Authors: Bastakoti R , Upadhyaya S
Published: July 2023

There are many meat shop around the country and only few are maintaining standard according to animal slaughter house and meat inspection act, 2057. We are trying to evaluate standard of 122 meat shop of Madi Municipality. We have prepared a questionnaire and surveyed all the meat shop to know the condition of shop and their standard with reference to animal slaughter house and meat inspection act, 2057. Meat shop in Madi is dominated by chicken, 85.71%. Which are equipped with D-freeze (60.65%) for freezing meat for a day with 91.22% having backup support for freezers. 70.08% of the shops are registered as mentioned by act. Similarly, only few (7.09%) of the shop have area met the requirement given by act. Ventilation in 59.02% of the shops are perfectly in line with act whereas tiles in the floor was absent in 83.61% of the shops. Good water supply and Slab in butchering area is in minimal with 8.20% and 4.10% respectively. Good condition mesh wire is present in order to prevent flies in 19.67% of the shops. Furthermore, only 1.64% of the butcher are aware about rules and regulations and 11.48% of the shop uses proper disinfection. Similarly, waste management is mostly done by making manure (28.69%) followed by burning (27.05%). Additionally, consumer’s preference is in fresh meat (79.51%) among which demand of chest meat is higher (52.46%) in chicken meat. In conclusion, most of the butcher are unaware of act and are doing their business without any knowledge of act and are not in line with the instructions given by the act.

Authors: Pokharel S , Sharma S
Published: July 2023

Pramphistomum cervi has been a neglected but very crucial trematode parasite causing huge unseen economic loss in ruminant production globally. It has become an endemic species of fluke predominant in tropics and subtropics of Nepal. This study was aimed to estimate the overall prevalence of Pramphistomum cervi eggs in different domestic ruminant species of Pokhara Lekhnath Metropolitan City of Kaski district and to find the interaction of prevalence with other variables. A cross sectional study was performed to study the prevalence of Paramphistomum cervi eggs identified by Parasitological unit of Veterinary Hospital and Livestock Service Experts Centre, Kaski from January 2021 to April 2022. Out of 900 observations,842 observations with complete information were filtered out and included in our study. Statistical analysis was done with EpiInfo (Version 7.2.4.0) and graphical representation was done with MS Excel 2016. The overall prevalence of Pramphistomum cervi in different species of domestic ruminants was found to be 16.98%(143/842). The highest prevalence was seen in Cattle that was18.21% (45/247), followed by goats 16.66% (5/30) and buffaloes 16.46% (93/565). Seasonwise study of prevalence of Paramphistomum cervi in all the three ruminant species showed the highest overall infectivity during summer i.e 20.42% (88/431) followed by 13.38% (55/411) in winter and this difference was statistically significant (p-value 0.0065 at 95%CI). The higher prevalence of parasite was observed in adult lactating females of improved breeds. Thus, Paramphistomum cervi infection has become an important animal health issue to be addressed for safeguarding animal health and improvement of ruminant production in Pokhara Lekhnath Metropolitan City, Kaski. The biological intermediate host control measures in the pasture and routine screening of the parasite with routine deworming is essential to reduce the fluke burden among ruminants of Pokhara Metropolitan City in the future.
Critiquing Hegemony and Fostering Self-Agency in BP Koirala’s Atmabrittanta
Authors: Lamichhane Yog Raj
Published: July 2023

Atmabrittanta, an autobiography of Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala (popularly known as BP Koirala), was originally narrated onto a microphone in 1981-82. Moreover, it was published in Nepali in 1998 and the further translated English version was printed in 2001. It mainly incorporates the Nepali tales of revolutionary activism for democracy and nationhood. In the international context, it largely deals with colonial and postcolonial India and her political relationship with Nepal. Likewise, the political association with China is also the content of the book. In these backgrounds, the study analyses the autobiography for exploring how resistance blends with agency and how such oppositional activism contends with national and international hegemonic power blocs, especially applying Antonio Gramsci’s concept of hegemony, Jocelyn A. Hollander and Rachel L. Einwohner’s notion of resistance and Kaspar Maase’s idea of agency. Using textual analysis as a research method, this qualitative study uncovers the domination of neighboring countries, the anarchism of Rana dictators, the supremacy of the absolute kings and the regulations of male chauvinism as internal hegemonic tools to organize people’s consent. In addition, the analysis finds the autobiography as a manual for resisting such hegemonic forces to empower people and the sovereignty of Nepal primarily in the form of self-agency. The empowerment and development of self-agency in the national and international contexts ultimately contribute to democracy and nationalism.
The Use of Imagery and Its Significance in Literary Studies
Authors: Sharma Paudyal Homa Nath
Published: July 2023

