Published: February 2025

The primary goal of this research is to identify the key HRD practices that link organizational commitment and user predictability. The study employs causal-comparative research design and positivism epistemology. An analysis of associations' effects is done using a cross-sectional survey questionnaire. There were 46508 employees in the survey, and 384 of them were chosen as respondents based on a judgment from ten commercial banks in Nepal. A standardized Likert Scale questionnaire was used to collect data, with 1 denoting strongly disagree and 5 denoting strongly agree. The average Cronbach’s Alpha value for all the variables was 0.77, which has been used as a criterion to evaluate reliability. A total of 430 questionnaires were circulated, and 384 valid responses were collected. SPSS has been used to analyse the data. Regression analysis was used to estimate and forecast the associations. Results reveal that performance management was found to be inconsistent and insignificant, while all other variables that were found to be significant predictors of employee engagement (r2 = 0.648) included training and development, career advancement, and job security. This study also aims to demonstrate the need for proactive, all-encompassing approaches to factor efforts in order to emphasize organizational commitment and ensure alignment with business objectives in Nepalese commercial banks.
The Macaronic Khyali: Shifting Contours of Limbu Indigenous Aesthetics
Authors: Lungeli Dipak 
Published: February 2025

This paper examines selected khyali (traditional performative art of Limbu) from the collection of Bakhat Angdembe and compositions of Swapnil Smriti and Munaraj Sherma in two major borderland contexts; the spontaneous embedding of Nepali and other codes into the paradigm of Limbu repertoire and the functioning of mestiza consciousness in the contact zone. Khyali, a unique four/five syllabic romantic folk song in yakthung pan (Limbu language) performed by young lash and lads, sets introductory inquiries to enhance the further course of yalang (paddy dance) and palam (song unison to yalang). However, macaronic shifts in its highly contextualized contemporary discourses epitomize the folk song as interstitial borderland text. The study addresses the primary questions of what factors contribute to the hybridization of khyali in contemporary contexts and what politics does its hybrid aesthetics promulgate in literary and social-political borders. Pertaining to these questions, the objectives of the study is to analyze resilience and resistance dynamics of Limbu contributing to the hybridity in contour; and to explore the politics of negotiation and re-signification of identity in literary and socio-political borders. To meet the objectives, the study applies theoretical insights of borderland studies specific to the concepts of third space, code switching/mixing and mestiza consciousness. Against the backdrop of this framework, the paper argues that hybridity chronicled in repartee results from the crisscrossed negotiation between Limbu ethnicity and counterpart cultures. The hybrid expressions and worldviews that khyali is filled with reflects the synthesizing power of Limbu people’s while wrestling against the dominant borders. The poetic expressions in khyali function as their agency of resilience, resistance, reinterpretation and adaptation and their ability to recover and reinvent their identity in the face of a shifting literary and socio-political context.

IntroductionCorporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance has become a key factor in achieving sustainable and healthy development, as well as enhancing financial performance. This study examines the impact of corporate ESG performance on financial performance in the Chinese market, providing empirical evidence for its influence and implications.MethodsUsing panel data from Chinese A-share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2009 to 2022, this study employs econometric models to analyze the relationship between ESG performance and financial performance. Endogeneity and robustness tests are conducted to ensure result reliability. Additionally, moderating effects and heterogeneity analyses are performed to explore influencing factors.ResultsThe findings indicate that corporate ESG performance significantly enhances financial performance. This conclusion holds after accounting for endogeneity and robustness tests. Further analysis reveals that financing constraints positively moderate the ESG-financial performance relationship, whereas corporate innovation focus has a negative moderating effect. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the positive impact of ESG performance is more pronounced in enterprises located in eastern regions, state-owned enterprises, and high-pollution industries.DiscussionThis study provides empirical evidence from China, demonstrating the critical role of ESG in corporate financial performance. The results offer valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and corporate managers aiming to promote sustainable development and optimize investment strategies.

