عقیدہ ختم نبوت اور عصر حاضر کے چیلنجز کا فکری مطالعہ
Authors:   Lecturer, Islamic Studies, Government Boys College Degree, Manghopir, Karachi., Sarwer Syed Muhammad Nasim
Published: July 2022

Allah started the chain of Prophethood from Hazrat Adam Alaih-i-Salam and it ended with the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Muhammad (ﷺ) is the last Prophet. In the Islamic terminology having this faith is called Aqeedah Khatm-e-Nubuwwat.The whole Muslim Ummah coherence on the belief of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat. All the expounders and exegetics have concord on the meanings of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat. i.e. there is neither any type of Prophet nor any sort of messenger after Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ). It is also concordat that there is no other interpretation or appropriation in the meanings of the word Khatm-e-Nubuwwat.Similarly, the ummah of the Prophet (ﷺ) is the last ummah. Belief in the end of prophethood is the basic belief of Muslims. False prophets have been attacking this belief since the demise of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiani claimed prophethood in the subcontinent but the scholars declared it to be constitutionally false by practical and academically arguments. They are constantly working to promote and harm the Muslims. Now these Qadiani and anti-Islamic forces have re-established themselves and are targeting the younger generation. It is very important to understand these contemporary challenges, to make the new generation aware of this tribulation and to connect them with the Qur'an, Sunnah and Seerat-e- Mubarkah.

Authors: Puspitasari Dwi Juli , Sosidi Husain , Prismawiryanti Prismawiryanti
Published: July 2022

Kurangnya sumber belajar terutama prasarana praktikum menyebabkan praktikum di sekolah tidak terlaksana. Pokok bahasan materi asam basa yang seharusnya berpraktikum tidak dapat diterapkan karena keterbatasan indikator. Hasil pengamatan di lapangan menunjukkan siswa tidak bisa membedakan larutan asam dan basa karena tidak mendapat paktikum. Guru mata pelajaran kimia di beberapa SMA di Kabupatem Donggala tidak melaksanakan praktikum pada materi asam basa karena belum pernah menggunakan bahan alam seperti bunga sebagai pembuat bahan kertas pH. Olehnya diperlukan peningkatan pemahaman kepada guru mengenai konsep asam basa dan bahan alam yang dapat digunakan sebagai indikator alami pengganti indikator sintetik. Kegiatan pengabdian ini diikuti oleh 10 peserta yang terdiri dari guru-guru kimia anggota MGMP kimia Kabupaten Donggala. Kegiatan pengabdian dilaksanakan dengan pemahaman konsep asam basa dan pemanfaatan bahan alam sebagai indikator alami serta melakukan demontrasi dan penbimbingan pembuatan kertas pH dari bahan alam(bunga). Kegiatan ini memberi tambahan pengetahuan bagi guru-guru dalam pemanfaatan bahan alam sebagai bahan pengganti indikator sintetik dalam praktikum materi asam basa sehingga diharapkan kualitas pembelajaran meningkat.

Published: July 2022

The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of leader-member exchange in the relationship between motivational language and loyalty to supervisor. The population of this correlational study consisted of primary, secondary, and high schools in Gaziantep, Turkey during the 2020-2021 academic year. The research sample included randomly determined 511 teachers through unequal cluster sampling technique. In data analysis, descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients were estimated. Then, the model, which was based on the theoretical framework, was tested through structural equation modelling. According to research results, teachers’ perceptions of motivational language, loyalty to supervisor, and leader-member exchange were found to be relatively high. There were positive and high-level relationships between motivational language, loyalty to supervisor, and leader-member exchange. The results of structural equation modelling analysis indicated that the leader-member exchange partially mediated the relationship between motivational language and loyalty to supervisor. The research results revealed that the motivational language of school administrators was a significant determinant of teachers’ perception of leader-member exchange and their loyalty to supervisor. Thus, it seemed necessary to establish high-quality communication, appreciate their efforts, and support teachers to increase their loyalty to the administrator. Moreover, school administrators’ guiding teachers for their work, encouraging them using motivational language, and making them feel a sense of belonging and commitment to the school will positively affect teachers’ loyalty to the administrator.

