Authors: Das Nabin , Tandukar Pooja , Niraula Muna , Gautam Daman Raj , Pathak Ishwor
Published: August 2024

The walnut tree (Juglans regia Linn.) is a valuable medicinal plant. Almost all parts of this plant have significant nutritional and curative properties. The walnut fruit has been claimed to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, antimicrobial properties and high nutritional value. The present work is focused on the phytochemical screening and study of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of Juglans regia kernels extracted from four different solvents; methanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and hexane. The highest yield of extract was obtained with methanol. The phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds, glycosides, terpenoids, quinones, reducing sugars, and saponins in methanol extract. The total phenolic content was higher in methanolic extract. Methanolic and chloroform extracts possessed more flavonoid content than ethyl acetate and hexane extracts. The DPPH radical scavenging assay showed that the IC50 value of methanolic extract was 78.77 μg/mL with TPC 67.65 mg GAE/g and TFC 391.00 mg QE/g. The IC50 value obtained for ethyl acetate extract was 135.28 μg/mL with TPC 36.56 mg GAE/g and TFC 212.00 mg QE/g. The IC50 value for chloroform extract was 313.72 μg/mL with TPC 13.08 mg GAE/g and TFC 393.73 mg QE/g. The IC50 value of hexane extract was 898.99 μg/mL with TPC 6.26 mg GAE/g and TFC 77.82 mg QE/g. Only methanolic extract showed the antimicrobial activity against Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus.

Authors: Pokhrel Shanta , Dahal Sunita , K.C. Samantha
Published: August 2024

Fruit and vegetable processing waste contributes to around 30% of the total weight of the fruits and vegetables. These wastes can be converted into valuable goods for potential benefits. Therefore, this study was focused on extracting pectin from agricultural waste (orange peels) using two methods: alcohol precipitation and enzymatic extraction. The extracted pectin was compared in terms of various properties. Alcohol precipitation resulted in higher yield percentages (16.99 ± 0.8 % wet; 6.46 ± 1.01 % dry respectively) compared to the enzymatic method (16.84 ± 0.42 % wet; 3.66 ± 0.34 % dry, respectively). FT-IR and XRD spectra indicated the presence of highly methylated semi-crystalline pectin in both methods with potent antioxidant property (40.57%). This research work provides comparative extraction method of pectin from agricultural waste i.e. orange peels which has diverse applications in the food, pharmaceutical industries and biomedical applications.

Published: August 2024

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia affects about 210 million males as of 2010 (6% of the population). BPH is the most common disease of men above 50 years of age. BPH   is a major cause of morbidity in the ageing men. Lower urinary tract symptoms, are a collective term for the symptoms of disrupted voiding in males, which has long been associated with BPH.
Materials and Methods: Study was descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in Department of Urology, Nobel medical college, Biratnagar, Nepal over a period from January 2022 to December 2022. The entire Patient with visiting urology clinic of the provisionally diagnosed as BEP was enrolled in the study with approval of institutional review committee.
Results: We enrolled a cohort of 75 patients who had been diagnosed with BEP. The mean age was 51.31 years. The mean prostate size among these individuals was measured to be 45.63 grams, and their mean Prostate-Specific Antigen level was determined to be 3.57.We observed a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.536) with statistical significance (p < 0.01) between VPSS total and IPSS total. Out of total, 35 (47%) completed VPSS alone without any assistance while filling IPSS only 9 (12%) could complete one. Median time for completing VPSS versus IPSS was 60sec and 300 sec respectively.
Conclusion: In assessment of symptom severity visual prostate symptom score is equally effective as International prostate symptom score in cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia presenting with Lower urinary tract symptoms. All parameters of visual prostate symptom score is significantly correlated with International prostate symptom score.
Superficial Veins in the Cubital Fossa Regions among the Nepalese and Indian Medical Students of a Medical College in Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Shah Diwakar Kumar , Bhakta Shalini , Khatun Sanzida , Mahat Samyog , Jha Manisha
Published: August 2024

Background
The veins in the upper limb are classified as superficial or deep, with deep veins, such as the venae comitantes and axillary vein, coming after the major arteries. The subcutaneous tissue contains the superficial veins, which link to the deep veins. These veins include the basilic, cephalic, median cubital, and median antebrachial veins. These superficial veins are clinically significant for phlebotomy, transfusion, and cardiac catheterization, and it joins the median cubital vein at the elbow. It is essential to comprehend the structure and patterns of cubital superficial veins in order to design dialysis access and minimise hazards.
Materials and Methods
Studying the superficial venous organisation in the cubital fossa of 192 MBBS preclinical sciences students, ages 18 to 24, was a cross-sectional observational study carried out at the Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital in Nepal. A tourniquet and skin marker/tailor's chalk were used in the study to examine 384 anterior aspects of the arms. Six sets of veins were distinguished from the skin's veins. Tiny veins, cubital wounds, or thick tissue layers disqualified students.
Results
A study of 192 preclinical sciences students at Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital in Biratnagar found that type II variant was the most common venous pattern in the cubital fossa region, followed by type I in 24.75%, and the lowest being the type VI pattern in 3.35%.
Conclusion
It was discovered that the patterns of superficial veins at the cubital fossa did not significantly alter based on the gender or nationality of the individual. Overall, the most common venous pattern was type II, though type I was more frequently seen in female subjects but the difference was statistically insignificant.

