Authors: Norlinta Siti nadhir Ollin
Published: January 2024

Keluhan padaÂ  Musculoskeletal beragam bentuknya salah satunya adalah flatfoot dan scoliosis. Kondisi ini banyak ditemukan semua kalangan usia. Hal lain yang dapat menunjang derajat keparahan adalah penggunaan beban yang berlebih pada punggung seperti penggunaan shoulder bagÂ  yang ukuran dan beratnya tidak sesuai sehingga menyebabkan nyeri punggung, perubahan postur tubuh, dan gaya berjalan, dan jika dilakukan terus menerus dapat mengakibatkan perubahan yang irreversible karena ligament dan tulang belakang terus mengalami proses degeneratif sejalan dengan usia. Analisa masalah pada anak sekolah SMA 1 Sanden Bantul pemeriksaan untuk mengantisipisi masalah Musculoskeletal yang akan timbul. Pada kebanyakan kasus, pada mulanya penderita tidak merasakan adanya gangguan, kemudian pada kondisi yang lebih parah baru dirasakan adanya ketidak seimbangan posisi thorax, scapula yang menonjol pada satu sisi, posisi bahu yang tidak horizontal, panggul yang tidak simetris, dan kadang-kadang penderita merasakan pegal-pegal pada daerah punggung. Tindakan lanjut dilakukan pemeriksaan untuk mempertajam diagnosa yaitu menggunkan alat ukur wet footprint test Â pada flat foot dan Cobb Angle pada scoliosis. Hasil dari hasil pengabdian Skrinning yang sudah dilakukan mendapatkan hasil yang menunjukkan bahwa adanya keluhan terbanyak pada Forward Head Postur (FWP) dan paling sedikit pada keluhan flatfoot dan scoliosis. Keluhan ini sudah diatasi dengan pemberian edukasi dan exercise ringan pada saat pengukuran secara bertahap sesuai dengan dosis fisioterapi yang dilakukan.

Reflexión filosófica sobre la actualidad de los PRIMEROS ESCRITOS de Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770 – 1831), en el período de Fráncfort (1797-1800), calificado como el período más importante de su vida
Authors: Acosta Jaime
Published: January 2024

The debate herein exposed is aimed towards a confrontation between the autonomy of human will and its heteronomy, or between liberty and law. This crucial problem is also the most discussed within contemporary moral reflection. Is it possible to behave freely and morally by obeying law and to remain in full exercise of liberty? For his reflection, Hegel strongly criticizes Jewish religion and further concentrates on the passage of the New Testament that takes place at the home of Simon the Pharisee, analyzing the behavior of four characters: Mary Magdalene: love and need; Simon: the power to judge; the disciples: moral interest and Jesus: the voice of beauty and love. Hegel’s approach is summed up in seeking what man must do (morality) as a condition to access religion considered to be man’s happiness. How to open, therefore, the path of morality towards a religion that restores life and beauty, a religion as a living union between God and man? In conclusion, some arguments will be presented to demonstrate the insufficiency of Hegel’s criticism to religion in the Old Testament. Obedience appears as a human response to God’s nomination rather than as a response to law.
La Piratería en el Pacífico y su relación con el Tribunal de la Santa Inquisición de Lima
Authors: Donoso Bustamante Sebastián I.
Published: January 2024

Abstract: The historical validity of the Tribunal of the Holy Office has been strongly linked to the distortions of the so-called Black Legend, which was the propagandistic element more used by the rival powers of Spain in order to discredit it not only in the political but also religious sphere. The effects of the aforementioned propaganda can be experienced until today, with special strength on popular culture, where historical and documentary veracity gives way to the much more attractive accounts of fanaticism, obscurantism and oppression without measure. What was the true role played by the Holy Office within Spanish domains in America? How did defending the Catholic Faith become related to the political ambitions of the Crypto-Jews and Protestants? What was the role played by the relationship between piracy and religious zeal in such political framework? This article intends to address these three issues and offer a much more rigorous view of one of the most remembered cultural phenomena related to the colonial period.

