Authors: Amgain Rita , Khadka Dinesh , Joshi Sushila
Published: February 2023

Understanding the soil nutrient content varied with the soil depth is one of the most important aspects of every crop husbandry practice and information about the soil nutrient status of a certain area is very important for nutrient management programs. Considering this, a study was carried out in order to find out the depth-wise status of soil pH, soil organic matter and macronutrients in the paddy-wheat cropping system of the different areas of Rupandehi District of Nepal. The study was undertaken from April, 2019 to May 2019 immediately after the harvesting of the wheat crop. Altogether 108 samples were collected from two soil depths (0-10 cm and 10-20 cm) of randomly selected 54 sampling points by using a soil sampling auger. The soil parameters were determined by analyzing the samples at National Soil Science Research Centre, Khumaltar. The results of the study showed that soil pH values ranged from 6.73 to 8.03, but were non-significantly (p>0.05) affected soil depth. The soil organic matter, Total Nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P2O5) and available potassium (K2O) in the soil were significantly (p>0.05) affected by soil depth.  Higher soil organic matter (2.01±0.06%), Total N (0.10±0.002%), available P2O5 (25.56±1.33 mg kg-1) and available K2O (47.9± 2.11 mg kg-1) were found in 0-10 cm soil depth. Higher concentrations of nutrients in the upper surface may be due to the incorporation of crop residue and supplementation of depleted nutrients by external sources of fertilizers.

Published: February 2023

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate ten cauliflower genotypes at the National Horticulture Research Centre, Khumaltar, Lalitpur from June to December of 2019 and 2020. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Completely Block Design with ten genotypes (Chinese, Sarlahi Deepali, Pusa Katiki, Taichun, Pusa Sarad, Terai 1, Terai 2, Agheni, Cold Queen and Khumal Jyapu)  planted on three dates i.e. June 25, July 15, and August 5 at a 20-day interval. The main objective of this study was to identify planting dates for cauliflower genotypes suitable recommended to planting in early-season under Kathmandu valley conditions. The results showed that planting dates significantly influenced the growth and yield of cauliflower genotypes. At 25th June planting, the genotype Sarlahi Deepali had the significantly lowest days to curd maturation (41 days after transplanting), which was at par with Pusa Katki and Terai -2 (46 DAT) with the lowest yield of 4.0 mt ha-1 and 3.2 mt ha-1, respectively. However, curd weight (438.6 g) and yield (27.4 mt ha-1) were recorded as the maximum in Chinese with 51 days maturity period. On the 15th July planting, Terai 2 had the lowest maturity days (44 DAT), but lower yield (14.6 mt ha-1), while Cold Queen had the highest curd weight and yield (560.8 g and 35.1 mt ha-1), which was at par with Chinese (546.7 g and 34.2 mt ha-1). Similarly, on the 5th August planting, the genotype Terai 2 had the significantly (p<0.001) lowest days to maturity (46 DAT), followed by Sarlahi Deepali (57) and Pusa Katiki (57), whereas the genotype Cold Queen had the highest curd weight and yield (842.1 g and 52.6 mt ha-1), followed by Taichun (718.8 g and 44.9 mt ha-1) and Terai 1 (452 g and 28.3 mt ha-1). The results revealed that genotype Sarlahi Deepali was found to be early maturing for June planting, while Terai 2 was found early for July and August planting, but were not found suitable due to lower yield. The genotypes Chinese and Cold Queen were found best for June and July planting, respectively. Similarly, Cold Queen and Taichun were promising genotypes for August planting.

