Authors: Wicaksono Bimo Aji , Saurina Nia
Published: January 2022

Perkembangan start-up sorgum terbilang cukup pesat dewasa ini. Sorgum mulai banyak diminati karena masyarakat mulai mengenal sorgum sebagai bahan pangan yang memiliki banyak keunggulan. Semakin berkembangnya start-up sorgum timbul masalah dimana customer kurang mengetahui penjual sorgum. Begitu juga sebaliknya, start-up sorgum memiliki cakupan konsumen yang kurang luas sehingga penjualan produknya pun tidak maksimal. Dengan metode pengelompokkan jenis varietas sorgum dan penyesuaian minat konsumen terhadap varietas sorgum, menggunakan sistem penjualan yang berbasiskan web diharapkan bagi start-up dapat menambah jangkauan konsumennya. Di sisi lain konsumen bisa lebih mudah mengetahui penjual sorgum, sehingga konsumen dapat membeli sorgum sesuai dengan varietas kebutuhan mereka.
On Ibn Ḥazm’s Rhetoric in al-Radd ʿalā Ibn al-Naghrīla
Authors: Mazuz Haggai
Published: January 2022

In his polemic composition al-Radd ‘alā Ibn al-Naghrīla al-Yahūdī, Abū Muḥammad ‘Alī b. Aḥmad b. Ḥazm al-Andalusī (994/1064 CE) attempts to demonstrate the Jews’ taḥrīf (falsification) of the Torah by citing several examples. This article intends to shed some light on an important aspect of Ibn Ḥazm’s rhetoric as reflected in al-Radd ‘alā Ibn al-Naghrīla. I argue, however, that by juxtaposing some of Ibn Ḥazm’s arguments with the relevant Jewish sources, we find that in some of these examples he himself deliberately misrepresents and misquotes explicit Torah texts, undermines their authority and overlooks parallel Qur’ānic accounts of which he must have been aware. Ibn Ḥazm’s tendentiousness and double standard in this matter stem from his wish to prove that the Torah was falsified and, by so doing, to lend further support to the Qurʾānic argument regarding the taḥrīf.
Neohumanismo y geopolítica en el Mediterráneo actual. Una lectura del pensamiento de Mohammed Arkoun.
Authors: Scarpati Michele
Published: January 2022

Este artículo analiza el espacio geopolítico mediterráneo contemporáneo a través de una interpretación del neohumanismo de Mohammed Arkoun. Desde la publicación de su tesis doctoral, titulada L’humanisme arabe au IVe-Xe siècle: Miskawayh philosophe et historien (1970), el pensador argelino suscitó un debate sobre la existencia de un humanismo árabe en el siglo X. En la elaboración arkouniana, este movimiento humanista es comparable y, en cierto sentido anticipa, el humanismo que se desarrolló en el Quattrocento y Cinquecento en Italia y que luego se extendió por toda Europa. Reabrir la página de esta historia humanista significa redescubrir las evidencias de una historia común, que ha- ce que Europa coincida con los países araboislámicos, con sus referencias a toda una tradición religiosa y de pensamiento que une elementos culturales de Europa, Asia y África. Hoy en día, la reactivación de la cuestión humanista, según Arkoun, asume un papel importante, sobre todo en el marco de una propuesta más amplia de repensamiento del espacio del Mediterráneo.

El objetivo de este trabajo es la edición árabe y, a partir de ella, la traducción al español de la segunda y última maqāla del Kitāb fī l-šarāb o Tratado sobre el vino de al-Rāzī, obra estructurada en dos partes: una primera dedicada a la descripción de los beneficios y los perjuicios que produce el consumo del vino, y una segunda que presenta las diferentes clases de vinos. Es esta segunda a la que hemos dedicado este artículo. El manuscrito del que hemos partido para llevar a cabo esta labor ha sido el 5240 de la Biblioteca Nacional de España, volumen misceláneo compuesto por once tratados de muy diferentes ex- tensiones, cuyos temas giran en torno a la medicina, la farmacología y la dietética. La totalidad de la obra se extiende a lo largo de catorce folios (fols. 73r-86v), y la parte que aquí nos ocupa está entre los fols. 82r-86v.
Hacia la forja de las identidades autónomas en el cine árabe de autor. Desde los procesos de descolonización, a los años sesenta
Authors: Hotait Salas Laila
Published: January 2022