Imagery is one of the various techniques that poets and other writers consciously or unconsciously use to make their expressions more powerful. It is, therefore, imperative for readers to have adequate knowledge about this literary technique, but most readers fail to seriously notice the application of imagery and to describe how it assists in the effective literary analysis and pedagogical process. Particularly used in poetry, ‘imagery’ has its great importance as it helps readers activate their’ sense organs and perceive the message as intended by poets or other writers. The main issue that encouraged this study is to explore the reasons behind the application of imagery and the extent of contribution it can make to literary analysis and pedagogy. The objective of the study is to explain the significance of imagery in the literary analysis and pedagogical process. Various print as well as online materials have been consulted to gather references in the article. Thus qualitative research method based on secondary sources has been applied to substantiate the argument. The findings of the study suggest that the use of imagery makes any text formally artistic and functionally appealing. The study also concludes that the use of imagery in literary texts enhances readers’ perception power as it motivates them by arousing their interest and activating their sense organs.
CORSICAN SEPARATISM IN THE FACE OF SOCIO-LEGAL CHALLENGES. ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM ON THE BASIS OF FRENCH, INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LAW
Authors: Światkowski Dominik
Published: July 2023

The paper relates to the separatist tendencies in Corsica. Following the victory of separatists in the local elections in 2017 and 2021, this issue remains one of the most current problems regarding the territorial situation in France. Firstly, the historical background showing the distinctiveness of the indigenous inhabitants of the island is analysed. Subsequently, the main problem is presented in the legal context. The basis for the analysis is the national (French), international and regional (EU) law. The attention is also focused on how the regulations are implemented in practice, particularly regarding their recognition. Although the right to self-determination does not seem to involve the right to secession due to the lack of outright effect of international law, the greater autonomy is not only possible but also desirable. The aim of the paper is to present different aspects of Corsican separateness, to examine the legal framework, and to assess the chances of Corsicans for changing their future.
THE EVOLUTION OF PAPAL SOCIAL THOUGHT ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
Authors: Bach-Golecka Dobrochna
Published: July 2023

The aim of the paper is to present the evolution of papal social teaching on indigenous peoples’ rights from a historical perspective. It seems possible to distinguish various phases of the Catholic standpoint based on the factual, historical background: medieval challenges of infidel peoples, the Indian question during the colonization period, the impact of modernity: class struggle and the Catholic social teaching, and finally, the contemporary globalization era during the present pontificate of Pope Francis. The common threads of papal teaching concern, firstly, the evangelizing mission of the Church to bring faith to overseas peoples and, secondly, human rights of indigenous peoples. The human rights perspective is inextricably linked with the principle of self-determination, understood as the foundation of good governance.
NO PLACE TO CALL HOME. INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE PROBLEM OF HOMELESSNESS
Authors: Ciak Daria
Published: July 2023

