Abstract:
This article examines Sino-Indian power balancing in Nepal to explore Kathmandu’s policy options for security. Traditionally, both regional giants have sought to co-opt Nepal in a bid to outflank the other in the Himalayan region. India has exercised greater leverage profiting on ethnic and economic connections. Presently, China’s rise has offered Kathmandu a window of opportunity to substitute the Indian foothold in Nepal. China’s strategic leverage has increased due to the up-gradation of Sino-Nepalese political and economic connections. Nepal’s tilt towards Beijing has led New Delhi to seek reassurances from Kathmandu. Sino-Indian overlapping cultural and competing politico-strategic objectives has increased Kathmandu’s volatility to foreign intervention. The interplay of Sino-Indian regional balancing has constrained policy options for its security. Within this context, the article seeks to analyse the following questions: a.) What are Sino-Indian power ambitions and policy objectives in Nepal? b.) How has China’s expansion of influence impacted on Nepal-India relations and Kathmandu’s policy options for security? The theoretical cushion of neo-classical realism, employing qualitative techniques of content analysis has provided a befitting context to study Nepal’s security challenges. The article argues that Kathmandu’s security drive has to tread on a thin rope of power balancing caught in between India and China. Nepal balances between its tightly knit historic ties with India and the new opportunity dawned in building connections with Beijing. Nepal’s approach marks philosophical approach of Kautilya’s Raja Mandala as an expression of expedient move to win security.

Abstract:
Air pollution has been a major problem of 21st century for both developed and developing world. It has a negative impact on various environmental aspects which directly or indirectly affect the quality of human health. Nepal, especially Kathmandu, in the current situation, is observing rapid urbanization and various infrastructure development projects. As a result, these sorts of human activities have been responsible for increasing air pollution in an enormous rate inside Kathmandu Valley. Chronic exposure of deteriorated air increases the chance of Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) like lung disease, heart disease, and cancers. Short term exposures also invite respiratory diseases and allergy. This review is an attempt to summarize the updated knowledge on the threat of air pollution on public health and discuss the sources of air pollutants in Kathmandu. We reviewed the literatures that were published in PMC, MEDLINE, life science journals, and organization official websites and finally came up with the findings and their interpretation that reveal the current scenario in the context of Kathmandu’s air quality status and its impact on human health. The knowledge about the invisible killer’s role in causing acute and chronic diseases may help in finding out the answer of the question regarding its effect and prevention.

Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to compare the average price of fruits in Nepalgunj boarding India and Kathmandu very far from the border of India. This study is based on quantitative research design. Sample design is an on probability convenience sampling method. Unstructur questionnaire were used to collect data. Both descriptive and inferential statistical analytical methods were used to analyze data. The result of the analysis showed that the average price of fruits in the two cities was different and significate the average price of fruits in Nepalganj is higher than the average price of fruits in Kathmandu. The average price of seasonal and off seasonal fruits in Nepalganj and Kathmandu isRs.251.25 andRs.127.5 respectively Variation of the price of fruits in Kathmandu is 140.41and variation price in Nepalganj is 52.71 which shows that variation of price in Kathmandu is more than in Nepalganj because of the unstable demand for fruits in Kathmand the average price of fruits in Kathmandu is less than the average price of fruits in Nepalganj because fruits importers directly import fruits in Kathmandu and after that from Kathmandu fruits­­­­ are distributed all over Nepal which increases transportation cost due to which the average price of fruits in Kathmandu is more than in Nepalganj.

Abstract:
This paper mainly deals with connectivity of Nepal with neighboring countries and beyond. Nepal entered into an agreement with India for a Raxaul – Kathmandu railway line survey last year. After rail connectivity is established with India, Nepal is expected to benefit through transport costs compared to existing road connectivity. Nepal also signed an MoU with India for the development of inland water ways during the last visit by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to India. This is expected to provide Nepal with greater opportunities of better connection with Indian ports to promote trade with her southern neighbor and beyond. Moreover, Nepal and Chinese governments have agreed to work together to construct a rail link between Kerung and Kathmandu. This should allow Indian and Chinese railways to link in Kathmandu although that may yet take some time. Similarly, if Nepal deals tactfully with India and Bangladesh to make the Kathmandu-Kakarvitta-Phulbari-Banglabandha corridor function smoothly, there is a high possibility of establishing China-Nepal-India-Bangladesh (CNIB) Economic Corridor in the future. This paper attempts to explain the critical geo-political issues and challenges in connectivity facing Nepal. This paper is based on secondary data and both the qualitative and quantitative methods have been adopted for analysis. The key point of arguments presented by the paper is that all South Asian countries need to come up with “Connectivity Diplomacy”, preferably on the Track 1.5 level.

