Published: November 2020

Social entrepreneurship is the ability to be an agent of change for various economic, environmental, social and political issues at local and global levels. It is believed that exposure of youth to social entrepreneurial theories and practice in institutes of higher education can impact this change. The students in various universities armed with knowledge and skills that they gained, with the support of entrepreneurial culture and environment while in campus may help them to choose social entrepreneurship as a career option after their formal education. In this backdrop, this research aims to identify the levels of entrepreneurial intentions and social entrepreneurship among University students. A sample of 150 university students across the country was included in the research. Factor analysis was used to identify factors that influence social entrepreneurship intentions. Five factors which influence social entrepreneurship intentions were identified - social entrepreneurship interest, entrepreneurial attitude, proactive personality, entrepreneurship education and perceived behavioral control. Furthermore, correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship amongst social entrepreneurship intentions factors. The results were significant which indicated that there was a positive linear inter-factor association.

Published: November 2020

Dalam proses melakukan kegiatan pembelajaran di kelas oleh guru dan peserta didik, masih terdapat peserta didik yang hanya duduk, mendengarkan, mengerjakan latihan, kemudian bergegas untuk pulang. Terdapat kegiatan fisik di dalam kelas, namun tidak ada kegiatan mental. Belajar pada dasarnya membutuhkan adanya kegiatan, baik kegiatan fisik maupun kegiatan mental. Dengan kegiatan belajar, peserta didik mampu mengikuti semua rangkaian di kelas dengan benar. Selama kegiatan belajar diperlukan gagasan bertujuan supaya peserta didik dapat memecahkan masalah jika terjadi kesulitan belajar, karena dengan demikian berarti peserta didik sedang berkreativitas. Kreativitas yaitu kamampuan untuk dikembanggkan yang dimiliki setiap orang, bertujuan membuat sebuah inovasi berbentuk orisinil, baik berbentuk gagasan ataupun ide-ide baru maupun karya. Kreativitas itu terpecah menjadi dua yakni kreativitas produk dan kreativitas sikap. Hal yang mampu menjadikan peserta didik menjadi juara itu juga salah satunya dengan kreativitas yang mampu dikembangkan sendiri. Karena dengan kreativitas peserta didik mampu memudahkan dalam menemukan kesulitan belajar di kelas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan kegiatan belajar peserta didik dengan kreativitas belajar peserta didik. Penulis memakai metode kuantitatif korelasional. Populasi yang digunakan sebanyak 132 peserta didik, kemudian peneliti menjadikan bagian kecil yang mewakili keseluruhan yang lebih besar yaitu berjumlah 99 peserta didik.

Authors: Sesrita Afridha 
Published: November 2020

Buku ajar IPA yang digunakan saat pembelajaran dilakukan oleh guru bersama peserta didik seharusnya mampu mengkonstruksi konsep-konsep yang dipelajari, membiasakan berfikir kritis, adanya interaksi antara sains, teknologi dan masyarakat serta mengajak peserta didik untuk melakukan berbagai eksperimen dan penyelidikan dengan metode ilmiah agar semua aspek literasi sains muncul. Namun buku ajar yang tersedia di perpustakan sekolah belum memuat aspek-aspek pada literasi sains tersebut. Tujuan pelaksanaan sebuah penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat sejauh mana literasi sains yang terdapat pada buku ajar yang digunakan dalam proses pembelajaran dipahami oleh guru. Pendekatan kuantitatif yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian deskriptif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah buku ajar yang paling banyak digunakan oleh guru-guru IPA SDN se-Kecamatan Ciawi Bogor. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan aspek-aspek pada literasi sains yang paling banyak muncul pada buku ajar yang dianalisis adalah aspek pengetahuan sains.

Authors: Ghosh Raghumoy , Mukherjee Kheya , Maiti Saumyajit , Bhattacharjee Debojyoti , Chowdhuri Shubho 
Published: November 2020

Background: Pleural effusions often cause a diagnostic dilemma. The first step in the evaluation of pleural effusions is the distinction between exudates and transudates.
Aims and Objectives: The current study was designed to distinguish these two broad subgroups of pleural effusions, based on the protein carbonyl gradient between pleural fluid and serum.
Materials and Methods: Forty-four exudative and thirty-six transudative pleural effusion cases based on clinical findings and evaluation by Light’s criteria were selected. Protein carbonyl was measured by established photometric method using dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) method in pleural fluid and serum of all the cases.
Results: Oxidative stress, estimated by the protein carbonyl gradient between pleural fluid and serum, was found to be higher in exudates when compared to transudates. No significant difference was existent between exudates of different aetiology. However, the gradient was higher in exudates from males compared to females. No such difference was found among transudates.
Conclusions: Carbonyl stress being a simple easily measurable biochemical parameter, pleural fluid to serum protein carbonyl gradient may serve as a useful tool for differentiating pleural effusions based on pathogenesis.

Background: Psychiatric disorders have been rising in last few years and emerging as leading cause of disease burden. Psychiatry as a discipline of medicine carry a lot of stigma due to which there is a lack of young medical students or professionals in choosing psychiatry as a career.
Aims and Objectives: To study the impact of psychiatry posting on attitude towards psychiatry and estimation of likelihood of Psychiatry as a career choice in female interns.
Materials and Methods: A cross sectional observational study of 112 female interns who met the Inclusion criteria. A written informed consent was obtained from the interns. A selfassessable ATP-30 scale was used to assess the attitude of the interns, this questionnaire was filled by the interns on the first day and after the two weeks of their posting in psychiatry department. The data collected was analysed with the help of SPSS version (21.0) info.
Results: Ninety-eight interns were considered for further analysis because 14 female interns fulfilled the exclusion criteria. More than 95% interns reported to have positive attitude towards psychiatry throughout the posting. Results showed a statistically significant (<0.01) positive attitude towards major areas in psychiatry except only psychiatric hospitals and treatment. Only 33 female interns chose psychiatry as a career choice after the posting of two weeks which is not statistically significant, while around 40% interns denied for it.
Conclusion: Interns showed highly positive attitude towards psychiatry. The positive attitude of interns towards psychiatry would go a long way towards reducing the stigma attached to people with mental illness and mental health professionals.

