The latest ‘southern protection system’ and the revived ‘fortress of Europe’ topos in Hungary
Authors: Kitanics Máté , Hegedüs Norbert
Published: October 2021

As a response to the processes of international migration in the Balkans, the Hungarian government in 2015 constructed a technical border defence system on the southern border of Hungary, also assigning manpower to guard the border. As a response to migration, this is not unique in Europe if we also consider previous and subsequent events. Although this topic has already been addressed by several authors from different perspectives, this paper is the first to analyse in detail the construction and characteristics of the technical border defence system, and the structure and operation of the assigned police and military forces. The paper also examines how government policy related to the protection of the southern border and the fence revived the ‘Hungary, the fortress/bastion of (Christian) Europe’ concept, and also how the Hungarian government communicated this in order to achieve its political objectives.
Control and Operation of a Hybrid Actuator for Maglev Applications
Authors: Rickwärtz Jan Philipp , Kolb Johann , Franck Marius , Hameyer Kay
Published: October 2021

The hybrid actuator presented in this article is meant to enable stationary and slow dynamic levitation in Maglev applications. The term ‘hybrid’ refers to the design of the actuator, which is a combination of permanent magnets (PM) and electromagnets. This paper presents an analytically computable control algorithm for the said hybrid actuator. The theory of magnetic circuits is summarized shortly and used to derive a cascaded control loop consisting of an inner current controller and an outer air gap controller. Since the uncontrolled hybrid actuator is inherently unstable, the system has to be stabilized. By introducing a PID-controller into the air gap control loop, the unstable behaviour of the uncontrolled system is changed into the system behaviour of a damped harmonic oscillator. The advantage of this approach is that the computed controller parameters of the PID-controller can easily be adjusted, so the system behaviour of damping and eigenfrequency can be selected within a certain range. For the execution of the control algorithm, a microcontroller (MCU) is used and for precise air gap measurement, an eddy current sensor is installed. Finally, the behaviour of the current- and air gap controller is discussed for different measurement results and the adjustable system behaviour of the damped harmonic oscillator is presented.
Prolegómenos a uma fenomenologia do sentido da vida humana nos ensaios tardios de jan patočka
Authors: Chvatík Ivan
Published: October 2021

Jan Patočka (1907-1977), Czech philosopher of world importance, wrote his habilitation script with Edmund Husserl in Freiburg, where he also became acquainted with the work of Martin Heidegger. In his own work, Patocka tried to resolve the philosophical conflict between their various concepts of phenomenology. The attempt to add a historical dimension to the notion of Lebenswelt and to the concept of phenomenon as such led him ultimately to formulate a phenomenological philosophy of history. In his last essay, which is the main subject of my lecture, Patočka sketches out a “history of the philosophy of the meaning of human life, beginning with Kant” and sets forth his own concept of the meaning of history, influenced by Heideggerian motifs. I present a concise interpretation of his idea and take a critical position towards it.
L’immanence en Question
Authors: Dufour-Kowalska Gabrielle
Published: October 2021

Among the main concepts of Michel Henry’s work, it was mostly the immanence concept that has brought more controversy and was Jess understood. It was determinant to Material Phenomenology, due to its radical innovation and it represents the key of its interpretation. To disclose this concept against its opponents means to become aware of the principle of transcendence - not discussed by Husserl and Heidegger - and to legitimate the objective knowledge, science and, at the same time, to oppose to the positivism. However, the main problem here is the inter-subjectivity. Instead of enclosure ego immanence, it enables relationships with others by creating the idea of «inter-immanence». The invisible itself is considered as a fundamental passivity of human subjectivity and of its essential pathos. Thus, the immanence concept is nothing else but self-affection.
Heidegger e o fim do mundo
Authors: de Sá Alexandre Franco
Published: October 2021