Published: February 2023

A field experiments was carried out in Pokhara, Kaski, Nepal, to identify integrated disease management options against late blight of potato under natural epiphytotic conditions.Twelve genotypes of potato, including Janakdev as resistant and Cardinal as susceptible, were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Similarly, a two-factor randomized complete block design experiment with three replications was carried out to investigate the interaction effect of planting date and application of chemical, botanical extracts, and a biocontrol agent.Susceptible variety Cardinal was planted in three different dates starting from October 11 at a 15-day interval and received five sprays each of the chemical fungicide Krilaxyl Gold (mancozeb 64% + metalaxyl 8%), 10% V/V extracts of garlic (Allium sativum), neem (Azadirachta indica), and bakaino (Melia azedarach), and Phytoderma (Trichoderma viride) 109 CFU/mL) and water spray as an untreated control.Among the genotypes, CIP384321.15 and Khumal Ujjwal showed the significantly (p<0.01) the lowest mean value of AUDPC (the area under the disease progress curve), whereas susceptible check Cardinal and Khumal Laxmi showed the significantly (p<0.01) the highest mean AUDPC values. Similarly, the 11 October planting with the application of Krilaxyl Gold showed the lowest total AUDPC  value (382.65) and the highest total AUDPC value (1533.41). Besides the chemical fungicide, the application of extracts of garlic, bakaino, neem, and phytoderma could significantly reduce the disease and increase tuber yield. These botanical extracts and biocontrol agents can be used in the integrated disease management of potato late blight.

Published: February 2023

Blanket recommendation of nitrogen (N) for maize would not be applicable as the new high yielding hybridshave been grown in Nepal. A field experiment was carried out during spring season at Badhaiyatal, Bardiya to determine optimum N level for hybrid maize. The treatments consisted of three commercial maize hybrids namely Rampur hybrid-10, Rajkumar and Pioneer-3522 and four N levels i.e., 150 kg ha-1, 175 kg ha-1, 200 kg ha-1 and 225 kg ha-1. The experiment was carried out in split-plot design with maize hybrids as main plot factor and N levels as sub plot factor in three replications.  Results revealed that all yield attributes were significantly (0.05) influenced by variety and nitrogen levels except number of ears harvested per hectare. The grain yield with N level @ 225 kg ha-1 (8.69 t ha-1) was found higher than remaining N levels. The higher yield with 225 kg N ha-1 was because of significantly (0.05) higher leaf area index (4.67 at 75 Days After Sowing, plant height (248.50 cm at 75 DAS), number of kernels per ear (467), ear length (18.59 cm), ear circumference (15.16 cm) and shelling percentage (70.68%). All three maize hybrids: Pioneer 3522 (8.46 tha-1), Rajkumar (8.05 t ha-1) and Rampur hybrid-10 (7.63 t ha-1) were found similar in grain yield. The yield attributes viz., ear length, and ear circumference number of kernels per ear showed positive correlation with grain yield. Therefore, application of N@ of 225 kg ha-1 for the maize hybrids during spring season is suggested in Bardiya.

Published: February 2023

Six genotypes of brinjal were evaluated at the Horticulture Research Station, Malepatan to identify the potential genotype for mid-hills of Gandaki province in the month of May 2020 and 2021. Experiments were conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The genotypes were Jumli Local, Parwanipur Selection 1, Pusa Purple Long, Tanahun Collection, Takunchaur Collection, and Pokhara Lurkee. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in the observed parameters such as fruit per plant, fruit length, fruit weight, and total yield. The highest number of fruits per plant (21.56) was found in the Tanahun Collection followed by Pokhara Lurkee (13.44). The longest fruit (16.07 cm) was found in Pokhara Lurkee, which was at par with Pusa Purple Long (15.51 cm). The highest yield (33.24 mt ha-1) was found in Tanahun Collection followed by Pokhara Lurkee (23.55 mt ha-1). Though Tanahun Collection performed better in yield, Pokhara Lurkee was preferred by the farmers and consumers of the growing area due to long cylindrical shape and its purple color. From this research, it can be concluded that there is a possibility of increasing the productivity of brinjal by the selection of high yielding and consumer preferred genotypes for mid-hill condition of Gandaki province. The genotype showing higher yield and better adaptability needs further evaluation in farmer's field conditions to check the consistency in their performance, and hence, register as a variety.

