Effectiveness of Social Health Insurance Program in Nepal: Challenges and Recommendations
Authors: Timilsina Bishnu Hari
Published: May 2024

The article explores into the concept of health insurance in Nepal as a means of financial protection against unexpected medical expenses. It outlines commitment to providing fundamental health care as a citizen's right and the challenges faced in Nepal to achieving this goal. The study highlights the initiation and expansion of the Social Health Insurance Program, marking to suggestion financial security to individuals and families during illness. Despite progress, economic, social, and institutional barriers hinder many citizens' access to adequate health services. The paper emphasizes the importance of health insurance for low and middle-income families, addressing concerns of economic hardship due to healthcare costs. Challenges in the implementation of the program are discussed, including issues related to organizational systems, service delivery, infrastructure, and budgetary constraints. The need for collaboration between government bodies, quality improvement in healthcare facilities, and better management of health workers is emphasized. The successful implementation of health insurance in Nepal is seen as a pivotal step towards achieving universal health coverage, alleviating financial burdens on citizens, and contributing to national development goals and international commitments.
The Nexus of Remittances, Imports, and Private Investments with Nepal's Economic Expansion
Authors: Kadel Dhaka Ram , Patodiya Pawan Kumar
Published: May 2024

This study examines the nexus of remittances, imports, and private investments with Nepal’s economic expansion. The study uses annual data from mid-July 1976 to mid-July 2022. Gross domestic product (GDP) at a constant price is considered an indicator of economic expansion. The data is processed for the long-run connection adopting the bound testing technique of autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL), and the short-run trends are confirmed by deploying an error correction model (ECM) generated from the ARDL model. The Granger causality test determines the cause-and-effect connection. The evidence-based findings from ARDL establish that the link between Nepal's GDP and remittances is positive and insignificant in the short and long spans of time, while it is significant as well as positive with imports. It is, however, negative and insignificant with private investment. Similarly, unidirectional causation connecting GDP and remittances, imports and GDP, and remittances and private investments is demonstrated by the Granger causality evaluation.

The objective of this study was to analyze the development dynamic of the Uruguayan dairy farms in the last decade integrating country, experimental and commercial databases. A large commercial dairy farm database was segmented into four groups according to productivity and growth rate (PGR) during the fiscal years 2015/2016 to 2021/2022. Productivity growth rate was calculated as: PGR = (P2122/P1516)1/6-1, where: P2122 = productivity fiscal year 2021/22, and P1516 = productivity fiscal year 2015/2016. The PGR groups were defined as: negative (NPGR; PGR < 0% per year), low (LPGR; 0 ≤ PGR < 3%), medium (MPGR; 3 ≤ PGR ≤ 6%) and high productivity growth rate (HPGR; PGR ≥ 6%). A mixed model was used to evaluate productivity slope heterogeneity with fiscal year as a continuous variable, PGR group as categorical and their interaction. Farms that were able to increase productivity (M and H PGR) had higher mean productivity, pasture DMI and margin over feed cost vs. the less dynamic systems (N and L PGR). Larger changes in productivity (+64 and +27% for H and M PGR, respectively) were likely primarily due to changes in stocking rate (+20 to 30%) and in individual cow milk production (+10 to 20%). Production systems that increased productivity relied on increasing stocking rate and individual milk production based on more home-grown forage consumption. However, higher PGR was linked to lower initial values of productivity, which suggests decreasing returns as the dairy farms reached higher milk yields and forage DMI.
La política social de la cuarta transformación. ¿Una ruptura populista?
Authors: Barba Solano Carlos
Published: May 2024

Las preguntas rectoras de este trabajo son dos: ¿Hasta qué punto la nueva política social (PS), que se ha ido configurando a partir de 2019, implica una ruptura respecto a la PS de los gobiernos neoliberales de las últimas cuatro décadas? ¿Es acertado definir esta nueva PS como populista?
¿Populismo o proximidad? Variaciones de la política inmediata
Authors: Annunziata Rocío
Published: May 2024