Moskowisation of Consciousness of Western Ukrainian Population by Means of the Party-Soviet Press (Based on the Materials of the Archive of the Chernivtsi Regional Newspaper "Soviet Bukovyna". The 1940s—50s of the ХХ Century)
Authors: Tymoshyk Mykola
Published: July 2022

For the first time, based on archival materials, the subject of the research was the practice of Moskowization of the consciousness of the Ukrainian population of Galicia, Northern Bukovyna, and Transcarpathia using the press by communist-Soviet ideologues after the accession of these regions to Soviet Ukraine. The article is based on the archival documents of the editorial office and the filing of the newspaper "Soviet Bukovyna" in the after-war time.The author's aim is to find out the order of elucidation of life of the workers of Bukovyna established by Moskow’s ideologists, the leading ideological emphasis in propagandistic articles and other publications on the pages of the main newspaper in the region. The system of control over the activities of this newspaper by the regional committee of the party is outlined and the closed press reviews' main emphasis regarding the content is highlighted. Such reviews and decisions, which were made by them, are considered in the article as one of the manifestations of the punitive means for those heads of newspapers and their creative collectives who did not adhere to this system.Regulated by the party order of the coverage on the pages of the local party-soviet press of different spheres of life of the region from the point of view of the ruling communist narratives at that time is described. Their main essence was to form a public opinion on the unanimous local workers' support of the party and the Soviet state and the justification of Stalin’s thesis “living became better, living became more fun”. The introduction of this procedure was carried out by publishing the prepared by party-ideological workers and by teachers of the Department of Marxism-Leninism of local universities propaganda articles. The topics, authorship, and frequency of publication of such publications in the columns of the regional and district press were approved quarterly at meetings of the bureau of the party's regional committees.The analyzed practice of Kremlin ideologists of the 1940s and 1950s to impose their own, completely falsified, version of facts and events on the population is consistent with the realities of the latest Russian-Ukrainian war, especially in the Russian-occupied territories of eastern and southern Ukraine.
Ukrainian Itinerant Students — Bearers of the Humanistic Ideas of the 17—18 Centuries
Authors: Borysevych Liliia , Novosad Mariia , Sinitsyna Alla
Published: July 2022

The current importance of the research. The current importance of the research stems from the fact that there is a need to define the common features of the life and work of Ukrainian students who in different historical times managed to bring to the people the ideas of humanism and the Enlightenment. Among the oldest forerunners were Ukrainian itinerant students popularly called “itinerant deacons”, “myrachi”, “vahanty”(Ukrainian words for the goliards). Today, in the times of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukrainian students are playing the role of humanism bearers. Their activities highlight the importance of the present – victory over the enemy. Among the modern bearers of justice and the ideas of humanity, there are many volunteers, singers, musicians, poets, chaplains, scientists – creators of good and light. Although a lot of time has passed, what they have in common remains. Ukrainian itinerant students were bearers of the ideas of world culture, their own creative work, important political, public and social news. Isn’t the same mission being carried out today by Ukrainian students and educational institutions that are being aggressively destroyed by the Russian army?The aim and objectives of the research. The aim of the paper is to analyse the creative heritage of the itinerant students of the 17-18 c. as a manifestation of humanistic ideas, moral and ethical principles through burlesque and travesty poems. To achieve this aim, it is necessary to meet the following objectives: – to consider the socio-cultural circumstances of the life and work of itinerant students; – to identify the characteristic features of the composition and genre of carols and songs; – to outline the forms of understanding poetic works of itinerant students.Research methods: analytical – to study the original sources of itinerant students’ poetic creativity; theoretical – to generalise the characteristic features of the forms of itinerant students’ poetic creativity; descriptive – to characterise the educational activities of itinerant students as bearers of humanistic ideas.The results of the research. The paper analyses the satirical work of the itinerant students of the 17-18 c. in Ukraine. It is noted that burlesque and travesty poetry fits into the culture of the Enlightenment; it is aimed at affirming human dignity, ridiculing the shortcomings of contemporary society. Priests and the social elite of the time, called to set a moral example of ordinary people, were particularly criticised. The work of itinerant students confirms the basic thesis of the Enlightenment: art is designed to cultivate high moral qualities in people.

