The Nepali Army in Public Diplomacy
Authors: Singh Padam Bahadur
Published: February 2023

While describing the approach of 21st-century Public Diplomacy (PD), scholars, theorists, and practitioners have highlighted that dialogue-based or two-way communication is the most effective way of informing, engaging, and influencing a foreign audience in favor of a country’s foreign policy. State and non-state actors are considered effective vehicles for conducting two[1]way communication. However, theorists, scholars, and practitioners have neglected the role of military power (hard power resource with soft power behavior as appropriate), which could be an effective tool of PD. In conformity with Nepal’s peace-loving and cooperative identity projected into the international system, the Nepali Army (NA), essentially a hard power instrument, has demonstrated the ability to behave as a soft power apparatus which can be tailored to a coherent public diplomacy strategy in favor of the foreign policy of Nepal. Most importantly, because of global outreach and people-centric activities, the NA is capable and suitable tool for effectively handling PD activities to enhance the dignity and image of Nepal on the world stage. To explain the proposition qualitatively, this article undertakes an empirical investigation of the secondary data on the NA’s global outreach and its people-centric activities. The findings of this article could be useful in broadening the “Public Diplomacy” theory, and subsequently as policy guidelines for the Government of Nepal.

Authors: Bhattarai Gaurav
Published: February 2023

When China and India get closer, will Nepal be uncomfortable with losing its strategicspace? The available literature on Sino-Indian conflict and competition in the Himalayanregion do not divulge the impacts of Sino-Indian cooperation on Nepal. By examining theSino-Indian rapprochement over Nepal’s Lipulekh, this study elaborates the implications ofIndia’s and China’s neighborhood policies on Nepal’s foreign policy. In 2015, while Nepalwas concentrating on post-earthquake relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, China andIndia—the two Asian geopolitical rivals, decided to use Nepal’s Lipulekh as a trading corridor,without Nepal’s consent. The Sino-Indian agreement over Nepal’s Lipulekh not only stirredcontroversy in Nepal but also raised questions over the intention of Nepal’s two immediateneighbors. Although 2015 was not the first time that Nepal’s neighbors agreed upon the Lipulekhroute, the case of the Sino-Indian rapprochement in Lipulekh is studied and methodologicallyanalyzed under the framework of exploratory research design. By situating Nepal’s case in theconceptual framework of small states, first, this study surveys Nepal’s foreign policy behaviorin the context of Nepal’s Gulliverian neighborhood through deductive reasoning. Second, theimpacts of the multi-faceted Sino-Indian interactions on Nepal’s foreign policy are identifiedthrough inductive reasoning. Finally, the implications of the neighborhood policies of Chinaand India toward Nepal are discussed against the backdrop of the Sino-Indian rapprochementover Nepal’s Lipulekh.

Authors: Grau Martín , de Hegedus Pedro , Álvarez Jorge
Published: February 2023

En los últimos años la lechería uruguaya tuvo un crecimiento y un desarrollo significativos. Desde el punto de vista territorial, esta manifestación mostró diferente intensidad. La cuenca no tradicional del este del Uruguay, constituida por los departamentos de Lavalleja, Maldonado y Rocha, evidenció niveles inferiores de desarrollo respecto a otras zonas del país. Esta asimetría podría estar influenciada, por lo menos parcialmente, por debilidades de las organizaciones de productores lecheros presentes en la región este, en tanto representan instrumentos colectivos de soporte, promoción y defensa de los intereses del sector. El objetivo del trabajo es analizar la estructura y las características de estas organizaciones, e indagar sobre las causas que limitan el desarrollo de la lechería en la región. El marco conceptual se basa en la visión del capital social como factor coadyuvante del desarrollo productivo, económico y social. La investigación se realizó entre los años 2015 y 2017, y consistió en el relevamiento de información primaria a través de encuestas semiestructuradas y la consulta de información secundaria. Los resultados muestran que las agremiaciones de productores lecheros cuentan con reducida masa social, escasos niveles de participación de los socios y bajo grado de articulación y cooperación con otras entidades del medio local y nacional. En términos generales y en sentido amplio, existen debilidades en el capital social regional relacionado con la lechería, lo que contribuye parcialmente a explicar limitaciones en el desarrollo del sector.
Information Technology Project Benefit Realization in Military Enterprises of Sri Lanka Using Integrated Fuzzy Dempster - Shafer Algorithm
Authors: D. R. Perera  , U. A. Kumara  , S. T. W. S. Yapa
Published: February 2023

