مقدمه: منظر شهری که مشتمل بر چشم اندازی با ویژگی های کالبدی، عملکردی و فرهنگی- معنایی است، بستر مناسبی برای بازنمایی هنر شهری و به نظر، واجد کارکردی مهم در بازآفرینی نگارگری ایرانی خواهد بود. این نوشتار بر آن است که با هدف بررسی این کارکرد جدید، بدین پرسش پاسخ دهد که چه رابطه ای بین سرمایه فرهنگی شهروندان و کارکرد بازآفرینی هنر سنتی نگارگری در منظر شهر از دیدگاه آنان وجود دارد؟روش پژوهش: روش پژوهش توصیفی- تحلیلی و گردآوری داده ها به دو روش پیمایش الکترونیک و با استفاده از پرسش نامه برخط بوده و جهت تجزیه و تحلیل داده ها از نرم افزار Spss 27 در سطح معناداری ۰۵/۰استفاده شد.یافته ها: بررسی رابطه همبستگی متغیرهای سرمایه فرهنگی شهروندان و کارکرد بازآفرینی نگارگری در منظر شهر، نشان می دهد بین رشته تحصیلی شهروندان و علاقه آنان به هنر، رابطه معناداری وجود دارد.نتیجه گیری: تحلیل یافته ها نشان می دهد همسو با نظریات بوردیو، شهروندانی که از علاقه و آگاهی بیشتری نسبت به هنر برخوردار بودند و در واقع توانش فرهنگی بالاتری داشتند، معتقد بودند منظر شهر بستر مناسبی برای احیا و بازآفرینی هنر نگارگری ایرانی است. به ویژه در ادراک منظر شهری چه در قالب ویژگی های کالبدی و عملکردی و چه در قالب ویژگی های فرهنگی- معنایی و از دید شهروندان معاصر، منظر شهر می تواند کارکرد جدیدی در پاسداشت هویت ملی و هنرهای سنتی جامعه داشته باشد. در واقع افزایش آگاهی مخاطبین معاصر با ارتقای ویژگی های کالبدی، عملکردی و فرهنگی- معنایی منظر شهری راهکار مهمی در حفظ و احیای هنر سنتی نگارگری است.

Background: Media content plays a significant role in shaping behaviors, attitudes, and lifestyle choices, especially among children, a demographic that is highly impressionable and actively engaged with various media platforms.Aims: This article explores the role of media literacy in equipping children to critically evaluate media content that promotes unhealthy lifestyles, including poor dietary choices, sedentary behavior, celebrity worship and unrealistic body ideals.Methodology: This study employs a qualitative approach, synthesizing data from case studies, government reports, and peer-reviewed academic literature to explore the role of media literacy in fostering healthy lifestyle choices among children.Findings: The findings indicate that current media literacy education programs for children are insufficient, largely because they often fail to include parental education. Parents play a pivotal role as mediators of children’s media consumption, and their active participation in media literacy education strengthens the impact of such interventions. The article argues for an integrated media literacy curriculum targeting both children and parents to create a more comprehensive understanding of healthy lifestyle practices and critical media engagement. Recommendations for policy, educational frameworks, and family-centered interventions are proposed to address these gaps.Conclusions: We emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to media literacy that includes all involved people and bodies in promoting healthier lifestyle choices among children.

The performance of SMEs will keep the wheel of the country’s economy turning. Upgrading the technologies currently used in SMEs will make the manufacturing process of food and beverage (F&B) industries more efficient. These firms are still using traditional equipment and machinery in their F&B manufacturing process; however, it is required to adopt the next level of technologies for maximum productivity, which they cannot afford. Thus, the study focuses on the intention to adopt upgraded technologies in F&B SMEs in developing countries. A total of 230 F&B SME owners and top management were surveyed in Bangladesh. The collected data were analyzed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS software. The results showed that disaster preparedness and business continuity had significant effects on the intention to adopt; similarly, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence were also significant in the intention to adopt the next level of IR technologies. The moderating role of government support and policy had mixed effects on intention. The study is significant because disaster preparedness and business continuity plans are utilized in technology adoption and intention scenarios. To investigate this intention, the study adopted two perspectives: the influence and role of disasters and hazards on SMEs through disaster preparedness and business continuity plans, and secondly, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) for measuring the intention. The study contributed to these two theories in a new context with constructs. The study will also contribute to policymakers in developing constructive policies and providing effective financial and non-financial support for F&B manufacturing SMEs.

The implementation of an effective tax system requires specific conditions, among the most critical being equity and efficiency. Taxation on income must align with the principle of the ability to pay; therefore, governments strive to set tax rates appropriately and impactfully. An disproportionate increase in income tax rates can lead to significant social repercussions on income distribution and public welfare. Consequently, calculating the optimal tax rate to maximize social welfare is deemed essential. This paper models the strategic interaction between taxpayers and the tax authority to achieve an optimal tax rate and identifies the factors influencing this rate. By designing a game among taxpayers, assumed to be uniformly distributed within the interval [0, 1], and evaluating the revenue generation of the tax authority, the paper delves into the game formulation and analyses the results. Findings indicate that the optimal tax rate exhibits an inverse relationship with the assessment rates set by investigating groups. Additionally, under specific conditions, the optimal performance tax rate has been determined to be 18%.

The migration of Indians to various destinations during the past few decades has led to the emergence of a group of writers known as Asian-American authors in literature. These writers, including immigrant women from India spanning the first and second generations, have crafted a substantial collection of short fiction. Jhumpa Lahiri, a Bengali-Indian writer, explores themes of identity, belonging, displacement, and the challenges of straddling different cultural attitudes in Interpreter of Maladies . This article adopts a theoretical approach and utilizes the library research method, drawing on the insights of scholars such as Stuart Hall and Michael Ryan, to explore cultural displacement, identity, and the experiences of immigrants in a new multicultural environment. The central focus is to know how Lahiri addresses displacement and immigration through trans-cultural discourses while challenging cultural diversities in Interpreter of Maladies . By employing such a trans-cultural discourse, this study aims to analyze how Lahiri portrays the complexities of cultural differences, and identity formation in the context of immigration. The narratives in Interpreter of Maladies offer a rich tapestry of characters navigating the challenges of living between cultures, shedding light on the profound impact of displacement on individuals and families. By closely examining Lahiri’s storytelling techniques and character development, this article aims to illuminate how the author captures the nuances of trans-cultural experiences and the facts that ultimately put their impact on the formation of immigrants’ new identities in unfamiliar territories.