Published: August 2024

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is widespread in tropical and temperate region. It is caused by the protozoan parasite leishmania species and is transmitted through the bite of infected female sandflies. It manifests as pancytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly and fever. Here, we present a case of 20-year-old male presented with difficulty in swallowing for 2 months, abdominal distention for 30 days and shortness of breath for 20 days along with progressive renal impairment. Clinical examination revealed hepatosplenomegaly and laboratory investigations confirmed pancytopenia, nephrotic range proteinuria, hematuria and hypocomplementemia. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy was performed which showed leishmania donovani (LD) bodies. It’suncommon presentation makes it challenging for physicians as well as pathologist to make a timely diagnosis.
Impact of Financial Risk and Macro-Economic Variable on Stock Return: Evidence from Commercial Banks of Nepal
Authors: Dhakal Dipendra Raj , Shrestha Sabin , Shrestha Anil
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the impact of financial risks and macroeconomic variables on the stock returns of commercial banks in Nepal. The study focuses on four main types of financial risks: credit risk, market risk, capital risk, and liquidity risk, alongside bank size, return on assets (ROA), and dummy variables for COVID-19 and earthquake impacts. Additional macroeconomic variables include economic growth, inflation, and interest rates. Using panel data regression on yearly data over 11 years for 20 commercial banks, the study investigates these factors' causal impacts on stock returns. The findings indicated that capital risk and liquidity risk negatively affect stock returns, suggesting that higher capital adequacy ratios limit high-risk, high-return investments, and higher liquidity risks lead to financial instability. Credit risk and market risk, however, did not impact stock returns. Larger banks faced negative stock returns, likely due to management complexities and inefficiencies. Economic growth and inflation positively impacted stock returns, reflecting economic optimism and increased activities, while higher interest rates negatively affected returns by increasing borrowing costs. The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact due to increased stock market activity amid limited investment opportunities, whereas the 2015 earthquake negatively affected returns as efforts focused on rebuilding. These insights underscore the need for robust risk management and consideration of broader economic conditions in investment and policy decisions.
Reshaping Multiculturalism through Accommodation, Encouragement and Respect: An Analytical Study of Zadie Smith’s White Teeth
Authors: Neupane Namita
Published: August 2024

Multiculturalism is the idea of distinct identities. It seeks cultural groups to be differently acknowledged, preserved, and supported in society. Zadie Smith’s White Teeth tells the story of subtle racial tensions in contemporary British society. These tensions are reflected in several ways: race, gender, ethnicity, religion, generation, citizenship, and immigrant status. In particular, immigrants face an identity crisis and do not find favorable circumstances to establish their values. There is a gap in understanding between families of different racial identities and even within a family. Smith tries to fill these tensions and multiple levels of gaps orienting the characters to the ideals of racial harmony and mutual understanding. The objective of the study is to reshape multiculturalism applying the theoretical concepts of Chris Barker and Conrad William Watson, Will Kymlicka, Keith Banting, and John Hotronto to analyze Smith’s portrayal of “the multicultural problem.” Smith’s White Teeth has attempted to offer a multicultural ethos formed around the ethics of cultural plurality, care, and respect for others and their differences in their terms. Smith's novel reflected the multiculturalism through different lived experiences of diverse characters. The study concludes that accommodation rather than assimilation, encouragement rather than mere tolerance of difference or a form of white paternalism, and respect for others in their terms are some of the ways to reshape multiculturalism.
Continuation of Learning During COVID-19 Situation in Nepal
Authors: Gautam Tikaram
Published: August 2024

