Factors influencing personalization of dwellings among residents of selected public housing estates Lagos Nigeria
Authors: Morakinyo Kolawole Opeyemi
Published: April 2021

Several factors have been implicated as responsible for personalization of dwellings. These factors ranges from demographic, socioeconomic and cultural. Demographic factors however, have been most frequently cited with respect to housing behaviour of households. Within the context of public housing, this study seeks to investigate factors influencing personalization of dwellings among residents of public housing estates using selected Public Housing Estates of the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) as case study. The cross-sectional survey research design was employed in this study. This involved collection of primary data using structured questionnaire and personal observations. Four public housing estates were selected purposively comprising three low-income and one medium-income housing estate out of 22 low-income and 10 medium-income estates, being the largest estates. The sampling frame for the four selected estates comprised 9734 housing units in 1361 blocks of flat out of which systematic random sampling was used to select a sample size of 973 housing units.

The result of the binary logistic regression revealed gender, religion, educational and income level, current household size, satisfaction with housing design, living status and availability of alternative dwelling were all significantly associated with personalization of dwellings. Lower odds of personalization was found among the men (OR=0.003, p<0.05) when compared to the women. While the odds of personalization was 82.0% lower (OR=0.18, p<0.05) among respondents from other religious group relative to respondents affiliated to the Christian religion, respondents affiliated to the Islam religion were 18.0% (OR=0.82, p>0.05) less likely to personalize their dwellings relative to Christian respondents, although the result was not statistically significant for respondents affiliated to Islam women. While respondents with higher education were 85.0% (OR=0.15, p<0.05) less likely to personalize their dwellings, respondents with secondary education were 69.0% (OR=0.31, p>0.05) less likely to personalize their dwellings relative to respondents with maximum of primary education, though the results was not statistically significant among respondents with maximum of primary education. Other factors that were significantly associated with personalization of dwellings include: higher income level, household size, level of satisfactions with design, residency status and ownership of alternative apartment. The findings of this study reinforced the importance of socio-economic variables as important factors to be considered in the study of personalization of dwellings.

Authors: Lestari Nia Yunia , Salura Purnama , Fauzy Bachtiar
Published: April 2021

Cirebon is a unique city with 3 palaces, including Kasepuhan, Kanoman, Kacirebonan. The palaces are influenced by the history and culture of the Baluwarti palace, which is believed to have specific concepts in the arrangement and placement of building masses. This study  examines the concepts underlying Baluwarti in the 3 Cirebon palaces. This is achieved by first studying the basis of Palace's trust rules used to regulate the mass placing of the palace building. Subsequently, the study uses an architectural anatomical theory consisting of the building site and scope, and the property-composition theory to explore the orientation and position of the Palace building. The results showed that the concept underlying Baluwarti in the 3 Cirebon palaces consists of Javanese and Sundanese cosmologies as building orientation, the type of land on which it was built, and Mahameru and the building position. This research contributes to the general architecture in the uniqueness of historical, cultural and local values. Also, it provides architectural information regarding the concepts underlying Baluwarti in the 3 Cirebon palaces.

Published: April 2021

The development of ​​ coastal areas in Denpasar City is no longer focused on one location in Sanur but rather prioritizes potential tourism areas such as the Ayung River Estuary in Kesiman Kertalangu Village. This area has a beautiful natural landscape which makes it a recreational destination for the surrounding community and several efforts have been made by the village government to make it desirable for tourists as observed in the evaluation of the beautiful landscape in Ayung river estuary to serve as an input for further planning of the area. This research was, therefore, conducted using a descriptive quantitative method and scenic beauty estimation for analysis. The results showed the high scenic beauty estimation category was on the west side of the Ayung River while the low category was in the coastal area to the north of the area. Moreover, the factors influencing the scenic beauty estimation value include vegetation, water elements, cleanliness, and the aesthetic form of hardscape/landscape elements.