There are Information Technology (IT) projects in military organizations of Sri Lanka. However, these projects lack a scientific mechanism to measure and realize project benefits while quantifying qualitative project outcomes. This paper outlines a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) for measuring the extent to which benefits could be realized. The objectives of the study are firstly, to formulate a fuzzy logic to measure the extent to which the project benefits are realized and secondly, to analyze its impact on benefit policy. The study mainly utilized the quantitative methodology of Dempster-Shafer algorithm to aggregate the selected experts’ opinions by filtering similarity of experts. Ninety-five IT project managers representing the Army, Navy and Air Force were selected based on their expertise. The study employed field-based tacit experts to find inputs for each level namely, project, program, portfolio, enterprise and hybrid. The findings of the study posited nine fuzzy rules and five benefit realization levels for organizational projects. Also, the approach pronounced an organizational project policy. The study recommended a strategic benefit approach with policy implications that can be used by managers to monitor the expected project outcomes both on short term and futuristically. The application of the study cannot  be generalized to all projects of the technology-domains thereby posing a limitation. Also the study is curtailed in its application to non-IT projects which singularly yield financial benefits. The study can be employed by policy makers to streamline benefit process emphasizing government IT infrastructure projects and private sector IT projects with a futuristic value.

Authors: R. L. S. Fernando  , E. A. I. Kularathna  , I. D. C. D. Kumarasinghe
Published: February 2023

Employability must have to be attained in the journey to success in one’s career life. Graduates must be equipped with employability skills, knowledge, and personal attributes as the government of Sri Lanka allocates substantial resources for higher education. However, after graduation, a considerable number of graduates in the field of social sciences including management fail to find suitable employment, hence, are forced to accept lower-paying jobs that are not commensurate with their qualifications and some graduates are unemployed or underemployed. In this context, this study examines the level of employment and employability of management graduates of state universities in Sri Lanka, identifies problems and difficulties faced by management graduates in finding suitable jobs in the industry, and proposes policy measures for improving the employability of management undergraduates of state universities in Sri Lanka. Quantitative research methods were used to achieve the objectives of the study. Among 10,033 Management Graduates from 09 state universities, a sample of 1333 students was selected based on a stratified random sample method. A postal survey with a structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Descriptive statics were used to analyze the data. The employability level of Management Graduates is higher than the average level. Nearly, 90% of them are employed or self-employed, but most of them are seeking a new job. The degree,personality, work experience, English proficiency and professional qualifications are the most important reasons for getting their current job. Age and lack of experience are the major constraints faced by graduates in finding a suitable job. The study proposes policy measures to enhance the level of employment and the employability of Management Graduates.

Authors:   Library, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka., Gunawardhana N.
Published: February 2023

University education creates a transition period from school education to the real world through the provision of professional knowledge, soft skills, and different experiences. Students learn to deal with challenges, overcome conflicts, adapt to new environments, and cope with stress in university life, not only in engaging academic fields. Students face different problems in this new environment for these reasons. University counselors provide solid mental support with various tools to prepare them for higher-level challenges in the future. Bibliotherapy is a popular tool for them, although it is not widely used in the context of Sri Lanka yet. This service was initiated at the University of Moratuwa Library in Sri Lanka, where the researcher has been practicing bibliotherapy as a counselor for years. This work presents a new approach, which is very important in university libraries, dependent not just on traditional services, but on serving users. This article aims at sharing the researcher’s experience with other professionals and motivating them towards it.
Energy performance enhancement in institutional and commercial buildings

