Monetary Policy Shocks and Trade Credit
This study explores the presence of the trade credit channel and tests the validity of the pecking order theory (POT) and the market power theory (MPT) of firm capital structure utilizing a dataset of 400 listed non-financial firms in Pakistan. This study further analyses the role of GDP growth (GDPG) and financial sector development (FSD) in establishing the effect of monetary policy (MP) shocks on trade credit demand (TCD). The empirical findin…

Deciphering Adaptive and Invasive Strategies of Ipomoea carnea in Formulating Land Management at Elevated Mountains
Ipomoea carnea Jacq., a widespread invasive medicinal plant, thrives across diverse ecosystems, from deserts and wetlands to plains and mountains. Investigating its adaptations across different elevations is crucial for formulating land management strategies. This study explores the structural and functional plasticity of I. carnea along diverse mountain elevations. Plant and soil samples were collected along an elevation gradient (400–2400 m) fr…

The study was registered on clicaltrials.gov "NCT04433286" on 16/06/2020
Code-Switching and Code-Mixing Among Bilinguals
The subject research is an exhaustive study of the practice of code-switching and code-mixing among bilinguals in the context of the Pakistan Defense Forces... The frequency of mixing of codes is carried out using the Gumperz' (1982) model of metaphorical and conversational code-switching in which each function of context-based conversational code-switching is mentioned with its respective proportion. The manipulation or purpose of such code-mixi…
Awareness and Practices of Students about Road Signboards in Pakistan
Students have risk taking behavior while driving and can be faced road safety issues. Awareness about road signboards is much important to reduce the ratio of accidents. This study was conducted to check the awareness and practice of the students about road signboards at higher secondary level in Pakistan. The study was descriptive and quantitative; questionnaire was used as tool to collect data. The population of the study consisted of all the 1…
Ethnopharmacological studies of indigenous plants in Kel village, Neelum Valley, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan
The present study provides useful information about traditional uses of medicinal plants used by local communities in different ailments. The plants with the highest use values could be employed in pharmacological research and biotechnological approaches in order to achieve adequate revenue. Some of the plants in the study area are facing high threats of becoming rare, and conservation initiatives are needed to conserve them for sustainable manag…
Detection of change in vegetation cover using multi-spectral and multi-temporal information for district Sargodha, Pakistan
Detection of change is the measure of the distinct data framework and thematic change information that can direct to more tangible insights into underlying process involving land cover and landuse changes. Monitoring the locations and distributions of land cover changes is important for establishing links between policy decisions, regulatory actions and subsequent landuse activities. Change detection is the process that helps in determining the c…
Shaping Disability Rights through Shaping the Disability Movement
An estimated one billion people worldwide live with a disability, comprising 15 per cent of the global population and forming the ‘world's largest minority’ (UN ENABLE, 2011). People with disabilities are more likely to have poorer health outcomes, lower educational achievements, higher rates of poverty, and less economic activity than people without disabilities (World Health Organization (WHO), 2011: xi). This is largely as a consequence of the…
Leptochloa fusca cultivation for utilization of salt - affected soil and water resources in Cholistan Desert
In the Cholistan Desert, 0.44 million hectares are salt - affected low lying and clayey in nature locally known as 'dhars', where rainwater as well as saline groundwater could be utilized for growing salt tolerant grasses like Leptochloa fusca as forage during summer. L. fusca is a promising candidate grass for economic utilization and better management of sodic, high pH, saline soil and saline water resources of the Cholistan desert. L. fusca is…
Runoff Farming in Reducing Rural Poverty in Cholistan Desert
The proposed study strives to provide an overall picture for establishing a relationship of indigenous rainwater harvesting technology and its impact in poverty alleviation. The topographic form and the soil characteristics of Cholistan is the best catchment area for rainwater harvesting. Different profiles point out that the area is very poorly drained, capable of generating maximum runoff after absorbing minimum water. Water intake characterist…
Gis, GPS and Remote Sensing Application to Investigate Agricultural Potential in Cholistan
Agriculture plays the most important part in the economy of our country from macro perspective, while an equally important part in our social setup from a micro perspective. The ecological system of Cholistan desert is highly delicate and has gone under tremendous changes brought upon by physical and mainly by human interventions. The rapid development and integration of spatial technologies such as Geographic Information System, Global Positioni…
Role of local bodies in implementing the un convention to combat desertification in Pakistan
UN Convention to Combat Desertification comes as a ray of hope for more than one billion people around the world whose lives are threatened by the adverse impacts of drought and desertification. District Councils and Union Councils in Pakistan may play an effective role in the implementation of the CCD in Pakistan , . This is because of the fact that Union Councils and District Councils have sufficient mechanism and infrastructure to implement an…
Historical and archaeological perspectives of soil degradation in Cholistan
The word ‘Cholistan’ has been derived from a Turkish word, ‘Chol’, means a desert, while some historians believe that this name has been distorted from Iraqi (Kurdish) word, ‘Chilistan’ meaning waterless waste land (Ahmad et al., 1992; Auj, 1995 and Ahmad, 1999), popularly Cholistan is known as ‘Rohi’. In a dialect still spoken in some parts of Tibet, ‘roh’ means a hill, from which the name Rohilla has been attributed. In fact, Rohi has been deri…
