Microfinance in Nepal: An Overview
Authors: Yadav Mukti 
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to explore the current challenges and opportunities of the microfinance sector in Nepal. The secondary data and descriptive research with a critical approach are adopted to explain the study. The data were mainly collected from Nepal Rastra Bank's (NRB) annual Reports, and other available literature. The result shows that the center numbers (numbers of microfinance user group) change ratio was reduced from 17.11% to 1.30%, the total group numbers were 13% to 2.88%, the borrower 7.51% to (-9.66%), staff progress 9.75% to (-3.48%), loan outstanding 41.18% to (-5.06), profit 150.53% to (-7238), active loan 40.26 to (-7.94), and saving 22.87 to 3.91 between 2020/2021 to 2022/2023. Similarly, the Overdue member change ratio increased upto 53.66%, the passive loan from 79.47% to 104.3%, and the NPL increased continuously from 2.56% to 5.52%. So, all microfinance institutions are in a critical situation in Nepal. However, microfinance is an important concept to reduce poverty and unemployment. Further, it enhances easy access to financial institutions in rural where large banking institutions are merely available. However, microfinance in Nepal is facing critical challenges as many fraud cases are emerging. The policy implication is crucial as policymakers should formulate both long-term and short-term policies and implement those policies immediately in microfinance to revive the critical current situation.

Mie lethek merupakan kuliner khas dari Bantul dan melekat pada identitas Kelurahan Caturharjo, Bantul. Namun, potensi mie lethek tersebut belum berdampak secara optimal terhadap pendapatan pelaku usaha maupun perekonomian kelurahan secara luas. Analisis situasi menunjukkan salah satu aspek yang menjadi masalah yaitu kelembagaan, dimana pedagang masih berjalan sendiri-sendiri. Belum ada kelompok usaha mie lethek, sehingga perkembangan belum optimal. Untuk itu tim pengabdian memberikan solusi dengan melakukan sosialisasi edukasi manfaat paguyuban serta pembentukan paguyuban. Metoda yang digunakan adalah pendidikan masyarakat berbentuk ceramah dan pembentukan paguyuban. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pada tanggal 30 Juni 2024 dan 12 Juli 2024. Peserta pengabdian merupakan pelaku usaha mie lethek, pelaku usaha lain yang mendukung dan didampingi oleh lurah, perangkat kalurahan, dan para kepala padukuhan Caturharjo. Respon dari mitra menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan, pemahaman. Salah satu indikatornya ditunjukkan dengan dibentuknya Paguyuban Pedagang Mie Lethek dengan nama Paguyuban “ Catur Wastro Boga” yang telah mendapatan Surat Keputusan dari Kelurahan.

Meta-analysis of the diagnostic value of functional magnetic resonance imaging for distinguishing unresponsive wakefulness syndrome/vegetative state and minimally conscious state
Authors: Zheng Helin , Tian Lu , Cai Jinhua 
Published: September 2024

ObjectiveUnresponsive wakefulness syndrome/vegetative state (UWS/VS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) are considered different clinical entities, but their differential diagnosis remains challenging. As a potential clinical tool, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) could detect residual awareness without the need for the patients’ actual motor responses. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of fMRI for distinguishing between UWS/VS and MCS through a meta-analysis of the existing studies.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive search (from the database creation date to November. 2023) for relevant English articles on fMRI for the differential diagnosis of UWS/VS and MCS. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (LR+), negative likelihood ratio (LR−), summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve, and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated to assess the diagnostic value of fMRI in distinguishing between UWS/VS and MCS. The statistical I2 test was used to assess heterogeneity, and the source of heterogeneity was investigated by performing a meta-regression analysis. Publication bias was assessed using the Deeks funnel plot asymmetry test.ResultsTen studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.71 (95% CI 0.62–0.79) and 0.71 (95% CI 0.54–0.84), respectively. The fMRI for the differential diagnosis of UWS/VS and MCS has a moderate positive likelihood ratio (2.5) and a relatively low negative likelihood ratio (0.40). Additionally, SROC curves showed that the AUC was 0.76 (95% CI 0.72–0.80).ConclusionFunctional magnetic resonance imaging has a good performance in the differential diagnosis of UWS/VS and MCS, and may provide a potential tool for evaluating the prognosis and guiding the rehabilitation therapy in patients with disorders of consciousness.

BackgroundThe study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of the recently approved S1PR modulator etrasimod in adults with ulcerative colitis during the induction phase through meta-analysis.MethodsA systemic search was performed for randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of the S1PR modulator etrasimod using electronic databases PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Clinical Trials, and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. Three studies with 943 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in this analysis. The study’s primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved clinical remission at week 12. Key secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients with clinical response, endoscopic improvement, and histologic remission. The incidence of adverse effects (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), and AE-related treatment discontinuation were statistically analyzed to determine the safety of etrasimod.ResultsThis study revealed that etrasimod is superior to placebo at the primary endpoint clinical remission (OR = 3.09, 95% CI: 2.04–4.69), as well as at the secondary endpoints clinical response (OR = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.91–3.43), endoscopic improvement (OR = 2.15, 95% CI: 1.51–3.05), and histologic remission (OR = 3.39, 95% CI: 2.03–5.68). The proportion of patients with TEAE (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.01–1.78) and SAE (OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.41–1.43) was similar between the etrasimod and placebo groups. Patients receiving etrasimod had slightly higher odds of experiencing headache (OR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.01–4.23), and nausea (OR = 1.84, 95% CI: 0.72–4.72). The incidences of upper respiratory tract infection (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.27–2.32), nasopharyngitis (OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.15–1.07), and urinary tract infection (OR = 1.82, 95% CI: 0.59–5.60) were generally lower in the etrasimod groups and no treatment-related serious infections were reported.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that etrasimod is effective in treating moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis with a favorable benefit-risk profile at week 12. Etrasimod shows promise as a potential first-line oral therapy for individuals suffering from this disease. Additional RCTs with larger sample sizes and longer observation periods are needed to confirm the sustained efficacy of etrasimod beyond the initial phase.

BackgroundThis study delves into the crucial domain of sperm segmentation, a pivotal component of male infertility diagnosis. It explores the efficacy of diverse architectural configurations coupled with various encoders, leveraging frames from the VISEM dataset for evaluation.MethodsThe pursuit of automated sperm segmentation led to the examination of multiple deep learning architectures, each paired with distinct encoders. Extensive experimentation was conducted on the VISEM dataset to assess their performance.ResultsOur study evaluated various deep learning architectures with different encoders for sperm segmentation using the VISEM dataset. While each model configuration exhibited distinct strengths and weaknesses, UNet++ with ResNet34 emerged as a top-performing model, demonstrating exceptional accuracy in distinguishing sperm cells from non-sperm cells. However, challenges persist in accurately identifying closely adjacent sperm cells. These findings provide valuable insights for improving automated sperm segmentation in male infertility diagnosis.DiscussionThe study underscores the significance of selecting appropriate model combinations based on specific diagnostic requirements. It also highlights the challenges related to distinguishing closely adjacent sperm cells.ConclusionThis research advances the field of automated sperm segmentation for male infertility diagnosis, showcasing the potential of deep learning techniques. Future work should aim to enhance accuracy in scenarios involving close proximity between sperm cells, ultimately improving clinical sperm analysis.