El objetivo de esta investigación fue, en su inicio, demostrar una relación entre el surgir de la identidad del cine libanés y el proceso de descolonización. Pero, tras el visionado de las películas nombradas a lo largo del artículo, así como las lecturas de las obras en torno al cine árabe - llevando a cabo una titánica y laboriosa búsqueda de los títulos nombrados en diferentes bibliotecas y cinematecas del mundo, pues es imposible encontrar estos títulos reunidos en un solo lugar – se demostró que la hipótesis no abarcaba el hallazgo: la correlación entre el surgir de una identidad cinematográfica nacional de cada país árabe y la el proceso de descolonización en todos los países árabes era patente, además de que este proceso era interrelacionado. Por tanto, no solo en el caso del cine libanés, sino en el de todos los cines árabes de autor se forjaron durante, y a partir de, dichos procesos de descolonización. Algo que se destila tanto de los temas tratados en las películas, como de sus sistemas de producción. Además, esta interrelación panarabista fue determinante para el forjamiento de las posteriores identidades nacionales de los cines árabes contemporáneos caracterizados por otorgar un amplio peso a la voz autoral, así como por primar la elección de temas sociales de impacto, ambas características legadas por el surgir de este cine durante los procesos de descolonización
El año que viene en Tánger: la ciudad literaria de Ramón Buenaventura
Authors: Giménez Caro Isabel
Published: January 2022

El objetivo del presente artículo es mostrar el mapa literario de Tánger en la novela El año que viene en Tánger del escritor tangerino Ramón Buenaventura (1940) para analizar cómo su obra se construye aparentemente en torno a dos ejes: memoria y sexo que, a su vez, confluyen en  una sola idea, Tánger. Siguiendo los estudios en torno al exilio del comparatista Claudio Guillén y desde una perspectiva metodológica hermenéutica, pretendemos presentar la recuperación -o la pérdida- de la identidad del autor a través del lenguaje en su literatura, una identidad que parte del profundo desarraigo que sufre Buenaventura cuando, en 1958, se siente expulsado del paraíso. Lo expuesto nos lleva a concluir que es a través del lenguaje literario sostenido en la memoria como Ramón Buenaventura consigue configurar su ciudad natal, Tánger, que nada tiene que ver con la mítica imagen proyectada en los últimos años.

Authors:   Kotelnikov IRE RAS, Fryazino branch, Vvedensky Sq. 1, Fryazino, 141120, Russia, Nazarov L.E.
Published: January 2022

The article describes the results of an iterative algorithm for symbol-by-symbol receiving signal structures based on signals with orthogonal frequency multiplexing, pseudorandom sequences and error-correcting low-density codes. The results of emulation this iterative reception algorithm for the signal structures in the presence of channel concentrated interferences are given and the stability of signal structures to the distorting influence of the considered class of interference is shown. It is shown that a signal design based on a low-density code in combination with an iterative algorithm for symbol-by-symbol reception is more effective with respect to noise immunity compared to a convolutional code in combination with a Viterbi reception algorithm implementing the maximum likelihood rule.

