Hybrid Veggies & Mixed Kids: Ecocriticism And Race In Ruth Ozeki's Pastoral Heartlands, Melissa Eriko Poulsen

Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies

This paper explores the troping of racial categories and mixed race bodies in Ruth Ozeki’s All Over Creation (2003) and My Year of Meats (1999). Moving through both transnational and local space, Ozeki’s writes an ecocritical pastoral text in order to resist representations of people of mixed race stemming from nineteenth century racial theory. Drawing attention to the consumption of food within and across national borders, whether genetically modified potatoes or hormone-infused beef, Ozeki simultaneously highlights the uncritical consumption of the language of biology around the mixed race body. All Over Creation and My Year of Meats are constructed around …

Stream Water Survey Along The Annapurna Circuit, Nepal, Rhona Scott

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

This paper focuses on stream water testing that took place on the Marshyangdi River, Jharsang Khola and the Kali Gandaki River that are located along the Annapurna Circuit Trek within the Annapurna Conservation Area. Sampling was undertaken from May 16, 2011 to May 28, 2011. A total of 7 samples were taken from the Marshyangdi River, 1 sample from a branch of the Marshyangdi River ( Jharsang Khola), and 5 from the Kali Gandaki River at various accessible points along the trek. An effort was made to sample both upstream and downstream of a village to assess any difference between …

Who Pollutes? – Household Solid Waste Management Problem In Kathmandu, Nepal, Menuka Karki

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

This paper estimates the impact of household characteristics on waste disposal choices. Waste disposal choices are: (1) Burning/Dumping (2) Collection and (3) Composting. The analysis shows that urban household prefer less composting and more collection which involve no waste processing and it attributes to the environmental degradation. However, education does not seem to influence waste disposal choices. Easy access to public transportation like bus stop increases environmental quality, which can be a recommended as a policy to decrease environment degradation.

Agricultural Policy And Its Impacts In Rural Economy In Nepal, Rajendra Poudel

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

Nepal is considered a high population density developing country and a very high population density per unit of agriculture land. Comparative analysis with the region shows that the Bangladesh and Nepal have the lowest land to labor ratio (0.22 and 0.29 respectively), compared to India (0.61), Sri Lanka (0.51) and Pakistan (0.81). Small holding size of high land fragmentation in Nepal is one of the main reported causes of poverty in rural area. Nepal combines the status of least developed country, landlocked position between two giant protectionist countries (India and China), with attached castes system, armed conflict since 2002, very …

How To Make Market-Based Policy Instruments Effective?, Keshav Bhattarai

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of MBIs to regulate ES at various topographic regions of Nepal through the integration of both natural science and economic elements within the geographic information systems (GIS) framework. It attempts to develop a land production model based on location-specific spatial and temporal factors taking into account the primary ‘supporting services’ (e.g. soil formation) to ‘provisioning’ (e.g. food production), ‘regulating’ (e.g. climate) and ‘cultural’ (e.g. recreation) services which are the building blocks of ES.

Feasting With 'The Other': Transforming The Self In Food Adventuring Programs, Jacqui Kong

Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies

Food adventuring television programs are a relatively recent phenomenon which merge two previously distinct genres of television programming, i.e. travel programs and cooking shows. These programs often feature celebrity chefs or famous personalities going in search of ‘new’, ‘exciting’ culinary adventures which, more often than not, open doors to experiencing and learning about different groups, cultures and their specific ways of life. As such, ‘difference’ is the highlight and main focus of these programs – not just the cuisine which is featured. It is this multilayered, complex terrain in these food adventuring programs which leaves much room for analysis. ‘Difference’, …

A Watershed Conservation Success Story In Nepal: Land Use Changes Over 30 Years, Bill Fleming, Jeanie Fleming

Himalayan Policy Research Conference

In the middle hill region of west central Nepal in 1977, a quarter of a 113 km2 watershed experienced erosion rates exceeding 30 Mt/ha/yr due to high rainfall intensities, unstable soils, steep slopes and severe overgrazing. This increasing land degradation coupled with indiscriminate forest harvesting threatened the survival of forests and viable pasture lands. However, an innovative national government policy of handing over forest management to local people was put in place over the next three decades, resulting in conversion of nearly all the eroded grazing and shrub land to managed pasture and forest, a five-fold increase in grass and …

Immanent Beauty, Jenamarie Bacot

Theses

This document defends a creative process that is driven by emotion and faith, within which the impulsive, improvisational, and expressive act exists. It is a spiritual act because of the belief that I am creating through the work something honest and therefore important. This defense will be supported by analysis of me and my work, evaluation of artists and artwork created throughout history that have inspired me, as well as philosophical, theological, and critical thoughts towards creative experiences inspired by beauty defending truth.

A Psychoanalytical Approach To Bich Minh Nguyen's Stealing Buddha's Dinner, Wenying Xu

Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies

Racial minorities in the U.S. are often tormented by the tension between the corporeal and the ontological, with the former experienced as confining and the latter expansive. Such ambivalence often expresses itself in one's relationship with food. Here I propose to illustrate how Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytical theory on desire can assist us in understanding ethnicity as a bodily performance, which I venture to call an embodied ontology, applying this concept to Bich Minh Nguyen's Stealing Buddha's Dinner (2007).

The Role Of Male Partners In Childbirth Decision Making: A Qualitative Exploration With First-Time Parenting Couples, Sharon Dejoy

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Fathers' attendance at childbirth is almost universal in the United States, but few researchers have addressed the role that males play in childbirth decision making. The number of technological interventions available to birthing women is increasing, as is the utilization of those interventions. The degree to which women choose or agree to these interventions plays a major role in individual and societal health outcomes. Therefore, health care policy makers and educators must find ways to help childbearing couples navigate the complex maze of decisions related to childbirth. However, policies and programs to increase shared decision making may not function as …

The Relationship Between Stride Rates, Lengths And Body Size And Their Affect On Elite Triathletes’ Running Performance During Competition, Grant J. Landers, Brian A. Blanksby, Timothy R. Ackland

International Journal of Exercise Science

Previous research has suggested that a degree of predictability exists in the relationship between self-selected running stride rates (SR) and stride lengths (SL) with measures of body size such as mass, height and limb lengths. Significant correlations have also been revealed between these body size measures and performance and between SL and performance. However, there is also evidence to suggest that triathlon performance may be related to maintaining a longer SL during the final run. Hence, the aim of this investigation was to examine whether there was any relationship between SR and SL, with body masses and heights of senior …
