Analysis, Selection, And Implementation Of A Case Management System For Local City Government Attorney's Office, Patricia D. Hughes

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

This paper focuses on the business analysis, selection, and implementation of a case management system for a local government City Attorney's Office which is a document management system in addition to calendaring, notes, tasks, and billing. Their current system relies on paper document organization and as well as some electronic documentation in a simple file folder structure on a windows network file server.

Poverty Reduction In Nepal: A Clinical Economics Approach, Gyan Pradhan, Rabindra Bhandari Oct 2007

Poverty Reduction In Nepal: A Clinical Economics Approach, Gyan Pradhan, Rabindra Bhandari

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

Following Sachs (2005), this paper adopts a clinical economics approach and attempts to undertake a systematic “differential diagnosis” of the nature and scope of poverty in Nepal. Subsequently, we will examine the causes of poverty and the determinants of household per capita income in Nepal. Ultimately, we hope to propose programs and institutions to address the critical barriers to poverty reduction that are identified through the differential diagnosis.

Inter- And Intra-Subject Variability: A Palatometric Study, Marybeth Corey Sanders Oct 2007

Inter- And Intra-Subject Variability: A Palatometric Study, Marybeth Corey Sanders

Theses and Dissertations

Electropalatometry (EPM) has proven to be a useful clinical and research tool for measuring tongue-to-palate contact. The goal of this study was to determine whether the development of a database of standardized palatometric articulation files is feasible by examining the variability which exists within and between speakers. Twenty standard American English dialect speakers were fitted with palatometer pseudopalates. Test stimuli were VCV nonsense words using a schwa in the initial position, the 15 palatal consonants, and three corner vowels, /a/, /i/, /u/. From these palatometric recordings a variability index was created to examine intra- and interspeaker variability. Different aspects of …

Class, Gender And Generation: Mediating Factors In Dalit Identities In Kathmandu, Nepal, Sambriddhi Kharel Oct 2007

Class, Gender And Generation: Mediating Factors In Dalit Identities In Kathmandu, Nepal, Sambriddhi Kharel

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

There is a growing resistance from Dalits against the ongoing caste discrimination in the Nepali society (Dahal et al 2002; Jha 2004). In this process Dalits are both assertively deploying and redefining their “traditional” identities. Despite the constitutional ban on caste discrimination, there persists an upper caste monopoly on education, jobs, and political power. This research studies the complex and changing dynamics of Dalit identity in Nepal, within a context of growing resistance and organized social movement against caste discrimination and exclusion. More specifically, this paper examines differentiation and variation in the reproduction of Dalit identities during a period of …

Leadership For Environmental Education And Conservation: A Case Of Green Space Park At P.N. Campus, Pokhara, Padam Giri, Krishna Shrestha, Bishwo Parajuli, Murari Suvedi

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

The city of Pokhara in Nepal is facing a tremendous growth pressure, and the municipality has not been able to maintain open space for public use. There are no plans for the development of a nature park or green place where people could see, feel, and touch ornamental plants and flowers in nature. Further, Pokhara municipality lacks an open green space where people could walk, jog or spend leisure or free time.

Remittances And Their Effects In Nepal: A Microeconomic Study, Mukti Upadhyay Oct 2007

Remittances And Their Effects In Nepal: A Microeconomic Study, Mukti Upadhyay

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

Some of the important questions that have motivated my project, in the context of Nepal, include the following: “Do remittances facilitate consumption smoothing (Yang and Choi, 2005), or investments in human and physical capital (Rapoport and Docquier 2004), or help households overcome liquidity constraints (Taylor and Rozelee, 2003)?”


Putting Money Where The Mouth Is: Does Aid To Nepal Finance What The Donors Say They Want To Finance?, Sailesh Tiwari Oct 2007

Putting Money Where The Mouth Is: Does Aid To Nepal Finance What The Donors Say They Want To Finance?, Sailesh Tiwari

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

This paper replicates and extends a well known model of quantifying categorical fungibility of foreign aid to study the effect of aid on government consumption, magnitude and composition of government investment and revenue mobilization in Nepal. I find that aid intended for a particular sector has, by and large, been spent within that sector and, in fact, induced the government to augment its spending on that particular sector for most categories studied. This broadly corroborates the evidence on the “flypaper effect” of aid not just at the aggregate level but also at the sectoral level. I also find that aid …

The Human Dimensions Of Land Change In Lamjung District Of Nepal, Milan Shrestha Oct 2007

The Human Dimensions Of Land Change In Lamjung District Of Nepal, Milan Shrestha

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

Among land-change scientists, there is a growing recognition of the need for an integrative multilevel approach to study the relationships of agricultural ‘modification activities’ with global land-use and land-cover change (LUCC) (Moran 2005; Walsh et al. 2004). This new development comes as a crucial step to move beyond the primary area of change – the conversion of forests – to study the changes in agricultural areas, mainly the land-use strategies resulting in different agricultural intensification levels (Lambin et al. 2000; Laney 2004).