After collecting information about 20,000 modifications of XX century aircraft, the author identified priority designs with landing gears. It is shown that the RB-1 aircraft, often called the first aircraft with a retractable landing gear, really isn’t the first one, and the creation of a retractable landing gear was aimed not at the reduction of the aircraft drag, but at the improvement of take-off and landing characteristics. For the first time, statistical data on the using of the retractable landing gear scheme in the world aircraft engineering are povided.
Lem's Spheromachia as a Threat to Space Expansion
Authors:   Writers' Union of St. Petersburg, PERVUSHIN Anton I.
Published: January 2022

In September 2021, the reading world celebrated the centenary of the Polish writer Stanislaw Lem’s birth, who is known not only as one of the greatest science fiction writers of the twentieth century, but also as a futurist, many of whose predictions come true. In Poland, this year is proclaimed the year of Stanislaw Lem. In his work, he often turned to the prospects for the development of space technologies, pointing out, among other things, the threats that arise during the militarization of cosmonautics. Among such threats, he saw the emergence of spheromachy – an automated battle space that will cover the entire planet and the nearest orbits, after which it can become an obstacle to the development of civilization.

PERMANENT LUNAR STATION AS RUSSIA’S PRIORITY IN SPACE RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Institute of Astronomy of the RAS, LEONOV Vladislav A.
Published: January 2022

The processes of our civilization’s development at the end of the last century revealed a large number of different problems in all spheres of society, from economy to social environment. Global climate changes together with the pandemic events of recent years have shown that humans, as a species, are still threatened by hazards of natural origin that they cannot yet cope with. Humanity is on the threshold of many more new dangers and post-industrial risks, and the solution of fundamentally new tasks that will be set before science will require revision of the scientific research strategy, analysis of all possible algorithms and alternatives for the development of society. It is also impossible to exclude complete rethinking of our civilization’s future, one of the key aspects of which is likely to be space expansion.
Sharing Economy and Fast Fashion (Sustainability and virtual consumer behavior: A review and research agenda)
Authors: Ruiz-Navarro Ramon , Hintzmann Carolina , Corrons August
Published: January 2022

The main objective of this work, through a
literature review, is to contextualize the importance of fashion consumer behavior
towards a more sustainable economy, emphasizing the sharing economy as an
alternative to fast fashion through virtual networks, and therefore also
highlights the use that consumers make of new technologies (social networks,
mobile applications, or collaborative platforms). The specific objectives are
none other than showing the need to contribute to the reduction of pollution,
damage to the environment and the overconsumption of natural resources (water, energy,
or materials) involved in the manufacture of clothing. All this linked to
consumer behavior, innovation, electronic commerce, the sharing economy, and
the entrepreneurship of the social and solidarity economy. It is for this
reason that this work is approached from a perspective that can help to promote
the exchange of fashion, examining the antecedents of the intention of
consumers to participate in virtual fashion networks.

The consolidation of the sharing economy in the
fashion industry could offer social, economic, and environmental benefits, so
this research also wants to highlight the convenience of identifying and
analyzing the different beliefs of people with similar behaviors using this
type of virtual fashion networks and platforms, and that, due to the
confinement of COVID-19, seems to have increased exponentially.

The value that is provided is to establish a
common framework for discussion, within which the research has been carried
out, since there is still much to analyze about consumer behavior in this
context, and therefore the future of research in this area must bring
together social, economic,
and technological research to provide a more holistic understanding.

It is desirable that sustainability and the
need for more sustainable consumption are a motivating influence for future research
on the sharing economy related to fast fashion and virtual consumer behavior.

Published: January 2022

The current wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is due to the B.1.1.529 variant of the SARS-CoV-2 designated as Omicron. AYUSH-64 a poly herbal drug developed by Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) has been recommended by Ministry of AYUSH in asymptomatic, mild to moderate COVID-19 patients. One of the earlier in-silico studies had shown the binding of the constituents of AYUSH-64 to the SARS-CoV-2 drug targets. The current study proposes to understand their binding of the top four phytochemicals to the same drug targets of the Omicron variant with respect to crucial drug targets, main protease (Mpro) and receptor binding domain (RBD) of spike protein. An enhanced molecular docking methodology, namely, ensemble docking has been used in the particular study. Using MD simulations and clustering approach it was observed that the Mpro and RBD-spike of Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 tends to attain 4 and 8 conformational respectively. Docking these individual conformations with akummicine-N-oxide, akummiginone, echitamidine-n-oxide, and echitaminic acid revealed that the binding was better in case of the mutant as compared to the wild type. Hence, it can be inferred that, these phytochemicals from AYUSH-64 formulation may have the potential to act against the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2.
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND EDUCATION ON HERITAGE SITES: A NEW ERA OF COLLECTIVE ACCOUNTABILITY IN ZIMBABWEAN HERITAGE MANAGEMENT FOCUSING ON MUSIMBIRA HERITAGE SITE, BIKITA (1st Draft)
Authors: Tavingeyi Tatenda
Published: January 2022