Published: April 2021

Green city development policies have an essential role in improving the ecological functions of a municipality. According to Law 26/2007 on spatial planning, it contains provinsions for green open space which oblige the government to set aside 30% of the city as green open space. However, the main obstacle in providing green open space remains the limited availability of urban land. Therefore, efforts are needed to detect urban land that is available for use as green open space. The purpose of this study is to determine the initial description of the availability of green open space in Malang City. This study uses an integrated method of calculating the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) with land cover classification. NDVI analysis reveals the distribution value of vegetation density in Malang City. Based on NDVI analysis results, green open space requires medium and high density vegetation. In Malang City, only 2946.56 ha, or 26.60% of the city, meets these requirements. The availability of green open space in Malang City therefore does not meet minimum green open space requirements. This study's results suggest the need for additional policies aimed at providing green open space for Malang City.

O estudo tem por objetivo relatar a experiência de um grupo de acadêmicos de Odontologia da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba, ocorrida no segundo semestre de 2018, durante o processo de formação de um espaço promotor de saúde que proporcionou o encontro da cultura e arte com o Sistema Único de Saúde na Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF) Argemiro de Figueiredo, situada no município de Campina Grande.   A construção deste espaço ocorreu durante o Estágio na Estratégia Saúde da Família I, componente curricular ofertado no quarto semestre do curso. Tal ambiente foi criado a partir da realização da vivência intitulada de “Grafite que traz vida”, como também por meio do processo de construção da Horta Comunitária na USF em questão. As atividades citadas foram marcadas pela forte interação entre acadêmicos, comunidade, equipe de saúde e equipamentos sociais presentes na área adstrita à USF, permitindo, assim, o fortalecimento do vínculo entre equipe de saúde e população. Neste processo de vivência em comunidade, observou-se a importância da presença de acadêmicos de Odontologia no cenário da Atenção Básica (AB). Tal  presença possibilitou que os mesmos reconhecessem a relevância do cuidado integral, entendendo, assim, que o papel do cirurgião-dentista na AB vai muito além da garantia de assistência em saúde bucal para a população. Além disso, a construção de um espaço promotor de saúde permitiu o fortalecimento dos laços  entre os usuários  e trabalhadores fazendo com que a comunidade compreendesse o espaço da UBS para além da doença.

ESENSI KEMANUSIAAN MENURUT GAMBAR DAN RUPA ALLAH
Authors: Marisi Candra Gunawan
Published: April 2021

Alkitab menuliskan bahwa manusia diciptakan oleh Allah menurut gambar dan rupa Allah. Namun kemudian manusia telah jatuh ke dalam dosa. Dosa adalah pemberontakan terhadap Allah, melangkahi batasan-Nya dan melenceng dari sasaran tolok ukur-Nya. Jadi sifat utama dosa adalah terletak pada arahnya yang bertentangan dengan Allah. Akibat dari dosa itu, maka gambar dan rupa Allah pada diri manusia menjadi rusak total. Dosa begitu merusak atau menghancurkan, sehingga hanya kematian Anak Allah saja yang dapat menghapusnya. Untuk memulihkan kembali gambar dan rupa Allah, manusia membutuhkan kasih karunia Allah dan iman dan menjadi ciptaan baru. Setelah menjadi ciptaan baru, manusia harus kembali kepada esensi diciptakan menurut gambar dan rupa Allah. Dari arti kata gambar dan rupa dapatlah kita melihat bagaimana esensi manusia. Pertama, Allah adalah patron dasar manusia. Kedua, manusia mencerminkan Allah. Dalam tugasnya sebagai tuan atas bumi, manusia mencerminkan Allah pencipta. Ketiga, manusia seperti Allah tetapi bukan Allah. Artinya, manusia memiliki potensi-potensi seperti Allah, tetapi manusia harus tetap mempertanggungjawabkan segala potensinya kepada Allah yang telah memberikan potensi dan tanggung jawab kepada manusia. Keempat, manusia harus mewakili Allah. Ia menciptakan manusia secara khusus, sesuai dengan gambar dan rupaNya haruslah kita mengetahui maksudnya dan kembali pada esensi tersebut.

