Moving towards sustainable environment
This analysis aims to identify the roles of economic growth, imports, exports, climate financing (public-private partnership investment), and technological change in carbon-based CO 2 emissions. The study used the Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) premise in the context of Pakistan. This study used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model (short- and long-run) and the DOLS and FOMLS techniques. The statistical findings concluded that Publi…
Precarious work and its impact on health
Introduction This study aimed to examine work conditions, wage disparities, and health outcomes among female textile workers in Lahore and Faisalabad districts, employing a cross-sectional design to survey 541 participants. Methods Utilizing the Respiratory Health Questionnaire, validated with a Cronbach alpha of 0.7762, alongside OLS and Logit regression models, the research investigated the interplay between employment conditions and health ris…
Validating Directed Motivational Currents in the Acquisition of English as a Second Language
The present research intends to study Directed Motivational Currents i.e. a novel psychological construct in the acquisition of English as second language (ESL) in the context of KP, Pakistan. DMC has recently been introduced in the field of applied linguistics specifically, in L2 motivation. The main aim of the present study is to identify the DMC cases in the population of KP, Pakistan. For this purpose, the researcher has adopted a quantitativ…
The Insiders and the Outsiders in Short Fiction
The study discusses traditional gender roles and the resulting behavior in the selected works of short fiction. These gender roles dictate that men must work outside to provide for their families while women are compelled to remain inside the house, taking care of children and doing household chores. These roles are accompanied by different stereotypical traits: Men are thought to have positive traits like rationality and bravery while women are …
Behavioral insights into reusable bag adoption
Reusable bags have been introduced as an alternative to single-use plastic bags (SUPB). While beneficial, this alternative is economically and environmentally viable only if utilized multiple times. This study aims to identify the determinants influencing the use of reusable bags (RB) over single-use plastic bags (SUPB) within the framework of ecological impact reduction, employing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The focus is on understandi…
Unchecked single-use persistence
Islamabad’s 2019 ban on single-use plastic shopping bags aimed to reduce plastic waste, but compliance is limited. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the ban as well as other factors in curtailing plastic bag use in Islamabad. Regression modeling within a rational choice framework analyzed survey data from 406 retailers across 18 selected urban and rural markets. We found that the subjective belief that a fine was unlikely (β = −16.10; t =…
From Repression to Wholeness
In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s (1967) The Scarlet Letter, Arthur Dimmesdale, a minister in the church of New England, commits adultery with Hester Prynne but hides his sin from the public. He thinks that revealing the secret will mar his name and fame in the society. He is afraid of losing his reputation in his congregation and among his colleagues. From a Jungian lens, Dimmesdale strives to look pious and holy in the eyes of the public that is symboli…
A Memory-Efficient Approach to Cost-Optimized Storage Tiering for Cloud Workloads
As cloud computing continues to grow, managing and optimizing storage for cloud workloads becomes a crucial challenge. A significant concern in this domain is the cost associated with cloud storage, which can become overwhelming when dealing with vast amounts of data. Traditional storage management methods often fail to adequately address both performance and cost-efficiency, especially in dynamic and fluctuating workloads. This paper proposes a …
The role of technological innovation, economic policy uncertainty, and poverty reduction in attaining environmental sustainability agenda
Direct impact of inflow of foreign direct investment on poverty reduction in Pakistan
This empirical study examines the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and poverty reduction using some control variables in the context of Pakistan. The time-series data has been used to cover the period 1985–2016. The study found robust results of co-integration between FDI and poverty reduction in the long-run analysis. Moreover, to find the correlation between FDI and poverty reduction, this study used autoregressive distribut…
Determinants of corruption in China
The main objective of this study is to investigate the major determinants for corruptions in the People's Republic of China (hereafter China) using provincial panel data from 1998 to 2012 through the fixed effects and Instrumental Variables (IV) method. This paper uniquely considers the impacts of economic policy uncertainty on corruption in China. The study identified that the level of corruption has a positive relationship with the factors such…
