Sensitive periods in language development: Do children outperform adults on auditory word-form segmentation?
Authors: Smalle Eleonore Huguette M. , Bogaerts Louisa
Published: May 2024

Children are more successful language learners than adults, yet the nature and cause of this phenomenon are still not well understood. Auditory statistical learning from speech has been a prominent focus of research in the field of language development because it is regarded as a fundamental learning mechanism underlying word segmentation in early language acquisition. However, a handful of studies that investigated developmental trajectories for auditory statistical learning found no clear child advantages. The degree to which the learning task measures explicit rather than implicit mechanisms might obscure a potential advantage for younger learners, as suggested by recent findings. In the present study, we compared children aged 7 to 12 years and young adults on an adapted version of the task that disentangles explicit and implicit contributions to learning. They were exposed to a continuous stream of speech sounds comprising four repeating trisyllabic pseudowords. Learning of the hidden words was tested (a) online through a target-detection task and (b) offline via a forced-choice word recognition test that included a memory judgement procedure. Both measures revealed comparable learning abilities. However, children’s performance on the recognition task showed evidence for both explicit and implicit word knowledge while adults appeared primarily sensitive to explicit memory. Since implicit memory is more stable in time than explicit memory, we suggest that future work should focus more on developmental differences in the nature of the memory that is formed, rather than the strength of learning, when trying to understand child advantages in language acquisition.
Infants Infer And Predict Coherent Event Interactions: Modeling Cognitive Development
Authors: Theuer Johanna K. , Koch Nadine Nicole , Gumbsch Christian , Elsner Birgit , Butz Martin V.
Published: May 2024

Mental representations in infants are sparse and grow richer over development. Anticipatory eye fixation studies show that infants at around 7 months start to predict the goal of an observed action, e.g., an object targeted by a reaching hand. Interestingly, goal-predictive gaze shifts occur at an earlier age when the (animate) hand subsequently manipulates an object and later when an action is performed by an inanimate actor, e.g., a mechanical claw. We introduce CAPRI² (Cognitive Action PRediction and Inference in Infants), a computational model that explains this development from a functional, algorithmic perspective. It is based on the theory that infants learn object files and events as they develop a physical reasoning system. In particular, CAPRI² learns a generative event-predictive model, which it uses to both interpret sensory information and infer goal-directed behavior.When observing object interactions, CAPRI² (i) interprets the unfolding interactions in terms of event-segmented dynamics, (ii) maximizes the coherence of its event interpretations, and (iii) chooses actions for minimizing anticipated uncertainty. As a result, CAPRI² mimics the developmental pathway of infants' goal-predictive gaze behavior. Our modeling work suggests that the involved event-predictive representations, longer-term generative model learning, and shorter-term instantaneous, retrospective, and active inference principles constitute fundamental building blocks for the effective development of goal-predictive capacities.

Influnce of Corporate Governance on Financial Health of Nepalese Commercial Banks
Authors: Bhandari Mohan , Ranabhat Manisha
Published: May 2024

This study aims to measure the impact of corporate governance on financial health of commercial banks in Nepal. Return on assets, return on equity and earnings per share are the dependent variables used to measure financial health and corporate governance variables such as board size, audit committee size, audit committee meetings and board diligence are considered as independent variables. Primary and secondary data were collected through the administration of structured questionnaire and from the annual reports of commercial banks respectively. Convenience sampling was used to select the commercial banks located in Pokhara valley for collecting primary data. Simple random sampling was used to select 10 commercial banks (5 joint venture and 5 non joint venture banks) out of total population of 27 commercial banks for a time period of 2017/18 to 2019/20 for collecting secondary data. Multiple regression analysis and descriptive statistics were used in analyzing the data. Independent sample t-test was used to test the hypothesis in order to find out the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance.
The questionnaire survey reveals that board independence and audit committee independence are the most important variable for corporate governance. The primary data analysis concluded that small size board enhances the financial health. Transparency and disclosure is also an important feature of audit committee mechanisms. The analysis of secondary data reveals that audit committee meetings has a significant but inverse relationship with health of the commercial banks. The result indicates that priority should be given for quality of meetings but not the number of times such meetings are held due to the busyness of directors having better knowledge, expertise and their involvement in different sectors. The results support the idea that board busyness is useful factor for director quality. And busyness needs to be integrated with diligence to the extent that busy directors are diligent towards firms and they are able to exercise their expertise to positively influence firm performance. This study also helps the future researchers to conduct future research on impact of corporate governance on financial health to extend with new data and huge sample.
Reflection of Hindu-Buddhist religious harmony in Nepali Temples
Authors: Ojha Niranjan
Published: May 2024