BackgroundEpigenetic factors influence inflammaging and geriatric disorders such as sarcopenia and frailty. It is necessary to develop a biomarker/panel of biomarkers for fast and easy diagnostics. Currently, hard-to-access equipment is required to diagnose sarcopenia. The development of a biomarker/panel of biomarkers will prevent many older adults from being excluded from the diagnostic process.MethodsIn this study, we analyzed selected gene expression profiles, namely, SIRT1, SIRT3, SIRT6, DNMT3A, FOXO1, FOXO3A, and ELAVL1, in whole blood. The study included 168 subjects divided into five groups: patients hospitalized at the Geriatrics Clinic and Polyclinic with sarcopenia, frailty syndrome, or without those disorders (geriatric control), and non-hospitalized healthy controls (HC) aged 25 to 30 years and over 50 years.ResultsWe revealed a lower mRNA level of FOXO3A (p&lt;0.001) in sarcopenic patients compared to the geriatric controls. Furthermore, we detected upregulation of DNMT3A (p=0.003) and SIRT3 (p=0.015) in HC over 50 years old compared to HC aged 25 to 30 years. Interestingly, we observed 2 cluster formations during the gene expression correlation analysis (SIRT1, SIRT3, DNMT3A, and FOXO1, ELAVL1). We also noted correlations of clinical parameters with mRNA levels in the sarcopenic patients group, such as vitamin D level with SIRT1 (r=0.64, p=0.010), creatine kinase with SIRT3 (r=–0.58, p=0.032) and DNMT3A (r=–0.59, p=0.026), creatinine with DNMT3A (r=0.57, p=0.026), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) with FOXO3A (r=0.69, p=0.004), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) with FOXO3A (r=–0.86, p=0.007). In the frailty syndrome group, we noted a correlation of appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) with ELAVL1 (r=0.59, p=0.026) mRNA level. In the geriatric controls, we observed a correlation of serum iron with FOXO3A mRNA level (r=–0.79, p=0.036).ConclusionsOur study revealed FOXO3A as a potential biomarker of sarcopenia. Furthermore, we observed a high expression of epigenetic factors (DNMT3A and SIRT3) in older adults.

Published: February 2025

BackgroundLiver ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a critical condition after liver transplantation. Understanding the role of immunogenic cell death (ICD) may provide insights into its diagnosis and potential therapeutic targets.MethodsDifferentially expressed genes (DEGs) between LIRI and normal samples were identified, and pathway enrichment analyses were performed, followed by immune infiltration assessment through the CIBERSORT method. The consensus clustering analysis was conducted to separate LIRI clusters and single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) was used to analyze the distinct immune states between clusters. Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was employed to identify hub genes associated with ICD. To establish diagnostic models, four machine learning techniques, including Random Forest (RF), XGBoost (XGB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Generalized Linear Models (GLM), were applied to filter gene sets. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were utilized to assess the performance of the models.ResultsPathway enrichment results revealed significant involvement of cytokines and chemokines among DEGs of LIRI. Immune infiltration analysis indicated higher levels of specific immune functions in Cluster 2 compared to Cluster 1. WGCNA identified significant modules linked to LIRI with strong correlations between module membership and gene significance. The RF and SVM machine learning algorithms were finally chosen to construct the models. Both demonstrated high predictive accuracy for diagnosing LIRI not only in training cohort GSE151648 but also in validation cohorts GSE23649 and GSE15480.ConclusionsThe study highlights the pivotal roles of ICD-related genes in LIRI, providing diagnosis models with potential clinical applications for early detection and intervention strategies against LIRI.

Authors: Chen Fang 
Published: February 2025

IntroductionAccurate speed measurement is crucial for improving the efficiency and reliability of the transmission system in hydraulic excavators. However, traditional M and T methods have their own limitations in speed measurement, especially in terms of measurement accuracy over a wide speed range.MethodsA M/T velocity measurement algorithm combining the advantages of M and T methods was proposed to address this issue, and dynamic errors were obtained. The kinetic energy theorem can also be used.ResultsThe experimental results show that under the normal load of unit tooth width F, the change rate of transmission error is less than 5% and less than 2% nM &gt; 100N/mm.DiscussionThe monitoring method of hydraulic excavating mechanical transmission error has the advantages of high accuracy and strong adaptability, which can provide a new highway bureau for mechanical transmission error monitoring.
