This study is about grandparental involvement in their children's learning. Its main objective was to find out how the grandparents are involved in their children's learning. It is a qualitative research based on the narrative design. One grandfather, one grandmother, and two grandchildren were purposively selected for in-depth interviews. I used the general inductive approach for coding, categorising and theme generation. The human resource capital approach and the social demand approach were used for analysing the data and drawing conclusion. The grandparents were found involved in motivating their grandchildren, providing proper guidance to them and counselling them in different conditions. They provided emotional and financial support for transforming the grandchildren to human resource capital. They provided different care and practical help to develop behavioural skills on their grandchildren which can contribute for fulfillment of social demand. The grandchildren, their family, the society and the whole country have to recognise the contribution of grandparents properly and pay proper respect to them.

The impact of the monolingual policy of the past and the lack of practical experience in multilingual education have posed various challenges in addressing multilingualism. Lack of linguistic survey and analysis of overall multilingualism of Nepal, distrust of parents towards mother tongue and love of English and Nepali language, lack of skilled and trained manpower, multilingual students in the same class, lack of standard textbooks, It has been concluded that various aspects such as lack of written form of most of the languages, problems in standard selection of written language, script problems, lack of necessary infrastructure and lack of coordination among the concerned bodies are the challenges for mother tongue education.

आधुनिक नेपाली उपन्यासको व्यवस्थित अध्ययनका निम्ति यसलाई विभिन्न चरणमा विभाजन गरी अध्ययन गरिएको छ ।ती चरण विभाजनहरूमा २०३६ सालपछिका उपन्यासहरूलाई समसामयिक प्रवृत्तिका रूपमा एउटै चरणमा राखेर चर्चागरिएका छन् । यद्यपि उत्तरवर्ती समयका उपन्यासहरूको अध्ययनले पछिल्लो समयका उपन्यासहरूमा परम्पराभन्दाभिन्न उत्तरआधुनिकतावादी प्रवृत्तिहरूको प्रयोग नेपाली उपन्यासमा व्यापक रूपमा हुन थालेको पुष्टि गर्छ । उत्तरआधुनिकतावाद विविध प्रवृत्तिहरूको सामूहिक संज्ञा भएकाले यसको व्यापक घेराभित्र विविध प्रवृत्तिका उपन्यासहरू उल्लेख्यमात्रामा सिर्जना भएका छन् । तिनलाई समसामयिकता जस्तो निश्चित समयकबोधक शब्दले समेट्न सक्दैन । साथैसमसामयिकता कुनै सिद्धान्तनिष्ट प्रवृत्ति पनि होइन । त्यसैले पछिल्लो समयका नेपाली उपन्यासहरूको व्यापक अध्ययन रविश्लेषणका माध्यमबाट यसका विशिष्ट प्रवृत्तिहरुको पहिचान गरी तिनको आरम्भ बिन्दु पहिल्याउनु नेपाली उपन्याससमालोचनाका लागि वाञ्छनीय कार्य हो । यसका लागि प्रस्तुत अनुसन्धानमा उत्तरवर्ती नेपाली उपन्यासहरूमा के–कस्तानवीन प्रवृत्तिहरू देखापरेका छन् र तिनका आधारमा आधुनिक नेपाली उपन्यासलाई के–कसरी चरण विभाजन गर्न सकिन्छभन्ने समस्याका समाधानमा केन्द्रित भएर यो अध्ययन गरिएको छ । यस क्रममा आधुनिक नेपाली उपन्यासको चरणविभाजनका सन्दर्भ एवम् उत्तरवर्ती उपन्यासहरूका सन्दर्भमा गरिएका पूर्वअध्ययनहरू र नवीन प्रवृत्तियुक्त उपन्यासहरूकोपठन गरी तिनको विश्लेषणका आधारमा माथि प्रस्तुत समस्याको समाधान गरिएको छ । यसरी गरिएको अनुसन्धानबाटध्रुवचन्द्र गौतम र धु्रव सापकोटाको “ज्यागा’’ उपन्यासदेखि नेपाली उपन्यासमा पूर्णतः उत्तरआधुनिकतावादी चरण सुरुभएको पुष्टि गर्दछ र त्यसपछि उत्तरआधुनिकतावादी विविध प्रवृत्तियुक्त उपन्यासहरूको लेखन गुणात्मक र परिमाणात्मकदुबै रूपमा यथेष्ट उपन्यासहरू प्रकाशित भएकाले वि. सं. २०५० सालपछि आधुनिक नेपाली उपन्यासमा नयाँ चरणआरम्भ भएको निष्कर्ष निकालिएको छ । {For the systematic study of modern Nepali novels, it has been studied by dividing it into different phases.

