Student Assessment in Formal Education: Nepali Community School Teachers’ Perspectives
Authors: Saud Mohan Singh , Aryal Samjhana , Sapkota Jib Lal
Published: May 2024

The present secondary level English curriculum of Grade 9 and 10 in Nepal has made the provision of 25 marks internal assessment system as part of summative evaluation. In this context, this study examines the existing internal assessment practices adopted by the English language teachers in the Secondary Education Examination of the community schools in Nepal. Employing the qualitative phenomenological research design, five secondary level English language teachers were selected purposively as research participants. Semi-structured interviews and participant observation were used as tools for collecting data. The data were analyzed inductively as content analysis using the internal assessment criteria of participation, listening, speaking, and score from terminal examinations as determined by the curriculum as part of summative evaluation. The result was interpreted through the perspective of Vygotsky’s (1978) zone of proximal development and the theory of scaffolding in relation to the assessment for learning, assessment as learning, and assessment of learning. The prominence of assessment of learning as the dominant practice has resulted in the marginalization of the other two purposes of assessment. The findings of the study highlight the need for a more balanced approach that encompasses assessment for learning and assessment as learning, ensuring a comprehensive and holistic evaluation of students’ progress and development.
Midday Meal Programs in Institutional and Community Schools of Nepal: A Comparative Analysis of Students’ Meal Choices
Authors: Tripathi Krishna Prasad
Published: May 2024

Midday meals play a crucial role in satisfying and motivating students during teaching-learning activities, ensuring that they receive their basic education rights. As food and nutrition are fundamental for every living being, and since students spend a significant portion of their day in school, they require snacks to sustain their energy levels. The study aimed to recognize modalities related to parents' education and evaluate school physical facilities associated with midday meals in institutional and community schools. The research, conducted with the participation of school principals and fifth-grade students, revealed significant disparities in providing midday meals and the quality of school facilities. The study employed an explanatory sequential design. Ten headteachers and 240 students were the samples for this research. The interview schedule and observing rating scale were used as data collection tools. The study explored how parents' education levels influence their choices regarding where to enroll their children. It also discovered that parents with lower qualifications prefer community schools, while those with graduate qualifications lean towards institutional schools. Additionally, snack consumption habits differ between institutional and community schools, reflecting potential socio-economic influences. It was found that over half of students in institutional schools brought homemade lunches, while community schools offered meals in canteens. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to enhance school facilities, particularly addressing identified shortcomings to ensure the well-being and safety of students participating in the midday meal program.
Service Quality and Students’ Satisfaction in Higher Education Institutions: Nepali Students’ Experiences and Perceptions
Authors: Adhikari Santosh
Published: May 2024

Service quality in higher education has become a topic of growing interest in recent years. As a competition among higher education institutions around the world has increased, there has been a growing focus on providing high-quality services to students in order to attract and retain them. Thus, it is required to evaluate their satisfaction on the basis of service quality provided by higher education institutions. This study examines students’ satisfaction on service quality of Prithvi Narayan Campus (PNC), Pokhara. Thus, the main objective of the study is to analyse the major influencing factors of non-academic aspects of service quality, to measure the relationship of non-academic aspects of service quality with students’ satisfaction, and to analyse the impact of non-academic aspects on students’ satisfaction on service quality. Using the multi-phase sampling technique, both descriptive and inferential statistic was used to meet the objectives of this study. The overall students’ satisfaction towards the service quality provided by PNC is more than average. The study concludes that there is a low degree of positive correlation between non-academic aspects of service quality and students’ satisfaction. For non-academic aspects of service quality, only extra-curricular activities show a statistically significant impact on students’ satisfaction.
Women’s Participation in Local Governments of Nepal: Assessing Local Elections of 2017 and 2022
Authors: Timilsina Krishna Prasad
Published: May 2024

The Federal Republic of Nepal was established after the second people's movement in 2006. The movement was for more political rights after the 1990 political change in the country. As a result, through the incorporation of inclusive principles into Nepal's constitution, women's representation has been mandated across all sectors of the state, including at the local level. This paper aims to examine the legal provisions and practices concerning gender-balanced seat allocation in key municipal positions, such as chief and deputy chief, chairperson and vice-chairperson, in which at least one occupant must be female. It seeks to understand the reasons behind the political parties nominating women candidates for these positions and whether they are considered reservations for women. Using primary field visits and secondary sources, descriptive analytical and content analysis methods were used to make conclusions about the representation of deputy chief and deputy chairperson in the local elections of 2017 and 2022. The study shows that inclusion is emphasised in Nepal's constitution and other legislation, which require women to be represented in all fields. In the 2017 and 2022 local elections, women held 92% and 74% of the deputy positions, respectively. However, neither politically nor constitutionally, the office of deputy chief is solely reserved for women. The analysis sheds light on the motivations behind political parties nominating women candidates for these positions and explores whether they are perceived as reservations for women.
Artificial Look: Body Narcissism in the Fashion and Cosmetic Industry
Authors: Sigdel Sangita
Published: May 2024

