políticas de cuidado en algunos países de América Latina.
Authors: Cetré Andrea
Published: January 2023

Objetivo: uno de los objetivos que se tuvieron con la presente investigación fue destacar que en la región latinoamericana el régimen de cuidado que domina es de corte familista, donde quienes llevan la carga de cuidado son las mujeres (en comparación con los hombres) y el rol de las intervenciones públicas se enfoca en facilitar un subsidio. Metodología: hablar de políticas de cuidado conduce a acceder a construcciones teóricas con raíces en países nórdicos que parten de las teorías de bienestar, por lo que su aplicabilidad en la región latinoamericana sigue siendo un debate en construcción. La presente revisión de literatura se posiciona desde la teoría feminista —en especial, desde la economía de cuidado— al presentar autoras que cuestionen las políticas de cuidados desde una lógica que va más allá de las teorías de bienestar interconectándose con el feminismo. Resultados: se realizó un análisis de las políticas de cuidado partiendo de los conceptos básicos propuestos por la economista Shahra Razavi como el ‘diamante de cuidado’, entendido como aquellas instituciones involucradas en brindar cuidados a grupos de población que son demandantes de estos. Esto significó ofrecer una aproximación sobre cuál es la principal institución proveedora de cuidados en América Latina. Conclusiones: se destaca la necesidad de fortalecer las políticas de cuidado en la región ampliando su visión de manera integral, entendiéndolas como un conjunto de programas que van desde proporcionar infraestructura básica y medidas de saneamiento hasta garantizar derechos en el mercado laboral, como son las licencias de maternidad y paternidad, entre otras medidas. Muchas acciones conjuntas se deben realizar para poder garantizar el cuidado como parte de los derechos humanos y el sustento de la vida humana.

This study aims to examine the effect of teacher teaching skills on student learning outcomes in elementary schools. In this study, it will specifically examine teaching skills and learning readiness as factors that can influence student learning outcomes. The teacher's teaching skills are very important in the learning process because one of the ways the teacher can do it is so that the learning process in the classroom fosters effective student learning activities and learning outcomes can be as expected. Learning activities are not enough just to listen and take notes, but must be more complex than that. This shows that the teacher's teaching skills must be able to make students able to stimulate various learning activities. In preparing this article, we used a qualitative approach with literature studies based on several scientific journals, electronic books, and other sources whose accuracy has been confirmed. The results of this study describe that there is an influence of teacher teaching skills on student learning outcomes in elementary schools. By mastering the basic skills of teaching, the teacher can train all learning materials so as to achieve the learning objectives themselves
The Response of Reinforced Concrete Composite Beams Reinforced with Pultruded GFRP to Repeated Loads
Authors: Ibrahim Teghreed H. , Allawi Abbas A.
Published: January 2023

This paper investigates the experimental response of composite reinforced concrete with GFRP and steel I-sections under limited cycles of repeated load. The practical work included testing four beams. A reference beam, two composite beams with pultruded GFRP I-sections, and a composite beam with a steel I-beam were subjected to repeated loading. The repeated loading test started by loading gradually up to a maximum of 75% of the ultimate static failure load for five loading and unloading cycles. After that, the specimens were reloaded gradually until failure. All test specimens were tested under a three-point load. Experimental results showed that the ductility index increased for the composite beams relative to the reference specimen by 156.2% for a composite beam with GFRP with shear connectors, 148.6% for composite beams with GFRP without connectors, and 96% for the composite beam with a steel I-section.

