Human Resources after Merger and Acquisition in Prabhu Bank

The unnatural increment of the Nepalese Banking and Financial Industries (BFIs) has brings several financial challenges and complications in the financial market. The financial indicator had indicated that the Nepalese financial sector was weak, vulnerable and at the verge of a collapse. Regularity body in Nepal having difficulties in regulation, with the coordination with Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), Nepalese government lunched the Monitory Policy on 2072/73 especially focusing on capital growth of the BFIs. Merger and Acquisition (M&A) play a vigorous role in the after the Nepal Rastra Bank implemented the Merger Bylaws Policy, Banking and Financial Institutions (BFIs) in the Nepalese Market focus on M&A with appropriate partners. The increasing trends of M&A without proper guidance and experience gradually increase challenge on both stability and operational issues in Prabhu bank. Mostly Human resources form the Bank are persecute after the post-merger activity in the institutions. Therefore, this paper presents the issues on HRM among Prabhu Bank after M&A. This study uses a qualitative research design with 35 participants. Data is gathered through interviews, and the findings are determined by thematic analysis. The results of the study show that while mergers create chances for employees to grow professionally, collaborate across different cultures, and feel a sense of stewardship, similarly highlight difficulties like identity loss and communication gaps, Leadership Uncertainty and increase competitive behavior among peers which ultimate effect on the growth of both employee and the organization. The study concludes that mergers provide chances for staff growth and collaboration, and effective integration requires addressing identity issues and communication barriers. Post-merger human resource management issues within Prabhu Bank.

Optimization Method of Mine Ventilation Network Regulation Based on Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming

Mine ventilation is crucial for ensuring safe production in mines, as it is integral to the entire underground mining process. This study addresses the issues of high energy consumption, regulation difficulties, and unreasonable regulation schemes in mine ventilation systems. To this end, we construct an optimization model for mine ventilation network regulation using mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP), focusing on objectives such as minimizing energy consumption, optimal regulation locations and modes, and minimizing the number of regulators. We analyze the construction methods of the mathematical optimization model for both selected and unselected fans. To handle high-order terms in the MINLP model, we propose a variable discretization strategy that introduces 0-1 binary variables to discretize fan branches’ air quantity and frequency regulation ratios. This transformation converts high-order terms in the constraints of fan frequency regulation into quadratic terms, making the model suitable for solvers based on globally accurate algorithms. Example analysis demonstrate that the proposed method can find the optimal solution in all cases, confirming its effectiveness. Finally, we apply the optimization method of ventilation network regulation based on MINLP to a coal mine ventilation network. The results indicate that the power of the main fan after frequency regulation is 71.84 kW, achieving a significant energy savings rate of 65.60% compared to before optimization power levels. Notably, ventilation network can be regulated without adding new regulators, thereby reducing management and maintenance costs. This optimization method provides a solid foundation for the implementation of intelligent ventilation systems.

Enhancing Parental Understanding of Emotions in Children with Developmental Language Disorder: An Online Parent-Led Intervention Program.

Many children with developmental language disorder (DLD) have emotion recognition and regulation difficulties, but there are currently no known interventions enhancing emotional awareness in this population. This study explores the impact of parents' perspectives regarding children with DLD emotional understanding through a parent-led online emotion recognition (ER) intervention. Ten parents of children with DLD aged 6-11 participated in the study. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline design was employed, allowing for a rigorous analysis of changes in parental beliefs over time. Weekly data were collected through the Parents' Beliefs About Children's Emotions Questionnaire. Interviews were also conducted to gain deeper insights into parents' perceptions regarding the ER skills of their children. Results indicated that parents' beliefs about the need for guiding and supporting their child's ER skills increased over the intervention. Interviews also supported this, and three main themes were generated. The intervention program increased parents' awareness of (a) the importance of ER for children with DLD, (b) emotion-focused communication and engagement with their child, and (c) the integration of emotions into daily life. This study is the first known study that explores parents' beliefs about children with DLD ER skills, highlighting the importance of supporting parents through accessible interventions.

Between Play and Exploitation: What Is the Place of the Rights of Child YouTubers?

