Abstract:

Bamboo growing is strongly associated with farm size (landholding), wealth, household size, food sufficiency, irrigation facility, livestock owned, land tenure, household off-farm and on-farm incomes, physiography of the land, and access to forests. The landholding is the most important socioeconomic factor that influences households decision to grow bamboos. Bamboo growing also varies with ethnicity as socially and economically disadvantaged ethnic groups are less likely to grow bamboos on farmland than other ethnic groups. The literacy and age of the household heads are not strongly associated with bamboo growing on the farmland. Bamboo is the most commonly planted species in villages in the Midhills. They are the preferred species for planting, both on private land and in community forests. As timber is getting scarce, bamboo is increasingly used as a replacement for timber. They are also the best fodder species (particularly Bambusa nutans) in the Terai and the fifth best in the Midhills. The interest in bamboo planting is particularly high where there is better access to the markets and bamboos have already been identified as one of the important species for use in income generation programmes. There are many taboos, superstitions and beliefs, particularly in eastern Terai, against bamboo planting which prohibit households from further bamboo planting. Had there not been such beliefs, there could have been more bamboos on the farmlands of eastern Terai and Midhills than at present. Bamboo is also one of the most remarkable woody perennials in eastern Nepal. There are many households, both in the Terai and the Midhills, who are dependent on the income from bamboo craftmaking. Most of the traders are newcomers with lack of resources to expand the trade. Many bamboo growers who sold bamboos, craft makers and traders were not happy with their income and suggested various steps for improvement. There is also a need to review many of the HMGN policies as many of them contradict each other and are therefore unfavourable towards stimulating the growing of bamboos in Nepal. It is clear that a detailed development plan to improve the use of bamboo resources is needed. Socioeconomic research on bamboos should be extended to other regions of Nepal in order to inform the new development plan.

Abstract:

In part one, epidemiology of fasciolosis in eastern Nepal, a 19 months field survey on the epidemiology of fasciolosis is described. Four Lymnaea spp; L. auricularia race rufescens, L. auricularia sensu stricto, L. viridis and L. luteola were identified. L. auricularia race rufescens was the predominant species. The snail main habitats were spring or stream fed rice-fields, irrigation channels, ponds and road-side pools. The monsoon rains and rice cultivation practices contributed to the creation and expansion of the habitats. The snail population density was high during the dry period and declined with the onset of the monsoon. Snail egg masses and young snails were observed throughout the year. Mature Fasciola spp, infections were found in the hills from May to February and throughout the year in the Terai. In part two, experimental studies on pathogenesis of fasciolosis with special reference to its effects on productivity of ruminants is described. Monitoring included clinical, parasitological, haematological, biochemical and pathological observations. Pilot comparative studies in Scottish Blackface and Suffolk cross sheep conducted in Edinburgh indicated that F. gigantica was more pathogenic than F. hepatica. In another pilot experiment in Nepal using local Baruwal sheep, it was also found that very low infections with F. gigantica caused measurable production losses. Pathogenesis in goats was investigated using Nepalese hill goats. Infection caused production losses including weight loss. Burdens of more than 1.3 flukes/kg of initial liveweight produced clinical chronic fasciolosis. In part three, the relative merits of the current methodologies for speciation and differentiation of Fasciola spp. are reviewed. The development of species-specific (MHFh and MHFg) and cross-reactive (MHFx1 and MHFx2) DNA probes for the identification of Fasciola spp. are described. If used in conjunction these probes clearly differentiate F. hepatica and F. gigantica.

Abstract:

Malnutrition has long permeated Nepal, causing stunting and developmental delays in the youth. While there are many factors that contribute to malnutrition, early feeding practices, including breastfeeding and colostrum usage among Nepali mothers, . The objective of this study was to determine if there was a significant correlation between specific breastfeeding practices, the usage of colostrum to infants and other demographics, knowledge related to breast feeding, colostrum practices and cultural customs concerning the Nepali mothers. A survey was distributed to 94 Nepali women in six different regions of Eastern Nepal. The survey consisted of 64 questions related to demographics, practices concerning breastfeeding, breastfeeding knowledge, early feeding practices and usage of colostrum. Prenatal education was significantly related to colostrum knowledge score (p = 0.38). Hindu/Buddhist women were more likely to choose answers that aligned with research concerning the giving of food other than breastmilk (< 6 mos of age) and chose more answers that aligning with research on the knowledge score, than compared to Christian women (p = 0.005, p = 0.002, p = 0.003). Significant results also showed that Christian women are more likely to practice chappaudi (sleeping in an outside shed during menstruation) than compared to Hindu/Buddhist women (p = .007). These results contradict current literature. A limiting factor includes Christian women answering yes to the question, while handwriting that the practice is for Hindu women. Thus, the data may be skewed due to being unable to include these other hand-written information that the women provided. Further research needs to be explored comparing family’s income to usage of colostrum and breastfeeding practices. More research also needs to investigate how the health of the mother leads to malnutrition of the child.

