An Analysis of Women Representation in 2022 Nepal Local Election
Get PDFThe proportion of women elected to local offices in 2017 was 40.95 percent. The situation improved slightly in 2022 when women accounted for 41.21 percent of all elected officials. These occurrences show that passing laws alone will not ensure women's participation; continuous monitoring is necessary to ensure the law is applied correctly. Using a combination of descriptive and analytical methods that worked better in the context of pragmatist philosophy, Descriptive techniques, such as surveys and observations, offer in-depth descriptions of phenomena; analytical techniques, such as statistical analysis and experiments, are used to test hypotheses and determine correlations between variables. The two approaches work well together to improve our comprehension of the research topic as a whole. This study combined liberal and representative political science theory with a mixed research design. The result shows that the 2022 elections offer a fantastic chance to increase women's representation in politics and build on the significant accomplishments of 2017. This is beneficial for social justice as well as aiding political parties in their election campaigns. Many women are eager to advance in their political careers, especially those who have worked in local government for the past four years. When it comes to gender equality, increasing the representation of women in public life seems like a good place to start. Consequently, there has been an improvement in the representation of women in local elections. Though the parties have exploited loopholes, the Election Commission has made progress in addressing the concerns raised regarding women's participation in the electoral process. 
Aquaculture, Disease Occurrence and Preventive Strategies in Mymensingh District
Get PDFThe study was conducted to assess the current fish culture strategy and management techniques in two upazilas (Trishal and Muktagacha) in Mymensingh district. The results revealed that the average pond area in Trishal ranged from 100 to 1500 decimal. However, the average pond area in Muktagacha was higher by 200-4000 decimal. The farmers in the study area used monoculture (50%). One-third (33.33%) preferred polyculture, with a few (16.67%) following both culture systems. The studied farms used preventive measures such as frequent health checks (66.67%), pond drying (66.67%), and pond lime application (100%). Approximately 66.67% of farmers used probiotics in their fields for beneficial purposes such as water quality control, growth augmentation, and disease resistance. In each selected upazila of Mymensingh district, 87.5% of farmers acclimatized fry before stocking them into ponds. The data revealed that fish production varied according to culture type, location, and culture duration. Trishal had the highest average yield (158.5 kg/ decimal). The average production in Muktagacha was (143.5kg/decimal). The results showed that Trishal had the largest year-round Pangas production (245kg/decimal) and Muktagachha had the lowest (150kg/decimal). Results regarding the disease and health assessment of cultured ponds evolved that four (04) types of diseases were discovered in the study area: bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoan diseases. Most farmers performed preventive measures such as regular fish health inspections, pond drying, lime application, pond weeding, water turbidity removal, water addition, and so on.

From Edith Wharton to Marvine Howe: Travel Literature Oscillates Between Distorting the Truth and Enhancing the Tourist's Experience
Get PDFThis research aims to deconstruct the discourse used in two distinct books on Morocco from different eras, each providing unique perspectives on the country. Edith Wharton's "In Morocco" (1917) offers insights into early 20th-century perceptions, while Marvine Howe's "Morocco: The Islamist Awakening and Other Challenges" (2005) presents a contemporary viewpoint. These texts are thematically analyzed alongside the real-life experiences of American travelers who have either visited Morocco or plan to do so. By understanding the motivations and reasons that lead individuals to choose Morocco as a travel destination, the study explores their expectations, assumptions, and pre-trip desires, shedding light on the lens through which they approach the country. Additionally, it investigates travelers' interpretations of Morocco's rich historical, architectural, cultural, and artistic aspects, uncovering the impact of pre-existing notions on their perceptions. Juxtaposing literature with firsthand traveler accounts, the study aims to discern disparities between anticipated and actual experiences. Post-trip assessments contrast expectations with reality, highlighting the influence of preconceived notions on the overall travel experience. This comprehensive examination contributes to a nuanced understanding of how travel literature shapes perceptions and influences engagement with Morocco as a destination.