A documentary study of 100 videos shared on YouTube was conducted, subjected to categorical content analysis with an emphasis on the modes of participation of adults and children in dialogues with the platform's languages present in the videos. The boundaries between children's artistic expression and child labor exploitation are becoming increasingly challenging, with legal discussions presenting difficulties in regulation due to the home environment and predominant parental control. The analysis reveals how the videos are perceived as standardized commodities, hiding the concrete work behind an image of apparent spontaneity. The research highlights contractual digital risks for children, focusing on those related to commercialization. The analyzed videos reflect an instrumentalization of the child's basic right to play, associated with market interests, an aspect that takes on the contours of child labor exploitation, compromising the freedom to play spontaneously.

Chiral Supramolecular Nanofibers Regulated Tumor-Derived Exosomes Secretion for Constructing an Anti-Tumor Extracellular Microenvironment.

Tumor-derived exosomes (TDEs) induced extracellular microenvironment has recently been validated to be critical for tumor progression and metastasis, however, remodeling it for oncotherapy still remains a major challenge due to difficulty in regulation of TDEs secretion. Herein, the supramolecular chiral nanofibers, composed of L/D-phenylalanine derivates (L/D-Phe) and linear hyaluronic acid (HA), are successfully employed to construct TDEs induced anti-tumor extracellular microenvironment. The left-handed L-Phe @HA nanofibers significantly inhibit TDEs secretion into extracellular microenvironment, which results in suppression of tumor proliferation and metastasis in vitro and vivo. Biological assays and theoretical modeling reveal that these results are mainly attributed to strong adsorption of the key exosomes transporters (Ras-related protein Rab-27A and synaptosome-associated protein 23) on left-handed L-Phe @HA nanofibers via enhanced stereoselective interaction, leading to degradation and phosphorylated dropping of exosomes transporters. Subsequently, transfer function of exosomes transporters is limited, which causes remarkable inhibition of TDEs secretion. These findings provide a promising novel insight of chiral functional materials to establish an anti-tumor extracellular microenvironment via regulation of TDEs secretion.

WORST CHOICE FOR SCHOOL CHOICE: TUITION TAX CREDITS ARE A BAD IDEA AND DIRECT FUNDING IS WISER

School choice is on the rise, and states use various mechanisms to implement it. One prevalent mechanism is also a uniquely problematic one: the tax credit. Tax credits are deficient at equitably distributing a benefit like school choice; they are costly, and they invite fraud. Instead of using tax credits, states opting for school choice programs should use direct funding. Direct funding will more efficiently achieve the goals of school choice because it can be regulated like any other government benefit, even if it ends up subsidizing religious private schools. Tax credits’ prevalence is not inexplicable, of course. It is based on a prior legal understanding that states were constitutionally restricted from directly funding religious schools. Historically, states that wanted to include religious private schools in their school choice programs therefore felt pushed to use tax credits as their only constitutionally viable option. However, the landscape has changed. The Supreme Court held in 2022 that direct funding of religious private schools is not only constitutionally permissible, but it is required if a state funds non-religious private schools and provides no neutral basis for excluding religious ones. The initial reason for tax credits’ popularity therefore no longer exists; both tax credits and direct funding alike are constitutionally acceptable. It is time, therefore, to revisit the merits of tax credits and ask whether, knowing what we know now, it is worth disposing of them in favor of direct funding. This Article answers that question with a resounding yes. Tax credits carry significant disadvantages—specifically, inequitable distribution and difficulties in regulation—that direct funding does not. Now that the law is clear, states choosing to sponsor school choice should discontinue their use of tax credits in favor of direct funding.

The Role of Digital Platforms in Economic Analysis and Difficulties of Regulation

The development of the platform economy has had a significant impact on the boundaries and structure of markets, has become a decisive factor determining the nature of horizontal and vertical interactions. The traditional consideration in neoinstitutional economic theory the "seller-buyer" interactions is increasingly giving way to the discussion of the so-called bilateral or multilateral markets (two-sided/multi-sided markets), the formation takes place around digital platforms. At the same time, there is no single definition of digital platforms in the economic literature, as well as a single classification of them. The classification of digital platforms may be based on various criteria that determine their position and functionality in different ways within the vertical value chain. This creates some difficulties for regulatory authorities related to fixing the specific status of digital platforms in regulatory documents as a kind of reference point defining a specific regulatory regime. In light of this, when determining the tasks facing the regulator, it is of particular relevance to analyze changes in the degree of consumer awareness in the context of the development of multilateral markets, the nature of competition between various distribution channels in multilateral markets, that is, between platforms and manufacturers of goods and services, as well as the analysis of value chains in new changing conditions.

