Impact of Liquidity on the Profitability of the Commercial Banks of Nepal
Authors: Pandey Churamani , Budhthoki Rupesh Kumar
Published: December 2021

The study aims to examine the impact of liquidity on the profitability of Nepalese commercial banks. Investment ratio, capital ratio and liquidity ratio are the independent variables and return on assets is dependent variable. Secondary sources of data have been used from the annual reports of sampled commercial banks. The regression models are estimated to test the effect of bank liquidity on performance of Nepalese commercial banks. Study results reveal that investment ratios and liquidity ratios are negatively related to return on assets indicating that higher the investment ratios and liquidity ratios, lower would be the return on assets and vice versa. Further, the relationship between capital ratios and return on assets is found to be positive indicating that higher the capital ratios of the bank, higher would be the return on assets. Similarly, beta coefficient for capital ratio is positively significant with bank performance, which indicates that increase in capital ratio leads to increase the performance of the banks. However, beta coefficients for investment ratio and liquidity ratio are negative with return on assets indicating increased liquidity ratio and investment ratio decrease the return on assets of the bank.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the predominant form of liver cancer worldwide, can be triggered by a variety of causes such as chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The immune response to HBV activates the janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway. Suppressor of cytokine singnaling 1 (SOCS1) is a negative feedback regulator of JAK/STAT pathway. Our study was carried out to evaluate SOCS1 mRNA expression and its correlation with paraclinical characteristics in patients with HBV-related HCC. The SOCS1 mRNA expression level in adjacent non-tumour tissues and tumour liver tissues were determined in 44 patients with HBV infection-associated HCC by real-time RT-PCR. Our results showed that SOCS1 mRNA expression level in adjacent non-tumour tissues were significantly higher than in HCC tissues (p=0.003). High expression of SOCS1 in adjacent non-tumour tissue was observed in patients with single tumour (p=0.024), tumour size ≤5 cm (p=0.011), vascular invasion (p=0.047), and no vascular invasion (p=0.007). Red blood cell counts were positively correlated with SOCS1 gene expression (Spearman’s rho=0.359, p=0.018). Our results suggested that SOCS1expression may be considered as a potential factor involved in the pathogenesis of HCC.

The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of E. coli carrying the gene encoding ESBLs in patients with common diseases visiting primary health care centres in 8 provinces of the Northern region (Ha Noi, Ha Nam, Hai Duong, Bac Ninh), the Central region (Thua Thien - Hue, Khanh Hoa), and the Southern region (Can Tho, Ben Tre) of Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was implemented on patients with symptoms of diarrhea, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and respiratory infections. The study used questionnaires to collect epidemiological information and samples to culture, isolate and test E. coli carrying genes encoding ESBLs by PCR technique. The results showed that the percentage of E. coli bacteria carrying genes encoding ESBLs was relatively high (57.4%), the highest rate was in E. coli bacteria on patients with diarrhea (65.4%), followed by urinary tract infections (22.1%), pneumonia (8.82%) and skin infections (3.68%). The rate of co-infection with two genes accounted for 40.9%. The TEM gene was dominant (88.2%), followed by the CTX-M gene (51%). Different types of specimens were also found to have a different rate of carrying this gene. E. coli isolated in the Southern region has a lower risk of carrying genes encoding antibiotic-resistant ESBL, only 42% of the Nothern region’s rates (RR=0.42, p<0.001). Families that used antibiotics also had a higher rate of being infected with bacteria carrying genes encoding ESBLs than families that did not use antibiotics.