El término “populismo” parece participar hoy de múltiples estiramientos conceptuales. Por ejemplo, con respecto a su vínculo con la democracia: durante los últimos años se han catalogado como populistas a gobiernos que tienen rasgos simplemente autoritarios, que limitan la libertad de expresión o persiguen opositores, cuando sería más parsimonioso seguir entendiendo estas experiencias como las típicas situaciones de iliberalismo o autoritarismo que llevan la democracia al límite (Rosanvallon, 2020). En este capítulo nos concentraremos en otro frecuente estiramiento conceptual, que atañe a la relación entre populismo y representación política. Se tiende a encontrar características populistas en todas las experiencias de representación basadas en liderazgos personales que se presentan como outsiders y que establecen una comunicación directa con la ciudadanía. Este trabajo busca contribuir a enfrentar este segundo estiramiento conceptual, proponiendo partir de un concepto de mayor grado de generalidad, la “política inmediata”, para luego diferenciar entre un tipo populista y un tipo que denominaremos “de proximidad”.

Published: May 2024

Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) are very popular birds to have as companion animals as they are easy to manage. Despite the intense number of breeders, there are still many difficulties related to their reproductive management and scarce studies in the area. The present work addresses one of the treatments of integrative medicine still little explored in in veterinary medicine, the chromotherapy technique. It is a holistic vibrational/energetic color therapy, with the aim of evaluating the effect of using chromotherapy on the behavior and well-being of animals. The study was carried out with the use of two couples from a breeder located in the city of Votorantim. The birds were divided into two groups, the control group (CG; n = 2) and the treated group (TG; n = 2). In the control group, the birds were kept in a nursery without environmental enrichment and without the base colors of chromotherapy. In the treated group, the birds were in a vivarium with colored toys (environmental enrichment) and with feeders and drinkers of the main colors of chromotherapy. For behavioral evaluation, an ethogram was used. It was observed that there was lower occurrence of infant deaths (TG = 36%; GC= 71%) and no occurrence of chronic posture (TG = 0; CG = 2) for TG when compared to CG. According to the conditions proposed in this work, it is suggested that chromotherapy associated with environmental enrichment positively influences the well-being of the birds, reducing the number of chronic postures and deaths of chicks.

This study was designed to check for the microbiological quality of non-sterile products retailed in Anyigba. The use of contaminated non-sterile pharmaceutical products can cause hazards in a majority of ways like economic loss to the industrialists, alter the therapeutic effect of the drug and affect the health of a patient. A total of 10 samples were collected; the isolated organisms were characterized and identified by using morphological, cultural and biochemical tests. The organisms isolated were Staphylococcus aureus, E.coli and Pseudomonas spp, Aspergillus spp, Mucorspp, Saccharomyces spp and Rhizopus spp. The percentage of the isolate includes S. aureus 37 (45.7%), E.coli 16 (19.7%) Pseudomonas spp 28 (34.5%) to safeguard the product from contamination, it is important to ensure that good manufacturing practices such as raw material testing, equipment sanitization and automation, microbial testing of water, training of personnel, post marking surveillance, monitoring of environment among others were employed. The focus should also be on surveillance and effective monitoring of the distribution and marketing of pharmaceutical products. Local regulatory agencies such as the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON), and the National Agency for Food,drug administration and Control (NAFDAC) should always ensure that all pharmaceuticals released into the market for sales and consumption should conform to specifications and are fit for their intended use.
Adverse Impacts of Climate Change on Food Production, Security and Food Chains
Authors: Patarkalashvili Tamaz
Published: May 2024