This study explored the obstacles and ways of continuation for learning faced by school teachers during and after the COVID-19 situation. The quantitative cross-sectional survey research design was adopted. All the school teachers of Nepal were the population for this study and the sample size was 226. The online survey method was adopted for the data collection tools. A set of closed and open-ended questionnaires were distributed to respondents and data was collected using Google Forms. The study seeks the relationship between the independent variables (age, experience of teaching, school location, teacher’s residence, access to the internet, access to digital devices, knowledge about ICTs interest in online teaching) and dependent variables (continuation of online teaching). It was found that the community teaching and homework/ assignment methods were applicable to the rural areas. Continuing online teaching would be inconvenient for the students who had no internet access. According to the teacher's response, it was found that about 90% of students had no access to the internet. Although online teaching was suitable for the COVID-19 situation, it was biased for the maximum number of students. The teacher's interest and the obstacles in the online class and continuation of learning are significantly co-related (0.003 and 0.000 respectively). There was no significant difference between male and female teachers in continuation for online learning but a greater percentage of males are involved in online classes than females. The experienced teachers equally continued their learning of digital skills. There was a problem with the internet/ wifi/ 3G/ 4G network in rural areas. Teacher adjusted their teaching and learning activities even if they had no access to a laptop. The study concludes that teachers are ready for online classes and they regularly update their digital skills with changing times but digital divides created a serious problem with conducting online classes. So, the Government of Nepal should pay attention to teacher training, integration of digital skills in the curriculum, and proper allocation of budget for infrastructure development.

Authors: Santo Deni , Achsani Noer Azam , Rustiadi Ernan , Buono Agus
Published: August 2024

The availability of Detailed Spatial Plans (RDTR) is crucial for supporting development implementation and ease of doing business. However, there are still problems in the preparation of RDTR, necessitating acceleration. Regarding this acceleration, it is necessary to analyze how participatory and collaborative planning methods can play a role. Participatory and collaborative approaches are important because public trust and stakeholder relationships in participatory and collaborative planning influence the implementation process and planning outcomes. This study aims to identify the relationships between implementing actors and stakeholders involved in the preparation of RDTR so that they can be optimized with a participatory and collaborative approach. The research methods used are Social Network Analysis (SNA), Organizational Network Analysis (ONA), and post-review surveys. The results show that the relationships between implementing actors and stakeholders related to RDTR preparation are not yet optimal, therefore requiring remapping and rearrangement within the legal framework. Participatory and collaborative approaches will elaborate the possibility of more effective and efficient relationships with changes in roles and media of interaction.

Rancang Bangun SPK Kualitas Air Sungai Metode Fuzzy Tsukamoto (Studi Kasus: 4 Kecamatan Karawang)
Authors: Putra Fery Anuar Ramadhan , Hendriadi Ade Andri , Ridwan Taufik
Published: August 2024

Research reveals that the Citarum River in West Java is seriously polluted, causing problems for humans and the environment, so monitoring of river water quality is necessary. This research proposes the development of a web-based Decision Support System with the SDLC Waterfall model, using the Fuzzy Tsukamoto method based on seven water parameters (EC, TDS, Salinity, pH, ORP, SG, Temperature) to simplify the determination of water quality. This research uses the Research and Development methodology with the SDLC Waterfall model software development approach, which includes the stages of analyzing data requirements and fuzzy logic systems, designing system architecture and features, implementing technology and process results, functional manual testing and model accuracy, and maintenance in the form of documentation and storage. The results showed that the developed DSS can classify water quality based on 7 parameters with a value scale divided into five categories, namely Good, Poor, Medium, Good, and Very Good. Testing was conducted using data from 8 river points in 4 sub-districts in Karawang Regency on April 1, 2024. The accuracy of the DSS model reached 80%. The development of this DSS is expected to provide an initial overview of water quality in a location without requiring an in-depth technical understanding of the water parameters used. This data can also be an initial indicator to determine whether further action or further investigation is required. Suggestions for future research are to integrate the system with IoT to improve its performance and benefits.

Entangled History between Semi-Peripheries: Magdalena Abakanowicz’s Fibre Art on the Swedish Art Scene circa 1970
Authors: Larsson Camilla
Published: August 2024

This article examines what role Sweden, as a presumed periphery in Northeastern Europe, played at the turn of the 1960s when Magdalena Abakanowicz and her fellow Polish artists working in fibre material broke new ground moving away from traditional tapestry by working with complex three-dimensional forms. Using the method of a history of crossing, histoire croisée, the article shows how exhibitions with Abakanowicz’s fibre art served many interests at the time, the artist’s own creative development and international career, Swedish art institutions eager to display current experiments in soft environments, the burgeoning Swedish cultural policymaking, and larger structures of cultural diplomacy. The article thus proposes to understand the relation between Sweden and Poland as two semi-peripheries, where the dominant narrative of modern art stemming from Western centres influencing the rest was, in many ways, circumvented.
Latin American Women Artists: Subsidiary Human Beings? The Latin American Women Artists, 1915–1995 case
Authors: Gluzman Georgina G.
Published: August 2024