A comunicação situa-se na continuação do estudo apresentado ao II Congresso Internacional da AFFEN, intitulado A vida e o humano em Heidegger: a ontologia heideggeriana na aurora de uma biopolítica, e pretende considerar as consequência, na filosofia de Heidegger na transição entre os anos 20 e 30, do seu afastamento em relação ao conceito de vida. Ver-se-á como é este afastamento, determinado pela meditação em tomo do pensamento de Ernst Jünger e pela confrontação com o biologismo nacional-socialista, que conduz àquilo a que se poderia chamar uma transformação interior da abordagem heideggeriana da essência do humano, e da sua determinação como ser-no-mundo. Uma tal transformação acontece em três passos fundamentais: 1. urna “radicalização filosófica” - para usar os terinos de Jean Grondin - do conceito de finitude (1929); 2. um enraizamento da não-verdade na essência da verdade (1930); 3. a transformação do conceito de mundo em pólo da unidade constituída pela relação agónica entre terra e mundo (1935). Através desta transformação, Heidegger confronta-se com a meditação jüngeriana acerca da “mobilização total” do mundo, surgindo assim a sua história do ser como a representação de um processo no qual o ser abandona o ente, a terra é destruída e o mundo é despojado de terra. Numa tal história, marcada, numa perspectiva geral, por aquilo a que Heidegger chama a “fuga dos deuses”, dir-se-ia que tudo no ente fica exposto e que o mundo - sendo aquilo que, no aparecer do ente, não aparece e se encobre enquanto condição do próprio aparecimento - chega ao fim. Heidegger apresenta então o fim do mundo, através do seu pensar de uma história do ser, para o recusar e resistir contra ele. O salto da “história do ser” para um “outro início” da história, aquilo a que Heribert Boeder chama o “pensar apocalíptico” constitutivo da meditação modema heideggeriana, traduz assim um recuo de Heidegger diante do fim do mundo.
A Genealogia da Lógica e a Filosofia da Lebenswelt
Authors: Morujão Carlos
Published: October 2021

This paper is divided into three parts. The first part addresses the main tenets of Husserl ‘s conception of formal logic, its different levels and its relationship with formal mathematics and formal ontology. It will, therefore, undertake a delimitation of the logical domain, in its autonomy, taking as its point of departure the presentation Husserl makes of this subject in his works of maturity, particularly in Forma/e und. transzendentale Logik. The second ·part shows why, for phenomenology, the analysis of objective logical configurations has to be completed by a subjective analysis of the intentional achievements in which these configurations have their genesis. ln other words, we will try to ground such an autonomy in. the very nature of logical reason. Finally, the third and last part, following the text of the first two sections of Erfahrung und Urteil, adresses the roots of the logical-categorical activity in the ante-predicative passive experience.

Objective: To investigate possible differences between laboratory profiles of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. There are different of them available for COVID-19 diagnoses and surveillance, so this research was to evaluate the positive agreement the diagnostic methods.

Methods: For symptomatic patients swab samples from nasal and oral mucosal were collected between first and second week after symptoms onset, to perform RT-PCR, blood samples were collected 7 days after to perform antibody detection test. For asymptomatic patients, only antibody detection was performed to confirm the infection. We investigated specific humoral immune response for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients and also analyzed the positivity index and kappa agreement between immunochromatographic and ELISA assays.

Results: Most symptomatic patients presented negative RT-PCR with IgM and IgA detection. Symptomatic and asymptomatic patients have presented elevated IgM and IgA immunoglobulins, being this detection higher in symptomatic patients. The positivity index for immunochromatographic was higher than ELISA and there was no kappa agreement between IgM and IgA detection between these two methods.

Conclusion: Symptomatic patients presented higher amounts of IgM and IgA than asymptomatic, suggesting a relation between antibody quantity and severity of disease. We verified no agreement between IgM and IgA detection, and observed higher positivity index for IMMUNO when compared to ELISA. The different kinetics may cause a variation in their detection. Also, many different virus proteins can be used as antigens in these methods, being able of altering their sensibility and specificity.
Atellica CH 930 chemistry analyzer versus Cobas 6000 c501 and Architect ci4100 - a multi-analyte method comparison
Authors: Györfi Imola , Pál Krisztina , Mănescu Ion Bogdan , Oprea Oana R. , Dobreanu Minodora
Published: October 2021

Large clinical laboratories often rely on multiple chemistry analyzers. However, when a new analyzer is introduced, the laboratory must establish whether the old and new methods are comparable and can be used interchangeably. In this study, we compared the newly introduced Atellica CH930 chemistry analyzer with the already established Architect ci4100 and Cobas 6000 c501 from our laboratory.

