Wykorzystanie wybranych metod wielowymiarowej analizy porównawczej do oceny poziomu zjawiska przestępczości w powiatach Polski w 2012 roku
Authors: Dubiec Gabriela
Published: August 2020

The article attempts to identify particularly vulnerable counties which are prone to the phenomenon of crime and to create crime maps using multi-dimensional comparative analysis (MCA). As a tool for comparing Polish counties in terms of crime and identifying factors determining it, the article uses two MCA methods, i.e. the pattern and anti-pattern method, and the Ward method as an ex-ample of a hierarchical grouping method. Therefore, a synthetic measure of crime was determined, which replaces the set of many features of the examined objects (in this case they are variables characterising crime) into one aggregated normalised variable. This approach not only enables the assessment of counties using one quantity, but also allows them to be ordered in terms of the phe-nomenon under consideration.

The aim of the article is to assess the relations between the Chinese and Japanese stock exchanges in relation to the American and European markets represented by the German market and to assess the impact of price fluctuations of the S&P500 and DAX indices on Asian stock exchange indices. In the study, the ADF test was used, according to which the degree of integration of the studied processes was determined and an appropriate class of distributed lag models and error correction was selected for the assessment of short- and long-term dependencies. The results of the conducted analysis clearly indicate that Asian exchanges are linked to both the American and German markets, but only in the case of index pairs NI225-DAX and SSEC-SP500 was the co-integration of processes confirmed, i.e. their joint pursuit of a long-term balance. In the case of the remaining pairs, co-in-tegration has not been confirmed, which means that there is a spurious correlation and therefore, a correct analysis of the mutual relations in these cases allows only short-term relationships to be detected. The results of the article may be helpful in choosing an investment strategy on Asian ex-changes adapted to its time horizon.
New Industrial Countries in Global Trade in 2007–2018
Authors: Kundera Jarosław
Published: August 2020

After 2007 year the world economy entered not only a financial crisis, but also structural changes in the international division of labor. The crisis affected different sectors and trading partners, which influences their position in the global economy. While world trade has returned to a dynamic growth path since 2011, the global economy has undergone qualitative change due to the decline in exchange of well-developed countries and growth in trade of New Industrial Countries (NIC). The emerging trends of trade after the crisis is worth examining, for at least two reasons: firstly, because, through the crisis, they verify the theories of international trade, while at the same time giving a response — the thesis of which theories correspond to modern reality. Secondly, they shed light on the shaping of the future division of labor in the global economy and the new balance between sectors and partners. After 2007, international exchange was growing by increasing the demand for technologically advanced products, on diversity, and on services. The increase of NIC in global trade points to the importance of competitiveness factors, diffusion of knowledge and development of Global Value Chains. The EU and the USA are seeing the steady progress of NIC, especially when it comes to exchanging office and telecommunications equipment, chemicals, computers, construction and travel services, but they are of marginal importance when it comes to charges for intellectual property rights.

The article contains an analysis of the initiatives aimed at supporting the development of the corporate bonds market in three Asian economies: South Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand. These countries, after difficult experiences from the 1997 crisis, undertook initiatives focused on the development of domestic debt financial markets, mainly corporate bonds denominated in local currency. Case studies of three Asian economies show that the sustainable development of domestic debt markets can be fostered, among others, by: a high level of creditor rights protection, increased market access for institutional investors, in particular domestic ones, regional economic integration, increased market transparency, functioning of the rating agencies — domestic and the presence of global ones, availability of ratings and raising financial awareness in society.

