Authors: Pokharel Apar , Panta Basanta
Published: December 2024

Background Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive technique commonly used to restore sinus ventilation and function under direct visualization. A small amount of bleeding can obscure the surgical field. Block of greater palatine fossa (GPF) through the greater palatine foramen via trans-oral approach may be used as technique for controlling bleeding during FESS. The objective of this study is to see the study the effect of GPF block on intraoperative bleeding during endoscopic sinus surgery.MethodsThis was a quasi experimental study was conducted on 34 patients undergoing surgery in COMS-TH, Bharatpur, Chitwan during a period of 1 year. Unilateral Trans Oral infiltration of the GPF with 2 mL of 2% lidocaine and 1:80,000 adrenalin was done, and other side was infiltrated with normal saline.ResultsIn our study, the endoscopic surgical field grade between normal saline and 2 mL of 2% lidocaine and 1:80,000 adrenaline suggested that GPF block group has significantly lesser bleed than saline infiltrated side.Conclusions In our study, the GPF block group maintained a lower surgical grade during the entire duration of surgery when compared to normal saline.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: VO2max, a measure of the maximum oxygen uptake during physical exertion, is a critical indicator of cardiovascular fitness. Evaluating VO2max in young adults helps in understanding their fitness levels and guiding improvements. This study aimed to assess normal VO2max levels and investigate the relationships between oxygen saturation (SpO2) and VO2max, as well as between blood pressure and VO2max, in both male and female participants.
Methods: A total of 93 students (45 males, 48 females) aged 18 to 25 years from Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara, were selected through simple random sampling. VO2max was estimated using the Queen’s College Step Test (QCT), a widely accepted indirect method to assess cardiorespiratory fitness. QCT provides a convenient way to evaluate maximum oxygen uptake in a non-laboratory setting.
Results: The mean VO2max for male participants was 62.00±8.77 ml/kg/min, while for females, it was 41.79±3.18 ml/kg/min. Males exhibited significantly higher VO2max values compared to females (p<0.001). Both diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.013) and SpO2 (p < 0.001) were found to have a significant influence on VO2max in female but not changed in the male.
Conclusions: This study confirms that gender-related differences in cardiovascular fitness exist, with males generally showing higher endurance levels compared to females. The lower VO2max values observed in females were primarily associated with variations in SpO2 and diastolic blood pressure. These findings highlight the importance of considering physiological variables such as oxygen saturation and blood pressure in the assessment of female cardiorespiratory fitness.

Published: December 2024

Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is a popular poultry species which is able to adopt wide range of climatic condition and called by charismas chicken. A study was conducted in Swine and Avian Research Program, Khumaltar, Lalitpur to evaluate the egg production, fertility and hatchability of turkey in intensive and semi-intensive production system. This study was carried out from April 2019 to July 2020 that included 80 female and 16 male breeding turkeys. Among them 40 female and 8 male were kept under each system. In semi-intensive system turkeys started to lay eggs within 41 weeks and 10 % eggs production was received in 45 weeks whereas in intensive system one week more time was taken in both aspects. The hatchability in semi-intensive system was found 79.33±6.13 % whereas 43.09±9.70 % in case of intensive system. In case of fertility, in semi-intensive system it was found 84.77±2.98% and 53.68±5.40 % in intensive system. The eggs production was also much more different in both systems. In semi-intensive system, it was found 36.89±15.78 % and only 31.90±12.45% in intensive system. In the main breeding season from February to July per bird produced only 67 eggs in semi-intensive system and 58 in intensive system. The factors such as production system and months were significantly influenced (P<0.001) in all productive traits. In both system, egg production and hatchability was more in April, May and June so this three month called peak egg production in Turkey. The hatchability of Turkey reared under semi-intensive system was much better which might be due to their grazing habit which helped to decrease aggressiveness of turkeys and did not disturb during matting time. Similarly, the wound in back of female turkey was less in semi-intensive system.Therefore semi-intensive production system is better in turkey for egg production, fertility and hatchability.

Published: December 2024

The objective of this work is to develop a theoretical model, to study the effect of quantum species, activation potential, current density, and temperature on the performance of Pt/C catalysts in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs). For this we modified Butler-Volmer equations and analyzing I-V characteristics, the observation shows lower activation potential of 40 mV yields better performance compared to 55 mV. The effect of temperature was observed showing that increased in temperatures can mitigate carbon support corrosion and decline the performance of PEMFCs. Also increasing the electron flow per reaction cycle decrease the performance of PEMFCs by screening the flow of electron by quantum species formed around anode of PEMFCs. This result bring negative voltage and power, highlighting the complex interplay between these factors. The results underscore the importance of optimizing activation potential and managing temperature to enhance PEMFCs performance and longevity.

