Exploring Graduates’ Attitudes on the Learning Environment and Institutional Development: A Case Study Based on Mixed Method
Authors: Mainali Hari Lal , Kumar Promod
Published: December 2024

In the field of psychology, an attitude is commonly understood as a set of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses directed toward a specific object or situation. Guided by the fundamental principles of functional theory, this study aimed to explore graduates’ perceptions of their institution’s learning environment (LE) and institutional development (ID). The primary objective of this study was to assess graduates’ views on these two aspects. To achieve the objective, the study employed an exploratory and descriptive research design. A case study approach was utilized for qualitative data collection and subsequently analyzed thematically. For the quantitative aspect, statistical techniques such as cross-tabulations and chi-square tests were applied. The research was conducted using a convergent parallel model, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings revealed that graduates held generally unfavorable attitudes toward certain aspects of the learning environment, including library services, internship and placement opportunities, and teaching pedagogies. Notably, graduates from the BA program expressed more negative attitudes compared to those from other programs. Based on their feedback, graduates recommended that institutions should implement ICT-based teaching and learning activities, reduce external interference in educational processes, and invest in the capacity development of faculty members. Additionally, they suggested that the institution should provide ICT equipment to foster a technology-friendly environment, enhance library services by acquiring more books, and offer training in banking, insurance, and cooperative sectors to benefit students. The study’s conclusions provide valuable insights into graduates’ attitudes toward the learning environment and institutional development, providing clearer guidance for the management committee and administration of the CJMC. Furthermore, the findings offer important context for understanding the graduates’ suggestions and willingness to support institutional improvements.
Macroeconomic Effects of Fiscal Deficits on GDP Per Capita of Nepalese Economy
Authors: Jaishi Manoj
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the macroeconomic effects of fiscal deficit on Nepalese’s GDP per Capita for 2001/02 to 2022/23 while considering inflation rate, interest rate, final consumption expenditure, and gross fixed capital formation as a control variable. The time series analysis was done by collecting data from secondary sources. The ARDL model was employed for the co-integration test; the Granger causality test was performed to check the direct and indirect relationship of the fiscal deficit with the GDP per Capita. The finding reveals that, in the long run, fiscal deficit and GDP per Capita have a positive relationship. Specifically, a 1% increase in the fiscal deficit increases GDP per Capita by $116.57; however, the relationship is statistically insignificant in the short run. The Granger causality test shows that fiscal deficit affects the GDP per Capita directly and through the transmission mechanism. This relationship suggests the role of government in the Nepalese economy, aligning with the Keynes approach. The findings of this research have important implications for the budget formulation process, coordination of fiscal and monetary policy, and further investigation in fiscal management.

Post-Positivism and Its Application in Health Research
Authors: Mahato Pradeep Kumar
Published: December 2024

Post-positivism marks a significant shift in health research by recognizing the limitations of positivist approaches and embracing a more flexible, reflective and context-sensitive methodology. This approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of human health, influenced by various biological, psychological, social and environmental variables, which are beyond the scope of quantitative approaches alone. Post-positivism combines qualitative and quantitative methods, allowing scholars to probe the effects of health interventions, their occurrences and social contexts. The objective of this research is to explore the philosophical foundations of Post-positivism and its paradigms within health education research. This research methodology involves an extensive literature review of peer-reviewed academic articles and books to analyze the post-positivism paradigm within health education research, exploring its principles, applications and implications. The shift to post-positivism in health research has allowed for a more accurate and nuanced understanding of health issues by incorporating critical realism and reflexivity, helping minimize researcher bias. The integration of mixed-methods research and triangulation have strengthened the validity of studies, especially when the researcher examine the people experiences and the influence of social factors. Post positivism has reshaped health research by blending qualitative and quantitative methods and promoting reflexivity and ethical practices. This approach provides richer insights and more comprehensive and effective solutions that cater to both individuals and broader community needs.

Authors: Bhattrai Samjhana Wagle , Acharya Chiranjivi
Published: December 2024

This article examines the issue of child marriage within the Chepang community of Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality in Chitawan. The research employed primary and secondary data, applying quantitative and qualitative analytical methods. The legal framework in Nepal prohibits marriage for individuals under the age of 20. However, a significant majority, exceeding 90 per cent, of the surveyed individuals were found to have entered into marriage before reaching this age limit. Key contributors to child marriage identified in the study include poverty, insufficient awareness, and the influence of older individuals. The occurrence of child marriage presents considerable risks during the adolescent years, a time when individuals often become increasingly curious about sexual health and relationships. Therefore, awareness campaigns should focus primarily on this demographic. To effectively address the challenge of child marriage, it is vital to emphasize educational and awareness programs. Furthermore, the strict enforcement of existing laws is essential in the pursuit of eliminating child marriage.

