Abstract:

This paper is an outcome of M.Sc. dissertation work carried out by second author during 2014 in Bagmati River, Kathmandu, Nepal. Diatom samples were collected by scraping stones with the toothbrush, squeezing macrophytes and sucking by dropper from three different sites (Mulkharka, Gokarna, Guheshwori-Pashupatinath) along the river during summer, rainy and winter seasons and studied thoroughly in the Phycology Researh Laboratory, Department of Botany, Post Graduate Campus, Biratnagar. A total 48 diatom taxa belonging to 25 genera and 12 families were enumerated. Among them, 20 diatoms were reported first time from Nepal viz., Fragilaria vaucheriae, Achnanthes inflata, Planothidium lanceolatum, Eunotia botuliformis, Gyrosigma scalproides, Stauroneis smithii, Sellaphora capitata, Neidium ampliatum, Navicula escambia, Pinnularia cf divergens, P. grunowii, Gomphonema acidoclinatum, G. gandhii, G. pseudoaugur, G. rhombicum, Cymbella turgidula, Encyonema hustedtii, E. ventricosum, Epithemia adnata, and Surirella angusta. Further extensive studies are essential to understand more about new and interesting diatoms of this river.

Abstract:

This study analyzes the effect of migration on the left-behind family members in Nepal especially focusing on the family structure, livelihood, education, aging parents, reproductive health, and marital relationship. The review was done based on the published journal articles, dissertations, and organizational reports from 2015-2020 to explore the areas impacted by the migration. Seven thematic areas emerged and found both positive and adverse effects and association of migration on left behind family members of the migrants. The review also found the need for further research on the ways of communicating and supporting between migrants and left behind family members to reduce the adverse effect of the migration on the left behind members of the family. Furthermore, field studies can concentrate on ways to enable women to learn skills, techniques and technology to increase production and diversify livelihoods.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the possibilities and challenges through the impact of using improved seeds technologies on crop production particularly in the case of the eastern hilly area of Nepal. The study applied househod questionnaire survey, key informant survey and field observation to collect relevant information. The study conducted in 30 percent (180hss) in total (601hhs) of three altitude belts such as upper, middle and lower, ranging from 300 to 2,250 masl along the Koshi-highway. Secondary data were gathered from previous research journals, dissertations and official records. This paper has revealed that improved seeds technology is known as well known and profitable technology for the promotion of both fruits and crops farming in the study area. More than 84 percent (152hhs) farmers have used this as a useful and profitable innovation. Despite various problems, the attraction of farmers is gradually increasing towards this technology. The maximum effort of the farmers seems to be use newly developed hybrid seeds in their agricultural works as far as possible. Although it was introduced through the inspiration of local research centers at first time, the role of neighbours, friends/ relatives and television programs seems to be significant respectively in its development and expansion of this technology in the study area. Less tasty, lack of proper knowledge to use this technology, high investment and lack of immunity are major identified problems associated with this technology.

Abstract:

Educational satisfaction determines the quality of education system which interns affects the performance and achievement of students during study and finally future professional competencies. The objectives of this study were to identify the perceived status of satisfaction on educational conditions and teaching-learning environment and associated factors of it among the public health undergraduates. This was the descriptive cross sectional study carried out among 384 undergraduate students of public health studying in final year/semester of three universities of Nepal using self administered questionnaire. The result of the study showed that satisfactions on various components are below than average. Among the satisfied components, the major were in case of duration of course (46.1%), teaching skills of part time teacher (39.1%), curriculum and overall course of study (36.2%), research/dissertation guidance (34.6%) and teaching skills of full time teacher (33.6%). The satisfaction level was least in case of result timing/procedure (14.1%), tuition fee (23.7%), examination procedure (26.3%) and evaluation system (27.1%). Ethnicity, educational background, course duration, types of teacher, availability of books in library and availability of research papers/journals were found associated with educational satisfaction. The study concluded low educational satisfaction among public health under graduate students. It is recommended to take immediate action for improvements of different components of education system like curriculum structure & contains, teaching methodology, teaching learning materials, admission and examination procedure.

Abstract:

The Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS) under Tribhuwan University (TU) has been carrying out various disciplinary and system research works through post-graduate students' research and publishing their findings through the M.Sc.Ag and Ph.D. thesis dissertations. Various thesis written by researchers under IAAS were collected and the appraisal of pathological research works on major cereals, vegetable crops, legume crops, oilseed crops and high-value crops along with ideas on management practices was done with the help of a thorough literature review. Data were gathered from IAAS/TU libraries, Rampur Library, Kritipur library, GAASC library and IAAS journals. A total of 68 types of research were conducted at IAAS. It is revealed that major diseases associated with cereals area brown spot of rice, rice blast, yellow rust of wheat, helminthosporium leaf blight of wheat, spot blotch of wheat and leaf blast of finger millet. Similarly, diseases of vegetables include late blight of potato, a white mold of french beans. The major diseases of legumes are wilt of lentil & chickpea, powdery mildew of pea, anthracnose of soybean and those of oilseeds are mainly leaf blights. Large cardamom, greatly known as high- value crop, is found to be suffered from Chirkey Foorkey and leaf blight diseases. Fungal pathogens cause most of the diseases in almost all crops. The management practices at their best results included the use of biological agents along with commonly available fungicides. The study found out a research gap in agricultural pathology as well. It also luminated the future area of research works that is lacking in current research works

Abstract:

This paper is an outcome of my MPhil dissertation, in which I was engaged in transformative research practice to critically look into the learning practices that I followed in my non/academic journey from my childhood education to my MPhil research period. The learning practices can be inevitable approaches to transformative learning but might not have been given a space in the educational context of Nepal. Keeping this in consideration, I, as a transformative teacher-researcher, attempt to re-conceptualize learning practices in Nepal by breaking the beliefs taken for granted that learning takes place only within the classroom guided by teachers’ pedagogical practices. In other words, I make an argument for the approaches to transformative learning apart from classroom pedagogy. In doing so, I reflect on my learning journey by responding to the guiding research question, ‘How did I adopt transformative learning practices apart from classroom pedagogy from my childhood education to MPhil research?’ For this, I engage in critical self-reflection on my learning practices using a multi-paradigmatic (interpretivism, criticalism, postmodernism) research approach and autoethnography as a research method to capture my autobiographical learning journey from childhood education to my MPhil degree. I conclude the paper by providing my transformative learning practices: learning beyond the classroom context, learning through critical reflection, learning through a disorienting dilemma, learning through writing about self and others, learning through perspectival meaning-making, and learning through envisioning by critically looking through the lens of knowledge constitutive interests and transformative theories. The theories help me in the process of analyzing, interpreting, and making meaning of my experience. Further, the theories support me to orient my arguments toward transformative education by deconstructing the taken-for-granted teaching and learning practices of teachers, practitioner-researchers, and educators in the context of Nepal

Abstract:

Efforts to address global mental health disparities have given new urgency to longstanding debates on the relevance of cultural variations in the experience and expression of distress for the design and delivery of effective services. This scoping review examines available information on culture and mental health in Nepal, a low-income country with a four-decade history of humanitarian mental health intervention. Structured searches were performed using PsycINFO, Web of Science, Medline, and Proquest Dissertation for relevant book chapters, doctoral theses, and journal articles published up to May 2017. A total of 38 publications met inclusion criteria (nine published since 2015). Publications represented a range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, cultural psychiatry, and psychology and explored culture in relation to mental health in four broad areas: (1) cultural determinants of mental illness; (2) beliefs and values that shape illness experience, including symptom experience and expression and help-seeking; (3) cultural knowledge of mental health and healing practices; and (4) culturally informed mental health research and service design. The review identified divergent approaches to understanding and addressing mental health problems. Results can inform the development of mental health systems and services in Nepal as well as international efforts to integrate attention to culture in global mental health.

Abstract:

The study focuses on the possibilities and threats of using plant protection measures on crop production particularly in the eastern hills of Nepal. Relevant data were collected from the interview, key informant survey and field observation. For this, 30 percent (180hhs) sample households were selected from three altitude belts such as upper, middle and lower, ranging from 300 to 2,250 masl along the Koshi-highway. It has a wide range of climates, ranging from sub-tropical to alpine with monsoon precipitation in the summer three and half months and therefore diversity in flora and fauna, and people. Similarly, secondary data were gathered from previous research journals, dissertations and official records. This paper showed that plant protection measures are known as important technology for protection and promotion of both cash and cereal crops in this area. More than 72 percent (130hhs) farmers have been using this technology as a new innovation. The attraction of farmers towards traditional measures seems to be gradually increasing however; the newly developed measures are accepted as a necessary evil. The maximum effort of farmers seems to reduce the use of newly developed measures as far as possible. Thus, the use of traditional measures is as the wishes of the farmers, while the adoption of newly developed protection measures is found to be unintentional. But there is no possibility of reducing the use of these measures even if farmers want to at present. Lacks of timely identification of crop disease, negative impact of chemical pesticides on human health, lack of proper knowledge to use such technologies and inadequate supply of such technologies on time are major identified problems associated with this topic at present situation.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper examines comparability of descriptive grammars across typologically different languages. Focusing on the Nepal Himalayas, which has high language diversity that extends beyond areal, genetic, and historical categorization, the paper examines similarities across grammars and the influences motivating these. It reports on the construction and use of a database comprising materials from 18 descriptive grammars of Tibeto-Burman languages of Nepal written over a 30-year period. This includes a small sub-database of metadata noting grammarian linguistic training, career affiliations, and dissertation supervisors and a larger sub-database of fully tagged tables of contents for each of the grammars. The overarching relational database links sections containing similar content, enabling search functions to explore the locations of similar information and feature labels across grammars in the database. While some grammar-features in the corpus reflect broader structural properties across grammars, findings indicate strong local influences. We find evidence of three foundational linguistic “schools” connecting the structural organization of the grammars across multiple generations of linguists, correspondences across chapter titles, sections, as well as school-influenced organization of verbal paradigms, treatment of marginal topics, and terminological choices.

Abstract:

The use of new technologies issue in agricultural sector is the global concern of the current days. This paper attempts to assess about the knowledge, attitude and practice of farmers related to the use of chemical fertilizers in their agricultural works in the case of eastern hills of Nepal. The study applied household questionnaire survey, key informant survey, focus group discussion and field observation to collect relevant information. The study conducted in 30 percent (180hss) in total (601hhs) of three altitude belts such as upper, middle and lower, ranging from 300 to 2,250 masl along the Koshi-highway. It has a wide range of climates, ranging from sub-tropical to alpine with monsoon precipitation in the summer three and half months. Secondary data were gathered from previous research journals, dissertations and official records. This paper has showed that chemical fertilizer technology is well known technology for the protection and promotion of fruits, crops and vegetable in the study area. Around 79 percent (142hhs) farmers have used this as an useful and profitable technique. Despite various problems, the practice of this technology is gradually increasing in this area and the maximum practice is concentrated with vegetable farming. Although it was introduced through the inspiration of local research centers at first time, the role of neighbours, friends/ relatives and television programs seems to be significant respectively in its development and expansion in the study area. This technology is the choice of the farmers and also they have positive attitude towards it but the amount of adoption is declined through the negative impact of unscientific practice in the actual field.