Community participation is one of the best ways to ensure that heritage sites are well-managed and conserved. This can only be achieved in a scenario where the community in question has an adequate understanding of what they should be managing, i.e., the broader spectrum of their heritage. Such understanding can be induced through community educational campaigns and community-based heritage-managed systems. These and other methods have been considered given the fact that colonial structures have resulted in the alleged “brainwashing” of the natives on the usefulness of their heritage, thereby resulting in them neglecting their heritage. It is in this regard that, the NMMZ (National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe) overseeing the management of heritage sites in Zimbabwe has been witnessed taking certain measures to ensure that heritage is well managed. However, such efforts have in many cases gone in vain because of the NMMZ’s failure to fully recognize the communities in their management strategies. “Such blunders by the organization” have thus resulted in a conflict of interests between the organization and the communities. Telephone interviews, field individual observations and a focus group discussion were conducted as data collection methodologies. Therefore, it was concluded in this paper that the interpretation of the site and awareness through educational campaigns enables the first phase towards heritage conservation to be highly achievable, in the case of Musimbira ruins. Hence conservation being a broad term cannot be achieved only by one group of stakeholders but by different groups. It is again in view of this paper, with Musimbira ruins as the present study area that educating as well as including communities close to different cultural heritage sites is one of the best heritage management strategies.

Published: January 2022

Agriculture is considered the backbone of the Indian economy. The existence of Indian agriculture is traced back to the Indus Valley culture. The importance of agriculture as a means of livelihood and trade in the pre-independence period is still alive today. Farming, once practiced in a traditional way, is now turning to modernity. If we look at this modernity from the Indian point of view, it is clear that the green revolution in the agricultural sector in the country after 1960 is a milestone. Going further, it can be seen that in 2007, the share of agriculture and allied sectors in the country's GDP was 16.6 percent. During the same period, 52% of the population in the country was engaged in agriculture. The share of agriculture in the country's 7 2.7 trillion economies in 2018-19 is about 15.9 percent and employment 49 percent. The dependence of the Indian people on agriculture and the contribution of the agricultural sector to the economic development of the country is declining day by day. The main objective of this research paper is to study the impact of the agricultural policies of this country so far and the plight of the farmers.
Characterizing positive and negative ‘voicers’ in elite sport teams: The role of the Five Factor Model and narcissism in players’ frequency and passing on of voice
Authors: Van Puyenbroeck Stef , Stouten Jeroen , Hofmans Joeri , Van Meervelt Koen , Broek Gert Vande
Published: January 2022

Objective: This study examined the role of the Five Factor Model and grandiose narcissism in players’ positive (i.e., constructive voice, supportive voice) and negative voice (i.e., defensive voice, destructive voice) in elite sport teams. Method: Players from six field hockey and seven korfball teams from the two highest national levels were assessed for four weeks. Using social network analyses, players’ personality was related to their self-reported voice frequency, their voice frequency as perceived by all teammates (other-ratings), and the extent to which they pass on voice. Results: Extraversion was positively related to players’ frequency of positive and negative voice. Other traits such as conscientiousness and emotional stability were only related to, respectively, positive or negative types of voice. Not all personalities (e.g., extraversion) were consistent in how they assess their own voice versus how others perceive this. Interestingly, traits such as extraversion, emotional stability and the agentic facet of narcissism were found to predict the passing on of voice. Conclusion: This study explored the importance of personality for (a) players’ frequency of a differentiated set of positive and negative voice and (b) the extent to which they function as ‘gates’ that more covertly pass on voice. Further, the results provide perspective on how specific personalities view their voice behavior versus how their teammates perceive their voice behavior. In this way, this study is a first step in identifying players who have the potential to endanger or strengthen a team in a clear or subtle, yet influential way.