Having had multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious identities, Nepali communities have their own distinct and interrelated ideologies across communities from where the students and teachers come to interact in the classrooms. Furthermore, the issue of ideological supremacy has been an obvious factor hindering some communities to rise up to the mainstreaming of equal learning opportunities. This paper recollected teachers’ reflections on their teaching events over time in language classrooms and studied the prevalent Nepali academia where the demarcation between the marginalised and privileged groups of learners is realised. The study showed that marginalisation in the classroom is a fundamental occurrence particularly based on cultural identity and gender ideology. Besides, this paper also explained how the predominant phenomena and ideologies of the educational actors play the significant role over some learners to marginalise them from equal educational opportunities in the classrooms, and how critical pedagogy can be instrumental to overcome the situation and bring all the learners within a single boat of dignified learning.

This study investigated one of the main ethical challenges regarding the legitimate role of media in maintaining professional standards and ethics during the COVID-19 outbreak, with a focus on the case of Moroccan media. It principally deals with the conundrum of fake news spread in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, it is apparent that there seems to be hardly an area left untouched by fake news regarding pandemic propagation. One should know that more attention has been drawn to the vulnerability of democratic societies to fake news and the ethical challenges brought by the pandemic to people across the globe.

In fact, it is apparent that there seems to be hardly an area left untouched by fake news regarding pandemic propagation. One should know that more attention has been drawn to the vulnerability of democratic societies to fake news and the ethical challenges brought by the pandemic to people across the globe.","PeriodicalId":18263,"journal":{"name":"McNair Scholars Journal","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91413181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

प्रस्तुत अध्ययन कवि भूपी शेरचनद्वारा रचित ‘चिसो एष्ट्रे’ गद्य लघु–कविताभित्र प्रयुक्त ध्वनि सौन्दर्यको पहिचान रविश्लेषणमा केन्द्रित छ । एउटै पङ्क्तिको ४५ शब्दमा रचित यस कविताभित्रको त्रिकोणात्मक घटनालाई आनन्दवर्धनकोध्वनि सिद्धान्तका आधारमा केलाउनु नै यस अध्ययनको मूल उद्देश्य रहेको छ । पूर्वीय साहित्य सिद्धान्तमा आधारित भएरयो अध्ययनलाई वाच्यार्थ र व्यङ्ग्यार्थको कोणबाट विश्लेषण गरिएको छ । कवितामा प्रयुक्त भनाइको गाम्भीर्यता र ध्वनिकोसुगठनलाई उक्तिवैचित्यका आधारमा अध्ययनको केन्द्रविन्दु बनाइएको छ । ग्रामीण समाजका निम्नमध्यम वर्गले ठुलोभनिएको सहर काठमाडौँमा आएर जीवन सुधार्ने सपना देख्नु, तिनले अनेकन सङ्घर्ष गरे पनि हन्डर खाइरहनु तथा टुटेकोठुटे लक्ष्य बोकेर घर फर्कनु पर्दाको विसङ्गतिलाई यस अध्ययनमा ध्वनि सौन्दर्यको व्यङ्ग्यार्थ भावका आधारमा केलाइएकोछ । यसमा शब्द सौन्दर्य र अर्थगत आधारलाई विश्लेषण गरिएको छ । यो लेख गुणात्मक अध्ययन विधिमा आधारित छ ।पुस्तकालयीय सन्दर्भ सामग्रीको उपयोगद्वारा सम्पन्न गरिएको यस लेखमा विशेष गरेर ध्वनि सौन्दर्यको पहिचानलाई मूलआधार बनाइएको छ । समग्रतः यस कवितामा बिम्बात्मक भाव, विसङ्गतिबोधको चित्र र सबाल्टर्न वर्गको दीनताभित्रसजिएको ध्वनि सौन्दर्यचेत ध्वनित रहेको पाइएको छ । {The present study focuses on the analysis of the sound beauty used in the prose short poem 'Chiso Ashtre' written by the poet Bhupi Sherchan. The main objective of this study is to examine the triangular phenomenon in this poem composed in 45 words of the same line on the basis of Anandavardhanako dhwani principle. Based on Eastern literary theory, the study is analyzed from the angle of semantics and satire. The seriousness of the utterances used in the poems and the composition of the sounds have been made the focal point of the study on the basis of idioms. The study examines the anomalies of the lower middle class of rural society dreaming of a better life in Kathmandu, eating hunder despite many struggles and returning home with broken goals based on the irony of sound beauty. It analyzes the word beauty and semantic basis. This article is based on a qualitative study method. This article, conducted using library reference materials, focuses on the identification of sound beauty in particular. Overall, this poem is found to have an aesthetic sense, a picture of a sense of anomaly, and an aesthetic sound embedded in the humility of the subaltern class.}