Funding Community Colleges in Nepal: Issues and Mitigation Measures
Authors: Gupta Shatrughan Prasad
Published: February 2023

The regular development grants provided by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to community colleges are the most important financial support to them. UGC is also supporting its faculties and students through fellowship and scholarship schemes which are another milestone to foster the mission of community colleges. Besides, local governments, individuals, student fees, donations, alumnae support, and income from religious works are also sources of funding. These qualitative and empirical methods based on secondary sources with the eyes of social justice theory in education aim to investigate the funding modality of UGC and its impact on access to higher education. It also aims to point out some of the problems, and issues and highlight the implications of funding, in the Nepalese context. It was found that the input-based funding modality which was based on the indicators such as several students, location, programs, pass rate, and many more was insufficient to promote the access, quality, and relevancy of higher education in community colleges in Nepal.
Women, Nature, and Subservience: An Eco-feminist Study of Kalidas’ Meghadoot
Authors: Air Gagan Singh
Published: February 2023

The article aims to analyze the connections between women and nature in Kalidas’ Meghadoot by using an eco-feminist approach. The paper argues that Kalidasa depicts women and nature as equally subservient to men in the ancient patriarchal society, and his purpose in doing so is to foreground the need to equate women and nature and assert their equality with that of men. As a theory, ecofeminism tends to equate women and nature, particularly in the fact that both face domination and exploitation at the hands of men. The eco-feminist critics believe that the issues of women and ecology are interrelated. To deal with this concept the papers borrow theoretical insights from Warren, Miles, and Vandhana Shiva. The indicates that nature and women are represented as alike in Meghadoot, as both are treated as feminine and exploited by patriarchal society. The human can live a naturally happy life on earth if the hierarchy between males and females is abolished. Revering women also connotes due respect for nature, and this inspiresthe male to love nature as a mother. Through this literary work, the poet Kalidasa intends to show the significance of the idea of equality to maintain harmony among men, women, and nature.

Witch Allegation in Nepal: A Case Study in Tamang Community of Kavrepalanchok District
Authors: Zoowa Sabin Bahadur
Published: February 2023

Even in the 21st century, discrimination in Nepal due to witch allegations is seen as a social evil. The continued people’s movement has changed the political system but has not been able to change the attitude, faith, behavior, and social distortions of the Nepali people. As a result, people are involved in heinous and inhumane activities such as witch accusations. This study aims to explore this inhuman activity seen in the Tamang community which is one of the marginalized and disadvantaged groups in the Kavrepalanchok district in Nepal. The study of this phenomenon of witch accusations from the social point of view and perspective is another supportive objective of this study and to draw the attention of all key stakeholders to the significant scale, severity, complexity faced by Tamang women. Qualitative research with empirical & social perspectives based on both primary and secondary data has been used. Generally, the poor, miserable, helpless, ugly-faced, single women, widows, Dalits, Janajati, untouchables, etc. are mostly suspected of being witch allegations without any justice and proof in our context. Once, they are accused, it is difficult for the victims to stay in society for the rest of their life. However, recent laws have identified it as a social evil and strictly banned discrimination and accused the people on the ground of the witch allegations but in practice, the incident is still increasing. Thus, witches are the byproduct of the beliefs of witchcraft and the practices of witch allegations. This study helped to draw the attention of the policymakers, planners, local-level governments, and the elite group of the society to review policies and practices to overcome the society combating such inhuman activities.