In spite of the considerable progress in reducing hunger during last several decades about a billion people in the world are chronically undernourished. Millions of children in the world under five years hindered attaining their proper growth because of malnutrition. Billions of people lack the essential micronutrients they need to lead healthy lives. According to FAO estimation to satisfy the growing demand driven by population growth and dietary changes, food production will have to increase by about 60 per cent till 2050. It isn’t enough to have sufficient food produced globally to meet the demand, but that everybody always had access to it in the enough quantity and quality. According to the United Nations about a billion people in the world live in extreme poverty (less than 1.25 USD a day). At least 70 percent of very poor people live in rural areas and are depending partly or completely on agriculture for their livelihoods. It is estimated that about half of billion of smallholder farms in the developing world support almost two billion people. In Asia and sub-Saharan Africa these small farms produce about 80 percent of the consumed food.
Alfa Cronbacha – co daje dobre wyniki? Kilka uwag dotyczących budowania kwestionariuszy psychologicznych
Authors: Rak Tomasz , Wrześniowski Szymon
Published: May 2024

Cokolwiek mierzy alfa Cronbacha – nie jest to spójność wewnętrzna, powszechnie błędnie rozumiana w psychologii jako średnia siła związków pomiędzy pozycjami kwestionariusza. W tym artykule badamy powody, dla których rozumienie alfa jako spójności wewnętrznej jest błędne i skupiamy się na działaniu inflacji (przeszacowania) współczynnika alfa w praktyce. Na bazie symulacji komputerowych określiliśmy dokładny (wspólny) wpływ na wartość alfa: liczby respondentów, zakresu skal pomiarowych (Likerta), liczby pytań w kwestionariuszu (itemów) oraz średniej korelacji między pozycjami. Wyniki potwierdzają występowanie inflacji poziomu alfa ze względu na liczbę pytań: alfa osiąga zadowalające wartości nawet przy minimalnej spójności wewnętrznej, jeśli w kwestionariuszu jest dużo itemów. Sugerujemy, że w przypadku słabych narzędzi pomiarowych rzetelność może być przeszacowywana ze względu na prezentowany tu krzywolinowy wzrost alfa. Liczba osób badanych i zakres skali nie miały wpływu na wartość alfa.

Published: May 2024

Amylases are a class of biocatalyst enzymes that may break down the amylase biomass that is produced by many different microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria, and is found in the natural environment. The generation of amylase by an isolated amylase-producing microbe is the focus of the current study. Three soil samples from various locations in the Peshawar region were taken in order to isolate the strain that produces amylase. Using iodine solution and activity zone approaches, all isolated colonies were tested. Only three bacterial colonies out of 16 strains produced amylase in a favourable manner. Tests using morphological and biochemical analysis were then used to characterize these bacterial isolates, which were given the names MB7, MD2, and MD4.

Published: May 2024

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between generalized anxiety disorder and cannabis usage within the general population. Furthermore, the study aimed to explore the levels of generalized anxiety disorder among individuals with different demographic characteristics associated with cannabis use. A total of 123 individuals with a history of cannabis use participated in the study. Data were collected from male participants aged 18 and above at the Khyber Teaching Hospital OPD. A standardized Urduâtranslated version of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) scale was utilized to assess symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. The findings revealed that various demographic characteristics, such as younger age, education level, and socioeconomic status, were significantly associated with generalized anxiety disorder. This suggests that younger individuals with lower levels of education and socioeconomic status were more vulnerable to developing anxiety symptoms among cannabis users. The study's findings may be beneficial for targeted interventions and for identifying the challenges faced by individuals from various demographic backgrounds who use cannabis.

Authors: Hang Vu Thi Thuy , Bach Nguyen Duy , Cham Le Thi Tuyet
Published: May 2024

Mulches have been widely applied in crop production in order to minimize water requirements, preserve soil moisture, and curb weed growth for higher yield and water use efficiency. This research aimed to assess the impact of organic mulches on peanut productivity in the coastal areas of Thanh Hoa province. The experiment was carried out during the 2019 spring growing season. A split pot design was used with two peanut cultivars (L14 & L23) as the main plots and five types of mulching materials (clear plastic, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse, water hyacinth, and bare soil) as the subplots. It was  revealed that rice straw exhibited a positive influence on the growth attributes and yield of peanuts, comparable to clear plastic and other organic mulch materials. Notably, rice straw contributed to enhanced plant growth, dry matter production, pod filling, and yield. Additionally, the net return of rice straw application was also the highest. The results suggested that organic mulching materials (rice straw and plant residues) can be effectively used for peanuts because of their availability and biodegradability as an eco-friendly agricultural practice.

