The Strategy of China toward South Asia
September 11, 2001, brought phenomenal changes in international relations by dramatically changing the regional as well as global dynamics of politics and economics. Pakistan, being a close ally of the US in the war against terrorism, had suffered great loss in terms of financial setback to its economy as well as loss of human lives. The devastating impacts of fighting the war against terrorism had posed serious security threats for Pakistan but …

Investigating the link between green preferences and organic food purchase
The global increase in organic food consumption underscores the need for in-depth research to understand the determinants of consumer purchase intentions towards organic products. Hence, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing the consumer purchase intentions towards organic food through an analysis involving 274 participants. Additionally, it also explores the mediating and moderating effects of attitudes and environmental concern…
Farm Size and Productivity
We draw a theoretical model to demonstrate that small farms achieve lower total factor productivity (TFP) compared with large farms, even though the yield of small farms may be higher. We argue that taking into account family labor modifies the farm size-productivity relationship. We test our hypotheses using geocoded data from 5,645 agriculture farms in Pakistan combined with remote-sensing data to account for farm-specific topographic features.…
Islamic Religious Identity in Contemporary Kyrgyzstan
This paper assesses the state of Islam in Post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan. It examines the challenges Islam faces due to the diversity of ideologies bequeathed by the Soviet Union. Although Islam emerged as a dominant religious belief in post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan, due to the internal elements of secularism, Tengrism, and other indigenous ideologies, and the interpretation of Islamic lore coupled with the Soviet ideology of atheism, Islam remains syncretic wi…
Exploring Socialist Realism in the Selected Poetry of Sanubar Hussain Mohmand Kakaji and Qalandar Mohmand
The evolution of Marxist-Leninist trends in the poetry of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is historically linked with post-October 1917 socialist realism, which was founded by Maxim Gorky (1890-1960). Sanubar Hussain Mohmand Kakaji (1898-1963) and Qalandar Mohamad (1930-2003) have translated progressive themes from Arabic, Persian, and Russian works of literature. This research explores the lives and works of these two progressive poets of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa …
Do agricultural commodity prices asymmetrically affect the performance of value-added agriculture? Evidence from Pakistan using a NARDL model
In the last few decades, rising prices of agricultural commodities have been an area of concern for most countries owing to high population growth, increased unemployment, and per capita food needs. The current study intends to examine the positive and negative shocks of agricultural product prices, credit disbursement, and the labor force’s impact on the agricultural growth of Pakistan. The nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) method…
The Prominent Leftist Leaders of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
The history of leftist politics in NWFP (present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) draws significantly less attention in scholarly and academic journals on national and international politics than other topics do. This was because of Pakistan's alliance with the US-led capitalist camp right after independence in 1947, which made it difficult for its leftist leaders to carry out their program. Throughout the Cold War era (1945-93) the leftist political part…

Teachers Humanistic Role Regarding Students Guidance
This study was conducted to explore and compare perceptions of Subject Specialist Teachers about their role as a humanistic student guide. Subject specialists were taken from 28 male and 13 female higher secondary schools situated in Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. Structured questionnaire was used for data collection. As per the data analysis, it was concluded that most of the teachers did not possess proper awareness f …
Analysis of Online Workshop as a Medium of Instruction and Communication

Precariousness, Gender, Resistance and Consent in the Face of Global Production Network's 'Reforms' of Pakistan's Garment Manufacturing Industry
This case study of the restructuring of Pakistan's garment manufacturing industry explores how attempts to increase capital's control over the labour process intersect with local patriarchal structures and trigger workers' reflexivity and agency causing unanticipated consequences. Using Archer's notion of agency, the article examines the theoretical space where capitalism meets patriarchy, and both are reproduced. The focus on reflexivity, anchor…
The role of intermediaries in governance of global production networks
This article locates the reorganization of work relations in the apparel sector in Pakistan, after the end of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA) quota regime, within the context of a global production network (GPN). We examine the role of a network of corporate, state, multilateral and civil society actors who serve as intermediaries in GPN governance. These intermediaries transmit and translate competitive pressures and invoke varied, sometimes c…
Nutritional evaluation of selected meat based Saudi Arabian dishes
Fourteen popular Saudi Arabian dishes containing a significant amount of animal protein (meat, fish, egg) were investigated. On a fresh weight basis, the dishes contained 46.6–82.6% moisture, 3.6–9.4% protein (N × 6.25), 0.7–14.7% fat, 0.1–1.1% crude fiber, 0.8–2.4% ash, 3.9–40.9% nitrogen free extract and 82–236 Cals 0.34–0.99 Mj) per 100 g food. The dishes had reasonably good amounts of K, P, Fe, Cu, Mn, and some B‐vitamins. Vitamin‐A, folacin …
Chemical and nutritional quality of some cereals and legumes based Saudi Arabian dishes II. Mineral and vitamin contents
Six Saudi Arabian dishes based on cereals or legumes were analyzed for nine mineral elements and vitamins. Results indicated the following concentrations (mg/ 100 g): sodium 14–590, potassium 24–215, calcium 21–37, phosphorus 61–123, magnesium 22–31, iron 0.25–2.22, zinc 0.26–0.94, copper 0.23–0.47, and manganese 0.36–1.14. The concentration of the vitamins were: vitamind A 5–16 Retinol Equivalents/100 g, thiamine 0.031–0.106 mg/100 g, riboflavin…
The chemical composition and nutritive value of madeer
Chemical composition and nutritive value of madeer (oggtt). a local hard cheese‐like dairy product made from goat's and/or sheep's milk by desert dwellers of Saudi Arabia, was investigated. The proximate composition of madeer showed 35.5 percent protein and 15.3 percent fat. It contained nutritionally significant amounts (mg/100 g) of potassium (1991), calcium (982), phosphorus (957), pantothenic acid (1.45), ribofiavin (0.40), thiamine (0.24), n…