The results of the analysis of the ultrashort pulse (USP) decomposition into a sequence of pulses in a turn of a meander microstrip line with two passive conductors are presented. Various variants of the terminations of the passive conductors of the turn are considered and the optimal parameters of its cross-section are obtained according to the criterion of the minimum amplitude of the output signal. An analysis of the influence of changes in the geometrical parameters of the line under study on the delays of each decomposition pulses and the USP amplitude at the end of the turn was also made. Conditions for USP decomposition are formulated. The results of optimizing the geometrical parameters of the line, considering the technological capabilities of the company "Rezonit" according to the criteria of USP decomposition and minimizing its amplitude are presented. Also shown the results of folding the line into twenty-one minor turns. It was found that the reducing distance between minor turns enhances signal distortion and reduces its maximum amplitude at the line output. This folding made it possible to significantly reduce the size of the line. Attenuation of the real impact signal from the generator of the S9-11 oscilloscope in different software up to 10.6–16.1 times was obtained.

Rural development is gaining global attention, especially among developing nations. It has great importance for a country such as India. It refers to the development of rural economies, which are experiencing serious poverty issues, and aims to develop their productivity. In addition, the report stresses the importance of addressing different pressing issues of village economies that impede growth and improve these areas.  The Indian government has launched several schemes to develop rural areas. A few of the major problems in rural India are the lack of housing, the lack of infrastructure in villages and towns to connect villages with all-weather roads, and the lack of employment opportunities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the government of India has announced the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yoiana Gramin scheme to provide homes, Pradhanmantri Gram Sadak Yojana to build roads and To provide rural people with employment opportunities, the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005 was passed. In this study, we discover what the role of these schemes is in India's rural development, as well as how they are progressing at present.

Differential expression of MMP11 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2022

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 level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of women with breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding matrix metallopeptidase 11, MMP11, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 70 and higher, and in women aged 45 and younger. MMP11 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of MMP11 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal A subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. MMP11 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
The Effect of COVID-19 on Home Advantage in High- and Low-Stake Situations: Evidence from the European National Football Competitions
Authors: Bilalić Merim , Graf Mario , Vaci Nemanja
Published: July 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly altered the way sporting events are observed. With the absence or limited presence of spectators in stadiums, the traditional advantage enjoyed by home teams has diminished considerably. This underscores the notion that the support of home fans can often be considered a key factor of the home advantage (HA) phenomenon, wherein teams perform better in front of their own supporters. However, the impact of reduced attendance on games with higher stakes, as opposed to low-stakes friendly matches, remains uncertain. In this study, we investigate the recently concluded European football championship (EURO 20), wherein several teams had the advantage of playing at home in high-stakes games with only one-third of the stadium capacity filled. Firstly, we demonstrate that the Covid-19 restrictions, leading to reduced fan attendance, resulted in a nearly 50% decrease in HA compared to the HA exhibited by the same teams during the qualification stage preceding EURO 20, even after accounting for team strength. Secondly, we show that while low-stakes friendly matches generally exhibit a smaller overall HA compared to high-stakes games, the absence of fans led to a similar reduction in HA during the low-stakes matches. Utilizing the recently developed Home Advantage Mediated (HAM) model (Bilalić et al., 2021, Scientific Reports, 21558), we were able to attribute the reduction in both high- and low-stakes games to poorer team performance, with no significant contribution from referee bias.

We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding collagen type XI alpha 1 chain, COL11A1, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 70 and higher, and in women aged 45 and younger. COL11A1 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of COL11A1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in patients with luminal B subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. COL11A1 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding serine incorporator 2, SERINC2, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 70 and higher, and in women aged 45 and younger. SERINC2 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of SERINC2 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in patients with normal-like subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. SERINC2 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
Confirmation bias in hypothesis testing: A unitary phenomenon?
Authors: Berthet Vincent , Teovanovic Predrag , de Gardelle Vincent
Published: July 2022

