Published: May 2023

Background

Despite significant progress in Nepal’s health indicators over the past three decades, regional disparities in public health centre (PHC) provision and accessibility remain severe. It has been reported that rural dwellers prefer and place more trust in outreach centres (ORCs) run by the Dhulikhel Hospital. However, the reasons behind this remain unclear. We aimed to examine the determinants of Nepalese rural dwellers’ choice of first-contact health facility.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional survey among 1,098 adult rural dwellers in Nepal. The study sample was first divided into PHC and ORC groups, and intergroup differences were tested using Pearson chi-square test and independent sample t-test. Then, binary logistic regression was performed to analyse first-contact health facility decision-making.

Results

Sex, education level, importance of health care satisfaction, importance of free health care, diagnosis of hypertension, diagnosis of diabetes, insurance coverage, savings, community-level cooperation, and distance to the health facility were significant factors affecting the choice of the first-contact health facility. Most significantly, people who were unconcerned about receiving free health care were 19.417 times more likely to use ORCs. Additionally, it was observed that rural dwellers perceived ORCs as providing higher quality health care.

Conclusions

The government must promote cooperation between PHCs and ORCs, as it is essential to understand consumer demand, supply-side issues, and institutional aspects of health care in rural areas to achieve universal access to health care.
Choosing to Diet: The Impact and Cost-effectiveness of China’s Vehicle Ownership Restrictions

Published: May 2023

Can voluntary carbon emission reduction pledges, such as the nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement, result in significant emission reductions? According to prominent experts such as Nordhaus (2015), Barrett (2005), and Weitzman (2019), free-riding is unavoidable in cooperative situations based on voluntary agreements. If their assessments are correct, each country’s nationally determined contribution is unreliable. Countries will strategically promise large cuts while making only minor emission reductions.

Reimagining Religious Life and Social Apostolate
The Case of the Auxiliaires de l'Apostolat
Authors: Dries Bosschaert
Published: May 2023

From their beginnings in 1917 in the Archdiocese of Mechelen in Belgium, the Auxiliaires de l’Apostolat shaped a new form of apostolate: being active as lay women in the modern world, while pursuing a life towards religious perfection. Although this new vocation was not unique, and a number of similar groups emerged at the same time, there was no institutional framework for such groups yet. Therefore, the life and position of these women was an often hard-to-understand identity in church and society, requiring them to constantly negotiate their own identity vis-à-vis institutional normative frameworks. This stalemate was in part a result of a rigid preconciliar belief that the lay faithful were excluded from a life of perfection. Besides, since they were women, there was no possibility to both take vows and at the same time live in the world – a possibility that men did have, for instance in the capacity of a priest. As such, it was partially a gendered concern. In addition, the case of the Auxiliaires de l’Apostolat offers the opportunity to reflect on other areas of tension, for instance when it comes to agency, or tensions between the local and global, as a seamless diocesan recognition did not result equally seamless in recognition by the Sacred Congregation of the Council. The present contribution develops this case in three major phases – their establishment and early development in the 1920s and 1930s, their search for canonical recognition between 1928 and the early 1960s, and the breakthrough that comes during the Second Vatican Council with the almost unpremeditated integration of their identity into the Church's self-understanding, more specifically in the conciliar constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium 41.
Lewis Lead: Reveal the Hidden P Wave
Authors: Harmoko Afandi Dwi , Sulastomo Heru
Published: May 2023

Background. The Lewis lead configuration can help to detect atrial activity and its relationship to ventricular activity, so diagnosis can be achieved more accurately. With Lewis lead ECG, it will make easier to make a diagnosis, especially in identifying electrical activity in the atrium.

Case Illustration. Case 1. A 61-year-old male with decreased consciousness et causa metabolic. From a standard 12-lead ECG, the P waves are difficult to identify, and at first glance it looks like atrial fibrillation. From the Lewis ECG in lead I, it appears that the QRS wave is always preceded by a P wave, with different morphologies (more than 3 forms), that showed as multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT) with a heart rate of 120 beats / minute. Case 2. The 58-year-old male patient complained of typical ischemic chest pain and palpitations. A standard 12 lead ECG examination revealed a rhythmic tachycardia with a wide QRS wave at a rate of 210 beats / minute. From the Lewis ECG in lead I, we can see that the P waves that appear are not always followed by QRS. Thus, it can be seen that the AV dissociation is a VT so that VT management can be done immediately. Case 3. A 65-year-old male patient diagnosed with grade 5 CKD on dialysis. From a standard 12 lead ECG examination, a wide QRS wave with a P wave is obtained which is sometimes seen behind the QRS wave, making the diagnosis difficult to establish. From the Lewis ECG in lead I, it appears that the P wave always appears at the end of the QRS wave, so it can be seen that the rhythm from the ECG is derived from accelerated idioventricular rhythm with ventriculoatrial conduction.