Published: August 2020

Orhan Gazi zamanında fethedilen ve henüz kuruluş aşamasındaki Osmanlı Devleti’nin ikinci başkenti olan Bursa’nın çehresi, fethin akabinde kısa sürede değişmiş; yapılan imar ve inşâ faaliyetleriyle şehir siyasi ve ticari açıdan önem kazanmakla birlikte ilim, kültür ve sanat merkezi olarak da ön plana çıkmaya başlamıştır. Şehrin başkentliği kısa sürse de Bursa, asırlar boyunca Osmanlı Devleti’nin çeşitli coğrafyalarından gelen ilim ve sanat erbabının uğrak yeri olmuştur. Osmanlılar döneminde yetiştirdiği önemli devlet adamlarıyla siyasi tarihimizde; musikî, hüsn-i hat, minyatür, ebru, nakış vb. birçok klasik sanatta söz sahibi olmuş sanatçılarla da kültür ve sanat tarihimizde ayrı bir yere sahip olan Bursa, edebiyat tarihimizde önde gelen birçok şair ve yazarın memleketi olması hasebiyle de dikkat çekmektedir.
Bu çalışmanın konusunu klasik edebiyat döneminde yetiştirdiği şair sayısı itibarıyla İstanbul’dan sonra ikinci sırada yer alan Bursa’nın önde gelen şairlerinden Haylî Ahmed Çelebi ve şiirleri teşkil etmektedir. Asker şairlerimizden olan Haylî XVII. asırda yaşamış, ömrü cenk meydanlarında geçmiş ve Bağdat seferi esnasında şehit olmuştur. Kaynaklarda şairin dîvânı olduğu bilgisi kayıtlıysa da eser günümüze ulaşamamıştır. Bu makalede hayatı hakkında eski kaynaklarda çok fazla bilgi bulunmasına rağmen biyografisi ansiklopedilerde sathî şekilde verilen Haylî’nin biyografisi yeniden yazılmaya çalışılacak ve şiir mecmuaları ile biyografik eserlerden derlenen şiirlerinin çevriyazılı metinleri verilecektir.
DİVAN ŞİİRİNDE SAVAŞ VE FEHÎM-İ KADÎM’İN SAVAŞ GAZELLERİ
Authors: BATİSLAM Hanife Dilek
Published: August 2020

Savaş, edebiyatımızın en eski dönemlerinden beri edebi metinlerde çeşitli şekillerde yer verilen önemli konulardan biridir. Edebiyatın dönemlerinin her birinde farklı özellikleri ve nitelikleriyle değişik eserlerde ele alınmıştır. İslâmiyet’in kabulüyle savaş edebiyatı içinde cihat kavramıyla birlikte “fetihnâme” ve “gazavâtnâme” türü eserler öne çıkmaya başlamıştır. Savaş ya da savaşları anlatan müstakil eserler yazılmıştır.
Divan edebiyatında da özellikle, şairlerin kasidelerinde övdükleri devlet adamlarının katıldıkları savaşlardan ve bu savaşlardaki kahramanlıklarından söz ettikleri görülür. Kasidelerde doğrudan bir savaş konu edilebilir ya da savaş tasvirlerine yer verilebilir. Divan şiirinde kimi zaman “cidâl, harp, cenk, perhâş, erdeb, rezm” vb. eşanlamlılarıyla da karşılanan savaş, divan şiirinin söz varlığı içinde önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bazı şiirlerde de savaş ya da benzer, eş anlamlı kelimeler redif olarak kullanılmıştır. Ancak, divan şiirinin dünyası içinde savaş gerçek anlamıyla yer almakla birlikte, daha çok mecazi anlamıyla vardır. Bu mecazi anlatımda savaş, şiirin geleneksel tipleri âşıkla-sevgili ya da âşıkla rakip arasında geçmektedir. Âşık sevgilinin güzellik ülkesine sefer yapar. Sevgilinin güzellik unsurları ve rakip âşığın karşısına engel olarak çıkar.
Divan şiirinde savaş ve savaşla ilgili unsurların kullanımını genel olarak değerlendirdikten sonra; Fehîm-i Kadîm Divanı’nda bulunan savaşla ilgili “ceng” redifli gazelle; redifinde “sulh-ceng”, “düşman-dost” tezadına yer verilen gazeli biçim ve içerik özellikleri bakımından inceleyip değerlendireceğiz.

The livelihood of most of the fishers in Indian Sundarbans is dependent on Penaeus monodon post larvae fishing. These post larvae collectors are socially backward lacking economic security. The activity of collecting Penaeus monodon post larvae for rearing in aquaculture, destroy other aquatic species. Many other juveniles of shellfish and fin fish were destroyed in the process of collection of Penaeus monodon post larvae. The removal of juveniles before they reach maturity disturbs the ecological chain by hampering breeding processes and may cause extinction of some fish species in the long run. The present study is an attempt to estimate the economic value of juveniles destroyed in the collection of (Penaeus monodon) post larvae. In total 32 species were identified in P.monodon the post larval by-catch. The economic loss is assessed based on estimating biomass by taking a length-weight relationship from published literature. Further, the paper illustrates how does a profit enterprise is linked with natural resource exploitation. The paper explores government policy and nature conservation issues for social justice and effective conservation.In conclusion, suggestions are given to reduce the burden of livelihood on natural resources to the extent of exploitation and to strengthen institution and policy-making considering socio-ecological vulnerabilities of the area.

