Women's autonomy on sexual and reproductive health issues is critical to women's well-being. Women have the right decide their fertility sexuality, be free from coercion violence, achieve This study has identified regarding decision exercise of rights its association with determining factors in Nepal. Descriptive analytical statistics such as bivariate multivariate regression analysis were performed using data Nepal Demographic Health Survey 2016. The survey collected 12,862 women age groups...

Lessons from the fieldProblem Pneumonia is a leading cause of mortality children aged under five in Nepal.Research conducted by John Snow Inc. 1980s determined that pneumonia case management community-based workers decreased under-five 28%.Approach Female community health volunteers were selected as national cadre to manage childhood at level using oral antibiotics.A technical working group composed government officials, local experts and donor partners embarked on process develop strategy...

Bacterial genomic mutations in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) have been detected isolated resistant clinical strains, yet their mechanistic effect on the development of antimicrobial resistance remains unclear. The resistance-associated regulatory systems acquire adaptive under stress conditions that may lead to a gain function and contribute phenotype. Here, we investigate single-point mutation (T331I) VraS histidine kinase, part VraSR two-component system S. aureus. senses responds...

Abstract Design of powerhouse is a major concern in hydropower project located Nepal Himalaya. seismically active zone. The structures built this region have to be seismic resistant addition dynamic loads, produced power house due the vibration turbine and generator set. structural elements such as slab, column, foundation, wind cover, wall need sustain vibration. It should also earthquake at same time. Using finite element methods, transmission was analyzed for selected case study lesser...

Abstract This study focuses on the seismic assessment of underground structures in transition Higher Himalayan and Lesser region Nepal. Due to fragile geology Himalaya, most are constructed highly jointed rock mass. Rock mass classification approaches extensively used for estimation supports without consideration. Design like tunnels cavern effect is rarely considered Nepal Himalaya. For sustainable development hydropower project tunnel caverns plays vital role terms its stability. Presence...

Background World Health Organization (WHO) stated that malnutrition is a major global health and social problem from which many people are suffering, particularly children. Poor feeding care practices, insufficient nutrient intake, high rate of infection teenage pregnancy the immediate causes chronic malnutrition. Objective To identify risk factors for among under five Method A case control study was carried out mothers having under-5 years' children who were admitted in Kanti Children's...

Abstract Tunnelling through faulted rock mass is associated with long lasting displacements, stability problems, overburden squeezing, high deformations and dynamic stress conditions. With the dominance of faults in Nepal Himalaya, determination behaviour around tunnels physical parameters for tunnel support very challenging demanding. Tunnel are always dominated by fault. In this paper a hydropower vicinity fault has been used as case study design application support. Rock characterized,...

Abstract Due to steep terrain and fast flowing rivers in the Himalayan region of Nepal, medium mega size hydropower projects are constructing day-by-day. Tunnel is one best short routes for water conveyance system power production. Hundreds kilometers tunnels have been constructed new planned this region. The availability high head generation, tunnel cross sections relatively small, up 6 m diameter size, there rock cover above alignment. This paper focuses on design construction practices...

Objectives: The objective of the study was to isolate lactose positive yeasts from dairy samples collected local markets Kathmandu, extract crude β-galactosidase yeast and characterize enzyme for optimum time duration, pH, temperature, Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) maximum activity (Vmax).
 Methods: Four strains were isolated market Kathmandu by pour plate method. Single strain having selected study. mass culture lysed 2% Chloroform cell lysate containing (i.e. extract) characterized...

Background The important morphological parameters of distal radius namely palmar tilt, radial inclination, height and ulnar variance are consequential in the evaluation management fracture, plate design kinesiology. Correction these anatomical alignment is to restore normal biomechanics wrist joint. Objective To ascertain patients attending tertiary care hospital with regard gender age. Method radiographs (postero-anterior lateral views) 125 patients, from 16 above 60 years age were used...

Topical therapy with emulgel -type of products allows efficient delivery bioactive compounds additional benefits to patients. This research aimed design, optimize, formulate, and evaluate in vitro parameters between gels loaded a microemulsion extracted capsaicin their standard. A crude form was from capsicum. Using Box Behnken 15 different microemulsions were made by ultrasonication optimized varying three independent variables (amount olive oil, Hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value...

Abstract This paper is focused on the assessment and numerical analysis of hydropower tunnel Lesser Himalayan Region Nepal. region lies between two major faults namely Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) Central (MCT) with weak rock mass like phyllite, schist, gneiss, phyllitic etc. Thus, to overcome stability problems during underground construction, proper support system must be installed. Rock classification systems are commonly used for estimating in this region, but approach inadequate address...

<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> Nepal is one of the first countries to license pharmacists administer injectable contraceptives, through CRS Company9s (CRS) Sangini private pharmacy network. There are more than 3,400 pharmacies in Nepal, including hard-to-reach mountain areas, where these outlets a key access point injectables and other short-acting methods for those who lack public sector or prefer sector. We compared performance (1) CRS-led technical support visits, when providers were aware being...

Abstract With the high mountains, steep terrain and fast flowing river, Himalayan region has a great opportunity potential for hydropower development. In Nepal, many projects have been constructed are under construction among which majority of project small to medium scale project. For such project, size tunnel provides an economic safe route water convergence. Squeezing collapse observed in most tunnels, resulted support failure, as passes through weak rock mass in-situ stress during...
