Authors: Karkee Ajaya , Mandal Dhanik Lal 
Published: March 2020

An in-vitro experiment was carried out for testing the efficacy of various fungicides by adopting poisoned bait method against Rhizoctonia solani (isolated from large cardamom) in Agricultural Research Station, Pakhribas. The experiments were conducted with Completely Randomized Design (CRD) during 2016 with four replications. Two level of concentration of the fungicides (10 ppm and 100 ppm) were used and concentration was calculated based on active ingredients (a.i.) of the pesticides. At lower concentration (10 ppm), Nativo (Tubeconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25 WG) and Dhanustan (Carbendazim 50 % WP) whereas at higher concentration (100 ppm), Folicure (Tubeconazole 25.9 %) and Saaf (Carbendazim 12 % + Mancozeb 63 % WP) found effective for the inhibitions of mycelia growth of R. solani. For the control of R. solani, Nativo and Dhanustan showed greatest inhibition of mycelia growth at 10 ppm concentration as compared to other fungicides. The fungicides containing Tubeconazole and Carbendazim as active ingredients, shows highest degree of mycelia inhibitions as compared to others. The fungicides found effective for inhibition of mycelia growth of R. solani in this study should be further tested in field conditions to verify their efficacy as well as to determine their optimum doses of application.

Authors: Sharma Pratiksha , Kattel Rishi Ram , Subedi Ananta Prakash 
Published: March 2020

This research was conducted to assess farmer’s adaptation strategies of climate change in maize cultivation among Chepang and Non-Chepang communities in Chitwan. Pre-tested questioner, direct observation and secondary data were collected and used. Data analysis was done by using descriptive statistics, time series regression, Logit and seemingly unrelated regression model. Productivity of study area was found to be positively affected by total rainfall whereas negatively affected by average temperature. Majority of respondents (86.7%) were found to adopt any one of the climate change related adaptation strategies on maize cultivation. Among various adaptation strategies, mix cropping (66.3%) was found major in the study areas. Head of household, knowledge about climate change and economically active members in the family were positive determinant on adoption of climate change adaptation strategies.SUR model showed that education of household head, economically active member in the household, an involvement in extension/ training and maize production were major positively significant explanatory variables whereas age, gender of household head and involvement in an organization were major negatively significant explanatory variables in farmer’s decision for adaptation of different climate change combating strategies. The study concluded that farmers of Chitwan perceived change in climate with negative effect on their maize cultivation practices. In comparison to Non-Chepang, Chepang farmers had less knowledge and adaptation practices. More focus from government and Nongovernment sector through proper policy implementation and technology intervention is needed to support this backward community.

Published: March 2020

Beekeeping is a low investment and low input business enterprise with immediate return. However, very few researches has been done on value chain analysis of honey sub-sector in Nepal. Such a backdrop, this research gauges the value chain of honey in Nepal focusing value chain function, actors/products flow and enabling business in 2018. Both primary and secondary information were collected using different research instruments in 2018. This study revealed that Apis cerana was the major honey-bee reared in Pyuthan district and about 50% youth were engaged in beekeeping business. Each household have an average of 32 hives ranging from 15 to 80 hives. Average 32 kg honey was consumed at HHs level and 239 kg was sold. The average wholesale rate of honey at farm gate was about NPR 400-450 (USD 3.6-4.1) per kg with the retail price rate was NPR 500 (USD 4.5). An average income earned from honey sale was NPR 60000 (USD 545) per annum ranging from NPR 20000 to 120000. Majority of the beekeepers received training whereas none of them have done insurance. About 55% of the beekeepers have taken loan from saving groups and cooperatives or MFIs. There has not any provision of grading, processing and labelling of the product at producer’s point in the study area. The main threats of beekeeping came from loss of habitat, disease, pest and enemies. This research suggests to develop upgrading practices with facilitation of basic value chain practices for promotion of high-quality Nepali honey at global markets.