Religious harmony is essential for preserving harmony and peace in a multi religious nation like Nepal. If the issue of harmony is not resolved, there may be religious conflict in society. Although Nepal is a secular nation with a preponderance of Hindus, Buddhistsplay a significant and integral role in Nepalese society. They have coexisted in harmony with religion in Nepal. At this time, there were no religious conflicts or hostilities between Buddhists and Hindus. According to the Principle of Religious Syncretism, religious ideaswill be shared when two cultures come together and interact, with the dominant culture prevailing in the exchange. Syncretism of cultures and customs developed in Nepal for a number of reasons. Buddhism became a fundamental component of society due to its social acceptance and respect in the community. Buddhism is seen by Hindus as a part of Hindu philosophy, and vice versa. They have, however, made an effort to stand apart in recent years by religiously rejecting decades of harmony and peace. This study aims to examine the crucial elements fostering religious harmony in a multi-faith setting and how religious syncretism is reflected in Nepali temples. An in-depth interview and library research methods are used to study the issue of religious harmony. This article's goal is to examine the essential elements that support religious harmony in a multi-religious society as well as how religious syncretism is reflected in Nepalese temples. The causes of harmonic syncretism in the context of temples are also discussed in this study. The objective of this research is to create a longterm vision of religious peace between Nepal's Hindu and Buddhist communities. They might be motivated to keep healthy relationships by the findings.

Authors: Kharel Laxmi Prasad
Published: May 2024

In Nepali society, king used to be respected by people. Kings had role not only in political and administrative landscape but also in the cultural and social scenario. In Medieval Nepal, the king would enact law, enforce law and also impart justice. Justice was a well-established virtue in the polity of Nepal since the remote past. Nepal had been ruled by some royal dynasties, i.e., Gopalas, Mahispalas, Kirants, Lichhchavi, Malla and Shah. The medieval history of Nepal begins with the Malla dynasty. The first Malla king is Ari Malla (1207-1216). The later medieval period or the Malla dynasty of Kathmandu begins when King Jayasthiti Malla was in complete control in the valley. The study has aimed at to finding out how the kings of the later medieval period had played role in the administrative system of the then Nepal. So, this research article is designed to find out the role of king in the entire administrative system of Nepal under the later medieval period. It has been known about the administration system of Malla from the various sources, that are inscriptions, manuscripts, and other literary sources, beside the foreign accounts. On the basis of these sources, it has been described about the administrative system of Malla. Malla kings ruled under the monarchical system. Kings were all in all countries, and they had all the authority of supreme power and controlled their countries by being the commanders in -chief in justices and chiefs of the administration of the countries. The king himself handled the leadership of war and used to go in far places for it. Kings liked to possess different royal titles, such as 'Nepaleswor', 'Nepal Mandalesor ', Nepal Pundya Bhumesor', 'Rajrajendra, 'Sakala Sastra Sangitadi Vaidhya Parangat', 'Kabindra 'etc. Until arrival of the powerful Gurkhas from Gurkhas kingdom, the Malla kings ruled the valley which was cut into four kingdoms –Bhadgaon, Kathmandu ,Patan and Banepa. During the Malla period, the choice of who would be king rested with the tribes( Pradhans) who represented the nobility. Monarchy was limited and administration was decentralized. Public opinion played a vital in Malla administration. Nepal in that time remained politically disunited and weak because of the internal conflict between the Malla kings of the valley.