Published: December 2021

The black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is the widely cultured aquaculture species in Vietnam and worldwide. Production of P. monodon postlarvae still relies on the wild broodstock due to their higher fecundity and larval quality in comparison with the domesticated broodstock. Therefore, the current study applied an RNA-sequencing approach by the Illumina platform to generate the transcriptomic resources for the wild and domesticated females at the previtellogenic stage of ovaries (stage 0). Total clean reads were 20,977,708 for the wild female and 31,185,197 for the domesticated female. De novoassembly was employed to generate 35,870 contigs with an average length of 1,018 bp and N50 length of 1,488 bp. The ratios of contigs possessing significant similarity through annotation across seven databases ranged from 19.74 to 47.77%. Top hit species from BLASTx searches included Hyalella azteca, Cryptotermes secundus, Zootermopsis nevadensis, followed by Penaeus sp.. We identified a total of 5,788 differentially expressed transcripts between the ovaries of wild and domesticated shrimps. The differentially expressed transcripts were further enriched according to the classification terms of Gene Ontology (GO). Results of GO enrichment analysis in the wild female indicated that many genes such as hemolymph clottable, peritrophin, ecdysteroid were up-regulated while the following genes, including serine protease, alpha-L-fucosidase-like, actin, catenin alpha were down-regulated. The current study provides more transcriptomic resources for the reproductive trait in P. monodon. These resources are potentially applied for the improvement of reproduction in the domesticated shrimp.

Published: December 2021

Various common diseases caused by bacteria and viruses are increasing threats to the production of bananas worldwide. Besides the practical application of cultivation techniques, intensive exploitation of resistant genes, most of which belong to the NBS-LRR(Nucleotide-binding site - Leucine-rich repeat) gene family, in fortifying banana’s disease resistance, has been considered as a sustainable approach. The recently published genome assembly of Musa acuminata, a species of the Musa genus native to Southern Asia, has facilitated the genome-wide identification and characterisation of NBS-LRR genes. In the present study, an in-silicoapproach was employed to identify and characterise 97 NBS-LRR genes and their evolution in M. acuminatagenome. Except Ma_NBS_083 belonging to the RNLsub-family, other identified genes are members of the sub-family CNL and most of them contain only one exon. Sixty-six (66) NBS-LRR genes (68%) were mapped on 11 banana chromosomes, among them 38 genes (39%) located in clusters. Phylogenetic analysis in combination with conserved motif identification classified the banana NBS-LRR genes into seven groups. This study provides novel insight into the NBS-LRR gene family in bananas as a potential resource for further research in functional evaluation and utilisation of resistant genes.

The article considers the role of marketing management in the development strategy of a sports organization. In market economic relations, the development of a sports organization can be successful and effective only on the basis of the concept of marketing. The modern conditions of functioning of sports organizations are determined. The development of sports organizations in Ukraine is constrained by the imperfection of current legislative and regulatory documents of all levels, which does not allow the introduction of modern organizational, financial, economic, innovative and marketing technologies to ensure effective functioning. The importance of the marketing approach in the management of a sports organization in modern business conditions is shown. The marketing approach in the management of a sports organization means a systemic, program-targeted mechanism of interaction of marketing and management tools to adapt the organization to changes in the market environment to meet the needs of users of sports products and the organization's goals for efficient use of resources. It is proved that the use of marketing approach in the management of a sports organization provides feedback to users of a sports product and allows you to develop measures that best meet customer demands and respond quickly to constant changes in the market environment. On the basis of the conducted market research of the market of a sports product and definition of potential of development of the sports organization the directions of maintenance of its competitive advantages are formed. Summarizing the obtained results, the relationship between the purpose for which the respondents use the sports product and the priorities of the sports organization (sports school) when choosing a sports school is established. It was determined that the motives of parents were divided into three dominant groups, which correlated with the largest number of indicators (correlation coefficient - 0.87). The target audience focuses on the condition of the material and technical base, the qualification of the coaching staff and the number of trained champions. Practical meaning. Marketing measures to increase the efficiency of sports product promotion are proposed: to actively implement creative, creative approaches with the use of modern management technologies. Prospects for further research. The need to justify a marketing approach in the management of a sports organization will be determined, which will allow to adapt to market changes to market changes and create a more qualitative and relevant sports product.

The modern diseases of civilization include obesity, diabetes mellitus or insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative and oncological diseases. Much more often, a modern person makes a choice in favor of tasty and high-calorie food, which is not standard in terms of the content of vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids and minerals. It is difficult to imagine that such a chronic deficiency of essential molecules could be beneficial for the evolution of humanity. Rather, on the contrary, we observe a number of metabolic changes, including those due to dysmicroelementosis, which undoubtedly lead to the development of various diseases of civilization. In this review, we presented the key functions of micronutrients and pathological conditions associated with their deficiency.

