Brand equity loss is the most neglected area of research in brand management science at Asian level that has inhibited the developing nations to utilise the intangible value of brand equity of their firms. Brand equity is in nascent stage with no clear theoretical boundaries and notable research at Asian level whereas it‘s touching maturity at western world that not only nullifies the logic of using western theories in Asian perspective but also questions the credibility of past research in present scenario for Asian countries. In terms of research dominance, all the scholars of brand management have been working on the description, measurement and sustainable growth of brand equity from various business management research paradigms. In practice and theoretical explanation, intellectual property governance cannot explain the problem of brand equity loss; in contrast, brand governance is more holistic and provides the flexibility for the convergence of marketer and consumer perspective for identifying the most impactful reasons for brand equity loss. Qualitative descriptive research method was used by the researcher for the study of brand equity loss. Stratified purposeful sampling technique was deployed for collecting research problem concentric information from key informants for knowledge thickness after the analysis. Stratified samples were owners/brand managers/VPs/marketers from Businesses purposive sample for studying marketer perspective. Organisations and legal fraternity purposive samples had top managers and advocates as stratified samples for studying the consumer perspective. Primary data was collected from the stratified samples. The reports and documents of industries and organisations, related to brands, were used for support in extracting the targeted information from the interview transcripts for increasing data analysis richness. Thematic content analysis, by using Nvivo (version 10), was implemented through encoding the interview transcripts into nodes and reflecting the relation between the grouped data of the nodes through the Word Tag clouds, Frequency Tree Maps, Cluster Maps and Matrix Coding Maps. Brand governance model, as the result of the analysis, was crafted that provided the basis for deviation from previous main stream research on brand equity by having the meaning of brand equity loss from the dissection and integration of all the layers of the model, from top to bottom that cover both perspectives of brand science. The first layer is intellectual property governance and the consecutive ones are intellectual property enforcement, and brand equity loss. Therefore, brand equity loss cannot be explained by considering one approach or perspective holistically in Asian context. This invites cross sectional research in terms of approaches and perspectives. The study faced limitation in terms of lack of market documented evidence, theoretical work at Asian context, having a handful of people at national level who are information rich respondents under stratified sample and faced territorial restrictions. Conclusively, Cognitive Construct, personal concept of the brand in the minds of the consumer, is surrounded by loyalty, social sense, counterfeit, price, experience, and promises. All these are indicators of ''experience‘ that create suitable environment for infringement and counterfeiting that follows brand equity loss or vice versa. Furthermore, at the field, the best points of ''experience‘ are distributors, local sellers and people appointed from the same community as promoters.

الامثال النبوية و بلاغتها

The use of similes, metaphors, proverbs and idioms is given its due prestige in the annals of literature. To mention their use in the Islamic literature especially in the sayings of our Holy Prophet (PBUH) renders an ease and comfort in order to elaborate upon the Islamic teachings. It not only enhances interest but renders an inexplicable charm to explicate Islamic teachings so as to make them easy to comprehend. The use of figurative language enhances the rhythmic flow and charm of language and thus brings in a huge impact on literature. It is in this way that the proselytization task be done in an easy effective manner.

Screening of Tomato Cultivars Against Root Knot Nematodes and Their Biological Management

Research was done on two important groups of nematodes plant parasitic nematodes and insect parasitic nematodes (entomopathogenic nematodes). Among plant parasitic nematodes root knot nematodes are the most important. It has a wide host range. Tomatoes are the most seriously affected by Meloidogyne incognita. Different varieties were tested against M. incognita for susceptibility, invasion and development of M. incognita. Moneymaker, Titano, California, Peelo, Nagina, Riogranade and Pakit were highly susceptible while Fonto, Tarnab, Lima, VF-400, PETO-86 and Samrutti were susceptible. Calmart VFN proved resistant. There was a positive relationship between the inoculum level of M. incognita and root weights and inverse relationship with shoot weights. Effect of plant age on plant susceptibility to nematode infection was also studied. Plant extract of neem, onion, garlic, tobacco, aloevera, cloves and chili was investigated for larval mortality and egg hatching of M. incognita. Mortality of nematodes increased with exposure time and extract concentration. Effect of plant extracts on root knot nematodes applied after root knot nematodes and bare dip root treatment was also studied on plant growth parameters plant height, fresh shoot weight, dry shoot weight and fresh root weight. Among all the plant extracts tested neem proved effective followed by onion and tobacco while chili proved less effective as compared to the other plant extracts.In the second part of thesis, effect of entomopathogenic nematodes S. asiaticum, S. glaseri, H. indica and H. bacteriophora on the development of M. incognita, effect of different inoculum levels, and time of application, live and dead EPN on RKN in addition to the persistence in soil was also studied. Suppression of M. incognita varied with application rate. The high application rates of EPN reduced M. incognita infestation as compared to low rates. Reduction in root knot nematode invasion and development was recorded. Numbers of EPN were reduced in non-sterilized soil. Both dead as well as live entomopathogenic nematodes and their material were responsible for lower invasion by M. incognita in tomato.