Published: April 2021

Allah menciptakan manusia secara khusus, sesuai dengan gambar dan rupa-Nya. Artinya, manusia dimaksudkan untuk meneruskan karya Allah di bumi ini. Dalam hubungan dengan ciptaan yang lain, manusia ditentukan sebagai wakil Allah atas bumi dan segala isinya. Dengan demikian, manusia mutlak untuk terus berhubungan dengan Allah yang diwakilinya. Selain itu, manusia harus terus bergantung pada Allah. Kemanusiaannya terletak pada relasinya dengan Allah karena Allah merancang supaya Ia dapat menikmati suatu hubungan dengan manusia. Tujuan manusia, oleh sebab itu berpusat pada isu memiliki atau tidak memiliki hubungan dengan sang Pencipta. Ketika manusia mengenal-Nya, manusia dapat mengenali dirinya sendiri. Kemudian, manusia dapat hidup seperti yang dikehendaki-Nya dan menikmati Allah serta kebaikan-kebaikan-Nya. Namun, manusia harus tetap mempertanggungjawabkan segala potensinya kepada Allah yang telah memberikan potensi dan tanggung jawab itu kepadanya. Dalam bahasa Perjanjian Baru, manusia harus mempertanggungjawabkan segala karunia yang telah Allah berikan. Aspek khusus dari penciptaan manusia sebagai gambar/rupa Allah dinampakkan dalam tugas memelihara dan menjaga ciptaan seperti Allah memelihara ciptaan-Nya. Sebagai ciptaan yang mulia di antara ciptaan-ciptaan yang lain seyogianya tidak menjadikan manusia arogan, sebaliknya sungguh-sungguh bersyukur kepada Allah. Manusia yang sadar akan siapa yang menciptakannya mestinya akan tetap mengingat Sang Pencipta, sebagaimana yang ditegaskan oleh Pengkhotbah 12:1-8, “Ingatlah akan Penciptamu.”
Differential expression of parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase, PARK2, in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase, PARK2, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. PARK2 was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. PARK2 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of PARK2 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. PARK2 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
Content matters: Measures of contextual diversity must consider semantic content
Authors: Johns Brendan , Jones Michael N.
Published: April 2021

Measures of contextual diversity seek to replace word frequency by counting the number of contexts in which a word occurs rather than the raw number of occurrences (Adelman, Brown, & Quesada, 2006). It has repeatedly been shown that contextual diversity measures outperform word frequency on word recognition datasets (Adelman & Brown, 2008; Brysbaert & New, 2009). Recently, Hollis (2020) has questioned the importance of contextual diversity by demonstrating that when other variables of contextual occurrences are controlled for, diversity accounts for relatively small amounts of unique variance over word frequency. However, the analysis of Hollis (2020) did not take into account the semantic content of the contexts that words occur in. Johns, Dye, and Jones (2020) and Johns (2021) have recently shown that defining linguistic contexts at larger, and more ecologically valid, levels lead to contextual diversity measures that provide very large improvements over word frequency, especially when implemented with principles from the Semantic Distinctiveness Model of Jones, Johns, and Recchia (2012). Across a series of simulations, we demonstrate that the advantages of contextual diversity measures are dependent upon the usage of semantic representations of words to determine the uniqueness of contextual occurrences, where unique contextual occurrences provide a greater impact to a word’s lexical strength than redundant contextual occurrences.
The power of Dionysus – Effects of red wine on consciousness: a naturalistic study in a wine bar
Authors: Costa Rui , Madeira Arlindo , Barata Matilde , Wittmann Marc
Published: April 2021

There is lack of research on effects of red wine on consciousness when drank in wine bars designed to enhance the pleasurableness of wine drinking experience. Effects of a moderate dose of red wine (≈ 40.98 g of ethanol) on consciousness were examined in a naturalistic study taking place in a wine bar located in one of the most touristic areas of Lisbon, Portugal. One hundred two participants drank in one of three conditions: alone, in dyad, or in groups up to six people. Red wine increased pleasure and arousal, decreased the awareness of time, slowed the subjective passage of time, increased the attentional focus on the present moment, decreased body awareness, slowed thought speed, turned imagination more vivid, and made the environment become more fascinating. Red wine increased insightfulness and originality of thoughts, increased sensations of oneness with the environment, spiritual feelings, all-encompassing love, and profound peace. All changes in consciousness occurred regardless of volunteers drinking alone, in dyad or in group. Men and women did not report different changes in consciousness. Older age correlated with greater increases in pleasure. Younger age correlated with greater increases in fascination with the environment of the wine bar. Drinking wine in a contemporaneous Western environment designed to enhance the pleasurableness of the wine drinking experience may trigger changes in consciousness commonly associated with mystical-type states.
How Reliable is the Give-a-Number task?
Authors: Marchand Elisabeth , Barner David
Published: April 2021