What is the meaning of the word ‘indigenous’? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it means: ‘originating or occurring naturally in a particular place.’ Paradoxically, what was first taken away from the people we define by this umbrella term is a place of their own. It is important to realize that not only their birthright to housing and organizing their living space has been violated. The lack of place is also a contradiction of the word ‘indigenous’, and thereby a direct cause of most problems connected with the contemporary situation of indigenous peoples around the globe. That is why, this paper presents research on the topic of homelessness among indigenous peoples. For the purpose of discussing the problem in more detail, the focus is on two particular native groups: Indigenous peoples of America (First Nations, the Inuit, the Métis) and Aboriginal Australians. For the sake of clarity, First Nations, the Inuit, the Métis are referred to as ‘Indigenous’, and native Australians as ‘Aboriginal’, although these two words are in fact synonymous. The aim of this bipartite study is also to compare the situation of native groups and laws that govern public space from two entirely different parts of the world, and to check whether there are more similarities or differences regarding the issue of homelessness.
LEGACY OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN EUROPEAN AND INDIGENOUS AFRICAN LEGAL CONSTRUCTS OF LAND TENURE IN CONTEMPORARY ZIMBABWE
Authors: Kunicki Jan
Published: July 2023

The study focuses on the undeniable significance of the European legal traditions, brought to former Southern Rhodesia/Rhodesia by European settlers, for the legal status of land tenure in the country, the legacy of which traditions still deeply impacts the situation in present-day Zimbabwe. There are two main aspects of this influence: the aftermath of imposed land division and the prevalence of Western legal traditions in contemporary law. Numerous laws enacted unilaterally by white Rhodesians, most notably the 1930 Land Apportionment Act and the 1951 Native Land Husbandry Act, impacted the land tenure in the region. The indigenous African population was undoubtedly discriminated against by these legal actions: numerous acres of the land were taken by European conquerors and those left were of much lesser value in terms of farming and pasture. After the end of minority rule in Rhodesia in 1980, when Robert Mugabe rose to power, new land policies were imposed and numerous land allocations were awarded to the supporters of his regime in the name of removing racial injustices. The consequence was disastrous: the policy led to the demise of once world-famous agriculture and Zimbabwe became ceaselessly endangered by famine. Furthermore, laws concerning the land tenure and husbandry were (and still are) based on European legal constructs, alien to the native population of Zimbabwe. Indigenous traditions were subsequently ousted by the European law and are significantly absent in Zimbabwe today. Nowadays, after the fall of Mugabe in 2017, the country finds itself in the defining point of its history. The question persists: Can Zimbabweans derive useful values from their past in order to shape a new land policy in their homeland that would be just for all its citizenry?

Published: July 2023

The article defines the prerequisites for the implementation of appropriate corrections in the training of shooters based on the introduced changes to the rules of competitive activity in bullet shooting. The chronology of the appearance of changes is also given, the main additions that lead to the need to use modern approaches, methods and tools in the training of air rifle shooters are described.

It has been established that the change in competition rules contributes to the increase in the spectacle of competitions, the growth of competition between athletes, the growth of requirements for the training of shooters, in particular, the ability to think tactically in a new way. It was revealed that during the evolution of the rules of the competition, the format of the finals was changed, there was a transition to the Olympic elimination system, the number of shots in the finals was increased, the time for each shot or series was reduced, etc. The need for improvement of various aspects of training of shooters, which is caused by constant changes in the rules of competitions, has been identified. In particular, updating the methodology of training athletes, which involves increasing the volume of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills. A number of scientists devoted their works to highlighting the rules of competitions, but the analysis of changes and their impact on the training of athletes is not sufficient, which actualizes our research.

Therefore, changing the rules of sports competitions, in the direction of complicating the conditions for shooting exercises, requires the search for ways to improve various aspects of shooter training, in particular, tactical, technical, etc.