Published: March 2020

This study was undertaken to find out the prevalence of diseases in broilers age group 1-14 days at Chitwan district, Nepal. This subjective study was carried out using the secondary data retrieved from National Avian Disease Investigation Laboratory (NADIL). Chitwan and Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU), Rampur, Chitwan in last two years viz. June 2016 to June 2018. The cases recorded were categorized and those up-to age 14 days old broiler chicks (n=1112) were selected for the study. Data and Informations were entered in Microsoft Excel 2010 and analyzed using SPSS ver. 22. Results illustrates that the average flock size was 913.51± 918.49 with a range from 30 to 10000 chicks. The case was reported highest in 14th day followed by 12th and 10th day. The prevalence of bacterial disease was found to be highest (57.46%) followed by mycoplasma infection (10.61%) and metabolic diseases (10.16%). Prevalence of Colibacillosis was highest (43.25%) followed by Salmonellosis (12.85%) and Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD) (10.61%). The level of chicks’ average mortality was 2.14% of total flock size. The Pearson’s correlation between flock size and mortality was found to be 0.82, which was highly significant (p<0.01). The mortality varies significantly (p<0.01) with change in seasons, the prevalence of disease was higher in summer (32.28%) followed by winter (29.13%). Prevalence was recorded as 65.19% among age group 8-14 days and followed by 1-7 days age group (34.80%). Thus, disease management during second week followed by the first week can decrease the disease prevalence and mortality of chicks and increase the efficiency of farm.

Prevalence and predisposing factors for self-reported hypertension in Bhutanese adults
Authors: Wangdi Kinley , Jamtsho Tshering 
Published: March 2020

Background: Bhutan underwent a nutrition transition in the last two decades. Diet has changed from high-fibre, high carbohydrate and low-fat diets to food with high sugar, fat, salt and processed foods. This is further compounded by a sedentary lifestyle. This paper aims to determine the national prevalence of hypertension and study the associated correlates in Bhutanese adults.
Materials and Methods: This study used secondary data from the Bhutan National Health Survey 2012 (NHS, 2012) which was a nationwide survey covering all 20 districts in Bhutan. The dependent variable was self-reported hypertension under medication. Multivariable logistic regression was undertaken to identify independent correlates of hypertension.
Results: The national prevalence of hypertension was 17.4% (5,408). Risk factors for hypertension were female sex, increasing age, occupation of armed forces, manager, technician, service and sales worker, machine operator and monks, diabetes, and feeling worried. Being single was negatively correlated with hypertension. In addition, hypertension is negatively associated with the poverty of the district.
Conclusion: Hypertension was associated with age, being women, occupation with less physical activity, being worried and having diabetes. The preventive measures both at community and healthcare facility-based through cost-effective strategies should target these covariates.
A story about the Daughter of Ka‘b from the Masnavi Ilahi-nameh by the Sufi Persian poet Farid ad-Din ‘Attar
Authors: Lahuti L. G. 
Published: March 2020

Ka‘b’s daughter Rābi‘a is briefly mentioned in the poetical anthology Lubāb al-awbāb by ‘Aufi as a brilliant poet. A subject of the majority of her poems was love and šāhid-bāzī, i.e. gazing at the beauty of youths, which brings the spectator to internal contemplation of the beauty of the Creator. ‘Attar, a Persian Sufi poet (12–13 cent.), dedicated to the love and death of Rābi‘a the longest story in his Masnavis. So far it has not been ascertained whether it was based upon a certain source, which has not survived until the present day, or whether it was a development of the account by ‘Aufi. The first part of the article contains an analysis of the story about daughter of Ka‘b in the Ilahi-nameh, its place within the structure of the poem as well as discusses its possible historical background. Then a line-by-line translation in Russian is provided, together with an extensive historical and philological commentary.The author declares that there is no conflict of interest.
Intoxication and Laughter in Japanese Buddhism: based on Konjaku monogatari shū, maki 28
Authors: Trubnikova N. N. 
Published: March 2020

The Konjaku monogatari-shū (1120s) is a Buddhist setsuwa collection especially interesting when being put into the context of concepts, which go back to the texts of the Canon. These concepts are considered to the everyday life of the Japanese sangha. One of these concepts is yoi, “intoxication”(Skt. mada). Traditionally, it is being interpreted literally (an intoxication achieved by an intake of alcohol, dope etc.) and in a figurative sense (a human’s consciousness obsessed by a passion). In Konjaku, the intoxication is the main motive for the maki 28. This text is usually read as a set of stories, which are considered as comic regardless of their quite serious end. By succumbing to passion, a person not only acts to his detriment, but also looks ridiculous to others. This means that by getting inebriated he puts himself into such a circumstance when other people start making fun of him. An emotional relationship between a drunk person and the society looks ambiguous: on the one hand, it is harmful for an individual (mocking, people lie, commit cruel acts, etc.), and on the other, it is useful if it reveals a common understanding of the concept of funny. This is a constant value, which is one of the few things to be relied upon in the volatile world. The article includes translations of several stories from the 28th maki of Konjaku.The author declares that there is no conflict of interest.

