Causes and effects of rural-urban migration in Nepal: Case of Dev Community in Biratnagar
Authors: Chaudhary Sandip
Published: February 2025

The study aims to analyze the reasons behind the migration from rural areas of the Saptari district to Biratnagar Metropolitan City, Koshi Province of Nepal, as well as to examine the changes in their socioeconomic status among the Dev community. It explores the influences of migration in occupation, income, lifestyle, land ownership, and other socioeconomic factors among the members of the Dev community in Biratnagar, using a qualitative approach. A total of thirty-three household respondents were purposively selected and interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire and checklist. The data gathered from primary sources in the field reveal significant changes in socioeconomic fields compared to the past. Traditionally, the Dev community engaged in agriculture and livestock; however, currently, very few members are involved in agriculture even in their native places. Instead, most have transitioned to the service sector, with only a small number participating in business activities. The primary motivations driving rural-urban migration include the search for employment opportunities and quality of livelihood.

Authors: Khandaker Nadim Reza , Rafiq Sahil , Ebney Bashar S.M Rayhan
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the vital role of biomass and biogas as sustainable energy sources for rural areas in Bangladesh and South Asia, where energy needs are primarily met through direct combustion for cooking, agricultural processing, and small-scale industries. The study highlights the urgency for policy reforms and technological advancements to promote renewable energy beyond solar electricity, particularly in regions heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels. One key approach is diversifying biomass sources, including agricultural residues, municipal solid waste, and byproducts from agro-industrial processes. The paper emphasizes the potential of biogas production from various biodegradable waste streams. These include animal excreta, food waste rich in starch, and wastewater from industries, offering a renewable fuel option for rural households and small industries. Additionally, it explores the recovery of energy from high-temperature wastewater in sectors such as textiles and food processing industries. The findings emphasize the need to integrate renewable energy solutions into regional energy policies to support sustainable development.
Development scenario in Nepal has not changed fundamentally
Authors: Whelpton John
Published: February 2025

My book (A History of Nepal) covered the period up to 2004. It was a general history of Nepal so included a lot on economic issues but I am not a development economist so was essentially just trying to synthesize what people with more expertise in that field were saying. Tentatively, I would say that despite the radical political changes since 2004, the development scenario has not changed fundamentally.

Examining the Drivers of Economic Growth in Nepal: A Macroscopic Econometric Analysis
Authors: Poudel Omkar , Acharya Pradeep , Simkhada Daya
Published: February 2025

This article investigates the impact of macroeconomic variables on the economic growth of Nepal. The study focuses on the post-COVID-19 era, addressing the unique challenges faced by both advanced and developing economies. GDP is dependent variable, and independent variables are the consumer price index, exchange rate, gross capital formation, import, broad money supply, remittances, tourism income, and export. Data from 1974 to 2020 are derived from secondary sources, which include macroeconomic data published by Central Bureau of Statistics and Nepal Rastra Bank; a variety of economic surveys published by the Ministry of Finance. The econometric results reveal a robust model, with an R-squared value of 70.66%, indicating a good fit. The researchers employed the Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test to ascertain the stationarity of the variables, while Johansen's Co-integration Test revealed the presence of co-integration within the model. The negative and significant coefficient of VECM expresses the long run relationship and Granger Causality. The findings of the test indicate that there is a two-way causal relationship between gross capital formation and broad money supply with GDP. There is unidirectional causality between the Nepalese consumer price index and GDP, as well as between GDP and remittances, but no causality between the exchange rate, tourism income, exports, and GDP.
The findings confirm that the variables are determinants of economic growth in Nepal. As a result, policymakers should consider these variables for the country's economic growth.

Bangladeshi Transgenders as Other: A Postcolonial Critique of the Film Common Gender
Authors: Shama Mahbuba Sarker
Published: February 2025

Common Gender, a Bangladeshi film of the year 2012, explores the Bangladeshi society which dominates the lives of the transgenders where the latter is always marginalized by the prior powerful class. It is also seen that androgyny people are mistreated not only by their father, siblings, females, and lovers, but also by their mothers. Thus, Hijras are suppressed by the Bangladeshi society which considers them as Other. As postcolonialism focuses on the powerful colonizers who subjugate, beat, and brutally destroy the identity of the subaltern colonized, this movie is discussed in the light of this theory. Both postcolonialism and the film deal with the same themes, but no research has been conducted yet to examine this film which depicts the dehumanization of the subjugated Hijras under the lens of postcolonialism. Transgenders are the colonized subaltern class controlled by the colonizer (our society). Therefore, this qualitative paper attempts to study and connect with the concepts like colonizer, colonized, subaltern, occident, and eurocentrism which are pivotal aspects of postcolonialism. As a result, this research locates the similarities as well as differences between the heterosexual individuals of Bangladesh and the colonizers. It also connects the deprived transgenders with the colonized to trace the meeting and departure points of transgenders and the African colonized.  In this way, it analyzes the film from the perspective of postcolonial theory.
Beauty Boarding and the Dhaka-Based Bengali Intelligentsia: Constructing Memory, Consumerism and Identity
Authors: Talukder Tusar , Mithun Liton Chakraborty
Published: February 2025

