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

The rise of digital learning resources has led to ongoing debates about the effectiveness of e-books compared to printed books in academic performance. University students are increasingly using both formats, but their impact on learning outcomes remains a subject of interest. This study explores students’ perceptions of e-books and printed books and their influence on academic performance. A quantitative research approach was employed to examine the comparative impact of e-books and printed books on academic performance. A structured questionnaire was distributed both online and offline to collect primary data from 210 university students across Shanker Dev Campus, Pulchowk Engineering Campus, Saraswoti Multiple Campus, and KIST College. Demographic analysis revealed that 96.7% of participants were undergraduates, with a balanced gender distribution (54.5% female, 45.5% male). Descriptive statistics indicated that printed books received higher mean ratings compared to e-books, particularly in perceived academic utility. Correlation analysis showed a moderate positive relationship between e-book usage and academic performance (r = 0.406, p < 0.001) and between printed book usage and academic performance (r = 0.449, p < 0.001), suggesting that both formats contribute to learning outcomes, with printed books having a slightly stronger association. The study found that both e-books and printed books positively impact academic performance, with printed books demonstrating a marginally stronger correlation. While e-books offer convenience and accessibility, printed books remain preferred for deeper comprehension and retention. The findings highlight the need for a balanced approach in integrating digital and traditional learning materials to optimize academic success.

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

Noise pollution is an unseen threat. It cannot be seen, although it is present both on land and beneath the water. Any undesired or irritating sound that impacts the health and well-being of humans and other organisms is referred to as noise pollution. It is harmful to human health. According to WHO, more than 70 decibels of sound will be harmful to health. The average noise level in Kathmandu was 66.8 decibels (A), with high-traffic zones producing the most noise, followed by commercial, low-traffic, and residential zones. The main objective of this review paper is to identify the effect of noise pollution on human health. It is a review article. There are different kinds of effects explored in the previous studies such as hearing loss, sleep disruption, cardiovascular disease, social handicaps, reduced productivity, bad social behavior, irritation reactions, absenteeism, and accidents. Noise pollution is a significant problem in Nepal, particularly in Kathmandu. The studies suggest that the enforcement of noise standards and No Horn Regulation can be effective in reducing noise pollution. However, more efforts are needed to monitor and enforce these regulations. Noise pollution can cause a variety of health problems, and it is essential to take measures to reduce it to protect public health.