Consumers universally engage with cosmetic products in pursuit of bodily perfection, often influenced by prevailing fashion trends dictating societal beauty standards through advertising. Consequently, a woman's body serves as a cornerstone of identity, its alignment with these standards transforming it into a commodified entity. While the fashion industry ostensibly champions feminist ideals of empowerment, its underlying motive remains profit generation. This paper endeavors to explore the commodification of women's bodies within the fashion and cosmetic industries, illuminating its enduring implications. Through a historical analysis spanning from the colonial era to contemporary society, we examine the evolution of the body as a commodity, drawing on secondary sources and available data on beauty standards. Grounded in Saussure's structuralist framework, this study aims to unravel the intricate dynamics underpinning the commodification process and its broader societal ramifications.

“Sexual Development”: Timing Puberty in German Enlightenment Medicine (1778–99)
Authors: Janssen Diederik F.
Published: May 2024

From the mid-eighteenth century onward, French vitalists started to re-theorize the bodily clock of maturation. Archaic notions of precocity as an ill omen and ancient constructions of sexual timing as ethnic markers now acquired an increasingly physiological profile. Regulatory conceptions of sexual and psychosexual “development” widely animated German literature in the closing decades of the century. Here is evidence of new interdisciplinary problematizations of pubescence ( Mannbarkeit) as the coordination in time of the mental apparatus ( Seele, Character) and the sex drive ( Geschlechtstrieb). New developmental-physiological frames for sexual maturity and psychosexuality readily extended to the fate of Nationalcharacter, sponsoring various roundtables concerning etiological questions.

Aim. To evaluate the implementation of the modern breastfeeding support principles into the practice of the maternity hospitals in Moscow. Design. Observational cohort study. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of two maternity hospitals in Moscow. With the help of a questionnaire specially developed by us, an anonymous survey of maternity patients was conducted at the time of discharge. A total of 614 mothers were interviewed from October 2020 to July 2021. Results. In general, the clinical practice of breastfeeding support in the maternity hospitals has demonstrated its stability and compliance with the criteria recommended by WHO for monitoring the main clinical practices. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding at the time of discharge from the hospital was 83.9%. The majority of mothers were satisfied with the breastfeeding support provided to them (90.9%). Mothers highly appreciated the work of lactation consultants introduced into the staffing of hospitals. Nevertheless, shortcomings were also identified in the implemented practice of breastfeeding support that requires improvement. Conclusion. The introduction of modern practice of breastfeeding support in maternity hospitals contributes to an increase in the level of breastfeeding among maternity hospitals, including exclusively breastfeeding from birth. To achieve the sustainability of this practice, it is necessary administration support, training of the medical staff, including lactation consultants, and monitoring of the breastfeeding practice.

Aim. To evaluate the role of placenta growth factor (PlGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) in the pathogenesis of placental adherent and invasive pathology (PAIP). Key points. sFlt-1 is an inhibitor of the angiogenic action of PLGF and VEGF. The concentration of sFlt-1 in the blood serum of patients with PAIP was significantly lower than in women with physiological pregnancy in all the studies presented in this review. Only two studies have determined thresholds for serum markers for PAIP, but according to the results of the meta-analysis, they had large differences. Despite the known proangiogenic function of VEGF and PlGF, a significant correlation between their levels was not found either in serum by enzyme immunoassay or in expression on chorionic cells, decidual tissue and myometrium in abnormal placental invasion. Conclusion. Further study of the role of VEFG, PlGF and sFlt-1 in the pathogenesis of PAIP is needed to find their threshold levels in the blood and use as a diagnostic markers. Keywords: placental adherent and invasive pathology, placenta previa, vascular endothelial growth factor, placenta growth factor, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1, vascular endothelial growth factor receptors-l and -2.

Aim. Analysis of the possibilities of predicting gestational diabetes mellitus in early pregnancy in obese women. Key points. The incidence of obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus among the female population in the world is steadily increasing. Obesity is an independent risk factor for gestational diabetes. Diabetes mellitus, which occurred during pregnancy, is associated with a number of complications for both the mother and the fetus. The presented literature review summarizes modern ideas about the prognosis of gestational diabetes mellitus in early pregnancy in obese women. Data on the effectiveness of various prognostic factors of gestational diabetes are presented. Conclusion. To date, both clinical and laboratory predictors of gestational diabetes are known, but there are no regulated criteria for its diagnosis in the early stages of pregnancy. There is a need to conduct large-scale studies in order to select the most significant predictors of this disease in obese women and introduce them into the practical activities of an obstetrician-gynecologist. Keywords: prediction, gestational diabetes mellitus, obesity.