It is well established that people tend to favor confirming strategies in hypothesis testing. However, little is known about individual differences in this topic. The present study has two aims: (a) adapting existing experimental tasks on hypothesis testing to measure individual differences, (b) investigating the convergent and discriminant properties of these measures within a multitrait–multimethod framework using a confirmatory factor analysis approach. Participants (N = 200) completed a total of nine behavioral tasks: three tasks (two rule hypothesis testing tasks and a trait hypothesis testing task) measuring three aspects of confirmation bias in information processing (information search, weighing of evidence, memory recall). Scores to most tasks reached satisfactory levels of internal consistency, showing that individual differences in confirmation bias can be reliably measured. The multitrait–multimethod analyses provided moderate evidence for the convergent validity and small to moderate evidence for the discriminant validity of the measures. These findings reveal that confirmation bias is a more unified phenomenon than what has been suggested.

Resolving minute temporal seismic velocity changes induced by earthquake damage: The more stations, the merrier ?
Authors: Illien Luc , Sens-Schönfelder Christoph , Ke Kuan-Yu
Published: July 2022

Ground shaking induced by earthquakes often introduces transient changes in seismic velocity monitored with ambient noise. These changes are usually attributed to relaxation behavior following the co-seismic damage in the subsurface and are of relevance for postseismic hazard mitigation. However, the velocity evolution associated with this phenomenon can occur at very small timescales and amplitudes that are challenging to resolve with seismic interferometry and that are challenging to link to laboratory experiments. A way to improve the temporal resolution of the velocity time-series is to test whether the estimation of the relative seismic velocity changes dv/v obeys the ergodic hypothesis in which the joint use of co-located stations would lead to better resolved measurements. In this study, we present results from a dense seismic array that was deployed for two weeks at the remarkable Patache site in Chile. Thanks to high temporal averaging capabilities, we are able to resolve seismic velocity changes in the 3-6 Hz frequency band at a 10-minutes resolution around the occurrence of a moderate earthquake (PGV ~ 1 cm/s). We report a velocity drop of ~0.5% in the first 10 minutes after ground shaking that precedes a recovery to ~50% of the initial pre-event value within the first two days. The shape of the recovery follows a log-linear shape over the whole observed recovery phase, analogous to slow dynamics experiments. When normalised by the total amount of processed data, we show that the ergodic hypothesis almost perfectly holds in our network: the dv/v signal to noise ratio (SNR) obtained when averaging a few observation with large stacking durations for the correlation functions is almost equal to the SNR when using a large number of observations with small stacking durations. Additionally, we use the array capabilities to identify the surf at the shoreline as the source of the noise and to derive a 1D shear velocity profile with the focal spot imaging technique and a transdimensional Bayesian inversion framework. The inversion shows that hard rocks lie close to the surface indicating that this material hosts the observed velocity changes. We discuss our high-resolution measurements and attribute them to a stable noise source excited by the shore, the ergodicity property and an ideal subsurface structure. Finally, we discuss the effect of moderate earthquakes on subsurface damage and the potential relaxation processes in hard rocks.
Threshold assessment for unconscious stimulus presentation using hierarchical drift diffusion models
Authors: Schräder Julia , Habel Ute , Jo Han-Gue , Walter Franziska , Wagels Lisa
Published: July 2022

Background: Humans often visually perceive emotional cues without cognitive awareness. Even though many studies have examined unconscious processing, they apply different timing conditions for stimulus presentation ranging from 8-30ms. However, the exact presentation span at which an emotional expression is perceived unconsciously is still to be found. This prospective study aims to tested which presentation time can lead to an unaware processing of the emotion-specific stimulus information. We further aimed to understand the decision pro-cess of classifying emotional material depending on the presentation time and potential influ-ence factors.Methods: A cohort of 40 healthy participants rated images of emotional faces (whether the faces showed a sad, neutral or happy expression) presented for 8.3ms, 16.7ms and 25ms. Sub-jective stimulus awareness as well as objective measures of stimulus awareness, such as per-formance accuracy within the task, were evaluated. In addition, response biases and perfor-mance precision (drift rates) were analyzed via hierarchical drift diffusion models.Results: Subjectively, the participants reported stimulus awareness in 65% of the 25ms trials, in 36% of 16.7ms trials, and in 2.5% of 8.3ms trials. Performance accuracy and response preci-sion increased with longer presentation time. Emotion-dependent response precision was re-flected in decreased performance (drift rates) in sad trials and a bias during happy trials, in all timing conditions except 8.3ms estimated with the hierarchical drift diffusion models. The detection rate (probability of making a correct response) during 8.3ms was at 14.6% and still below chance level for 16.7ms trials (42.2%). Conclusion: Taken together, the experiments suggest a presentation time of 16.7ms as optimal for subconscious priming. During 25ms trials, subjective rating of stimulus awareness and high-performance accuracy indicate a conscious stimulus perception. While 8.3ms could be too short to distinguish between emotions, an emotion classification was still possible during 16.7ms while the performance precision and probability of making correct responses tends to indicate an unconscious processing.
The effects of color on the enjoyment of real-life images
Authors: Lin Chenyang , Mottaghi Sabrina , shams ladan
Published: July 2022

