Authors: Tiwari Achyut , Ranabhat Kushal , Maharjan Diken , Baniya Chitra Bahadur
Published: July 2024

Mountain ecosystems are experiencing rapid changes in natural environmental conditions and human activities including tourism and development activities. And such factors have substantial impacts on the livelihood of mountain people. Increasing road networks towards the rural settlements have increased the availability of goods and services from the nearby markets, thereby contributing to shifting away from traditional agricultural practices in the rural mountain settlements in Nepal. In this study, we sought to analyze the impact of tourism on agrobiodiversity and livelihood strategies in different villages of Manang with different level of tourist flow; low at Naar, moderate at Ngawal/Khangsar and high at Manang Nysyang. We used semi-quantitative field inventory data to compare diversity on agricultural plant species and livelihood options in these valleys. The study involved 72 households including 16 in Naar village, 26 in Ngawal/Khangsar and 30 in Upper Manang (Nysyang). We have confirmed a total of 60 species of agrobiodiversity in these mountain settlements (excluding microorganisms), with the minimum diversity at Naar Village with 28 species, and with maximum diversity in Upper Manang (51 species). The total number of species under agrobiodiversity is very poor in the mountain settlements of Manang which forms less than 1% of total agricultural species (60/6618) in Nepal. The poor agrobiodiversity in Manang is highly threatened due to various natural and anthropogenic drivers. We believe that our findings will be highly instrumental while making plans and policies for conservation of regional agrobiodiversity in context of changing climate and intensified human activities.

Published: July 2024

The Panch-Pokhari complex, a group of five lakes, is one of the high-altitude wetlands of Nepal that has received very less attention. While these lakes hold significant religious importance, they are less known from a morpho-ecological perspective. The objective of this study is to develop a bathymetry model of the lakes through afield survey and geospatial analysis. This study generated new insights into the limnological and morphometric features of the five lakes through detailed mapping and profiling. The bathymetric analyses revealed diverse basin morphometry among the lakes, with Lake 1 being the largest, in term of its depth of 12.1 m and water volume of 208,352 m3. In contrast, Lake 5 was the smallest and the shallowest with a depth of 1.4 m and volume of 1,921 m3. This study establishes a new baseline to advance scientific understanding of the Panch-Pokhari complex. Further, integrated research combining limnological, ecological, and social aspects is recommended to support evidence-based planning for the conservation of these vital Himalayan wetlands.

Analiza mogućnosti suradnje u procesu ranog prepoznavanja i identifikacije rizičnih ponašanja kod djece rane i predškolske dobi na području Bujštine
Authors: Prelac Tamara Viktoria , Marovič Mateja
Published: July 2024

U odgojno-obrazovnim ustanovama, djeca rane i predškolske dobi često pokazuju različite oblike rizičnih ponašanja, potičući potrebu za suradnjom među stručnjacima, odgojiteljima, roditeljima i stručnjacima vanjskih ustanova radi pravovremenog prepoznavanja, identifikacije i intervencije. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je analizirati suradnju stručnih suradnika dječjih vrtića s navedenim dionicima u procesu prepoznavanja i identifikacije rizičnih ponašanja djece te identificirati ograničenja u suradnji. Kroz fokusne grupe s 10 stručnih suradnika različitih profila (pedagog, psiholog, edukacijski rehabilitator i logoped), provedena je deskriptivna kvalitativna analiza podataka (TCA). Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da stručni suradnici najčešće surađuju s odgojiteljima i roditeljima na njihovu zajedničku inicijativu u prepoznavanju problema. Iako se takva suradnja smatra vrlo dobrom, postoje izazovi poput nedostatka kontinuiteta u radu odgojitelja te otpora roditelja. Nedostatak suradnje najizraženiji je sa stručnjacima vanjskih ustanova, što dovodi do nedostatka komunikacije i informacija o strategijama rada s djecom. Ograničenja u suradnji s roditeljima i stručnjacima vanjskih ustanova reflektiraju se na planiranje i provođenje intervencija te rada stručnog tima u cjelini.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to investigate the EFL lecturer's beliefs in teaching speaking using video to fifth-semester students in a private university in Indonesia. A qualitative method was employed as the design of this study, involving an in-depth exploration of the lecturer's perspectives and practices. An English teacher was purposefully selected as the research subject of the study. The data were collected through stimulated recall and semi-structured interviews, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the lecturer's beliefs and classroom practices. The findings were categorized into six major themes: 1) the source of the lecturer's belief in teaching speaking using video; 2) the purpose of using video in teaching speaking skills; 3) the reasons for using video in teaching speaking skills; 4) the reflection of those beliefs in classroom practices; 5) considerations in choosing the videos; and 6) challenges faced by the lecturer in teaching speaking using video. The results revealed that there was no discrepancy between the teacher's beliefs and teaching practices. The lecturer believes that using video in teaching speaking classes enables students to learn individually, which is reflected in his teaching practice. For example, the lecturer allows students to watch videos individually, facilitating a more personalized learning experience. This alignment between belief and practice underscores the importance of integrating multimedia tools in language teaching, as they can enhance student engagement and autonomy. The study highlights the potential of videos as a valuable resource in language education, particularly in improving speaking skills among EFL learners
Perturbations of planetary orbit parameters due to decreasing in stellar mass and the expansion of the universe from a classical approach
Authors: Fonseca Juan D. , Monroy Ignacio Alberto , Cardona Rodríguez G.
Published: July 2024