Authors: Gosai Saroj Raj
Published: December 2024

The traditional Nepalese delicacy Juju Dhau (known as “king yogurt” in Nepal Bhasa) holds a distinctive flavor and profound cultural significance, especially within the Newari communities of Bhaktapur. Traditionally crafted in clay pots that absorb moisture and insulated with rice husks, the preparation method has persisted across generations, preserving its unique taste and cultural relevance despite shifts in food preferences and advancements in dairy production technology. Beyond its culinary appeal, Juju Dhau has considerable economic value, contributing to Bhaktapur’s economy and providing employment opportunities for many locals. This delicacy has also transcended its traditional roots, gaining popularity among a broader audience and promoting Newari cultural heritage. Despite its significance, there has been limited academic exploration of Juju Dhau’s impact on both cultural identity and economic growth. This study addresses this gap by investigating how Newari cultural practices, exemplified by Juju Dhau, serve as a source of income for the local population. Employing field observations, document analysis, and interviews, the research underscores the critical role of cultural identity as both a symbol and a financial resource for the community.

Published: December 2024

In agriculture, understanding the role of moisture on crop growth and yield and establishing a proper moisture regime are prime factors for production. This research was conducted in the Horticulture Farm of Lamjung Campus in June-September 2019 to evaluate the effect of four irrigation regimes (25%, 50%, 75% and 100% based on field capacity) in flowering, fruiting, and yield of tomato. Each treatment was replicated ten times, considering a Completely Randomized Design under the plastic house in the spacing of 60 cm × 75 cm fitted along with drips of holes at 30 cm for irrigation. A significant effect (p<0.05) of moisture regime was found in flower cluster per plant, flowers per cluster, fruit set percentage, fruits per cluster, fruits/plant/plot, and yield per plant. The results revealed that an increase in moisture regime positively affects the yield per plant and other flowering fruiting characteristics. The average number of fruits per cluster (5.54), total number of fruits per plant (19.6) and total fruit per plot (196) were found to be significantly higher under 100% FC. The highest yield, 426.26 g/plant, was obtained under the condition of 100% FC. Thus, for more flowers, fruiting and yield tomatoes should be grown under higher moisture conditions.

Authors: Tamang Bal Bahadur , Singh Ajaya
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we study the solvability of quadratic Diophantine equations x2 - Dy2 =N, where x and y are unknown integers, and D is a positive integer that is a square free and N is a nonzero integer. We use elementary and quadratic ring methods to find integer solutions of these equations. These methods involve concepts like units, fundamental units, norms, and conjugates in quadratic rings. We propose efficient algorithms to solve the equations for cases where |N| > \sqrt{D} and |N| < \sqrt{D}. The algorithms include the continued fraction algorithm, periodic quadratic algorithm, Lagrange-Matthew-Mollin algorithm, and brute-force search. These algorithms can be implemented in programming languages. Finally, we compare the algorithms and analyze their time complexity.

Authors: Sherpa Pasang
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the role of customary governance in the sustainable management of natural resources within the Ngishyangba community of Upper Manang. The study is grounded in empirical research conducted in two phases, in 2014 and 2022, utilizing key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and observational methods to explore how traditional Mithewa system facilitate cooperation, resolve conflicts, and adapt to external pressures such as climate change, tourism, and state interventions. The study highlights intricate relationship between customary governance and social dynamics in the sustainable management of natural resources within this high-altitude region. The study explains the complex construct and interaction of Mithewa system, with the community and its surrounding, for the management of the natural resources and maintaining harmony in the society. In explaining the effective function of Mithewa, the study also highlights the concurrent worldview of Ngishyangba people, using ethno ecological framework. The framework unravels the Ngishyangba’s intrinsic relationship with their environment and how such interconnectivity is realized, through their worldview based on spirituality, traditional occupation, rituals and practices, and decision-making process. The Ngishyangba, Indigenous communities in Nepal exhibits robust and intricate connections with the land, forests, and other natural resources, spanning social, cultural, spiritual, religious, and economic dimensions. They have their own customary laws and practices in sustainable management of forest, agriculture, and pasture lands. These resources not only serve as the foundation of their livelihoods but are also deeply interwoven with their worldviews and ways of life. The Mithewa customary governance practices have been functioning effectively addressing socio-cultural conflicts, sustainable management of natural resources, and distribution. These governing bodies plays an integral role in sustaining traditional knowledge and customary practices in natural resource use and management. They also play an equally important role in maintaining the peace, unity and harmony within the community by addressing the grievances and conflicts arising in the community.