Patient samples were randomly selected from daily routine testing and a total of 22 analytes were investigated. Total error (TEobs) between test (Atellica) and comparative (Architect and Cobas) methods was calculated at relevant medical decision levels (MDL). For demonstrative purposes, the assessment of method comparability was based on three different criteria: allowable total error (TEa) derived from biological variation (BV), CLIA proficiency testing criteria for acceptable analytical performance, and CLIA-calculated Sigma metrics. These sets of analytical performance specifications were also compared, and their strengths and limitations are discussed in this paper.

Performance of Atellica CH930 against Architect ci4100 was acceptable or nearly acceptable at 82%, 95%, and 64% of the 22 investigated MDLs across 9 analytes, according to BV-TEa, CLIA-TEa, and CLIA-calculated Sigma metrics, respectively. Similarly, performance of Atellica CH930 against Cobas 6000 c501 was acceptable or nearly acceptable at 61%, 93%, and 63% of the 54 investigated MDLs across 22 analytes, according to BV-TEa, CLIATEa, and CLIA-calculated Sigma metrics, respectively. However, method comparability should not be evaluated by a “one size fits all” approach as some analytes require different criteria of acceptability, ideally based on medically allowable error and clinical outcome.
Acquired Angioedema Due to C1 inhibitor Deficiency Caused by Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in a Patient with Myasthenia Gravis
Authors: Bara Noémi , Nadasan Valentin , Varga Lilian , Farkas Henriette
Published: October 2021

Acquired angioedema due to C1-inhibitor deficiency is a very rare disorder that usually appears in patients with lymphoproliferative and/or autoimmune diseases. This type of swelling is bradykinin mediated and does not respond to antihistamines, corticosteroids, or epinephrine. The symptoms usually appear in patients older than 40 years with recurrent episodes of angioedema without wheals. The family history is negative. The swelling could affect any tissue, but most frequently is located at the face, lips, tongue, larynx, or extremities. In the gastrointestinal tract, it causes pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The upper respiratory airway oedema is a potentially life-threatening condition due to asphyxiation. The oedema attacks may precede the symptoms of the causative disease for months or years. In most cases, the treatment of the underlying disease resolves the angioedema episodes. Here we report a case of C1-INH-AAE caused by non-Hodgkin lymphoma in a patient diagnosed many years before with myasthenia gravis whose angioedema symptoms resolved after the specific treatment of lymphoma.

Published: October 2021

Introduciton: COVID19 is one of the largest pandemics. Since December 2019 until now the coronavirus has infected over 131 million people. The mortality rate in the general population varies between 1 to 5%, with a potential of over 30% in patients with neoplasms.

Methods: The main objective of the study was to identify some peculiarities of the evolution, complications and treatment of patients with acute leukaemia and COVID-19. The study was retrospective and included 50 patients with acute leukaemia and COVID-19.

Results: Recent administration of chemotherapy was identified in 20 patients with acute myeloblastic leukaemia and 4 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. The newly diagnosed patients or those undergoing intensive chemotherapy, in particular elderly patients, had a severe form of COVID-19 and an unfavourable evolution, and these clinical situations were identified as predictive factors for adverse outcomes. Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia had a shorter survival curve compared to patients with acute myeloblastic leukaemia. Pneumonia was present especially in patients with acute myeloblastic leukaemia, most patients having over 30% of lung fields affected (55.26%). Patients with an unfavourable outcome had significantly increased median values of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and interleukin6.

Conclusions: Patients with acute leukaemia, especially acute myeloblastic leukaemia who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 infection require special attention because they may associate complications and adverse outcomes of COVID-19. The results we obtained require evaluation in a larger group of patients and analysis in the follow-up period after COVID-19.

Innovative methods of teaching foreign literature in higher education institutions
Authors: Никитина В.К.
Published: October 2021

Несмотря на несомненную важность в профессиональной подготовке студентов филологических специальностей, курс истории зарубежной литературы в Высшей школе до сих пор остается в значительной степени обделенным вниманием отечественных ученых, в противовес школьной практике преподавания этой дисциплины. Это приводит к тому, что инновационные школьные методы преподавания литературы автоматически переносятся в учреждения высшего образования (в лучшем случае) или же, в противном случае, преподавание литературы осуществляется традиционным путем с применением методов и приемов работы, введенных еще во времена Советского Союза. Оба подхода требуют пересмотра, учитывая реалии современной высшей школы. Сегодня студенто-центрическая парадигма в образовании меняется на науко-центрическую, в рамках которой высшие учебные заведения рассматриваются в первую очередь как научные центры. Это влечет существенные изменения в подходах к преподаванию: все больше внимания уделяется самостоятельной работе студентов, формированию у них навыков самостоятельного поиска и аналитической обработки материала. В ходе исследования преподаватель предстает как ученый-ментор, что владеет методикой научного поиска и может передать ее следующим поколениям. Уменьшение аудиторной нагрузки требует перестройки системы оценивания, путей получения обратной связи, переоценки эффективности применения тех или иных видов работы.