Achyranthes aspera L. (Amaranthaceae) has long been used as antimicrobial, larvicidal, antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. The phytochemical screening of the methanolic extract of leaves and stems of Achyranthes aspera displayed the presence of almost all important phytochemical parameters. In the quantitative analysis of the plant, total phenolic content of methanolic and ethyl acetate extract of Achyranthes aspera plant was observed to be 362.74 ± 10.13 mg/g and 293.96 ± 11.77 mg/g GAE respectively. Total flavonoid in the methanolic and ethyl acetate extract of Achyranthes aspera was found to have 96.33 ± 7.67 mg/gm and 60.29 ± 5.98 mg/g QE. The methanolic extract of the plant extract of Achyranthes aspera exhibited high antioxidant activity among the plant extract (IC50 61.396 μg/ml). LC50 value of methanolic and ethyl acetate extract of the plant was identified to be 56.23 and 1158.77 μg/ml towards brine shrimp larvae respectively. The methanolic extract of Achyranthes aspera only active for Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.

Marriage is an institution of the society which leads to the establishment of family. The Rana-Tharus have their own pattern, culture, rituals, norms, and values regarding marriage. The main aim of the study was to analyse the changing patterns in the Rana-Tharu marriage system. The study employed the situational analysis design of the qualitative research. Semi-structured interview and observation were used as the tools for collecting the data. This study employed the situational analysis design of the qualitative research. Semi-structured interview and observation were used as the tools for collecting the data. For conducting this research, ten informants from Rana Tharu of Shukhalaphanta Municipality-11, Kalwapur villages, Kanchanpur were selected. Thematic analysis was used for the analysis of the data. From the analysed data, it was found that the cultures, rituals, norms that are practised in Rana-Tharu traditional marriage are changed in the present context of marriage. Only those rituals, norms are followed which reflect their cultural identity and some rituals are practised in modified forms. Some of the rituals which seem not so important and are highly costly and time consuming in present context have been abandoned.

Developing proofs is a very important task of undergraduate mathematics students. However, proving theorems in real analysis is a challenging task for many undergraduate students. In this context, this research was conducted to explore difficulties experienced by undergraduate students in proving theorems of real analysis. Narrative research design under the interpretive research paradigm was used for the study. Three students (higher achiever, average achiever, and below-average achiever) were selected purposively from the sixth semester of B.Ed. programme of the central campus of Far West University. Radical constructivism was selected as the theoretical basis of the study. Interview guideline was prepared as a research tool and interviews of participants were taken based on the guideline. For the analysis and interpretation, interview data were transcribed, coded and then themes were generated. Four themes were constructed that are inability to link statements logically, lack of skill of applying definitions/theorems, lack of skill of selecting an appropriate path of proving, and inability to grasp language/symbols and lengthy proof. The conclusion is that students can have the above types of difficulties in understanding/constructing proof of theorems but the type and extents of the difficulty experienced by learners depend upon the context and ability of learners. This study indicates that beliefs and practices guided by modernism is one of the reasons behind the difficulties in proof construction. The findings of this study would help teachers to select the appropriate pedagogical approach of teaching proofs and students to understand/construct proofs of Real Analysis.