Published: August 2020

(1) Background: A growing number of communities are re-discovering the value of their streets as important public spaces for many aspects of daily life, thus creating the need for a transformation in the quality of streets. An emerging concept is to accommodate all users of the transportation system, a concept that has been labelled ‘complete streets’. (2) Methods: In this paper, we present sustainable complete streets design criteria that integrate complete streets by adding in socio-environmental design criteria related to aesthetics, environment, liveability, and safety. (3) Results: Proposed design criteria provide a street network which provides improvements in aesthetics, to recover historical urban character and realize historical area planning goals; environment, to increase permeable surfaces, reduce the heat island, and absorb traffic-related air pollution; liveability, to create a public space destination in the urban landscape; and safety, to improve the safety of all road users. and (4) Conclusions: The case study of the urban rehabilitation of the “Mostra d’Oltremare” area and of its cultural and architectural assets in Naples, Italy, highlights the practical application of the proposed criteria and the possibility of using these criteria in other urban contexts.

Brucellosis is a multi-system infectious disease that exhibits with various manifestations and complications. Neurobrucellosis is a rare but serious presentation of brucellosis that can be discovered in every stages of the disease. Laboratory tests and physical examination and patient history are generally the basis for diagnosing the disease. It has both insidious and prolonged clinical course of the disease and long-term therapies. Also the most common pattern of exhibition is subacute or chronic. We reported a case of young female who had history of painless weakness in the right lower limb (proximal and distal) that started gradually and had progressed over the time, and after a month she felt weakness in the left lower limb with the same pattern. Lumbosacral Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with and without contrast was shown evidence of enhancement thickening of caudal equina ventral roots. Brucella antigen titer was positive, the result was 1/160. And other clinical tests were normal. Patient treated with Intravenous injection (IV) Rifampicin and Intravenous Cotrimoxazole. patient was discharged with good health and continuinng all two medications for 5 months. The descision was taken to report this case as a result of entire respond in patient’s illness after a enduring disease. Neurobrucellosis is a treatable disease in which it would be better to consider a high indication of suspicion. Due to if ignored, it may cause significant morbidity and mortality.

COVID-19 infection, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is inequitably distributed and more lethal among populations with lower socioeconomic status. Direct contact with contaminated surfaces has been one of the virus sources, as it remains infective up to days. Several disinfectants have been shown to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 but they rapidly evaporate, are flammable or toxic and may be scarce or inexistent for the vulnerable populations. Therefore, we are proposing a simple, easy to prepare, low-cost and efficient antiviral films, made with wide available dishwasher detergent, which can be spread in hands and inanimate surfaces and maintains virucidal activity for longer periods than the current sanitizers. Avian coronavirus (ACoV) was used as model of challenge to test the antivirus efficacy of proposed films. Polystyrene microplates were covered with a thin layer of detergent formula. After drying, the films were exposed to different virus doses for 10 minutes and virus infectivity were determined using embryonated chicken eggs and RNA virus quantification in allantoic fluids by RT-qPCR. The films showed to inactive the ACoV (ranging from 103.66 to 106.66 EID50), which is chemically and morphologically similar to SARSCoV-2 and may constitute an excellent alternative to minimize the spread of Covid-19.
Dynamics and Pattern Formation of a Diffusive Predator-prey Model in the Subdiffusive Regime in Presence of Toxicity
Authors: Bitang A Ziem Daniel Cassidi , Gninzanlong Carlos Lawrence , Tabi Conrad Bertrand , Kofane Timoléon Crépin
Published: August 2020