Authors: Sari Priyanti  , Dian Irawati  , Agustin Dwi Syalfina  
Published: March 2020

Antenatal care is a program that can reduce maternal and infant mortality. Antenatal care program is able to detect complications early in pregnancy followed by health education and prevention of pregnancy complications. The standard frequency of antenatal care visits based on WHO recommendations in 2016 is 8 times. The study aims to analyze the risk factors that influence the frequency of antenatal care visits. The research used was an analytic epidemiological study with a cross sectional approach. The dependent variable was pregnant women at the puskesmas and the independent variables were age, education, occupation, family income, parity, perception, family support, husband support, knowledge. The number of samples obtained from the calculation of the simple random sampling formula is 140. After the data was collected, it was processed and then analyzed univariate, biavariate, multivariate. Statistical test results show that risk factors that influence the frequency of antenatal care visits are parity (PR = 2,453; 95% CI = 1,129-5,331; Pvalue = 0.023) and knowledge (PR = 5,114; 95% CI = 1,878-13,922; Pvalue = 0.001). Good knowledge of pregnant women about antenatal care checks then antenatal care pregnancy visits with the number of visits ? 6 times. The higher the mother's understanding of the importance of antenatal care for maternal and infant health, the better behavior to get health services for pregnancy. Health workers are expected to apply the ANC visit frequency standard in accordance with WHO 2016 standards and increase maternal knowledge about pregnancy to family planning through pregnant mother classes.

Investigation and Comparison of 5 % Diphenyl – 95 % Dimethyl Polysiloxane Capillary Columns
Authors: Nyerges Gyula , Mátyási Judit , Balla József 
Published: March 2020

In gas chromatography, for the analysis, the most important thing is the well-chosen column. After having decided about which stationary phase is the best for our measurement and we know the length, the inner diameter and film thickness, we can buy the column from a lot of manufacturers. The products of these manufacturers’ look similar to each other, but they are different, because of the different manufacturing technologies. These differences could have significant influence on the separation. It is so important to compare the „same” columns, despite the manufacturers’ efforts to produce the best quality columns.5 % diphenyl – 95 % dimethyl polysiloxane stationary phase is widely used. Its slight polarity makes it able to determine very different compounds from the alkanes, through volatiles, drugs, fatty acid methyl esters, amines or phenols.In our work, we tested 5 % diphenyl – 95 % dimethyl polysiloxane stationary phase columns with an 8-component mixture. These columns were from different manufacturers. During isothermal conditions, we determined the height equivalent of theoretical plates on 8 linear velocity level. We represented these parameters as the function of linear velocity. With a constant linear velocity, we measured the excess sorption enthalpy and entropy. From the chromatograms we spotted differences in the retention and in resolution, which is important if we use the column for volatiles or for complex samples. With these parameters we can show many differences between the columns. These parameters have significant influence when we want to use our column for a given task.
Um estudo fenomenológico sobre o filme “a pele que habito”

Published: March 2020

Resumo: Este estudo da película A Pele que Habito foi realizado da perspectiva fenomenológica e traz uma descrição do filme tomado como a coisa, ela mesma, mote da fenomenologia, lançando luz sobre o que ele nos traz, como a pele que eu habito. Buscamos compreender do que se trata essa pele, olhada na totalidade do corpo-vivente entendido como unidade física-psíquica-espiritual que, na temporalidade e espacialidade do mundo-vida que habita junto aos outros, vivencia experiências e se dá conta de si, vivenciando-as. Nosso estudo aponta para a compreensão de que a pele que eu habito diz do corpo-vivente que sou no fluxo contínuo das vivências que vão se entrelaçando e constituindo, pelos atos da consciência, pelas retenções e protensões do vivenciado, estilos de modos de ser da pessoa olhada em todos seus aspectos, destacando-se as diferenças e nuanças do modo de ser pessoa do sexo masculino e do sexo feminino.Palavras-chave: Fenomenologia; Corpo-vivente; Antropologia dual; A Pele que Habito. A phenomenological study on the movie “the skin i live in”Abstract: This study on the film The Skin I Live In was carried out from the phenomenological perspective, describing it as the thing itself, theme of phenomenology, shedding light on what it brings to us, as the skin I live in. We attempted to understand what this skin is about, seen from the wholeness of the lived body understood as physical-psychical-spiritual3 unit that, in the temporality and spatiality of the life-world that live next to others, senses experiences, and realizes itself, experiencing them. Our study points to the comprehension that the skin I live in represents the lived body that I am in the continuous flow of experiences that intertwine and become, through acts of conscience, retentions and protensions of the experienced, styles of being of the person, seen considering all aspects, highlighting differences and shades of the mode of being of the male and female genders.Keywords: Phenomenology; Lived body; Dual anthropology, The Skin I Live In.
