The use and distribution of IAPS and their management were recorded through the application of checklists and semi-structured questionnaires Present research shows the presence of 10 invasive alien plant species from the study area. The main invasive species include Ageratina adenophora, Ageratum conyzoides, Ageratum houstonianum, Bidens pilosa, Chromolaena adorata, Parthenium hysterophorus, Mimosa pudica, Oxalis latifolia, Senna tora, and Xanthium strumarium. Bidens pilosa, one of these IAPS, is the species that is most common in agricultural areas, whereas Ageratina adenophora is the species that is most common in grasslands and forest borders. Significant IAPS in agricultural lands include Ageratum conyzoides, Ageratum houstonianum, and Oxalis latifolia, which have an immediate impact on the vegetation of the rural municipality of Chhatrakot. It was discovered that Ageratina adenophora was introduced around 20–25 years ago when road tracts were opened, despite the fact that the past of many IAPS was unknown. Ploughing, picking, burning, and composting are some common practices used to manage these IAPS in Chhatrakot rural municipality.","PeriodicalId":228018,"journal":{"name":"Butwal Campus Journal","volume":"21 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114042902","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}

This study adopts narrative inquiry as research method to explore the attitudes of participants through their lived narratives. For this purpose, two secondary-level English language teachers and two students have been selected as the participants who were involved in shadow education for the study from two community secondary schools in the Rupandehi district. The study uses unstructured interviews for collecting the required data. The study revealed that teachers and students have both positive and negative attitudes towards shadow education in English language teaching and learning. Tuition and coaching supported students to improve their self-confidence and language proficiency in English and teachers to be financially strong. Similarly, poor classroom teaching, attending fewer classes and giving less attention to the students during the regular teaching hours are the negative consequences of shadow education. Thus, the study can contribute to the discourse of shadow education to get insightful ideas and add new knowledge in reforming the existing educational policy in school education minimizing negative effects of it in Nepal.","PeriodicalId":228018,"journal":{"name":"Butwal Campus Journal","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129574490","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}

By examining GARCH family models with Generalized Error Distribution specification, the results of symmetric GARCH models show that there is persistent volatility in daily stock returns in Nepal over the study period. The observed persistent volatility in daily stock returns indicate that the current shocks in daily stock returns exist in forecasting variance for longer period in future. The results of asymmetric TGARCH (1, 1) model show that there is the leverage effects on the volatility of daily stock returns in Nepal during the study period. The observed leverage effects implies that uncomplimentary news have larger effects on the volatility than the complimentary news of the same intensity. Finally, results establish the GARCH (1, 1) model as the best fitted symmetric model to explain the volatility persistence and the TGARCH (1,1) model as the best fitted asymmetric models to predict the leverage effects on the time varying conditional volatility of daily stock in Nepal. The main implication of findings from this study is that it offers an additional insight to form sound investment strategy to address risk structure of Nepali stock market.","PeriodicalId":228018,"journal":{"name":"Butwal Campus Journal","volume":"15 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123779380","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}

The study has adopted online collaborative learning theory (OCL) as a theoretical stance for the study and employed a qualitative research design as a research method. Six M Ed students have been purposively selected as research participants, who were learning English in online environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. They were selected from two TU affiliated campuses located in Rupandehi district. In order to collect the data, a semi-structured interview technique has been used. The study uncovers that M Ed English students perceive online learning as an alternative way of learning during pandemic situation. It further depicts that through online learning, students improve their language skills, collaborative practices, and digital literacy. Besides these, the study demonstrates that inadequate skills of ICT in teachers and students, lack of internet and smart digital gadgets, learning anxiety, lack of peace zone at home are some challenges in online learning. The study contributes to the students’ understanding of learning through online mode.","PeriodicalId":228018,"journal":{"name":"Butwal Campus Journal","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121730122","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}

They were Dioscorea bulbifera from Gulmi, the other three Aegle marmelos, Nyctanthes arbortristis, Urtica dioica from Rupandehi. Methanolic extract of these plants was analyzed. The DPPH radical scavenging assay was used to measure the antioxidant activity, the Folin-Ciocalteu method to measure total phenolic content, and the aluminum chloride colorimetric method to measure total flavonoid content. Results revealed that plant extract contained phytochemicals such as flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, terpenoids, saponins, quinonnes, etc. The Dioscorea bulbifera showed the highest % of radical scavenging activity up to 82.31±2.43µg/ml with an IC50 value of 51.102±6.424µg/ml followed by Nyctanthes arbortristis and the lowest in Urtica dioica with IC50 value 70.716±1.55 µg/ml, 179.103±3.580 respectively. Dioscorea bulbifera revealed the highest TPC and TFC of 136.667±5.08 mgGAE/g and 33.41±1.720 mgQE/g followed by Nyctanthes arbortristis and lowest in Urtica dioica. These parameters were analyzed from the period of 15 September 2021 to 20 October, 2021.","PeriodicalId":228018,"journal":{"name":"Butwal Campus Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132645064","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}