Motivated by the fact that the restrictive conditions for a Turing instability are relaxed in sub- diffusive regime, we investigate the effects of subdiffu- sion in the predator−prey model with toxins under the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. First, the stability analysis of the corresponding ordinary differ- ential equation is carried out. From this analysis, it fol- lows that stability is closely related to the coefficient of toxicity. In addition, the temporal fractional derivative does not systematically widen the range of parameters to maintain a point in the stability domain. Further- more, we derive the condition which links the Turing instability to the coefficient of toxicity in the subdif- fusive regime. System parameters are varied in order to test our mathematical predictions while comparing them to ecological literature. It turns out that the mem- ory effects, linked to the transport process can, depend- ing on the parameters, either stabilize an ecosystem or make a completely different configuration.
The Effect of HDPE Plastic Fibres on Concrete Performance
Authors: Rahman Tamrin , Nurdiana Juli
Published: August 2020

HDPE (high-density polyethene) plastic waste is stronger, harder, and more resistant to high temperatures than other plastics. Using it as an additive in a concrete mixture is one solution to reduce this type of waste. We examined how HDPE-type plastics can be used as an additive material in the manufacture of concrete to improve its hardness, tensile strength and compressive strength. Using 156 samples, we aimed to identify the effect of HDPE plastic fibres on concrete of three qualities; B0, f'c10 MPa (low quality), and f'c25 MPa (medium and high quality). We added four compositions (2.5%, 5%, 10% and 20% by weight of cement) of HDPE plastic fibre to each quality of cement, with HDPE plastic fibre sizes of 1 x 1 cm, 0.5 x 2 cm or 0.25 x 4 cm. We found that the addition of 5% HDPE plastic fibre with a 0.5 x 2 cm cross-sectional shape to the f'c10 MPa concrete gives the best result, with increased tensile and compressive strength of the concrete.
Factors Affecting Capacity Utilization of Thermal Power (Coal) Plants in India
Authors: Tripathi Alok Kumar
Published: August 2020

As on 31.03.2020, 55.4 % (205135 MW) of total installed capacity (370106 MW) in India is through coal and lignite based power plants. These plants, set up by central, state and private utilities with substantial capital investment are facing consistently reducing Plant Utilization Factor (known as Plant Load Factor, PLF, in India). In the year 2019-20 the national average thermal power PLF stood at 55.4%, down from 78.6 % in 2007-08. On the other hand, the electricity demand is consistently rising in the country and there exists a peak and energy shortage at national level. In 2019-20 energy shortage was 0.7 % and peak shortage was 0.5 %. A disturbing paradox therefore exists here. On one hand, the country is power deficit, and on the other hand, a large amount of coal based affordable power, ready to be generated by thermal power generators, remains grossly unused. Looking into the fact that considerable investment has gone into developing these thermal power generation assets in the country, the falling PLF is a matter of concern for all the key stakeholders including the power producers, lenders, regulators and consumers. This paper identifies seven major factors that are affecting PLF of thermal power plants and then makes an attempt to project future scenario of PLF so that critical stakeholders can intervene through appropriate actions. Primary research with responses from power professionals has been used to find out the major factors. Future projection of PLF has been done using Partial Least Square (PLS) regression. Projection shows that in the Business As Usual case (Factors increasing at the current CAGR rate), the thermal power plants will face very low level of PLF (14.76 %) by 2024-25. This will mean that many plants will be shut down and many will run for only few hours in a day that too at very low loads. If the future generation mix is kept as indicated by Central Electricity Authority (CEA), a Govt. of India in its report (Draft report on optimal generation capacity mix for 2029-30- CEA- Govt of India) then the thermal power plant average PLF can sustain above 68 % until 2024-25. If followed, this path can be a breather for the thermal power plants.
Os sentidos da formação humana: perspectivas para uma educação emancipadora e humanizadora

Published: August 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo promover uma reflexão acerca dos sentidos da Educação. Assumimos como fato que estamos imersos em uma crise nessa área, a qual tem por base a implantação de modelos de Educação que têm se distanciado de uma formação humanizada e emancipadora. Ao pensarmos em uma Educação revestida de sentido humanista é aos gregos que nos reportamos, pois, foram eles que adotaram um modelo de formação integral capaz de promover o “homem vivo” na sua possibilidade constante de um “vir-a-ser”. O presente estudo teórico de caráter bibliográfico trata de pensar uma formação em que os seres humanos possam compreender-se como cidadãos do mundo, e que, ao desenvolver sua capacidade imaginativa, sejam capazes de tornar-se sensíveis e comprometidos com os seres humanos de outros lugares e de outras culturas, para que se possa vislumbrar possibilidades de vivermos em um mundo democrático, com respeito às diferenças e às complexidades.