Published: January 2023

يدرس هذا البحث الضبط الإداري الخاص بالبناء والتعمير والذي يرتبط بعدة فروع  كضبط الإسكان ، وضبط الجمال ، وضبط الصحة ، وضبط الأمن العام،  ومن أجل تشييد المباني العمرانية ينبغي الحصول على تراخيص وموافقات تصدرها سلطات الضبط الإداري، تتمثل بشروط وقواعد خاصة يتم تحديدها من قبل تلك السلطات من قبيل الحصول على تراخيص البناء التي تحدُّ من حرية الافراد في التملك العقاري، وتوجد نوعاً من التوازن بين حرية الفرد والمصلحة العامة، تلك الإجراءات تأتي بهدف ضمان التطور العمراني الذي يعكس واقع البلد الحضاري والاقتصادي .
ثمة من يعتقد أن الكوارث التي يشهدها العالم بسبب انهيار المباني وما ينتج عنها من خسائر مادية وبشرية وما تتسبب به من تلوث للبيئة العمرانية، سببه عدم التزام الافراد بالشروط والقرارات التنظيمية لعملية البناء  ، وغياب النصوص القانونية التي تضمن التزام الآخرين بتلك الشروط، فعملية البناء لابد وأن تجري ضمن قواعد مدروسة وواقعية، لان ما يتم تشيده من مبانٍ تمثل بحدِّ ذاتها ثروة طائلة لأصاحبها وللبلد ، لذلك تتولى سلطات الضبط الإداري بالإضافة إلى النصوص التشريعية التي تنظم عملية البناء مهمة التنظيم والرقابة، تلك المهمة يجري العمل بها وفقاً لقرارات إدارية يجب أن تكون متصفة بالمشروعية، وإلاّ جاز للمتضرر اللجوء إلى القضاء للدفع بعدم مشروعية القرار.
  تبرز أهمية  الضبط الإداري الخاص بالبناء والتعمير عبر الشروط  التي على الافراد الالتزام بها من أجل الحصول على تراخيص البناء ، وأن أي اخلال بتلك الشروط يدفع الجهة الإدارية والقضائية إلى اتباع الإجراءات القانونية بحق المخالف، وبذلك تتحقق بيئة عمرانية منظمة للمصلحة العامة ومصلحة الافراد على حد سواء، لكن ما ينبغي الإشارة إليه أن ذلك لا يتحقق الا بعد الحصول على رخصة من السلطات الإدارية يراعا فيها جميع الضوابط العامة المتعلقة بالأحجام والمسافات وصولا إلاّ المنظر العام الذي يجب أن يتجانس وينسجم  مع المحيط العمراني .

لقد هدف الدراسة الحالية الى معرفة اهمية دور الخدمة الاجتماعية في تنمية الوعي البيئي ومعرفة المشكلات العديدة التي تعاني منها البيئة، سواء كانت تلك المشاكل متصلة بنشاط الانسان العادي في حياته اليومية، ام انها بفعل كوارث طبيعية. فضلا عن أهمية هذا الحقل المعرفي المتصل بالمشكلات التي تعاني منها البيئة.
لقد أصبح التدخل المهني للخدمة الاجتماعية في قضايا البيئة من حيث صونها وحمايتها ووقايتها من الهدر والتلوث، من المجالات الهامة التي بدأ الاخصائيون الاجتماعيون ينشطون فيها، انطلاقا من الأساس المهني لعملهم الذي يركز على السلوك الإنساني لتحقيق الرفاهية بالاعتماد على الجهد الذاتي، وبكامل الشعور بالمسؤولية وإدراك المصلحة العامة للمجتمع.
، كما تسعى الخدمة الاجتماعية الى مساعدة الاخصائي الاجتماعي على اكسابه المعرفة الأساسية المتعلقة بالمناهج الأساسية.

Does students' awareness of school track-related-stereotypes exacerbate inequalities in education?
Authors: Bardach Lisa , Neuendorf Claudia , Murayama Kou , Fahrbach Thorsten , Knigge Michel , Nagengast Benjamin , Trautwein Ulrich
Published: January 2023

Early ability tracking increases inequalities in education. It has been proposed that the awareness of negative school-track-related stereotypes contributes to educational inequalities as they particularly hinder the thriving of students in lower, stigmatized tracks. The present study tested this assumption in a sample of 3,880 German secondary school students from three tracks, who were assessed four times on stereotype awareness regarding their own school track and academic outcomes (achievement, engagement, self-concept) between Grades 5 and 8. Students in the lowest track reported higher levels of stereotype awareness than higher track students or students attending a combined track. Stereotype awareness increased across time in all tracks. Contrary to our preregistered hypotheses, however, (changes in) stereotype awareness were not more strongly related to (changes in) most outcomes in the lowest track in comparison with the other two tracks.