In this analysis we found the disturbances caused by the decrease in stellar mass and the expansion of the universe, to three fundamental parameters that represented the stability of a planetary orbit: the period, the semi-major axis and the eccentricity. First, by assuming much greater the mass of the star than the planetary, the star-planet interaction is reduced to a single-body problem with origin of reference system lying in the greater mass; and, through the mathematical formalism of the central forces, the variations of the three orbital parameters to be considered were obtained. As a result, the variations corresponding to the period and semi-major axis have been characterized in their mathematical structure by the terms that describe each phenomenon; namely, ξ ∼ 2.16 × 10−21 for the case of Sun, and ̈α/α ∼ 3 × 10−36 concerning the decrease in stellar mass and the expansion of the universe, respectively. In the case of eccentricity, it is shown that this parameter is an invariant quantity under the disturbances produced by these two cosmological phenomena.

This research presents a simple way to build a physics simulation based on mathematical equations in spreadsheet software. The simulation aims to visualize the effect of non-linear continuous wave dispersion on fiber gratings. Simulations can visualize different modes. The mathematical equations in fiber optics for non-linear effects are quite complex. Visualization can assist students in interpreting mathematical equations and making connections between theoretical and experimental modeling.
Simulation of Gaussian wave packets used to illustrate elementary quantum mechanics scenarios
Authors: Guzmán-Cajica F. , Guzmán Murillo Francisco S.
Published: July 2024

In this paper we numerically solve the time dependent Schrödinger equation for scenarios using wave packets. These examples include the free wave packet, which we use to show the difference between group and phase velocities, the packet in a harmonic oscillator potential with non-trivial initial conditions in one and two dimensions, which is compared with their classical analogs to show how Ehrenfest theorem holds. We also include simulations of the diffraction through the single and double slit potentials, the refraction with a step potential and the dispersion by a central potential. The aim of this paper is to illustrate with simulations, nowadays easy to implement, scenarios that can help explaining the basics of the wave-particle duality.
Sustainability: Thinking Wide
Authors: P. P. Perera
Published: July 2024