Conclusion. The accuracy of ECG interpretation is needed to determine the next treatment for the patient. Through the ECG examination with the Lewis lead method, the cardiac electrical activity will be more visible, so it will be very helpful in the interpretation of the ECG in cases that are not clear on the standard 12 lead ECG examination.

A non‐destructive measurement of asphalt pavement layer thickness using seismic reflection was adopted together with coring test at similar site for comparison. The test was carried out on pavements around university campus’s road to measure the asphalt pavement layer thickness. The on-site seismic reflection testing was carried out using three piezoelectric sensors to capture time travel of wave motion, a light ball bearing to produce a high frequency seismic wave source and a data logger for data acquisition. The data processing is conducted in the time domain exclusively using a feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) using MATLAB software. A graphical interface is developed for viewing and extracting the result to make the processing of the seismic data feasible and user-friendly. The seismic reflection method analysis using the ANN successfully measured the asphalt pavement layer thickness. This study of the reflection method for measuring the pavement thickness compared with coring indicates the average accuracy of five testing sites was 93%. It shows that the seismic reflection able to demonstrate the capability to measure thickness of pavement in non-destructive way at a reliable accuracy.

Nutrient flow into waterways and soils has rapidly causing eutrophication, which causes ecological instability, dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion, extinction of aquatic species, and perhaps public health risks. Therefore, this study focuses on the determination of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) in soil and plants in the Parit Rasipan drainage system due to the livestock farming area. The water quality of the drainage system is being monitored. Soil and plant at the study area have been collected bygrid sampling method at 4 sampling points on wet and dry seasons for N determination using APHA 4500 NORG-B and PK using US EPA 6010B (ICP OES) methods, respectively. In addition, water quality has been monitored in situ for pH, DO, and temperature by a HI 98192 HANNA multiparameter instrument, while water samples were collected and analyzed for selected parameters including total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) using the HACH DR6000 Spectrophotometer and potassium (K) by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).The results of this study show that the concentrations of TN (3380–6290 mg/kg), TP (450-820 mg / kg) and K (381–931 mg/kg) in the soil are classified as moderate to very high. Due to the high concentration, TN (5270–6870 mg/kg), TP (262-769 mg / kg) and K (10200–16200 mg/kg) concentrations in plants are also high. For water quality monitoring, the data shows (pH 6.1-6.4), (DO 0.8–1.1 mg/L), and (temperature 26.6-29.2 ̊C) both in wet and dry seasons. The concentrations of TN, TP and K (average ± s.d)concentrations in water during the wet season are (TN 43 ± 1mg/L), (TP 0.4 ± 1mg/L) and (K 3.9 ± 0.2mg/L) while during the dry season are (TN 49 ± 1mg/L), (TP 0.7 ± 1mg/L) and (K 4.2 ± 0.2mg/L). In conclusion, from the analysis of the results, the Parit Rasipan drainage system has a high level of NPK in both the wet and dry seasons due to the livestock activities in the area.

Developing a sustainable co-curricular syllabus incorporating competency elements across all three learning domains -cognitive, psychomotor, and affective is challenging. However, this paper focuses on the affective domain, crucial in shaping students' personalities and forming positive values. The study presented here aims to identify the competency elements required for the affective domain in developing the co-curricular Silat syllabus. Thisstudy employed a qualitative research method and gathered data through interview sessions with six Silat experts from PESAKA Malaysia. The experts were asked open-ended questions to guide their opinions on the competency elements in the affective domain. The interview sessions were conducted in an organised workshop where the experts were briefed on the purpose of the interview. The information revealed by the experts was recorded, transformed into transcripts, and analysed using the thematic method. The study's findings revealed that the competency elements required for the affective domain in the co-curricular Silat syllabus are good values, civility, athletic abilities, respect, and morality. These elements are vital in the affective learning domains that shape the personality and competencyof the students in their co-curricular subjects. Theidentified competency elements for the affective domain in the co-curricular Silat syllabuswill aid in shaping students' personalities, forming positive values, and improving their abilities. It is recommended that further studies be conducted to identify competency elements in the cognitive and psychomotor domains, which will contribute to developing a comprehensive and sustainable co-curricular syllabus.