Authors: Simchenko Andriy , Dovgych Oleksandr
Published: July 2023

During the competitive period, female athletes in the fitness category try to reduce the level of subcutaneous fat using a low-carbohydrate diet, strength and aerobic exercises. Due to heavy loads, untimely recovery, hypocaloric diet, sportswomen can get a decrease in sports results, overtraining, and even injuries. The purpose of the work: to investigate the effect of partial replacement of carbohydrates with polyunsaturated fats in women engaged in fitness during the competitive period of preparation. 17 sportswomen engaged in fitness took part in the study. Among them are 4 masters of sports of Ukraine and 13 candidates to master of sport. The research was conducted during two calendar months, which made up the competitive period. Female athletes were divided into two groups - control (n=8) and experimental (n=9), which did not differ in anthropometric and psychological indicators at the beginning of the study. The control group used a generally accepted low-carbohydrate diet. The experimental group added food products (fatty fish, pine nuts, oils, caviar) to the daily diet in such a way as to additionally receive 1 gram of unsaturated fats per kilogram of the athlete's own body weight every day. Significant differences were found in the indicators of the thickness of skin-fatty folds of the thigh (t=2.28; p<0.05) and abdomen (t=3.17; p<0.01) in favor of the experimental group. In psychological indicators according to the SAN method, EG athletes showed reliably (t=2.82; p<0.05) a better result in the indicator of well-being compared to CG (see Table 2). The result of CG in this indicator was 3.4±0.19 points, EG - 4.2±0.21 points. Conclusions. The use of polyunsaturated fats by fitness athletes in the competitive period of preparation not only does not interfere with getting rid of subcutaneous fat, but also makes this process more effective in comparison with those athletes who use a standard low-carbohydrate diet. The use of polyunsaturated fats in a low- carbohydrate diet has a positive effect on the mood index in the SAN test.

Published: July 2023

This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation of combined black cumin (BC) and grape seed (GS) powder at different rates (0%, 1%, 2%, and 4%, respectively) on growth performance and hepatopancreas histology of third instar Turkish narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus). A total of 180 third instar of crayfish with an initial mean weight of (0.06 g ±0.01 g) and mean length (11.0 mm ±0.01) were randomly assigned to four treatment groups with three replications in each group and at a density of 15 crayfish per replicate. Crayfish were fed an experimental diet rate of at 10% of total body weight for 84 days. Growth performance parameters were improved significantly with BC and GS powder supplementation (P<0.05), while survival rates did not differ among all groups (P>0.05). Weight gain, specific growth rate and feed conversion rate of the 1% group tended to be better than the other groups, with significant differences among groups (P<0.05). The number and volume of B cells increased significantly with the increase in the amount of (BC and GS) added to the feed (1, 2, and 4%) in the hepatopancreas. In addition, it was determined that the R cells, which absorb nutrients, are dense in the hepatopancreas tissue of the crayfish fed with 1% (BC and GS) added feed compared to the other groups. The results showed that dietary supplementation of 1% BC and GS could benefit third-instar crayfish's growth and histological data. Therefore, combining BS and GS can be recommended as a promising new feed additive for narrow-clawed crayfish culture.
Determination of crude protein content using the Dumas method of rootless duckweed (Wolffia arrhiza) grown under different LED lights
Authors: Taş Beyhan , Şengülendi Faruk Tolga
Published: July 2023

Rootless duckweed (Wolffia spp.) has the potential high-protein food source for humans. Wolffia is a member of the Lemnaceae family and is the world's smallest spermatophyte, with reduced roots, stems, and leaves. Scientific research on Wolffia species is relatively new, and this species is believed to be rare in Turkey. The phytochemicals and nutritional composition of plants are significantly affected by environmental factors in the natural or cultivated medium. In this study, Wolffia arrhiza was collected and cultured from a local area in Yeşilırmak Delta (Samsun) grown under controlled conditions using different LED lights. The Dumas method was used to determine the amount of crude protein. The protein content, calculated by multiplying the nitrogen (%) content by the standard conversion factor 6.25, was also evaluated by using different conversion factors in the literature. The results showed that rootless duckweed can be successfully grown under artificial lighting conditions with different light spectrums. The protein content of rootless duckweed, which was around 10% in the natural environment, increased considerably under red LED light (41.6% protein). The effect of different lights on protein content of W. arrhiza was observed as red LED > blue LED > purple LED > fluorescent. With its high protein content, environmentally friendly and sustainable production, Wolffia has the potential to quickly take place in the plant-based protein and functional food market as an alternative to traditional crops in the near future.