Despite the undoubted importance of the training of students of philological specialties, the course of history of foreign literature in High school is still largely neglected by domestic scientists, as opposed to the school practice of teaching. This leads to the fact that innovative school methods of teaching literature are automatically transferred to higher education institutions (in the best case) , or, otherwise, literature is taught in the traditional way using methods and techniques introduced during the Soviet Union. Both approaches require revision, taking into account the realities of modern higher education. Today, the student-centric paradigm in education is changing to a science-centric one, in which higher education institutions are considered primarily as research centers. This leads to significant changes in approaches to teaching: more and more attention is paid to independent work of students, the formation of their skills of independent search and analytical processing of material. With this approach, the teacher appears as a mentor scientist who knows the methodology of scientific research and can pass it on to the next generations. Reducing the audience load requires restructuring the assessment system, ways to get feedback, and re-evaluating the effectiveness of certain types of work.
Problems and prospects of professionally oriented teaching of the Russian language in the modern educational space
Authors: Вороничев О.Е. , Моспанова Н.Ю. , Буренкова Н.В.
Published: October 2021

Актуальность исследования определяется тем, что профессиональная деятельность преподавателя русского языка предполагает общение, презентацию учебного материала, решение коммуникативных задач, что требует владения умениями профессионально ориентированной коммуникации, потенциалом дидактического дискурса, способностью решать коммуникативные задачи в ситуациях профессионального общения. Вследствие этого для использования педагогической компетенции преподаватель привлекает метакультурные приемы изучения дисциплины. Новизна исследования определяется тем, что готовность к самостоятельной профессиональной деятельности предполагает свободное владение иноязычными дискурсами, способность управления ими, реализации межязыковой функции русского языка в профессиональном направлении, формирования у будущих преподавателей русского языка и практических навыков устной речи, чтения и письма, умения применять эти навыки для решения коммуникативных задач. Авторы показывают, что возможность использования данных компетенций в будущем позволит специалисту выбирать страну и среду реализации профессиональной деятельности без внимания на культурные особенности страны или компании с учетом корпоративных особенностей. Практическая значимость исследования определяется возможностью использования полученных знаний специалистом для работы не только в отрасли на отечественном рынке, но также и на иных рынках труда.

The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that the professional activity of a Russian language teacher involves communication, presentation of educational material, solving communicative tasks, which requires proficiency in professionally oriented communication skills, the potential of didactic discourse, and the ability to solve communicative tasks in situations of professional communication. As a result, for the use of pedagogical competence, the teacher uses metacultural methods of studying the discipline. Russian language is a new field of study. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that the readiness for independent professional activity implies fluency in foreign language discourses, the ability to manage them, the implementation of the interlanguage function of the Russian language in the professional direction, the formation of future teachers of the Russian language and practical skills of oral speech, reading and writing, the ability to apply these skills to solve communicative tasks. The authors show that the possibility of using these competencies in the future will allow the specialist to choose the country and the environment for the implementation of professional activities without paying attention to the cultural characteristics of the country or company, taking into account corporate characteristics. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of using the knowledge gained by a specialist to work not only in the industry in the domestic market, but also in other labor markets.
Cultural assimilators in solving the problems of multicultural family interaction
Authors: Еловикова Д.А. , Амяга Н.В.
Published: October 2021

Кризис образования в современном обществе распространяется и на семейное воспитание. На уровне семьи он выражается в нарастающих явлениях отчуждения подростков от культуры и ценностей своих родителей, разрушению межпоколенного взаимодействия, что приводит к дисгармонии взаимоотношений, «межпоколенному разрыву», нарушению ценностно-культурной трансмиссии и усугублению общего кризиса современного общества. Нарушения коммуникации между родителями и детьми рассматриваются в статье с позиции проблем кросс-культурного взаимодействия, что возможно при рассмотрении семьи как поликультурного феномена. Средством решения нарастающих межпоколенных проблем в семье предлагается рассматривать специальные техники повышения межкультурной сенситивности, такие, как культурные ассимиляторы, специально составленные для родителей, воспитывающих детей-подростков. В статье раскрываются задачи, которые можно решать посредством применения ассимиляторов в воспитательно-просветительской работе с родителями и их детьми. С помощью культурных ассимиляторов предлагается решать в первую очередь задачи когнитивной ориентации родителей на особенности подростково-молодежной субкультуры. Результаты пилотного исследования показывают частотность совпадения мнения родителей с изоморфными атрибуциями и актуальность использования культурных ассимиляторов для подготовки родителей к контактам с подростковой субкультурой.