Authors: Kandel Madan
Published: December 2024

This study examines the impact of compensation, career opportunities, and organizational prestige on employee retention within Nepalese commercial banks. High turnover rates in these banks disrupt operations and increase costs, necessitating effective retention strategies. Using a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 226 employees from Prime Bank and Global IME Bank in the Kathmandu Valley. Results reveal that competitive compensation is crucial for retaining lower-level employees, career opportunities are essential for those with higher education, and organizational prestige significantly influences new hires. The study highlights the need for banks to address these factors to improve retention rates and organizational performance. Limitations include the focus on two banks and potential biases from convenience sampling. Future research should broaden the scope to include more banks and explore additional variables affecting retention.

Various social, economic, and academic factors significantly contribute to students' dropout rates at the bachelor's level, affecting their educational attainment and posing challenges to higher education systems. This collaborative mini-research aimed to investigate the status of students' dropout rate in bachelor's level at Solukhumbu Multiple Campus and to explore the influencing factors for students' dropout. The researchers employed a mixed-method approach with a survey design, utilizing a pre-formulated questionnaire containing both open and closed-ended questions. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources. The sample consisted of 56 dropout students from Solukhumbu Multiple Campus, selected using census sampling from three faculties (B.Ed., BBS, and B.A.) across admission year 2075 and exam years 2076-2079. This study identifies pronounced gender-based disparities in factors influencing student dropout rates. Female respondents expressed significantly higher dissatisfaction with the examination system, citing marriage and child rearing as major impediments to academic progress. They were more likely to attribute low examination performance and inadequate family support to their dropout decisions, emphasizing the critical roles of timely exam scheduling and parental awareness. In contrast, males were less concerned with these issues, instead highlighting employment opportunities and entrepreneurial ventures as pivotal factors in their decision to discontinue studies. These findings highlight the importance of implementing gender-sensitive strategies to improve student retention.

Published: December 2024

Su tüketimiyle sektörlerin gerçekleştirdiği faaliyetler arasında bir bağlantı kurulması mümkündür. Sektörel açıdan suyun etkin ve verimli kullanımı ile bir taraftan sürdürülebilir kalkınma sağlanırken, öte taraftan su kaynaklarının korunması da mümkün hale gelmektedir. Tarım sektörü, suyun en yoğun kullanıldığı alandır ki; suyun etkin ve verimli kullanımı, tarım sektöründe verimlilik ve üretimin artması açısından son derece önemlidir. Ayrıca sanayi üretim süreçleri genellikle su tüketimini gerekli kılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla sanayi katma değerindeki artış, üretim faaliyetlerini genişleterek daha fazla su kullanımına neden olabilmektedir. Turizm talebindeki artış ise konaklama, yeme-içme gibi çeşitli turistik faaliyetlere yoğunluk katarak su tüketimini artırabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; İtalya, İspanya, Türkiye, Almanya, Hollanda ve Romanya” olmak üzere seçilen en çok turist çeken ülkeler için su tüketimi ve tarım, sanayi, turizm sektörleri ilişkisini 2000-2019 dönemine ait yıllık veriler üzerinden panel nedensellik analizi ile incelemektir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, tarımsal katma değerin gayri safi yurt içi hâsıla (GSYH)’deki payı ile su tüketimi arasında tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra sanayi katma değerin (GSYH)’deki payı ile su tüketimi arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur. Turizm talebi ile su tüketimi arasında tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, özellikle su kaynaklarının sürdürülebilirliği ve gelecek kuşaklara aktarımı adına su tüketiminin sektörlere göre dengelenmesi ve yönetimi konusunda çeşitli politikaların geliştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu noktada verilebilecek en önemli politika önerisi ise akıllı tarım, sanayi ve turizm teknolojileri ile su tüketiminin kontrol altına alınabileceğidir.