Published: February 2023

The built environment has been identified as a major contributor to the energy consumption as well as the GHG emissions across the world. Enhancing the energy performance of the building sector is crucial in meeting the current climate action targets, as well as in improving the economic outcomes and welfare of building owners and occupants. With the current energy and foreign exchange reserve crises faced by Sri Lanka, it is clearly evident that reducing the energy use in buildings as well as the reliance on imported fossil fuels are important. When it comes to greenhouse gas emissions curbing and climate action initiatives, demand side management initiatives appear to be more promising for Sri Lanka compared to supply side interventions, as the latter have higher costs of mitigation [3]. The effectiveness of the energy efficiency enhancement strategies employed in buildings depends on the archetype of the building as well as locational parameters such as climate conditions [1].

Published: February 2023

I obtained my B.Sc. degree from the University of Ceylon, and Prof. Kuruppu was my batch mate. There was only one university those days. My career at the University of Moratuwa started when the newly established Ceylon College of Technology (CCT) was started with virtually the university status, and they wanted to hire academic staff members. I was at the University of British Columbia, Canada at that time. Prof. Kuruppu sent me a letter telling that he joined CCT, and asking to join as well. I applied from Canada. Since CCT was a government institution, the Sri Lankan High Commissioner came in person from Ottawa to UBC to interview me. I completed my PhD in Electrical Engineering in 1969, and was selected for the job. Later, the institution became a campus of the University of Sri Lanka. In 1972, I was the first Dean of Engineering and Architecture. Architecture at that time was a mature department operating under the University of Colombo, and they were shifted to Katubedda, and joined with the engineering programme. Later, after my time, the faculties were separated due to growth in different directions.

Published: February 2023

Banyuwangi is one of the agricultural centers in East Java Province and nationally. Especially for vegetable horticultural commodities, several products have been able to become regional superiors and are able to penetrate the national market such as chili, eggplant, and mustard greens. In addition, the productivity of vegetable horticulture has increased from year to year. One of the MSMEs engaged in horticulture is Senja Farm. Senja Farm has a specific activity in producing hydroponic vegetables. These vegetables are cultivated and are able to produce healthier vegetables because they are minimal in pesticide residues. Hydroponic vegetables are vegetables that are grown with the help of liquids containing minerals needed by vegetables to grow through a process that is highly guarded by the method and place of planting and does not require soil. The use of pesticides in hydroponic planting techniques is also not necessary to protect against insect pests. This has an impact on the yield of hydroponic plants in the form of organic food. Consumption of organic vegetables in Banyuwangi has a trend that tends to increase so it is very potential to be developed. However, the hydroponic process at Senja Farm still relies on plant media derived from livestock compost and seedling media using plastic (polybag). The purpose of this PKM is to utilize bagasse waste through the use of bio-seeding blocks as planting media and as a substitute for seedling media. The output targets of this PKM activity are in the form of products submitted to partners, publications in national journals with ISSN, publications in print media and in the form of videos of the implementation of activities.

Authors: Ramírez Vargas Daniela Andrea , Díaz Obregón Felipe
Published: February 2023

Se describe una experiencia didáctica desarrollada con estudiantes de grado 6º de la Institución Educativa Santa Ana de los Caballeros (Ansermanuevo, Valle), dirigida a la prevención de la violencia escolar, a través de la elaboración de caricaturas publicadas en línea. Basada en un diagnóstico previo, se caracterizó la población y se definió la problemática, desde tres aspectos: identificación de la percepción sobre violencia escolar, sensibilización sobre la importancia del respeto entre iguales y promoción del mismo para el desarrollo de competencias ciudadanas. La exploración de la subjetividad de los chicos con respecto al asunto demuestra la importancia de abordar esta problemática no solo desde planteamientos teóricos, sino también desde la forma como los chicos experimentan y construyen sus relaciones.