Abstract:
Purpose Women’s economic empowerment through entrepreneurship is increasingly being recognised as significant to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, women entrepreneurship in developing countries is characterised by an overrepresentation in the informal economy and exposure to high levels of gender disparities. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether formalisation of women’s entrepreneurial activities in the informal economy supports SDGs through ensuring empowerment and equality. Design/methodology/approach The research adopts a qualitative research design to explore the empowerment outcomes of the formalisation of women’s entrepreneurial activities in the informal economy of Kathmandu, Nepal. Data were collected through interviews with 30 women entrepreneurs engaged in a mix of formal and informal entrepreneurial activities. Findings By using Mayoux’s (1998) framework of empowerment at the individual, household and community level, the findings show the variation in empowerment outcomes as a result of women’s diverse motivations for engaging in entrepreneurship. Whilst informal entrepreneurial activities improve women’s confidence and life aspirations, they have limited potential in lifting women out of poverty and enable them to significantly challenge gender relations in the society. Formalization does further empower women at the household and community level but this is primarily the case of younger and more educated women. Originality/value The research contributes to the debates on entrepreneurship as “emancipation” and more specifically, on whether formalization contributes to the SDGs by furthering gender equality and empowerment. Formalization policies need to acknowledge the heterogeneity of women entrepreneurs.

Abstract:
Purpose: This paper investigates the continuance adoption of online stock trading among investors in Kathmandu Valley. Methodology: Using self-administered questionnaires, this paper applied a purposive sampling technique to collect data from 271 stock investors in the Kathmandu Valley. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to estimate proposed model. Findings and Conclusions: This paper found that satisfaction, habit, and disconfirmation have significant positive influence on the adoption of online stock trading among investors in the Kathmandu Valley. However, perceived usefulness, subjective norms, and continuance intention do not appear to have any significant influence on the adoption of online stock trading among investors in the Kathmandu Valley. The result implies that 70% of variance of continuance behavior is explained by the existing model. Implications: This paper has theoretical and managerial implications. Theoretically, this paper studies continuance adoption of online stock trading in Nepali context and found investors in Nepal continue adopt online stock trading if they perceive it to be easy, satisfying, useful, and habitual investors continue adopting online stock trading. Managerially, this paper could provide empirical evidence to design promotional strategies of online stock trading for SEBON (Securities Board of Nepal) to increase awareness level among online stock investors.

ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease is the commonest cause of death globally and is the major contributor to the burdenof premature mortality and morbidity. Coronary artery disease ( CAD) is greatest killer of mankind. Coronaryartery disease in western industrialized countries show a declining trend. However developing countrieshave shown an alarming increase. The identification of major risk factors and effective control of themthrough population based strategies of prevention were mainly responsible for this decline.A few cases ofacute myocardial infarction were seen in Kathmandu ,Nepal in 1950 and in the sixties the incidence startedrising rapidly. In a study between 1960-1968 a total of 150 cases were reported with myocardial infarctionin Kathmandu , Nepal. Although national datas for incidence and prevalence on CAD in Nepal is notavailable, hospital based datas on admission pattern in different hospitals of Kathmandu, capital city ofNepal show 40 fold increase in incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in last 30 years. Prevalenceof coronary artery disease (CAD) estimated from these figures of AMI cases indicate that 5 % of adultpopulation in Kathmandu suffer from CAD. Hence, Coronary artery disease is emerging as epidemic in Kathmandu, Nepal.Key Words: Coronary artery disease (CAD), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), Epidemic.

Abstract:
Yellow-bellied weasel (Mustela kathiah) is one of the least known small carnivores of Nepal. Although it is assumed to distribute within the mid-hills region, its sightings are very few in Nepal. We updated its distribution from Kathmandu Valley based on literature review and opportunistic sightings. Now, the yellow-bellied weasel is known from three locations in the Kathmandu Valley (Phulchowki, Budhanilkantha, and Dallu-Pharping) between 1300 and 2710 meters above sea level (m asl). Only one individual was sighted in each observation. The observation from Phulchowki (2710 m asl) represents the highest elevation record for the Kathmandu Valley and the second highest for Nepal. The weasels were observed in the forest, bushes, and agricultural areas near small rivers and human settlements.