Narrative Remedies: Exploring Therapeutic Expression in Phyllis Alesia Perry’s Stigmata
Authors: Jha Bibha
Published: May 2024

This research paper explores the therapeutic dimension of writing as a means of healing, with a specific focus on Phyllis Alesia Perry’s novel, Stigmata. Perry's work serves as a powerful example of how literature can be employed as a therapeutic tool for individuals navigating through trauma and adversity. The paper examines the novel's narrative structure, character development, and thematic elements, highlighting the healing potential embedded in the act of writing. By examining the protagonist's journey and the broader implications for readers, this research aims to contribute to the understanding of literature as a therapeutic medium. Although Stigmata contains various therapeutic dimensions, this paper tries to limit on the scope of scriptotherapy to reach the research end. First, the paper develops Suzette A. Henke's theory of “scriptotherapy” which is supported by Jennifer Lynne Bird’s “Narrative Writing,” and Sayantani Das Gupta and Marsha Hurst’s “Narrative Medicine” on the basis set by Jeffrey C. Alexander’s notion of the “agent of the carrier group,” Ron Eyerman’s notion of “collective representation,” and Dominick La Capra’s notion of “working through” since all these notions directly or indirectly contribute healing the traumatic wounds of people. In reading the novel, the employment of the theories helps discover how Stigmata proves to be therapeutic by analyzing and interpreting the essential and relevant textual evidence. Employment of the already produced literature by the scholars/critics will authenticate the central logic in meeting the research end.
Exploring Trishanku Psyche in Nepali British Diaspora Poetry
Authors: Niroula Dhundi Raj
Published: May 2024

This present paper is an analysis of trishanku psyche in the poetry from the Nepalese British diaspora. It scrutinizes how Nepalese poetry composed at British diaspora celebrates the theme of repulsion and fascination of diaspora people towards their land of origin and land of relocation. Seven different poems written by seven different Nepalese poets living at British diaspora are examined in this paper. For the theoretical underpinnings, insights are borrowed from diaspora theorists, researchers and scholars such as W. Andy Knight, Israel Milton, Makrand Paranjape, William Saffron, Uma Parameshwaran, Nina Glick Schiller, Jani Hiral and Pabitra Bharali. Nepalese diasporic poets from around the world including British diaspora express cultural dilemma, divided loyalty, exploration of identity as well as failure of their dream. In general, their poetry articulates bifurcated subjectivity, belonging to neither-here-nor-there, analogically bearing trishanku psyche in the context of the globalized world.
The Politics of American Values in Barack Obama’s Life Narratives: A Rhetorical Analysis of National Ethos
Authors: Bhusal Mahendra
Published: May 2024

Barack Obama weaves a sequence of his personal story rhetorically to evoke American national ethos, with a special emphasis on American values making them an integral part of his memoirs, especially his The Audacity of Hope (2006). This paper interrogates why he narrates the story of typical American values in his political memoir in general and ascertain them in a dedicated section titled ‘Values’ in particular to explore the implicit dimensions of his storytelling. Form the theoretical parameters of Walter R Fisher’s ‘narrative paradigm’ this paper contends that, by way of recognizing (assimilating or internalizing) typical American values, Obama prepares a ground for Fisher’s ‘narrative rationality’ to identify himself with American character and American people, and thereby evokes American national ethos to assume a statesmanship.

The study analyzes the issues through the research approach (methodology) of the Marxist concept of dialectics. According to this theory, the conflict between society's opposing forces is permanent, while any resolution to it is conditional and only temporary. This idea maintains that the key to the liberation of the oppressed nationality and class is the battle against the oppressor nationality and class. One of the novel's two main protagonists, Reverend Hickman, belongs to the oppressed black nationality and class. Hickman seeks to free the downtrodden Blacks from its constraints, but he chooses the incorrect road by making peace with the country's ruling white class. Hickman believes that the battles of Afro-Americans alone cannot end black national oppression; instead, he looks to some heavenly figure from the white race, such as Abraham Lincoln, to grant Afro-Americans their independence, justice, and equality. Bliss was nurtured by Hickman in the hopes that he would become the American equivalent of Abraham Lincoln, but Bliss betrayed Hickman by becoming into the racial baiting white senator Adam Sunraider. Despite Bliss's betrayal, Hickman continues to have faith in Sunraider. The study reveals that this Hickman's message of peaceful approach while dealing with ruling whites keeps the Afro-Americans weak, far from liberating the oppressed black nationality.