Authors: Shahi Suresh Jang
Published: February 2023

The objective of this article is to compare the volleyball skills among the girl students of community and institutional secondary schools in western Nepal. It also hypothesizes that there is a significant difference in volleyball skills between them. The research was based on the quantitative descriptive design. Altogether 40 girl students were selected as respondents, and 20 girl respondents from each type of school were taken through a simple random sampling method. The AAHPER volleyball skill test was applied as a tool. These test items are the indicators of the volleyball skills of an individual whereas volleying, servicing, passing and set-up measure the volleying, servicing, passing, and setter accuracy skill on the target point respectively. While comparing mean scores, the girls of institutional schools were found better than those of their community school counterparts. Furthermore, was applied p-value of the t-test in each test item separately at a 0.05 level of significance. Thus, it has found no significant difference between both groups in setup and serving tests. In contrast, a significant difference was found in the passing and volleying tests, as well as a composite score. Hence, this paper concluded that there were found significant differences in volleyball skills between both girl groups on overall test items. Therefore, it is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis of this paper. This means the girls of a community school may be more involved in intramural and extramural volleyball competitions, as well as sporting activities.
Socio-Economic Diversity and Inclusion in MBBS Graduates in Nepal
Authors: Pokhrel Rajendra Kumar
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this research is to investigate caste and ethnic composition of in MBBS graduates in Nepal. The researcher undertook the study of MBBS education provided by two universities TU, KU and their affiliated colleges. In total, eighteen medical colleges offering MBBS were finalized. Specifically, the study was undertaken to fulfill the following objectives: to analyze socio-economic inclusion in MBBS education in Nepal and to examine socio-economic diversity in terms of caste and ethnicity of MBBS students. Secondary data, of four admission cycles (2015-2018) of MBBS students obtained from University Dean’s office, were used for the study. Admission to medical school today determines the composition of medical professionals in then future. Caste/ethnic inclusion in medical professionals helps to fully understanding diversity of health problems. Biased medical education affects clinical practice. To address complex and diverse health problems, the medical professionals must become more diverse. The year-wise observation of caste and ethnic inclusion reflects some improvement. Comparatively, 2018 is the most inclusive year in relative term, but disparity still exists. This gets compounded when marginalized communities added on. MBBS education attainment is significantly different among caste and ethnic groups. BCTD is the most represented in MBBS education with 53.2% share, whereas, Dalits are underrepresented ethnic groups with 2.6%. In caste and ethnic inclusion, private medical colleges are better than public ones. Government shouldprovide subsidy to the deserving students from marginalized communities in order to increase their access to medical education. The Government and medical colleges should work to establish inclusive policy that enhance equal opportunities.

Authors: López-López Óscar Eduardo , Domínguez-García Rodrigo , Montero-Cabrera María Elena , Pardo Lorena , Fuentes-Cobas Luis Edmundo
Published: February 2023

This work presents the results of a simulation by the Monte Carlo method, performed through the GEANT4 code, of the irradiation and energy deposition by high flux X-rays on the piezoelectric ceramic Bismuth-Sodium Titanate doped with Barium. X-rays energies were around the Ti-K absorption edge emulating a transmission experiment, and the irradiation with 5300 eV X-rays for a fluorescence experiment. The method consists of introducing the data that describes a characteristic R3c structure of the polarized ceramic, reported in the literature. The absorption coefficients for the energies of interest, as well as the energy deposited in the form of radiation doses, are calculated. Intensity changes for specific energy lines in the micro-fluorescence spectra, which suggest the presence of vacancies in the crystal structure, are verified via simulation. The vacancy density produced by a typical photon flux of a fourth-generation synchrotron beam is calculated through the threshold displacement energy for vacancy production. Consequently, the simulation is carried out for a structure with appropriate Bi and O vacancies, and the ability to detect the radiation damage is verified by comparison with micro-XRF and XAFS experimental results. The simulation predicts a maximum dose of 1.21-1.27x105 Gy irradiating 107 photons for the given energy and a maximum vacancy density of 1.10x108 / micron3 for oxygen atoms and 6.90x107 /micron3 for bismuth atoms.

Published: February 2023

In modern democratic states, citizen participation is promoted through representative channels. In recent years, at the different institutional and political levels in Spain, some classic parameters of democracy have been called into question, such as citizen representation, deliberation, and the responsibility of the rulers towards the citizens. This crisis coincides with a decline in bipartisanship in Spain and the appearance of new parties. Some of this parties championed the regeneration of democracy, committing themselves to encouraging transparency and citizen participation in public management. As local entities are the institutions closest to citizens, both transparency and participation become key elements to comply with these parameters, providing the technologies of information and communication (ICT) with new tools such as websites and portals, which can contribute to strengthening them. This research aims to analyze the use of these channels to promote transparency and citizen participation, by the municipalities of 4 autonomous communities (Catalonia, the Community of Madrid, the Valencian Community, and the Region of Murcia), placing special emphasis on how the left-right axes and old-new parties could influence, along with the population size of the municipalities. The method used consists of a categorical content analysis, based on the Infoparticipa Map indicators and two linear regression models using ordinary least squares. The results and conclusions of the study show that the size of the population and the autonomous community are determining factors in the transparency indices. In addition, the political formations aligned to the left of the ideological spectrum, together with some of the new parties, influence the greater transparency and participation of the websites of the municipalities governed by them.