My first feelings of the theme “Sustainability in the rubber industry”, were exciting and somewhat intriguing. Much has been conceived, conceptualized, discussed deliberated, implemented and various disciplines have emerged on sustainability, which are sometimes, overwhelming to a professional of the older generation. A wide array of theories, disciplines, and technologies have come up during the last 30 years in this area, reminiscing of the eras of 5S and ISO and Lean Management in the early 90s, which took the business and industrial community by storm. I must honestly admit that my experience, in the tyre industry and its sustainability in areas such as material development, (including Nanomaterials), green design and processing technologies, greener technologies and breakthroughs in EVs, is minimal and hence I prefer to leave it to the professionals, and endeavor to share some of my thoughts in this topic of contemporary interest. Another reason for my excitement is the status of affairs in the economic downturn in Sri Lanka and the hardships which we as Sri Lankans are personally experiencing at the moment. Indeed, we are not alone in this predicament and practically every nation is going through unprecedented difficulties, although Sri Lanka is one of the worst affected. Lack of focus, foresight and the inability to comprehend hindsight and not implementing and monitoring practical solutions and corruption are the reasons for not being in a sustainable position for any country, and this applies equally well to business organizations as well.
A little over two years ago I penned an article in Tyre Trends on “Sustainability or Vulnerability” at the peak period of the Covid-19 pandemic. The focus of the article was on the relevance of integrating traditional wisdom with modern strategies for sustainability, especially in countries like India and Sri Lanka, which possess a vast extent of collective consciousness accumulated for nearly 4000 + years, and the vulnerability of over-dependence on Western Models based on consumerism.
Milton Friedman, the American economist and statistician who received the Nobel Prize in 1976 for his research on consumerism argued in his famous essay that the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits for its shareholders and concluded profit maximization is justified for the risks taken by the investor. This statement made fifty years ago remains polarizing in today’s context; we cannot find fault with entrepreneurs who adopt a strategy of maximizing the use of resources for the maximization of business profits, since after all profit is not such a dirty word as first Prime minister of India, Shree Jawaharlal Nehru once stated. Profit motivation and maximization have been the driving force throughout the four industrial revolutions, resulting in enhancing the quality of life in most countries of the world; especially in what are called the developed countries.
Comparison of HTN Planning and OR-based Approaches for Solving Problems in Logistics Domains
Authors: M.H.A. Sandamali  , D.D.A. Gamini
Published: July 2024

Logistics is a day-to-day real-life situation leading to a very large domain. Among the various kinds of logistics problems we encounter are those pertaining to transportation, product inventories and location. Traditionally, Operations Research (OR) techniques are used most often and are popular candidates for solving logistics problems. With the development of Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning algorithms, there has been a recent trend to use HTN planners to address planning problems in general. It is also envisaged that HTN planners could solve logistics problems; yet, no proof or evidence could be found as to whether this approach is more efficient or suitable to handle logistics problems. In this paper, a comparison is done to ascertain whether HTN planning could be more efficient than OR-based approaches in solving logistics problems. Results revealed that HTN planning outperforms the traditional OR-based approach, especially in solving moderate-sized and more difficult harder problems. Furthermore, HTN planning is capable of solving very large scale problems, whereas OR based approach was unable to handle them within the same computational resource limitations.Keywords: Logistics, Operations research, Hierarchical task network, Transportation simplex method, HyperTensioN

performed by panelists using a 9-point hedonic scale were used to assess nineteen treatments on different mixtures by altering the flour types and their percentages in four levels, with palmyrah pulp and small-millet flours, including finger millet, little millet, and Foxtail millet. The sample prepared from 100% finger millet flour was chosen as the most preferred sample, based on the results obtained from the sensory evaluations. Physicochemical analysis of the selected treatment revealed that pH was 5.86±0.01 and the total ash content 1.38±0.18 g/100 g was significantly (p<0.05) higher, and crude fat content 9.04±0.02 g/100 g, total salt content 0.201±0.026 g/100 g, and total sugar content 16.38 g/100g, was significantly (p<0.05) less than that of the control sample which contained wheat flour. The selected treatment of the mineral content was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of the control treatment and contained Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, and Potassium were 150, 60, 32.7 and 76.8 mg/100 g, respectively. In summary, palmyrah fruit pulp and finger millet can be used to create healthy, nutritional and affordable natural snacks “panampaniyaaram”, which will satisfy consumer preferences. Further studies are required to understand the developed product's organoleptic properties, antioxidant, vitamins, and anti-microbial activities as well as ways to extend its shelf-life.

HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF THE TUNICA ALBUGINEA OF THE OVARY
Authors: Yetgin Hale , Ünal Murat Serkant , Kabukçu Cihan , Tufan Ahmet Çevik
Published: July 2024

Just below the surface epithelium of the ovary is the tunica albuginea, which is a tight irregular connective tissue structure that gives the tissue its white color and contains fibroblast cells. Tunica albuginea, which is more resistant to environmental factors, contains fewer cells and is rich in collagen fibers, is observed as the niche of preantral follicles. It has been observed that fibroblasts forming collagen fibers provide the development of follicles with the paracrine factors and cytokines they secrete and function as a nourishing cell layer. After the graaf follicle forms the corpus luteum, fibroblasts in the adjacent tunica albuginea proliferate and the thickness of this structure increases. The tunica albuginea undergoes frequent renewal due to the corpus luteum structures formed in rats. When the corpus luteum is formed, new capillaries and venules are formed in the adjacent tunica albuginea. This structure may be a suitable model for investigating the migration of cells from the bone marrow to the ovary via vessels. It can be suggested that mesenchymal cells and very small embryonic/epiblast-like stem cells (VSELs), which show pluripotent stem cell characteristics, may migrate from the bone marrow to the tunica albuginea through vascular structures and that the bone marrow may be the source of these cells, which have been previously shown to be present in the ovary. The aim of this review is to examine the effects of the tunica albuginea on the development of follicles and the dynamic structure of the ovary.

ABSTRACTLiquid organic fertilizer (LOF) is proven to be more effective than solid organic fertilizer because nutrient mineralization is more efficient, so nutrients are quickly available for plants. Water hyacinth, as a water weed, turns out to have many functions. Besides being able to become a biofilter by absorbing chemical compounds in polluted water, the accumulation results also contain mineral compounds that are useful for increasing plant yields. Therefore, it is necessary to review the results of applying LOF made from water hyacinth to cayenne pepper plants. This study aims to analyze the effect of various doses of water hyacinth extract on the yield of cayenne pepper. This study uses a non-factorial experimental method, a complete random design (CRD), with an analysis model of LSD test (Least Significant Difference Test) α 5%. There are 4 treatments, namely, 0 ml, 40 ml, 60 ml, and 80 ml, with 5 replications. The parameters observed are the number of fruits, the fruit weight, and the wet weight of the plant. The results showed that the water hyacinth LOF has a pH of 7, doesn’t sting, and is light brown. The best treatment for P3 or 80 ml of water hyacinth POC is that the average number of fruits is 10 seeds, the average weight of fruit is 2.04 grams, and the average wet weight of plants is 46.9 grams.

A livestock business's ability to succeed is influenced by a number of variables, one of them being feed, which accounts for over 50% of production expenditures. Feeding is necessary for animals to achieve their fundamental requirements for survival, development, reproduction, and output. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of indigofera sp addition on the chemical quality of fermentation of banana stems. This study is an experiment with four repeats and five treatment levels. banana stem + 0% indigofera sp in treatment P0 control; banana stem + 10% indigofera sp in treatment P1; banana stem + 20% indigofera sp in treatment P2; banana stem + 30% indigofera sp in treatment P3; and banana stem + 40% indigofera sp in treatment P4. Dry matter (BK), organic matter (BO), crude protein (PK), and crude fiber (SK) are the characteristics that are measured. The findings indicated that there was no significant change (p>0.05) in the DM and BO concentrations caused by the addition of indigofera sp. Additionally, the addition markedly (p<0.01) reduced the crude fiber concentration and increased the crude protein level. This investigation discovered that the highest-quality banana stem fermentation was achieved when 40% indigofera sp was added.

Published: July 2024

During the formation of the Turkish national movement, while Istanbul was under British, French, and Italian occupation, a distinct factional split emerged. One side supported the Ottoman sultanate’s sovereignty, while the other championed a populist, republican path. An Istanbul at the Threshold of Nation State contextualizes this history of coalition, political disintegration, and power struggles in Turkey between 1918 and 1923 to highlight the rise of anti-communist movements and the emergence of national labor and merchant confederations that formed xenophobic, Christian exclusionary policies in the 1920s and 30s.