Authors: MALATJI K. P. , MASHELA P. W. , POFU K. M.
Published: May 2024

Nemafric-BL phytonematicide is a potent plant-based nematicide which consistently suppress nematode population densities of root-knot (Meloidogyne species) nematodes on various crops, but with limited information on its effects on foliar nutrient elements in sweet potato. The objective of this study, therefore, was to investigate the effects of Nemafric-BL phytonematicide on accumulation of nutrient elements in leaf tissues of sweet potato cv. 'Bophelo' under greenhouse conditions in Limpopo Province, South Africa, during autumn (February-April) in 2021 and validated in 2022. The product was applied weekly at geometric concentrations, with mature leaves collected and prepared for analysis of nutrient elements at eight weeks. Seasonal interactions were not significant and therefore data were pooled (n = 70) and then subjected to the Curve-fitting Allelochemical Response Dose (CARD) algorithm computer model. Iron (R2 = 0.86), K (0.91) and Na (0.82) versus Nemafric-BL phytonematicide each exhibited negative quadratic relations, whereas Zn (0.83) versus the product exhibited positive quadratic relations. In all test elements, the CARD-generated biological indices illustrated that the accumulation of elements was highly sensitive to the concentration of Nemafric-BL phytonematicide. In conclusion, in sweet potato production, the application of Nemafric-BL phytonematicide can inhibit (Fe, K) and stimulate (Zn) the accumulation of certain elements in leaf tissues of sweet potato cv. ′Bophelo‵.

Authors: GELDENHUYS GAVIN
Published: May 2024

Plant research has recently concentrated on the molecular level, which requires reliable, inexpensive, and fast protocols for extracting DNA. Many researchers have identified Chelex-based DNA extraction methods as having the potential to reduce costs. However, Chelex can also prevent DNA degradation by chelating metal ions. Citrus is one of the top three crops grown globally, with oranges being a well-known species. Therefore, study on the molecular of C. sinensis is essential. This study was conducted in 2022 at the genetic lab of the University of Limpopo- to compare two different extraction methods for DNA from C. sinensis. The DNA from the C. sinensis leaves was extracted using Chelex "method 1" (overnight incubation at 56°C) and "method 2" (Ten-minute incubation at 95°C). A spectrophotometer was employed to measure the extracted DNA's qualitative and quantitative parameters accurately. Furthermore, all samples were subjected to PCR reactions with primers for 28S. The results indicated that "method 2" (1.59-1.84) proved to be the most effective method to obtain high-quality extracted DNA. Additionally, the quantitative and qualitative tests for PCR reaction demonstrated that "method 2" produced better results. In conclusion, although both methods yielded favourable outcomes, "method 2" was ultimately the more successful approach.

Published: May 2024

The nutritive mineral element concentrations of most African leafy vegetables (ALVs) are influenced by the plant’s growth stages. Momordica balsamina is an ALV in the Cucurbitaceae family, rich with nutraceutical and pharmaceutical properties, available in the plant at different growth stages. A greenhouse study was conducted to determine the responses of the nutritional value of M. balsamina leafy vegetable harvested at different growth stages. Six growth stages, namely, vegetative (reference), bud development, flower initiation, fruit set, fruit development and physiological maturity, served as treatments, with 10 replicates and arranged in RCBD. Treatments had highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) effect on the tested nutritional quality, namely, potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P). Relative to the reference, K was the highest (1206 mg/L) at flower initiation stage, whereas the highest Ca (127.70 mg/L) and Zn (2.21 mg/L) concentrations occurred at the fruit development stage. At the physiological maturity stage, the highest Mg (25.19 mg/L), P (16.54 mg/L) and Fe (5.49 mg/L) concentrations, were recorded. Noticeably, during early growth stages, P, Fe and Zn were negatively reduced, when compared to K, Ca and Mg, which were increasing at every growth stages. In conclusion, the greatest accumulation of the tested mineral elements was mainly observed as from when the leafy vegetable started setting fruit until physiological maturity stage.