Published: November 2020

COVID-19 is a pandemic of disproportionate magnitude. Its devastating effect seems to have a more significant impact on the emerging economies like India and the rest of SE Asia, which also has regions harbouring some of the world's highest population density living under poor socio-economic condition. What seems to have originated from one just one province in China, rapidly speard like wildfire across international territories, affecting millions and crippling the health care system. After about eight months into COVID-19, we realized that the fallout is not only humongous but also stretched across multiple avenues of the society and different aspects of our life. The scars of COVID-19 are much more than the virus itself. With a global shutdown in business and financial institutions, the economy is in free fall. Markets plummeted, stocks crashed and unemployment numbers skyrocketed. Apart from the economy, COVID-19 related shutdown has a tremendous impact on the healthcare system for those with preventable ailments, which were either compromised or delayed affecting millions who need hospitalization for non-COVID causes. COVID crisis also seems responsible for the emergence of a new culture system and mindset that was unprecedented before. With schools and other academic institutions closed, online teaching through electronic media and work from home became the new normal. In this editorial, we summarized the collateral damage on society, economy, and human health in the COVID crisis and few suggestions to chalk out a new plan and strategy to address the challenges for a future episode of similar nature. Though we could still remain vulnerable against similar contagious agents, an advanced planning strategy and preparedness will surely help us better in effective damage control and risk mitigation, not only to reduce mortality, but also from economic downfall.

Published: November 2020

The suitability of crop varieties in a particular location determines the productivity of crops. A field experiment was conducted from February to May 2020 at Shankharapur, Kathmandu, Nepal to evaluate the growth and productivity of potato varieties with and without mulch. Five potato varieties (Cardinal, Janakdev, Khumal Bikas, MS- 42.3, Panauti Local) were evaluated under straw-mulch and no-mulch conditions. The treatments were arranged in two factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The results revealed that the highest tuber yield was produced by Janakdev (34.29 t ha-1) followed by Panauti Local (29.52 t ha-1). Similarly, straw-mulch gave higher yield (25.9 t ha-1) as compared with no mulch condition (21.73 t ha-1). The higher tuber yield in the Janakdev and Panauti Local was because of higher tuber weight per hill, higher number and weight of medium size (50 -100 g) and oversize (> 100 g) tuber per hill. Similarly, higher yield in straw mulch was due to higher number and weight of tuber per hill. Higher gross return, net return was observed and the benefit cost ratioin varieties Janakdev (4.08) and Panauti Local (3.53) and rice straw mulch (2.88). Therefore, potato varieties Janakdev and Panauti Local with straw mulch are most suitable for Kathmandu like climate for improving productivity and profitability.

Published: November 2020

A study was conducted from February to May 2020 to analyze the cost-benefit economics analysis and resource use efficiency of carrot production in Chitwan, Nepal. Altogether 70 households producing carrot were selected randomly and surveyed through the pre-tested semi-structured interview-based schedule. Data was entered and coded using SPSS 25 and analyzed using STATA 12.1. The study revealed that the total variable cost per hectare for carrot production was US $1803.1 and a benefit-cost ratio of 1.81 was estimated. Cobb-Douglas production function models the relationship between production output and production inputs . Production function analysis including seven explanatory variables, showed a significant positive effect of seed cost, tractor cost and human labor cost (P<0.01), fertilizer and manure cost (P<0.05) on gross return but herbicide cost, packaging cost, vitamin and micronutrients cost were found insignificant. The return to scale was found to be 1.42. According to estimated allocative efficiency indices, it is suggested to increase the seed, fertilizer and manure, tractor labor and human labor costs by approximately 45%, 74%, 67%, and 79% respectively and reduce the herbicide and packaging costs approximately by 116% and 246% respectively. The adoption of modern technologies with adjustments to resource use should be suggested to maximize the productivity and profit from carrot production.
Application of micro algae in poultry nutrition; a review
Authors: Thapa Puja 
Published: November 2020

In this review, we unveil the the use of microalgae as a feed ingredient in poultry nutrition. Microalgae are small-sized algae, unicellular, photosynthetic aquatic plants which have been studied as a natural marine resource for a number of economically applications, including animal feed. They are introduced to poultry diets mainly as a rich source of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including docohexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acid, but they can also serve as a protein, microelement, vitamin and antioxidants source, as well as a pigmentation agent for skin and egg yolks. The majority of experiments have shown that microalgae, mainly Spirulina and Chlorella sourced as a defatted biomass from biofuel production, can be successfully used as a feed ingredient in poultry nutrition. They can have beneﬁcial effects on meat and egg quality, through an increased concentration of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids, and in regards to performance indices and immune function. Positive results were obtained when fresh microalgae biomass was used to replace antibiotic growth promoters in poultry diets. Because of their chemical composition, microalgae can be efﬁciently used in poultry nutrition to enhance the pigmentation and nutritional value of meat and eggs, as well as partial replacement of conventional dietary protein sources.
