Globalization, Citizenship and Subjectivity: An analysis of the changes in the last five generations in my family
Authors: Gyawali Sindhu 
Published: January 2024

Human Subjectivities are shaped by one’s social position and practices in the social field. Subjectivities may be durable, but they are changeable. The subjectivities one carries may differ from generation to generation. What I perceive about myself is different from what my parents perceived and what my grandparents perceived and how they developed their subjectivities. We have to see these human subjectivities across time and space. This paper explores the interplay of local, national and global social fields in forming subjectivity and in analyzing the changes in the last five generations in my family. I began my study by looking at the genealogy of Gyawali family. I approached the emergence of such changes through the theoretical lens of Bourdieu, Foucault, and Anderson. As the research problem I wanted to investigate was of a historical nature, the methods that I could choose were already conditioned by that. I picked up oral history research, and biographical interviews as two basic research methods. The changes in the way of life in my family due to such fields can be seen directly in the economy, use of technology, way of life and ultimately in the culture. When we entered into the globalization process the traditional norms and values of the family have transformed with the global way of life. We are becoming more self-reliant and empowered but at the same time, it has also created mental anxiety and stress. New subjectivities and identities have emerged in the last five generations in my family.

Authors: Mahat Dipak , Neupane Dasarath , Karki Tej Bahadur 
Published: January 2024

The establishment of the Nepal Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (NJMR) aimed to facilitate the exchange of knowledge among global scholars. Consequently, a thorough examination of NJMR's trajectory toward its objectives became essential. This investigation, conducted through systematic review methods, durations five years and encompasses 164 articles, including one special issue. Throughout this period, the journal exhibited growing interest across diverse areas of study, although a notable observation was the limited citations in many articles.
The majority of contributions came from scholars in Nepal and India, covering a wide range of subjects. Notably, Tribhuvan University emerged as a leading contributor, particularly in the areas of software development and cultural practices, which received more citations. The predominant focus of the journal was on quantitative research; however, there is a recognized need to acknowledge and emphasize the value of qualitative findings.
To enhance its academic standing, the Nepal Journal of Multidisciplinary Research [NJMR] could benefit from increased global awareness, engagement, and a more balanced approach to research methods. Gaining wider acceptance may involve fostering international collaboration and ensuring a more comprehensive representation of qualitative research within its publications. By addressing these aspects, the journal has the potential to elevate its academic impact and contribute more substantially to the global scholarly community.
Exploring the Nexus of Colonialism, Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Action in Amitav Ghosh’s The Living Mountain: A Fable of Our Times
Authors: Khanal Babu Ram , Gupta Preeti Pankaj 
Published: January 2024

This paper in Amitav Ghosh's The Living Mountain: A Fable of Our Times (2022) depicts the complex nexus between climate action, colonialism, and indigenous knowledge. Set in a remote Himalayan valley, the story follows the warring tribes who live around a sacred mountain, later forced to become the servants of the 'Anthropoi', the foreigners who have come there to climb and mine the mountain. The outsiders’ interests in exploring the mountain and its natural resources have threatened the lives of the natives. A postcolonial eco-critical approach is adopted to investigate how Ghosh portrays the relationship between climate change and colonialism through illustrations of invaders’ dismissal of the indigenous knowledge on environmental issues, de-sacralisation of the Sacred Mountain, etc. Similarly, the study explores the mind of the writer who seems to argue that climate change is a direct consequence of colonialism, which has led to a worldview that promotes nature as something to be conquered and exploited. Similarly, this study emphasizes the importance of indigenous knowledge for climate action, suggesting that it is essential for developing sustainable solutions to the climate crisis.
Comprehensive Analysis of Land Use and Land Cover Shifts from A Redd Perspective: A Case Study of Banepa Municipality, Nepal
Authors: Ghimire Sujan , Poudel Hemanta , Upadhyaya Sharad , Adhikari Binod Kumar 
Published: January 2024

This paper examines the dynamic changes in land use and cover in Banepa Municipality over three decades, from 1991 to 2021, using the remote sensing method within the REDD perspective. It uncovers an 11% surge in built-up areas and a 5% decline in forest cover, with minimal agricultural fluctuations (1%) and a substantial 7% decrease in barren land. Urgent concerns about ecological balance prompt a call for immediate REDD implementation.
To address these issues, the study advocates for employing monitoring methods, including remote sensing, to evaluate forest and land resources. This data can inform comprehensive studies on the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, alongside feasibility and sectorial analyses, including cost-benefit assessments for effective land-use planning. The conclusion stresses the imperative need for planned urban development in Banepa to preserve open spaces, forests, and agriculture. This study provides vital insights into the intricate relationship between land-use changes and climate impact, emphasizing the urgency of sustainable development actions.

