Authors: Das Keya Rani , Jahan Mashrat , Barman Linnet Riya , Burman Preetilata 
Published: December 2023

Background: In Bangladesh, spinach (Spinachia oleracea L.) is most frequently known as "Palong shak" or Bengal Spinach. Spinach is one of the most prominent vegetable crops grown around the earth. It is a quick-growing annual plant that only lives for one year. Although spinach can be cultivated at any time throughout the year, Bangladesh's production of spinach on a per-unit basis is very low in comparison to that of other advanced nations.
Objective: This study explores the impacts of area, price, and weather parameter adaptability on the local production of spinach in Bangladesh employing annual data from time series covering 60 years.
Materials and Methods: This investigation seeks to comprehend the linear relationship between spinach production, commercial price, geographic location, and meteorological characteristics in Bangladesh by applying stepwise regression analysis to find the most suitable model of Spinach production. In order to evaluate how well the multiple linear regression model fits the data, several diagnostic charts were constructed using the R programming language. To forecast the Spinach production, an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was applied.
Results: According to the findings of the study, there was a positive correlation between spinach output and total harvest area under spinach cultivation. There is weak positive correlation between production and annual mean temperature and a weak negative correlation exists between production and annual mean rainfall. Also, production is perfectly positively correlated with price. Regression analysis revealed that the variables sales price and annual mean rainfall are the best predictors of spinach output. Every unit increase in the price of spinach is increases an additional 5.98 times the average of spinach being produced. An increase of 1 millimeter in annual mean rainfall (AMR) decreases 0.001 times spinach production while other predictors remain fixed. Also, ARIMA (1, 1, 0) with drift model forecasts for next fifteen years that the Spinach production is expected to increase considerably by 75000 tons.
Conclusion: Finally, the study found that farmers' perspective on spinach cultivation could potentially experience a positive upward shift which is expected to last for the next fifteen years.

Authors: Pant Chet Raj 
Published: December 2023

This study examines the impact of non-performing assets and profitability of commercial banks in Nepal. Out of 27 commercial banks, five joint venture banks have been selected as sample based on descriptive and analytical technique. Secondary data was collected from the annual reports of five selected commercial banks for the period of 2011/12 to 2020/21. Data have been collected and analyzed by using mean, standard deviation, and correlation and regression analysis. The profitability in terms of return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and profitability are selected as dependent variables. Non-performing assets (NPA), capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and total loan to total deposit ratio (TLTD) are taken as independent variables. The finding indicates that NPA has significant impact on the profitability of Nepalese joint venture banks. The result shows that ROE has been found a positive impact on the NPA, CAR and TLTD. Thus, this study concludes that non-performing assets is an important predictor for the profitability of the bank. Therefore, the success of the bank in term of profitability depends on its non-performing assets.

Potebny (“On some symbols in Slavic folk poetry”, “Language and thought”, “On the mythical meaning of some rites and beliefs”, “On the connection of some ideas in language”, “On Fate and creatures related to it”, “On bathing fires and related to their ideas” and others...).A notable phenomenon in the realm of mythology was the work of I. S. Nechuy-Levytskyi “Worldview of the Ukrainian People”. A significant event was the activity of P. Chubynskyiʼs expedition and M. Dragomanovʼs work “Little Russian Tales and Stories”.The scientific understanding of Ukrainian folk mythology belongs to V. Hnatyuk, in whose work the simplicity and accessibility of the presentation of the material is combined with deep scientific knowledge.An important milestone in the formation of Ukrainian mythology is the study of Ivan Franko (“Peopleʼs beliefs in Pidhirya”.