Násilie a neľudskosť ruskej vojny na Ukrajine definitívne ukončili falošný pocit bezpečia, ktorý Európa zažívala od juhoslovanských vojen. Udržiavanie priateľského dialógu s ľuďmi na celom svete je teraz dôležitejšie ako kedykoľvek predtým, aby sa zabránilo ďalším tragédiám. Preklad vo všetkých jeho podobách je kľúčový pre sprostredkovanie vzájomného porozumenia, ktoré je nevyhnutné, ak chceme ďalším generáciám odovzdať planétu v obývateľnom stave. Okrem iných disciplín sa práve translatológia čoraz aktívnejšie zaoberá najzložitejšími problémami našej planéty. Odkedy sú informačné toky priamo závislé od polohy na geopolitickej mape a podliehajú trhovým pravidlám, mnohé dôležité štúdiá uskutočňované mimo hlavných centier zostávajú napriek významným výsledkom a motivácii vedeckej obce v medzinárodnej akademickej sfére neznáme. Vďaka vedeckým osobnostiam, ktoré prispeli do tejto kolektívnej publikácie, sa translatológia na Ukrajine a excelentný výskum, ktorý sa na jej univerzitách realizuje v súčasnosti aj v minulosti, väčšmi zviditeľnili. Tento zborník obsahuje príspevky z konferencie Translation Studies in Ukraine as an Integral Part of the European Context, ktorá sa konala 12. – 13. mája 2022 v Bratislave, a je rozdelený do piatich tematických častí: Myšlienky a úvahy; O historickej spravodlivosti v translatológii; O metodologických aspektoch prekladu; O lingvistických aspektoch prekladu; O traume a manipulácii.

Using creative artifacts to teach scientific communication to psychology students
Authors: Skogsberg KatieAnn , Rice Beth Ann
Published: July 2023

The pandemic of 2020 forced many instructors to reevaluate their teaching and assessment practices. Assignments and assessments designed for face-to-face classes were quickly adapted to go online. Faculty-to-student relationships built through classroom interactions were transformed by the mediation of online platforms. At the time, the co-authors of this article were teaching different psychology courses at different institutions. However, we had similar concerns about the validity of our assessments in an unmonitored online environment and about maintaining personal connections with our students. We used the summer of 2020 to reimagine how our courses could be adapted to this new environment while satisfying specific learning goals, including demonstrating the ability to apply content knowledge and communicating scientific information through writing. To meet these challenges, we implemented a variation on authentic assessments. We replaced our exams with an assignment where students created artifacts of various forms to demonstrate what they had learned and how it connected to their future careers, personal interests, or real-world problems. They also had to include a written description for a non-expert audience to demonstrate their ability to explain their artifacts. This manuscript presents our rationale, requirements, assignments, grading rubrics, student feedback, and reflections on our experiences.

The tendency of narcissistic individuals to set unrealistic goals and unsatisfied needs for respect and love from others contribute to the disappointment of such people in their environment and in themselves. The purpose of the study is to theoretically investigate and empirically test the relationship between depression and the level of narcissism of an individual. Hypotheses have also been put forward: it is likely that there is a relationship between a person's level of narcissism and their tendency to a depressive state, which is associated with unsatisfied needs for recognition, respect and love; we assume that individuals with an average and high level of narcissism will show aggravation and sensitivity, which will cause depressive states of various levels. The object of the research is depression as a psychological phenomenon of the individual, and the subject is the peculiarities of depression in persons with different levels of narcissism. As a result of such tension and unsatisfied whimsical needs, narcissistic personalities are more prone to the development of depressive states against the background of emotional burnout, frustrations and narcissistic traumatization. In this connection, there is a need for a more detailed study of а narcissism phenomenon. The article examines depression as a psychological phenomenon of the individual and defines the features of depression in people with different levels of narcissism. Based on the theoretical analysis, a theoretical-hypothetical model of the features of depression in persons with different levels of narcissism was built. The results of an empirical study of the relationship between depression and the level of narcissism of an individual are presented. It was found that three main factors influence the occurrence of depressive states in narcissistic individuals: self-admiration, grandeur and egotism. An improved theoretical-hypothetical model of features of depression in persons with different levels of narcissism is proposed.