This research proposes an approach to build malicious PDF detection system using random forest algorithm, focusing the Evasive-PDFMal2022 dataset which is updated and extended with the addition of new datasets. This dataset includes malicious PDF files from CVE and Exploit-DB, non-malicious PDF files, as well as files from private collections and Technically-oriented PDF Collection. Features were extracted using the PDFID tool, resulting in 29 structural features that formed the basis for the Random Forest classification algorithm. Experiments showed that the model trained with the new dataset provided accuracy equivalent to the Evasive-PDFMal2022 model, at 98%, albeit with a small decrease in recall for the benign class. In addition, this research involved the creation of a website for metadata extraction and malicious PDF detection. Recognition goes to the dataset contributors, tool developers, and dataset providers from NIST and Exploit-DB. Overall, this research successfully increased the representation and diversity of the dataset, provided good model training results, improved detection from 3 malicious PDF variants to 13 variants, and created a practical tool for malicious PDF extraction and detection. Nonetheless, further development may be required to improve detection performance in more complex scenarios

Christology in John’s Gospel as a Trigger for Discipleship
Authors: Budiselić Ervin
Published: May 2024

This article discusses the relationship between Christology and discipleship. It argues that Christology is the driving force, or trigger, behind becoming a disciple of Jesus and can also be used to revitalize existing disciples. The first part of the article examines the use of the term mathētēs, asking the question, “Who is directly or indirectly called a disciple of Jesus?” The second part explores concepts related to discipleship, which provides a basis for the third part of the article, which delves into why someone becomes a disciple of Jesus, i.e., questions of motivation. Since the topic is extensive, this section will only focus on the parts of the Gospel that contain explicit Christological titles and where the response to Jesus is positive. Since, in the Gospel of John, Christology is the means of initiating discipleship, the fourth part analyzes whether the main message of the gospel is centered on Christology or soteriology and how different messages impact discipleship. The article concludes that the Gospel of John emphasizes Christology as the center of its message rather than focusing on man’s fallen state and need for salvation. It also states that Christology triggers discipleship and plays a crucial role in motivating believers to commitment, zeal, sanctification, and sacrificial service within the Church today.
Patnja kao kvalifikacija za službu
Authors: Maroney Nathan
Published: May 2024

Za Pavla su stvarnosti Krista i evanđelja bile moćni interpretativni alati. U svojim pismima Pavao koristi te stvarnosti kao leće kojima tumači svoje trpljenje. Ovaj članak istražuje elemente Pavlova razmišljanja u kojemu je patnja protumačena kao nešto što ide u prilog službi. Prvo, u Ežefanima i Filemonu raspravljamo o terminu „sužanj Krista Isusa” i načine na koje Pavao to vidi kao počasni naziv koji ga kvalificira autoritetom. Drugo, u korespondenciji s Korinćanima razmatramo način na koji Pavao povezuje apostolstvo i patnju, nabrajajući svoje nedaće kao kvalifikacije. Treće, u Drugoj poslanici Korinćanima promatramo način na koji Pavao vidi patnju kao nešto što doprinosi empatiji u službi. Na kraju otkrivamo odjeke sličnih misli drugdje u Novomu zavjetu.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ВПРОВАДЖЕННЯ ҐЕНДЕРНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ В ЗБРОЙНІ СИЛИ УКРАЇНИ З ВРАХУВАННЯМ ДОСВІДУ І ВИМОГ НАТО
Authors: Кримець Л. , Сидоренко А.
Published: May 2024

