प्रस्तुत लेखमा आख्यानकार विश्वेश्वरप्रसाद कोइरालाको मधेसतिर कथामा प्रयुक्त पात्रहरूको सीमान्तीयताको प्रतिनिधित्वका आधारमा अध्ययन विश्लेषण गरिएको छ । सीमान्तीय भनेका निर्धा, निमुखा, ओझेलमा पारिएका, हेपिएका, दबाइएका शोषित, पीडित, दलित अधीनस्थ, पाखा पारिएका, आवाजविहीन तथा इतिहासविहीन व्यक्ति, समुदाय, समाज, जाति, क्षेत्र आदि हुन् । पात्रहरूको प्रतिनिधित्वलाई भौतिक प्रतिनिधित्व र भाषागत लेखनका आधारमा गराइने प्रतिनिधित्व गरी दुई आधारमा छुट्टाएर भौतिक प्रतिनिधित्वलाई पनि पात्रगत प्रतिनिधित्व, परिवेशगत प्रतिनिधित्व र विचारधारात्मक प्रतिनिधित्व गरी विभिन्न उपशीर्षकहरूमा छुट्टाई अध्ययन गरिएको छ । प्रमुख, सहायक र गौण सबै पात्र सीमान्तीय भएकाले कथामा सीमान्तीयताको भरपुर प्रतिनिधित्व भएको छ । सामाजिक संरचनाले सीमान्तीय बनेकी विधवामा पुनर्विवाह गरेर नयाँ जीवनको सुरुवात गर्ने इच्छा भएर पनि हिन्दू धार्मिक र पितृसत्तात्मक विचारधाराले बसेकै ठाउँमा सहजतापूर्वक पुनर्विवाह हुने अवस्था नभएपछि घर मात्र होइन गाउँ नै छोडेर हिँड्न बाध्य भएकी छ । नेपाली सामाजिक संरचनाअनुरुप पुरुषले नै आयआर्जनको उत्तरदायित्व बहन गर्नुपर्ने बाध्यताअनुसार बूढो, गोरे, भोटे, धने जस्ता पात्रहरू पैसा कमाउन र पेटभरि खान पाउने आशामा आफ्नो जन्मथलो छोडेर मधेसतिर जान बाध्य भएकाले उनीहरू पनि सीमान्तीय पात्र हुन् । कृतिको अर्थापनका लागि सघन पाठविश्लेषण विधिअनुसार सन्दर्भपरक अध्ययन विश्लेषण गरी स्थापित सिद्धान्तका आधारमा परिणाम निकालिएकाले यो अध्ययन गुणात्मक प्रकृतिको छ। प्रस्तुत कथामा भाषाका माध्यमबाट पनि सीमान्तीयताको प्रतिनिधित्व गराइएको छ । समग्रमा भन्नुपर्दा मधेसतिर कथा सीमान्तीयताको पात्रगत, परिवेशत, विचारधारात्मक तथा भाषागत सबै दृष्टिले प्रतिनिधित्व भएको कथा हो भन्ने निष्कर्ष प्राप्त भएको छ ।

People with cancer usually experience various distressing symptoms while receiving chemotherapy. Early identification of distressing symptoms of patients receiving treatment is a crucial step toward providing quality nursing care for patients. This study aimed to assess the frequency, severity and distressing symptoms and its predictors among cancer patients who are receiving chemotherapy. An Analytical cross-sectional study was done among 233 people receiving cancer chemotherapy in a Cancer Hospital. Convenience sampling method was adopted to select sample and data was collected by in-person interview. Out of 233 respondents, less than half(42.6%) belonged to the 40-59 years age group and male (53.6%). The common physical symptoms were pain (70%), lack of energy (67.8%), nausea (58.8%) and psychological symptoms were feeling sad (43.8%), worrying (43.8%) and difficulty sleeping (18.5%). The most severe symptoms experienced by respondents were pain, dry mouth, lack of energy and shortness of breath. Patient’s age (β=0.321, p <0.001), education ( β= 0.094, p <0.001). Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (EOCG) ( β=0.340, p <0.001), number of chemotherapy cycle ( β=0.147, p 0.004) were found to be predictors for the physical symptoms. Likewise, for the global distress index, these variables explained 88.9% of this variance (p<0.001, r 2 =0.889). Education (β=0.078,p <0.001), duration of illness (β=0.081, p =0.032) , age (β=0.0.211, p <0.001), ECOG(β=0.0264, p <0.001) were found to be predictors for the global distress index.