Published: December 2024

: In this study, the impact of changes in the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths, as well as government restrictions taken to reduce the transmission rate of the pandemic, on the CDS premiums of BRICS-T countries, which are risk indicators, was examined. The data for the study includes the number of deaths and cases as COVID-19 announcements, the stringency index calculated by the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) for government restrictions, and the CDS premium prices for Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and Turkey. The study conducted Kao and Pedroni cointegration tests, Dumitrescu Hurlin and Granger causality analyses, and static panel data analysis. According to the analysis results, the cointegration tests indicate a long-term relationship. Both causality test results show a causal relationship from government restrictions to country CDS premiums, while no relationship could be determined from the number of cases and deaths. The static panel analysis results indicate that only government restrictions have a positive and significant effect on CDS premiums. In conclusion, the study shows that the increase in restrictions, along with the pressure of government restrictions on the economic system, also increases the risk of emerging and developing countries.

Published: December 2024

Comprehensive petrological, geochemical and mineralogical studies of osumilite-bearing andesite-dacitic lavas of the volcano Kordieritoviy (Keli Highland, Greater Caucasus), erupted at the end of the Pleistocene (about 200 Ka), were carried out. The results of petrographic study of thin sections and microprobe analysis showed that the rocks contain three paragenetic mineral associations: (1) “xenogenic” (metamorphogenic) – garnet (XPrp = 0.42, XAlm = 0.51–0.53, XGrs = 0.04–0.05) + hercynite + sapphire + bronzite + pargasite + ilmenite; (2) early magmatic – hypersthene + hercynite + garnet (XPrp = 0.21–0.31, XAlm = 0.52–0.71, XGrs = 0.04–0.13) + ferro-kersutite + ilmenite; (3) late magmatic – hypersthene-ferrohypersthene + labradorite + garnet (XPrp = 0.04–0.14, XAlm = 0.65–0.81, XGrs = 0.06–0.18) + osumilite-(Mg) + phlogopite + tridymite + ilmenite + apatite. Osumilite-(Mg) (phenocrysts, xenomorphic aggregates in the rock matrix and crystals in miarolic cavities), the average formula of which for dacites of the Kordieritoviy volcano can be written as (K0.73Na0.06Ca0.02□0.20)1.00(Mg1.06Fe2+0.90Mn0.04)2.00(Al2.75Fe2+0.18Fe3+0.06Ti0.01)3.00(Si10.34Al1.66)12O30, formed mainly at late magmatic stages – in intermediate chambers immediately before the rise of the melt to the surface or after its eruption. Accordingly, this mineral in the studied lavas has purely magmatic origin. Thermobarometric calculations and petrological modeling showed that the deep magma chamber of the Kordieritoviy volcano was located at a level of 45–53 km from the surface in near the Moho boundary. The temperature of the melt at the early magmatic stage was no less than 1100°C at 17–23 kbar. Crystallization of osumilite-(Mg) in intermediate magmatic chambers (at depths of 30–40 km) and during the process of lava outpouring occurred at 1030–870°C and pressure progressively decreasing from 14–9 to 1 kbar. A petrogenetic model has been proposed to explain the reasons for the formation of exotic osumilite-containing lavas of the Kordieritoviy volcano. Its main provisions include: (1) enriched upper mantle source (lithospheric mantle metasomatized as a result of permanent interaction at the Moho boundary with the overlying lower crust composed of metamorphosed terrigenous-volcanogenic formations); (2) generation of “dry” basaltic magmas in the source; (3) crystallization differentiation in the source (fractionation of olivine and chrome spinels) with the formation of a “dry” superheated andesitic melt; (4) limited-scale assimilation by highly differentiated andesitic melts rising to the surface of the material of the lower crust, directly below the volcano, composed of leucocratic granulites, with simultaneous fractionation of garnet, orthopyroxene and ilmenite from the melt.

The research focuses on the simulation and analysis of injection molding of electrical components that can be carried out by the manufacturing process. The design of the electrical components has been made so it is necessary to follow up on the design for an injection molding simulation. The injection parameters including injection pressure, clamp open time, mold temperature, and melt temperature are fixed, but if the results are less than optimal then changes to the fixed parameters can be made. Changes to the cavity layout and gating system are varied to find out how much influence it has on product results and to find the most optimal results from the simulations that have been done. In the simulation results section, if there is a short-shot defect, the result cannot be taken into account in the simulation results for analysis. The most optimal injection simulation results from inbow electrical terminal components with automatic timer modules made by design molds.