Abstract:

Understanding the recent history of the Himalayan orogen not only helps elucidates near-surface convergence accommodation processes, but also provides constraints for geometric modification of earlier midcrustal structures. New ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar and fission track (FT) data from the former Himalayan metamorphic core exposed in the Kanchenjunga region of eastern Nepal help constrain the evolution and low temperature uplift history of this portion of the orogen. Within the Lesser Himalayan Sequence (LHS), new apatite FT dates, combined with existing apatite and zircon FT dates from the region, define general younging trends towards the north - up structural section - of ~2.9 to 1.3 Ma and ~6.2 to 4.6 Ma respectively. There appears to be a significant jump in apatite FT dates from 1.3 Ma to 2.4 Ma that is coincident with an abrupt change in existing muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages from the Proterozoic to the Cenozoic. This break in ages is consistent with the mapped location of the Main Central thrust (MCT) fault in the area. In structurally lower rocks in the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS), north of the MCT, trends in both muscovite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar and apatite FT continue to decrease to the north. These trends are interpreted to be consistent with the exhumation and uplift of these rocks associated with the growth of a duplex system within the LHS developed through underplating. Cooling rates across the mapped area indicate fast cooling in the GHS in early to mid Miocene, coupled with very slow cooling in the LHS. In the late Miocene to Pleistocene, cooling rates slow down in the GHS and increase in the LHS, such that they are similar. This is consistent with development of late-stage duplexing within the LHS at this time and the coupled exhumation of the GHS. Biotite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dates may indicate a complex history across the study area. Some biotite dates (~24-16 Ma) are older than nearby ²³²Th-²⁰⁸Pb monazite melt crystallization dates (~18-16 Ma). Previous studies have attributed similar old biotite dates to excess argon. It is possible, however, the old biotite dates indicate crystallization along the retrograde path prior to final melt crystallization.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis will be to explore conceptions of waste in Nepal’s rural village of Simigaau to understand what constitutes waste and in what ways it is critical to the community’s physical and cultural survival. Due to the contribution of many aspects of daily life in the creation of “waste” in Simigaau –what it is and what it means – I hope to use a whole systems approach to understand the multitude of factors that affect how villagers view waste and whether its value can provide insight into a local way of life. Moreover, I aim to explore whether a community’s waste – seen and unseen – provide insight into a local way of life and if so, how this insight may be applied to both Nepal at large and connotations of “waste” in the West.

Abstract:

This thesis is a documentation of the author's learning journey with the farmers, researchers and development agents in the eastern hills of Nepal.The purpose of the study was to find a solution to the problem of food security faced by the farmers in this area. The basic assumptions underpinning agricultural development in Nepal are that food security can be improved through the application of agricultural technologies and increasing production. The findings of this research question these assumptions.The study demonstrated that external changes which take place in the real world are connected to the internal changes which occur within the individuals and groups involved.An action research methodology was chosen to find alternative strategies to examine the current approaches to addressing the food security situation. The findings revealed three dimensions needing to be addressed to deal with food security at the farming household level. The fact that a collaborative partnership must be established between all the stakeholders involved in order to bring about improvements in the situation was revealed.This called for the conversion of 'experts' into 'co-partners' in the learning process. The learning journey showed that it is possible to initiate change, and the changes achieved indicate a huge potential for researchers and those interested in food security to make a real and lasting difference

Abstract:

