Published: November 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic poses significant challenges to the collaborative process between health workers. In handling a pandemic, every health professional must collaborate and coordinate with other professionals to produce safe and quality health services. Interprofessional collaboration is a general strategy to achieve the desired quality results effectively and efficiently in improving health services. This study aims to determine the implementation of nurse-doctor collaboration in inpatient rooms based on the perspective of inpatient nurses. This study used a descriptive research approach through a total sampling technique and as many as 151 inpatient nurses at dr. Soebandi Hospital participated as a respondent. Data was collected using a nurse characteristic questionnaire and NPCS (Nurse-Physician Collaboration Scale). Data were analyzed using descriptive methods and categorized as good and bad collaboration. The results showed that 51.7% of nurses had good interprofessional collaboration, and 48.3% reported bad interprofessional collaboration. The results showed that interprofessional collaboration between nurses and doctors showed almost the same results; nearly half of the nurses' perceptions showed results that still needed to be improved. There is a need to increase interprofessional collaboration in all hospital services. Even though the pandemic is a limitation for direct collaboration, collaboration is further enhanced by using supporting communication media, such as by telephone. Good collaboration between doctors and nurses will improve the quality of health services.

Published: November 2023

Covid-19 has affected our daily routines, particularly how we work, which is increasingly conducted virtually to avoid face-to-face interaction. The objective of this study is to provide insight on the challenges confronting project managers during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study is based on a review of the relevant literature and discusses the Covid-19 background, its influence, the Work from Home strategy, factors affecting the performance of virtual projects, and the construction sector's issues. The article then explores and outlines the obstacles confronting project managers during the Covid-19 pandemic. In conclusion, during Covid-19, project managers' responsibilities are increasing substantially. Due to the difficulty of the role of a project management from the start, project managers must be intellectually, emotionally, and physically prepared, especially throughout the pandemic phase, which has no end date. Additionally, they must immediately acquire new skills and information and prepare for the worst-case scenario, as this pandemic is unprecedented for anyone, and thus no one has the best guidelines to follow. Finally, project managers must be more creative in managing projects and entertaining all stakeholders to ensure that the projects continue to run smoothly and within the constraints.

This review covers the basics of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) techniques and its effect on the physical characterisation for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) application. SOFChave gotten a lot of attention in recent years as a future alternative energy generation technology because of their ability to utilise hydrocarbon fuels and high efficiency. On top of that, the characterisation of coating often affected by the variation of voltage (30V,50V,70Vand 100V). The higher the voltage (100V), the more deposition weight obtained. The thickness and morphology of the coating layer were determined by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).The duration of deposition (1.5 minutes to 3 minutes) also crucial as it can influence the thickness of the coating layer which in the range 11.90 μm to 29.30 μm. Therefore, this paper will benefit future works on SOFC application.

Vegetable oil had been studying to replace mineral-based oil as metalworking fluids (MWFs) as it is non-toxic, bio-degradable and environmentally friendly. Due to vegetable oil's high viscosity and poor thermal conductivity, some improvements had been applied to a vegetable oil such as chemically modified and the addition of additives. This study aims to evaluate the machining capability of modified jatropha oil (MJO) with nanoparticle additives of 0.025wt% copper oxide (CuO) (MJOc) and 0.025wt% hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) (MJOh) as metalworking fluids. Through the turning process, the machining performance of MJOc and MJOh was compared withcommercial synthetic ester (SE) in terms of cutting temperature, surface roughness, tool life, and tool wear. The results indicate that MJOc and MJOh outperformed SE in terms of machining performance. Compared to MJOc, MJOh has better machining performance in terms of cutting temperature and surface roughness. In addition, MJOh had the same tool life performance with SE which is at a cutting length of 6000mm and machining time of 42 minutes. In conclusion, the overall best machining performance is MJOh (MJO+0.025wt% hBN) and has the potential as sustainable MWFs in the lubricant market.