Who are the hyper prolific authors in environmental sciences?
Authors: Abduh Akira
Published: January 2023

Hyper prolific scientists are individuals who produce an exceptionally large number of scientific papers, often at a rate that is much higher than their peers. While productivity is generally a positive attribute in the scientific community, hyper prolific scientists may raise concerns about the quality and impact of their research. It is important to carefully evaluate the work of hyper prolific scientists to be mindful of the potential risks and negative consequences of producing an excessively large number of papers. Therefore this paper investigates hyper prolific authors in environmental sciences using bibliometric data from 2013-2021 to identify and characterize their patterns. The results reveal some hyper prolific authors that publish, on average, 50-100 papers per year. A network analysis further uncovers a close-connected network of scientists who gain an incredible number of highly cited papers. It is concluded that the scientific community has the need to establish ethical guidelines and practices on the number of publications to ensure that publishing a paper is conducted with integrity and that personal interests do not compromise the pursuit of knowledge.
Cognitive biases and speech connectedness in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders
Authors: McGrory Vanessa , Palaniyappan Lena , Lepage Martin , Lavigne Katie M.
Published: January 2023

Cognitive biases are systematic tendencies in the processing, selection and remembering of information. They are prevalent in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSD) and are particularly associated with positive symptoms. The bias against disconfirmatory evidence (BADE) refers to a reluctance to integrate information that contradicts one’s beliefs and is associated with delusions. There is also some evidence of a link between BADE and formal thought disorder (FTD), though this relationship remains to be fully explored. FTD can be objectively quantified through speech via computerized processing of speech transcripts in both clinical and non-clinical samples. We sought to examine the relationship between BADE and speech connectedness in SSD patients (n = 30) and non-clinical controls (n = 15). We hypothesized that lower speech connectedness would be associated with greater severity of BADE. Speech graphs assessing language connectedness were generated from manually transcribed speech samples acquired during semi-structured interviews. The results supported previous findings of a greater BADE in patients relative to controls. While speech connectedness did not differ between patient and control groups, it was associated with positive symptoms (delusions, conceptual disorganization, and hallucinations) in patients. The link between BADE and FTD differed depending on whether patients had a non-affective or an affective SSD. In non-affective patients, higher BADE was associated with higher conceptual disorganization, measured via symptoms interviews, whereas higher BADE was associated with lower speech connectedness in affective patients. These findings support the notion that cognitive biases are linked to FTD, but suggest that non-affective versus affective diagnosis may affect the way in which this link is manifested.
A Synonym-Compendium for Personality Descriptors: Word-Net Synsets for 1,710 Personality Adjectives
Authors: Saucier Gerard , Beriker Hanna
Published: January 2023

We systematically related 1,710 adjectives, those used in classic studies associated with Lewis R. Goldberg, to synsets associated with the Princeton University Wordnet project. in WordNet, 373 of the terms belonged to no cluster (synset), and 498 of the terms belonged to multiple clusters. Only 1330 of the 1710 terms were classified in WordNet, and just 839 of 1710 belonged to just one cluster (synset). So WordNet classified only 49% of the terms unambiguously into the desirable single synonym-cluster. In percentage terms, about 22% of the 1710 terms were not in WordNet at all, and of those that were found in WordNet about 37% were in multiple synset clusters. This gives clear indications that personality-attribute terms do not fit neatly into a "one and only one cluster for each term", but rather that the natural polysemy of these terms will complicate attempts to unambiguously cluster them by content semantically.
Brucelose- a propósito de um Caso Clínico
Authors: Durães Maria , Silva Nídia , Carrapatoso Leonor , Ribeiro Ana
Published: January 2023