Гендерна рівність в Збройних Силах України – це рівний правовий статус, рівні можливості, рівні обов’язки та рівна відповідальність осіб військовослужбовців обох статей (чоловіків і жінок) під час проходження військової служби.
Прийнявши зобов’язання на національному та міжнародному рівнях, Україна визначила ґендерну рівність одним із пріоритетів державної політики для забезпечення розвитку країни та підтвердила, що має гарантувати рівні права та можливості жінкам і чоловікам для участі в усіх сферах життя суспільства, у тому числі в оборонній сфері.
Центральним поняття ґендерної політики Північноатлантичного альянсу є визначення “ґендерна інтеграція”, яке означає стратегію досягнення рівних прав та можливостей жінок і чоловіків на всіх рівнях у ЗС України шляхом професійного виконання завдань за призначенням, з урахуванням їх досвіду та інтересів, що сприятиме досягненню євроатлантичних стандартів і критеріїв у військовій сфері, відповідність яким є необхідною для набуття Україною членства в НАТО.
За результатами проведеного дослідження сформулюємо рекомендації щодо подальшої інтеграції принципів ґендерної рівності у Збройні Сили України.

Authors: Akaranuchat Nutthawut , Kongkunnavat Natthapong , Yongsuvimol Min
Published: May 2024

Objective: Microvascular free tissue transfer has become a preferred reconstructive technique for managing complex wounds and defects. The aim of this questionnaire-based study was to assess self-perceived competency in and knowledge about reconstructive microsurgery among plastic surgeons who graduated from the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University during 2015-2019.
Materials and Methods: Questionnaire was sent by email elicited information about the amount of microsurgery performed in practice, types of microsurgeries performed, reconstructive methods, types of flaps used, and respondent’s opinion about the microsurgery course attended during residency/fellowship training.
Results: The total response rate was 87.5%. Almost all respondents work in a government hospital (90.4%), and responses came from all regions of Thailand. Thirty-eight percent of respondents reported no microsurgery cases, and the majority of those who did perform microsurgery did so less than 20 times/year. Hand reconstruction was the most common type of microsurgical procedure. The factors that negatively influence microsurgery in clinical practice include insufficiency of resources and personnel (29.1%), excessive workload (27.3%), and long operative time (23.6%). Suggestions for improvement of the microsurgical training course include having a good objective method for assessing microsurgical practices (27.7%), increasing the volume of practice on animal model (25.5%), and an appropriate number of microsurgery cases to gain necessary experience (25.5%).
Conclusion: Reconstructive microsurgery was found to be a challenging procedure for many junior-level plastic surgeons. A low volume of cases limits a surgeon’s ability to develop needed skills. Important improvements in the microsurgery training course were also recommended.

Authors: Hosiri Tikumporn , Jongjaroen Anawin , Imaroonrak Soisuda , Sumalrot Thanayot , Phattharayuttawat Sucheera
Published: May 2024

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), behavior problems, and resilience among adolescents in Southern Thailand, with a particular focus on the role of resilience in mediating the relationship between ACEs and behavior problems.
Materials and Methods: A paper-and-pencil questionnaire, covering participants’ general information, ACEs, behavior problems, and resilience, was distributed to 383 senior high school students in a province in Southern Thailand. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and path analysis.
Results: Out of the 383 students the questionnaire was distributed to, 374 completed the questionnaire, resulting in a response rate of 97.65%. Alarmingly, 59.36% of the respondents reported experiencing at least one type of ACE. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive association between ACEs and behavior problems (r=0.17, p<0.01) and a negative correlation with resilience (r = -0.19, p<0.01). Path analysis demonstrated that ACEs directly influenced behavior problems (β=0.23, p<0.01) and resilience (β = -0.24, p<0.01). However, the analysis did not support the hypothesis that resilience mediates the relationship between ACEs and behavior problems.
Conclusion: The findings indicate a troubling prevalence of ACEs among senior high school students in Thailand, likely contributing to current adolescent behavior problems. Although the study's path analysis did not align with prior research, it emphasizes the critical role of resilience in mitigating the adverse effects of ACEs. Therefore, resilience remains a necessary skill in helping adolescents cope with the consequences of adverse childhood experiences.