The crisis of education in modern society extends to family education. At the family level, it is expressed in the growing phenomena of alienation of adolescents from the culture and values of their parents, the destruction of intergenerational interaction, which leads to disharmony of mutual relations, "intergenerational gap", violation of the value-cultural transmission and aggravation of the general crisis of modern society. Violations of communication between parents and children are considered in the article from the point of view of the problems of cross-cultural interaction, which is possible when considering the family as a multicultural phenomenon. As a means of solving the growing intergenerational problems in the family, it is proposed to consider special techniques for increasing intercultural sensitivity, such as cultural assimilators, specially designed for parents raising teenage children. The article reveals the tasks that can be solved through the use of assimilators in educational work with parents and their children. With the help of cultural assimilators, it is proposed to solve, first of all, the problems of cognitive orientation of parents on the features of the adolescent-youth subculture. The results of the pilot study show the frequency of coincidence of parents ' opinions with isomorphic attributions and the relevance of using cultural assimilators to prepare parents for contacts with the adolescent subculture.

CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE FROM THE INTENSIVE VEGETABLE FARMERS PERSPECTIVAL
Authors: Adusei Frank Yeboah
Published: October 2021

Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) has been identified as the best way forward to contribute to mitigating climate change for enhanced agriculture productivity. The study was conducted in Asokwa Municipal in the Ashanti region of Ghana as a case study with the following objectives; to identify existing CSA practices adopted by vegetable farmers; to evaluate existing institutions and their role in facilitating the adoption of CSA practices and to establish the likely factors that may promote or inhibit adoption of CSA practices. Purposive sampling was used to select twenty-seven participants due to restrictions on COVID-19 and limited resources. The significance of this method is that participants are selected by virtue of their capacity to provide rich-textured information relevant to the phenomenon under study. Results from the field showed that the commonly adopted CSA practices were improved crop varieties, irrigation and manure management scoring 100% each followed by crop rotation (66.7%). The least adopted practices, from the highest to the lowest were agroforestry (12.5%), mulching and rain harvesting (8.3%) each and compost application with 4.2%. The key factors inhibiting the adoption of CSA consist of insufficient information, water scarcities and financial constraints. The conclusion drawn was that the Agricultural sector must become climate-smart to successfully tackle current food security and climate change challenges. Beyond doubt, it will require management and governance practices based on ecosystem approaches that involves multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral coordination and cooperation.

Stevia rebaudiana is among recognized medicinal plants used as an artificial sweetener in food and drinks as it contains very low sugar content. It is recognized that stevia contains component steviol glycoside which contains stevioside and rebaudioside A has 50 to 100 more sweetness than sucrose. Due to this, stevia extraction of steviol glycoside is very demanded in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Research shows that stevioside levels are the highest at the time of flower bud formation and lower at the time preceding and following flower bud formation. Hence, this study aims to identify and characterize the putative gene that may involve in the flowering of local S. rebaudiana accession MS007 from the analysis of bioinformatics tools. The outcome of this study will help further in the study of the manipulation of the flowering process to increase the outcome yield of steviol glycoside. This study involves characterization of putative zinc finger ZAT10 gene by homology search by BLAST, protein domain search using InterPro, physicochemical analysis using ProtParam and TMHMM, multiple sequence alignment using MUSCLE, and phylogenetic tree construction using MEGA. The bioinformatics analysis using these programs and software manages to identify the protein domain of ZAT10 which shows the function of metal ion binding and involve in transcriptional regulation. The analysis of the phylogenetic tree also shows that ZAT10 protein may have a recent common ancestor in its own Asteraceae families such as Lactuca sativa and Heliantus annus.

