Azalli Bijay Lal Pradhan(Azalli Bijay Lal Pradhan ),Hemant Kothari(Hemant Kothari ),Tika Ram Chalise(Tika Ram Chalise ) KINFORMS 2023 Management Review Vol.18 No.1
Good governance is foremost in order to develop good corporate working culture. Governance includes all formal and informal rules under certain principles of accountability, transparency, and the rule of law. The implementation of corporate governance certainly influences the performance of the firm. This study focuses on the corporate governance practices implemented by the commercial banks of Nepal and their impact on the bank’s financial performance taking 11(2010-2020) years secondary data. The data were collected from Banking and Financial Statistics published by Nepal Rastra Bank. In addition to this, different published articles, reports, books, and magazines were also used. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the significance and importance of corporate governance in Nepalese Commercial Banks, where the dependent variable used was financial performance (ROA ROE and MB ratio), whereas the independent variables were Board Size, Independent directors, Board Meeting, Bank size, foreign ownership, government ownership, Bank Age. The result shows a positive relation of Age, Board size, independent directors, foreign ownership, firms’ size with the performance of the bank, whereas board meeting and government ownership shows negative relation.
Righting Precarious Lives: Violence, Vulnerability and Responsibility for the Other
Jajati K. Pradhan 부산대학교 한국민족문화연구소 2017 Localities Vol.7 No.-
As we live in the world today, as we experience our life in our global connectedness, we very much come witness a more vulnerable and uncertain world structured by violence (both material and ideological) across the matrix of race, class, sex, colour, nation and other identitarian and differential categories leading to the precariousness of life. In context of the governance of everyday life and in such differential arrangement certain lives are recognized as livable lives (and, so, valuable lives) while others are not in the normative frame of the “human” owing to the devaluation and dehumanization of these lives who have always been branded as (human) Others and, as a result, subjected to violence, vulnerability and precarity. The critical implication of such a state of life is profound in the sense that it imposes ethical obligation upon the global community to respond and redress with collective responsibility the specters of injustice and suffering. At the center of this (in)human state of affairs lies a certain idea and operation of the “human” or “Humanism” premised on the Enlightenment and its legacy that has come under scrutiny in recent critical humanistic scholarship. This presses the need for rethinking and remaking of the human through an alternative scheme of thought, knowledge and subject-production toward an ethically grounded collective mode of living through the acknowledgement of interdependency and relationality. Informed by this theoretical optic and drawing on the ethical scholarship of Derrida, Butler and Jajati K. Pradhan Levinas, specifically their critical take on violence and responsibility, this paper argues that to resist and redress violence it is critically imperative to work toward a relational social ontology by reworking the human subjectivity for the collective wellbeing of all (precarious) lives.
Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Urinary Bladder Managed by Laparoscopic Partial Cystectomy
Manas Ranjan Pradhan,Priyadarshi Ranjan,Ram Nawal Rao,Saurabh Sudhir Chipde,Krishna Pradhan,Rakesh Kapoor 대한비뇨의학회 2013 Investigative and Clinical Urology Vol.54 No.11
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder is a rare mesenchymal tumor with uncertain malignant potential. It often mimics soft tissue sarcomas both clinically and radiologically. Surgical resection in the form of partial cystectomy or transurethral resection remains the mainstay of treatment. Herein we report the case of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a young girl, which was managed by laparoscopic partial cystectomy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of laparoscopic management of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder.