Subsurface Flow Batteries: Concept, Benefits and Hurdles
Authors: Waltham David , Holt Katherine , Kuenzel Stefanie , Basu Anirban , Lecoeur Nora
Published: January 2022

Storage of flow-battery electrolytes in aquifers is a novel concept for storing electrical energy in the subsurface. Flow-batteries operate by electrochemical transformations of electrolytes, rather than of electrodes, and their energy capacity can therefore be increased indefinitely by using larger electrolyte tanks. Saline aquifers may be the cheapest way to provide large-scale storage for this purpose. Storage would be within high-porosity, high-permeability reservoirs sealed by impermeable layers but—in contrast to hydrocarbon, H2 or CO2 storage—electrolytes would be trapped in lows (rather than highs) of such formations as a consequence of their high density compared to natural brines.We investigate a range of electrochemical, geochemical, microbiological and engineering hurdles which must be overcome if subsurface flow-batteries are to become a practical technology. No insurmountable problems were found but further laboratory studies are needed. Our economic assessment suggests that subsurface flow batteries should be more cost effective than hydrogen-based power-to-gas approaches for discharge/charge timescales of around a day but that hydrogen will be cheaper for longer-term storage. Hence, meeting future energy-storage needs may involve a combination of both approaches.
Conceptualising Moral Integrity: an analysis of 21 uses
Authors: Mikuzis Julius , Mills John Paul , O'Gorman Rick
Published: January 2022

Integrity is an often mentioned, but, ultimately, not well-researched concept. There are numerous attempts to conceptualise integrity within academic literature, however there is no noticeable consensus. Palanski and Yammarino (2007) made significant progress towards consolidating the different views of integrity by disentangling word-action consistency (also known as behavioural integrity [Simons, 2002]) as a key part of integrity from the overall construct. The present study follows a similar path and attempts to disentangle moral integrity from the overall construct of integrity by analysing how it is defined and used in academic literature. The integrative definition is presented.
Can culture beat Covid-19? Evidence that exposure to facemasks with cultural symbols increases solidarity
Authors: Perach Rotem , Limbu Maliyana
Published: January 2022

Facemasks have become integral to everyday life. We propose that exposure to facemasks with a solidarity-related cultural symbol can activate cultural values such as mutual trust and increase corresponding interpersonal perceptions, thereby enhancing collective resilience in the Covid-19 pandemic. In three (two of which preregistered) studies, we examined whether exposure to facemasks with a solidarity-related cultural symbol predicts positive interpersonal perceptions, and whether this depends on death awareness. Across studies, exposure to facemasks with a cultural symbol (either pride flag or National Health Service) increased positive interpersonal perceptions, an index of solidarity, in people for whom this symbol represents a meaningful social identity. This was found whether participants were reminded of death, a neutral experience, or a negative experience. Importantly, in Study 3, exposure to facemasks with a solidarity-related cultural symbol (vs. surgical) led to greater increases in positive interpersonal perceptions when death awareness was high. Together, our findings suggest that wearing facemasks with a cultural symbol that relates to solidarity can be a vehicle for shaping people’s personality impressions of others. Applied directions for the activation of people’s social identities via facemask selection to promote collective resilience in the Covid-19 pandemic are discussed.
Associations of Smartphone and Tablet Use in Early Childhood with Psychosocial, Cognitive and Sleep Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Mallawaarachchi Sumudu R. , Anglim Jeromy , Hooley Merrilyn , Horwood Sharon
Published: January 2022