Published: May 2023

Psychedelic drugs are currently being investigated for their potential to facilitate a variety of long-lasting psychological changes. One area of psychological functioning that has yet to be systematically investigated in psychedelic research regards aesthetic experiences. This is surprising given the notable acute changes in perception induced by the drugs as well as the wealth of anecdotal reports of individuals reporting increased engagement in aesthetic experiences after psychedelic use. The current study was designed to address this gap in the literature by administering a validated measure of aesthetic experience one-week before, one-week after, and one-month after participants (N = 54) attended an ayahuasca retreat center. Participants also completed surveys indexing the extent to which they endorsed mystical-type experiences, awe, and ego dissolution during their ayahuasca sessions to identify potential predictors of long-term change. We found that compared to baseline, participants exhibited increased levels of aesthetic experience at both follow-ups. Measures of acute drug effects did not predict changes in aesthetic experience. Although the study was limited by an open-label design, the results support anecdotal reports regarding changes in aesthetic experience after psychedelic use and provide important groundwork for future study.
Examining relations between left-wing authoritarianism and environmentalism
Authors: Milfont Taciano L , Osborne Danny
Published: May 2023

Individuals who endorse system-justifying ideologies are less likely to uphold pro-environmental orientations. Indeed, Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) correlate negatively with environmentalism. Yet recent theorising and empirical findings suggest that authoritarianism may also serve left-wing goals. Extending past research, we report new cross-cultural data (US, N = 512; New Zealand, N = 447) examining the associations between Left-Wing Authoritarianism (LWA) and environmentalism, and whether the LWA–environmentalism associations mirror correlations observed for RWA and SDO. Results showed that environmentalism correlates positively with LWA and negatively with both RWA and SDO. Collectively, our results demonstrate that endorsement of right-wing authoritarian leanings is more detrimental to environmental protection than the rejection of left-wing authoritarian leanings. We discuss the implications of our results for the field’s understanding of LWA and ways to address environmental problems.

Agricultural waste is the residues from growing and processing raw agricultural products. They can be properly managed using fungi to produce economical materials such as pectinase enzymes that act as biological agents which are applicable in many areas. This research was aimed at producing pectinase by fungal-based solid-state fermentation of agricultural wastes. Fungi were isolated from dump sites soil using the pour plate method. These fungal isolates were inoculated into the pretreated agricultural waste, including watermelon, mango, and pineapple peels. The degradation period was 15 days on mineral salt solid media using separate flasks for each waste and fungus. They were incubated at room temperature (28°C). The pectinase was assayed using pectin and DNSA (dinitrosalicyclic acid). Fungal isolates were identified and screened for pectinase production using standard methods. The pH and temperature were optimized to study the effect on pectinase activities using standard procedures and pectinase was purified using column sephadex G-100. Molecular identifications were carried out on the isolates using 18srRNA gene primers. The fungi were identified as Aspergillus niger strain AGF3 (OM273994), Penicillium Chrysogenum strain AGF2 (OM273982) and Cladosporium tenuissimum strain AGF1 (OM273981). Aspergillus niger strain AGF3 (OM273994) produced the highest specific pectinase activities in mango waste (2400 U/mg. protein/ mL and it can be compared to what was produced by Cladosporium tenuissimum strain AGF1 (OM273981) (1590 U/mg. protein/mL). High specific pecrtinase activity was also obtained from pineapple peels (2200 U/mg. protein/mL) produced by Cladosporium tenussimum strain AGF1 (OM273981). It can be concluded in this study that Aspergillus niger strain AGF3 (OM273994) and Cladosporium tenuissimum strain AGF1 (OM273981) were the best producers of pectinase using mango and pineapple peels, while Penicillium chrysogenum strain AGF2 (OM273982) produced substantial pectinase in all the three agricultural wastes but not at higher levels.

Mosquitoes are small, midget flies that transmit harmful infections such as malaria, yellow fever, and dengue fever in Nigeria. Its control using a synthetic insecticide is becoming increasingly difficult due to high cost, persistence in the environment, and development of resistance by the mosquitoes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the adulticidal activity of crude ethanolic extract of the above ground parts of Laggera pterodonta and Laggera aurita against adult Anopheles gambiae. Dried Laggera pterodonta and Laggera aurita were individually macerated with 70% ethanol to obtain the crude extract. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of saponin, flavonoids and terpenoids in both Laggera pterodonta and Laggera aurita while tanins and alkaloids were present in Laggera aurita only. The extracts were tested against 4-5 days old laboratory-reared adult Anopheles gambiae. The findings revealed that the adulticidal lethal concentration LC50 of L. pterodonta crude extract was 4553 mg/L while the LC50 of L. aurita was 5582 mg/L. The result suggests the extracts are potential natural insecticides against adult An. gambiae mosquitoes.

It is mostly conducted through multilateral activities on a global, regional, and bilateral level, including cooperation from the United Nations and its specialized agencies. There are both opportunities and risks in development diplomacy. Therefore, it should be conducted very cautiously and efficiently. Even despite collective efforts internally and externally, Nepal is still lagging to make notable progress in the development arena with an adverse effect on the living standard and welfare of the people. There is a common understanding and consensus among the experts that Nepal should act simultaneously to receive foreign assistance in national priority areas through proper development diplomacy and attract foreign direct investment to increase national production by focusing on export-led economy. For effective conduct of development diplomacy, basic elements such as proven competence, skillful negotiation, good quality of public communications, knowledge about cultural and social aspects, and ample experience to manage public affairs are required. The personnel working in Nepal's diplomatic missions abroad need to be professionally trained and intellectually equipped.