Published: December 2021

Based on an independent analysis of artifacts, ancestral tree and astronomical phenomena related to the deeds, life and death of the Prophet Muhammad, as well as historical evidence of the first appearance and legal use of the Quran in the life of Muslims, the author drew conclusions about the integration of several historical figures of the VII and XII centuries into the personality of the Prophet Muhammad. They became Khagan Kubrat, aka Emperor Heraclius, the Arabian Prophet or Caliph of the Rashidun Caliphs and the true Prophet Muhammad, who lived in 1090–1052. The Quran was created in 1130–1152. The proposed interpretation does not undermine the canons of the faith of Islam, but establishes the truth.

The Art as a Representation of the Existential
Authors: Stupin Sergey
Published: December 2021

The survey research was fulfilled within the interdisciplinary approaches “anthropology of art” and “existential art science”, updating the concept of “anthropic principle in artistic creativity” demanded by modern humanitarian science. The relevance of the topic is due to the special attention of the art of modern times to existential problems: art practice of the late 19th – the first two decades of the 21st century to the present day in its species, style and genre diversity actively present anthropological terms and meanings. The author of the article emphasizes the immanent nature of the existential foundations of artistic creativity, points to the special role of the phenomenon of Homo faber (man creating) in the composition of Homo sapiens as a biological species, but at the same time pays attention to the role of existential philosophy (starting with S. Kierkegaard), which influenced shaping strategies in world art. The author is interested in ways to represent existential meanings with the plastic capabilities of fine art, procedural forms of neo-avangard, screen arts, theater, poetry, and artistic prose. Special attention is paid to the anthropological potential of the art form — minimal elements of the language of art, plastic nuances of the means of artistic explanation. Within the stereoscopic existential-art-historical approach, the reader is invited to evaluate both the works of modern painting, graphics, sculpture, poetry and fiction, cinema and video art of Russia and the world, which have already become classics and practically unknown to the general public. A detailed panorama of images and languages of art is designed to represent the hypostasis of an existential person — transcending, creating, free, suffering, lonely, loving, frightening, experiencing the experience of death. The mentioned phenomena are considered as structural elements of the system of the existence of human being created by the author, analyzed from an aesthetic and artistic perspective. A similar method of analysis in this context is used for the first time in world science.

Don Lindberg’s outreach legacy at the National Library of Medicine
Authors: Siegel Elliot R.
Published: December 2021

Friends and colleagues of Donald A.B. Lindberg M.D. came together to give tribute to his extraordinary contributions during his tenure (1984–2015) as Director of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). Dr. Lindberg died in 2019. The book, Transforming biomedical informatics and health information access: Don Lindberg and the U.S. National Library of Medicine. includes four sections. The ten edited chapters in section three (the Outreach section) are briefly summarized in this overview. As Associate Director for Health Information Programs Development, Elliot R. Siegel Ph.D. coordinated NLM’s outreach programming under Dr. Lindberg’s leadership from its inception in 1989 to his own retirement in 2010. Dr. Lindberg’s legacy at NLM is one of new possibilities imagined, significant changes made in the mission and ethos of a venerable institution, and numerous successes achieved in a variety of settings and contexts. Like so much else Dr. Lindberg accomplished, these Outreach programs that profoundly changed the character of NLM would likely not have occurred without him. He made a difference.
NLM’s revolution in consumer health information to improve patient outcomes
Authors: Cravedi Kathleen
Published: December 2021

