Published: January 2025

Thyroid Storm (TS) merupakan keadaan hipermetabolik akut darurat langka, ditandai dengan kegagalan multipel organ, yang dapat terjadi dengan atau tanpa diagnosis tirotoksikosis sebelumnya. Diagnosis dan penanganan tepat sangatlah penting untuk mencegah morbiditas dan mortalitas. Seorang wanita, 26 tahun, dengan keluhan dada berdebar disertai sesak, demam hilang timbul, berkeringat sepanjang hari, gelisah, mual, dan muntah sejak 2 minggu SMRS yang semakin buruk 3 hari SMRS. Pasien memiliki riwayat hipertensi, namun riwayat hipertiroid tidak diketahui. Pada pemeriksaan fisik, tekanan darah 110/70 mmHg, nadi 146x/menit, pernafasan 30x/menit, suhu 38,9°C, exophthalmos, goiter, ronki basah halus paru bilateral dan tremor. Hasil EKG didapatkan AF RVR dan hasil rontgen toraks menunjukkan kardiomegali. Hasil ekokardiografi menunjukkan LVH dengan EF 47% dan mild moderate regurgitasi mitral. Hasil FT4: 7,77 ng/dL dan TSH: 0,05 mIU/mL. Burch Wartofksy Point Scale pasien sebesar 85. Terapi awal IGD diberikan O2 NC 3 LPM, Paracetamol 1gr IV, Omeprazole 40mg IV, Ondansetron 4mg IV, Digoxin 0,50mg IV, Warfarin tablet 1x2mg, dan Candesartan tablet 1x8mg. Setelah keluar hasil TSH dan FT4, diberikan tambahan PTU loading 600mg, dilanjutkan dengan 4x200mg, Propanolol loading 40mg, dilanjutkan dengan 4x20mg, Dexamethasone 2x5mg IV, dan Furosemide 1x20mg IV. Pasien mengalami TS yang disebabkan oleh untreated hyperthyroidism. Dengan tingginya morbiditas dan mortalitas TS, resusitasi darurat sangat diperlukan, sambil menentukan dan mengobati pemicu yang mendasari. Penatalaksanaan TS meliputi stabilisasi kardiovaskular, pemberian steroid, tionamida, penghambat beta, pengobatan hipertermia dan agitasi. Identifikasi TS yang cepat, manajemen tepat dan adekuat dapat meningkatkan kesintasan pasien dengan komplikasi kardiak.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) merupakan penyakit menular yang dapat mengancam kesehatan dan keselamatan, terutama pada ibu hamil yang terinfeksi karena dapat menularkan kepada bayi yang dikandungnya. Jumlah kasus HIV di Asia Tenggara menyumbang 10% dari total beban HIV di dunia, angka penularan HIV dari ibu ke anak dapat ditekan dengan melakukan pemeriksaan HIV pada saat kehamilan agar penularan penyakit ini dapat dicegah sedini mungkin. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis pengetahuan dan sikap ibu hamil terhadap perilaku pemeriksaan HIV di Kecamatan Gelumbang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif bersifat deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Teknik pengambilan sample secara purposive random sampling yaitu sebanyak 231 orang ibu hamil dengan instrumen pengumpulan data adalah kuesioner. Analisis data bivariat dengan uji korelasi. Hasil penelitian dibuktikan tidak terdapat hubungan pengetahuan terhadap perilaku ibu hamil dalam pemeriksaan HIV namun memiliki korelasi yang lemah bernilai positif (p = 0.739., r = 0,22) artinya semakin baik pengetahuan ibu hamil terkait pemerikaan HIV pada masa kehamilan maka akan cenderung melakukan pemeriksaan HIV. Sedangkan sikap memiliki hubungan terhadap perilaku ibu hamil dalam pemeriksaan HIV dengan kekuatan korelasi lemah bernilai positif (p = 0,009., r = 0,173) artinya semakin positif sikap ibu hamil terkait HIV maka akan cenderung melakukan pemeriksaan HIV pada saat hamil. Diharapkan ibu hamil dapat meningkatkan pemahaman yang baik dan benar terkait HIV dengan mencari informasi terpercaya dari tenaga kesehatan dan orang terdekat yang berpengalaman serta meningkatkan sikap terhadap pemeriksaan HIV untuk dapat mencegah penularan penyakit yang mengancam keselamatan ibu dan bayi