Quito en el entramado imperial de la Monarquía Hispánica durante el siglo XVI
Authors: Crespo Daniel
Published: January 2024

Desde su fundación española en 1534, Quito va a tener un papel destacado dentro del entramado imperial de la Monarquía Hispánica. El objetivo de la presente ponencia es demostrar cómo a lo largo del siglo XVI la posición de la ciudad y del espacio quitense va a ser de importancia fundamental en la estructuración política y simbólica del imperio español en América. A partir de este punto, a continuación se busca reflexionar sobre las distinciones fundamentales entre la realidad política y jurídica de los Reinos de Indias y el errado concepto meramente extractivista detrás de la calificación de colonias y sus implicaciones historiográficas.
El intelecto agente y las habilidades cognoscitivas humanas en el paleolítico inferior
Authors: Byrne Beatriz
Published: January 2024

En la evolución humana encontramos dos procesos: el proceso de hominización y el proceso de humanización (Jordana 1988, pág. 97) (Polo, 2016, pág. 9). El primero se refiere a los cambios morfológicos que culminan en el H sapiens y el segundo se refiere a los logros culturales conseguidos. Hasta fines del siglo pasado se pensaba que los logros culturales de tipos de homínidos como los Australopitecos, los H. habilis y H. erectus obedecían al conocimiento sensorial, en concreto a la operación cognoscitiva de la imaginación la cual no requiere de la abstracción para pensar de modo sensorial. Solo se reconocía el pensamiento intelectual en el H. sapiens incluyendo el H. sapiens arcaico por el pensamiento simbólico que reflejan obras y comportamientos tales como el arte rupestre y el enterramiento de muertos asociados con ellos. El conocimiento sensorial se refiere a la asociación imaginativa y al uso del razonamiento condicional más rudimentario: si A entonces B (Polo, 2016, pág. 17). Sin embargo los descubrimientos en arqueología experimental de las dos últimas décadas reclaman el conocimiento abstracto para la fabricación de herramientas más antiguas de hace 3.3 millones de años (Byrne, 2018, en imprenta) (Harman et al, 2015, pág. 310). ¿Qué validez filosófica tienen esos avances arqueológicos? ¿Cómo se integran dichos avances en la antropología transcendental de Polo? El presente artículo es una breve respuesta a estas preguntas.
El vínculo entre la naturaleza y la cultura: Guardini y Polo
Authors: Bastidas Ana
Published: January 2024

A partir del siglo XX se inicia una época de proliferación de diferentes planteamientos antropológicos que ponen el énfasis en un aspecto del hombre. Esto ha permitido ampliar inmensamente lo que se conoce sobre él, pero también ha contribuido a perder de vista la unidad de todos esos hallazgos. Romano Guardini, utiliza como método de conocimiento, la ‘teoría del contraste’, un contraste (Gegensatz) es una “relación especial, en la que dos elementos se excluyen el uno al otro y permanecen, sin embargo, vinculados e incluso, se presuponen mutuamente” (Guardini, 1996, pág. 79). La vida corporal, anímica, espiritual del hombre se da entre opuestos polares o contrastes. Leonardo Polo, un autor español contemporáneo propone entender a la persona humana bajo el criterio de las dualidades jerárquicas, la hipótesis es que estos dos métodos en muy similares. En este trabajo, estudia la relación naturaleza-cultura, vista desde los dos autores, con el objetivo de mostrar que, al utilizar un método de conocimiento similar, las conclusiones a las que llegan son también similares, ambos autores están de acuerdos que no se puede entender la cultura sin la naturaleza ni tampoco la naturaleza sin la cultura en la persona humana.
El término griego ἀδελφός - adelphos entendido como referente mariológico desde el cristianismo primitivo hasta nuestros días
Authors: Baquero de la Calle Rivadeneira Jaime
Published: January 2024

Los primeros cristianos se denominaban entre ellos hermanos, utilizando el término griego ἀδελφός (adelphos), que significa: “del mismo seno”. Según la teología desarrollada por los Padres de la Iglesia, en sucesión directa con San Juan, apóstol y evangelista, Cristo fue engendrado en la carne por María, y el resto de sus seguidores son regenerados en la carne y el espíritu por Cristo, a través de la maternidad espiritual de María. Estos hechos se justifican en las palabras de Cristo en la cruz, antes de morir: “he aquí a tu hijo / he aquí a tu madre”; y se refrendan en la interpretación mística de la mujer del Apocalipsis, que sufre dolores de parto.