The goal of this study is to optimise the exhaust middle box muffler of an automobile by focusing on the design of the perforated pipes. Back pressure and pressure drop in the exhaust are two characteristics that contribute to the various effects of an internal combustion engine. In this study, the pressure distribution of an existing exhaust middle box muffler on the perforated pipe is evaluated using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software, and the suitable perforated pipe is identified to improve the middle box muffler performance. The simulation of fluid flow inside a passage of perforated pipe with the same diameter and length but different perforation diameters and distance between perforations was carried out in this study. The CFD analysis simulation results showed the flow pattern with pressure contours for each sample. The results also revealed that each sample had a different pressure drop. An optimised design of perforations inside the middle box muffler pipe results in less pressure drop, which improves exhaust system performance. The simulation results are plotted and a comparison of various perforation diameter and distance can be seen. Larger distance between perforations at 20 mm gives large discrepancies in the results which is 15% difference of pressure drop as compared to smaller distance between perforations that gives less than 1% difference of pressure drop for 6mm and 7mm diameter of perforated pipes. The results also shows that 5mm of perforation diameter gives even larger pressure drop as high as 44.66%.

A diffuser is commonly applied in fluid-flow engineering applications with its simplest form of expanding area in the flow direction. A curve diffuser is one of its kinds often associated with secondary flow separation, thus improvement via installing passive flow control devices such as a vortex generator is to explore. The present work aims to numerically investigate the potential of four (4) types of vortex generators, i.e. triangle, rectangle, tapered, wishbone to improve the 90° curve diffuser performance. The results suggest that using vortex generators on a curve diffuser can improve performance. Triangle vortex generator provides the most optimum pressure recovery and flow uniformity of respectively 0.250 and 2.14. This promises improvement of approximately 31.3% and 25.4% relative to the benchmark case, without vortex generator.

Thatch grass is a readily available ecosystem productthat plays a direct economic and utilitarian benefit to woman in households surrounding the protected areas of Zimbabwe. The study describes the institutional arrangement in place for the exploitation and lesson highlights of thatch grass in the protected areas of Matetsi Safari Area and Kazuma pan national park in North West Matebeleland region. The arrangement for thatch grass harvesting is that only the women (young and elderly) are allowed to apply for thatch grass harvesting in protected areas for defined period of time usually two weeks. We used park registers of thatch grass harvesters to determine the number of women involved, thatch grass bundles harvested and villages involved. At total of 15 744 bundles of thatch grass were harvested in the year 2022. The total bundles that the woman took home were 10 962 while 4 784 were retained by the park or concession holders. On average, an individual woman collected 27 to 125 bundles. Each individual woman direct income from thatch grass harvesting ranged from US$ 40 to US$187 per harvesting season. The key lesson in the thatch grass arrangement is that woman can successfully be mainstreamed directly to benefit from protected areas without experiencing negative effects associated with resource access in protected such as wildlife poaching which might occur when men are involved. Further, coordinated thatch grass harvesting has less conflict with the trophy hunting experience and activities in the hunting areas. While some challenges have been experienced in the national park component, the challenges are partly due to the perceived regulations, purpose of national parks and the somewhat negative attitude of stakeholders operating in the park to use of natural resource by local communities. In order for the thatch grass harvesting to remain sustainable and compatible with activities in the protected area there ought to be planning, coordination, monitoring of harvesting activities andongoing ecological monitoring of potential ecosystem impacts.