Published: January 2025

Nginang is the habit of chewing betel leaves and other herbs, such as lime, gambier, areca nut, and tobacco. Nginang has been practiced by people in Southeast Asian countries and parts of Southern China since the 15th century AD. Currently, nginang habit in Indonesia has decreased, which can be caused by many factors. The custom of nginang in Indonesia, especially in Bali, has meaning in various rituals, such as in Balinese puppetry. Nginang functions as a social and theological means of Balinese Dharma Pewayangan Bali. The purpose of this study is to explore the social-theological meaning and existence of the nginang custom for puppeteer in Bali. This is a qualitative study, where primary data is obtained through interviews and observations, while secondary data is obtained through literature review. The conclusion from this study is that nginang is a theological symbol that unites spiritual and social aspects in the life of Balinese puppeteers who must master various arts and the Dharma of Balinese puppetry. Nginang can control words, actions, peace, and harmony during the performance and daily life of the dalang. Nginang should continue to the young generations of puppeteers in order to master the various arts and Dharma of Balinese puppetry.

Published: January 2025

Poor sleep quality is a common complaint among pregnant women, yet it is often underestimated as a factor that may contribute to the morbidity of both the mother and the fetus. Non-pharmacological interventions to improve sleep quality in pregnant women could serve as a therapeutic option with minimal side effects. Unfortunately, research on non-pharmacological interventions combining prenatal gentle yoga with dhikr is still rare. This study aims to investigate the effect of the prenatal gentle yoga and dhikr combination on the pregnant women’s sleep quality. This is a quasi-experimental study with pre-and post-design. The study was conducted at the Bajeng Health Center, Gowa Regency, from April to May 2022. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 15 samples. Pregnant women were given the prenatal gentle yoga and dhikr combination intervention three times within one month, with a duration of 10-15 minutes per session. Sleep quality was measured before and after the intervention using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Univariate analysis and bivariate analysis were conducted using descriptive analysis and the Wilcoxon test, respectively. The results showed that there was an effect of the prenatal gentle yoga and dhikr combination on the pregnant women’s sleep quality (p-value 0.00). This intervention was effective in improving the pregnant women’s sleep quality. The findings of this study highlight the need for healthcare providers to recommend this minimal side-effect intervention as a complementary therapy. Further research with a bigger sample size is needed to explore the broader benefits of this combined intervention.

The prevalence of obesity and overweight in 2018 was more than 650 million people. Treatment of obesity includes both non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches, including the use of flaxseed oil. flaxseed oil, containing about 40% oil with ALA as the main component, provides omega-3 fatty acids that reduce inflammation associated with obesity, and its high soluble and insoluble fiber content increases satiety, reduces calorie intake, and improves digestive health. This study aimed to find out how flaxseed oil supplements affect body weight in women. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a control group that included a pre and post-test. Respondents used amounted to 78 people who were divided into 2 groups, namely intervention (39 participants) and control (39 participants) in the working area of Puskesmas Pesantren II and Puskesmas Kota North Region of Kediri City. The sampling technique used simple random sampling. The intervention group was given standard care and flaxseed oil supplement 1 x 1000 mg daily for 12 weeks, while the control group only received standard care. With a p-value of 0.460, the Wilcoxon test on the experimental group for body weight revealed statistically insignificant findings. In contrast, a p-value of 0.356, was observed for body weight in the control group. On the post-test difference in body weight, the p-value was 0.024. flaxseed oil supplementation reduces body weight in women. This study is expected to help health workers to provide flaxseed oil supplements to obese women as an alternative treatment.
The culture of aging in the focus of everyday practices of representatives of the “third age”
Authors: Shtompel Liudmila
Published: January 2025

