Item Attitudes of M. Ed. English Students Towards Action Research(Central Department of Education English, 2012) Sharma, MurareeThis research study entitled "Attitudes ofM. EdEnglishStudentstowards ActionResearch" was an attempt to find out the attitudes ofM. Ed.Level English Studentsregarding action research and to list some pedagogical implications. This studywascarried out using both the primary and secondary sources of data. For primarysource ofdata forty-eight M.Ed.2 nd Year Englishstudentswere randomly selected from thefourcampuses of Kathmandu and Bhaktpur districts.Ineach campus,twelve studentswereprovided the questionnaire to get information regarding action research. I used both open-ended and close-ended types of questions to elicit the required data. Theywerefoundvery positive towards action research and they opined that all the practitioners of ELTmust engage themselves in action research. The data were analyzed using statistical toolslike average, percentage, and presented using paraorthographical modes like tables. Afterinterpretation and analysis of data, it was revealed that action research is very crucial fortheELTpractitioners to bring change and improvewentin their teaching behavior. This thesis consistsfour chapters. The first chapter deals with general background,review of the related literature, objectives and significance of the study. The secondchapter deals with the methodology under which sources of data, sampling procedure,research tools, process of data collection and limitations of the study have been included.Similarly, the third chapter deals with the analysis and interpretation of data.

The female characters of the selected stories are studied from the perspective of emotional crisis, mimicry and manifest how social mobility and upper class consciousness was reflected. In course of studying this, I have made use of theories and ideas mainly from: Georg Lukacs, Emily Cappo, Bhabha, Louis Crompton, M. H. Abrams, Antonio Gramsic, Marvin Harris, Howard Wallace, and Raymond William about class have been used in this thesis. Its main focus lies on the female characters and the process of alienating higher mobility and initiating higher class desires. This research explores the connection between French author Guy de Maupassant‘s realistic writing style a his observations of 19th century French social classes. A literary analysis of three of Maupassant‘s short stories; The Diamond Necklace, The Jewelry, and Boul de Suif is taken into account while carrying this research work, which determine key elements of naturalism, realism and an unequal class structure, discriminating between the peasantry, the working class, and the rich bourgeois. My research aims to study evidence that Maupassant uses a realistic writing style to advocate for social justice.Item Exploring Conceptual and Procedural Learning Difficulties in School Level Coordinate Geometry(Central Department of Education Mathematics, 2019) Regmi, Krishna PrasadThis is an qualitative research entitled with “Exploring Conceptual and Procedural Learning Difficulties in School Level Coordinate Geometry” is intended to explore conceptual and procedural difficulties faced by the student in learning coordinate geometry. In order to fulfill the objective of the study, I used mathematics achievement test and in-depth interview tools to find actual and perceived learning difficulties. This study based on case study research design. The four schools of Kaski district’s comprising total of 80 students were selected for the sample of study. Among them seven students were taken for in-depth interview. The purposive sampling method was used to collect the primary data. I analyze the data by inductive thematic approach. I divide the learning difficulties in two types. They are conceptual difficulties and procedural difficulties. In conceptual difficulties, students feels difficulties in defining co-ordinate term, symbolization, mathematical representation of the term, visualizing and understanding the object, recognizing abscissa and ordinate, transformation of knowledge and misconception about the coordinate geometry. Also in procedural difficulties, students feel difficulties in using appropriate formulas, solving procedure, selecting proper formula, assuming coordinate, substituting assuming value in formula, understanding ratios, points and its relationship, solving equation, recognizing variable and constant in equation. Similarly students feel difficulties in establish the interrelationship of properties of figures, calculation, solving in sequential order, connecting other mathematical axioms and postulate in coordinate geometry.