Horizontal axis wind turbines will generate voltage if the turbine rotates due to wind gusts. The bigger the wind blows, the faster the turbine spins and the greater the voltage generated. The braking system is needed for wind turbine protection when it receives very large wind speeds. This system is built using PID control based on microcontroller with reference to the output voltage. There are 2 units resistor designed as voltage sensors to the wind turbine output voltage. In testing, the wind turbine is rotated using artificial wind which is generated through a blower measuring 1.3 x 1.3 x 0.3 m, with a maximum wind speed is 11 m/s. The sistem uses PID kontrol which is used to brake wind turbine rotation and regulate its output voltage. Determination of constant parameters for proportional constant (Kp), integral constant (Ki), and Derivative constant (Kd) were obtained for Kp = 0.139, Ki = 0.715, and Kd = 0.006 respectively. The output voltage of the wind turbine can reach 60 volts and then controlled up to 24 volts according to the battery voltage requirements. In the test results, the control system managed to regulate the wind turbine voltage at 24 volts with a steady state error of 6.62%

Published: December 2024

Keripik tempe merupakan produk turunan dari kacang kedelai yang kaya akan gizi dan banyak manfaat untuk dikonsumsi. Permasalahan yang dihadapi produsen keripik tempe sebagian besar proses pembuatannya masih menggunakan metode manual. Salah satu proses yang masih menggunakan metode manual yaitu proses pengupasan kacang kedelai dimana biji kedelai dipisahkan dari kulit arinya. Proses ini biasanya dilakukan oleh karyawan menggunakan tangan dan sendok. Proses pengupasan dilakukan pada saat kedelai masih hangat  setelah kedelai direbus. Proses ini sangat penting karena jika kulit ari tidak dibersihkan maka akan mempengaruhi kualitas keripik tempe yang dihasilkan, keripik tempe akan memiliki rasa asam dan mudah basi. Solusi yang diberikan yaitu dengan membuat mesin pengupas kulit ari kedelai single roll. Mesin pengupas kulit ari kedelai single roll digerakan oleh motor listrik 1 phase 0,5 Hp, 1400rpm. Putaran motor listrik tersebut diturunkan menjadi 280 rpm yang menggerakan roll stanless steel bergelombang. Putaran roll menggilas kedelai yang turun dari hopper input, kemudian dibagian depan roll terdapat pemisah kulit ari dan kedelai yang sudah terkupas. Kulit ari akan turun ke bawah hopper kulit sedangkan kedelai terkupas akan keluar menuju hopper output. Kapasitas mesin pemisah kulit ari kedelai mampu mengupas 1 kg kedelai per satu menit. Semua kedelai terkupas 100% dengan 65% kulit terpisah ke bagian hopper kulit, kemudian masih terdapat 35% kulit yang terbawa ke hopper output bersama kedelai yang terkupas.

We utilize a hybrid approach that integrates the traditional cross-correlation function (CCF) and machine learning to detect spectroscopic multi-systems, specifically focusing on double-line spectroscopic binary (SB2). Based on the ninth data release (DR9) of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), which includes a medium-resolution survey (MRS) containing 29,920,588 spectra, we identify 27,164 double-line and 3124 triple-line spectra, corresponding to 7096 SB2 candidates and 1903 triple-line spectroscopic binary (SB3) candidates, respectively, representing about 1% of the selection dataset from LAMOST-MRS DR9. Notably, 70.1% of the SB2 candidates and 89.6% of the SB3 candidates are newly identified. Compared to using only the traditional CCF technique, our method significantly improves the efficiency of detecting SB2, saves time on visual inspections by a factor of four.

Authors: Christodoulou-Volos Christos
Published: December 2024

This study empirically investigates the determinants of non-performing loans (NPLs) within the Cypriot banking sector by employing Pearson’s correlation analysis and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimations. Utilizing a sample of 200 NPLs granted to individuals by a Cypriot banking institution from 2013 to 2019, the study examines both macroeconomic and borrower-specific factors influencing NPLs. The findings reveal significant associations between borrower profile characteristics - such as gender, age, education level, professional and financial standing, and place of residence - and loan-specific details, including loan purpose, type of collateral, and NPL status and rescheduling. The study also identifies that lower economic growth, higher inflation, and higher interest rates correlate with an increase in NPLs. Moreover, borrower-specific variables like return on assets and loan growth significantly affect NPL levels. These results offer valuable insights into management in taking corrective actions and have important policy implications for regulatory authorities in formulating effective economic policies. Additionally, the study guides potential investors by highlighting key risk factors associated with NPLs in Cyprus.