The article reconsiders the cultural meaning of old age and the aging process. The article is based on the results of a survey of people of retirement age in the Rostov region, conducted in 2023 using time diaries. It has been revealed that modern Russians aged 60+ demonstrate fundamentally different personal experiences of aging, which is statistically expressed in the gap between the average indicators for each type of activity and individual time allocation models. This forced the construction of not one, but two polar chronometric models of the everyday life of Russians over 60 years old, to which the majority of them may gravitate.
The concept of “culture of aging” was introduced, defined as a system of the best examples and methods of activity of people aged 60+, aimed at their adaptation to changes determined not only by age, but also by health, place and living conditions. An analysis of the time diaries of people of retirement age in the Rostov region collected in 2023 made it possible to identify and describe significant features and transformations in their aging culture. It has been recorded that general satisfaction with the skills of distributing one’s time between various activities is accompanied by the need for more active ways of spending time of their life, which cannot be realized for a number of reasons. The author comes to the conclusion that the culture of aging does not develop in isolation from the general culture of the population, from the culture of other age communities. The culture of aging is the most important system-forming element of the culture of society as a whole, largely representing and at the same time determining its qualitative characteristics.
Ambivalence in young people's gender worldview: research from 1996 to 2023
Authors: Nechaeva Natalia
Published: January 2025

The article examines the transformation of the contradictory youth gender worldview, which contains features of both traditional and modern egalitarian views on men’s and women’s positions in the family and in society. The empirical base of research consists of studies done by the author in 1996, 2007, 2014 and 2023. Each model’s structure is represented by three levels — gender ideals, general dispositions and situational attitudes. Research results show that these structural levels change heterochronically, but consistently. An analysis of group and individual contradictory gender consciousness is carried out. The article proves that there is no polarization of opinions held by different groups of young people about gender equality in families and in society. Ambivalence as a characteristic of youth gender worldview is examined. The contradiction of individual gender consciousness is reflected in syndromes of different degrees of incompatibility — in ambivalent and quasi-ambivalent ideas about gender views. An approach of studying and measuring ambivalence on different levels of gender worldviews is proposed. It’s established that the 1996–2014 observation period saw a gradual increase in the number of those who hold ambivalent gender and family views. By 2023 a new transformation trend is identified in regards to general dispositions and especially situational attitudes. There is a sharp drop of those who hold contradictory views and a simultaneous increase of the number of people who support gender equality in the family and in society. All this suggests that the examined period is a transitional stage of ambivalent gender consciousness.
In search of the language of legitimation: framing the value of contested city objects in Nizhny Novgorod
Authors: Khokhlova Anisya
Published: January 2025

The paper inspired by the ‘cultural turn’ in social movement studies seeks to comprehend the role of value orientations and discursive practices in grassroots activism, and analyzes the logics and rhetorical tools that urban activists and their opponents use to legitimize their positions in conflicts around city objects. It also studies how conflict participants construct (or reject and dismiss) the value of these contested objects. L. Boltanski’s and L. Thévenot’s pragmatic sociology and, in particular, their classification of ‘orders of worth’ serves as the theoretical framework of the research. Empirically, the paper focuses on two cases from Nizhny Novgorod where the urbanites attempted to protect city parks: Avtozavodskiy park of culture and recreation, and park ‘Switzerland’. A characteristic feature of the cases is that both parks are not only public greenspaces, but also formally recognized cultural heritage sites, which makes it possible to expect a wide-ranging repertoire of legitimation tools both from the proponents and the opponents of the transformations of these city territories. Relying on a collection of semi-structured interviews with conflict participants as well as publications in social media and regional news outlets, the author applies SKAD to reveal how the actors articulated the value of parks (or the lack of such), and what orders of worth they resorted to in their narratives. The analysis reveals the shaping of the discursive repertoires of justification specific for different parties to urban conflicts, and demonstrates the controversial role of the green worth in these repertoires.
Data Pruning in Machine Learning Using Influence Function
Authors: Danesh Pajouh Mohammad Mahdi
Published: January 2025

Data pruning is an essential technique in machine learning, enabling efficient dataset management without compromising model accuracy. This study explores the potential of influence functions in designing novel data pruning algorithms. Two methods are introduced: the first combines data selection and dataset distillation by merging similar data points in feature space, while the second removes low-influence redundant examples. The proposed methods aim to reduce computational costs while maintaining generalization performance. Empirical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the second method, achieving significant dataset size reductions across multiple benchmarks, including CIFAR-10, Cats_vs_Dogs, and MNIST, with minimal to no loss in accuracy. This paper advances the mathematical foundations of data pruning and highlights the potential for broader adoption of these techniques in real-world applications.
Voronovskaya-Type Asymptotic Expansions and Convergence Analysis for Neural Network Operators in Complex Domains
Authors: dos Santos Romulo Damasclin Chaves , Sale Jorge Henrique Oliveira
Published: January 2025

This paper extends the classical theory of Voronovskaya-type asymptotic expansions to generalized neural network operators defined on non-Euclidean and fractal domains. We introduce and analyze smooth operators activated by modified and generalized hyperbolic tangent functions, extending their applicability to manifold and fractal geometries. Key theoretical results include the preservation of density properties, detailed convergence rates, and asymptotic expansions. Additionally, we explore the role of fractional derivatives in defining neural network operators, which capture non-local behavior and are particularly useful for modeling systems with long-range dependencies or fractal-like structures. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of neural network operators in complex, structured spaces, offering robust mathematical tools for applications in signal processing on manifolds and solving partial differential equations on fractals.