The current study provides the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the associations of smartphone and tablet use with psychosocial, cognitive, and sleep-related factors in early childhood development. The meta-analysis aimed to provide an overall assessment of the evidence while the systematic review offered a rich overview of the methodological approaches adopted to assess these associations. Studies were included in the review if they examined the association of smartphone or tablet use with a measure of psychosocial development, cognitive development, or sleep in toddlers or preschoolers. Out of 1050 articles that were initially identified, 26 studies were included in the final sample of the systematic review, of which 19 were included in the meta-analysis. Data were screened, extracted, and synthesized according to PRISMA guidelines. A random-effects meta-analysis of correlations found a significant yet weak association of increased smartphone and tablet use with poorer overall child developmental factors. Additionally, a similar but stronger association was found between parental perceptions of problematic device use and poorer overall child factors. Meta-correlations with device use were significant for sleep, but not for psychosocial and cognitive factors. Overall, the results suggest that longitudinal cohort and experimental investigations would elucidate more causal relationships of child factors with smartphone and tablet use. Employing multiple methods of screen-use assessment, and considering the multiple levels of proximal and distal influences on child smartphone and tablet use, would also be useful. Adopting more rigorous research practices in the future, will facilitate deeper insights into the potential developmental implications of smartphone and tablet use in early childhood.
Existential Concerns in OCD with Aggressive and Sexual Obsessions
Authors: Menzies Rachel E , Menzies Ross , Chawla Shagun
Published: January 2022

Previous research has highlighted the potential role of existential concerns (ECs) in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). However, empirical research has thus far only demonstrated the role of one existential issue in this disorder: namely, death anxiety. The present study explored the relationships between OCD symptoms and five ECs: Death anxiety, meaninglessness, isolation, identity, and guilt. In particular, the associations between these concerns and sexual and aggressive obsessions were examined. The sample consisted of 48 treatment-seeking individuals diagnosed with OCD. The results revealed that the five ECs were significantly associated with overall OCD severity. In addition, as hypothesised, death anxiety was significantly associated with aggressive obsessions, but not with sexual obsessions. Further, the ECs of identity, meaninglessness, and guilt were uniquely associated with sexual obsessions. The majority of these relationships remained significant after controlling for neuroticism. Clinical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

One of the most common distinctions in long-term memory is that between semantic (i.e., one’s general knowledge of the world) and episodic (i.e., recollection of contextually-specific events from one’s personal past). However, emerging cognitive neuroscience data suggest a surprisingly large overlap between the neural correlates of semantic and episodic memory. Moreover, personal semantic memories (such as knowledge of autobiographical facts or memory for repeated events) have been studied little and do not easily fit into the standard semantic-episodic dichotomy. Here we used fMRI to directly compare brain activity during general and personal semantic, and episodic processing. Forty-eight participants were scanned while they verified statements concerning general facts, autobiographical facts, repeated events, and unique events. In multivariate analysis (i.e., Partial Least Squares), all four types of memory involved activity within the same network of brain regions bilaterally: frontal pole, paracingulate gyrus, medial frontal cortex, middle and superior temporal gyrus, precuneus, posterior cingulate, angular gyrus, superior lateral occipital cortex, also the left parahippocampal gyrus and left hippocampus. Yet the four memory types differentially engaged this network, increasing in activity from general to autobiographical facts, from autobiographical facts to repeated events, and from repeated to unique events. These neuroimaging data, and complementary behavioral data obtained outside the scanner, are inconsistent with a strict separation of declarative memory systems. Rather, they are compatible with a component process model, in which semantic, personal semantic, and episodic memory rely on different weightings of elementary processes, such as sensory-perceptual imagery, spatial and temporal features, and self-reflection.
The Computer, A Choreographer? Aesthetic Responses to Computer-Generated Dance Choreography