Implementation and Effects of the Broad-Minded Affective Coping (BMAC) Technique: a Pilot Study

This study aims to develop and test a 3-session version of the Broad-Minded Affective Coping (BMAC) technique and to explore the relationship between implementation (features of the positive memory evoked, satisfaction, and engagement) and outcome. The BMAC was delivered to 31 female university students in three sessions over 7–10 days. Positive and negative affect, and difficulties in regulation of negative and positive emotions were assessed pre-treatment and post-treatment. The intervention resulted in a significant reduction in negative affect and in difficulties in negative emotion regulation. No significant effects were found on positive affect or on difficulties in positive emotion regulation. Moreover, the memories chosen were found to be highly central, and patient and therapist levels of satisfaction and engagement in the technique were very high throughout the three sessions. No significant relationships were found between implementation and outcome. This leads to the conclusion that the technique may be suitable for inclusion in broader treatment packages.

The importance of perceived quality of instruction, achievement motivation and difficulties in self-regulation for students who drop out of university.

Starting a study programme at an university, students are confronted with rising requirements regulating their learning processes and motivation. Both difficulties due to this regulation and the quality of instruction are associated with students dropping out from a study programme in the research. The purpose of this research is to analyse the interplay and effect of difficulties in self-regulated learning, achievement motivation (i.e. academic self-concept, subject interest), and perceived quality of instruction in dropping out from an university study programme. We sampled 2301 cooperative students in their first academic year. The average age was M=22.12 (SD=3.02), and 1167 were male (50.7%). This cross-sectional study used structural equation models for hypothesis analysis. Three years after the survey, dropout information from the university administration was matched to the survey data. The results indicate associations between academic self-concept, subject interest and difficulties in regulating one's motivation with dropout. An indirect effect was found between perceived quality of instruction and dropout via academic self-concept, subject interest and difficulties in regulating one's motivation. The relevance of perceived quality of instruction, self-concept, subject interest and difficulties in motivational regulation and consequences for dropout is illustrated.

Cell-instructive biomaterials in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

The field of biomaterials aims to improve regenerative outcomes or scientific understanding for a wide range of tissue types and ailments. Biomaterials can be fabricated from natural or synthetic sources and display a plethora of mechanical, electrical, and geometrical properties dependent on their desired application. To date, most biomaterial systems designed for eventual translation to the clinic rely on soluble signaling moieties, such as growth factors, to elicit a specific cellular response. However, these soluble factors are often limited by high cost, convoluted synthesis, low stability, and difficulty in regulation, making the translation of these biomaterials systems to clinical or commercial applications a long and arduous process. In response to this, significant effort has been dedicated to researching cell-directive biomaterials which can signal for specific cell behavior in the absence of soluble factors. Cells of all tissue types have been shown to be innately in tune with their microenvironment, which is a biological phenomenon that can be exploited by researchers to design materials that direct cell behavior based on their intrinsic characteristics. This review will focus on recent developments in biomaterials that direct cell behavior using biomaterial properties such as charge, peptide presentation, and micro- or nano-geometry. These next generation biomaterials could offer significant strides in the development of clinically relevant medical devices which improve our understanding of the cellular microenvironment and enhance patient care in a variety of ailments.

The Effect of COVID-19 Perceived Risk on Internet Addiction among College Students in China: An Empirical Study Based on the Structural Equation Model.

This study focused on COVID-19 perceived risk and Internet addiction among Chinese college students during the lockdown. On the basis of the Social Cognitive Theory, this study proposed a mediating model to evaluate the mediating role of difficulties in regulating emotion between the COVID-19 perceived risk and Internet addiction. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 690 college students during the COVID-19 lockdown in China. The results showed that the COVID-19 perceived risk was significantly positively associated with Internet addiction (r = 0.236, p < 0.001) and difficulties in emotion regulation (r = 0.220, p < 0.001), difficulties in emotion regulation was significantly positively associated with Internet addiction (r = 0.368, p < 0.001). The COVID-19 perceived risk had a significant and positive predictive effect on Internet addiction (β = 0.233, p < 0.001) among Chinese college students. The analysis of the mediation model showed that difficulties in emotion regulation partially mediated the relationship between COVID-19 perceived risk and Internet addiction (indirect effect value was 0.051 with 95% Confidence Interval ranging from 0.027 to 0.085). The findings not only enhanced our understanding of the internal influence mechanism of COVID-19 perceived risk on Internet addiction but also provided a practical basis for college education works. Finally, discussions and suggestions were provided on the basis of the results.