Published: November 2023

Explosive volcanic eruptions generate electrical discharges, a phenomenon termed volcanic lightning (VL). VL is increasingly well-investigated and monitored for modern eruptions, however volcanism has been active since Earth’s origin. Thus, investigating VL under different atmospheric conditions is relevant for studies of early atmospheric chemistry and potential prebiotic reactions. We developed an experimental setup to investigate VL in varying atmospheres. We present the first experiments of laboratory discharges in particle-laden jets in varying atmospheric conditions. The new experimental setup is a mobile fragmentation bomb erupting into a gas-tight particle collector tank. This setup enables the testing of different atmospheric conditions, changes in the carrier gas of the jet, changes in the pressure within the tank, monitoring of the jet behaviour, and sampling of the atmosphere together with the decompressed solid materials. We find that the number and magnitude of near-vent electrical discharge events are similar in CO2-CO and air atmospheres.

Published: November 2023

In patients with mine blast wounds, chronic pain is observed in an average of 83.3 % of cases, and it has been found that this is influenced by the number of anatomical body parts injured. For patients who sustained injuries in 1 or 2 anatomical body parts, the frequency of pain chronicity is 82.2 %, while in individuals who suffered injuries in ≥ 3 anatomical body parts, it is 91.7%.
Objective — to investigate the presence of a neuropathic component of pain in patients with mine blast wounds and its impact on the frequency of pain chronicity.
Materials and methods. The results of the treatment of 280 patients who suffered blast injuries during combat operations were analyzed. Since the number of anatomically affected body regions affects pain chronicization, patients were allocated into two groups: Group 1 included 169 patients with injuries in 1 or 2 anatomical body regions, and Group 2 included 111 patients with injuries in more than 2 anatomical regions. The Douleur Neuropathique 4 questions questionnaire was used to diagnose neuropathic pain.
Results. Data from the Douleur Neuropathique 4 questions diagnostic questionnaire indicate that all patients had a neuropathic component of pain (4—6 points). There was no statistically significant difference at all stages of treatment: in military mobile hospitals (p = 0.911), in military medical clinical centers (p = 0.771), at the time of discharge from inpatient treatment (p = 0.931), one month after discharge (p = 0.949), three months after discharge (p = 0.931), six months after discharge (p = 0.927), and twelve months after discharge (p = 0.842).
Conclusions. Patients who received mine blast wounds have a high frequency of chronic pain. The risk of chronicity is influenced by the neuropathic component of pain, which was present in all patients in this category, as indicated by the data from the Douleur Neuropathique 4 questions diagnostic questionnaire.

Published: November 2023

The article presents in detail the history of the creation of hygienic normative documents regulating the industrial and non-industrial effects of electromagnetic fields in the Russian Federation. Systematic scientific research in the field of biological action and hygienic regulation of radio frequency electromagnetic fields in our country began at the Research Institute of Occupational Hygiene and Occupational Diseases, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, where in 1952 specialists created the first laboratory of electromagnetic waves of radio frequencies in the country. In the future, a number of scientific institutions of hygienic, biomedical and physico-technical profile joined these studies. Scientists have scientifically substantiated the methodology of rationing hygienic factors. Over the past period, scientists have developed about 30 documents, including the maximum permissible level of electromagnetic fields. Currently, in the Russian Federation, the main current document establishing the maximum permissible level of permanent and variable electromagnetic fields in the workplace and for the public is SanPiN 1.2.3685-21 "Hygienic standards and requirements for ensuring the safety and(or) harmlessness of environmental factors for humans". The analysis made it possible to evaluate its advantages and identify disadvantages, as well as to outline promising areas of scientific research to improve existing and develop new maximum permissible levels of electromagnetic fields created by modern sources.
Ethics. This study did not require the conclusion of the Ethics Committee.