The Give-a-Number task has become a gold standard of children’s number word comprehension and has been increasingly used to organize debate in developmental psychology. In this task, the experimenter asks children to give specific numbers of objects (e.g., 1 to 6), and based on their pattern of responses, children are classified into stages that can be readily related to other developmental milestones. The increasing popularity of Give-a-Number raises the question of how reliable it is, since the size of a correlation between two different tasks cannot reliably exceed the test- retest reliability of either measure taken individually. In Experiment 1, 2- to 4-year-old children were tested twice in a single session with Wynn’s (1992) version of the Give-a- Number task, which features a titrated design. In Experiment 2, we tested a second group of children with an alternative version that uses a larger number of trials in a non-titrated design. We found that in both cases the task was highly reliable in differentiating children who could accurately count from those who could not, but that reliability differed for specific numbers, and was more reliable for very small numbers (i.e., “one” and “two”) than for slightly larger ones (i.e., “three” and “four”). We discuss practical implications of these results for researchers studying numeracy and discuss further directions to assess the validity of the task.
Clergy Who Leave Congregational Ministry: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Hamm Allison , Eagle David
Published: April 2021

Since its inception in the 1960s, research on premature (pre-retirement) clergy attrition from congregational ministry has focused on identifying the factors that precipitate and mitigate ministry exits, while the rates at which clergy leave the ministry have been inconsistently tracked. The literature on clergy attrition is peppered with claims of alarmingly high rates of departure, however, these studies lack strong empirical support. The evidence, while fragmentary, consistently shows that pastors do not leave congregational ministry in large numbers. Incidence of attrition of about 1–2 percent per year is typical across Protestant denominations and among Roman Catholic priests. In addition, contrary to popular conceptions, there is little evidence attrition is particularly high in the first 5 years of congregational ministry. In terms of the reasons for leaving, among Protestants, the most common factor named is conflict with the congregation or denominational system; a smaller number leave to pursue personal goals or to care for family. Among Catholics, loneliness and isolation, tied in major part to the celibacy requirement, are the most significant reasons cited for leaving. Finances or a loss of faith are rarely cited as reasons for leaving among either Catholics or Protestants.
Bounded Reasoning and Higher-Order Uncertainty
Authors: Kets Willemien
Published: April 2021

A standard assumption in game theory is that players have an infinite depth of reasoning: they think about what others think and about what others think that othersthink, and so on, ad infinitum. However, in practice, players may have a finite depth of reasoning. For example, a player may reason about what other players think, but not about what others think he thinks. This paper proposes a class of type spaces that generalizes the type space formalism due to Harsanyi (1967) so that it can model players with an arbitrary depth of reasoning. I show that the type space formalism does not impose any restrictions on the belief hierarchies that can be modeled, thus generalizing the classic result of Mertens and Zamir (1985). However, there is no universal type space that contains all type spaces.
Teaching Structure with Molecular Visualization Tools. A Crash Course from Small Molecules to the HIV-1 Protease for Undergraduate Students
Authors: Mpeza Paraskevi E
Published: April 2021

One of the challenges in the teaching of chemistry to students in higher education is their introduction to the visualization and molecular depiction software, deepening thus their understanding and creating new conceptions in the physical and biological sciences. This paper describes the implementation of a learning unit for 1st and 2nd semester undergraduate students (that were not previously exposed to molecular visualizations) in agricultural technology for chemistry and biochemistry courses respectively. A series of educational activities are presented beginning with the use of simple molecular models as plastic and wooden balls for atoms and sticks for bonds, to enhance the previous knowledge of the 2-D structural conformations. The students are introduced in depth to the theory of chemical bonding, molecular shapes, and polarity. This represents a continuum of increased complexity in inquiry-based learning, starting from simple molecules and ending with the exploration of the shape and function of a protein molecule, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 protease; Thus easily leads to the study of the interactions between this protease and inhibitory drugs, via freely-available software tools. The gains in the students’ understanding and help for future courses and their career are analyzed.