Effects of speaker voice and digit optimization on the recognition of digits in noise by normal hearing and cochlear implant listeners
Authors: Goehring Tobias , Dang Thu Ngan , Gaultier Clément , Wang Shangqiguo
Published: January 2025

Objectives: Digits-in-Noise (DIN) tests have been widely applied to assess hearing function and speech-in-noise perception, but their robustness to variations in digit stimuli between listener groups remains unknown. This study developed a DIN test for research and clinical applications and evaluated several speaker and listener factors across different listener groups, including users of cochlear implants (CI), to assess their impact on DIN test results and robustness. Methods: Audio recordings of digits (0 to 9) spoken by two British English adults (male and female) were acquired in quiet and simulated noisy backgrounds to elicit the Lombard effect. Three experiments were then performed to assess the robustness of the DIN test across several speaker and listener factors. The first experiment measured digit intelligibility in noise for single digit and triple digit stimuli in four speaker voice conditions and across native and non-native normal hearing (NH) listeners. The second experiment assessed DIN results for simulated and real CI listeners in two speaker voice conditions. The third experiment investigated the effect of digit optimization using digit level corrections for groups of NH and CI listeners in two speaker voice conditions. Results: For normal hearing listeners, speech reception thresholds (SRTs) and measurement errors were in line with previous DIN validations for all voice conditions. The different speaker voices, recording settings and language backgrounds did not significantly affect SRTs. The results of the CI group were similar between male and female speaker voices and overall comparable to previous studies, but different to the simulated CI group. Digit optimization slightly improved SRTs and test slopes for the NH groups, but not for the CI group for whom test slopes decreased with optimisation. Conclusions: The DIN test is a robust measure of auditory perception across variations in digit stimuli and listener groups. Findings were generally in line with previous studies but suggested a limited impact of digit optimization on DIN test outcomes in English, especially for CI listeners. Depending on the intended application, DIN test development may be simplified to facilitate its application to new languages and user groups for increased inclusion.
Internalized Racism, Stress, and Health: A Comprehensive Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Model Test of the Internalized Racism Framework
Authors: James Drexler , Bowling Alicia M , Moeyaert Mariola , Iyer Kaavya
Published: January 2025

Internalized racism (IR) among ethnoracial minorities refers to the internalization of prejudiced beliefs, stereotypes, and attitudes that devalue their group while upholding the superiority of dominant ethnoracial groups. Previous research suggests a positive association between IR and poor health. We used meta-analytic structural equation modeling analyses to test assumptions of the Internalized Racism Framework (IRF), which posits that IR-poor health associations are explained by stress processes and engagement in health-compromising behaviors. We synthesized correlation effects from 174 independent studies (45,483 participants) between 1982–2024. Results showed that IR was positively associated with (a) psychological stress (k = 198), (b) biophysiological stress (k = 18), (c) engagement in health-compromising behaviors (k = 52), and (d) negative mental (k = 324) and (e) physical health (k = 41). Conversely, IR was negatively associated with (a) positive mental (k = 45) and (b) physical health (k = 14). The positive mental and physical health associations were no longer significant after accounting for covariates, including gender, age, ethnoracial group, publication year, peer-review status, and the form and evaluative focus of IR. The IR-negative mental health association was partially explained by engagement in health-compromising behaviors. Robustness analyses found no evidence of publication bias, and evidence that study quality only moderated the IR-positive mental health relationship. These findings support an expansion of the IRF to include the IR-Stress-Vulnerability Model, which highlights bidirectional relationships between IR, stress, engagement in health-compromising behavior, and health. This expanded model has implications for understanding and addressing IR among ethnoracial minoritized groups.
A semi-automated method for constructing three-dimensional models of complex fault networks
Authors: Howell Andrew , McLennan Tim , Penney Camilla , Nicol Andrew , Seebeck Hannu , Van Dissen Russ , Williams Charles , Fry Bill
Published: January 2025

