Title : Access to and Control Over Household Resources: A Consistency Check Using Gender Analysis and Household Survey Data Material Type: printed text Authors: Durga Devkota, Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 98-102 p General note: Research note Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Gender analysis, household survey, triangulation Abstract: A study was conducted during 1998 covering three Village Development Committees (VDCs) of
Chitwan district, Nepal, to examine the consistency of results if carried out independently using
formal and informal methods of information collection. Gender analysis (access and control
profiles), and a face-to-face household survey (n = 123 households) were employed for this
purpose. Gender differences in access to and control over household resources was studied.
Results showed a consistent response from both household survey and gender analysis for most
of the parameters studied, such as access to agriculture extension and veterinary services,
participation in training, and community work. Gender response for control over resources, such
as income from small animals was also similar from both methods. However, some of the
parameters were not consistent in response. For example, there was no participation of women in
control over income from cash crops and cereal crops and large animals as strongly indicated by
gender analysis, which was not visible in the case of household survey. This raises a question
about the reliability of using only one approach of information collection for rural development
research. On the basis of these results, we suggest a combine approach of quantitative and
qualitative methods of data collection, which could be more reliable, informative and
appropriate. The use of multiple methods also allows the researcher to cross-reference in order to
validate the trustworthiness of information.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=53

Title : Buckwheat diversity in Nepal in the context of morphological, biochemical and Molecular analysis Material Type: printed text Authors: H.P Bimb, Author Pagination: 146 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Biochemical, buckwheat, diversity, molecular analysis, morphology, Nepal Abstract: Landraces and wild relative of crop species are regarded as the indispensable gene sources for future genetic improvement. For effective conservation of genetic variation, it is necessary to identify the target population based on its genetic variation and sustainability in its habitat. Buckwheat (Fagopyrum spp) being grown in wide geographic variations of Nepal is especially important source of food for marginal farmers of hills and mountains………..

Title : Content analysis of post graduate theses in development communication Material Type: printed text Authors: Thakur, M.K., Author ; Rabindra N. Trikha, Author Publication Date: 2004 Article on page: 28-32 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Content analysis, development communication, post graduate thesis Abstract: The study was conducted to find out the pattern of post-graduate research studies, the research
design, the tools and the techniques used, the geographical distribution and the contents of 26
post-graduate theses. All the theses of Development Communication were taken for the study. The
theses were categorized into fourteen areas of research. Majority of them were on educational
technology followed by development journalism. Most of the theses had four objectives and had
institutions as a locale of the study. Purposive sampling pattern was largely adopted. Majority of
them had 101 to 150 respondents, dominated by students and rural women. Descriptive research
design was used by the maximum respondents. Many of them used primary data. Maximum
researchers used combination of schedules and questionnaires. Majority of them used original
scale. Estimation (percentage) was used by majority of the researchers for analysis of data. Almost
all theses had informative titles and majority of them had informative abstracts. Many of the
theses contained 101-150 pages. Effective table of contents and standard format were used by the
thesis writers. Majority of theses had 21-40 illustrations. All the theses had review presentations in
chronological order and bibliography in alphabetical order. Many of them had 1-3 appendices and

Title : Quality Assessment of Ctc Tea by Chemical Analysis Methods Material Type: printed text Authors: M. B. Shrestha, Author ; M. J. Thapa, Author ; R. C. Bhandari, Author Pagination: 93-97 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: chemical analysis, drying, fermentation, green tea leaves, withering Abstract: Black tea (CTC) were prepared from tea parts green leaf (two leaves and one bud) collected
from Jhapa tea garden by varying the fermentation time as 1.0, 1.30, 2.0 and 2.30 hours at
25.5 °C in the laboratory and it was analyzed. The caffeine content, water extract, crude fiber,
total ash, water soluble ash, acid insoluble ash and alkalinity of ash ranged from 2.91 to 3.53,
32.97 to 38.45, 9.41 to9.67, 6.38 to 6.73, 44.80 to 52.43, 0.32 to 0.59 and 1.81 to 2.06%
respectively. Black tea (CTC) were collected from different tea industries and were analyzed.
The caffeine content, 1\'ater extract, crude fibber, total ash, water soluble ash, acid insoluble
ash and alkalinity of ash rang from 2.60 to 3.82, 34.15 to 42.28, 10.43 to 14.85, 5./7 to 7.27,
36.17 to 65.15, 0.03 to 0.62 and 1.35 to 1.80 %respectively. Analysis showed that caffeine
content in the prepared black tea was higher as compared to industrial prepared tea. Crude
fibber content is low in the lab prepared iea as it is prepared from 2 leaves one bud where as
the tea collected from industry showed high crude fiber. Result showed that caffeine content
increased and water extract decreasing at certain level as the fermentation time increased.
One-hour fermentation time showed better quality tea because it gave low caffeine and high
water extract than other fermentation time and it was also better than industrial tea samples.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=471 Quality Assessment of Ctc Tea by Chemical Analysis Methods [printed text] / M.

Title : Identification of Best Bet Vegetable Crops for Relay Cropping Under Maize in Potato and Maize System Material Type: printed text Authors: Katuwal, R.B., Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author ; T. R. Chapagain, Author Pagination: 396-400 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: cropping systems. economic analysis, maize, potato, vegetables, Abstract: For the identification and developmem of system based technology in potato + maize system,
four vegetables crops nainely cauliflower. cabbage, radish and pea were tested after the
haJVest of potato in the high hi/Js ( 1800·2200 m) outreach research sites of ARS, Pakhribas
during the years 1999-2001. The experiment was implemented in accessible ami nonaccessible
(or partially accessible) to road and market sites using RCB design wit/1 four
replications. Results obtained from the analysis showed a non-significant difference between
maize and potato yields in the system. However, there was significant (P< 0.01) effect of
location on potato and maize yield. The higher tllber ( 12.4 t/ha) and maize grain yield (2162
kg/ha) was recorded at Basallfapur site. In the case of vegetable crops. statistical analysis
detected signijicallt (P<0.01) effect of individual location, year and vegetable species.
However, the interaction between location x treatment, treatment x year and location x
treatmelll x year were showed 11011-signijicant results. The highest yield was obtained from
radish (33.8 t/ha), which was followed by Cabbage (12. 7 t/lf{l) and Cauliflower (7. 7 t/lw).
The lowest yield producer was pea (1.2 tllw) among the vegetables. An economic analysis
{partial budgeting) from the experimental data revealed that the highest net benefit (NB)
returned from cauliflower (Kathmandu local) was Rs. 129,81 61/w in Basalltapur (access to
road and markets) and at Mudhe sanischare Rs. 32,497/ha (no or partially access to road
and markets). likewise, NB obtained from cabbage (Copenhagen Market) at Basalllapur
was Rs. 61.127/ha whereas in Mudhe sanischare was Rs -4123/ha. The negative benefit
obtained was mainly due to the low market price and poor performance of crop growth due
to continuous rain during early stages of crop growth along with disease and insects attack.
The experimental results have clearly indicated that farm income can easily be increased
with the intervention of cauliflower, cabbage and radish in the potato + maize system in the
road accessible areas of the high hills.Identification of Best Bet Vegetable Crops for Relay Cropping Under Maize in Potato and Maize System [printed text] / Katuwal, R.B., Author ; P. P. Khatiwada, Author ; T. R. Chapagain, Author . - [s.d.] . - 396-400 p.