Abstract:
The present study used and analyzed rainfall data from 18 meteorological stations from 1971 to 2013 to examine the spatial and temporal variability of seasonal and annual rainfall based on rain gauge measurements. The monthly to annual rainfall analysis was carried out for each site of Kathmandu Valley. Rainfall amounts in Kathmandu Valley vary considerably in space and time. The minimum mean monthly rainfall is observed in November which is 6.5 mm and maximums of 447.8 mm in July. Monsoon is the main contributor of the rainfall which is 80% followed by pre-monsoon with 13.6%, post-monsoon with 3.6% and winter with 2.8%. Spatial interpolation was used to explore spatial variability of seasonal and annual rainfall over Kathmandu Valley. There is large spatial variability of monsoon rainfall; generally, the upper parts of the Kathmandu Valley received the heavy monsoon rainfall than the lower parts of the Valley floor. The rainfall of Kathmandu has marked decreasing in recent a couple of decades. Annual rainfall has decreased by 0.96 mm/year observed in Kathmandu Valley.

The status and distribution of birds in Nepal is being updated as the number of bird species and records increase. We present a distributional update of ashy minivet Pericrocotus divaricatus, a rare winter visitor to Nepal. We made an opportunistic sighting of the species on 25 February 2022 during a bird survey along the Hanumante River, Bhaktapur, Nepal. AM had been previously recorded in Nepal at Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve and at Sauraha, Chitwan District, but not in the Kathmandu Valley. Thus, our record of this species in Bhaktapur (Kathmandu Valley) is a new distributional record of the species in Nepal. Rapid change in land use is posing threats to bird habitats; therefore, we recommend maintaining a continuous green corridor along the Hanumante River.

Abstract:
Nepal is a multi-linguistic nation. Maithili is one of the major languages of Nepal. This is spoken as a mother-tongue in eastern Tarai of Nepal. Historically speaking, the development of Maithili language took place in medieval period, where the two dynasties i.e. the Karnatas of Mithila and the Senas of Makawanpur had played major roles. Maithili expanded towards Kathmandu valley also. There are many manuscripts written in Maithili preserved in National Archive, Kathmandu. Even now, in the devotional songs sang by the aged persons in Kathmandu valley, there are many Maithili words found. Describing the importance of Maithili language in medieval period, this article may be a historical background for the people engaged in policy making and the language movement.

Abstract:
Meteorological data such as solar radiation (1975-1984, and 2002-2010) and sunshine duration (1968-2004) were analyzed to study temporal characteristics of solar energy and investigate solar energy potential in Kathmandu valley. Pre-monsoon and post monsoon seasons have higher mean monthly sunshine duration (about 8 hours/day) than summer (about 5 hours/day) and winter (about 7 hours/day) seasons over Kathmandu. Pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons receive solar energy of about 190 Wm-2 and 170 Wm-2 respectively. The winter season receives the least amount of solar radiation (135 Wm-2). Approximately 220 MW of solar electricity can be produced in Kathmandu that will substantially fulfill current energy demand and reduce environmental pollution in the valley by replacing fossil fuels with clean solar electricity.Journal of Hydrology and Meteorology, Vol. 8(1) 2012, p.77-82

The Forest officers and police need to be motivated to confiscate the ivory and take the offenders to court. Without fully implementing Nepal's 25-year-old National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act, the authorities are indirectly encouraging people to flout the restrictions.

Female trafficking in Nepal due to their own relatives in periphery of Kathmandu. The main cause of female trafficking are poverty, unemployment, high ambiguous, better life, search of job opportunity, dwell in town. Copy other faction, unawareness, easily trust in other, family careless and weak state. The government does not initiate or lead efforts for rescue and rehabilitation. Nearly all of the interviewees said that people had a bad impression of them when they returned to society. Weak state means weak policy implementation. In Nepal, there is a lot of girl trafficking.

Abstract:
The study estimate, the vehicular emission load for CO, CO2 , HCs, NOX, SO2, Dioxin/Furans, Particulate Matters (PM10, PM2.5, Black carbon and Organic Carbon) by using emission factors and Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) of the pollutants (CO2, NOX, BC and OC). For this purpose, data were collected through the video tape record (in 30 sites), questionnaire survey, field visit, and literatures review. The total estimated emission of Kathmandu Valley (KV) was 7231053.12 ton/year. Of the total emission, CO2 emission was highest i.e., 91.01% followed by CO 5.03%, HC 0.96%, NOX 0.60%, PM10 0.18% and SO2 0.10%. Annually 529353.36 μg Toxic Equivalent (TEQ) of Dioxin/Furan produced and directly disperse to the ambient environment. The total estimated PM2.5, BC and OC emission were 9649.40 ton/year, 1640.4 ton/year and 2894.82 ton/year. The total carbon equivalence of the combined emissions (CO2, NOX and BC) for 100-years standard time horizon is 10579763.6 ton CO2-eq i.e., 2885390.07 ton carbon.CO2 alone will be responsible, for about 62% of the impacts for the next century from current emissions of CO2, NOX and BC. Of the total emission Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV) emits 50%, Light Duty Vehicles (LDV) emits, 27%, 2-Wheelers emits 22% and 3-Wheeler (Tempo) emits 1%. The total emission of all pollutants combined per vehicle together was estimated to be 5.46 ton/year which was estimated as 23.63, 10.35, 1.83 and 5.58 ton/year for HDV, LDV, 2-Wheelers and 3-Wheeler respectively.

