Contemporary Magazine-Ness Through the Lens of Translation Paradigm
Authors: CVaratti Elena , Baule Giovanni , De Kerckhove Derrick 
Published: March 2022

Within the context of the publishing and media system,
magazines can be considered as cultural artifacts in constant transformation, not only for technological changes but also
for their strict relationship with the sociocultural context.
They reflect and contribute to the construction of reality
by disseminating various types of content through different analog or digital media.
In this article, we assume that magazines can
be semiotically interpreted as texts and their design (both
in terms of content and expression), derives from a series
of translation practices. The translation paradigm, in all its interpretations, specificities, brings to our attention the centrality of the contents and the ways in which they are framed, modelled, and transferred.
These theoretical premises led us to question what magazine-ness consists of today, what are the most relevant lines of research and design for the present and the future.
We have identified four different directions open to further investigation: alternative-slow journalism, transmedia journalism, data journalism, and automated journalism.
These categories do not purport to be exhaustive;
they constitute a first interpretative model that deserves further development and study both at a theoretical and design level.

Authors: Mainali Basu Prasad 
Published: March 2022

Foreign Direct Investment is one of the major source of external finance for the economic growth and development of a country, specially the Least Developed Countries (LDC’s) like Nepal. Inflow of FDI is very low in Nepal in comparison to its neighboring countries. In this paper comparative analysis of FDI inflow in Nepal and in SAARC countries and administrative hurdles in importing FDI in Nepal has been analyzed to come to the conclusion.
This study is based on the secondary data of FDI inflow in recent five years, acts, rules, regulations, and bylaws regarding FDI and their recent improvements. In the past, investment climate in Nepal was not favorable to the foreign investors and FDI inflow was very low. Amendment and change in laws and regulation to simplify administrative procedures has created good investment climate in Nepal and being favorable to foreign investors. We can expect that FDI will increase remarkably in the days to come.

Authors: Gautam Pragya 
Published: March 2022

This article looks at the Mountain Literature of Nepal, based on the writings of two Nepalese mountaineers of Mount Everest, Jamling Tenzing Norgay, and Lhakpa Phuti Sherpa. It presents their feelings, observations, and the challenges they faced while climbing up the peak.
The Humans’ appetite for travelling, their spirit of adventure and exploration, and their desire to know and conquer the unknown have inspired many to climb the mountains. Though Mountaineering is a daring adventure, many climbers are attracted to it. The mountaineers try to test their courage and stamina. For that, they risk their lives in snow, bone-chilling avalanche, and sharp windy weather to reach the summit. They know that getting the pinnacle is not always easy, but it is worthwhile.
The magic of Mount Everest attracts the attention of the mountaineers. Its beauty, mystery, and majesty make Nepal, a center of attraction. For all, the mountains are the abode of Gods and Goddesses. They are the sources of peace, happiness, power, faith, and enlightenment.
The Mountaineering narratives have contributed much to the development of Nepalese mountain literature. It is a rich source of information, that is beneficial not only for the Mt. Everest climbers but also for the lover of mountains.
The Effect of Long Term use of Glibenclamide on Serum and Urinary Sodium and Potassium Level in Type 2 DM Patients
Authors: A. Ali Ali 
Published: March 2022

Long-term use of sulfonylureas including chlorpropamide, is known to potentiate the antidiuretic action of arginine vasopressin (AVP), predisposing to hyponatremia.The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of long term use of glibenclamide on serum and urinary levels of sodium and potassium in Type 2 DM patients in Iraqi DM centers. Ninety eight patients with Type 2 DM who were maintained on different doses of glibenclamide for at least 1 year, attending the centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology in Al-Rusafa, Baghdad, were enrolled in the study, in addition to 15 normal healthy subjects. Patients were allocated into three groups according to the dose of glibenclamide that they received. Blood and urine samples were obtained for evaluation of sodium and potassium levels in these samples by flamephotometry. The results indicated that glibenclamide use resulted in significant elevation in serum levels of sodium and potassium compared to controls, while urinary excretion of these cations was not significantly changed. Stratification of patients according to the dose of glibenclamide revealed that this effect on sodium and potassium was not dose dependent. In conclusion, long term use of glibenclamide impairs normal values of Sodium and potassium independent of the administered dose.
Key words: Glibenclamide, sodium, potassium.

