This paper concerns a new kind of fractional q-differential equation of arbitrary order by combining a multi-point boundary condition with an integral boundary condition. By solving the equation which is equivalent to the problem we are going to investigate, the Green’s functions are obtained. By defining a continuous operator on a Banach space and taking advantage of the cone theory and some fixed-point theorems, the existence of multiple positive solutions for the BVPs is proved based on some properties of Green’s functions and under the circumstance that the continuous functions f satisfy certain hypothesis. Finally, examples are provided to illustrate the results.

The more common approaches used in the SCM consider only the physical logistic operations and ignore the financial aspects of the supply chain. The main objective to incorporate financial aspects in supply chain management is to strengthen managerial decisions concerning financial flows in supply chains, while empirical knowledge about financial supply chain management (FSCM) is in its early stages. This paper presents a model for FSCM which financial planning in addition to operation planning is decided in it. The main contribution of this paper is to define two approaches for Financial Supply Chain Management and to compare them. This financial approaches are: Traditional financial approach and new financial approach. Traditional financial approach integrates physical goods flows and financial flows. New financial approach considers in making decisions other financial indicators such as market to book value, liquidity ratios, capital structure ratios, and return on equity, sales margin, turnover ratios and stock security ratios, among others. Moreover, the new approach applies the change in equity instead of the traditional approach measures of profit as the objective function to be maximized in the presented model. To show the attributes of the presented approaches, the results of the new approach and the traditional approach is compared. The findings indicate that the traditional approach leads to lower change in equity compared to the financial approach. Also, the results clearly reveal the better improvement of using the new approach over the traditional approach, and convince the decision makers to take advantage of the new approach

Food security is the foremost need of every human society. It is a fundamental right and government responsibility but still food insecurity is prevalent in rural areas of least developed nations. To cope with food insecurity, undertaking diverse income generating activities is common as well as key strategy adopted by rural people. The objective of this study is to assess rural livelihood and food security status of a remote island named Srilanka Tapu of Sunsari district. A random sampling technique was used to collect primary data from 40 rural household heads using semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive methods were used for analyzing. The findings revealed that the food security situation of the Tapu is insecure. Most basic infrastructures and social services needed for people livelihood such as road, electricity sufficient food availability, education, healthcare, sanitation, etc. were found to be extremely poor. Most of the households are small scale farmers involving themselves in diverse livelihood activities which are mostly temporary, low-skilled and low paying. However, people are fulfilling their food needs at every cost but are highly vulnerable to food insecurity. Also, their lives security is equally vulnerable because of disastrous Koshi River flooding which occurs every year in the Tapu. The findings therefore critically suggest that food security of remote and vulnerable human settlements should be at top priority in policy formulation and implementation level. The study also recommends a need for an in-depth research for making evidence based policy interventions for improvement of diversify rural livelihood along with sustainable environment.

After designing and implementing several iterations of implantations of augmented reality(AR) in tourism, this paper takes a deep look into design principles and implementation strategies of using AR at destination tourism settings. The study looks to define augmented tourism from past implementations as well as several cases uses designed and implemented for tourism. The discussion leads to formation of frameworks and best practices for AR as well as virtual reality(VR) to be used in tourism settings. Some main affordances include guest autonomy, customized experiences, visitor data collection and increased electronic word-of-mouth generation for promotion purposes. Some challenges found include the need for high levels of technology infrastructure, low adoption rates or ‘buy-in’ rates, high levels of calibration and customization, and the need for maintenance and support services. Some suggestions are given as to how to leverage the affordances and meet the challenges to implementing AR for tourism.

The present study aims at finding out the trends and major attractions of tourism in Nepal. It is an article which is expected to motivate and attract the visitors who have keen interest once to visit Nepal. Tourism comprises the human activities of moving or travelling from one place to another either within a country or to other countries for pleasure, conference, business, pilgrimage or for other purposes. Tourism history in Nepal goes back to the Lichhavi dynasty when Manjushree a Chinese traveler came to Nepal for the first time. Though the history of tourism is long in Nepal, it got developed since 1950s only. Since then, visitors for various purposes have been visiting Nepal. Nepal has abundance opportunities of flourishing tourism industry which can be the backbone of the country’s economy. Nepal, though, is small in area in the world map; it has spellbinding natural beauty, unique cultural heritage, multi-language, multi-ethnicity, multireligion, conducive climate and tourism friendly environment due to which it has become the ultimate destination for travelling. The trends of tourist arrival entail that the flow of tourists is remarkably increasing every year from all over the worlds mostly for pleasure like trekking, mountaineering, sightseeing, jungle safari etc. Thus, the government of Nepal should make further tourism friendly policy with infrastructure development mainly in remote areas of Nepal so that poverty can be eliminated from the country.

With mounting concerns over the state of our planet, there is continuing demand that chemists and chemical engineers should develop greener chemical processes and products.