Authors: Bhattarai Dinesh
Published: May 2023

Foreign policy has a great bearing on a country’s sovereign and independent status as well as overall development. For a country like Nepal sitting in a highly sensitive geopolitical location between China and India that are becoming major global powers, a whole of government approach integrating into itself a coherent, consistent, and credible economic policy alone produces a sovereign and independent foreign policy. No policy works in isolation. Correct communication, coordination, and collaboration between government departments and ministries are essential for any policy to succeed and be effective at home and abroad. The strength of the country abroad comes from strength at home. For a country like Nepal diplomacy stands as its tool of first and last resort. Economic strength is the key to national strength and comprehensive national power. The following paragraphs discuss the close connection between socio-economic transformation and political transformation, and past efforts made to promote economic diplomacy. The moment there appears a disconnect between managing geopolitics and speeding the process of economic transformation, the country becomes a fertile ground for geopolitical play. The write-up towards the end puts up some suggestions to make diplomacy for developing effective and result oriented for the country’s development.

Authors: Sahni Madhu
Published: May 2023

The term female well-being was first used by Noble Laureate Amartya Sen in 1992. Women's well-being in Haryana tackles the complexities of social change and illustrate the most critical challenges (gender discrimination, violence, and honor killings) that women are facing in the present scenario despite globalization, modernization, and development in all spheres of life. Women's well-being is studied by analyzing infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate and life expectancy, literacy and level of education, work status and income level, family structure, and political power. The trends in women's well-being are contextualized in light of the legislative provisions, women's social welfare policies, and movements that enhance, empower, sustain, or detract the women's condition in the state. The present study is an attempt to explore women's well-being based on social institutions, gender concerns, socio-demographic profile, and educational, economic, and political dynamics and interpret significant transformation in women's lives over the years in Haryana. In this descriptive study, quantitative and qualitative techniques were used to explore women's well-being in the state. The present investigation is based on primary and secondary sources as well. However, the present research sketches social institutions, gender concerns, and the status of women in Haryana, but it is mainly concerned with the women's well-being concepts, issues, and future perspectives. The present research has implications for center and state governments, policy-makers and non-governmental organizations, academicians, and social thinkers.

Концепція викладання хімічних дисциплін для майбутніх харчових технологів
Authors: Гулай Ольга , Мороз Ірина , Шемет Василина
Published: May 2023

Глобальні тенденції спричиняють зміни у змісті освітніх програм загалом і кожної освітньої компоненти зокрема. Стаття присвячена обґрунтуванню стратегії вивчення майбутніми харчовими технологами хімічних дисциплін, спрямованих на формування компетентностей, що сприятимуть поліпшенню особистого та суспільного здоров’я і добробуту, забезпеченню вимог сталого розвитку і охорони довкілля.

Мета статті полягає в обґрунтуванні дидактичних засад викладання хімічних дисциплін для бакалаврів спеціальності 181 Харчові технології у Луцькому національному технічному університеті. Використано теоретичні методи дослідження − аналіз, синтез, моделювання для визначення теоретичних основ дослідження та аргументування його результатів.

На основі компаративного аналізу освітніх програм провідних ЗВО України схарактеризовано обсяг та логічну послідовність викладання хімічних дисциплін у ЛНТУ. Провідними дидактичними принципами побудови їх змісту є професійне спрямування та інтегрування із фаховими дисциплінами. Завдяки паралельному вивченню у першому семестрі дисциплін «Загальна та неорганічна хімія» та «Органічна хімія» здобувачі на основі актуалізації вивченого у школі здобувають базові знання та вміння, необхідні для подальшого успішного опанування значно складніших дисциплін. Це «Аналітична хімія» і

«Фізична та колоїдна хімія» – дисципліни другого семестру, що займають провідне місце в системі теоретичної та практичної підготовки фахівця у галузі харчових технологій. Завершальною у циклі хімічних дисциплін є біохімія, яку вивчають протягом третього семестру. Здобувачі вивчають не лише структуру та динамічні перетворення речовин, з яких складається організм людини і які вона споживає як їжу, але й розглядають властивості та біохімічні зміни, пов’язані із зберіганням та технологічною обробкою сировини та продуктів.

Апробовані у навчальному процесі ЛНТУ дисципліни хімічного циклу тісно пов’язані, логічно структуровані і зорієнтовані на забезпечення результатів навчання, які становитимуть основу майбутньої професійної компетентності фахівців спеціальності 181 Харчові технології.