In 1995, the exhibition "Latin American Women Artists, 1915–1995" opened at the Milwaukee Art Museum. This exhibition marked the first-ever survey of Latin American women artists organised in the United States. Curated by Geraldine Pollack Biller, the show included works by thirty-five women artists active in eleven Latin American countries. This article aims to analyse the categories (“women artists”, “Latin American art”, and “Latin American women artists”) adopted by the exhibition and to examine some of the artists whose works were exhibited. What artists were selected? What were the implications of the selection? Did it reinforce certain stereotypes associated with Latin America and its art? Informed by feminist and Latin American art theories, deconstructing Euro-American notions of Latin American art, I argue that the emphasis on women artists did not significantly change the perception of Latin American art as “fantastic”. The thesis presented by anthropologist Sherry B. Ortner in 1974, which suggests that women have been traditionally linked with nature while men are associated with culture, can be illuminating when applied to comprehending the Latin American exotic cliché presented by the exhibition. Women were seen as doubly subsidiary human beings (in Rivolta Femminile’s words): non-Western and members of the second sex.
On the (In)Comparability of Indigenous Community-Based Research Within University Merit Systems
Authors: Johnson Paulina
Published: August 2024

Through equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization, universities attempt to prioritize Indigenous scholars and knowledge systems. However, there are key problems with the structure of evaluation and performance that Indigenous scholars like myself are placed in. Bringing forward a Nêhiyawak, Four-Spirit, perspective, I challenge the university merit system and evaluation process by defining accountability, authenticity, intentionality, relationality, and reciprocity within a Nation-specific approach for cross-cultural knowledge sharing to the broader public. While there have been calls to support emerging Indigenous scholars, the systems we find ourselves in are still problematic and fail to address the key roots of White dominance and control that we face daily.
INTERPRETATIONS OF THE ESSENCE OF POLITICAL REGIME IN LEGAL RESEARCH PRACTICES IN MODERN RUSSIA
Authors:   State Academic University of Humanities, SLOBOZHNIKOVA V.S.
Published: August 2024

The concept of “political regime” is currently highly politicized and is actively employed in the context of the formation of a new world order and the search for grounds for consolidation and confrontation in world politics. The article aims to identify the main interpretations of the category “political regime” content in modern Russia. The author undertook a study of interpretations in jurisprudence for a number of reasons. The field of political science and sociology can be traced back to the study of political regimes conducted by lawyers prior to the advent of these disciplines. In the present era, representatives of this science are actively analyzing both the concept itself and the evolution of its interpretations. The author’s analysis of the interpretations of the essence of the political regime in modern Russia leads to the conclusion that there are two main directions in the research practices of legal scholars. The first is a state-centric approach, and the second is a political-centric approach. The paper considers these directions in the context of the development of socio-humanitarian knowledge. It also considers the expansion of heuristic potential with the development of new methodological approaches by jurisprudence. The author has identified a variety of interpretations in each of the directions. In the state-centric approach, the political regime is understood as a form of government or a form of state, as a means of exercising state power, and as one of the elements of the form of government/state. The development of the methodology of jurisprudence has led to the emergence of new categories of political regime. These categories include state regime, state-legal, and political-legal. Within the framework of the politico-centric approach, the political regime is regarded from two points of view: 1) a set of methods (techniques and methods) and forms of exercising state power, activities of elements of the political system; 2) the mechanism of realizing political power. The weakness of interdisciplinary links and the absence of a clear hierarchy of categorical apparatus in the socio-humanitarian knowledge of modern Russia are noted.
ACTORS OF LOCAL IDENTITY FORMATION AND THEIR RESOURCE POTENTIAL
Authors:   Kuban State University, RUSIYA N.T.
Published: August 2024

In the current context of political and social transformations, it is becoming increasingly important for many people to search for a comprehensible system of coordinates and a meaningful set of reference points. The concept of local identity, defined as an individual’s sense of belonging to their place of residence, plays a significant role in shaping the subjectivity of local communities engaged in addressing issues related to territorial development. The self-identification of an individual at the local level is crucial in shaping the motivation to solve problems of public importance for the territory and in establishing guidelines for the development of the local community. The objective of this paper is to identify and describe the actors of identity politics at the local level and assess their resource potential. The research argues that local identity politics is defined by its multi-subject nature. The actors in this process include local self-government bodies, businesses and entrepreneurs, political parties and socio-political movements, ethnic communities and diaspora associations, the media and blogosphere, cultural and educational networks (cultural and educational institutions), community leaders, civic organizations/associations, and religious organizations. The actors engaged in identity politics at the local level possess a set of resources that the author has classified into the following categories: conceptual, staff, administrative-organizational, material and financial, informational, symbolic, and network. It was demonstrated that cultural and educational networks, community leaders, and diaspora associations in rural communities contribute signi cantly to the implementation of identity politics. In urban areas, the media is also a significant subject, while ethnic communities are less integrated into identity politics as an important participant.
