economic growth, gross domestic savings (GDS), trade openness, as well as the impact of policy (liberalisation) and security variables in Nepal.

Methods: The study employs data from secondary sources, such as the Nepal Rastra Bank, the Ministry of Finance, and the Central Bureau of Statistics, along with a database on the Nepalese economy from 1996 to 2019. The study utilises the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model for the evaluation and interpretation of the results.

Results: The findings of this study demonstrate a positive and statistically significant relationship between Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP), Real Gross Domestic Saving (RGDS), and Trade Openness (Xm) with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflow in Nepal in the long run. Likewise, the Liberalization Policy positively affects FDI, although it lacks statistical significance. However, the presence of poor security conditions during the civil war exerts an adverse impact on FDI inflow.

Conclusion: The empirical analysis provides compelling statistical evidence supporting the claim that Trade openness and RGDP positively impact FDI in the long run. It signifies the potential of FDI as a significant resource capable of contributing to economic growth, with trade openness facilitating the inflow of FDI in the economy. Furthermore, Gross Domestic Saving appears to be a significant determinant of FDI, as it fosters capital formation within the economy, ultimately promoting increased  FDI inflows. Likewise, the success of FDI attraction in Nepal is contingent upon effective Liberalisation and Privatisation policies alongside a stable political environment, which collectively play pivotal roles in facilitating and sustaining FDI inflows.

Implications:  The study suggests that policymakers should focus on the timely reformation of economic policies and should pay close attention to providing security and ensuring an investment-friendly environment. The government should encourage increased savings through the better facilities of financial institutions and promote international trade and infrastructure development.

Keywords: FDI, Gross Domestic Savings, Economic Growth, Trade Openness, ARDL

Does Temptation Associate with Unethical Intention? A Mediating Role of Monetary Intelligence: Evidence from MBA Students in Nepal
Authors: Dabadi Bhanu , Pokhrel Laxman
Published: January 2024

Purpose- The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of Monetary Intelligence (MI) between Temptation (TEM) and Unethical Intention (UI) among MBA students in Nepalese Business Schools.

Design/ Methodology/ approach- The research applied a cross-sectional survey research design to collect data from 341 MBA students in Nepali Business Schools. The purposive sampling method was used to reach the respondents. The Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to test the stated hypotheses.

Finding- The study revealed that TEM has a significant influence on UI. However, MI and TEM do not significantly influence UI. Likewise, the specific indirect effects and total effects are not significant. Therefore, the results of the mediational analysis illustrated no effect (no mediation) results.

Practical implications- This study focuses on understanding the significance of MI in relation to TEM to trigger UI among MBA students at Nepali Business Schools. This paper paves the path for undertaking complex higher-order constructs in the existing PLS-SEM literature. Likewise, human resource managers could develop their recruitment, training, and performance appraisal mechanism based on understanding the temptation of prospective employees and their possibility of engaging in unethical behaviours.

Originality- This paper has investigated Temptation (reflective-formative), Monetary Intelligence (reflective-formative), and Unethical Intention (reflective-reflective) to explain the mediational mechanism of MI with TEM and UI. The present study is among the earliest studies to examine unethical intention in the Nepali context.

Keywords: Monetary intelligence, formative construct, reflective construct, temptation, unethical intention

The Impact of Workforce Diversity Management on Organizational Performance: A Study in Nepalese Hospitality Sector
Authors: Rijal Rheet
Published: January 2024

Background: The 1960s and 1970s in the United States marked a pivotal era in recognising the importance of workplace diversity and equal opportunities, leading to the establishment of the President's Committee on Equal Employment and the enactment of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This historical backdrop has evolved into a contemporary emphasis on diverse dimensions, such as demographic, cultural, and cognitive aspects, underscoring its critical role in improving organisational performance—an insight extended to the study's focus on Nepal's hospitality sector.
Objectives: This research aims to investigate the impacts of workplace diversity on organisational performance with the mediating role of inclusion and employee engagement solely.
Methods: The study followed a positivist research paradigm, deductive reasoning, a causal-comparative research method, and snowball sampling techniques for its procedural operations. The study's target populations were the staff employed in hospitality sectors in Nepal. The study incorporated 439 as a sample size. The structured survey questionnaire was used to collect the primary data. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics like percentages, frequency, and structural equation modelling. In order to analyse the data, SPSS 20 and AMOS 22 were used.
Results: The study supports hypotheses related to the positive influence of workforce diversity on employee inclusion, the positive effects of employee inclusion and engagement on organisational performance, and the partial mediation role of both employee inclusion and engagement in the relationship between workforce diversity and organisational performance. However, the study rejects hypotheses suggesting a direct impact of workforce diversity on employee engagement and organisational performance in the Nepalese hospitality sector.
Conclusions: The crucial role of fostering employee inclusion positively impacts loyalty and effort. While workforce diversity may not directly impact organisational performance, focusing on inclusion can lead to better outcomes. Organisations are urged to prioritise creating inclusive environments for enhanced employee commitment and to better align with the needs of a diverse customer base.
Implications: This research benefits human resource (HR) managers and businesses as it furnishes information that can be utilised to enhance legislative frameworks and establish measures for monitoring employee diversity policies. The findings of this study also aid established and emerging businesses in determining crucial considerations related to staff diversity. Employees currently employed will benefit from this research as it sheds light on the significance of staff diversity in terms of organisational success and growth.