Published: January 2024

Frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) have experienced increased levels of stress and burnout during and after the pandemic, resulting in healthcare worker shortages and diminished quality of care for patients. Originally piloted in combat environments, Stress First Aid (SFA) is an evidence-informed intervention that has shown promising results in helping mitigate stress reactions in other high-stress work environments. This article details the adaptation of an SFA intervention using a train-the-trainer model for use in hospitals and healthcare clinics for HCWs during the pandemic. The origins of the principles of SFA, how they were adapted for use with HCWs, and how barriers such as lack of time were addressed by further modifications during the intervention are discussed. These findings may help inform future SFA interventions in healthcare settings during public health crises.

Young people with childhood adversity (CA) were at increased risk to experience mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pre-pandemic research identified high-quality friendship support as a protective factor that can buffer against the emergence of mental health problems in young people with CA. This longitudinal study investigated friendship buffering effects on mental health symptoms before and at three timepoints during the pandemic in 102 young people (aged 16-26) with low to moderate CA. Multilevel analyses revealed a continuous increase in depression symptoms following the outbreak. Friendship quality was perceived as elevated during lockdowns and returned to pre-pandemic baseline levels during reopening. A stress-sensitizing effect of CA on social functioning was evident, as social thinning occurred following the outbreak. Bivariate latent change score modeling revealed that before and during the pandemic, young people with greater friendship quality self-reported lower depression symptoms and vice versa. Furthermore, sequential mediation analysis showed that high-quality friendships before the pandemic buffered depression symptoms during the pandemic through reducing perceived stress. These findings highlight the importance of fostering stable and supportive friendships in young people with CA and suggest that through reducing stress perceptions high-quality friendships can mitigate mental health problems during times of multidimensional stress.
The problem of viewpoint II: Constraints on the structure of the pictorial percept
Authors: Maniatis Lydia Maria
Published: January 2024

The veridicality of percepts in the context of real-world viewing makes it easy to overlook the profound gap between the visual stimulation and the resulting visual experience. The non-veridical nature of pictorial percepts forces us to address this gap more directly. Here, I try to show that the structure of the pictorial percept reflects pressure to symmetrize not only the shape of the object, but also a. the relationship of the object to the environment and b. the relationship of the viewer to the the environment, via perceptually-imposed coordinate systems. These systems ultimately (evolutionarily) derive from real-world environmental and anatomical constraints, but are not directly tied to them. Rather, they are embedded in the physiological process instigated by the visual stimulation. I analyze the structure of the relevant coordinate systems and demonstrate their mutual interactions and effects with some cases in point, to be supplemented by a more thorough set of examples in a subsequent publication in this series.
Bridging Legal Methodology and Ethical Considerations: A Novel Approach Applied to Challenges of Data Harvesting
Authors: Maor Oliver
Published: January 2024

This conceptual paper explores the practical application of legal decision-making strategies in guiding ethical considerations in data harvesting research projects. It is shown that the logic used in legal methodology, namely the identification of case groups based on real cases brought to court, can be used to provide balanced and nuanced responses to ethical problems. This is exemplified via the Nissenbaum paradox, where it is fair to assume that data deserve privacy protection even though they are openly accessible, the Sweeney problem, which relates to the natural limits of anonymization, and the problems and risks of clustering anonymized data and thus defining groups that are unknown a priori. The scope of this research is limited by its focus on European legal frameworks, suggesting further exploration in different global contexts. The research reveals a nuanced balance between individual and public interests, including the interest in the advancement of research. The actionability of the amalgamated methodology for ethics policymakers, ethics committees, and researchers is practically demonstrated in the form of ethics checklists provided within this study.

