The purpose of this paper was to measure the patients` expectations and perceptions and thereby compare them between private and public hospitals. Based on SERVQUAL model, self-administered questionnaire was prepared with six-point Likert-type scaled questions. Using judgemental sampling, the questionnaires were distributed to 450 patients at different locations of Butwal, out of which only 391 questionnaires were usable. The result revealed that private hospitals have been providing relatively better services than the public hospitals.","PeriodicalId":228018,"journal":{"name":"Butwal Campus Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124976442","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 has been done in the Lumbini provincial hospital from January 2021 to June 2021. In a study of bacterial disease among the suspected cases of Lumbini provincial hospital, four types of bacterial diseases were found; TB, pneumonia, leprosy, and meningitis. Among the four diseases, the cases of TB and pneumonia are found higher than that of leprosy and meningitis. The highest cases of TB i.e., 2.5% show in between the age group of 20-30 and 40-50 years of age. The highest cases of pneumonia show in between the age group of 0-10 years i.e., 5.75%. The highest cases of leprosy were found in above 70 years of age group i.e., 2.25% and that of meningitis were found in between the age group of 40-50 years of age i.e., 1%.","PeriodicalId":228018,"journal":{"name":"Butwal Campus Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128646861","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 employs Engle-Granger(1987) and Johansen’s (1988) cointegration test to examine the cointegration between economic growth proxied by log of real GDP and stock market development indicators, namely stock market size and liquidity, proxied by log of market capitalization and log of annual turnover, respectively. The results of cointegration show that both stock market size and liquidity can predict economic growth in Nepal. The results of cointegration test from both Engle-Granger procedures and Johansen’s method suggests that economic growth is cointegrated with both stock market size and stock market liquidity, and hence they are interrelated with each other in the long run. The basic implication of study finding is that both stock market size and liquidity significantly predict the economic growth in Nepal over the sample period and hence there is a need for promoting secondary market trading both in terms of size and liquidity.","PeriodicalId":228018,"journal":{"name":"Butwal Campus Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129137626","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 used a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent group design. The participants were fifty-two students from two intact sections of postgraduate in the second semester at the University Campus, Kirtipur, with one section assigned as the experimental group and the other section as the control by a convenience sampling method. The experimental group of 24 students received instruction with the GeoGebra software module, while the control group received the traditional method. The independent sample t-test was used in the analysis of data gathered from CUDIT which was subjected to before and after treatment. The results of this study revealed that there were no significant differences in pre-test mean scores between the experimental and control groups at CUDIT, but there were significant differences in post-test mean scores. These results indicated that the conceptual understanding of definite integral of students in the experimental group outperformed those in the control group. This study recommends that mathematics teachers use the GeoGebra Software for the conceptual understanding of the mathematical content to help learners in their learning process.","PeriodicalId":228018,"journal":{"name":"Butwal Campus Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126601957","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}