Rekayasa Perangkat Lunak (software engineering) merupakan proses komprehensif yang melibatkan pengembangan program aplikasi. Pemahaman mendalam mengenai DevOps (Development Operation), Siklus Hidup Pengembangan Perangkat Lunak (Software Development Life Cycle atau SDLC), serta Integrasi Berkelanjutan/Pengiriman Berkelanjutan (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment atau CI/CD) adalah esensial dalam pengembangan aplikasi yang modern. DevOps diarahkan untuk meningkatkan kemudahan akses terhadap software. Model SDLC yang tradisional seringkali dipilih karena kesesuaiannya dalam mengembangkan aplikasi yang mudah dievaluasi. Namun, keterbatasan model ini mengakibatkan pola kerja yang monoton bagi pengembang, sehingga menghambat perubahan dan adaptasi yang cepat. Sebagai solusi, model CI/CD telah dikembangkan menjadi pendekatan inovatif yang mengubah proses pengembangan perangkat lunak dari manual menjadi otomatis. CI/CD tidak hanya memudahkan dan mempercepat proses pengembangan tetapi juga meningkatkan kualitas dari software yang dirilis. Survei yang dilakukan melalui pre-test di SMK N 1 Posumaen menunjukkan adanya kekurangan dalam pengetahuan siswa mengenai prinsip rekayasa perangkat lunak yang canggih ini. Setelah penyampaian materi yang dirancang khusus, terdapat peningkatan yang signifikan dalam pemahaman siswa, sebagaimana dibuktikan oleh hasil post-test.

Masyarakat petani di pedesaan pada dasarnya berada pada posisi yang lemah baik secara ekonomi maupun dari aspek yuridis , apalagi didaerah lahan kritis yaitu yang mengandalkan dari pengairan tadah hujan. Karena mereka hanya akan produktif dibidang pertanian pada saat musim penghujan saja. Kondisi tersebut menjadikan posisi petani termarjinalkan baik secara ekonomi maupun sosial. Oleh karena itu perlu mendapatkan perlindungan hukum baik secara preventif maupun represif. Perlindungan hukum yang preventif merupakan perlindungan hukum yang bersifat pencegahan dan perlindungan yang represif berfungsi untuk menyelesaikan apabila Didalam peraturan perundang- undangan telah ditentukan UURI No 41 tahun 2009 tentang Perlindungan Lahan Pertanian Pangan Berkelanjutan dan UURI No.19 Tahun 2013 tentang Perlindungan dan Pemberdayaan Petani.

Deenz Dark Triad Personality Scale: Development, Validation, and Reliability
Authors: Dar Deen Mohd
Published: November 2023

Psychopathy has been studied separately for the past few decades but in the current DSM criteria, psychopathy is used interchangeably with antisocial personality disorder. So it means researchers are studying human behavior from a new perspective. In 2002 two researchers Delroy L. Paulhus and Kevin M. Williams proposed that human behaviour is vulnerable to negative traits that are considered unethical to society. They proposed three traits that human behaviour may exhibit narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy and everyone exhibits them to some extent. The research has been studied by research but for measuring these traits in a scale researchers recognized the need to develop a valid scale. In 2013 Delroy L. Paulhus developed a scale and the scale was valid for measuring these traits. In 2015 Deenz dark triad scale was developed by Deen Mohd and was validated with two different studies. In this research, we have tried to validate the scale with 2nd study on students aged 21 to 23 and from different streams. We have also used the digital version for better results and automatic scoring. The feedback received by the participants helped in validating the scale and finally, from the study we found that the scale is valid in measuring these traits.

The cigarette industry has a significant impact on public health, however, many people are involved in cigarette production as a livelihood. Strict regulations and policies are needed to protect workers, consumers and the environment from potential risks resulting from cigarette production. In general, laws governing workers in cigarette factories cover several important aspects, but are limited to occupational safety, workers' rights, environmental standards, and taxes related to the production and sale of cigarettes. Work safety regulations must also ensure that workers in cigarette factories are protected, and workers' rights must also be guaranteed. In addition, environmental regulations must ensure that cigarette manufacturers comply with strict environmental standards. Working in a cigarette factory is against Islamic values because the products are detrimental to human health. This journal discusses the law and the impact of working in a cigarette factory using literature methodology and legal practicev

Motion-planning based Robot Manipulation
Authors: Karen Almast
Published: November 2023