Introduction Brucellosis is a zoonosis caused by a gram-negative coccobacillus bacterium of the genus Brucella, which can be transmitted by direct contact with animals or their secretions. Is an acute or subacute systemic disease that generally starts two to four weeks after inoculation. Its symptoms are nonspecific, but typically are presented with fever, night sweats, arthralgias or asthenia. Although being endemic in underdeveloped countries, is still an underdiagnosed and underreported disease. Case Report This is a 28 year old veterinarian assistant male, with close and frequent contact with cattle, sheep and goats. He is unaware of having ever been submitted to an aptitude test for work and, as personal protective equipment, uses gloves and a rubber apron only. He was observed in the hospital emergency department, due to recurrent testicular pain and constitutional symptoms. Serology test showed a borderline IgG for brucellosis. Therefore, the case was notified in the National System of Epidemiological Vigilance. The patient was treated with doxycycline and rifampicin, and the testicle was surgically removed. The surgical piece accused Brucella spp, which confirmed the diagnosis of brucellosis with orchiepididymitis. Discussion Considering that the symptoms of brucellosis are unspecific, a detailed clinical history, including occupational exposure/background, is fundamental for the diagnosis. The incidence of cases associated with occupational exposure is relevant, being veterinarians and large animal veterinary assistants among the professional groups with higher risk. Low adherence to personal protective equipment and lack of knowledge may be factors that perpetuate the infection. It is essential to facilitate access to Occupational Health services to ensure the health surveillance of these workers. Conclusion Brucellosis is one of the most neglected zoonosis worldwide, however, it’s one of the three most common in Portugal. This case report urges the healthcare professionals to acknowledge these less known work-related diseases, in particular zoonosis, that are often underdiagnosed. The professional risk assessment and the implementation of protective measures are fundamental in reducing occupational risk, being the assessment of working conditions by a qualified safety technician required. Thus, Occupational Health teams play a leading role in preventing professional illnesses, promoting health, implementing preventive measures and reducing morbidity and mortality. KEYWORDS: Occupational Health, Work Medicine, Work Security, Brucellosis, Veterinary.
Comparison of intravenous ketamine hydrochloride plus dexmedetomidine hydrochloride and ketamine hydrochloride plus midazolam hydrochloride in procedural sedation for short surgical procedures: A prospective randomized double-blind study
Authors: Dilip Kothari  , Seethal Ann Sunny  , Anjali Bansal
Published: January 2023

Background: The growing popularity of ambulatory anesthesia has led to the development of newer drug regimens and combinations. We decided to compare the effects of ketamine plus dexmedetomidine versus ketamine plus midazolam in procedural sedation.
Aims and Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the effects of ketamine plus dexmedetomidine versus ketamine plus midazolam on the adequacy of anesthesia, level of sedation and analgesia, hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, recovery time, and post-operative side effects in short surgical procedures.
Materials and Methods: Hundred adult patients were randomized into two groups: Group KD: A bolus dose of Dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg in 100 ml NS over 10 min and Group KM: A bolus dose of Midazolam 0.05 mg/kg in 100 ml NS over 10 min. Both groups received bolus dose of Ketamine 1 mg/kg at the start of the procedure. Level of sedation, adequacy of anesthetic technique, hemodynamic parameters, time for rescue analgesia, post-operative recovery time, and complications was measured.
Results: In Group KD 7 (14%) patients and in Group KM 13 (26%) patients had inadequate anesthesia. A significant reduction in pulse rate (P<0.001) was observed in Group KD as compared to Group KM. MAP between the two study groups showed a statistically significant reduction in Group KD as compared to Group KM (P<0.05). Time for first rescue analgesia was delayed in Group KD (70.20±14.35) compared to that of Group KM (49±4.73) (P=0.000). Four (8%) patients in Group KD and 11 (22%) patients in Group KM had post-operative nausea and vomiting.
Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine-ketamine combination is a good and safe alternative agent for procedural sedation in patients undergoing short surgical procedures.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common painful and chronic condition that affects a large proportion of the population particularly older individuals. Increasing age and obesity are important predisposing factors for the development of knee OA. While in most of the cases, conservative approach is utilized, in patients not responding to conservative management surgical intervention is required. Proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) is one of the important surgical procedures which is being increasingly used for managing knee OA not responding to conservative treatment.
Aims and Objectives: The objectives of the study are as follows: To study the role of PFO in medial compartment OA of knee. To study the clinical and functional outcomes of OA of knee treated with PFO with respect to pain, disability, and range of movements.
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study conducted in the orthopedic division at Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed College and Hospital, Sangli. Thirty patients with medial compartment knee OA and treated by PFO were included in this study on the basis of pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Body mass index (BMI) of all patients was determined. Pre-operative and post-operative visual analog scale index was analyzed to asses pain relief. Functional outcome was assessed by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. P<0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
Results: Out of 30 studied cases, there were 18 (60%) females with a M: F ratio of 1:1.5. Fourteen (46.7%) of the participants had right side affected whereas 16 (53.3%) of the participants had left knee OA. The mean age of affected cases was found to be 71.27±9.92 years. The median (IQR) of age (years) was 72.00 (64–80) and the age ranged from 52 to 90 years. Nine patients (30%) were obese (BMI ≥30) and 13 (43.33%) patients were overweight (BMI ≥25 but <30). There was a significant reduction in pain at the time of final follow-up (P<0.0001). Analysis of functional assessment showed that mean JOA scores at the time of final follow-up had significantly improved as compared to JOA scores at the time of presentation. Complications were seen in 4 (13.33%) patients.
Conclusion: Proximal femoral osteotomy is effective in relieving pain and improving joint function in patients with medial compartment OA. It is an easy, safe, and cost-effective procedure with minimal complications.

