Abstract:

Swidden or shifting cultivation is a widespread yet controversial land-use in the tropical forest–agriculture frontier. In recent years, the extent of land under swidden and the people who rely on it for subsistence and income have declined. We report swidden land-use changes in two central hill districts of Nepal by indigenous Chepang communities—a stronghold of swidden cultivation in mountainous Nepal. Despite a common trend of swidden decline, as in other parts of South and Southeast Asia, we found that swidden is important in the life and livelihoods of smallholder rural Chepang farmers in

Abstract This paper looks at two closely related Tibeto-Burman languages of Nepal, Chepang and Bhujel, in relation to certain supra-segmental features they possess which are involved in the distinction of minimal pairs. Since these features include pitch and glottalisation, the possible phonemic analyses of these in terms of either a supra-segmental solution (tone) or a segmental one (glottal plosive) are discussed. Given the latter, a non-tonal analysis for the present state of these languages, and the possibilities of one or both of these becoming tonal languages in the future, are considere

Abstract:

In Nepal, marginalized communities like the Chepang, who face socio-economic challenges, have limited access to healthcare services, resulting in low utilization of antenatal care (ANC) despite the availability of free maternal healthcare services. This study used a cross-sectional design using semi-structured questionnaires and in-person interviews to find out the factors influencing the use of ANC services among 130 women from Chepang (an extremely marginalized ethnic tribe) community in Rapti Municipality, Chitwan, Nepal. The collected data were entered in Epi-data and analyzed in SPSS ver.

Background: Approximately 287,000 women died globally from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth in 2010. Nepal is among the countries with high maternal mortality rates in South Asia region with estimated Maternal Mortality Rate 239/100,000 live births. Underutilization of health services is one factor contributing to high maternal mortality rate. In Nepal, 81% of births take place at home without skilled health providers. Many complications related to childbirth can be prevented by utilization of maternal health services. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out amon