Deformable linear objects (DLOs) are present in a variety of industrial processes, and manipulating them is difficult for autonomous robots that are involved in the process. The unique properties of this class of objects must be taken into consideration, necessitating particular approaches to them. Due to the difficulty of computing all conceivable interactions, systems designed to handle the manipulation of such objects face problems with processing times .In this study, we offer a system that can build brief plans, made up of up to two phases, capable of bringing an input DLO to a specific goal configuration. Our work’s key con- tribution is this planning approach for DLO easy manipulation with the new feature of using a license-free simulation engine to quickly and easily process the object’s physical interactions. We reduce the computational burden of plan production by integrating the simulation engine into our planner. As a result, we are able to produce a quick and straightforward system that can reliably forecast DLO behavior and generate plans for manipulating it.
Ketidakpastian Hukum Dalam Penguasaan Tanah di Kawasan Perkebunan
Authors: Ramadhan Ridho Akbaru
Published: November 2023

Ada ketidakpastian yang jelas dalam dominasi lahan pertanian. Ini menimbulkan konflik di hampir wilayah Indonesia. Penataan kepemilikan atau penguasaan tanah sudah dimulai sejak UU No. 5 tahun 1960 sebagai acuan dalam penataan kepemilikan tanah pertanian di Indonesia. Namun, apa yang diharapkan dan menjadi alasan pembenaran tindakan itu tampaknya belum muncul sesuai tuntutan. Berdasarkan Keputusan Kepala BPN RI Nomor 34 Tahun 2007 tentang Pedoman Teknis Penanganan dan Penyelesaian Masalah Pertanahan, konflik tanah timbul terkait masalah penguasaan, kepemilikan, penggunaan atau pemanfaatan sebidang tanah. Diundangkannya UU No. 18 tahun 2004 tentang Perkebunan juga membuka konflik antara petani dan perusahaan perkebunan. Konflik terjadi ketika perkebunan itu berbeda antara satu atau lebih orang atau kelompok orang dengan perusahaan perkebunan yang berkaitan dengan perkebunan. Ada beberapa faktor yang menyebabkan konflik, terutama lahan pertanian kepemilikan lahan perkebunan, yaitu: (1) ketidaksetaraan kepemilikan lahan pertanian; (2) ada ketidakjelasan pengaturan hak atas tanah; (3) gurun secara fisik; dan (4) kepemilikan tanah yang tumpang tindih. Mengingat kompleksitas konflik atas tanah, resolusi konflik tanah harus didasarkan tidak hanya pada pendekatan hukum formal semata tetapi juga melalui pendekatan lain seperti ekonomi, sosial dan budaya

Published: November 2023

Climate change, primarily driven by human activities, is becoming one of the most urgent global challenges of our time. Despite lingering doubts about climate change in some research documents, strong consensus within the scientific community still affirms that global surface temperatures have risen in recent decades. Over the past decade, significant efforts have been made by humans to address the climate change crisis, resulting in certain impacts in combating climate change and raising awareness about its consequences. However, the question remains: Are we heading in the right direction to effectively address this crisis, or do we need to reconsider our approach? This essay will examine some of major achievements in the fight against climate change, the increasing awareness of its impacts, the escalating severity of the climate crisis, and whether our actions are on the right track or require reevaluation.