Published: January 2023

Background: Ludwig’s angina (LA) is a life-threatening condition, in which there is gangrenous cellulitis of floor of mouth that spreads through facial planes to involve neck region and has the potential to cause airway obstruction. Even though with advent of broad-spectrum antibiotics, it’s incidence has decreased considerably, the anesthetic management of patients, particularly children, undergoing drainage for LA group STILL remains a challenging task.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the efficacy and safety of intravenous combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine (DEXKET) for the drainage of abscess in patients having LA.
Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study, in which 40 cases having LA and posted for Abscess drainage were included on the basis of a redefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Abscess drainage was done under anesthesia using DEXKET as the only intravenous drug. DEXKET was prepared by mixing dexmedetomidine 0.5 mcg/kg along with ketamine 1 mg/kg in a 5 ml syringe and then diluted until 5 ml with distilled water. This was given as bolus dose. Drainage was accomplished under IV (DEXKET) sedation.
Results: In this study, there were 28 males and 12 females with a M: F ratio of 1:0.42. The mean age of male and female patients was found to be 38.35±10.58 and 36.41±11.37 years, respectively. Dental caries was the most common cause leading to LA which was seen in 32 (80%) patients. There were no episodes of significant bradycardia, hypotension or desaturation during surgical procedure, as well as in post-operative period. The procedure could be accomplished without any additional doses of DEXKET. Two of the patients (5%) had post-operative nausea and vomiting.
Conclusion: Drainage under sedation by intravenous combination of DEXKET is found to be an effective approach for drainage of abscess in cases of LA.

Background: Quality and safety of prescribing drugs in older people remain a global healthcare concern. Inappropriate prescribing pattern in the elderly population is now considered as a major public health issue and polypharmacy is one of the common problems among the elderly patients.
Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study were (1) to analyze the prevalence, pattern of polypharmacy with respect to age, and gender among the elderly patients and (2) to evaluate the most frequently prescribed drugs in the geriatric population.
Materials and Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional, and observational study was conducted among the elderly patients admitted in the Department of General Medicine, Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Medical College and Hospital, Perambalur, Tamil Nadu. The duration of research project was 12 months from May 2018 to April 2019; approval for the study was taken from the Institutional Ethical Committee. Data on total number of prescribed drugs and main and adjuvant drugs prescribed to patients during treatment were collected and analyzed.
Results: A total of 289 patients, that is, 167 male and 122 female were included in the study. The prevalence of minor polypharmacy (2–4 drugs) accounted for 15.22%, major polypharmacy (≥5 drugs) for 81.35%, and hyper polypharmacy (≥10 drugs) for 3.46%. Most commonly prescribed drugs were vitamins, proton-pump inhibitors, antipyretic agents, and H2 receptor blockers. They accounted for 21.70%, 5.78%, 5.42%, and 4.94%, respectively.
Conclusion: Polypharmacy is a preventable and can be rectified by prescribing appropriate medications. In future, a multidisciplinary approach which will be involving doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, shall be implemented for rational use of drugs in elderly patients.
Opportunities and Challenges of Implementing Federal Health System in Nepal at the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Bhattarai Sadikshya , Arjyal Amit , Subedi Madhusudan
Published: January 2023