Beauty Boarding holds a unique place in Dhaka’s cultural history. Dubbed as Dhaka’s answer to Kolkata’s Coffee House, the establishment offers both dining and lodging facilities. The once vibrant informal literary gatherings spearheaded by many prominent Bengali modernist poets and writers and attended by a group of budding poets and writers regularly for a decade have provided the aura and ethos to the selfhood of the place. However, a massacre of many people by the Pakistani army and their collaborators at Beauty Boarding in the 1971 Liberation War of Bangladesh has made it part of the country’s national history. Consequently, this space carries many memories, most of which have cultural and historical value. By drawing on insights from Halbwachs’s theory of “collective memory,” Lefebvre’s “social production of space,” de Certeau’s “practice of everyday life,” and the concept of “commodification of memory,” this paper investigates how an interplay of memory, space, and culture is central to the identity of Beauty Boarding and how the authority concerned utilises its cultural capital to advance its business interests. It also highlights how a large part of Dhaka-based intelligentsia forms its identity based on its interaction and negotiation with the cultural history of the place.
НЕСУЧА ЗДАТНІСТЬ АРКОВОЇ МОСТОВОЇ СПОРУДИ З ГОФРОВАНОГО МЕТАЛУ ПРИ НЕСИМЕТРИЧНОМУ НАВАНТАЖЕННІ
Authors: Абрамов В. М.
Published: February 2025

Розглянуто питання схеми роботи і спрощеного практичного розрахунку аркових мостових споруд з металевих гофрованих конструкцій (МГК) при несиметричному навантаженні. Це особливо актуально у випадку малої висоти дорожнього насипу над верхом споруди і порівняно великому (для таких споруд) прольоту, тобто, коли навантаження від транспортного засобу діє тільки на частину довжини прольоту арки. Схему роботи аркової мостової споруди розглянуто за умовами плоскої задачі – для арки одиничної ширини, «вирізаної» зі склепіння у найбільш навантаженій його частині. Для розрахунку використано стрижневу розрахункову модель і метод скінчених елементів (МСЕ). На прикладі розрахунку споруди у формі напівкруглої арки з МГК показано схему переміщень арки при несиметричному навантаженні. Показано, зокрема, як пов’язані значення прогину з переміщеннями арки у бік ґрунту і схему формування пружного опору ґрунту. За граничний стан системи «споруда – ґрунт» прийнято досягнення прогину арки, при перевищенні якого можливо небезпечне місцеве осідання поверхні дорожнього покриття над спорудою. Длявизначення частки зовнішнього навантаження, яке сприймається тільки опором ґрунту, арку прийнято як «механізм» з жорстких дисків, які з’єднано шарнірами у місцях концентрації деформацій і напружень. При цьому геометричну незмінність такого «механізму» і статичну рівновагу системи «споруда – ґрунт» забезпечує додатковий зв’язок – стрижень, що моделює пружний опір ґрунту. Зусилля в цьому стрижні прийнято за величину рівнодіючої пружного опору ґрунту при допустимому значенні прогину арки. Величина зовнішнього навантаження, яке сприймається тільки опором ґрунту, розглядається як додаток до несучої здатності арки в системі «споруда – ґрунт» за рахунок опору ґрунту, якщо при цьому прогин арки залишається у межах допустимого.

EXPERIENCE OF DEVELOPING RURAL TERRITORIES IN SUBURBAN AREAS OF THE LARGEST CITIES OF СHINA
Authors: Mykhidenko Marta
Published: February 2025

This article is devoted to the study of the term «rural territory», «urban territory» in the Chinese state. Attention is paid to the experience of arranging rural areas in suburban areas. Four categories of «level system» classifications of cities are considered. Namely: by population, by GDP, by level of development, by administrative division. The article analyzes modern youth trends. Currently, young people prefer permanent residence and employment in rural areas. Not at a high rate, but urbanized cities are losing their relevance. Dense buildings, gas pollution, bad ecology, high rents, etc., all this makes megacities unattractive. And the rural way of life, on the contrary, is becoming popular. It attracts with its nature, sparsely built-up area, small population, ecological consumer products. And even in recent years, the government of the People's Republic of China has been financing programs for the development, reconstruction, and technological development of rural areas. Architectural and town-building projects implemented in rural areas in the zone of influence of the largest cities are considered, and serve as successful examples of improving the standard of living in rural areas. This article can serve as an auxiliary material for the development of strategies and planning of rural areas located in the zone of influence of the largest cities of Ukraine.
COLOUR SYMBOLISM IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Authors: Yueling Wu
Published: February 2025