Abstract:
Background The alarming increase of HIV/AIDS, inability to afford highly active anti-retroviral therapy, disability and stigma associated with the disease, loss of productivity due to illness, and chronic nature of the disease has made HIV/AIDS one of the most important public health problems in developing countries. The Quality of life assessment is focused on humanistic element and intervention resulting from this result may lead to better overall patient well being. Objective The aim of our study was to assess and compare the quality of life among HIV positive individuals in Kathmandu Valley & Eastern region. Methods The study was conducted among 228 HIV positive individuals from Eastern Nepal and 213 from Kathmandu valley and they were compared with an equal number of age-sex matched controls from the community. The instrument used was the WHO QOL-BREF Nepali questionnaire. Results The HIV positive individuals had significantly lower (P<0.001) QOL scores than the controls in the overall QOL and all the domains of life: Physical, Psychological, Social and Environmental. HIV positive individuals from Kathmandu valley scored significantly better (P<0.001) scores in the Physical and Environmental domains when compared to HIV positive individuals from Eastern region. HIV positive females had a significantly higher (P<0.02) QOL scores for overall QOL and overall perception of health than the males. Conclusion These findings suggest that HIV positive individuals have a poorer quality of life than the general population in Kathmandu valley & Eastern region of Nepal and interventions could be targeted to improve this aspect of their health.

Abstract:
Introduction: Knowledge about the distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype and its correlation with viral load are important for the decision of treatment and the prediction of disease progression, however such information is very limited in Nepal. Here, we investigated the distribution of HCV genotypes and viral load for HCV-infected patients from Kathmandu, Nepal. Methodology: Ninety-six patients with HCV infection and not on antiviral therapy were enrolled from three different medical centers in Kathmandu valley, Nepal. Demographics were recorded and blood samples were collected. Plasma was separated and HCV RNA was extracted. Reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) was performed to measure the viral load, and virus genotype was determined. Results: Genotype 3a (n = 53, 55.2%) was the most prevalent, followed by 1b (n = 19, 19.8%), 1a (n = 18, 18.8%), 5a (n = 3, 3.1%), and mix types (n = 3, 3.1%). The median viral load for HCV genotype 1a was 770,942 IU/mL (IQR, 215,268-3,720,075), 1b was 700,000 IU/mL (IQR, 431,560-919,000), 3a was 1,060,000 IU/mL (IQR, 641,050-6,063,500), 5a was 673,400 IU/mL, and mixed was 6,428,000 IU/mL. A correlation between genotype and viral load was observed (p = 0.02), of which genotype 3a showed a high viral load. Conclusions: HCV genotypes 1a, 1b, 3a, and 5a were identified in Kathmandu, Nepal, and mixed genotype patients were observed in the patients studied. HCV genotype showed a correlation with viral load in patient plasma. This finding may contribute to the treatment and prevention of hepatitis C in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Abstract:
Two hundred and fifty slaughtered pigs for meat purpose, in various localities ofKathmandu Metropolitan City and Dharan Municipality were examined for Taenia cystsduring January 1997 to April 1998. A surveillance study was also carried out with butchers, meat sellers, farmers and porkconsumers to study the awareness of taeniasis cysticercosis.Data was collected from the hospitals to determine the status of taeniasis/cysticercosisinfection in humans. Out of 250 slaughtered pigs examined, thirty-four (13.6%) were found positive for cysticercosis. The sex wise prevalence rate of infection was 8.77% in male pigs and 24.05% in female pigs. The result reveals that females are infected more than the males. Out of 196 slaughtered pigs examined in Kathmandu, 28 (14.28%) were found positive, whereas in Dharan, out of 54, 6 (11.11%) were found positive. The result further reveals that the number of infected pigs is higher in Kathmandu than Dharan. It is due to the importation of infected pigs to Kathmandu both from rural areas of Nepal and India. The results show that pork consumption is risky from a public health point of view. In environments where animal cysticercosis is prevalent, human taeniasis/cysticercosis is likely to be present.Prevalence of Taenia solium infection in pigs was therefore observed and recorded for the first time in Dharan Municipality and Kathmandu Metropolitan Municipality in Nepal.Human cysticercosis cases were also studied. Out of 23,402 human biopsy casesrecorded from Patan Hospital alone during July 1993 - Feb 1998, sixty-two patientswere confirmed to have cysticercosis infection. Out of 62 taeniasis/cysticercosispatients, 40 cases were from Kathmandu and 22 were from outside Kathmandu. Amongthe 62 infected patients, 38 were females while 24 were males. The result reveals that the infection rate is higher in Kathmandu than outside Kathmandu. Sexwise data againreveal that females are infected more frequently than males.The surveillance study findings reveal that taeniasis and cysticercosis are prevalentin Kathmandu and Dharan due to various factors, viz,uncontrolled slaughtering, lack of a meat inspection program, lack of awareness aboutmeat borne diseases, unhygienic conditions of slaughtering places due to lack of slaughter houses, environmental pollution etc.The incidence of human taeniasis/cysticercosis could be controlled by raising pigsunder hygienic condition and improving the environmental quality in the pig slaughtering abattoirs under the supervision of medical and veterinary technicians. An effective veterinary public health activities should immediately be established in all 56 municipalities of the country for meat inspection and construction of slaughter houses.