Published: November 2023

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic introduced acute stressors that posed significant threats to adolescent mental health. However, limited research has examined the impact of trauma exposure on vulnerability to acute stressor-related mental health outcomes in adolescents. Furthermore, little is known about the role of factors that promote resilience in this context. This preregistered study aimed to investigate the impact of trauma on COVID-19 stressor-related mental health difficulties in adolescents, in addition to the role of protective factors.Method: Aims were investigated in a large sample of 9,933 adolescents (mean age 12.85 +/- 0.88 years) from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study. Linear mixed effects models were employed to examine a) the associations of early trauma exposure (exposed vs. non-exposed), COVID-19 stressors, and perceived stress, sadness, and positive affect levels during the pandemic period in the US, and b) the role of protective factors (physical activity, parental support, and positive family and peer relationships) in these associations. Results: There was a positive association between COVID-19 stressors and sadness, which was enhanced in trauma-exposed adolescents. Higher levels of positive family and peer relationships mitigated the positive association between COVID-19 stressors and all mental health outcomes, regardless of prior traumatic experience. Conclusion: These findings support the hypothesis that prior trauma elevates risk of mental health difficulties in the face of future acute stressors. Results underscore the protective role of social relationships as targets for early prevention and intervention in those experiencing acute stressors, regardless of prior traumatic experience.

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners around the world have access to various tools for their writing skill enhancement. Those tools are commonly accessed with automated written corrective feedback to help them minimize the errors in writing due to its time efficiency. Additionally, the examples of the written corrective feedback used by EFL learners are commonly Grammarly, Hemingway app, and AI grammar checker. However, they fail to address the pointed needs of EFL learners in writing skill enhancement where English is not the native language, such as the practices in non-native developing countries. Due to writing skill enhancement as the aim of this study, the EFL learners' participation is crucial to its efficacy by conventional model, instead of the automated one. To answer this issue, this study presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) analysis of conventional written corrective feedback as learning as the appropriate model for  EFL learners' writing skill enhancement as the reflective practices in light of the shortcomings for EFL learners' writing skill enhancement in Indonesia. This SLR study demonstrates that the conventional written corrective feedback has the potential to support the Indonesian EFL learners' writing skill enhancement by comparing current practices of the corrective feedback as learning for EFL learners in Indonesia with national practices and international ones dealing with non-native developing countries reported in the literature. The conventional written corrective feedback is expected to be an efficient sustainable model to enhance the EFL learners' writing skill because of its empowering organic form.

The students at the university under investigation are required to successfully complete the TOEFL Prediction test in order to be eligible for graduation. This study was conducted to assess the perceptions of these students regarding the TOEFL Prediction test as one of the graduation requirements. The research employed a descriptive-quantitative methodology and involved 171 English Study Program students from three different academic batches. A questionnaire served as the primary instrument for data collection, with data analysis carried out using Microsoft Excel and SPSS statistics version 26. The results of the data analysis indicated that the mean scores for most items in the questionnaire were in the high range. Specifically, 25 out of the 29 questionnaire items obtained mean scores above 3.40, demonstrating that students' perceptions in this study leaned positively toward the TOEFL Prediction test policy. However, it's important to note that nearly half of the students recognized that the TOEFL Prediction test is not an easy test. Furthermore, there is room for improvement in terms of students' understanding of the type of TOEFL test provided by the language centre at the university and the benefits of the TOEFL certificate. These findings can provide valuable input for the university's policymakers and administrators. They can use this information to design new initiatives and strategies aimed at assisting students in improving their test-taking skills and their understanding of the TOEFL Prediction test's structure. Such efforts can contribute to enhancing students' overall readiness for this requirement.
Extensive Reading at the University Level: Why is it Trivialized in Practice?
Authors: Adhikari Bal Ram , Shrestha Kumar Narayan
Published: November 2023

The role of extensive reading in the formation of students' life-long reading habits and their overall academic achievement has been well established in ESL/EFL scholarship. Despite this, studies reveal that extensive reading is being either trivialized or ignored in reading instruction. In this regard, the current paper aims to explore the factors responsible for the trivialization of extensive reading in university reading instruction. To this end, the study adopted a single case study design that comprised four university ESL/EFL teachers and eight students as participants. The data were collected through three qualitative methods: non-participatory semi-structured classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussion. The analysis of the data revealed four major factors preventing university students from reading widely and extensively: students' poor reading habits, students' increased use of social media, teachers' lack of extensive reading and failure to motivate students, and an unsupportive institutional environment.  The findings imply that extensive reading cannot be promoted unless it is integrated into every day reading lessons and practised under the guidance of teachers in a resourceful environment.
Basic Level Students’ Perceptions and Practices on Assessment