Field observations of the Greater Himalayan Sequence in Eastern Nepal demonstrate a ductile, highly strained package of metamorphic rocks that show extensive evidence of crustal anatexis throughout. These can be distinguished from the Lesser Himalayan sequence below by a distinct reduction in metamorphic grade, an inverted metamorphic sequence and a high strain zone corresponding to the Main Central Thrust. Metamorphic studies are combined with geochronology to demonstrate a protracted period of crustal melting followed by rapid decompression from 18.7 Ma to 15.6 Ma. A metamorphic decompression rate is quantified at c.2mm/yr during this period. This is interpreted to represent exhumation of the Greater Himalayan Sequence by a process of ductile, channelised flow from the mid-crust beneath Tibet. Below a prominent band of kyanite gneiss, previously used to locate the Main Central Thrust, but here mapped within the Greater Himalayan Sequence, partial melting is still exhibited. Here monazites are dated at 10.6 Ma. In the Lesser Himalaya below, allanites record a similar 10.1 Ma event. This implies that following channel flow during the mid-Miocene, the channel widened in the lower-Miocene to incorporate a greater structural thickness. Following these two periods of exhumation and ductile extrusion, separated in time and space, Fission Track studies indicate that much slower, erosion driven exhumation proceeded, at <1 mm/yr. This rate increases slightly in the Pliocene, most likely in response to Northern Hemisphere glaciation; no difference in exhumation is seen across the Greater Himalayan Sequence with respect to the different, earlier, phases of ductile channel flow related exhumation. These results demonstrate the episodic nature of channel flow in the Himalaya and reconcile arguments about the position of the MCT in Eastern Nepal.

Full text

Abstract:

Every four years, in the middle of a cold winter night, devotees bearing images of 126 Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and other important deities assemble in the Nepalese city of Patan for an elaborate gift giving festival known as Samyak Mahādāna (“The Perfect Great Gift”). Celebrated by Nepal’s Newar Buddhist community, Samyak honors one of the Buddhas of the historical past called Dīpaṅkara. Dīpaṅkara’s importance in Buddhism is rooted in ancient textual and visual narratives that promote the cultivation of generosity through religious acts of giving (Skt. dāna). During Samyak, large images of Dīpaṅkara Buddha ceremoniously walk in procession to the event site, aided by a man who climbs inside the wooden body to assume the legs of the Buddha. Once arranged at the event, Dīpaṅkara is honored with an array of offerings until dusk the following day. This dissertation investigates how Newar Buddhists utilize art and ritual at Samyak to reenact and reinforce ancient Buddhist narratives in their contemporary lives. The study combines art historical methods of iconographic analysis with a contextual study of the ritual components of the Samyak Mahādāna to analyze the ways religious spectacle embeds core Buddhist values within in the multilayered components of art, ritual, and communal performance. Principally, Samyak reaffirms the foundational Buddhist belief in the cultivation of generosity (Skt. dāna pāramitā) through meritorious acts of giving (Skt. dāna). However, the synergy of image and ritual performance at Samyak provides a critical framework to examine the artistic, religious, and ritual continuities of past and present in the Newar Buddhist community of the Kathmandu Valley. An analysis of the underlying meta-narrative and conceptualization of Samyak suggests the construction of a dynamic visual narrative associated with sacred space, ritual cosmology, and religious authority. Moreover, this dissertation demonstrates the role of Samyak Mahādāna in constructing Buddhist identity in Nepal, as the festival provides an opportunity to examine how Newar Buddhists utilize art, ritual, and performance to reaffirm their ancient Buddhist heritage.

Abstract:

Ethnic identity plays a fundamental role in the political processes, development strategies and functioning of the state in the Himalayan areas of Sikkim, Darjeeling and eastern Nepal, which are geographically contiguous but politically separate. The eastern Himalayan borderland is a geographical continuum interconnected by the history of migration from Nepal, colonisation, settlement and in recent times by the political upheaval on the basis of ethnicity. Each of these areas has experienced different facets of Nepali identity politics, a trans-border phenomenon which has not only had political repercussions on a regional level but also contributed to the history and identity formation of the entire region. The Nepali ethnic group is an ethno-linguistic category, a meta-identity which subsumes numerous ethnic groups under it. It is organized around the Hindu caste system and unified by the Nepali language. Controversial in its origins, this ethnic group is now undergoing an intense redefinition leading to a variation in the political articulation of ethnicity. Based on qualitative data gathered in Sikkim, Darjeeling and east Nepal the present research is a comparative analysis of the nexus between ethnicity and politics in South Asia. This thesis contests the narrow, parochial and limited frameworks that have been used to study the region and highlights the enactment of politics in an area of high geo-political importance which is located at the periphery of the nation-state of both Nepal and India. The thesis narrates, discusses and analyses how Nepalis in Sikkim, Darjeeling and east Nepal use their ethnicity as a political resource, albeit in very different ways. The variety in political outcomes within a single ethnic group reveals the complex nature of ethnicity and the symbiotic relationship between ethnicity and politics. The case of the Nepalis of the eastern Himalayas is a study of the processes and manifestations of ethnic politics, the various structures and institutions that facilitate identity based politics but most importantly, the resurgence of ethnic politics in rapidly globalizing countries of South Asia.