Authors: Acharya Bhumi Raj , Joshi Nanda
Published: May 2024

This paper aimed to identify the impact of selected macro variable on inflation and examin­ing the relationship between inflation rate and selected macro variables. Generally, both fis­cal and monetary policies seek at achieving relative macroeconomic stability through stable prices or low and stable inflation. In the light of this, this study empirically investigates the impact of some macro variable on inflation in Nepal with the use of econometric tech­nique multiple regression, correlation and trend analysis using time series data from 2001 to 2018. The annual data is collected from Nepal Rastra Bank and web site of World Bank. The result revealed that money supply is positively correlated with inflation, but the result is however insignificant in the case of GDP growth rate and to determine the inflation rate in context of Nepal. The regression analysis indicates that 85.9% of inflation rate is deter­mined by exchange rate, money supply, GDP, per capita income and inflation rate of India, rest in 14.1% inflation rate is determined by other factors. The study found that there is positive correlation between exchange rate and inflation rate, money supply and inflation, per capita income and inflation rate and Indian inflation and inflation rate of Nepal. But study also revealed that insignificant negative correlation between GDP and inflation rate of Nepal. The exchange rate, money supply and Indian inflation are significant with infla­tion but GDP and per capita income are insignificant with inflation over the time period under study. There is only the monetary policy is not capable to control inflation, the fiscal measure are highly effective to controlling government expenditure, personal expenditure and private & public investment. The study therefore recommends that the central bank of Nepal need to deal with monetary and fiscal policy in more transparent manner so as to address the issue of inflation in Nepal.

Retained placenta is a condition where the placenta is retained in the uterus and has not come out for 30 minutes after giving birth because the uterus does not contract properly. The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia in 2019 was 305 per 100,000 live births. The direct cause of maternal death is bleeding, where retained placenta is one of the biggest causes of bleeding, reaching 28%. A systematic review was conducted to determine the influence of age factors on the incidence of retained placenta in Indonesia. The criteria for the articles reviewed were articles within the year 2020-2024 and used the Google Scholar database. The keywords used are "Age" and "Retained Placenta". The search results obtained 8 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the 8 articles reviewed, 7 articles stated that the mother's age had an influence on the incidence of retained placenta. The results of a systematic review show that there is a relationship between age and the incidence of retained placenta, namely that age < 20 years and > 35 years can increase the incidence of rest placenta in mothers giving birth.

Same Author, Same Stories, Different Unity: A Close Comparative Reading of a Selection of Stories from Raymond Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love and Beginners
Authors: Carter Kaitlyn
Published: May 2024

This essay provides a close comparative reading of three stories from Raymond Carver’s short story cycles Beginners and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. A working definition of short story cycles is developed and referenced in the evaluations of these stories—this definition utilizes literary scholar Gerald Lynch’s work on the sub-genre. The close comparative analyses of “Why Don’t You Dance?”, “One More Thing”, and “Gazebo” reveal that both collections meet the criteria of short story cycles, however, Beginners has a stronger unity that achieved through its shared themes. This supports the argument that Carver’s editor, Gordon Lish, exchanged Carver’s unity of theme in Beginners for a weaker unity of style in What We Talk About.

Research is devoted to the study of the assortment of lettuce seeded under hydroponics conditions. The survival rate of lettuce plants depended on the type and variety, and also differed to a certain extent by the terms of sowing. Plants of the Aficion variety of leaf lettuce (control) had the highest percentage of engraftment - 98.1%, which is 0.6 and 3.7% more compared to other variants of the experiment. Plants of the Raphael variety had a higher survival rate in romaine lettuce – 97.9%, which is 1.4% more than the control variant.

Among the varieties of romaine lettuce, plants of the Maximus variety (control) had a higher height – 16.1 cm, which is 3.8 cm more than the Raphael variety. Comparing leaf lettuce plants, the highest height was noted in the Aficion variety (control) – 13.3 cm, which is 0.9 and 1.8 cm more than the other tested variants. In romaine lettuce, a larger diameter of the rosette was noted in the Maximus variety – 25.2 cm, which is 9.1 cm more than the Raphael variety. Among the leaf-type lettuce varieties, the largest diameter of the rosette of leaves was characterized by plants of the Aficion variety (Batavia type) – 28.3 cm, which is 4.0 and 7.9 cm more than the other studied variants of the experiment. In romaine lettuce, plants of the Maximus variety were characterized by a greater mass of the above-ground part – 210 g, which is 80.0 g more than the Raphael variety. Among the varieties of leaf lettuce, the Kirinia variety had the largest mass – 200 g, which is 60.0 more than the control variant. Mr.

