Due to lack of knowledge, awareness and lack of resources adolescents are facing problems. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge regarding unsafe abortion among adolescent students. A descriptive study was carried out among adolescent students of Sarbamangala Secondary School of Kavrepalanchowk district, Nepal. After taking consent, 114 adolescents were selected from grade 9 to 12, purposively and self-administered questionnaires were distributed to them. Gathered data were accomplished through simple mathematical and descriptive way.\u0000Among 114 respondents, just more than half (52.2%) of the respondents were male and near about half (47.8%) of respondents were female. The respondents from grade 9 to 12 were 30.2%, 35.4%, 22.1% and 12.3% respectively and all most of all respondents (97.8%) were unmarried. The study reveals that only 34.2% of them had understood the meaning of unsafe abortion. Majority of respondents (78.5%) had inadequate knowledge, 20.2% respondents had moderate knowledge and few respondents (1.3%) had adequate knowledge regarding the unsafe abortion.\u0000This study concludes that there is lack of knowledge regarding abortion, legalization of abortion, unsafe abortion and its consequences among adolescent students of rural area. Awareness program on abortion can be conducted among the adolescent students to prevent unsafe abortion.","PeriodicalId":278254,"journal":{"name":"Rupantaran: A Multidisciplinary Journal","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128963122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding communities’ use and perceptions of a PA will increase its conservation effectiveness through reducing anthropogenic pressures and improving park-people relationship. The specific objective of the study was to explore the perceptions and reliance of local communities in conservation by different social groups and economic conditions on the basis of the current natural resource related needs in Bardia National Park (BNP) and its Buffer Zone (BZ). Data has been collected through a mixed-method approach, including qualitative semi-structured interviews and a household survey.

The present study was conducted from August 2021 to July 2022 with a view to bridging this knowledge deficit and presenting an up-to-date account of the mammalian species in the agricultural fields and forests of the municipality based on questionnaire survey, direct sightings and indirect evidence. A total of 19 mammal species belonging to 7 orders and 13 families were registered. Among 19 species, 6 species belonged to Carnivora, 2 species to Cetartiodactyla, 3 species of Primate, 5 species to Rodentia and 1 each to Chiroptera, Eulipotypha, Lagomorpha. The major threats to mammalian fauna of the municipality include habitat loss and degradation, persecution, human-wildlife conflict and poaching. For long-term conservation of wild mammals more research is needed on their population genetics, habitat ecology, food web and climate change vulnerability. The information contained in the present study is expected to form the baseline for further development and research in the field of mammalian conservation in the municipality.","PeriodicalId":278254,"journal":{"name":"Rupantaran: A Multidisciplinary Journal","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128022811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The commercial success of this agricultural system seems to have made this system widespread in the eastern hills of Nepal. Apart from this, it also helps to develop the habit of choosing appropriate agricultural technology among the local farmers.  Thus, this farming system seems to be a more popular business at present context in this area. Moreover, this study also confirms that the commercial tomato farming is not only a profitable business but also a risky and challenging. The farmers are facing various socio-economic challenges while doing this cultivation. Therefore, this study proves that any human activity is not free from barriers or challenges, so such challenges must be faced in an intelligent way.