Published: January 2022

Is artificial intelligence (AI) changing our culture or creating its own? With advancements in AI and machine learning, artistic creativity is moving to a brave new world of possibility and complexity, while at the same time posing challenging questions, such as what defines something as art, what is the role of human creativity in an automated world, and do we evaluate artificial art in the same way as art made by humans? Across two pre-registered and statistically powered experiments we shed light on the nature of aesthetic responses toward computer-generated art by investigating observer prejudices against computer-generated dance choreography, and the impact of expertise and pre-conceived beliefs about the origin of artistic creation. Our results provide substantive evidence that an explicit bias exists among dance experts against computer-generated choreography, and the mere belief about a dance work’s origin biases aesthetic responses toward artworks among both dance experts and dance naïve participants. The implications of the current serve to inform several disciplines across the arts and sciences including but not limited to empirical aesthetics, artificial intelligence, engineering, robotics, and social cognition and neuroscience. Along with physical form and content of artificial agents and art productions, the viewers’ knowledge and attitudes toward artistic AI and artificial agents will need to be optimised for effective human-computer/human-AI interactions.

Problems and Solutions to alleviate Poverty in Nepal
Authors: Sah Badri Narayan
Published: January 2022

Poverty is one of the main problems in Nepal. In order to alleviate poverty various attempts have been implemented for poverty reduction. As per the policies of the periodic plan that started six decades ago different programmes are conducted. Both national as well as international organizations are carrying out research activities to alleviate poverty. According to the 9th plan (1997-2002), the percent of population under poverty line was 38 percent which was aimed to reduce to 30 percent as per the 10th plan (2002-2007) but remained unsuccessful. While in the 12th plan (2012-2017) the percent of population under the poverty line was successfully reduced to 25.2 percent. According to the NLSS survey report the percent of population under the poverty line in the year 1995/96, 2003/04 and 2010/11 was 41.8 percent, 30.9 percent and 25.2 percent respectively. With long term economic growth poverty, inequality and unemployment can be eliminated. But it is definitely a challenge. However, the 13th plan (2070/71-2072/73) and 14th plan (2073/74-2075/76) reduced the poverty percent to 21.6 percent and 18.7 percent respectively. Similarly, in the 15th plan (2076/77-2080/81) targeted to reduce the poverty from 18.7 percent to 11.0 percent. Finally, poverty is assumed to be zero by the year 2100/01 (NPC 15th Plan2076/77-2080/81). But this is a big challenge due to the Covid-19 pandemic and its second wave, because Nepalese living below the poverty line are highly vulnerable due to Covid pandemic.
Analysis of Employment and Economic Patriotism: A Case of Nepal
Authors: Pandey Baikuntha
Published: January 2022

Deficiency in demand is the host of almost all economic problems in the modern world.Economic growth and rate of employment has positive relations, but productivity of workers inversely affects the employment growth. Employment challenge in a developing country like Nepal may manifest in several forms. Firstly, there is a quantitative dimension in employment that employment growth may fall short of labour force growth giving rise to open unemployment. Secondly, low productivity earnings associated with a sizeable segment of the employed population. Eemployment patriotism is the judicial blend of employment and economic patriotism. Every government action is needed to be guided by employment generation motives. In addition to the increased pressure due to an unprecedented volume of COVID-19 induced returnees, the economic downturn due to the pandemic may also reduce the global demand for migrant workers. In such an alarming case, Nepal needs to prepare for employment patriotism policy.

Published: January 2022

Perception of the consumer towards the selection of cosmetic product is influenced by the packaging of the product however empirical research on understanding how visual effects of packaging influence women’ consequent product and brand evaluation is scant. This study examines the buying behavior toward the effect of visual packaging on perceived product’s quality, product’s value, and brand preference. A self-administered questionnaire developed from the literature was used to conduct the response survey in January 2020 on patan area where response of 315 women-participants were received during the survey The empirical results show that attitudes toward visual packaging have the major influence on perception towards product quality and brand preference on buying behavior. Moreover, classic and simple style packaging is popular in Nepalese context. Furthermore, consumers in Lalitpur City were not different than consumers from other cities.