Authors: Adhikari Pralhad
Published: December 2024

People of diverse sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) community are a minority in the society all over the world including Nepal. They face stigma, prejudice, discrimination, and lack of opportunities in society, and hence are expected to have more mental distress than other persons of binary categories (i.e., male and female), as predicted by minority stress theory. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress (common name: psychological distress) among LGBTQI+ persons of Nepal. A survey was conducted among 244 participants (Mage =25.8 years, SD=7.94) using socio demographic questions and the DASS-21. Depression, anxiety, and stress were seen in 75.4%, 85.7%, and 60.2% of SOGI diverse people. Depression, anxiety, and stress correlated significantly with each other but not with age or no. of close friends. Having income and coming out affected depression. Having family’s unconditional support affected stress. Family’s knowing about participants’ SOGI status affected depression and anxiety. The conclusion is that SOGI diverse people have more depression, anxiety, and stress than people from binary categories. Some social factors like having income, getting family support, and opening up about SOGI status are responsible for the mental distress of SOGI minority people. Psychosocial interventions are urgently needed to help the SOGI minority people lessen their mental distress and promote their mental health.

Published: December 2024

As the oldest cosmopolitan city in Indonesia, Palembang has a diverse range of ethnic groups that interact on political, economic, and religious levels. Among these groups, the Sayyid Hadhrami community, descendants of the Prophet Muhammad who came from Hadramawt, South Yemen, actively preached Islam and engaged in trade in Palembang from the mid-18th century. While numerous studies have explored the Sayyid Hadrami's activities on the island of Java, few have focused on their role in Palembang. This article examines the political, economic, and religious of Sayyid Hadhrami in Palembang from the 18th to the 21st centuries. The study employs qualitative research using a historical approach. This study found that during the 18th – 19th centuries, the Sayyid Hadhrami served as clerics for Palembang propagators of Islam and intermediaries of Indian Ocean trade. Following the collapse of the Palembang sultanate in the 20th - 21st centuries, the Hadhrami community established their own religious regime. Central to their identity is their role in propagating Islam and their affiliation with the Tarekat Alawiyah, a Sufi Order originating from the Hadhrami Sayyids. Religious traditions in the Tarekat Alawiyah include Ziarah, Mawlid, and Haul. The Sayyid Hadhrami in Palembang Sucessfully transformed trade capital into religious capital to maintain their religious authority.
THE NECESSITY OF REVISING ALGERIAN URBAN PLANNING REGULATIONS TO MEET USERS' THERMAL COMFORT NEEDS: INTEGRATING THERMAL COMFORT AS A REQUIREMENT IN BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS - A CASE STUDY
Authors: Toumi Fahmi  , Tartar Nassima
Published: December 2024

The article addresses the importance of updating Algerian urban planning legislation to include thermal comfort standards in buildings, particularly in light of Executive Decree No. 15-19. Although this decree focuses on the engineering and administrative aspects of construction, it overlooks thermal comfort standards that ensure a comfortable and healthy environment for residents. According to international standards such as ISO 7730, details about temperature, humidity, and ventilation should be included in the design stages to ensure thermal comfort. However, Algerian legislation lacks these standards, leading to uncomfortable environments inside buildings. The article recommends amending the executive decree to incorporate thermal comfort standards into the building permit procedures, with the need to train architects and designers on applying these standards. Legislative updates will improve the quality of life in buildings and enhance their energy efficiency, contributing to their sustainability.

Genesis of theoretical taxation concepts
Authors: МАРТИНЕНКО В. В.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the research. The main objective of the article is to study the source base of the origin of taxes in social development and in the history of economic teachings to form the genesis of theoretical concepts of taxation. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological base of the research is the scientific works of scientists that analyze tax relations. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: theoretical generalization, comparison, monographic method, systematic approach, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, chronologization, historical method, etc. Results. As a result of the research, the existence of the mutual influence of the periodization of the development of tax relations on the main economic doctrines of taxation to form the genesis of theoretical concepts of taxation was substantiated. It is proved that in the course of social development the attitude towards the phenomenon of taxation changed from total rejection due to the small significance in the Ancient times to the main regulator of the cyclicality of the economy in the twentieth century. It was found that the focus of the theory of taxation focuses on the nature of the tax - from the instrument of robbery to the only means of fair redistribution of income. It is substantiated that in the course of the evolution of economic studies, the principle of tax liberalization, which is now dominant both in scientific literature and in public administration, became the key principle in taxation. Practical meaning. The practical significance of the study lies in the applied nature of the proposed methodological support, which can be used in the study of other types of financial relations in society, in particular budgetary ones. Prospects for further research and development of the author will be the prospects of synthesis of theoretical concepts of taxation on the formation of conceptual and methodological foundations of tax reform of Ukrainian legislation in the conditions of decentralization of power.
