Published: June 2024

Completion on time, within the allocated budget, according to the specifications, and with stakeholder satisfaction is a key to a successful project. Stakeholders, including the contractor, consultant, and employer, in almost all construction projects including highways, fail to give the risk assessment due consideration in Nepal. The purpose of this study was to determine the risks related to the key road network construction in Karnali province. Using purposive sampling, a questionnaire survey was administered to the stakeholders. The opinions of the participants were evaluated under five distinct categories: public sector management risk, engineering risk, construction risk, resource procurement risk, and social risk. Based on its RII value, each heading was rated after undergoing a distinct study. Authorization to use the forest land and remove or cut down trees (RII value: 0.90) was the highest risk that was obtained. This was followed by approval to move the electric pole from within the right-of-way (RII value: 0.88), "Lack of coordination between different related organizational parties (water supply, irrigation, building department, etc.)" (RII value: 0.87), "Unavailability of material" (RII value: 0.86), and, finally, "Land acquisition and bad quality of workmanship with RII value 0.85."
Intersection Control Evaluation for Highway Safety Analysis
Authors: Mishra Anuj , Pandeya Ayush
Published: June 2024

Road traffic accidents take more lives than a combination of other accidents and natural disasters. An article published on September 9, 2023, in the Nepali Times, reported that between April 2022 and April 2023, a total of 2,320 individuals lost their lives, with 28,856 sustaining injuries, many resulting in lifelong impairment. Traffic studies have revealed that Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) facilitates strategic decision-making through the use of factual information, data, and metrics. The primary objective of this research on intersection control evaluation is to explore how the screening process and the selection of alternative intersections in ICE contribute to the reduction of accidents at intersections. A focused examination of the literature assessing the methodology's effectiveness in maintaining intersection safety suggests that intersection control evaluation aids in strategy selection during expansion and signal usage at major intersections. Subsequent discussions utilized various spreadsheet tools and online forums. The findings indicate that ICE serves as an effective framework for screening intersection alternatives and identifying optimal solutions. Results show that tools such as 'Capacity Analysis for Planning of Junctions' (CAP-X) effectively evaluate intersection types. Additionally, 'Safety Performance of Intersection Control Evaluations' (SPICE) is employed for safety analysis at grade intersections. Cost analysis, based on results obtained from the Life Cycle Cost Estimation Tool (LCCET) spreadsheet, demonstrated the cost-effectiveness of this approach.In light of the results and discussions, intersection control evaluation should play a crucial role in implementing safer, more balanced, and cost-effective solutions at road intersections.

Authors: Kumar Thapa Santosh , Pradhananga Rojee , Shrestha Saurav
Published: June 2024

The diminishing preference for the public transportation system in the Kathmandu Valley has been a longstanding issue, attributed to factors such as uncontrolled urbanization, increased motorization, inadequate transit infrastructure, and diminished reliability. The issue of less reliability of public transport in Kathmandu has drawn significant interest of public authorities, policy makers, planners and researchers. The lack of reliability in the public transportation system may compel commuters to choose personal vehicles, primarily motorcycles and cars. The increase in these smaller vehicles, sharing routes with larger ones, not only leads to an increase in congestion but also diminishes overall reliability. Hence, it becomes imperative to maintain the public transport system at an optimal level of reliability. Thus, this research focuses on the performance of public transport, particularly buses, employing measures of travel time reliability. Planning time and planning time index are used as a measure of the travel time reliability. This study includes a comparative analysis of the travel time reliability among different bus service providers operating on the case study route. On board technique was adopted to collect the data. Among the different public service providers operating in the area, four bus service providers Mahanagar Yatayat, Mahasagar Yatayat, Mayur Yatayat and Khwopa Yatayat were selected for this study. The comparison of travel time reliability among various bus service providers was conducted using an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test and post-hoc test.

Microenterprise is defined as a small business engaged in the production of goods or services. Typically, microenterprises are characterized by their limited access to capital, minimal number of employees, and frequently operate from home. Micro-Enterprise is a small-scale economic unit involved in producing and distributing goods and services at the household level. This paper of micro-enterprises in Nepal is about how we helped them to grow because of their need and how they contributed to the well being of the Nepalese society at large. Secondary data were used for the study. These businesses require little capital start-up with facilities fixed in the market lodging or mobile commercial places. The analysis is based on the effect on the supported micro- enterprises under the Micro Entrepreneurs Development Program (MEDEP). The family component along with the use of local resources, small scale, labor-intensive and low capital input operations and the widespread use of adapted technology and unskilled labor mark the sector. For this reason micro-enterprises are best suited for disadvantaged communities. They are important for reducing poverty and promoting social and economic development in both rural and urban areas for social and economic development of Nepal. Their roles are important because they have qualities like creating self-employment opportunities, providing jobs for the poor and women, utilizing local resources, and fulfilling the basic needs of the impoverished.
Banking Service and Customer Satisfaction in Commercial Banks: Nepalese Perspective
Authors: Singh Hridayaswor Bir
Published: June 2024