Chaitra Purne Jatra, takes place in the month of Chaitra (March/April)when the Tamang people visit Namobuddha, Boudha and Swayambhu and performspecial rituals for the salvation of the departed soul. Against this backdrop,the paper explores examines and analyse the performative aspects of Chaitra PurneJatra taking Rabindra Tamang’s Timal Jatra (2054) as a primary text. Moreover, it concentrates on the dynamics of Tamang ritual. Performing specific cultural ritesin memory of their family members is a ritual process of the Tamang community. They begin the religious rites from Namobuddha and conclude in Swayambhu lighting the special light made up of astu powder, ghee and thread. At the end, people sing, dance and feast, which is reminiscent of the modern performances ontheatre that only highlight the subtle performative qualities of the jatra. To assess and scrutinize the performativity of the jatra, I have employed Richard Schechnerand Victor Turner’s concepts of ritual and performance.
chitra Purne Jatra,在chitra月(3月/ 4月)举行,当塔芒人拜访纳摩佛,佛和斯瓦扬布,并为拯救死去的灵魂举行特殊的仪式。在此背景下,本文以Rabindra Tamang的《Timal Jatra》(2054)为主要文本,探讨并分析了Chaitra PurneJatra的表演方面。此外,它还集中讨论了塔芒仪式的动态。表演特定的文化仪式来纪念他们的家庭成员是塔芒社区的一个仪式过程。他们从纳摩佛开始宗教仪式,最后在斯瓦扬布点燃由阿斯陀粉、酥油和线组成的特殊灯时结束。最后,人们唱歌、跳舞、盛宴,这让人想起现代剧院的表演,只突出了贾特拉微妙的表演品质。为了评估和审视jatra的表演,我采用了Richard Schechnerand Victor Turner关于仪式和表演的概念。

This paper uses a continued fraction to explain various approaches to solving Diophantine equations. It first examines the fundamental characteristics of continued fractions, such as convergent and approximations to real numbers. Using continued fractions, we can solve the Pell's equation. Certain theorems have also been discussed for how to expand quadratic irrational integers into periodic continued fractions. Finally, the relationship between convergent and best approximations and use of continuous fraction in calendar construction has-been investigated. The analytical theory of continued fractions is a significant generalization of continued fractions and represents a large field for current and future research.

Sexual harassment has gained global attention and has been recognized as a critical public health concern with significant negative impacts on victims ‘physical and mental health. This study aimed to find out the awareness of sexual harassment among secondary school students in Nawalparasi District, Nepal. The descriptive cross-sectional research design was used to find out the awareness of sexual harassment among secondary-level students in Devchuli Municipality, Nawalparasi. Students studying in grades eight, nine, and ten were identified from two conveniently selected schools out of the 12 private schools in the study area. In total, 150 students took part in the study, and every one of them completed the questionnaire in its entirety. Data entry and analysis were done in Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20. The obtained data we reanalyzed using descriptive statistical methods like frequency, percentage, mean, and chi-square to ascertain the relationship between the level of awareness of sexual harassment and the selected socio-demographic characteristics. The findings showed that, among 150 respondents, most (82.0%) had a good level of awareness regarding sexual harassment. According to respondents ‘suggestions for preventing sexual harassment (SH) can be stopped by enacting strict rules, regulations, and policies against those who engage in the practice (85.3%), running awareness campaigns about the issue (83.3%), and offering training on how to handle sexual harassment (75.3%).There was no statistically significant relationship between the level of awareness of sexual harassment and the selected socio-demographic variables. It can be recommended that schools conduct an ongoing sensitization program or awareness campaign to teach students about sexual harassment periodically.