Factors Influencing the Purchase of Two-Wheelers in Butwal Sub-Metropolitan City: A Consumer Perspective
Authors: Thapa Mary
Published: January 2024

The current research examined the determinants that impact the purchasing decisions of two-wheeler consumers in the Butwal region. The primary goal was to identify the critical independent variables that significantly influence the dependent variable of buying intentions, such as product knowledge, perceived quality, perceived value, and perceived risk. Using multiple regression and correlation analysis, the study found that purchasing intentions are significantly influenced by perceived value and quality. This established a substantial and significant correlation. Conversely, no statistically significant correlation was found between variables including product knowledge and diminished perceived risk and the purchasing decisions of consumers. To gain a competitive advantage in the market, companies operating in the Butwal two-wheeler sector should place a high priority on improving the perceptions of quality and value held by potential customers.
Determinants of Career Choices among Management Students under Tribhuvan University in Nepal
Authors: Thapa Bhim Kumar
Published: January 2024

This research investigates the challenges of career decision making among management students at Tribhuvan University in Nepal, utilizing a quantitative approach through a questionnaire survey. The study aims to comprehensively assess the impact of key variables: Interest in the Subject, Ease of Subject, Financial Outcomes, Future Job Opportunities and Interpersonal Influences on students' career choices. Employing a multiple linear regression model, the analysis indicates a reliable relationship between these independent variables and the dependent variable Career Choice with a substantial coefficient of determination (R Square = 0.782) and adjusted R Square (0.773). Particularly remarkable are the significant roles of Financial Outcomes and Future Job Opportunities as predictors (p < 0.001), indicating their considerable influence on career decisions. Interest in the Subject, Ease of Subject, and Interpersonal Influences display non-significant coefficients, suggesting limited impact within this student group. These findings hold significant implications for educational institutions and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of incorporating practical exposure and information related to financial aspects and job prospects in curriculum design and career counseling services.

Published: January 2024

Mobile banking plays a vital role in daily transactions and overall performance of any financial institutions. The objective of this study is to assess the utilization and effectiveness of mobile banking services provided by financial cooperative. Descriptive research design was applied by adopting a survey method to collect data. Out of 11 financial cooperatives providing mobile banking, two co-operatives Hatemalo and Upayogi Sahasrabdi Saccos were selected under a random sampling method. Out of 1371 members using mobile banking, 310 were selected for the study as respondents through a purposive sampling method. Questionnaire has been administered with five points Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5). The results show that utilization of mobile service was less than average and effectiveness of mobile banking was moderately high (4). Satisfaction level between genders was the same (4) but older age group and low education level had lower satisfaction level. It is concluded that cooperatives should organize broad member education and mobile banking training campaign to increase mobile banking service utilization. It is also suggested to the curriculum development of Nepal to introduce mobile banking subjects at secondary school levels.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND Palpitation is one of the most common indications for Holter study. 24- hour Holter monitoring helps to detect abnormal cardiac rhythm which can be managed earlier if picked up sooner. Spot ECG has less sensitivity to pick episodic abnormal rhythm so longer monitoring time is essential. Various treatment modalities can thus be planned for non-benign and relatively benign arrhythmias like VT and PSVT respectively.

METHODS This was a single center prospective observational cross-sectional study conducted at BPKIHS, Dharan for three months between July 2023 to September 2023. The primary objective was to study abnormal cardiac electrical events in patients having palpation. There were 38 patients of palpitations that underwent 24-hour Holter study after fulfilling inclusion criteria. The data was recorded on an excel sheet and was analyzed using software SPSS 20.

RESULTS There were 47.4% (18) males and 52.6% (20) females. The mean age was 49.61± 17.63 years. There were 36.8% (14) patients in age group <45 years while 42.1% (16) were in age group 45 to 65 years and 21.1% (8) were in the age group >65 years. The maximum and minimum Heart rate were 180 and 35 beats per minute respectively. There was abnormal Holter ECG in 57.9% (22) and 42.1% (16) had normal ECG. Most common arrhythmia was VPC 17(77.2%) in our study. The association between the age group and Normal vs Abnormal Holter ECG was statistically significant (P Value=0.023) (Table 8). DM was the most common co-morbid illness in 5(13.2%), one participant had DM and HTN along with Dyslipidemia and other findings were smoking (5.3%), dyslipidemia (5.3%). There was no association between comorbid conditions and normal vs abnormal ECG Holter rhythm (P Value = 0.448).