A behavioral and brain imaging dataset with focus on emotion regulation of women with fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, as well as numerous symptoms related to central sensitization such as: fatigue, cognitive disturbances, constipation/diarrhea and sensory hypersensitivity. Furthermore, depression and anxiety are prevalent comorbidities, accompanied by emotion processing and regulation difficulties. Although fibromyalgia physiopathology is still not fully understood, neuroimaging research methods have shown brain structural and functional alterations as well as neuroinflammation abnormalities. We believe that open access to data may help fibromyalgia research advance more. Here, we present an open dataset of 33 fibromyalgia female patients and 33 paired healthy controls recruited from a Mexican population. Dataset includes demographic, clinical, behavioural and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The MRI data consists of: structural (T1- and T2- weighted) and functional (task-based and resting state) sequences. The task was an emotion processing and regulation task based on visual stimuli. The MRI data contained in the repository are unprocessed, presented in Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) format and available on the OpenNeuro platform for future analysis.

GLOBAL CONSTITUTIONALISM AS A THINKING ABOUT CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES IN CONDITIONS OF EXTREME UNCERTAINTY: QUO VADIS?

The article considers the use of the phenomenology of global constitutionalism as thinking about constitutional values in the conditions of extreme uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and Ukraine's war with Russia.&#x0D; The author argues that despite the fact that the active process of globalization continues to rapidly affect and affect the structure of legal systems, and international law, unfortunately, is not always an effective tool for managing these changes contrary to their own principles and customs, to help him comes the phenomenology of global constitutionalism, which serves to limit state power (even democratic), applied at the state level, taking into account the principles of the rule of law, protection of human rights and democracy.&#x0D; It is argued that the relevance of lawyers' research on global constitutionalism, in particular the impact of globalization on the development of constitutional law, due to a number of factors, including the following: A) the subject of constitutional law in countries of the world depending on their economic development; B) the essence of constitutional control under conditions of extreme uncertainty becomes important.&#x0D; It is stated that one of the most important features of modern constitutionalism of Ukraine, first, is the autonomy of the regulation of constitutional proceedings. In conditions of uncertainty, Ukraine continues to carry out judicial reform, but the issue of improving the procedure for selecting judges to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine remains relevant; secondly, there are real difficulties in constitutional and legal regulation of administrative and territorial reform and risks to the formation of a possible policy of constitutional modernization of Ukraine in the territories occupied by the Russian Federation, especially the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine in digitalization. The formation of Ukrainian constitutionalism in the context of global digitalization should be facilitated by the consolidation of new requirements for law enforcement and law enforcement of constitutional and legislative guidelines in digital format; thirdly, in the process of globalization, the safeguards of the loss of national sovereignty and international legal personality of Ukraine should be the improvement and implementation of legislation on the procedural procedure for consideration by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine of cases on national security and state secrets.

How Does Cognitive Flexibility Associate with Depressive Symptoms? A Multiple Mediation Model Including Emotion Dysregulation and Problem-Solving

According to the cognitive-behavioral model of depression, inflexibility in thought processes increases symptoms by causing more negative emotions and behavioral problems. Previous studies have empirically shown that cognitive flexibility is negatively associated with difficulties in emotion regulation, inadequate problem-solving, and depressive symptoms. However, no research includes these variables together to the best of our knowledge. We aimed to clarify the relationships between these variables and test the mediating effect of emotion dysregulation and problem-solving between cognitive flexibility and depressive symptoms via multiple mediation analysis. 275 undergraduate students participated in this study. We used a self-report battery including the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Problem Solving Inventory, and Beck Depression Inventory to collect the data. We tested the hypotheses via Pearson correlation analysis and multiple mediation analysis. According to the results, higher levels of cognitive flexibility were significantly associated with lower depression, inadequate problem solving, and emotion dysregulation. Moreover, emotion dysregulation has a mediating role in the relationships between depressive symptoms and cognitive flexibility. Inadequate problem-solving, however, was not a significant mediator. Consisted with previous findings, our results supported the importance of cognitive flexibility and emotion dysregulation for depression. Our study demonstrated the pathways of these variables. Also, results indicated that different therapy approaches that address cognitive flexibility and emotion regulation (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotion-focused therapy) might effectively reduce depressive symptoms.

