Abstract: This paper delves into a comprehensive exploration of the macro-level socio-economic landscape characterizing the Nat community, a de-notified tribe categorized as a scheduled caste in the state of Rajasthan, India. The primary aim is to furnish a nuanced understanding of the life and livelihood dynamics and the contemporary circumstances of the Nat community both at a national level and, more specifically, within the confines of Rajasthan. Historically, the Nat community is a nomadic group of entertainers who performed for Rajput kings and their subjects through dance and acrobatic skills. Drawing upon an amalgamation of existing scholarly works, the most recent datasets, and pertinent information from sources such as the 2011 census and reports issued by the National Commission on Nomadic, Semi-nomadic, and De-Notified Tribes, the paper unfolds across various thematic sections. These segments include an examination of the historical trajectory of the Nat community, an assessment of their social standing across different states, an exploration of the diversities, divisions, and deprivations experienced by the Nat community in Rajasthan, and a macro-level reflection on their demographic, educational, and economic profiles. Through this multi-faceted approach, the paper aspires to contribute valuable insights into the intricate socio-economic fabric that encapsulates the Nat community in the Indian context.

Abstract: Regardless of the time and space differences between eastern and western countries before and after their origin, the improvement of military systems and solutions to problems all reflect the practical will of national defense strategic responsibility and tactics. From the anthropological point of view, no matter the development of the xianqin civilization and the victory or defeat of the war history, the establishment, development and changes of the system and discipline are discussed as the boundary and module of historical dialectics. This is a myth of the victory of the country's social and political diplomacy, a basic sanction of the security strategy, and a specific matter for the interpretation of the structural and institutional principles. Then, as a cultural prototype, can the other appearance and symbolic significance of this military system, as the AI social language view in the 21st century, become another status and security awareness of dominating the world? The positive answer to this is that as an individual country, its multiple roles are sufficient to enhance political strategies, diplomatic security, social tranquility and individual spirit of challenge. This issue actually plays a role as the boundary and module of the historical dialectics of military system through the changing process of the history of the times before discussing the concept and essence of a liberal democratic society.

Dopamine and Endorphins: A Study of Speed in Fashion as a Mechanism of Desire

Abstract: This study delves into the contrasting mechanisms of fast fashion and slow fashion, examining how they operate as expressions of human desire driven by distinct neurological and philosophical underpinnings. Fast fashion, fueled by rapid production cycles and the influence of technology and capital, leverages dopamine-driven mechanisms to provide instant gratification. This model aligns with the short-term reward system, reinforcing consumer behaviors that lead to continuous purchases and cyclical consumption. However, this pursuit often results in environmental degradation, resource overuse, and psychological exhaustion among consumers. In contrast, slow fashion embodies a counter-narrative that emphasizes quality, sustainability, and long-term satisfaction, aligning with the endorphin-driven mechanisms. These endorphins, associated with deeper emotional fulfillment and resilience through challenges, promote a reflective, meaningful consumer experience. The philosophical analysis incorporates Schopenhauer’s concept of insatiable will, paralleling the endless desire perpetuated by fast fashion, and Nietzsche’s idea of the will to power, suggesting slow fashion as a creative and life-affirming response that embraces challenge and meaning. Ultimately, the article argues that while both fast and slow fashion engage human desire mechanisms, their impacts differ vastly in terms of sustainability, psychological well-being, and existential fulfillment. The study calls for a broader exploration of how technology, culture, and ethical considerations can reshape fashion consumption toward more sustainable and emotionally satisfying practices.

Abstract: This study, titled "From Home to the Streets: Identifying Factors Influencing Children's Vulnerability in Dire Dawa City Administration," aims to understand the complex issues surrounding street children in Dire Dawa. It identifies the primary factors leading to children's street involvement, examines the everyday challenges these children face, and evaluates the survival strategies they adopt. The objective is to bridge existing knowledge gaps by shedding light on the lived experiences of these vulnerable children, thus contributing to the formulation of support mechanisms that could alleviate their hardships and potentially help them break free from poverty and marginalization. A mixed-methods approach was employed to achieve a comprehensive analysis of the factors contributing to children's vulnerability. Data collection involved both qualitative and quantitative methods: personal interviews, focus group discussions, and observations provided qualitative insights, while structured surveys gathered quantitative data on demographics and socio-economic conditions. This dual approach enabled the study to capture both the individual experiences and broader societal trends influencing street children. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically to identify patterns, while descriptive and inferential statistics provided an empirical understanding of quantitative data, examining correlations between variables such as family income and street life. The findings highlight a range of factors contributing to streetism, including economic hardship, family instability, limited access to education, and lack of social support systems. These insights emphasize the urgent need for holistic, sustainable solutions to address the root causes of streetism. Recommendations proposed include expanding access to flexible education programs, strengthening family support systems, and introducing economic empowerment initiatives for the families of street children. Additionally, food security programs, safe shelters, social protection, and inclusive urban planning are essential to address the children’s immediate needs and long-term security. In conclusion, addressing streetism in Dire Dawa requires a multifaceted intervention strategy. Poverty alleviation, family support, and inclusive urban planning are vital to ensure that these children have opportunities for a stable future. The study’s recommendations offer actionable steps to improve the welfare of street children and foster their reintegration into society, thereby contributing to a more equitable and supportive community in Dire Dawa.