Then the data were analyzed descriptively and analyzed by Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results showed: (1) Parents' attention has a direct and significant effect on the interest in choosing a major, meaning that the greater the attention of parents, the higher the student's interest in choosing a major. (2) Parent’s attention and ideals not directly affect academic ability, and academic ability does not affect the interest of majors. it means that the size of the parents' attention and the student's aspirations does not affect the student's academic ability and interest in the chosen major. (3) Ambition job directly affects the interest to choose a major, which means that the level of ambition will be in line with how much desire and interest in the majors since according to their interests. This shows that interest in choosing a major can increase along with increasing parental attention and student ambitions.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Breast cancer is still a major health problem in the world. In the case of breast cancer, surgery is the main treatment option besides chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy such as Artemisia vulgaris (AV). AV is cytotoxic selectively acts as a supplement to breast adenocarcinoma chemotherapy given the Adriamycin-Cyclophosphamide regimen, to improve chemotherapy response.The study was aimed to proving AV extract enhances the chemotherapy response in C3H mice with adenocarcinoma mammae given Adriamycin-Cyclophosphamide Chemotherapy.

Method: This study used Post test only control group design on 24 females C3H mice that were randomly selected and divided into four groups: group K (control), P1 (chemotherapy), P2 (extract), and P3 (combination). Adenocarcinoma mammae comes from the inoculation of donor mice. Chemotherapy of Adriamycin 60 mg / m 2 and Cyclophosphamide 600 mg / m 2 were given in two cycles. AV 13 mg (0.2 ml) was given once daily orally. CD34 were evaluated by imunohistochemical staining and tumor mass diameter were counted by calipers.

Result: The microvascular density CD34 and tumor mass diameter were obtained in groups of K, P1, P2, P3 respectively 60.76 ± 1.5; 39.70 ± 2.00; 57.10 ± 1.29; 35.26 ± 2.06 and 12.52 ± 1.49; 6.20 + 1.04; 9,94 + 1.21; 3.94 + 0.76. Statistical analysis showed significant differences in CD34 between groups K vs P1, P2, P3 (p = 0.001, p = 0.014, p = 0.001), P1 vs P2 and P3 (p = 0.001, p = 0.033) and P2 (P = 0.001). Tumor mass diameter between groups K vs P1, P2, P3 (p=0.001; p=0.014; p=0,001), P1 with P2 (p= 0.001) P1 with P3 (p = 0.033) and P2 with P3 (p = 0.001). Correlation analysis between CD34 with tumor mass diameter was found to have significant correlation (p = 0.001 and r = 0.932).

Conclusion: Artemisia vulgaris is a potential to reduce angiogenesis in terms of decreasing the microvascular density CD34 and tumor mass diameter of adenocarcinoma mammae of C3H mice treated with Adriamycin-Cyclophosphamide chemotherapy and can improve the effectivity.
An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Design and Implementation of a University-oriented Internal Communications Strategy for a Bachelor of General Studies Degree Program
Authors: Bazata Devon Cadwell , Cox Thomas Dwight , Boote David
Published: April 2021

Leading an interdisciplinary program change is challenging. Effectively communicating those changes across a University brings additional challenges associated with organizational and cultural differences across administrative and academic units. This design-based research study used exploratory sequential mixed methods to develop a strategic internal communication plan for a new Bachelor of General Studies degree. Data included interviews with four university administrators and faculty who were involved in the development of the BGS degree program followed by a survey completed by 161 staff and faculty advisors and administrators outside of the program. Interview and survey results were interpreted using sociocultural learning, co-orientation theory, and a two-way symmetrical model of communication. Findings emphasize the importance of cultural differences across administrative and academic units: collectivism (community), professionalism (cooperation and trust), balanced power-distance (student-centered learning balanced with the expertise and authority of the faculty), pragmatism (practical results and blunt pragmatic communication style), and a results-oriented approach. The results were used to design an internal marketing plan that promotes sociocultural learning across cultural differences within the university and reciprocal exchange of information among undergraduate faculty and advisors.