Stevenson’s Treasure Island, and H. Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines and She. Among many other late Victorian writers who found the imperial situation a wonderful arena for psychological drama, Stevenson and Haggard are the two cheers in this category. The arresting narrative, rather than the scramble for colonies, accounts mostly to Haggard and Stevenson for the popular vogue for literature of exotic adventure. The objective is to show that the late Victorian adventure narratives of Stevenson and Haggard are part of a larger discourse of imperial confidence. Narratives like Treasure Island, King Solomon’s Mines and She serve to confirm and celebrate the success of the imperial undertaking. Adventurers finally find what they are looking for and return home safe and richer. The high colonial romance prominent in the adventure narratives of Stevenson and Haggard seems attributable to the consequence of the inherent motive in the part of white European travellers of Orientalizing Africa, the utilitarian Victorian motive of robbing Africa of her vast and valuable natural and manual resources, and satisfying the sexual fantasies of the masculine imperial imagination. The imperial politics, it is assumed, is inextricably linked up with the form of romance, wherein everything is focused on a conflict between the hero and his enemy, and all the readers values are intended to be bound up with the hero.Item Resisting Normalcy in Sharon M. Draper's Out of My Mind(Central Department of English, 2019) Sapkota, SharadaThis research analyzes Sharon M. Draper's Out of My Mind and explores the issue of the normalcy and stigmatization of Melody Brooks, an eleven year old girl with cerebral palsy. Being a girl with physical disability, she comes across the barriers in her participation as equal member of society due to which she cannot practice the rights as a human being in her society. The issue of normalcy and stigmatization under the theory of disability studies has been undertaken as theoretical approach in this research. Normalcy is a socio-cultural construct which refers to the state of being perfectly normal and it considers disability as misfortune and the persons with disabilities as burden in every society. As a result, Melody, because of her disabled body, suffers from stigma of normalcy, but her stigma is countered by herself with the help of her beloved ones as she learns words from books, and TV shows, gathers information from diverse field, participates the class activities etc. This study shows Melody through her determination to learn words, perseverance to go school in any situation, courage to join the class among her so-called normal classmates, struggle to participate the quiz competition and expectation to win it, challenges the discriminatory attitude of the norms. Thus, Melody gets love, support, inspiration and encouragement from her parents as well as her well-wishers that raises hope within her to fight against biased mindset of the society. Her access in technology and disability friendly infra-structures plays a vital role to make her independent because of which she questions the false ideology of disability and overcomes the stigma.Item Special Provision and Incentive to Manufacturing Industries Under ITA 2058(2019) Karki, Dipendra RajThe research work has been carried out on Special Provision and Incentive to Manufacturing Industries Under ITA 2058 with the aim to analyze the impact of special provisions in manufacturing industries provided by income tax act 2058. For the study purpose, questionnaires are used for primary data and for secondary data publication was used hence descriptions as well as analytical research design are used for research purpose. Tax administrators, tax experts and taxpayers were considered as the total population. Out of them, 20 tax administrators, 20 tax experts and 20 of taxpayers were requested to fill the questionnaire for this 20 each has been used as sample size. Hence, the total respondents have been divided into three different groups. Information collected through the questionnaire was on raw form. To meet the objective of this study, they are checked, rechecked, edited and tabulated for computation. According to the nature of data, they have been inserted in meaningful tables. Homogenous data are sorted in one table and various tables are prepared in under stable manner. The internal revenue is sometimes in sufficient even to meet regular expenditure and most of the development activities depend on foreign aid where Nepal has been compelled to harmonize the donor. The major problems of domestic resource mobilization are poor utilization of the natural resource base, small and fragmented industrial sector, poor performance of public sector enterprises, poor economic growth and inadequate tax efforts etc. So, in this context, revenue generation form internal sources is very important in which income tax is one of the major sources and it is considered as a good remedy to cure growing resource gap problem in Nepal. The provisions provided to industrial sector is aiding to promote industries. The impacts of ITA 2058 in manufacturing sectors has positively influenced by the manufacturing sectors with the increment in number of industries, timely reporting and recording, registration and renewals, apart form this excess depreciation facilities for special industries have promoted the growth of industrial sectors which ultimately have contributed in increasing tax revenue. Income tax laws and administration in Nepal are to be deeply scrutinized and properly implemented. Act itself is not bad, some provisions would have to be mentioned clearly. Strong commitment, fair and uniformly imposition are to be stored and revitalized. Manpower development planning within the administration is desired for the efficiency of tax personnel side by side, tax education packages are to be made and initiated, hence tax administration and tax compliance could be improved.