Общий финансовый рынок Евразийского экономического союза: новые факторы интеграции
Authors: Блохина Т.К.
Published: February 2023

Цель: Выявить противоречия, заложенные в концепцию развития общего финансового рынка в странах Евразийского экономического союза, препятствующие ее эффективной реализации, и обосновать направления развития рынка с учетом применения современных финансовых технологий. Методы: В исследовании были использованы контентный анализ и метод сравнительного анализа, рассчитаны абсолютные и относительные показатели, применен системный подход на основе факторного анализа. Результаты: На основе анализа динамики показателей финансовых рынков в странах Евразийского союза выявлены противоречия в процессе реализации концепции создания общего финансового рынка, которые обусловлены различными подходами правительств стран-участниц союза к формированию институциональной базы развития национальных рынков, что проявляется в занижении роли финансовых рынков в экономиках ряда стран как источника привлечения инвестиционного капитала. Выводы: Развитие цифровых технологий способствует созданию новых условий для межстранового движения капитала, ценных бумаг и других финансовых продуктов. Ключевую роль в этом процессе в последнее время стали играть финансовые платформы, которые приняли на себя основной поток капитала и финансовых услуг. При этом они реализуют интеграционный потенциал цифровых технологий через установление стандартов проведения финансовых операций, что позволяет нивелировать особенности и различия национальных финансовых систем. В силу чего финансовые платформы могут сгладить сложившиеся противоречия и принять на себя функции обеспечения эффективного развития всех сегментов общего финансового рынка.

Authors: Andena Sergio , Barberini Danielle , Baia Lucile
Published: February 2023

Separation Anxiety Syndrome (SAS) in dogs has been one of the most common post-Covid-19-pandemic behavioral disorders, which usually presents destructive and aggressive behavior, excessive barking, urinating and defecating in inappropriate places, vomiting, anxiety, frustration, panic, fear, boredom and aggressiveness as some of the clinical signs. Treatment usually consists of environmental enrichment, behavioral training, allopathic treatment with anti-depressives, anxiolytics and integrative treatments such as Plactiplantibacillus plantarum PS128, the herbal medicine Ashwagandha, homeopathy and acupuncture. We present the clinical case of a male dog, Brazilian terrier breed, who showed separation anxiety when his tutors returned to work after the isolation brought on by the covid-19 pandemic; the dog has also presented seizures every-3-4 months and grade 3-4 periodontal disease. After repertorization, treatment with Arsenicum album 30 CH twice a day was instituted for 30 days for separation anxiety. For periodontal disease, Mercurius solubilis 6CH three times a day for 30 days and, for seizure crises, Cicuta virosa 200 CH once a week until further recommendations. After returning at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days for re-evaluation, noteworthy improvement in anxiety behavior was reported, as well as spacing in seizure episodes. The homeopathic medicines instituted in this clinical case report demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of behavioral disorders, as well as the physical signs.

Published: February 2023

Foreign bodies (FB) in the gastrointestinal tract are a frequent problem in the physiological routine of small animals, especially in cubs. In domestic cats, the diagnosis of linear FBs is recurrent, can cause several serious complications, and can progress onto death. The diagnosis is confirmed through history, clinical, laboratory and imaging findings or, in certain situations, by exploratory celiotomy. The treatment can be infectious, through gastrotomy, enterotomy and/or enterectomy. This report aims to describe the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in a cat with linear FB. The patient was treated with a surgical procedure, performed with techniques of gastrotomy, enterectomy of a segment of the small intestine, and enterotomy to remove the string. The patient recovered well and was discharged.
Orquiectomia em equinos: Revisão
Authors: Santos Beatriz Oliveira , Pimentel Maria Laura
Published: February 2023

Several clinical conditions of the reproductive tract, such as cryptorchidism, lead to the choice of an orchiectomy procedure as a treatment, but that is not its only indication. An orchiectomy is also indicated in cases of owners who wish to carry out population or behavior control. There are some techniques mentioned in the literature for performing the procedure, such as the pre-scrotal, scrotal and perineal approach, and the open, closed and semi-closed techniques, varying according to the surgeon's preference. In any case, prior detailed clinical evaluation and treatment of identified diseases is recommended before the procedure is performed. In addition, an adequate postoperative period and correct application of the technique reduce the risk of contamination and complications. This study aimed to carry out a literature review on orchiectomy in horses, in order to help veterinary medicine students and professionals in their studies and choices of techniques to employ.
Is the recycling of purified water from the Ain El Arbaa region for agricultural purposes possible?
Authors: CHACHOUA Mounira
Published: February 2023

The region of Ain El Arbaa, like all Algerian municipalities, suffers from a water shortage crisis. The main objective of this work is to investigate the possibility of reusing treated water from the region.