The selections of suitable variety are very crucial for addressing future challenges and sustainably increase rice production in the flood-prone rice-growing environment. To find out the degree of tolerance of different submergence tolerant varieties under different submergence durations we conducted the present research from July to December, 2018. The experiment comprised of two factors namely, factor A, Submergence durations were S0-control (no submergence situation), S1, S2,and S3 allowing submergence up to 10 days after seedling establishment (DAE), submergence up to 15 DAE, and submergence up to 20 DAE, respectively and factor B- Submergence tolerant varieties were Binadhan-11, Binadhan-12, BRRI dhan52, and BRRI dhan79. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design where submergence durations were assigned to the main plots and varieties were assigned to the subplots with three replications. The highest grain yield (4.09 t ha-1) was obtained from no submergence situation with BRRI dhan52 followed by no submergence with variety Binadhan-11 (3.87 t ha-1), submergence up to 10 days after seedling establishment (3.61 t ha-1), and submergence up to 15 days after seedling establishment (3.35 t ha-1) with variety BRRI dhan52. Among four submergence tolerant varieties, BRRI dhan52 showed better performance.Thus, it may be concluded that submergence up to 10 or 15 days after seedling establishment with variety BRRI dhan52 might be cultivated in flood-affected areas where rice plants remain 10 to 15 days under floodwater.

Introduction: To ensure greenery in this busy city, the trend of growing vegetables on green roofs has gained momentum as a way of promoting agricultural sustainability in Dhaka City. However, due to the pandemic havoc caused by COVID-19 outbreak, people now a days have realized the extensive need for such green practice in urban areas to ensure their own food security. Objections: The objectives of this study were to explore the necessity of small-scale gardening or rooftop gardening (RTG), how it helped people by providing their food demands during this pandemic situation. By following the purposive random sampling technique, a total of 100 respondents (who were already practicing RTG) took part into the survey from two city corporation areas named Mirpur, Uttara (Dhaka North City Corporation) and Dhanmondi, Malibagh (Dhaka South City Corporation) areas of Dhaka city. Results and Discussion: Results of the study showed that more than 60% of the respondents got direct support from their roof top gardening during this COVID-19 situation. Almost 41% of the respondents claimed that this food supply was enough for them to sufficiently meet their need for vegetables for a single day. Most importantly, more than 90% of the respondents shared that, if provided with proper training and necessary supports, roof top gardening can be the best solution to ensure food security in post pandemic world. Conclusion: In the end, some recommendations have been suggested on how it can be used to ensure food security in countries with less agricultural lands like Bangladesh.
STATUS AND BARRIERS OF COMMUNITY FOREST ENTERPRISES IN MID-HILLS: A CASE STUDY FROM THREE CFEs OF KASKI, PARBAT AND TANAHUN DISTRICTS

This research study examines financial status, policy and institutional barriers and possible intervention for effective functioning of Community Forest Enterprise (CFEs). The study was carried out in three CFEs: NamunaBanpale Community Forest Enterprise, PargatisilAllo Enterprise and Mountain Tanahun Community Bel and Fruit Processing Industry of the Kaski, Parbat and Tanahun districts with the objective of exploring current cost and revenue of CF enterprise, barrier faced by CFEs and identify possible interventions for effective functioning. Key informant interview and focus group discussion were carried out to collect required information. The data recorded were analysed by using Microsoft-Excel. The study revealed that the forest-based enterprise establishment by the initiative of community forest user group barely get success unless an external donor agency support their programs specially during establishing years. The study found that the establishment of enterprises provides income opportunities, improve living of poor family however, the income generated is significantly low compare to its investment. Among the enterprises, Bel enterprise was found to be functioning well compared to other two. The study also assessed that enterprise operated by a group reduces responsibility of each individual towards the enterprise which is higher when operated by single individual. There are no any incentives for community forest enterprise in the policy level, no any mechanism to regulate market, providing access to the market for the enterprise in the remote area, discounts in taxes. People involved in the enterprise were found slowly losing their interest and expectation from the enterprise as inefficient management of the enterprises to bring all members together. To minimize the declining interest of people in the enterprise and to incorporate them together in the enterprises the study found out the seasonal enterprise should extend and need to operate in regular base this would increase people participation as they don’t need to focus on other activities to make their living. Furthermore, the entrepreneurs of CFEs should aware about the market demand, marketing information, efficient and effective techniques, managerial techniques, and record keeping.
