Renewable energy sources are likely to become prominent in the future due to less environmental impact and energy cost escalation. However, due to its intermittent essence, it encourages us to integrate various renewable energy resources to improve the reliability and quality of power supply to the consumer. Henceforth, this paper emphasizes the integration of various renewable energy sources (RES) such as - photovoltaic (PV), wind energy (WE) and hydro-electric grid (HEG) systems through software simulation. The purpose of this research was to compare the end user power quality and reliability between isolated mode and integrated mode operation of the power system through the result analysis in MATLAB simulation. In this qualitative study, the required data on wind and solar of a particular place, Samdrup Jongkhar (Bhutan) were collected in the form of satellite recorded data (NASA and SolarGIS). The result from this study highlights the nature of energy output from isolated-mode operated power plants and integrated power plant systems. From the result analysis, it has been shown that the quality and reliability of energy output from an integrated power system is much higher as compared to the isolated-mode operated power plant.

Climate change is a growing threat of current time and the future generations. Contribution from manmade activities is observed increasingly, posing the threats to mankind as well as the environment. With advancement of socioeconomic development of the country, there arises a series of challenges associated with it. The emissions from the developmental activities and the consequences are vital to be monitored and timely corrective actions are needed. Thus, climate change is the greatest threats at present time and has a series of effects if the trends of activities continue as usual. Research made use of primary data which are both qualitative and quantitative in nature to understand the issues of climate change, policy intervention and the implementation, especially in the case of Bhutan. This study showed that one such growing threat of emissions and effect to climate change are increasing number of vehicles making transport sectors as strong contributors of emissions (esp. Greenhouse Gas (GHG)). With pace of development, there are positive indicators of per capita GDP growth which increases the purchasing power and affordability of individuals. This linkage is visible in the trends of current rise in ownership of vehicles with even sharp rise noticed in developing countries like Bhutan. Electric vehicles are found to be promising interventions in growing transport sectors. To curb the issues of rise in the number of vehicles and provide a conductive platform for the purchase and use of electric vehicles, a right policy intervention seems instrumental. A small landlocked country Bhutan is remarked to practice guided policy interventions, backed by its unique developmental philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH) that aimed for holistic socioeconomic development. Such measures of balancing societal and developmental activities seem to track its approach in a timely manner to make the policy and support mechanism favorable for promotion of the green transport system in Bhutan.

This study's main goal is to investigate how socio-demographic factors affect employees' Emotional Intelligence (EI), particularly in Kathmandu valley organizations. Cross-sectional, the quantitative study design was used; convenience sampling techniques and the sample size were calculated using Cochran's formula. However, the instruments tested content validity, factor analysis, reliability, and a pilot test. There were 35 EI questions, and socio-demographic features (gender, age, work experience, qualification, marital status, and EI training). Descriptive, Regression, and ANOVA test were utilized to accomplish the goal. The findings reveled that there was a significant relationship between EI with work experiences, EI training, marital status, and social media engagement. In this regards, researchers suggested that; EI is a skill that can be acquired, researchers suggest that; organizations should create a culture where emotional intelligence can be fostered. Factors such as social media engagement, work experiences, and EI training, play a role in an employee's success.

With the advancement in technology and rapid performance of low heat emitting light sources LED in recent years has taken its place to illuminate various structures. A significant lighting intervention is seen in the historic sites that were previously left without any illumination schemes in Nepal. Illuminating a cultural and heritage site is a very difficult task where different aspects have to be analyzed and several considerations have to be made to achieve a feasible and sustainable lighting scheme. Historical buildings in Nepal are made of bricks and wooden frames to which integrating a modern lighting system is difficult. This paper presents the aspects, considerations and lighting simulation schemes to design a lighting scheme for a historic site in Kathmandu Valley. The lighting is being implemented in the site being restored. This paper also presents the practicability of installations and constraints during the lighting of historic sites in Nepal. The aspect and considerations taken are extensible to all similar cultural heritage sites, and also existing old buildings.

Nepal is an ideal destination for individuals who value an experience of culture, adventure, mesmerizing scenarios, and a variety of architecture. Tourism is one of the major industries of Nepal, so it is necessary to promote the tourism industry. One possible means is to undertake appropriate and scientific intervention in illumination. This study focuses on the analysis of the current lighting scenario of historic and urban tourist destinations of Nepal. Most of the tourist attractions or tourist residing vicinities seemed to not be properly and adequately lighted. The study identified several reasons for inadequate lighting in places that are supposed to be lit adequately such as streets, pathways, squares, heritage sites, temples, and monuments. Furthermore, identified issues in the current lighting practices comprise light pollution, glare, inefficient luminaires, and a lack of maintenance. The lighting preference of tourists and dwellers/facility owners/caretakers were studied and any mismatch between them was identified. The study also conducted a survey on the status of lighting practices, the opinion of the stakeholders, and the feasibility and need for installation of luminaires in different places of the historic and touristic site.