Dissolution Kinetics of Complex Sulfides Using Acidophilic Microorganisms
Pradhan, Debabrata,Kim, Dong Jin,Chaudhury, Gautam Roy,Sohn, Jeong Soo,Lee, Seoung Won The Japan Institute of Metals 2010 Materials transactions Vol.51 No.2
<P>Bioleaching studies were conducted to evaluate a complex sulfide concentrate using an acidophilic microorganism. The leaching kinetics were found to vary based on pulp density, Fe and pH. In addition, the leaching efficiency increased as the Fe(II) concentration increased up to 20 kg·m<SUP>−3</SUP>, after which it decreased due to an increase in iron precipitation. Furthermore, the bacterial activity was good based on observation of the iron oxidation rate and pH and Eh studies. The leaching efficiencies decreased below 2 and 5% (w/v) in the pH and pulp density studies, respectively. Furthermore, the XRD analyses revealed the presence of various product layers, while the SEM-EDX analyses showed partial contact between different sulfide minerals that resulted in formation of a galvanic couple. The dissolution rate followed a product diffusion model. The diffusivity of Fe(III) for chalcopyrite and sphalerite were calculated.</P>
Free vibration of functionally graded thin elliptic plates with various edge supports
Pradhan, K.K.,Chakraverty, S. 국제구조공학회 2015 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.53 No.2
In this article, free vibration of functionally graded (FG) elliptic plates subjected to various classical boundary conditions has been investigated. Literature review reveals no study has been performed based on functionally graded elliptic plates till date. The mechanical kinematic relations are considered based on classical plate theory. Rayleigh-Ritz technique is used to obtain the generalized eigenvalue problem. The material properties of the FG plate are assumed to vary along thickness direction of the constituents according to power-law form. Trial functions denoting the displacement components are expressed in simple algebraic polynomial forms which can handle any edge support. The objective is to study the effect of geometric configurations and gradation of constituent volume fractions on the natural frequencies. New results for frequency parameters are incorporated after performing a test of convergence. A comparison study is carried out with existing literature for validation in special cases. Three-dimensional mode shapes for circular and elliptic FG plates are also presented with various boundary conditions at the edges.
Fabrication of a uniformly sized fenofibrate microemulsion by membrane emulsification
Pradhan, Roshan,Lee, Dong Won,Choi, Han-Gon,Yong, Chul Soon,Kim, Jong Oh Informa UK, Ltd. 2013 Journal of microencapsulation Vol.30 No.1
<P>Fenofibrate-loaded microemulsions composed of Labrafil M 1944 CS, Capryol PGMC and fenofibrate as the dispersed phase and Labrasol in demineralised water as the continuous phase were prepared by utilising a Shirasu-porous-glass (SPG) membrane emulsification technique. The process parameters were optimised by adjusting the feed pressure (15-45 kPa), agitator speed (250-800 rpm) and temperature of the continuous phase (25-45°C). As a result, narrowly distributed microemulsions were obtained via SPG membrane emulsification at an agitator speed of 250 rpm, a feed pressure of 30 kPa and a continuous phase temperature of 25°C. Furthermore, TEM images clearly showed that the microemulsion prepared by SPG membrane emulsification had a uniform, spherical morphology with a narrow size distribution. Our results indicated that the SPG membrane emulsification technique is highly efficient for the preparation of narrowly distributed microemulsions with relatively smaller particle sizes compared with the common stirring method.</P>
Use of OSL and TL of Electronic Components of Portable Devices for Retrospective Accident Dosimetry
Pradhan, A.S.,Lee, J.I.,Kim, J.L. Trans Tech Publications, Ltd. 2013 Defect and Diffusion Forum Vol.347 No.-
<P>Growing apprehensions of radiological accidents and terroristic attacks have intensified research efforts to find materials with appropriate radiation sensitivity that are carried close to human body, are ubiquitously available and which can be used as fortuitous dosimeters in rapid determination of doses of individuals after radiation exposure. In this respect, thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of chip cards and electronic components of personal objects have been recently evaluated by researchers in several countries. OSL and TL signal of chip cards is attributed to SiO2 grains contained in the epoxy layers used for controlling the thixotropic properties whereas the radiation induced signal in electronic components (resistors, resonators, capacitors, ICs, antenna switches, etc.) of personal objects (mobile phones, USB flash drive, MP3 players, etc.) is attributed to the ceramic contents, especially to Al2O3 based substrates.</P>
