Remittance based economy of Nepal has been badly affected by the Corona virus pandemic. In this study, we analyze the household and social level use of remittance by the remittance recipient households before and after the pandemic. We adopted cross-sectional study design to collect data from 777 randomly selected respondents residing in Chautara Sngachwokgadhi (Mountain region), Galkot(Hill) and Mithila (Tarai) municipalities in Nepal. We used a reliable questionnaire tool having 0.8 cronbachalpha, and we visited the respondents from 6th June- 18th October 2022. The study found that the remittance recipient households have good access to households, educational, financial and health facilities. A significant amount of remittance also has been used to donate to the youth club, medical treatment seeker, school/college and community level (public moral hazard) after the Coronavirus pandemic. Remittance and agriculture were the major source of family income in each ecological region. However, remittance has failed to increase agriculture production and distributions (domestic household hazard) and also failed to increase entrepreneurship development in the local levels. This study can be a reference for developing evidence-based policies for minimizing public moral hazard and domestic household hazards caused by remittance in developing countries like Nepal.

There are many underlying factors those are compelling youths for selecting labor migration rather than continuing their higher education. Hence, to comprehend what factors aredeterring youths towards higher education in the context of Nepal, the studywas carried out. For that, researchers used a systematic review method and overviewed secondary sources likewise book, article, and research reports published in the similar area. Through this review, multiple and multi-dimensional factors i.e., social, cultural, economic, educational, political, environmental, and miscellaneous of youth labor migration were identified. In most cases,youths were compelled for the labor migration, however, in some cases, youth were migrated for pursuing education. Also, youth labor migration was found throughout the globe including Nepal. Finally, it was concluded that youth migration was varied and the context specific especially in the developed, developing, and underdeveloped countries, hence the trend and patterns of youth labor migration was diverse.

The present research investigates the performance of bentonite clay@biochar@magnetic nanocomposite in removing mercury (Hg 2+ ) ions from aqueous media. Bentonite clay@biochar@magnetic nanocomposite was characterized by BET, VSM, TEM, Mapping, EDX, SEM, FT-IR, XRD and Raman analyses. According to the results, the highest uptake e ciency of Hg 2+ was attained at pH 6, Hg 2+ concentration of 10 ppm, 80 min, and composite dose of 1.5 g/L. In these conditions, the uptake e ciency of bentonite@activated carbon@Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposite and bentonite were 98.78% and 97.67%, respectively, which are remarkable values. Also, the W max value for Hg 2+ removal using bentonite@biochar@magnetic nanocomposite and bentonite were 66.66 and 60.98 mg/g, respectively.Moreover, the uptake process of Hg 2+ ions using bentonite@biochar@magnetic nanocomposite and bentonite was spontaneous, physical, favorable and exothermic. Besides, the impact of various divalent ions such as Co 2+ , Cu 2+ , Pb 2+ , Ni 2+ , and Zn 2+ was studied on the elimination e ciency of Hg 2+ using bentonite and bentonite clay@biochar@magnetic sorbents. The results showed that Co 2+ and Zn 2+ ions have the highest and lowest interfering effects in the removal of Hg 2+ . Also, the reusability of adsorbents showed that they have high stability and can be used in at least 5 reuse cycles with high uptake e ciency. Additionally,