Sleep and Obesity: Mechanisms of Association
Authors: Dadaeva V. A. , Aleksandrov A. A. , Orlova A. S. , Drapkina O. M.
Published: August 2020

Epidemiologic studies demonstrate that both prolonged and reduced sleep duration is associated with increased risk of excessive weight and obesity. The aim of the review was to analyze probable mechanisms of association of sleep duration and obesity elucidated in current scientific literature. Several proposed mechanisms of such an association exist: an imbalance of appetite regulating hormones resulting from decreased sleep duration; fatigue or decreased activity during the daytime, leading to sedentary behavior with decreased energy expenditure; changes in eating behavior with increased daily calorie intake. The article gives a comprehensive review of factors, mediating the association of sleep duration and obesity (age, gender, ethnic origin), studies of neurohormonal regulation of sleep in association with obesity (the influence of sleep duration on thermoregulation, appetite center – increased grelin-to-leptin ratio); the relationship of sleep with growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1, with hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and non-hormonal factors, stimulating food intake. Data indicating that increased sleep duration is often associated with decreased sleep quality are presented. Besides traditional risk factors – unhealthy diet and decreased physical exercise, specific attention should be given to the problems, associated with sleep disorders to increase the efficacy of treatment and prevention of obesity.

Hasil ini menunjukkan antecedent dan transaction yang sebagian besar sudah sesuai standar masih belum memberikan outcomes yang baik. Persiapan dan pelaksanaan yang sudah baik ternyata belum memberikan dampak positif yang optimal terhadap siswa atau pemirsa. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa isi program sudah sesuai dengan kurikulum. Namun, karena kurangnya sosialisasi, jadwal yang sulit diakses dan tidak sesuai dengan waktu belajar siswa, maka program ini masih belum mengakomodir kebutuhan siswa sehingga belum memberikan hasil yang optimal, meskipun minat siswa tergolong tinggi. Sebaiknya program ini diteruskan dengan beberapa perbaikan, antara lain dengan: melakukan tayang ulang, meningkatkan distribusi jadwal siaran melalui tayangan di stasiun televisi nasional, facebook, web, atau brosur. Selain itu dengan melatih atau mengganti narasumber yang masih kurang mampu dalam hal materi. Selanjutnya mengubah penampilan dan bahasa yang digunakan agar tidak terlalu formal.
KOMPARASI ESTIMASI RERATA SKOR RESPONDEN ANTARA ITEM SAMPLING, EXAMINEE SAMPLING, DAN MULTIPLE MATRIX SAMPLING
Authors: Hermansyah Ahmad
Published: August 2020

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui mana yang lebih akurat dalam mengestimasi rerata skor responden antara item sampling, examinee sampling, dan multiple matrix sampling. Populasi penelitian ini adalah respon jawaban siswa pada Ujian Nasional 2013 provinsi DKI Jakarta untuk mata pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia. Pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini menggunakan tiga rancangan, yaitu: item sampling, examinee sampling, dan multiple matrix sampling. Untuk mendapatkan rerata untuk masing-masing rancangan dilakukan replikasi sebanyak 30 kali, kemudian dilakukan uji statistik. Walaupun ketiga kelompok tersebut berdistribusi normal tetapi tidak bersifat homogen sehingga pengujian hipotesis dilakukan dengan uji Kruskal Wallis. Hasil uji hipotesis dinyatakan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan dari ketiga rancangan tersebut. Kemudian pengujian dilanjutkan dengan uji Mann Whitney. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa examinee sampling lebih akurat dari pada item sampling, multiple matrix sampling lebih akurat dari pada item sampling, dan multiple matrix sampling lebih akurat dari pada examinee sampling.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan instrumen pengukur tingkat kepuasan siswa terhadap kualitas pelayanan pendidikan di Sekolah Menengah Atas. Kepuasan siswa adalah tingkat perasaan siswa setelah membandingkan kinerja atau hasil yang dirasakan dibandingkan dengan harapan siswa. Tingkat kepuasan siswa terdiri dari lima dimensi, yakni: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, dan emphaty. Sampel penelitian ini diambil dengan menggunakan metode sampling acak sederhana. Pengembangan pernyataan-pernyataan instrumen didasarkan pada penilaian pakar menggunakan skala Likert. Melalui telaah pakar dan validasi panelis berdasarkan nilai koefisien reliabilitas interrater terpilih 38 butir. Instrumen diujicobakan pada 200 siswa SMA di Kabupaten Tangerang. Satu perangkat instrumen ini dikembangkan dengan dua kelompok alternatif jawaban, yakni: kinerja dan harapan siswa. Secara empiris melalui ujicoba pertama dan ujicoba kedua melalui pengujian analisis faktor konfirmatori dengan metode Maximum Likelihood (ML) didapatkan nilai loading factor di atas 0,5. Dari perhitungan nilai koefisien reliabilitas multidimensi menunjukkan bahwa nilai koefisien reliabilitas konstruk lebih besar dari 0,9 dan nilai Average Variance Extracted (AVE) lebih besar dari 0,5 pada ujicoba pertama dan kedua, yang berarti tingkat validitas dan reliabilitas instrumen pengukur tingkat kepuasan siswa terhadap kualitas pelayanan pendidikan tergolong sangat tinggi. Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa instrumen pengukur tingkat kepuasan siswa terhadap kualitas pelayanan pendidikan di sekolah ini telah memiliki validitas dan reliabilitas konstruk yang baik.