The article analyzes the role of colour and colour symbolism in traditional Chinese architecture. It is argued that in ancient China, color was not only a means of aesthetic expressiveness of the object but also expressed a certain symbolism and social status of both the owner of the object and the object itself. Using the example of China's most common historical architectural object—a small pavilion—the principles of using colours and the most characteristic variants of colouristics are analyzed. One of features of traditional China architecture is it’s symbolism, that was predetermined by influence on life of society of traditional beliefs. In building of the different functional setting all was regulated and every element had certain maintenance. Here we go near other feature of traditional China architecture, namely to it’s conservatism, as the architectonically-building canons prescribed in legislative documents did not change centuries even at the change of dynasties. From century to century principle of hierarchy in architecture, that had to express status of proprietor, was kept. Unchanging was remained by principle of submission to building, it’s planning and location of elements to principles of feng-shui. Architecture was complemented by the non-material types of art, that especially notedly in landscape-gardening of small forms, when history of pavilion was glorified by poetic lines, pavilions adorned oneself wooden tables with verses.Speaking about symbolism of old architecture of China, it is impossible to go round the theme of symbolism of polichromy, as, unlike European civilization, in China combination of colors was determined by not so much aesthetic properties or by taste of architect or customer, but more social status of object. Unique is circumstance that the requirement of observance of certain symbolism in polichromy was kept in all small forms - pavilions, without regard to their variety and on circumstance that a pavilion became the most widespread type of building of China. Symbolic images and elements of building were painted by open bright colours, where emperor's color all tints were considered yellow and gold, that is why he was used only in the most considerable emperor's pavilions, it touched and the use of yellow tile for roofs. Covered the roofs of pavilions of emperor's family members a green tile. Except these colors, in the pavilions of emperor and his family applied a black, under cornice decorative patterns dyed blue, and supports-posts - red that in China symbolizes happiness. As compared to own palace pavilions, small architectural forms were not such bright through the less meaningfulness and less size, but basic expressiveness was determined by not grandiosity and pomposity (as an ensemble of Gugong in Beijing), but by the refined form with proportional correlation of parts and accordance to surrounding environment.

Authors: Chen Ya-yun , Zhu Qing , Zhu Xiao-li , Li Huan-huan , Li Fu-qiang
Published: February 2025

The anti-neoplastic activities of Scutellaria barbata D. Don have been extensively studied for many years. To investigate the constituents and cytotoxicity of fatty oils extracted from different parts of Scutellaria barbata D. Don, namely seeds, stems, leaves, roots, and flowers, the oils were derived and analyzed using GC-MS. The anti-hepatoma activities of these fatty oils against the SMMC-7721 cell line were evaluated through cell viability assay, Hoechst 33258 staining, and V-FITC/PI staining assay. Western blot analysis quantified apoptosis-related proteins in SMMC-7721 cells treated with SBO. The results demonstrated that SBO exhibited significant anti-hepatoma activities. Fluorescent microscope analysis revealed nucleus shrinkage or fragmentation in cells incubated with SBO, while flow cytometry confirmed pro-apoptotic effects. Protein analysis indicated that SBO induced apoptosis by down-regulating Bcl-2 and p-STAT3, up-regulating Bax, as well as activating caspase 9, caspase 8, and caspase 3 cleavage. The potential mechanisms of SBO-induced apoptosis involved the caspase-8/caspase-3 pathway, the Bcl-2/bax/caspase-9/caspase-3 pathway, and the IL-6/STAT3 pathway.

Authors: Pingkan Lonto Miryam , Sumampouw Olviane
Published: February 2025

Bookkeeping is one of the important things done by every business actor, but it is often ignored by small business actors, especially those in Girian Atas Village. This happens because small business actors do not understand how to make bookkeeping, have not applied the concept of business entities, do not know how to calculate selling prices in accordance with cost accounting theory. Based on this reality, it is necessary to conduct training activities on Bookkeeping and Determination of Selling Price in Small and Medium Enterprises in Girian Atas Village. The activity was carried out in two stages. First, conduct training on bookkeeping and determination of cost of goods sold and selling price. Second, conducting evaluation and monitoring, to see the extent of the results of financial records of SMEs. The results of this activity have an impact on increasing knowledge and understanding of accounting and determining selling prices. Business actors have also been able to make simple financial statements, namely income statements, statements of changes in capital, and balance sheets. This is a good thing, because they can fulfill one of the requirements to apply for a credit loan at the bank, which will certainly help increase the capital of their business.