Conditional Relation between Beta and Returns: Evidence from a Frontier Market
Authors: Fernando P.M.S. , Samarakoon S.M.R.K. 
Published: March 2022

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is one of the most significant finance literature models, which assumes a positive linear relationship between the required rate of return and systematic risk on stocks. The model is frequently used in the business world, but empirical tests repeatedly reject the model's validity in its unconditional form. Pettengill et al. have developed an alternative conditional CAPM approach where the unconditional test procedure developed by Fama & MacBeth, (1973) is improved by taking up and down market conditions. This paper investigates both the conditional and unconditional versions of CAPM in both individual and portfolio stock returns between January 2008 and December 2019 on the stocks listed in the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE). Population of this research includes all the companies listed on CSE and the top 50 stocks with large market capitalization has been selected as the sample. The results of unconditional test procedure show that there is no statistically significant risk-return relationship is found in any test period in both individual and portfolio stock returns. Thus, this result is similar with the previous literature findings. The results of the conditional tests show that there is no significant positive (negative) risk-return relationship in portfolio stock returns and individual stock returns in CSE during up (down) market months. But findings indicate a significant positive risk-return relationship in individual stock returns in upmarket periods; whereas, a significant inverse risk-return relationship is not provided in down market periods.

Published: March 2022

Right issues and debenture issues are the types of methods for raising capital to finance organizations. These events are fully affected to stock prices. This paper studies the effect on the share price of listed firms on the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) to the right issue announcements and debenture issue announcements. The study consists of 85 right issue announcements and 106 debenture issue announcements over the 2012-2019 periods (8 years). The study analyses the share price performance of companies in the period immediately prior and post their right issue announcements and debenture issue announcements by using daily data for 281 days. All share price index for 281 days were used to estimate the market return. The analytical tool is the event study methodology in which the market model is used to calculate the abnormal returns of the study by using the secondary data. The observational findings indicate that the average abnormal return and cumulative average abnormal return of right issue announcements are statistically significant at a confidence level of 95 at the announcement day "0". Cumulative average abnormal returns were reported positively until the day of -1 and then shifted negatively. The results are statically significant around the day of announcements. That means the right issue announcements are affecting the stock prices. For the debenture issue announcements, there are both negative and positive average abnormal returns in the event period. The debenture issue announcements have positive average abnormal returns at the announcement day "0," and the value is statistically not significant. All of the cumulative average abnormal returns in the event period are more than their critical value and statistically significant. That means the debenture issue announcements are affecting the stock prices in the Colombo stock exchange. And the cumulative average abnormal returns represent the negative slope in the pre-event period. Further, it is continuing in the post-event period.

Mediating role of Marketing Information Systems Effectiveness on the relationship between Marketing Information Systems (MkIS) and the Business Performance in Sri Lankan Manufacturing Companies
Authors: Doluweera L. K. 
Published: March 2022

In the midst of global competition and a turbulent business environment, the survival of businesses is possible if and only if the business organizations harness their business opportunities by optimizing and matching their core competencies with such opportunities. In this hypercompetitive world, in the race for sustainable competitive advantage, knowledge enriched, strategically oriented Marketing Information Systems (MkIS) embedded with marketing intelligence, enable marketing decision makers to gain an unmatched competitive advantage.
However, MkIS effectiveness is a rarely examined complex construct, and the research effort in this direction has been sporadic and whether MkIS effectiveness leads to improved business performance has rarely been effectively investigated globally.
Hence, the objective of the present research is to investigate the degree of adoption of MkIS, to discover the effectiveness of MkIS, to find the managerial and organizational factors that affect the adoption of MkIS and to investigate whether there is a positive correlation between such adoption of MkIS and Business Performance mediated by MkIS effectiveness in Sri Lankan manufacturing companies.
In this regard, the empirical research conducted by the present researcher in 40 Sri Lankan manufacturing companies, triangulated with the in-depth interviews with marketing Executives revealed, that MkIS adoption (ADP) is in its infancy in Sri Lankan manufacturing Companies (t value =-13.626, significance 2 tailed = 0.000).
The research surprisingly revealed that Sri Lankan Manufacturing companies, embraced Learning Organizations (LO) together with marketing managers’ MkIS related ICT knowledge (EDU) have the strongest, 50 %, influence on Adoption of MkIS (ADP) (ADP = .425 * LO + .567 * EDU – 1.937, 50%, of variance, R2=0.504), especially through embedded systems and continuous learning, innovatively through “meta noia” – a fundamental shift of the mind, and through the fifth discipline – the conceptual frame work of LO – (systems thinking), creating improved innovative products and fulfilling the customers’ ultimate expectations.
The findings strengthen the body of knowledge about the positive relation between the adoption of MkIS and business performance, mediated by the MkIS effectiveness, by weakening the traditional belief of the “IT paradox” of Sri Lankan Manufacturers.
