Abstract

ABSTRACT Death is not viewed as the absolute end, but rather as a gateway to a continued spiritual existence or rebirth. The main objective of this study is to find out the publication trend of death attitude-related articles from 2015 to 2024. The study used the bibliometric analysis method to analyze the data published in Dimensions. Analysis of death attitude publications over the past decade reveals increasing interest, with a peak in 2021 but a decline in 2022 and 2023. Citation analysis shows a steady rise in citations until 2022, followed by a slight decline. The percentage of publications with citations has decreased over the years. Metrics like FCR and RCR indicate fluctuating citation impact. Interdisciplinary research is evident, with dominant categories including "Human Society," "Health Sciences," and "Law and Legal Studies." Leading countries in death attitude research include the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Challenges such as declining citation uptake underscore the need for enhanced dissemination efforts. Death attitude research has seen increasing interest and impact, significant challenges in citation uptake and fluctuating impact highlight the need for strategic improvements in research dissemination and visibility. Addressing these issues is essential to maintain and enhance the field's scholarly influence.

Abstract

This research examines the impact of living arrangements on death attitudes among elderly individuals in Nepal's Chitwan and Jhapa districts. A cross-sectional survey of 127 participants (79 in elder homes, 48 in their own homes) was conducted and analyzed using SPSS v.20. Significant differences in death attitudes were found based on living arrangements. Elder home residents showed greater acceptance of quick death, less fear, and viewed death more as relief from pain. They preferred dying in religious places, while those in their own homes preferred passing at home. Belief in reincarnation was higher among those living independently. The study reveals that living environments significantly influence elderly individuals' death attitudes, with elder home residents exhibiting more acceptance towards death. These findings suggest a need for tailored end-of-life care and support services that consider living arrangements and cultural contexts, contributing to the discourse on geriatric care in diverse settings.

Abstract

This study investigates how behavioral biases loss aversion, representativeness, and overconfidence influence investment decisions in Nepal’s stock market. Using a descriptive and causal research design, data were collected via structured questionnaires from 120 individual investors. Analysis through SPSS revealed that overconfidence has a significant positive impact on investment decisions, while loss aversion and representativeness showed moderate but insignificant effects. These findings highlight the critical role of psychological factors in shaping investor behavior, offering insights for financial advisors and policymakers to mitigate bias-driven risks.

Abstract

This research aims to explore how social interaction influences stock market participation in the Kathmandu Valley. It utilizes a descriptive and causal study design, applying a positivist approach to investigate the phenomenon. The focus is on understanding the effects of social interactions on individuals' involvement in the stock market within this specific geographical context. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data about factors influencing participation in the stock market. A total of 399 samples were gathered from this population using convenience sampling. The data was then analyzed using several statistical techniques. Reliability analysis was employed to assess the internal consistency of the measurement instruments. The results of the analyses found that internet usage, social norms/community influence, and the influence of friends/partners had a significant impact on whether someone participates in the stock market. However, there was no evidence that parental involvement in the stock market influences their children's participation. In summary, the study examined how different factors relate to individuals' participation in the stock market through a survey and statistical analyses of the collected data. Internet access, social environment, and peer influences were found to affect participation, but not parental involvement

Abstract

Social media plays a central role in students' daily academic activities across the globe. This study investigates how social media language influences students’ intention to engage in academic use behavior at leading universities in Nepal. Grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), a structured questionnaire was distributed to 235 students from Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu University, Purbanchal University, and Pokhara University using stratified sampling. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data. Results reveal that performance expectancy significantly influences both behavioral intention and actual use behavior. Effort expectancy and social influence significantly affect use behavior but not behavioral intention, while facilitating conditions show no significant influence on either. Behavioral intention mediates the relationship between UTAUT constructs and use behavior. The findings highlight the importance of social media language in shaping students' academic engagement, offering practical insights for educators, policymakers, and platform developers to enhance social media’s educational utility.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors impacting brand switching within the smartphone category using both descriptive and causal research designs. Data from 200 participants were collected through structured questionnaires in a survey format, focusing on customers who recently changed their smartphones. Analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Hayes Process Macros to assess moderation effects. Results indicated that customer innovation and pricing significantly influence brand switching, while product features, referrals, and marketing strategies were found to have negligible effects, indicating a lack of perceived value for customers. Additionally, gender was found to moderate the relationship between product features, marketing strategies, and brand switching. The findings of this research hold implications for marketers, emphasizing the importance of understanding demographic profiles to effectively prevent brand switching and develop competitive strategies in the smartphone market.
