    Estimating The Density of Prey Species of Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) in Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve, Nepal
    (Department of Zoology, 2013) Adhikari, Pradeep
    Tiger population is dependent on a healthy and viable prey population and prey population should be monitored regularly. I estimated population density and structure of major prey species in Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve using Distance sampling method. A total of 26 transects covering a total length of 109.25 was monitored for ungulates during February, 2012. Ungulates in the Sal Forest and riverine forest were sampled by walking and in the tall grasses Elephant was used. A total of 132 groups and 2170 individuals of nine prey species (Chital, Barking Deer, Hog Deer, Swamp Deer, Wild Pig, Langur, Rhesus, Peafowl and Cattle) were recorded. The overall density of prey species in SWR was 72.71/km and the densities of Chital, Hog Deer and Primates were 28.99, 8.51 and 6.79/km respectively. Biomasses of Chital and Hog Deer were estimated at 1565.46 and 280.83 kg/km respectively. Of the total individuals, 77.64% were classified into age-sex categories. Sex ratios of Chital, Hog Deer and Swamp Deer were female biased, while in Rhesus and Barking Deer were male biased sex ratios were observed. Barking Deer was found mostly solitary, but other species like Chital Wild Pig, Peafowl, Rhesus and Hog Deer occupy intermediate position in terms of sociality with the group size frequencies being distributed among family associations, small groups and medium sized groups. Swamp Deer and domestic Cattle were found in very large herds with more than hundreds individuals in groups. Estimated prey population density of this study was lower than the estimates of 2006 and 2011. However, male- female and young to female ratios represent the good symptoms of future prey population in order to keep long term conservation of Tiger population.

    Problems on Teaching Numerical Integration
    (Department of Mathematics Education, 2021) Adhikari, Pradeep
    The purpose of the study was to find the problem faced by mathematics teachers on teaching numerical integration and also find the major causes related to the problem in teaching numerical integration which are facedby Mathematics teacher at grade XII. The mixed design was adopted to conduct the study for convenience. The previous study of research reports and journal were guide to the study.The sample was composed of 60 math teacher working in public and institutional school. The researcher made tools :Opinionnaireform and Interview Schedule. . The researcher categorized the problem into following: Problem related to content, materials, class management, professional development, administration. The researcher found that there are various problems that cause teachers inefficient and enthusiastic to execute duty properly in the classroom. Most of the problem faced byteacher showed lack of participate in training and workshop, lack of language, teaching material are not easily available, poor economic status of the school, student use to much mobile internet, face book, school time and out of school time, very tight budget of the school, lack of support to mathematics teaching material by the administration, lack of teachers preparing lesson plan daily, lack of availability of the journal. Based on the finding and the conclusion from this study, the following recommendation is developed : teacher should use proper material and prepare lesson plan before starting the topic, the school should manage mathematical lab, material and computer, proper guidance according to the student’sability should be given to ensure better learning for the whole class, teacher should be encouraged about better teaching practices by providing handsome remunerations or incentive.