Prediction of binge-eating disorder based on symptoms of depression, emotion regulation, and psychological flexibility in women with type 2 diabetes

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes affects more than 90% of diabetic patients, which in addition to physical complications, is associated with psychological problems, such as binge-eating disorder. Diagnosing and treating binge-eating disorder can improve many comorbidities and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, this study aims to predict binge-eating disorder in women with type 2 diabetes based on symptoms of depression, emotion regulation, and psychological flexibility.&#x0D; Methods: The present descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 102 people with type 2 diabetes through the cooperation of centers related to diabetes and using social media in a targeted manner. Research tools included the Gormally et al. (1982) binge-eating, the Beck et al. (1996) depression, the Bond et al. (2011) acceptance and the practice, and Graz and Roemer (2004) difficulty in regulation of emotion questionnaires. The data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22 using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression.&#x0D; Results: The results show that the symptoms of depression, emotion regulation, and psychological flexibility could significantly (p &lt;0.001) predict binge-eating disorder. Among the predictor variables, depression symptoms with a prediction of 33% of the variance of binge-eating disorder, was the best predictor of the disorder in people with type 2 diabetes (p &lt;0.001).&#x0D; Conclusion: It can be concluded that early detection and treatment of depression symptoms in people with type 2 diabetes, can reduce binge-eating disorder in these people.

Psychological dynamics of generalized anxiety disorder in early adult

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is an anxiety disorder that interferes with social, work, and other bodily functions. This disorder usually appears in mid-teens to mid-twenties, with a higher percentage of women. There are several causes for the emergence of GAD, such as biological, psychological, and social factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the psychological dynamics of patients with GAD. The participant is a 24-year-old woman who is indicated to have GAD. The method used in this research is qualitative with a case study approach. Research participants were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using interviews, observations, and psychological test tools, including Graphic tests (WZT, HTP, BAUM, and DAP), DASS tests, and MCMI-IV. The results showed that the appearance of GAD symptoms experienced by participants could not be separated from the dependent personality type, who tended to be perfectionists, and difficulties in emotional regulation, sibling rivalry, as well as authoritarian and permissive-demanding parenting patterns. The stresses of life also contribute to the symptoms of GAD

Emotion Regulation Difficulties and Childhood Trauma are Associated with Alcohol Use Severity: A Comparison with Healthy Volunteers

Objective: Emotion regulation difficulties and the effect of childhood traumas on the etiology of alcohol use disorder are an important topic in the literature. This study aimed to evaluate patients with alcohol use disorder in terms of emotional control and childhood trauma and the difficulty in trauma and emotion regulation as a risk factor. Methods: In this study, 37 patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and 37 healthy volunteers were included. The participants were assessed with a 35-item sociodemographic data form, Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ-C), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-28), and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). All participants were interviewed based on DSM-5. Results: Participants with AUD had more difficulty in regulating emotions in all areas. clarity, awareness, impulse, nonacceptance, objectives, and strategies were deteriorated (p &amp;lt; 0.05). Patients with AUD had more childhood traumas. All trauma types, especially physical neglect and emotional abuse were more common in participants with AUD. Assessment of the traumas and emotion regulation revealed that emotional abuse increased the risk of AUD by 1.6 times (95% CI 1.025–2.801) and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies are linked to addiction severity.Conclusion: The maladaptive emotional strategies of patients with AUD were worse than those of healthy volunteers. Patients with AUD experienced more childhood traumas. Particularly, emotional abuse increased the risk of AUD. As a result, childhood traumas were more severe in patients with AUD, and they adversely affected emotion regulation strategies and increased addiction severity.

Quality of Parent-Child Relationship, Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Difficulties in University Students

Studies considered parent-child attachment a significant relationship that can have a great impact an adult’s life. However, despite the parent-child attachment, the quality of the parent-child relationship is important, which has a significant impact on children’s emotional, physical, and mental health. Objective: To find the relationship between the quality of the parent-child relationship and interpersonal difficulties with emotional regulation in university students. Methods: The Correlation research design was used for the quantitative method in the study. The study was carried out on 300 university students (males and females) with the age range of 18 to 25 years selected through stratified random sampling from private and government universities. Results: The quality of the parent-child relationship was observed to be a positive sign of emotional regulation and interpersonal difficulties in students. The current research also reveal that a negative or less satisfying relationship with their parents result in more issues regarding their emotions and relationships. Conclusions: Less satisfying parental relationships leads to various problems of psychological and social health of individuals.
