People attitudes toward shrine-based faith healing in Sindh, Pakistan
Shrine-based faith healing in rural Pakistan reflects a culturally embedded, pragmatic response to economic hardship, healthcare inaccessibility, and spiritual belief systems. Rather than opposing biomedicine, such practices represent adaptive strategies where spiritual and medical approaches coexist. These findings highlight the need for culturally responsive healthcare interventions that integrate spiritual worldviews with improved access to fo…
Exploring the path to polio eradication
Introduction: After trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (tOPV) cessation, Pakistan has maintained immunity to type 2 poliovirus by administering inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in routine immunization, alongside monovalent OPV type 2 (mOPV2) and IPV in supplementary immunization activities (SIAs). This study assesses the change in poliovirus type 2 immunity after tOPV withdrawal and due to SIAs with mOPV2 and IPV among children aged 6-11 months. Me…
Addressing women’s climate change awareness in Sindh, Pakistan

Climate change comprehension is not a gender-neutral construct. The purpose of this paper is to investigate women’s perceptions of climate change in both rural and urban Sindh, Pakistan, as it is one of the ten most vulnerable countries to climate change. This study also looks into the sources of lo…

Laser-land leveling adoption and its impact on water use, crop yields and household income
A mixed methods study to assess the effectiveness of food-based interventions to prevent stunting among children under-five years in Districts Thatta and Sujawal, Sindh Province, Pakistan
NCT02422953 . Registered on April 15, 2015
Impact on Health and Nutrition Outcomes in Sindh Province, Pakistan
We independently conducted the impact assessment of the Tawana Pakistan Project (a school-based feeding programme to improve the nutritional status of primary school girls in impoverished rural districts of Pakistan). The evaluation was conducted among school-going girls in four districts of Sindh, Pakistan. Pre- and post-intervention data was collected for anthropometric measurements, nutritional status and physical examination. Paired analysis …
Evaluation of Nutrition Surveys in Flood-affected Areas of Pakistan
In 2010 Pakistan experienced the worst floods recorded in its history; millions of people were affected and thousands lost their lives. Nutrition assessment surveys led by UNICEF were conducted in flood-affected areas of Punjab and Sindh provinces to assess the nutrition status of children between 6–59 months while Aga Khan University (AKU) undertook a parallel assessment including micronutrient status in their project areas within Balochistan, S…
Impoverished Rural Districts of Pakistan
This article presents findings of cognitive and performance assessment among recipient and non-recipient school girls in the catchment schools of the Tawana Pakistan Project using standardised matrices. This is the first such evaluation of the relationship of a school feeding programme with developmental outcomes in rural Pakistan. There was evidence of benefits of the school feeding programme on a range of outcomes with significant improvement i…
Post-9/11 Canada–US Security Integration
Will the post-9/11 environment revive Canada–US intelligence cooperation and catalyze a security community? A comparative study based on intelligence principles, ideas, norms, orientations, and institutions drawn from the literature predicts cooperation but not necessarily a security community, owing to different (a) histories, (b) security interpretations/agenda placements, (c) political and legislative cultures, (d) degrees of public acceptance…
A Mexico–U.S. Security Community? Intelligence Without Policy, Policy Without Intelligence
Without a Mexico–United States modus operandi, any attempt at an anti-terror campaign is doomed to fail. Behind a porous border and an unlikely partnership lie two dissimilar security cultures. Pau
Explaining Post‐9/11 North American Regionalism
How do we explain North American regionalism theoretically after 9/11 rudely interrupted escalating integrative efforts? This article evaluates how accurately several competing theoretical models in international relations continue to explain post‐9/11 developments in the region. Assessing the basic tenets of neofunctionalism, security community, interdependence, neorealism, and certain intelligence‐based paradigms, the study argues that many exp…
Fundamentalism and Bangladesh
Even though the record-setting August 2005 explosion of over 500 bombs across Bangladesh killed only three people, the question if this is a new threat arena doomed to inflict even higher casualties cannot be escaped. Narrowing a generic discussion of fundamentalism, globalisation and terrorism to Bangladesh shows how five types and three levels of fundamentalism utilise globalised channels to bring terrorism closer. Distinguishing between mainst…
Canadian immigration, mexican emigration, and a North American regional interpretation
Attitudes toward “Illegal” Immigration into the United States
In the mid-1990s, Proposition 187 in California, directed primarily toward Mexican immigrants, tended to deprive “illegal” immigrants of welfare benefits, education, and all but emergency medical care. It also attempted to facilitate their deportation. By describing Mr. Carlos Suarez as a presumed illegal immigrant from Mexico, Study 1 showed that prejudice against Mexicans and concern about threat to the U.S. economy served as unique predictors …