The banking sector has become competitive significantly like other service-oriented businesses. Banks are continuously looking for ways to enhance their service and trying to distinguish themselves from competitors. As the quality of service has attracted the major attention of bankers over the recent years understanding its role in customer satisfaction, this study focused on this aspect. Bank is financial intermediary accepting deposits and granting loans (Singh H. B, 2005). It offers the widest menu of financial services to its customers (Singh, 2005). In the contemporary context, the Nepalese banking industry has played a significant role in the development of the economy. Banks of Nepal have adopted liberal policy and have established a strong foundation through quality services (Gautam, 2016).
The growing competition in the banking sector has made it essential for bank management to understand customers’ wishes regarding the service quality offered by banks to enhance customer satisfaction and optimize the profitability of banks. In this regard, this study explores to answer the following question; what are the customers’ views and demand on the banking service offered by commercial banks in Nepal? The study identified the possible expectations that customers have on the quality of banking service. The study adopted a descriptive design with population of interested customers of commercial banks in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Questionnaires were administered to customers from a total of 28 commercial banks located within Kathmandu valley. The findings from the study established a positive relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction in Nepalese commercial banks. The conclusion from this study is that customer satisfaction can lead to customer retention in commercial banks. Recommendations based on the findings will help to enhance the satisfaction and retention of customers if they are implemented in the Nepalese banks.
Shelley’s Compassion for the Monster and Hatred for Victor in Frankenstein
Authors: Lamichhane Hari Krishna
Published: June 2024

This paper seeks to study certain affects that Mary Shelley is trying to evoke in Frankenstein for the Monster and against Victor Frankenstein along with other characters in the novel. Though the Monster is taken as the villain in the novel, the research tries to justify him as the good character claiming that whatever he does is just because of the misbehavior his creator, Victor Frankenstein along with other characters in the novel does upon him. The paper applies the theory of affect to study the contrasting representations of the Monster and Victor Frankenstein in the novel. The significance of this approach is the clarity of the cultural politics of the representation and the exposing of Shelley’s love for the Monster. But the question arises, what opposing affects Shelley evokes against the two characters. The conflicting affects, the paper argues, are those of love and respect for the Monster and hatred and disrespect for Victor Frankenstein. The objective of this paper is to justify that every creature in the world has the right to life and that everyone needs love and compassion from others to be happy otherwise one may turn to be destructive like the Monster himself. The particular theory of the affects of love and hatred comes from Sara Ahmed’s The Cultural Politics of Emotion (2003) and the affect of compassion from Ruth Leys’ From Guilt to Shame (2007). Finally, the paper asserts that in the novel, Frankenstein, Shelley claims that every creature in the world has the right to life and that everyone needs love and compassion from others to be happy otherwise one may turn to be destructive like the Monster.

Mathematical model and numerical calculation of the movement of oil products in helicoidal heat exchangers
Authors: Jaichibekov N.Zh. , Kurmanova D.Y. , Zhumanbayeva A.S.
Published: June 2024

Heating of oil and oil products is widely used to reduce energy losses during transportation. An approach is developed to determine the effective length of the heat exchanger and the temperature of the cold coolant (oil) at its outlet in the case of a strong dependence of oil viscosity on temperature. The method of the log-mean temperature difference, modified for the case of variable viscosity, and the methods of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are used for calculations. The results of numerical calculations are compared with the data obtained on the basis of a theoretical approach at a constant viscosity. When using a theoretical approach with a constant or variable viscosity, the heat transfer coefficients to cold and hot coolants are found using criterion dependencies. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and a turbulence model that takes into account the laminar-turbulent transition are applied. In the case of variable oil viscosity, a transition from the laminar flow regime to the turbulent one is manifested, which has a significant effect on the effective length of the heat exchanger. The obtained results of CFD calculations are of interest for the design of heat exchangers of a new type, for example, helicoidal ones.
A CONSTITUIÇÃO DO SUJEITO PSÍQUICO
Authors: Souza Débora Viana de
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo, orientado pela perspectiva da psicanálise, tematiza a constituição do sujeito psíquico com deficiência (intelectual ou física). Ao nascer, a forma como a criança é acolhida pela mãe é determinante na constituição do sujeito, pois é a partir dessa relação pulsional que se pode ter condições de ser inserido no campo do desejo, permitindo ao sujeito desejar e, assim, dar início em sua pesquisa sexual. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre conceitos psicanalíticos, retomando alguns autores, como Jacques Lacan e Maud Mannoni, que permitem verificar a posição subjetiva desse sujeito no campo da linguagem. Assim, esse artigo procurou salientar pontos importantes na construção de um saber do campo da constituição psíquica e as particularidades de sujeitos com deficiência intelectual ou física nesse processo de subjetivação, pois a maneira como o sujeito é acolhido pela mãe é o que determina sua posição frente ao seu próprio desejo, limitando ou possibilitando sua condição de se relacionar como sujeito do desejo e, dessa forma, ter condições necessárias de vivenciar momentos de prazer com o Outro.