Economic Growth, Public Expenditure, and Infrastructure on Provincial Financial Development of Nepal
Authors: Gajurel Ram Prasad
Published: January 2024

Purpose: Financial development is inevitable to finance the domestic resources in the development of Nepal at the provincial level. This paper intends to evaluate the nexus of financial development at the provincial level with economic growth, public expenditure, and infrastructure.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The targeted variables––financial development is a proxy by branches of banks and financial institutions and other regressors––economic growth (a proxy by annual growth in gross domestic product), public expenditure (proxied by current and capital expenditure), infrastructure (proxied by road networks, number of schools, electricity production) are considered throughout 2019 to 2023 across the seven provinces of Nepal. A fixed effect panel data model (FEM) is taken to estimate the intended outcome. To check the heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation, and cross-sectional dependency (CD), the CD test and Panel-Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE) are regressions that are also performed. 
Findings: The stylised facts, as a whole, indicate that the growth nexus has had a negative impact. However, infrastructure exerts a more significant influence on the financial development of Nepal's provinces. Additionally, combined public spending that is neither capital nor current has helped advance financial development in the provinces.
Value/Originality: The results of the study highlight the necessity of prioritising infrastructure improvements and effective combined public spending to support financial development in Nepal's provinces. It offers unique insights not previously explored in Nepalese academia. Updated and relevant data are collected and applied to the different channels to evaluate the nexus of financial development at the province level of Nepal.
Recommendation: Policymakers should give due consideration to the effective mobilisation of fiscal resources with proper fiscal discipline in every aspect. Moreover, enhancing the allocation of development finance has the potential to stimulate financial development across all areas herein examined.

TAHLÌL FATWÀ AL TASHABBUH BIGHAIRI AL MUSLIMÌN FÌ AL IHTIFÀL BIRA'SI AL SANAH AL MÌLÀDIYAH FÌ JAZÌRAH MADURA 'INDA AL IMÀM 'ALI JUM'AH
Authors: Nuruddien Muhammad Nuruddien , Mahmoud Ismaeil Mohamed Mashal
Published: January 2024

A fatwa is a matter of great significance in Islam. The issuer of a fatwa represents the role of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in continuing his prophetic mission by providing explanations in accordance with the will of God. Therefore, issuing a fatwa is not an easy task, and it is not appropriate for everyone to assume the ability to issue fatwas without undergoing a thorough thought process.
It is not permissible for someone to issue a fatwa to the general public unless they possess expertise in the fields of Islamic sciences and have a strong command of fiqh (jurisprudence) and usul al-fiqh (principles of jurisprudence), along with the appropriate methods and objectives (maqasid). This raises the question of how to formulate a method for issuing fatwas from the perspective of Imam Ali Gomaa and why scholars pay great attention to the formation of fatwa methods
This research falls under normative research using the literature method, which involves reviewing texts from classical and contemporary fiqh books, as well as fatwa rulings. The findings of this study indicate that the process of issuing a fatwa should go through four stages: al-tashwir (defining the issue), al-takyif (exploring the details), explaining the legal ruling, and making the final fatwa decision
The issuer of a fatwa must adhere firmly to the fatwa method, which includes understanding the texts and the reality of society, and knowing how to connect the text with existing societal traditions. They should prioritize issuing fatwas that facilitate and bring joy to society, maintaining moderation and balance in their fatwas, and avoiding haste in addressing contemporary issues. Not all acts of resemblance (tashabbuh) with non-Muslims are considered forbidden (haram). There are acts of resemblance that are indeed judged to be outside the boundaries of Islam, while others are merely disliked (makruh), not recommended, forbidden (haram), permissible (mubah), or even commendable. The observance of the Gregorian New Year is permissible since it does not entail elements of resemblance (tashabbuh), provided that it is not accompanied by religiously prohibited behaviors. The permissibly of celebrating new year is in line with the condition of Madura teenagers. Although, the Madura scholars alliance (AUMA) forbids it because it is considered to resemblance (Tashabbuh) with non muslims.

The art of teke, which is a part of the Ngadha people's traditional cultural practices, is the material object of this investigation. The formal object concerns the axiology of women's ideology and its existence. What feminist philosophy is expressed in the teke cultural heritage is the central question of this cultural study. This study explores cultural codes based on traditional Ngada hermeneutics in order to analyze the data through qualitative research methods. The research findings offer a fresh perspective on the distinctiveness of the ine weta ideology, which is a set of beliefs about women specific to the matriarchal Ngadha cultural tradition. More than that, ine weta's ideology actually celebrates gender equality through the joy of dance, poetry, and song. This ideology in the art of teke hermeneutics is a variant of the familial ideology, which must be built and purified through teachings, actions, and celebrations in the light of mesu mora (‘charity love’) harmoniously, closely, roundly, and beautifully in the world of life. The conclusion of this writing is that the authors undertake a cultural study in order to contribute to the discussion of women’s equality by proposing one category of woman ideology found in the matriarchal culture of Ngada, namely, the ideology of ine weta (‘mother-sister’) as a variant of familial ideology uncovered in the art of teke.