Abstract:
Background: This work attempts to investigate the standards of physical premises of pharmacies in terms of cleanliness, ventilation, protection from physical environment, spaciousness and storage facilities of two selected districts of Nepal: Kathmandu and Kaski. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study of 100 randomly selected retail and wholesale pharmacies (55 from Kathmandu and 45 from Kaski) was conducted for their compliance to provisions of physical premises: cleanliness, ventilation, protection from physical environment, spaciousness and storage facilities. Preliminarily, scoring was done by converting 5-point Likert scale to a 100-point scale as follows: 1 = 0–20, 2 = 21–40, 3 = 41–60, 4 = 61–80 and 5 = 81–100. These scores were then reported as poor (score ⩽ 40), below average (score of 41–49), average (score of 50), above average (score of 51–60) and good (score ⩾ 61). Cronbach’s alpha for retails and wholesales obtained was .720 and .757, respectively. Results: In wholesales, protection from physical environment was least scored among other components, with the mean score 34.7 ± 8.3 for Kathmandu and 37.3 ± 13.3 for Kaski. Ventilation was scored 35.3 ± 6.3 for Kathmandu and 39.3 ± 11.6 for Kaski. All other components were obtained below average. However, in retails, the storage facilities were rated ‘poor’ with mean score 36.3 ± 13.9 for Kathmandu and 36.0 ± 11.9 for Kaski. Most other components were scored above average except for ventilation which was scored ‘good’. It was found that there was no significant difference between physical premises of the pharmacies of Kathmandu and Kaski in terms of all the indicators. The findings suggest that physical premise of many pharmacies was not found appropriate as provisioned in the good pharmacy practice requirements of Codes on Sales and Distribution of Drugs. Conclusion: Most pharmacies were found non-compliant to the aforementioned pharmacy premise components. Therefore, key partners should come up with commitment for increasing compliance to the legislative provisions of physical premises for ensuring quality and safety of medicines.

Abstract:
Introduction: In spite of significant evidence on a number of important health benefits of breastfeeding, it has been seen that a vast number of infants in Nepal are not being breastfed appropriately based on standard recommendations. This study was conducted to evaluate the breastfeeding practices prevalent in Kathmandu.Materials and Methods: This was across-sectional survey carried out over a period of 24 months from January 2011 to December 2012 on a convenient sample of children aged 6 months to 23 months when they were brought for treatment to Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital. Breastfeeding was defined according to the recent WHO guidelines and mothers were interviewed as per a structured questionnaire.Results: There were 1250 children enrolled in the study, out of which almost all infants (99.7%, n=1246) received colostrum. Only 62.64% (n=783) babies received breast milk as their first food. Initiation of breastfeeding within one hour of delivery was done by 719 (57.5%) mothers. The median duration of exclusive breastfeeding was 3.8 months.Conclusion: This study reflects that majority of infants in Kathmandu are still not fed in accordance with breastfeeding recommendations and guidelines. More attention should be given to a proper community-based program including subsequent monitoring of its implementation as exclusive breastfeeding has been proved to be one of the most effective ways to improve infant survival.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v34i2.10032J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2014;34(2):96-99
