Hydrological extremes associated with climate change are becoming an increasing concern all over the world. Frequent flooding, one of the extremes, needs to be analyzed while considering climate change to mitigate flood risk. This study forecast streamflow and evaluate risk of flooding in the Neuse River, North Carolina considering future climatic scenarios, and comparing them with an existing Federal Emergency Management Agency study. The cumulative distribution function transformation method was adopted for bias correction to reduce the uncertainty present in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) streamflow data. To calculate 100-year and 500-year flood discharges, the Generalized Extreme Value (L-Moment) was utilized on bias-corrected multimodel ensemble data with different climate projections. Out of all projections, shared socio-economic pathways (SSP5-8.5) exhibited the maximum design streamflow, which was routed through a hydraulic model, the Hydrological Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS), to generate flood inundation and risk maps. The result indicates an increase in flood inundation extent compared to the existing study, depicting a higher flood hazard and risk in the future. This study highlights the importance of forecasting future flood risk and utilizing the projected climate data to obtain essential information to determine effective strategic plans for future floodplain management.

Background: Pregnancy and childbirth are momentous events, with deeply personal and social significance in the lives of women, families, and communities. Around the world, in every country and community, pregnancy and childbirth are immensely important events in the lives of women and families. So, the study aimed to assess the perception regarding respectful maternity care among postnatal mothers. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among postnatal mothers at Tertiary Centre Hospital in Koshi Province. The study was started after acquiring approval from the Institutional Review Committee of Nobel Medical College. Data was collected using a face-to-face interview technique with a standardized tool from June 2022 to September 2022.  A total of 102 postnatal mothers were taken as a sample by using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was done by descriptive study. Results: A total of 102 respondents participated in the study of which 62.7% had received overall dimensions of experienced Respectful Maternity Care (RMC) with a mean score ± SD (51.91 ± 5.56). Likewise, among the four dimensions of RMC, the highest average mean score of 81.96 is observed in the discrimination-free care with an SD of 11.08, where 100 % of the women claimed being received discrimination-free care. Conclusion: There was a significant association of RMC with residence and the number of ANC visits. Even though RMC prioritizes removing disrespectful and abusive settings from healthcare facilities, one-half of participants felt that they had not utilized all of RMC's offerings.

Background: Professional values are the basis to professional nursing practices. Professional values can be challenged by the variety of situation due to increasing globalization, diversity and health variance and can generate ethical dilemmas in health care delivery. Nursing students must be familiar to the professional value of the profession in which they are enrolled to imply the effective care to the patients. Material and Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study design was done to assess the Professional values among undergraduate Nursing students in Nobel Medical College Teaching Hospital. A total of 119 nursing students were included in the study using total enumerative sampling techniques. Nurses Professional Values Scale (NPVS-3) was used to assess professional values among the Nursing Students. The data were analysed using SPSS version 23. For descriptive statistics frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation was calculated and for inferential statistics Pearson’s correlation test was used. Results: The total mean score of professional values from the nursing student’s outlook was high (115.24 ± 13.50) and also it reveals that 51.3% of the nursing students were conscious of professional values about nursing profession. The mean score was high (42.34 ±5.11) on caring sub-dimension than Activism and Professionalism. There was statistically significant relationship between the total score of professional values with Age. Conclusion: Findings of the study showed that the overall nursing professional value was high and the mean score was high on caring sub-dimension whereas professionalism and activism has been given less importance by the nursing students in comparison with caring domain.
