Exploration of doctoral students’ supervisory experiences in Pakistani universities
Doctoral education and PhD completion are influenced by various factors, including student-related, institution, and supervisor. This study explores PhD scholars’ considerations in selecting supervisors and documents their experiences regarding accessibility, supervisory meetings, and feedback. PhD scholars from four universities were interviewed. The data were analyzed using the Braun and Clarke thematic analysis approach. The findings reveal th…
Risk-based mapping of pesticide usage and social vulnerability in the contiguous United States
In the contiguous United States, environmental justice burdens and disparities in pesticide exposure are prevalent among racial and ethnic minorities and low socioeconomic groups. Identifying the counties with high pesticide exposure and social vulnerability is essential to mitigating risk. We created an index for pesticides commonly used in the contiguous US states from 1992 to 2019, as well as a social vulnerability index. We identified the US …
Does firms’ economic performance affect social and environmental performance with the mediation of the green image
This study investigates how firms’ economic performance (EP) influences social performance (SP) and environmental performance (EnP) through the mediating role of green image (GI) in Pakistan’s manufacturing sector, offering critical insights for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in developing economies. While prior research predominantly explores how sustainability initiatives affect profitability, this work reverses the lens,…
Impact of Using Web 2.0 Tools on Presentation Skills of Pakistani English Language Learners
The study aimed to examine the influence of Padlet on the English presentation abilities of Pakistani university-level English Language Learners (ELLs) and understand their perceptions of Web 2.0 applications. Contemporary classrooms are equipped with digital technology, with teachers utilizing Web 2.0 tools like Padlet to achieve learning objectives in ESL and EFL contexts. The study employed a quantitative, one-shot experimental design with 25 …
Characterization of Environmental Levels of Pesticide Residues in Household Air and Dust Samples near a Bioenergy Plant Using Treated Seed as Feedstock
Exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides is associated with adverse human health outcomes. There is environmental contamination in Saunders County, Nebraska, due to the accumulation of fungicides and insecticides from a now-closed ethanol plant using seed corn as stock. A pilot study quantified environmental contamination in nearby houses from residual pesticides by measuring dust and air (indoor/outdoor) concentrations of neonicotinoids and fungic…

Temporal Instability of Factors Affecting Injury Severity in Helmet-Wearing and Non-Helmet-Wearing Motorcycle Crashes
Not wearing a helmet, not properly strapping the helmet on, or wearing a substandard helmet increases the risk of fatalities and injuries in motorcycle crashes. This research examines the differences in motorcycle crash injury severity considering crashes involving the compliance with and defiance of helmet use by motorcycle riders and highlights the temporal variation in their impact. Three-year (2017-2019) motorcycle crash data were collected f…
Regional Variation in Acceptance of Punjab’s Family Planning Programme
This research study is devised to analyze the impacts of those factors which are linked with regions in order to classify and resolve persistent social barriers to the further up-scaling of contraceptive use in the three regions of Punjab. It explores the impacts of three pre-conditions for the use of contraception i.e. readiness, willingness and ability which were recognized in the Coale/ Lesthaeghe framework. Further, in order to regress the us…
Integration, implementation and reporting outlooks of sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs)
Purpose The integration of sustainability is more matured in the corporate sector. However, the topic received less attention in higher education institutions (HEIs). Therefore, this study aims to conceptualize an integration framework and proposes sustainability integration and implementation index in the HEIs. Design/methodology/approach The index was developed from previous literature. For the implementation of the index, three universities we…
Sustainability in higher education
Purpose Sustainability in higher education has gained the attention of researchers and academia; however, there is still a need to explore and assess it from different perspectives that are unexplored. This study aims to evaluate and report sustainability and sustainable development in the higher education sector of Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach There are 195 recognized and registered degree awarding institutes in Pakistan. A survey-based…
Continent-Wide Analysis of Covid 19
Epidemiological and clinical features of COVID-19 should be better defined, since they can play an import role in future strategies to control this pandemic
Women directors and corporate performance
Purpose This paper aims to examine the impact of women directors on corporate performance (CP) and the mediating role of board monitoring in their relationship. Design/methodology/approach The ordinary least squares with panel corrected standard errors are used as a primary estimator along with three other estimators to check the robustness of the estimations and address the potential endogeneity in a stratified random sample of 320 non-financial…

A cointegration analysis of structural change, international tourism and energy consumption on CO 2 emission in Pakistan
This study aims to inspect the impact of tourist’s arrivals, structural change, economic growth and energy use on carbon dioxide emissions in Pakistan over the period 1981–2017. The study based on unit root tests employed Autoregressive Distributed Lagged (ARDL) bounds and Bayer and Hanck [2013. Combining non-cointegration tests. Journal of Time Series Analysis, 34(1), 83–95. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9892.2012.00814.x] combined cointegratio…
Adopting Machine Learning and Spatial Analysis Techniques for Driver Risk Assessment
Traffic violations usually caused by aggressive driving behavior are often seen as a primary contributor to traffic crashes. Violations are either caused by an unintentional or deliberate act of drivers that jeopardize the lives of fellow drivers, pedestrians, and property. This study is aimed to investigate different traffic violations (overspeeding, wrong-way driving, illegal parking, non-compliance traffic control devices, etc.) using spatial …
Predicting Risky and Aggressive Driving Behavior among Taxi Drivers
Risky and aggressive driving maneuvers are considered a significant indicator for traffic accident occurrence as well as they aggravate their severity. Traffic violations caused by such uncivilized driving behavior is a global issue. Studies in existing literature have used statistical analysis methods to explore key contributing factors toward aggressive driving and traffic violations. However, such methods are unable to capture latent correlati…

Increasing Prevalence of Consanguineous Marriage Confirmed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan
In their article on tribal Pashtuns in north-west Pakistan, Ahman et al.(2015) drew attention to the slight decline during the last 20 years in the prevalence of consanguineous marriage in Bajaur Agency, which runs counter to our recent findings in neighbouring Malakand district (Sthanadar et al., 2014). We would like to clarify an apparent misreading of our paper by Ahmad et al. In their Discussion, they indicated that the 66.4% (a = 0.0338) con…
Civil Unrest and the Current Profile of Consanguineous Marriage in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan
Information on the current prevalence and types of consanguineous marriages in Malakand District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (KPK), Pakistan, was collected from 1192 rural couples. Some 66.4% of marriages were between couples related as second cousins or closer ( F ≥0.0156), equivalent to a mean coefficient of inbreeding ( α ) of 0.0338. The data suggest that the prevalence of consanguineous unions in Malakand has been increasing during the last…
