Abstract

The analysis examines the relationship between economic indicators and final household consumption expenditures (FHCE) in Pakistan from 1991-2023. Four variables were used: total population, corruption perception index, political stability, and absence of violence. The results show a positive association between the general population and FHCE in both the short and long terms. However, the corruption perception index reduces FHCE by 0.4430 units, with a negative short-term effect. Political stability has a moderate long-term effect. PSVA has a negative influence on FHCE. The model explains 85.60% variation in FHCE, suggesting population growth management, corruption control, and political stability policies.

Abstract

The Tektekan Okokan tradition of Kediri, Tabanan, is a surviving Balinese ritual using sonic instruments—Okokan, Kulkul, and Tengteng—to repel disease outbreaks (grubug) and neutralize negative forces in the village. Historically performed for days or even months following spiritual messages (pawisik) and signs of occult disturbance, today it is mainly held on Pengerupukan, the eve of Nyepi, as a replacement for ogoh-ogoh processions while circling the village. This practice inspires the creation of a contemporary fashion collection. Data on the tradition were obtained through literature study, observation, and documentation. The design process follows the eight‑stage Frangipani method (design brief; research and sourcing; design development; final collection; prototype, sampling, and construction; promotion, branding, and sales; production; and business). The resulting works comprise three categories—ready to wear, ready to wear deluxe, and haute couture—visualizing Tektekan Okokan through selected keywords and plague‑like, enveloping motif details that symbolically depict the village under attack and ritually protected.