Nepal has been practicing the federal system in health since the promulgation of the constitution in 2015. The new three-tier system of one federal, seven provincial and 753 local governments have set up ministries, departments, and health units at each level. Less than four years into this system, the country faced the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic created both opportunities and challenges for the federal health system. This study aims to identify those factors from the viewpoint of implementers of the health system. After an extensive literature review, exploratory qualitative research was carried out with twenty public health workers and elected representatives from all the tiers of government, including the federal ministry and governments of Lumbini Province. The data was analyzed using the R package for Qualitative Data Analysis (RQDA). Thematic analysis was performed using the World Health Organization’s six building blocks of the health system as an analytical framework. The participants highlighted many opportunities after federalization in Nepal. The presence of government closer to people helped to make policies and plans as per local needs. Decentralized power to make decisions at the local level made human and financial resources readily available to local governments leading to better service delivery at the time of need. In contrast, the challenges were difficulty transiting into the new system of governance, poor coordination among the different government tiers, and the lack of local expertise to manage and lead the health system during severe constraints posed by the global pandemic of an unprecedented nature. The study showed that the federalization in Nepal has met the goals of devolution of the power structure and better health system management. However, there are specific areas of improvement to ensure a more functional health system.
Labor Policy in Nigeria: Evolution, Trends and Implications for Industrial Relations
Authors: Omolawal Samuel  Ayodeji
Published: January 2023

This theoretical paper examines how Nigerian governments (Military and Democratic) over the years, have intervened in industrial relations through the promulgation of various labor decrees/laws since the inception of trade unionism in Nigeria. Relying on secondary materials, the paper takes a look at the various labor policies/enactments, the philosophy behind their promulgation, and also the effects on the Nigerian industrial relations set-up. Focusing on the major provisions of the 2005 labor policy, and using the pluralist and conflict perspectives and trade unions in two vital sectors of the economy, (Education and Health) as case studies, the paper argues that the current labor policy is an attempt to destabilize and weaken trade unions and that the current pattern in Nigeria’s industrial relations can be seen in the context of systemic tension and contradiction, a situation which arises as a result of the survival strategists adopted by all stakeholders in the industrial relations context and system. The paper concludes that as a partner in the tripartite relationship, trade unions have important roles to play in the management of the economy, and the Nigerian government should adopt a sustainable tripartism that would benefit from the practice of an ideology of social engagement and open willingness for others to share in its responsibility.
Discourse on Land in Kathmandu
Authors: Maharjan Mahesh Raj
Published: January 2023

With increasing migration, commodification of land, and urbanization in Kathmandu, there is growing interaction and antagonism between local landowners and groups who wish to own land, which has generated a discourse about land. This paper considers perceptions, beliefs, practices, and policies about land as discourse on land. Such discourse included meanings and uses of land. On discourse about landownership, land seekers think that Newars do not need the land that they are historically owning, and land brokers (dalāls) are suggesting landowners to sell land and build houses or live off on the interest of the money by depositing it in the bank. Dalāls act not only as intermediaries between owners and buyers in the land market but as amplifiers and communicators, and often as creators, of discourse. The physical and socio-economic environment of Kathmandu is changing in such a way that landowners are unable to hold, or hold for long, their land, and they are becoming increasingly influenced by the discourse that land is a high-value commodity that should be sold. Such discourse can be explained by the political economic theory that considers the city as a growth machine that commodifies space for private profit-making and capital accumulation.

Majhis have coped with marginal resources in the Neoliberal economic context and are facing many problems. This article focuses on the Majhi people and their livelihood transformation from traditional occupation. The main objectives of this study are to explore the present condition of the Majhi people in Baglung and how they got into their traditional profession. This study adopts qualitative data based on observations, case studies, and in-depth interviews through primary and secondary sources of literature review. Majhi people have coped with marginal resources in the Neoliberal economic context and facing many problems. They usually change their traditional occupations to boating, selling firewood, gold mining, and fishing. There are forced to change their livelihoods due to globalization. Modern means of transportation and limited income are insufficient to fulfill their basic needs. They face social, economic, and physical difficulties in their daily lives. Globalization and modern modes of transportation present them with more challenges and fewer opportunities because of the construction of the Pokhara-Baglung highway. Majhi people have not been able to easily grasp opportunities for political, social, and educational changes due to a lack of education after abandoning their traditional occupation and living place due to the construction of Pokhara- Baglung highway. This paper will be valuable for policy maker and, future researchers, and academia as well.
