Modern technology makes small business management difficult as well. Customers are aware of the international market. The most recent advancement in management is business intelligence. A data-driven decision to address the challenge encountered by any corporate organization is the current dilemma in management, as opposed to an intuitive or constrained logical decision. Any corporate organization should be concerned with decoding the message from data via scientific analysis. The analysis in this study included 504 Nepalese SEMs. We questioned companies in the manufacturing, service, wholesale, and retail industries on how they used business intelligence in their operations. The survey found that Nepalese SMEs are only just beginning to use business intelligence. For Nepalese businessmen, technological literacy is of the utmost importance. The major worry of Nepalese SMEs is the fear of losing sensitive data.","PeriodicalId":394565,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Balkumari College","volume":"24 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138591238","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}

Descriptive and analytical research designs have therefore been used in this study. To achieve the research goals, a set of research questions are created to elicit the opinions of employees. A total of 240 questionnaires—40 in each of the 6 institutions, which include 3 commercial banks and 3 insurance companies—are distributed for this purpose. 193 (80.41%) of the copies of the survey are fully completed and returned. These questionnaires are used for the research's objectives. These responses have been gathered from the chosen financial institutions' corporate, branch, and head offices. Results show that most of the employees perceive a moderate level of job involvement toward their organizations. In the case of ownership pattern, the Nepalese public sector shows higher job involvement than that of the private sector. The results further show that perceived job involvement has significant associations with all demographic characteristics that have been analyzed. This means there are different demographic effects on employees’ perceived job involvement. In the case of the banking and insurance sector, insurance sector employees hold a relatively higher level of job involvement than the banking sector employees. High-involvement workers struggle to keep work and personal life apart because they care so much about what they do. Employees' attitudes and behaviors, which in turn affect their work performance and the success of the company, are influenced by how involved they feel in their jobs. As a result, job involvement research is crucial for Nepalese workplaces.","PeriodicalId":394565,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Balkumari College","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121202590","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}

Selection of Fruit Juices and Tangs was done from five different fruits, viz., apple, orange, pineapple, pomegranate, and mango in an attempt to quantify four heavy metals, i.e., Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe) and Lead (Pb). The wet digestion technique was employed for the decomposition of samples. Variability in the concentration of heavy metals was observed in various types of fruit juices, thereby verifying that the levels of heavy metals are dependent on the types of fruits as well as fruit juices. The mean concentrations of all the investigated metals (Fe, Pb, Mn, and Zn) were below the maximum permissible limit in the selected juices and tangs. Irrespective of the types of fruits or nature of juices, i.e., either packaged or fresh fruit juices or tangs, the studied samples are safe for human consumption based on studied heavy metals toxicity.","PeriodicalId":394565,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Balkumari College","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122275578","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}