Published: June 2024

There is a need to summarise information using phenological models to develop a sustainable saffron production technology with further regulation of flowering at a certain phenological stage and determination of the appropriate flowering period to improve yield and quality under different environmental conditions. The purpose of the study is to establish the course of phenological phases of saffron growth and development in the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Phenological observations and biometric measurements were performed in the study. According to field observations, there are a total of 6 phenological stages of saffron development. The rest period lasts from the third ten days of May to October and is divided into primary and secondary dormancy. During the primary dormant period, corms do not show external morphological changes and growth, but internal physiological and morphogenetic changes occur. In the secondary dormant period, the initial emergence of leaves and flowers and their differentiation take place. During the dormant period, saffron plants were left without aboveground organs. The flowering period falls in October. The passage of this phenological stage may be affected by changes in environmental conditions or agricultural technology. The growth of the root system began with the appearance of flowers and leaves. During the growing season, the growth of the leaf apparatus and the development of the root system continue. During this period, daughter corms are also formed from the buds of the mother corm. During the winter, the replacement corms continue to grow using the nutrient reserves of the mother corm. In early March, the development of the root system slows down and the daughter corms reach almost the final size. At the end of the growing season, the root system of the mother corm stops growing. The leaves begin to age from the top to the base. By the end of May, the daughter corms are fully developed and are preparing for the transition to a dormant state. The number of corms produced per unit area depends on the age of the plot, nutrient supply, and the level of agricultural technology. Older fields produce more corms. Due to the higher density, a larger yield of stamens is formed. Therefore, understanding the phenological reactions and influence of climatic factors on the stages of saffron growth and development in certain soil and climatic conditions is useful for future forecasting of harvest time

Authors: Yanitskyi Volodymyr
Published: June 2024

In the field of ecology, more and more attention is paid to the analysis of the interaction of herbaceous plants with the structure of ecosystems, including forests. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of herbaceous plants on the biodiversity and stability of pine plantations in Western Polissia of Ukraine. To achieve this goal, in 2010-2023, the State Enterprise “Research Farm “Horodetske” assessed the diversity of herbaceous plant species, measured their number and cover, evaluated soil physical properties and biometric parameters of pine trees, and assessed how changes in the pine plantation ecosystem caused by herbaceous plants can affect carbon sequestration and oxygen productivity. The study found that herbaceous species among pine plantations in Western Polissia perform important ecological functions that contribute to the conservation and restoration of ecosystems. The presence of these plants enriches the soil with organic matter and helps maintain the structural and functional stability of ecosystems. The study showed that herbaceous plants contribute to the restoration of pine plantations by providing protection and support for young trees, and have a positive impact on their biometric parameters, increasing the total phytomass. Herbaceous plants also improve soil physical properties, such as pH, humus content, aggregate water resistance and water permeability, which can contribute to soil structural stability and the health of pine stands. In addition, the presence of herbaceous plants contributes to more efficient carbon sequestration and oxygen production, which is important for the balance of the air environment in the ecosystem. The results obtained are of great importance for environmental management and conservation of natural resources in the Western Polissia region, as they provide scientific basis for developing strategies for the conservation and restoration of forest ecosystems, taking into account the role of herbaceous plants in their functioning

Mangun Jaya Village is an area affected by flooding every year. There are at least two characteristics that cause flooding, namely local rain with high rainfall and the overflow of the Bekasi River. Kali Bekasi is a river located in the village of Mangun Jaya, South Tambun sub-district, Bekasi Regency, which has a large current, especially when it rains. In this community service activity, the team from Bhayangkara University, Jakarta Raya, has succeeded in developing a potential flood monitoring system based on IoT technology as a disaster mitigation measure. This system consists of a sensor device that can measure the height of the river surface and rainfall where these physical data are sent to the Internet. Access to this potential flood data can be done in real time and remotely using mobile devices and internet computers. This system has also been tested in the field by installing sensors on the edge of the Bekasi River where an average of 1429 data is collected daily. The percentage of data loss is 0.75%. This proves that the system can be used as a preventive effort in dealing with potential flooding in South Tambun Regency.