Abstrak

Kabupaten Indramayu mengalami kenaikan stunting yang drastis pada masa Pandemi Covid-19. Pola komunikasi linear dalam penanganan stunting dan modal sosial pada masa Pandemi Covid-19 menjadi salah satu faktor penyebab yang perlu dipahami, namun topik penelitian tersebut belum tersedia. Penelitian ini bermaksud melakukan studi kualitatif untuk mengeksplorasi model komunikasi penanganan stunting dan modal sosial pada masa kedaruratan kesehatan masyarakat Pandemi Covid-19 di Kabupaten Indramayu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan modal sosial yang tersedia belum optimal berperan dalam penurunan stunting. Hal itu dipengaruhi oleh model komunikasi linear dan terbatasnya kesempatan partisipasi dalam penguatan dan pemanfaatan modal sosial. Kelemahan model komunikasi nampak pada terjadinya miskomunikasi dan miskoordinasi, baik antar pemerintah maupun dari kader ke orang tua atau pengasuh balita stunting, belum optimalnya pemanfaatan data aplikasi GESIT. Karena itu, perlu dikembangkan perubahan strategi intervensi terintegrasi mulai dari aspek legal, model serta model dan teknik komunikasi. Model komunikasi perlu dikembangkan yang memfasilitasi pola komunikasi dua arah, adanya umpan balik dari keluarga stunting, adanya konvergensi komunikasi dengan para pemangku kepentingan, dan pelatihan teknik komunikasi terhadap berbagai jenis kader yang terlibat. Aplikasi GESIT perlu diptimalkan untuk penguatan modal sosial bridging dengan mengkomunikasikan dan memberi akses dua arah kepada para pihak yang terlibat untuk melajutkan dan memperluas program orang tua asuh, dengan tidak hanya membatasi program kepada komunitas ASN / aparat pemerintah dan membina kepercayaan dengan transparansi pelaporan melalui media digital. Penelitian selanjutnya perlu dilakukan setelah ada pengembangan dan penerapan model komunikasi dua arah dengan adanya umpan balik dan mempertimbangkan noise dalam penanganan stunting dan dengan melakukan komparasi hasilnya terhadap model komunikasi liner.

“God's Mighty Arm Makes the French Victorious”
Authors: Waligore Joseph 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The deists have commonly been characterized as irreligious thinkers who believed in a distant and inactive deity. This characterization of deism is undermined by the large number of French Revolutionary deists who believed that God worked miracles. Some French Revolutionary deists claimed that God continually led the French armies to victory, while others said that God worked a single miracle. After eliminating the French Revolutionaries who were following the party line when Maximilien Robespierre was in power, there were 72 French Revolutionary deists who believed God worked miracles to help the French Revolution. The French Revolutionary deists shared a common theology with the earlier deists, and many earlier deists also believed that God worked miracles. The Enlightenment deists were much more religious than commonly thought.
Sixteen “Creeds” at the Fin de Siècle
Authors: Bruno-Jofré Rosa , Jover Gonzalo 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article examines the pedagogic creeds published in New York and Chicago during 1896 and 1897 in The School Journal. The configuration of ideas framing the creeds reveals the dynamics of modernities and transatlantic crossings, mainly the ideas of Georg W. F. Hegel, Herbert Spencer, Friedrich Froebel, Johann Friedrich Herbart, and Wilhelm Wundt and their contextual adaptation. The creeds are analyzed at the interplay of evolutionism and its versions, including Lamarckianism, developments in psychology, the intersection of Protestantism, and the gendered and racial ordering of society. The child study movement and theories of recapitulation also had a presence. The creeds provide a picture of the ideas at the fin de siècle. They were aimed at reform with various agendas that included social reconstruction with a modernist civilizing agenda, segregationism, and residential/boarding schools for Indigenous children. John Dewey's more well-known and influential creed brought its own unique avenues through his embracement of pragmatism.