Authors: Haje Davi de Podestá , Silva Cássio Clei da
Published: August 2020

Case:

A 35-year-old female patient presented with an exposed forefoot fracture with bone and dermal loss after a vehicular accident. There was a bone defect at the level of the second toe and the third metatarsal. She was treated by second toe resection and second metatarsal transfer to augment the third metatarsal diaphysis ray (nonvascularized, without any soft-tissue envelope) and a microsurgical forearm flap.

Conclusion:

As one option among the reconstruction techniques available for a metatarsal segmental defect, metatarsal transfer associated with a fasciocutaneous radial forearm flap proved to be effective in this patient.
Early Failure of a Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Polyetheretherketone Distal Femur Plate
Authors: Goudriaan W. Alexander , Tordoir Rutger L. , Broekhuis Demien , van der Wal Robert J.P.
Published: August 2020

Case:

In this case, we report on a carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone plate failure 4 months after implantation, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and protective weight-bearing in a 75-year-old woman who sustained a nontraumatic pathological distal femur fracture due to lymphoma.

Conclusion:

Although carbon-fiber composite implants are regularly used and, to date, there have been no reports of early clinical failures, the longevity of the implant's structural integrity after high-dose radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment has not been fully explored. Therefore, we deem it too early to conclude that carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone implants are superior to conventional implants in treating (pathological) fractures.
The role of tobacco and alcohol use in the interaction of social determinants of non-communicable diseases in Nepal: a systems perspective

Background: Tobacco and alcohol use are major behavioural risks in developing countries like Nepal, which are contributing to a rapid increase in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This causal relationship is further complicated by the multi-level social determinants such as socio-political context, socio-economic factors and health systems. The systems approach has potential to facilitate understanding of such complex causal mechanisms. The objective of this paper is to describe the role of tobacco and alcohol use in the interaction of social determinants of NCDs in Nepal. Method: The study adopted a qualitative study design guided by the Systemic Intervention methodology. The study involved key informant interviews (n=63) and focus group discussions (n=12) at different levels (national, district and/or community) and was informed by the adapted Social Determinants of Health Framework. The data analysis involved case study-based thematic analysis using framework approach and development of causal loop diagrams. The study also involved three sense-making sessions with key stakeholders. Results: Three key themes and causal loop diagrams emerged from the data analysis. Widespread availability of tobacco and alcohol products contributed to the use and addiction of tobacco and alcohol. Low focus on primary prevention by health systems and political influence of tobacco and alcohol industries were the major contributors to the problem. Gender and socio-economic status of families/communities were identified as key social determinants of tobacco and alcohol use. Conclusion: Tobacco and alcohol use facilitated interaction of the social determinants of NCDs in the context of Nepal. Socio-economic status of families was both driver and outcome of tobacco and alcohol use. Health system actions to prevent NCDs were delayed mainly due to lack of system insights and commercial influence. A multi-sectoral response led by the health system is urgently needed.