This study investigated the effects of color presence and saturation on affective judgment of real-life images, as a function of the image affective valence. In the first two experiments, participants observed and rated original color photos and their grayscale versions in an interleaved order across two experimental sessions. Color photos were rated as more pleasant than grayscale photos when image valence was positive and more unpleasant when image valence was negative. The third experiment consisted of the same original images and their versions with saturation reduced by 50%. Original photos were rated as more pleasant than saturation-reduced photos when image valence was positive, yet less unpleasant when image valence was negative, implying potentially separable mechanisms for processing color presence and saturation. Significant interactions were found between color or saturation mode and valence on affective judgment in all three experiments.

Objective: We use the motivational systems theory of group involvement to explain aspects of the insurrection that occurred on January 6, 2021.Method: Drawing from existing literature, we explain why group involvement is likely to induce perceptions of “safety in numbers” and “strength in numbers.” We further describe why these states are theorized to intensify group members’ perceived sense of entitlement and their subsequent desires to attain power, status, and resources.Results: The motivational systems theory of group involvement framework explains how group membership and interaction can reduce inhibitions and avoidance motivation, while simultaneously intensifying motivational tendencies associated with an approach orientation.Conclusions: This theory paper explains why people in groups are more likely than individuals to be disinhibited during their pursuit of power and pleasure, leading members of insurrectionist groups to be especially impulsive, reckless, and violent.
Voluntary e-learning exercises support students in mastering statistics

University students often learn statistics in large classes, and in such learning environments, students face an exceptionally high risk of failure. One reason for this is students' frequent statistics anxiety. This study shows how students can be supported using e-learning exercises with automated knowledge of correct response feedback, supplementing a face-to-face lecture. To this end, we surveyed 67 undergraduate social science students at a German university and observed their weekly e-learning exercises. We aggregated students’ exercise behavior throughout the semester to explain their exam performance. To control for participation bias, we included essential predictors of educational success, such as prior achievement, motivation, personality traits, time preferences, and goals. We applied a double selection procedure based on the machine learning method Elastic Net to include an optimal but sparse set of control variables. The e-learning exercises indirectly promoted the self-regulated learning techniques of self- testing and spacing and provided corrective feedback. Working on the e-learning exercises increased students’ performance on the final exam, even after controlling for the rich set of control variables. Two-thirds of students used our designed e-learning exercises; however, only a fraction of students spaced out the exercises, although students who completed the exercises during the semester and were not cramming at the end benefited additionally. Finally, we discuss how the results of our study inform the literature on self-testing, spacing, feedback, and e-learning in higher education.

Utilizando-se de séries temporais este artigo realiza uma análise do Índice Bovespa o principal indicador de desempenho das ações negociadas na Bolsa de Valores brasileira IBovespa (B3) do ano de 2020, o conjunto de dados correspondeu aos meses de janeiro a setembro o que se totalizou 180 dados levando em consideração as variações do índice ao longo do tempo, essa pesquisa possibilita entender o comportamento dinâmico do ativo ou mesmo de um mercado de ações. A natureza da pesquisa enquadra-se como tecnológica uma vez que conhecimentos básicos são aplicados e novos conhecimentos são gerados como resultado do processo de pesquisa. Levando em consideração que a teoria do mercado é eficiente, concluiu-se que, não se mostra adequada a utilização de modelos Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) ou Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) para previsão dos dados.
Keynes, Ramsey and Pragmatism
Authors: Gerrard Bill
Published: July 2022