Improvement of differential diagnosis of lung cancer by use of multiple protein tumor marker combinations
Authors: Trulson Inga , Klawonn Frank , von Pawel Joachim , Holdenrieder Stefan 
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Differential diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in hospitalized patients is crucial for appropriate treatment choice. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relevance of serum tumor markers (STMs) and their combinations for the differentiation of NSCLC and SCLC subtypes. METHODS: Between 2000 and 2003, 10 established STMs were assessed retrospectively in 311 patients with NSCLC, 128 with SCLC prior systemic first-line therapy and 51 controls with benign lung diseases (BLD), by automatized electrochemiluminescence immunoassay technology. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of both individual and multiple STMs with corresponding sensitivities at 90% specificity. Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy (STARD guidelines) were followed. RESULTS: CYFRA 21-1 (cytokeratin-19 fragment), CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) and NSE (neuron specific enolase) were significantly higher in all lung cancers vs BLD, reaching AUCs of 0.81 (95% CI 0.76–0.87), 0.78 (0.73–0.84), and 0.88 (0.84–0.93), respectively. By the three marker combination, the discrimination between benign and all malignant cases was improved resulting in an AUC of 0.93 (95% CI 0.90–0.96). In NSCLC vs. BLD, CYFRA 21-1, CEA and NSE were best discriminative STMs, with AUCs of 0.86 (95% CI 0.81–0.91), 0.80 (0.74–0.85), and 0.85 (0.79–0.91). The three marker combination also improved the AUC: 0.92; 95% CI 0.89–0.96). In SCLC vs. BLD, ProGRP (pro-gastrin-releasing peptide) and NSE were best discriminative STMs, with AUCs of 0.89 (95% CI 0.84–0.94) and 0.96 (0.93–0.98), respectively, and slightly improved AUC of 0.97 (95% CI 0.95–0.99) when in combination. Finally, discrimination between SCLC and NSCLC was possible by ProGRP (AUC 0.86; 95% CI 0.81–0.91), NSE (AUC 0.83; 0.78–0.88) and CYFRA 21-1 (AUC 0.69; 0.64–0.75) and by the combination of the 3 STMs (AUC 0.93; 0.91–0.96), with a sensitivity of 88% at 90% specificity. CONCLUSIONS: The results confirm the power of STM combinations for the differential diagnosis of lung cancer from benign lesions and between histological lung cancer subtypes.
Approaches for Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)/Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) in brain metastases using different radiotherapy modalities (Feasibility study)
Authors: Tawfik Zyad A. , Farid Mohamed El-Azab , El Shahat Khaled M. , Hussein Ahmed A. , Al Etreby Mostafa 
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: SRS and SRT are precise treatments for brain metastases, delivering high doses while minimizing doses to nearby organs. Modern linear accelerators enable the precise delivery of SRS/SRT using different modalities like three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and Rapid Arc (RA). OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare dosimetric differences and evaluate the effectiveness of 3DCRT, IMRT, and Rapid Arc techniques in SRS/SRT for brain metastases. METHODS: 10 patients with brain metastases, 3 patients assigned for SRT, and 7 patients for SRS. For each patient, 3 treatment plans were generated using the Eclipse treatment planning system using different treatment modalities. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were observed among the three techniques in the homogeneity index (HI), maximum D2%, and minimum D98% doses for the target, with a p > 0.05. The RA demonstrated a better conformity index of 1.14±0.25 than both IMRT 1.21±0.26 and 3DCRT 1.37±0.31. 3DCRT and IMRT had lower Gradient Index values compared to RA, suggesting that they achieved a better dose gradient than RA. The mean treatment time decreased by 26.2% and 10.3% for 3DCRT and RA, respectively, compared to IMRT. In organs at risk, 3DCRT had lower maximum doses than IMRT and RA, but some differences were not statistically significant. However, in the brain stem and brain tissues, RA exhibited lower maximum doses compared to IMRT and 3DCRT. Additionally, RA and IMRT had lower V15Gy, V12Gy, and V9Gy values compared to 3DCRT. CONCLUSION: While 3D-CRT delivered lower doses to organs at risk, RA and IMRT provided better conformity and target coverage. RA effectively controlled the maximum dose and irradiated volume of normal brain tissue. Overall, these findings indicate that 3DCRT, RA, and IMRT are suitable for treating brain metastases in SRS/SRT due to their improved dose conformity and target coverage while minimizing dose to healthy tissues.