Today, Ukraine has faced a large number of challenges that have affected its economic, social and territorial development. The war posed new challenges, one of which is an increase in the level of corruption both among individuals and legal entities, as well as among officials and even volunteers. With the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Ukrainian economy faced new challenges in terms of doing business, receiving significant financial and material aid from around the world, the growth of remittances, which in turn affected the volume and types of corruption schemes. In particular, fraudulent schemes related to electronic money, crypto-currencies and various virtual assets have become more active. The article examines analytical reports and statistical data of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine regarding the results of a survey of the population of the most corrupt areas, problems related to the detection of corruption in various areas. And also, assessments of the factors that most influence the level of corruption in the wartime period. On the basis of the conducted research, it was determined that today an important direction for reducing the level of corruption is the development of strategic anti-corruption programs that take into account the strengthening of Russian aggression, the activation of cashless payments between individuals and legal entities, the increase in the number of charitable organizations engaged in fundraising and the decrease in the standard of living of the population. To this end, the following directions for reducing the level of corruption in Ukraine are proposed: improvement of normative legal acts on the prevention of corruption, improvement of Ukraine's anti-corruption strategy taking into account today's realities, development of cooperation with international governments and organizations in the field of anti-corruption measures, making changes to the system of mandatory transparent declaration, establishment of rules regarding mandatory reporting of charitable funds and organizations in Ukraine, improvement of legislation regulating virtual markets, markets of crypto currency (other virtual assets) for the purpose of legalization of income.

The article is devoted to the research of peculiarities of the functioning of non-state pension provision. A theoretical analysis of methodical approaches to the organization of activities of non-state pension funds was carried out. The functional components of their activity have been studied. The structural and logical scheme of relationships between the participants of the non-state pension system is presented. The expediency of using a complex approach in researching the specifics of the activity of non-state pension funds is substantiated. A systematic approach was used to investigate theoretical approaches to determining the role and importance of non-state pension provision. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of the current state and quantitative dynamics of non-state pension funds and their administrators. With the help of the system analysis method, the pension contracts of legal entities and individuals were assessed using structural division. Restrictions on the implementation of this process in Ukraine are defined. The factors that restrain the active participation of the population in placing their own savings in non-state pension funds as financial intermediaries have been identified. Contradictions in the formation of pension assets by non-state pension funds were investigated and revealed. Based on this, it was concluded that pension funds are able to mobilize significant amounts of long-term financial resources and transform them into an investment resource for the stabilization and development of not only the country's financial market, but also the economy as a whole. Such approaches make it possible to explore possible options for attracting investment resources and to determine ways to increase their quantitative volumes and qualitative investment in various assets. The dynamics of changes in the quality of asset diversification of non-state pension funds are analyzed. This made it possible to confirm the hypothesis that state securities in the form of state bonds continue to be the predominant investment direction of pension assets. Measures to increase the effectiveness of the functioning of non-state pension funds are proposed. The use of a combined approach to the regulation of the investment activities of pension funds, namely: rules of reasonable behavior and quantitative restrictions on investments of NPFs, will allow solving the main problem of their activity - increasing the efficiency of using the investment potential of non-state pension funds.

The methodology of the conducted research involves the use of general scientific and specific research methods, including analysis and synthesis, retrospective analysis and generalization. This article examines the most general aspects of family business, its current state in wartime conditions, and makes some predictions for the future. The main results of the conducted research showed that the dynamic development of family entrepreneurship in the country requires the adoption of a system of measures aimed at creating favorable institutional conditions, which will make it possible to reach the level of developed countries in the future, where family businesses make up a significant part of the economy. It has been established that family business in Ukraine is characterized by the same features as in other countries, the lack of generations is a national feature, the issue of business inheritance is also open. Attention is focused on the fact that private business is fighting at the front, working in the rear, volunteering to bring our victory closer. Family business remains one of the main factors of stability in the state, which survives in conditions of war, loss of territories, revolutions, hyperinflation, and it can play an important role in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, as it was in other European countries, where families were looking for business ideas , gradually became rich, independently providing themselves and others with work.