For this purpose, we have examined the quality of the water treated by the D'Ain El Arbaa treatment plant.

The analyzes carried out on the incoming sewage and outgoing waste water from the lagoon focused on the following parameters: (pH, total suspended solids (TSS), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH4, electrical conductivity). This during the period from January 2021 to May 2021 with a sampling frequency of twice a month.

The results obtained show that this purification process using two sectors (pre-treatment, secondary treatment) is insufficient and does not meet the quality standards required for agricultural use for the parameters: TSS, COD, and electrical conductivity. For the preservation of the receiving environment, the results did not comply with the standards for the parameters TSS, DOC, NH4.

The abatement yields of the lagoon treatment plant studied were average for all the parameters studied.

So according to this work we can conclude that natural lagooning alone is not sufficient to have purified water that complies neither with the quality required for agricultural reuse, nor with the quality required for discharge into the natural environment.

Then the addition of a complementary tertiary treatment, such as filter basins planted with macrophytes is necessary.

Nano sized Titanium dioxide (TiO2) produced by sol-gel method was applied on worsted fabrics using mini stenter before and after dyeing with Anthra red B and Acid black 194. The effect of TiO2 on breaking strength, tear strength, seam slippage, hydrophobicity, fastness and color change of the fabrics examined comparatively by considering the application step. The effect of TiO2 application on brightness and dyeing of the fabrics were measured using a spectrophotometer and FTIR-ATR, respectively. It was observed that TiO2 application increased the brightness of the black colored fabrics, while it dulled the pink colored fabrics.
Mikro Rüzgâr Türbin Modelleri Üzerine Bir Araştırma
Authors: İÇEL Yasin
Published: February 2023

İnsanoğlunun geçmişten günümüze kadar olan en büyük sorunlarından biri enerji ihtiyacı olup teknolojinin günden güne ilerlemesiyle birlikte hayatın tüm evresindeki gereksinimlerini enerji kaynakları karşılamıştır. Günümüzde iklim değişiklikleri ele alınırken gelecekteki dünya enerji ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için konvansiyonel enerji kaynakları üzerinde daha fazla baskı oluşmaktadır. Sürdürülebilir enerji kaynaklarından biri rüzgâr enerjisidir. Fosil yakıtlarla karşılaştırıldığında rüzgâr enerjisi, bugün dünyanın karşı karşıya olduğu birçok çevre sorununun (sera etkisi, atmosfer, toprak ve su kirliliği) çözülmesine yardımcı olan alternatif bir enerji çözümüdür. Ancak büyük ölçekli rüzgâr enerji santrali kurulumunun iklim şartlarına ve çevreye potansiyel etkileri (yüksek desibelde gürültü oluşturmaları, yerleşim yerlerine yakın kurulamamaları, göçmen kuşlara ve tabiata zarar vermeleri, şebekeye aktarma ve depolama sorunları, kurulumda yüksek maliyetler gerektirmesi, ışık kirliliği ve görüntü kirliliği oluşturmaları vb.) olduğundan, merkezi olmayan mikro rüzgâr türbinleri bu etkileri minimize etmek için sürdürülebilir bir seçenektir. Bu derleme çalışması mikro rüzgâr türbinlerinin üstünlüklerini ve farklı kanat sayısına sahip mikro türbinleri uygulanabilirliğini göstermek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çok kanatlı (6 ve üstü) mikro rüzgâr türbinlerinin daha verimli olduğu belirtilmiştir. Ancak çalışmalar genellikle simülasyon ağırlıklı olduğundan deneysel çalışmalar yapılması ve mikro rüzgâr türbinlerinin yerleşim alanlarında kullanılabilirliğini göstermek gerekmektedir.