Maximus variety romaine lettuce had the highest yield – 9.3 kg/m2, and in terms of rows – 37.0 kg/m2, which is 14.1 kg/m2 more than the Raphael variety. Among the leafy types of lettuce, plants of the Kirinia variety were characterized by a higher yield – 8.8 kg/m2, in terms of rows – 35.2 kg/m2, where the increase compared to the control was 10.6 kg/m2. The yield of different types of lettuce ranged from 158.4 t/ha to 369.6 t/ha, taking into account the rows of racks. The highest yield, taking into account the tiering of racks, was obtained by growing Maximus (romaine type) – 369.6 t/ha and Kirinia (oak type) – 352.0 t/ha with an increase of 42.9 t/ha compared to the control variant.
THE EFFECT OF REPLACEMENT OF FISH MEAL WITH FERMENTED SOYBEAN MEAL IN THE COMBINED FEED ON THE MORPHOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE BODY OF YOUNG CLARIAS GARIEPINUS (CLARIAS GARIEPINUS)
Authors: Vozniuk R. R. , Sychov M. Yu.
Published: May 2024

The article examines the impact of feeding compound feed with different levels of fishmeal replacement with fermented soybean meal on the morphological and chemical composition of the body of young clary catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Experimental studies were carried out in the conditions of the experimental base of the problematic research laboratory of feed additives of the Department of Animal Feeding and Feed Technology, National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. A scientific and economic experiment was conducted using the method of groups of analogues lasting 56 days, which was divided into four subperiods of 14 days each.

For the experiment, 600 heads of young clary catfish with an average weight of 25 grams were selected, and six groups of 100 heads each—a control group and 5 experimental ones—were formed by the analogue method. Young clary catfish were fed compound feed, which differed in the level of the introduction of fermented soybean meal.

Thus, the combined feed of the control group contained 36% fish meal without the addition of fermented soybean meal EP500, while in the combined feed of group 2, the content of fish meal was reduced to 26% and 10% fermented soybean meal EP500 was added.

In compound feed for group 3, the level of fish meal continued to decrease to 21%, and the level of fermented soybean meal EP500 was increased to 15%. Focusing on 100% replacement of fishmeal, the compound feed of groups 4, 5, and 6 was characterised by a 16%, 11%, and 0% content of this ingredient, while fermented soybean meal EP500 in these groups was 20%, 25%, and 36%, respectively.

At the end of the experiment, the morphological and chemical composition of the body was determined by weight on ten specimens of the most typical fish. The muscle tissue of skinless fish was used to study the chemical composition. Before analysis, all samples were stored in a refrigerator.

It was established that the use of compound feed with the replacement of fish meal in the feeding of young clary catfish and the introduction of fermented soybean meal into its composition at the level of 25-36% led to an increase in the weight of the carcass of the cartridge by 3.69 (р≤0.05) - 4, 12% (р≤0.01); carcass weight by 4.10 – 4.67 (р≤0.01); muscle tissue mass by 3.99 - 4.98 (р≤0.01) compared to the control group.

At the same time, it should be noted that feeding compound feed with different levels of fermented soybean meal had no probable effect on the chemical composition of young clary catfish muscle tissue.

Increasing the production of dairy and meat products is becoming more and more important in connection with the growth of the population and the increase in demand for these products. In order to meet the needs of the consumer in this matter, directions for increasing the reproductive capacity of livestock are constantly being developed, because this issue is becoming more acute every year. The aim of the study was to establish the dependence of biochemical indicators, such as the content of total protein, albumins, the ratio of albumins to globulins and alkaline phosphatase with indicators of reproducibility. Blood serum was used to determine biochemical parameters. The method for determining the content of total protein, albumins, alkaline phosphatase activity was based on the use of the spectrophotometric method. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel. According to the results of our research, a statistical interdependence of the protein content with indicators of the service period, reproducibility, and insemination index was established, where the correlation dependence was within r= (-0.471 – (-0.809)) with a probable error (P<0.001). A correlation dependence of alkaline phosphatase activity with indicators of reproducibility was established, which had statistical limits of r= 0.602 to -0.722 with a probable error (P<0.001). During the analysis of scientific works, a similarity was established in the dependence of changes in biochemical blood parameters and their influence on the reproductive capacity of the cow herd. These changes in the application of food additives in the diet of animals to correct metabolism, which led to changes in biochemical indicators and improvement of reproductive capacity, are quite clearly traced.