Published: November 2023

Assessment in a classroom context is a method of evaluating students’ ability and knowledge with certain purposes. This phenomenological study shared the students’ perceptions of assessment in the EFL context and explored the preparation strategies for the examination. The information for this study was collected via in-depth interviews with six participants studying at the Basic Level (Grades 6-8) in one of the private schools of Kathmandu Valley. The findings of the study showed that the students were somewhat dissatisfied with summative assessment. They suggested a balance between summative and formative assessment. The participants favoured project assessment as it provided the learners ample opportunities to learn from each other, and their performance was measured while engaging in the project activities. This study is expected to be useful for students, teachers, teacher educators, researchers, policymakers, and ELT experts by providing perceptions, insights, and assessment practices.
Secondary Level Students’ Experiences of Cyberbullying through Facebook
Authors: Dahal Betendra Kumar
Published: November 2023

ICT users face various challenges due to the lack of knowledge and awareness to use its tools properly. Along with the spread of Facebook users, the trend of cyberbullying is gradually increasing among teenagers including school students who have been victimised daily. This study explores the students’ experiences of cyberbullying through Facebook and the strategies they apply to cope with cyberbullying. I employed the qualitative research method in which the semi-structured interview was designed to collect data from 16 participants. The finding of this study depicts that cyberbullying is experienced by the participants in various ways like sharing memes on Facebook wall and Messenger, using nicknames, using unacceptable (vulgar) words, teasing, threatening, hacking Facebook passwords, and using, proposing for being close friends and joining photos and uploading, sending messages time and again and calling during night time. The study also found that cyberbullying makes victimised people feel insecure. It was also suggested to report with the family members and friends making strict laws, keeping in school level curriculum and launching mass awareness to cope with the cyberbullying activities found in the school level students of Nepal.

Published: November 2023

This article aimed to explore the beliefs and opinions of in-service secondary-level teachers towards teacher training for professional development. Moreover, it intended to identify major issues that existed in the field of teacher training in Nepal. It is a qualitative research study in which the teachers' stories and experiences have been documented. A purposive sampling strategy was used to select the sample from the target population. Unstructured in-depth interviews were conducted to collect data. The data were further analysed thematically. The study found that many teachers perceived teacher training as a strategy of professional development that equipped them with both the content and the pedagogical knowledge and skills. However, the study has highlighted various issues and challenges such as geographical difficulty, inaccessibility to the resources, centrality in training practices in the federal system, nepotism, favouritism, and political relations while selecting the trainees. The study implies that the training courses, provisions, policies, and programs are to be developed and launched based on the teachers’ needs. Furthermore, teacher training should be decentralised.
Realization of 25-GHz spaced Ultra densed Spectrum-Sliced WDM PON with 3- spectrum sliced channels using 50-GHz AWGs

We used three spectrum sliced even and odd channels using a pair of 50-GHz Arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWGs) demonstrating the possibility of 25-GHz spaced ultra densed spectrum-sliced wavelength-division[1]multiplexed passive optical network. Those AWGs have an offset of 25 GHz with respect to each other. For the demultiplexing of the channels, we used a pair of 50-GHz AWGs. We intended to use these AWGs as it gives better bit-error rate performances and has two times larger channel bandwidth than conventional 25-GHz AWGs . Moreover, the increased spectral overlap between adjacent channels produces relatively small crosstalk since the channels are incoherent and the irintensity noise is absorbed by the reflective semiconductor amplifiers. The 25-GHz spaced spectrum-sliced spectrum-sliced WDM passive optical network can be realized more easily using 50-GHz AWGs since 50-GHz AWGs are more available in the market than 25- GHz AWGs.