In his recent paper in this journal, Bateman (2021) breaks with the “Standard View” of Ramsey’s influence on Keynes and argues that Ramsey’s pragmatist philosophical thought underpinned both Keynes’s acceptance of Ramsey’s subjective theory of probability, and Keynes’s adoption of a narrative theory of the role of confidence in economic fluctuations in the General Theory. In this paper it is argued that Bateman is right both in emphasizing the influence of Ramsey’s pragmatist philosophy on Keynes’s thought during the development of the General Theory and afterwards, and in arguing that the influence of Ramsey’s pragmatist philosophy partly explains Keynes’s emphasis on the importance of the state of confidence in Chapter 12 of the General Theory. However, it is argued that Ramsey’s pragmatist philosophy had a much greater influence on Keynes than acknowledged by Bateman. Furthermore, contra Bateman, Keynes’s move to a more pragmatist philosophical position does not imply that Keynes’s accepted Ramsey’s subjective theory of (measurable) probability.
Cyborg Work: Borders as Simulation
Authors: Lalonde Patrick C.
Published: July 2022

Much recent research has focused on examining various binary contradictions and employing metaphors pertaining to border security. Ultimately, this article argues that existing debates and metaphors are inadequate in describing what is understood and agreed upon in the literature in terms of borders. This article proposes a refinement of existing theory for contemporary borders, employing Baudrillard (1981) concept of ‘simulation’. The metaphor of the ‘simulated border’ functions to avoid debates surrounding geospatiality while also incorporating aspects of risk society and control in concluding that borders are anything but organic security environments, with the ‘stretched screens’ (Lyon 2009) of border agents serving to produce dividuals that are tested within games of security to govern mobility anywhere in time or space.
Eternal maidens: Kawaii aesthetics and otome sensibility in Lolita fashion
Authors: Nguyen An
Published: July 2022

Originating in Japan, Lolita is a consumer lifestyle fashion unrelated to the Vladimir Nabokov novel. The concepts that inform Japanese words like kawaii (cuteness), shōjo (young girl) and otome (maidenhood) are complex and varied. These keywords are explored through interviews with Japanese women from their teens to mid-40s who wear or have worn Lolita fashion. Participants in this study were asked to define and discuss these concepts and their responses provide an example of how women outside the age range of young girlhood build an identity and a space removed from social and familial obligations through a fashion movement that cultivates a specific vision of cuteness. By surrounding and adorning themselves with the things they adore, Lolitas assert their individuality and personality through a kawaii revolution. Otome and shōjo are the backbone concepts that drive this personal sense of kawaii, while its incarnation as Lolita provides a site for a lived practice and performance in which happiness is built through feelings, affects and states of becoming.

Large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) is exportable high value sub-sector of Nepal producing to sell in targeted international markets. This research was done to examine value chain analysis of large cardamom from governance and trade aspects, focusing on value chain map, export scenario, and technology upgrading in eastern Himalayan road corridor (EHRC) of Nepal. Farm level information was collected from Taplejung, Jhapa and Morang districts using set of questionnaire (n=300). Focus Group Discussion, Key Informant Interview and Rapid Market Appraisal were done with enablers and traders. About 32% samples household were commercial farmers having one or more than one hectare cardamom cultivation land. About 27% households used improved dryer for curing and drying whereas majority used (72%) traditional dryer. The cost of production of one kg cardamom was estimated NRs. 656, and farmers received NRs. 344 profit margin from one kg of large cardamom sold at farm. Due to global price fluctuation, price of large cardamom has been declined drastically, although farmers are still in profit with B/C ratio of more than 1.4. The findings revealed that value chain development of large cardamom is not well structural at function, actors and enablers level whereas village/district level collectors, regional and national traders with their association and exporters were performing better marketing instead of governance of small scale producers. About 90% large cardamom was exported to India. Nepalese traders have a poor capacity and governance to export product in other counties than India due to high entry barrier to global market. There is a potential of forming global value chain development alliance, focusing to financing and upgrading strategy that would be pivotal for large cardamom intervention strategy in improving value chain function.