Fault geometry and the connectivity between faults at depth are both important controls on the nucleation, propagation and arrest of earthquake rupture, so modelling these parameters accurately is essential to models of the earthquake cycle. However, simulations involving complex three-dimensional (3D) fault systems rarely explore the sensitivity of results to uncertainties in geometry and connectivity — either in terms of modelled earthquake characteristics or impacts such as ground shaking and surface deformation. In many cases, geometry-related sensitivity testing is limited because it is challenging to construct a suite of alternative fault models that span the range of plausible fault geometries, intersections and connections; such alternative models are especially difficult to construct for systems where faults truncate or cross-cut each other at depth. We present a new, semi-automated method that simplifies creation of 3D models of networks of tens or hundreds of faults, combining open-source python tools with the meshing capabilities of Leapfrog(TM) software. The new workflow reduces the time to create a fault model of 113 faults in central Aotearoa New Zealand by ~80%, from 25 hours to 5 hours of human input. This improvement significantly decreases the effort required to create multiple alternative fault geometries, making detailed sensitivity analyses more feasible. The applicability of the workflow is demonstrated for the creation of three alternative models of fault geometries for central Aotearoa New Zealand.
The Written Self: Decoding Personality and Sex Differences Through Explainable AI
Authors: Saeteros David , Domínguez-Álvarez Beatriz , Gallardo-Pujol David , Ortiz-Martínez Daniel
Published: January 2025

This study demonstrates how natural language processing and explainable AI techniques can advance our understanding of personality psychology, using sex differences in language as a case study. By analyzing stream-of-consciousness essays from 2,240 undergraduates using BERT with integrated gradients attribution, we identify distinct linguistic markers that characterize sex-specific trait expression. Our approach illustrates how explainability methods can help to detect systematic variations in language patterns across different trait levels and between males and females. Logistic regression analyses reveal Neuroticism as the strongest predictor of language typical of each sex (OR = 2.11, p ≤ .001), followed by Extraversion and Agreeableness. The model achieves 82.8\% accuracy in sex classification, and the explainability technique shows that sex differences in language often diminish at extreme trait levels. The study's methodological contribution lies in demonstrating how explainable AI can advance personality assessment by providing interpretable insights into the complex interaction between sex and personality in natural language use. The study also illustrates how explainable AI can advance personality assessment beyond descriptive statistics to provide interpretable insights into complex psychological phenomena, demonstrating a framework for deeper exploration of personality psychology findings.

Many psychological theories imply that the degree of congruence between two variables (e.g., self-rated and objectively measured intelligence) is related to some psychological outcome (e.g., life satisfaction). Such congruence hypotheses can be tested with response surface analysis (RSA), in which a second-order polynomial regression model is estimated and suitably interpreted. Whereas several strategies exist for this interpretation, they all contain rationales that diminish the probability of drawing correct conclusions. For example, a frequently applied strategy involves calculating six auxiliary parameters from the estimated regression weights and accepting the congruence hypothesis if they satisfy certain conditions. In testing the conditions, a nonsignificant null-hypothesis test of some parameters is taken as evidence that the parameter is zero. This interpretation is formally inadmissible and adversely affects the probability of making correct decisions about the congruence hypothesis. We address this limitation of the six-parameter strategy and of other RSA-strategies by proposing that statistical equivalence testing (SET) be integrated into RSA. We compare the existing and new RSA-strategies with a simulation study and find that the SET-strategies are sensible alternatives to the existing strategies. We provide code templates for implementing the SET-strategies.
Reward as a Facet of Word Meaning: Ratings of Motivation for 8601 English Words