The study attempts to explore the factors of work-life balance (WLB)amid the pandemic and the effects of these derived factors on the overall perception of WLB of bank employees. The quantitative research method was harnessed to explore the objectives. Employees of commercial banks serving in the Morang district, one of the 77 administrative units of Nepal, during the pandemic were the population of the study. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires. Snowball and purposive sampling methods were implied to get the sample of 193 bank employees. The study extracted four factors; personal demand, family demand, work demand, and social demand dimensions of WLB duringCovid-19. And personal demand factor of WLB stood as the most significant out of the other two significant factors namely family and work demand factors to influence the overall perception of WLB amidst the pandemic. Employees’ self-care and self-development needs are to be incorporated while formulating policies of the organization and more specifically WLB during the traumatic conditions.

As rupture in the prevailing practices, modernity adopts writing off as one of its diverse ways of bringing the ethos of contemporary time to match up with the aspirations of people. The inner core of the society develops erroneous aspects in its structural foundations over a course of time, whereby promoting social inequalities. Often, the proponents of such system fail to see through the possible implications of such fault line during the inceptions. The fissures in system set onto trouble the people, thereby obstructing the smooth functioning of the society. In such context, the society calls for the intervention of the larger agency, capable of enforcing and sustaining change. The present study examines and analyse slavery as the system that has undergone such change in the history of Nepal. I have taken Chandra Shumsher’s 1924 speech on abolition of slavery and Madan Mani Dixit’s Madhavi (1983) as the primary source of data to explore examine and analyse slavery from the intersection of history and literature in that both Shumsher and Dixit reflection the nature and course of slavery as such. Using the critical perspective of new historicism, the study concludes that modernity employs ‘writing off’ as one of the chief strategies to upgrade the polity with the ethos of contemporaneity.

यस लेखमा जगदीश शमशेर राणाद्वारा रचित नरसिंह अवतार महाकाव्यको प्रयोगवादी अवधारणाका आधारमा अध्ययन तथा विश्लेषण गरिएको छ । प्रयोगवाद आफैंमा कुनै वाद होइन, साहित्यमा गरिने नयाँ–नयाँ प्रयोगलाई प्रयोगवादी भन्ने चलन छ । नेपाली कवितामा प्रयोगवाद भन्नाले वि.सं. २०१७ सालको रूपरेखा पत्रिकामा प्रकाशित मोहन कोइरालाको घाइतेयुग कविताबाट सुरु भएको नयाँ कविता धारालाई बुझिन्छ । यस धाराका कवितामा अमूर्त लेखनशैली, सम्प्रेषणहीनता, संरचनागत शिथिलता, नयाँ नयाँ बिम्ब, प्रतीक र मिथकको प्रयोग, विसङ्गतिको प्रस्तुति र अस्तित्ववादी चेत जस्ता कुरा मुख्य विशेषताका रूपमा रहेका छन् । यिनै कुरालाई आधार बनाई यसमा नरसिंह अवतारको विषयवस्तु, कथानक, चरित्र, परिवेश, उद्देश्य, भाषाशैली आदि तत्वहरूको अध्ययन तथा विश्लेषण गरिएको छ । यस अध्ययनबाट प्रस्तुत महाकाव्य विषयवस्तुको छनोटमा, कथानक निर्माणमा, पात्रविधानमा, परिवेश निर्माणमा, उद्देश्यका साथै भाषाशैली आदिको प्रयोगमा परम्परित महाकाव्यक संरचना भन्दा भिन्न र नयाँढाँचाको प्रयोगशील बन्न पुगेको प्रस्ट भएको छ ।

This is the first study investigating the nature of trilingual parallel language activation in Nepal-English-Sanskrit triad. Twenty-four participants have been divided into groups of 8 based on the dominance of the three language use to understand the nature of activation in three groups. Stimuli consisted of audio-visual bimodal in nature. An emerging novel technology Mouse Tracker that can study continuous unfolding of cognitive processing has been used to design the experiment and collect the software generated data. The data has been analyzed using SPSS and visualized using R. Results which showed when three languages are activated simultaneously, the phonological similarity plays a facilitating role. The results are explained in line with BLINCS (Bilingual Language Interaction Network for Comprehension of Speech) model.