Research on the Influence of Urban-rural Dual Structure on the Social Mobility Function of Rural Education — Based on the Empirical Investigation of the Loss of Rural Junior High School Students in S City, Hubei Province
Authors: Li Miao

The Model Construction and Path Exploration of Ruling by Law
Authors: Zhang Xuanming
Published: April 2021

From the time when it came to power, the Chinese Communist Party’s mode of governance has shifted from "ruling according to policies" to "ruling according to law." Domestic scholars have done a lot of discussion on the basic connotation and related concepts of governing by law. Most of these theoretical discussions are static and are an analysis and explanation of the actual situation. The Communist Party’s ruling turn is an inevitable choice of regularity within the ruling logic, and more of a dynamic choice. The study of the logic of governing by law can more clearly discover the law of development followed by the Communist Party's way of governing. After this static analysis, the development route within the logic can be extracted. Combining the research results of academia, construct a dynamic mode of governing by law, find the subject, object and development path of governing by law, so as to clarify the reasonable boundary of civil rights, party power and political power, coordinate the development relationship among the masses, political parties and the state, and standardize The progressive process of the will of the people, the will of the party, and the will of the state.

This cohort had just reached adolescence and it was imperative to understand their sexuality and 26 ALWHA aged 15 to 19 years, their parents/guardians and health care providers participated in the study. An elicitation survey was conducted among this group followed by Focus Group Discussions. In-depth interviews were conducted among 8 and 25 parents/guardians and health care providers respectively. Thematic content analysis was adopted to analyze the data. The following themes were derived: difficulty to disclose one’s HIV-infected status, parents/guardians failure to discuss sexuality issues with adolescents, mode of HIV transmission, sexual activity and inactivity, sex education, sexual violations, conscripted intimacy, and the right to sexual relations. The same issues were expressed by parents/guardians and health care providers. Sexuality education needs to be incorporated and strengthened at both nursing curricula and at policy level. Programes that reinforce parent- child communication should be instituted and strengthened at community, institutional and national levels.

Authors: IFISS SAIDA , MSSASSI SAID
Published: April 2021

This research is a comparative study between the famous Letter 53 of Imam Ali Ibn Abi Taleb and the UN Agenda 2030. With a textual analysis of the 117 passages of the fourth Caliph's epistle, we study sustainable development goals (SDGs) stated by Agenda 2030 in Letter 53. Besides, we analyze the governance of sustainable development, according to Imam Ali's economic vision. In the light of this comparative study, it has been observed that SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 of Agenda 2030 are the most expressed in the said Letter. Finally, we conclude our analysis with a comparative table showing a substantial similarity between the two charters' vision. Nevertheless, some differences appear in specific themes' objectives and a growing distinction between the SDGs and those grouped under Innovation and Technological Improvement.

Authors: CAI YUEJUN , Zhang Jessica
Published: April 2021

Along with more and more emphasis on the importance and benefits of entrepreneurship to the society and an increasing number of various programs offered in the university to edify students about entrepreneurship and cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit in the campus, fewer previous researchers are studying about the optimization of the currently allocated resources. This study aims at exploring the importance and other utility of university incubated entrepreneurs as the motivation factor to entrepreneurship intention among university students. With the convenience sampling method of the questionnaire, the study has collected 165 valid response mainly from a university’s students in Hong Kong in this pilot test. The analysis results indicated that there is a relatively strong relationship between the existence of incubated entrepreneurs at the campus and entrepreneurship intention among university students yet the perception of attainment to entrepreneurship cannot moderate such relationship and the desirability of entrepreneurship can partly mediate this relationship. The research result points out the feasibility of promoting the university incubated entrepreneurs as a role model to university students, and the importance of pragmatic resources for designing the entrepreneurial education and programs in the future.

Since March 2019, local NGOs in Pakistan are organizing “Aurat March” (Women March) in month of March to raise voice against indigenous feminine issues and violence against women. In hindu-originated society like Pakistan, where Islamic women rights haven’t implemented in its true spirit yet, digesting such a “liberal” act is not easily digestible. Thus different intellectual classes took social media on fire to outdo each other and central topic of cross arguments was slogans raised in the March. Raising slogans is a traditional way of weaker class in society to demonstrate against discrimination and emit emotional suffocation. To study underlying meanings of much debated slogans of Aurat March in Pakistan, discourse analysis is employed which also facilitated to indicate emerging dimension socio-religious debates and opinions towards feminism in Pakistan.