Published: January 2025

Semantic representations arise from a distillation of multiple sources of information, including sensory, motor, affective, interoceptive, linguistic and cognitive experience. Experience of reward is a highly salient aspect of many human activities, and yet its contribution to semantic processing is not well understood. To address this, the present study took a psycholinguistic approach to measuring and evaluating associations with reward as a facet of word meaning. Behavioral and neurophysiological data suggest reward processing involves multiple stages and mechanisms. For instance, systems associated with the experience and anticipation of pleasure in response to a reward appear distinct from motivational processes that underlie pursuit of a stimulus. We sought to collect a novel set of word ratings that capture the full extent of reward-related experience. Initial explorations revealed that reward/pleasure ratings are highly correlated with existing norms of emotional valence. Ratings of association with motivation, however, were only moderately correlated with valence, suggesting they capture distinct semantic information. We therefore conducted a preregistered large-scale study to obtain motivation ratings for 8601 words. Our analyses suggest these ratings capture aspects of word meaning which are distinct from other semantic dimensions, such as concreteness and valence. Moreover, they explain unique variance in participant performance on lexical, semantic, and recognition memory tasks. We combined motivation and emotional valence ratings to provide a composite measure that might approximate a more general ‘reward’ construct. However, this was worse at explaining task performance than the individual variables. We discuss implications of these results for neurocognitive theories of semantics.

Thinking infrastructurally about the EU’s Circular Economy regulation: fostering the interaction between EU product and waste regimes
Authors: Tsiatsianis Dimitris
Published: January 2025

The current piece is a working paper exploring the European Union's Circular Economy regulation as a Legal Infrastructure that promotes the flow of normative meaning from the regime of EU product law to that of EU waste law - both featuring as indispensable components of CE. To this end, the paper draws on the theory of regime interaction emerging in international legal scholarship and applies it to the field of EU law and in particular its CE regulation.
A Secondary Research Perspective on Intergenerational Occupational Mobility in Bangladesh
Authors: Ajax Ava
Published: January 2025

Intergenerational occupational mobility, the ability of individuals to move across occupational statuses relative to their parents, is a key measure of social equity and economic opportunity. While extensively studied in the context of developing economies, research on Bangladesh often focuses on specific factors—such as education, financial resources, or cultural norms—without integrating insights across urban and rural settings. This paper addresses this gap by conducting a secondary analysis of existing studies to examine how socio-economic and structural factors collectively shape occupational mobility in Bangladesh. Synthesizing findings from diverse research sources, the paper highlights the stark contrasts in mobility pathways between urban and rural areas and identifies the interconnected dynamics that influence these trajectories. The analysis reveals how disparities in access to education, labor markets, social networks, and financial resources contribute to differing mobility outcomes. By offering a holistic perspective, this study underscores the need for integrated policy frameworks to address regional disparities and promote equitable opportunities for mobility. Furthermore, the findings emphasize the broader economic implications of mobility barriers, including their impact on human capital development, innovation, and resource allocation. This integrative approach provides valuable insights for policymakers aiming to foster sustainable and inclusive growth in Bangladesh.
Unruly Practices at the Border: From Mobility Regimes to Infrastructures in Latin America
Authors: Laurence Andrea Jiménez , Hoffmann Florian F.
Published: January 2025

The aim of this paper is to present a general and nonexhaustive overview of the legal infrastructures that configure cross-border movement in Latin America. It draws on the mobility approach, regime interaction, and (legal) infrastructural studies, which, together, provide a tentative analytical framework for the legal infrastructuring processes that we observe around border regulation in Latin America, an (arguably) understudied but core mobility hotspot. We present - in the form of several vignettes - different outcomes of infrastucturing processes which either enable or impede cross border mobility. This approach reveals the dynamic nature of law surrounding mobility and its apparent contradictions and unintended consequences. It concludes that the shift to an infrastructural account of the law can help us gain a more holistic and, therefore, more realistic understanding of how the law works over time, how it infrastructures crossborder mobility beyond and sometimes against states' intentions and expectations, and how people on the move have more agency than the snapshot image of (forced) migration law conveys.
Ethnography of The Traditional Dhaka Makers: A Case Study of Terathum District

Published: January 2025

Integrating the fundamental cultural behaviors that define human nature across the globe. In underdeveloped nations like Nepal, the traditional weaving sector has been marginalized in the neoliberal culture. This study employed the qualitative ethnographic technique, utilizing both formal and informal interviews as well as observation methods to examine the influence of start-up entrepreneurship on the development of demandbased markets. The study's findings indicate that weaving is a highly significant cultural practice in rural areas, as well as in local towns and district headquarters of the country. In addition, the traditional weavers in Nepal, who are known for their expertise in creating Dhaka fabric, are resistant to adopting new and changed designs. Although a few traditional weavers have initiated a business at the field site. Integrating the fundamental cultural activities that define humanity throughout different societies worldwide.