CONCLUSION Out of 38 participants VPC was the most common (77.2%) arrhythmia. The association between Age group and Normal vs Abnormal Holter was statistically significant (P Value=0.023).

Published: January 2024

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had huge impact on social, psychological, and economic well-being of general community people in Nepal.
Objectives: To assess the extent of psychological distress, fear, and level of coping strategies among community members in Nepal.
Methods: A nationwide analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among Nepali residents aged >=18 years using an online structured questionnaire during 2020 December to 2021 January. Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), Fear of COVID-19 scale (FCV-19S) and Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) were used in this study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to adjust for potential confounders. Ethical clearance was obtained from institutional review committee of Kathmandu Medical College.
Results: Among 311 respondents, 167 (53.7%) were female. Median age (IQR) 31.3 (13) years with age range 18-69 years. Mean age was 31.4 ± 10.3 years. Being above 30 years old (AOR 3.8, 95% CI 2.13-6.84) were associated with higher levels of psychological distress. Being a female (AOR 0.55, CI 95% 0.30-0.99), moderately improved working situation due to change of employment (AOR 0.39, CI 95% 0.20-0.76), having little perceived distress due to change of employment status (AOR 0.52, 95% CI 0.27-0.97), having positive impact of COVID-19 on financial situation (AOR 0.28, 95% CI 0.13-0.61) were associated with lower levels of fear based on the FCV-19S scale.
Conclusions: This study identified individuals who were at higher risk of psychological distress, level of fear, and low coping strategies during COVID-19 pandemic in Nepal. These findings would assist in exploring the strategies to support mental health of vulnerable population during pandemic and post-pandemic periods.

Background: Prevention of post-operative anastomotic leak (AL) is significant challenge for surgeons, with roughly half of all AL cases linked to insufficient vascular supply, often undetectable during anastomosis. Recently, indocyanine green fluorescence (ICG) emerged as promising tool in visceral surgery due to its low cost, ease of use, wide availability, and low toxicity. In gastrointestinal surgery, ICG is primarily used for real-time intraoperative angiography, allowing surgeons to assess anastomotic stumps' perfusion before and after procedure.
Objectives: To assess efficacy of ICG as an adjunct in preventing AL.
Methods: This descriptive study conducted after ethical approval at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital from 2022 February 15 to 2023 January 30 included 111 patients enrolled via convenience sampling. During operation, surgeon used ICG fluorescence angiography on patients to determine perfusion status, which allowed for evaluation of transection line and post-anastomotic viability. Data were entered in Microsoft Excel sheet 2019 and descriptive analysis done regarding demographic data, changes in the transection line, and post-operative anastomotic leaks.
Results: Total 111 patients with age 55.41 ± 13.63 years and male-female ratio of 2:1 participated in this study. ICG use resulted in changes to proximal resection margin for five (4.5%) patients. Clinical judgment and ICG fluorescence imaging showed a difference in bowel transection line of 0.5-1.5 cm. None of the patients who underwent proximal resection margin revision with the assistance of ICG experienced post-operative anastomotic leaks.
Conclusion: ICG fluorescence can be used as an adjunct in determining the viability of anastomosis and prevent post-operative anastomosis leak.

Published: January 2024

Variable rainfall and recurrent drought in spring season limit the potato production at Dailekh. To address this problem, a two-year (2019-2020) field experiment was conducted at HRS, Dailekh to investigate 12 potato genotypes (T-304347.6, T-393371.58, T-304350.1, T-304351.109, T-302498.7, T-304405.47, T-303381.3, T-396311.1, T-397029.1, T-304368.46, Desiree and Cardinal) along with different growing practices (Partial Irrigation (PI), rain-fed and straw mulch) for their growth, and yield traits. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design, where three different growing practices were allotted as main plot and 12 potato genotypes were placed as sub-plot treatment, and it was replicated three times. The combined analysis revealed that growing practices significantly affected the ground cover, plant height, stem number, marketable tuber number and weight, and yield. Potato genotypes showed the significant effect on all the plant and yield traits. Straw mulch produced 28.7% and 21.6% higher marketable tuber yield than PI and rain-fed potato, respectively. Genotypes T-304351.109 and T-397029.1 imparted 22.9% and 17.4% higher marketable tuber yield than Desiree, check variety, respectively. Therefore, growing of high yielding genotypes T-304351.109 and T-397029.1 along with straw mulch can be the best option to increase the potato productivity at rain-fed condition of Dailekh.