The people of Sidamulih village have sufficient interest, expertise and appropriate and renewable technology, but there is no special guidance for small community business groups. Several groups of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises of processed food products are constrained in marketing to a wider scope such as to super markets, due to suboptimal product quality and the absence of product information such as nutritional content and product expiration date. This is due to constraints on testing costs and MSMEs' ignorance of the importance of food product quality. The existence of tourism group coaching activities and community institution coaching activities that are still active in improving and testing the quality of processed food products of MSMEs are expected to bridge the interests of the community, especially MSMEs of processed food products to expand their marketing due to increased consumer confidence in product safety. The test results show that the nutritional content of processed MSME products varies, some products have good quality, some are not good. A similar thing happens with product expiry, where some have expiry periods that are too short, making them less suitable for long-term marketing. This problem needs to be followed up with briefings to related MSMEs on good food processing methods, so that processed MSME products will be of better quality and marketable. The next plan is to conduct training on Good Processed Food Processing Methods for MSMEs so that processed products will have better quality so that their marketing is wider.

This service activity is carried out by providing training and assistance to Sunday school coaches and teachers through 3 stages, namely observation, implementation, and ending with evaluation. The results of ongoing community service activities provide benefits, namely the preparation of Culla Sekha Sunday school learning plans, SMB teachers being able to use tangram media and interactive media in Sunday school activities, and the formation of the Maitri Ratna SMB management structure.

One way to develop health is community empowerment in the field of dental and oral health. Based on the 2018 Basic Health Research, it was reported that the prevalence of dental and oral problems in Indonesia is still very high. As many as 93% of school-aged children experience dental and oral problems. This is due to a lack of knowledge and lack of awareness of the Indonesian population regarding dental hygiene. In a series of activities for the 2023 National Dental Health Month, dental and oral health education programs are carried out in schools/School Health Programs. Method: The method is carried out using a cadre training program / Training of Trainers through zoom meetings for teachers and parents of students by providing dental and oral health material. Next, ask them to provide assistance with morning and evening toothbrushing activities for 21 days, teaching children about the benefits of good oral hygiene and showing them how to brush their teeth twice a day. It is preceded by a pretest and at the end of the delivery of the material a post test is given. The results of the evaluation of understanding of the material presented show that there is a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test of prospective cadres, which means that the cadres understand the material well. The new habit of brushing teeth has been quite successful from the uploaded photo documentation and students have recorded well for 21 days. This shows a change in behavior in maintaining dental and oral health.
DEVELOPMENT OF CIBUNTU BABAKAN TOFU VILLAGE TOURIST DESTINATIONS BASED ON COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT THROUGH TOURISM AWARENESS TRAINING AND GUIDING ENGLISH
Authors: Astiana Rachmat , Kemala Zia
Published: February 2025

Babakan Village in Bandung City is known for its tofu industry, particularly Cibuntu Tofu, which has led to the development of a Tourism Village aimed at educating tourists about tofu. The village has begun attracting both local and foreign tourists. However, field observations identified several issues, including the lack of sapta pesona implementation, insufficient guidance, and limited English language skills. To address these challenges, a Community Service program was organized to provide training on tourism awareness, guidance, and basic English skills. This training aimed to enhance the abilities of local resources, particularly Pokdarwis members, who serve as guides, and to encourage the community to embrace sapta pesona as part of the Tourism Aware program. The training used theoretical knowledge transfer and practical simulations, followed by evaluations through quizzes. Fifteen Pokdarwis members, including youth, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and PKK mothers, participated in the program. Post-training surveys indicated that participants found the material both interesting and useful, with many requesting additional training to further enhance their tourism knowledge and skills for the continued development of the tourism village.
EFFORTS TO CONTROL DENGUE VECTORS BY ERADICATING MOSQUITO NESTS AND PLANTING ZODIA PLANTS AS MOSQUITO REPELLENTS IN THE WORKING AREA OF THE SAKO HEALTH CENTER IN PALEMBANG CITY IN 2023
Authors: Priyadi Priyadi , Kamsul Kamsul
Published: February 2025

The current mosquito nest eradication program (PSN) is not optimal, so alternative strategies are needed to overcome the problem. One of them is increasing efforts to eradicate dengue fever vectors, namely Ae. aegypti mosquitoes are the main vectors and Ae. Albopictus is the companion vector. Both types of mosquitoes are found throughout Indonesia, living optimally at altitudes above 1,000 m above sea level, but according to some reports can be found in areas with altitudes up to '1,500 m asl.m'. Aedes mosquitoes are native to Brazil and Ethiopia, and their adult stage is on average smaller than other types of mosquitoes. The efforts made are to socialize and cultivate zodiac plants as mosquito repellent, thus having an impact on reducing cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in the Sako Health Center area which continues to increase every year. The location of community service activities is the working area of the Sako Health Center where the incidence of dengue fever is quite high. Intended to serve the community, the methods used are by existing theories and research findings, namely Puskesmas, and officers in their target locations make efforts to plant/utilize zodiac plants to reduce the risk of disease cases—dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF).