Authors: Chaudhari Jyoti
Published: July 2024

Aim: To find the quality of sleep and factors affecting sleep among nurses working in shifts.Introduction: The sleep is a fundamental right and physiological need of the body. However, having adequate and quality of sleep is more important for work efficiency. Nurses being the health care provider who provides services round o’clock to the patient requires quality sleep.Methods: This investigation was cross-sectional. Data are obtained thrice, once after each shift from 30 nurses working in the selected hospital utilizing the pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), to assess quality of sleep and the researcher made a Likert scale to assess perceived factors affecting their sleep. A lower score of PSQI on a range of 0–21 indicates better sleep quality.Results: The mean age of nurses was 24 years and only 20% of nurses were married. About 50 % of the participating nurses had more than 2 years of experience. Two third of nurses were working in ICU. The nurses’ overall PSQI score was found better during the evening shift (PSQI score 5) than the morning (PSQI score 5.8) and night (PSQI score 7.6). Factors such as child-rearing activities, educational requirements, daily activities, and food intake are more seen in the morning shift whereas mental stress, the workload at home, and environmental factors are seen more in night shifts.Conclusion: Nurses experienced better sleep during the evening shift, highlighting the importance of managing factors like child-rearing activities and mental stress for improved sleep quality
Traversing Antepartum Wernicke’s Encephalopathy: In-Depth Insights and Strategies
Authors: Joseph Manju
Published: July 2024

Antepartum Wernicke’s encephalopathy (WE) is a severe neurological disorder caused by a deficiency of thiamine (Vitamin B1), essential for glucose metabolism, and neuronal function. This review aims to provide an in-depth analysis of WE during pregnancy, highlighting its pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies. Thiamine is critical in the Krebs cycle and neurotransmitter production, and its deficiency leads to substantial biochemical disruptions and neuronal damage. Pregnant women are particularly susceptible due to their increased nutritional demands to support fetal growth and maternal metabolic changes, making them prone to thiamine deficiency and its severe neurological consequences. The clinical manifestations of WE include ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, confusion or altered mental state, peripheral neuropathy, and cardiovascular issues. Diagnosing WE during pregnancy is challenging due to its atypical presentation, requiring a high degree of clinical suspicion and awareness of risk factors. Diagnostic limitations include variable clinical symptoms and challenges in interpreting serum thiamine levels and neuroimaging findings. While neuroimaging can show characteristic brain lesions, its utility is limited by variability. Managing WE during pregnancy requires prompt recognition, immediate thiamine supplementation, continued supportive measures, and careful monitoring. Severe or refractory cases may require advanced management strategies. Pharmacological treatments include standardized thiamine administration protocols, guided by clinical guidelines and recommendations. Early detection and management of WE in pregnant women are vital to prevent irreversible neurological damage and improve maternal and fetal outcomes. Adherence to clinical guidelines is crucial to mitigate the impact of this condition.

Introduction: Proper physician-patient communication has shown to impact patients’ satisfaction, and better health outcomes. On the contrary, negative impacts of poor communication have been attributed as one of the causes of increasing workplace violence. It is imperative to identify the attitude of the students towards communication skill learning. The aim of the study was to find out theattitude of undergraduate students towards communication skill learning using the communication skill attitude scale.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out from October, 2022 to July 2023 among undergraduate medical and dental students. Data was collected after obtaining the ethical approval from Institutional Review Committee (IRC number 2079/80/82) using a preformed proforma and the previously validated communication skills attitude scale questionnaire. Convenience sampling was done. The demographic details, educational characteristics, opinions regarding communication learning and median of positive and negative attitude scale scores were calculated using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).Results: The total median (interquartile range) positive attitudes scale (PAS) and negative attitudes scale (NAS) scores were 52.00 (48.00-87.00) and 31.00 (28.00-34.00) respectively. The first year of undergraduates had higher PAS scores 56.00 (50.00-60.00) than final year 48.50 (44.25-55.00). The students who were in favour of CS learning during the clinical years of training had a higher PASmedian score, 54.00 (49.00-58.00). Conclusions: The undergraduates had overall positive attitude towards CS learning but negativeattitudes were also noted, with deterioration in the scores from first to final year of undergraduation, reiterating the importance of strengthening CS learning in the curriculum early-on in the study period.