Under the leadership of NLM Director Donald A.B. Lindberg M.D., the National Library of Medicine (NLM) continued to promote its services to the nation’s health care professionals and scientists. With support of the U.S. Congress, it initiated new communications and outreach programs and services directed at the general public that revolutionized their access to information as well. Because effective health communication must be tailored for the audience and the situation, Lindberg supported the development of online health information tools designed to help consumers find free, comprehensive, timely, and trustworthy sources of health information that, ultimately, can improve patient outcomes. New and popular consumer-friendly websites were championed by Lindberg, including MedlinePlus, and ClincialTrials.gov, and he formed unique partnerships with national physician organizations to educate their patients about reliable sources of health information from the NLM. A new era of timely and trusted online health information for the general public began in 2006 under Lindberg’s tenure culminating in the development, publication and distribution of NIH’s first consumer magazine, NIH MedlinePlus, featuring the research and findings of the NIH. In his effort to improve patient outcomes, Dr. Lindberg revolutionized the Library’s outreach capabilities and successfully expanded its mission to serve not only health professionals and scientists, but also consumers nationwide.
HIV/AIDS community information outreach program (ACIOP): A landmark NIH conference and an enduring NLM role in meeting the affected community’s need for information access
Authors: Dutcher Gale A.
Published: December 2021

In June 1993, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) joined with the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Office of AIDS Research (OAR), and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to host a conference at a pivotal time in the HIV/AIDS epidemic to understand better the information needs of five major constituency groups: clinical researchers; clinical providers; news media and the public; patients; and the affected community. NLM’s director, Donald A.B. Lindberg M.D., and staff sought to identify new program possibilities benefitting from the input of current and potential users of the Library’s information services. Conference recommendations led to a key NLM policy change providing cost-free access to all AIDS data, and the establishment of the HIV/AIDS community information outreach program (ACIOP), which enabled new partnerships with local community-based organizations serving the affected community. Uniquely funded and long running, more than 300 ACIOP projects have been supported to-date. These projects have improved awareness and use of national HIV/AIDS information resources; enhanced information seeking skills; developed locally generated information resources; and enhanced the capacity of community-based organizations to use new information and computer technologies providing access to essential information resources and services.

BITNIS — Bridging the information gap before the web
Authors: Cid Victor
Published: December 2021

Before the modern internet and World Wide Web drastically simplified our access to scientific information, accessing the authoritative information of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) from outside the U.S. was for many very difficult. Compared to the totality of people with access to computers globally at the time, only a privileged group of biomedical researchers and practitioners could afford this access. The NLM was making great contributions developing products and collaborations to reduce the information gap for many underserved communities. This article describes a remarkable initiative started from the other end, underserved information users creating a solution to help the international community reach the NLM resources. Donald A.B.

Background:

Cerebral white matter lesions (WML) are related to a higher risk of vascular and Alzheimer’s dementia. Moreover, oligomerized amyloid-β (OAβ) can be measured from blood for dementia screening.

Objective:

We aimed to investigate the relationship of plasma OAβ levels with clinical and radiological variables in a health screening population.

Methods:

WML, other volumetric parameters of magnetic resonance images, cognitive assessment, and plasma OAβ level were evaluated.

Results:

Ninety-two participants were analyzed. The majority of participants’ clinical dementia rating was 0 or 0.5 (96.7%). White matter hyperintensities (WMH) increased with age, but OAβ levels did not (r2 = 0.19, p < 0.001, r2 = 0.03, p = 0.10, respectively). No volumetric data, including cortical thickness/hippocampal volume, showed any significant correlation with OAβ. Log-WMH volume was positively correlated with OAβ ( r = 0.24, p = 0.02), and this association was significant in the periventricular area. White matter signal abnormalities from 3D-T1 images were also correlated with the OAβ in the periventricular area ( p = 0.039). Multivariate linear regression showed that log-WMH values were independently associated with OAβ ( B = 0.879 (95% confidence interval 0.098 –1.660, p = 0.028)). Higher tertiles of WMH showed higher OAβ levels than lower tertiles showed ( p = 0.044). Using a cutoff of 0.78 ng/mL, the high OAβ group had a larger WMH volume, especially in the periventricular area, than the low OAβ group ( p = 0.036).

Conclusion:

Both WML and plasma OAβ levels can be early markers for neurodegeneration in the healthcare population. The lesions, especially in the periventricular area, might be related to amyloid pathogenesis, which strengthens the importance of WML in the predementia stage.