Bacteria experience changes in physiology and growth patterns in aerobic laboratory culture and the anaerobic gastrointestinal tract of the host. Our study hypothesizes that this physiological difference influences the antibiotic susceptibility/resistance pattern of Salmonella in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The susceptibility and resistance percentage was determined using the diameter of the zone of inhibition for ten major classes of antibiotic drugs with a total of sixteen molecules. Data were analyzed in GraphPad Prism vs 8 using a two-way ANOVA analysis for the six antibiotics selected based on the greatest differences in the zone of inhibition. The highest observed resistance levels were against nalidixic acid (63.8%/48.6%) and tetracycline (65.2%/58.6%), followed by trimethoprim/ sulphamethoxazole (52.2%/50%), cephalexin (50.7%/52.9%), ciprofloxacin (45.7%/45.7%), amoxicillin (43.5%/47.1%), ampicillin (37.7%/45.7%) and chloramphenicol (36.2%/37.1%) in aerobic/anaerobic condition. The variation contributed by the type of antibiotic on the degree of resistance was 72.73% (P=0.0303) and the variation contributed by the incubation condition was 16.09% (P=0.0437), both of which are statistically significant. The findings of our study demonstrate that the susceptibility/resistance of non-typhoidal Salmonella varies in aerobic and anaerobic incubation. Hence, pharmacodynamics models aiming to evaluate the impact of antimicrobial use in enteric bacteria such as Salmonella of the treated host should utilize measurements of bacterial susceptibility that are obtained anaerobically (as well as aerobically) to achieve effective antimicrobial treatment and control non-typhoidal salmonella infections.

Goats are recognized as a vital and versatile livestock commodity with significant importance in rural farmers’ communities of developing countries, including Nepal. Growth, reproductive and litter performances are considered as the major economic traits of goats. This study was designed to compare the growth, reproduction and litter traits of goat kids and does at mid hill region for different non-genetic factors such as genetic groups (Khari, Boer 75% and 50%), parity (early, mid and late), season of conception and kidding (summer, autumn, winter, spring), sex (male and female) and type of birth (single, twins and triplet) under optimum management regime. Data for the four-year study period (2017 to 2021) on production performance were entered into MS-Excel sheet from the data record book of the National Goat Research Program, Bandipur and analyzed by using Mixed Model Least-square and Maximum Likelihood Computer Program PC-2 statistical package. The means were compared using Duncans' Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Results revealed that the effect of genetic group, parity, type of birth and sex were significant (p<0.05) with respect to growth at different stages along with genetic group and parity that were significant with major non-genetic factors affecting reproduction and litter traits. Better reproduction parameters were recorded for the Khari goat breed than Boer crossbred.  Similarly, litter traits at both birth and weaning were found better in later parities with better performance in Khari. Males were born heavier and consistent throughout the study period up to eighteen months. Hence, based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that Khari goat breed has high potential for its reproduction and litter traits with a massive scope of improvement through selection within the population. Likewise, it is also important to consider the growth of inferior Khari goats can also be genetically improved through upgrading up to 75% blood level using an appropriate breed, such as Boer.
Enhancing local governance in Nepal through federalism: A study of key elements
Authors: Adhikari Hari Prasad
Published: January 2024

Federalism and local governance are mutually inclusive and complementary at times but they are different concepts. It involves multiple aspects such as national, political, legislative, institutional, and fiscal dimensions. Federal processes have the potential to influence and shape local governance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the elements of federalism that can improve local governance in Nepal. A descriptive and analytical research design was employed to collect data from 384 respondents via a questionnaire for analysis. While the elements of federalism for enhancing local governance were found to be satisfactory, the study highlights the inadequacies in its implementation. The findings provide valuable insights into Nepal's federalism policy and offer guidelines to policymakers for improving local governance. Additionally, the study emphasizes the need for appropriate policies, robust communication, and information systems to support the federalism process from the federal government.
