This write-up aims to first clarify the notion of phenomenology by offering sayings of different experts of this genre. Thereafter, it attempts to briefly trace its genesis and classify this broad idea in three different schools viz. transcendental, hermeneutic and existential. After discussing very precisely on each of these schools, it focuses on the premises of hermeneutic phenomenology as a method for doing research. The purpose of this essay is to collect and exhibit a crude paradigmatic clue of doing a hermeneutic phenomenological research. During the course, it emphasizes on the metaphysical stance, methodological grounds, quality concerns and ethical issues that contribute to its paradigmatic assumptions.

Land degradation is major challenge of Nepal. The paper focuses mainly on causes and consequences of land degradation and their management approaches. Land degradation may occur through different physical, chemical and biological processes induced directly or indirectly by human activities like deforestation, shifting cultivation, overgrazing, steep slope farming, over use of chemical fertilizers and forest resources. These create many social problems like poverty, poor health and nutrition and demographic dynamics by lowering agricultural productivity. Agroforestry approaches like use of Multi Purpose Tree Species (MPTs), relay-cropping, terracing and contour cultivation, strip and alley cropping are appropriate to fulfill the needs of low resource farmers by restoring and increasing land productivity. The potentiality of the approach can be made more effective through holistic efforts, based on needs with active participation of farmers in planning and implementation stage.

This paper explicates the contextually embedded meaning of being middle level leaders in the Nepali institutional schools. Using in-depth interview and protocol writing as the means of data generation, this article unearths the experience of three middle level leaders. Distributed leadership theory (Spillane, 2006) and its constructs of leadership plus aspect and leadership practice aspect provide the theoretical lens to unveil the myths and realities of being middle level leaders. All three participants shared their common acknowledgement about the significance and sensitivity of middle level leadership roles for school administration and effectiveness. Individual essence of being a middle level leader was contingent on the very context where they worked. Their feelings of being relegated and marginalized, helplessness or high exhilaration were subjects to the contextual reality.
This article attempts to unveil the possible consequences that have emerged due to Nepal’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements and the preparedness to be demonstrated by the Nepalese financial institutions in reference to their efforts of capacity enhancement so as to set up themselves at par with the international standards. Beginning from the agreed General Agreements on Trade and Services (GATS) provisions on Financial Sector Service (FSS), this paper shall attempt to expose the gap between the expected accommodations and the existing realities. The fundamental assumption manifested through this article is the requirement to perform in urgency so as to take the potential benefits of WTO provisions since there is no way out as Nepal has already signed the agreement.

Main objectives of this study were to estimate annual fuelwood demand in Community Forest Users Group (CFUG), and annual sustainable supply of the same from Community Forest (CF). Study was done each one community forest of Terai and Hills; Shanti Community Forest (SCF), Saljhandi, Rupandehi (Terai) and Barangdikol Community Forest (BCF), Madanpokhara, Palpa (Hill), in Western Development region, Nepal. Extensive field work was carried out from May to July, 2007. Sustainable supply of fuelwood from the CF was estimated by using the methodology mentioned in the "Revised guidelines for community forest resource inventory", MoFSC, 2004. Stratified random sampling with proportional allocation method in three households (HHs) type; HHs with biogas, HHs with ICS and HHs without biogas & ICS, was used to cover 15 % of the HHs in the CFUG during HHs survey for the estimation of fuelwood demand. The fuelwood consumption pattern in these three HHs types was compared. The result showed that SCF was found in good condition where as BCF was in poor condition based on regeneration rate and growing stock. Demand and supply analysis showed that only 12.03 % of fuelwood demand in SCFUG and 8.03 % of the fuelwood demand in the BCFUG was fulfilled by the sustainable supply of fuelwood from the CF.