PURPOSE: Aside from typical symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo, persons with vestibular disorders often have cognitive and motor problems. These symptoms have been assessed in single-task condition. However, dual-tasks assessing cognitive-motor interference might be an added value as they reflect daily life situations better. Therefore, the 2BALANCE protocol was developed. In the current study, the test-retest reliability of this protocol was assessed. METHODS: The 2BALANCE protocol was performed twice in 20 healthy young adults with an in-between test interval of two weeks. Two motor tasks and five different cognitive tasks were performed in single and dual-task condition. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), the standard error of measurement, and the minimal detectable difference were calculated. RESULTS: All cognitive tasks, with the exception of the mental rotation task, had favorable reliability results (0.26≤ICC≤0.91). The dynamic motor task indicated overall substantial reliability values in all conditions (0.67≤ICC≤0.98). Similar results were found for the static motor task during dual-tasking (0.50≤ICC≤0.92), but were slightly lower in single-task condition (–0.26≤ICC≤0.75). CONCLUSIONS: The 2BALANCE protocol was overall consistent across trials. However, the mental rotation task showed lowest reliability values.
Exponential Ant-Lion Rider Optimization for Privacy Preservation in Cloud Computing

Published: December 2021

The innovative trend of cloud computing is outsourcing data to the cloud servers by individuals or enterprises. Recently, various techniques are devised for facilitating privacy protection on untrusted cloud platforms. However, the classical privacy-preserving techniques failed to prevent leakage and cause huge information loss. This paper devises a novel methodology, namely the Exponential-Ant-lion Rider optimization algorithm based bilinear map coefficient Generation (Exponential-AROA based BMCG) method for privacy preservation in cloud infrastructure. The proposed Exponential-AROA is devised by integrating Exponential weighted moving average (EWMA), Ant Lion optimizer (ALO), and Rider optimization algorithm (ROA). The input data is fed to the privacy preservation process wherein the data matrix, and bilinear map coefficient Generation (BMCG) coefficient are multiplied through Hilbert space-based tensor product. Here, the bilinear map coefficient is obtained by multiplying the original data matrix and with modified elliptical curve cryptography (MECC) encryption to maintain data security. The bilinear map coefficient is used to handle both the utility and the sensitive information. Hence, an optimization-driven algorithm is utilized to evaluate the optimal bilinear map coefficient. Here, the fitness function is newly devised considering privacy and utility. The proposed Exponential-AROA based BMCG provided superior performance with maximal accuracy of 94.024%, maximal fitness of 1, and minimal Information loss of 5.977%.
Directing models of author cinema in the context of intercultural dialogue. Part 1. Co-production as a way to implement the producing and directing models
Authors: Pogrebnyak Galyna
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to identify problems of intercultural cooperation in the production and distribution of films directed by auteur cinema and to identify scientific guidelines that will contribute to a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of Ukrainian auteur cinema in the intercultural space. Methodology. An analytical method was used to study the topic, which is necessary to study the art history and cultural aspects of the problem. In addition, the researcher used methods of systematization and generalization, which were useful to argue the identity of the phenomenon of directing auteur cinema, its place in modern cultural processes, as well as to determine the objective patterns that characterize auteur cinematographic practices in modern intercultural space. A cross-cultural method was also used, which helped to identify the peculiarities of production and distribution of films directed by auteur films in the system of international cooperation. In turn, the culturological approach led to a generalized socio-cultural orientation of the study of the author's cinema of postmodern and postmodern culture. The scientific novelty of the study is that the problem of intercultural cooperation in the production and distribution of auteur cinema in Ukraine and abroad in the context of the functioning of international support programs has first become the subject of a special study; the content of the concepts "intercultural dialogue", "co-production" as certain specific integrity and unity of interconnected elements are argued; the works of Ukrainian film directors-authors, whose films were created as international projects, are singled out and characterized; the expediency of using the system method in studying the peculiarities of the international filmmaking process is proved; a comprehensive analysis and features of production and distribution of films by directors-authors in co-production projects in Ukraine and abroad. Conclusions. Acquaintance with the materials presented in the article expands the arsenal of knowledge on the specifics of production and distribution of films of directorial models of auteur cinema within intercultural projects and allows their use in training courses on the theory and history of cinema and directing.
Key words: intercultural dialogue, director-author, producer, Ukrainian author's cinema, co-production, director's model of authorship.