Primary intraosseous xanthoma of the frontal bone in a child: illustrative case
Authors: Madsen Peter J , Kundishora Adam J , Reeves Benjamin C , Coyle Anne M , Nagasawa Daniel T , Wong Judith M , Yang Isaac , Tucker Alexander M
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Skull lesions are a common finding in children, with dermoid cysts and eosinophilic granulomas observed most frequently. However, primary intraosseous xanthomas of the calvaria, which are lytic, expansile lesions that develop without underlying hyperlipidemic disease, are rare in children, with only one prior case reported.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors describe the case of a healthy 6-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of an enlarging midline skull mass that developed after a recent minor trauma. Imaging showed a full-thickness, lytic frontal bone lesion with an aggressive appearance and heterogeneous contrast enhancement. The patient underwent gross-total resection of the lesion with placement of a mesh cranioplasty. Histopathology revealed a primary intraosseous xanthoma. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 2 and required no further treatment at the 1-month follow-up.

LESSONS

This is the first reported case of a primary intraosseous xanthoma in the frontal bone of a pediatric patient. It emphasizes the need to include primary xanthomas in the differential diagnosis for pediatric skull lesions, particularly when the lesion has an aggressive radiographic appearance or the patient has a history of focal trauma. Furthermore, our findings indicate that resection, together with subsequent monitoring for lesion reccurrence, is an adequate first-line treatment.
The Role of the Ministry of Lector and Acolyte in the Context of the Instruction for Parishes in the Service of Evangelisation (June 29, 2020) and the Letter Spiritus Domini (January 10, 2021)
Authors: Biela Bogdan
Published: May 2024

The principal weight of the Church’s responsibility for evangelization rests on the parish. However, the pastoral practice shows that there is no sufficient principle to organize the missionary life of the parish as a community of communities. This frequently leads to confusion in a multitude of activities, which contributes to the failure of the parish to fulfill its principal evangelizing mission. Firstly, the article shows how the introduction of ministries of lector and acolyte into the life of the parish may help revitalize the basic functions of the parish, which are: martyrdom, liturgy, and diakonia. Men and women who discovered their specific vocation to the ministry of lector and acolyte may become pillars of concrete parish groups and apostolic work realized in the parish. It is closely related to a proper understanding of the ecclesial dimension of each of these ministries. In view of the above, the article presents pastoral inspirations of the Instruction of the Congregation for the Clergy The Pastoral Conversion of the Parish Community in the Service of the Evangelising Mission of the Church, and the indications of Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter Spiritus Domini. Secondly, the text presents the liturgical ministries in the light of the hierarchical, charismatic, and spousal dimension of the mystery of the Church. The final part of the article describes the pastoral dimension of these ministries in realizing the evangelizing mission of the Church.
References to Scripture in the Old Polish History of the Three Kings. Quotations, Allusions, Echoes
Authors: Bryłka-Baranowska Zofia
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the references to Scripture in Historyja trzech kroli (History of the Three Kings), an Old Polish apocryphal work preserved in a copy from 1544. The references to the Bible are divided into quotations, allusions and echoes. Quotations were introduced either by reference to a particular location or author of the biblical text, or to an unspecified “prophet” or “evangelist.” Sometimes they were not signaled in any way. Then the quotation could only be identified by recognizing the passage to which it refers. Allusions to the Old and New Testaments mostly consisted of references to characters, places, and events, without quoting the text of Scripture itself. The featured echoes most often consisted of narrative parallelisms between the story of the Wise Men from the East and the first Church. References to Scripture in the apocryphal work served to emphasize typology and create parallelisms between biblical history and the story of the three kings. The text emphasizes the role of the Gentiles in salvation history while belittling the role of Israelites.

Two Problems About Moral Responsibility in The Context of Addiction
Authors: Burdman Federico
Published: May 2024

Can addiction be credibly invoked as an excuse for moral harms secondary to particular decisions to use drugs? This question raises two distinct sets of issues. First, there is the question of whether addiction is the sort of consideration that could, given suitable assumptions about the details of the case, excuse or mitigate moral blameworthiness. Most discussions of addiction and moral responsibility have focused on this question, and many have argued that addiction excuses. Here I articulate what I take to be the best argument for this view, based on the substantial difficulty that people with severe addiction experience in controlling drug-related behavior. This, I argue, may in some cases be sufficient to ground a mitigating excuse, given the way in which addiction undermines agents’ responsiveness to relevant moral reasons to do otherwise. Much less attention has been devoted to a second set of issues that critically affect the possibility of applying this mitigating excuse in particular cases, derived from the ambivalent nature of agential control in addiction. In order to find a fitting response to moral harm, the person with the right standing to blame must make a judgment about the extent to which the agent possessed certain morally relevant capacities at the time of the act. In practice, this will often prove tremendously difficult to assess. The ethical challenge for the person with the right standing to blame is fundamentally one of making a judgment about matters that seem underdetermined by the available evidence.
