Investigating the nonlinear nexus between natural resources, digitization, economic policy uncertainty, and financial structure in Canada
The relationship between natural resource abundance and financial structure remains a contested issue, with the existing literature divided between the resource curse and resource blessing hypotheses. However, few studies examine how external macro-institutional factors shape this nexus. This study fills that gap by investigating how digitization (TNI), economic policy uncertainty (EPU), regulatory quality (RQ), and inflation (INF) influence the …
Contamination, Ecotoxicological Risks, and Sources of Potentially Toxic Elements in Roadside Dust Along Lahore–Islamabad Motorway (M-2), Pakistan
The Lahore–Islamabad Motorway (M-2) is a critical transportation corridor in Pakistan, where contamination in roadside dust by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) presents potential environmental and health concerns. This study evaluates the concentration, spatial distribution, and ecological risks of PTEs (Mn, Ni, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ag, Fe) in road dust along the M-2. PTE concentrations were determined using standard protocols and by analysis usi…

India has been at the forefront of the global nuclear disarmament campaign. However, in recent decades, its relationship with the global nuclear disarmament regime has undergone a subtle change. While in the pre-1998 phase, India pursued the cause of global nuclear disarmament vociferously; in the aftermath of the May 1998 tests, the country reoriented the thrust of its nuclear diplomacy by directing more policy thrust on arms control and non-pro…
Knowledge, practices, and barriers to access of emergency contraceptive pills in married women and men
Our study in Karachi, Pakistan, highlights critical challenges in ECP awareness, utilization, and family planning. Although the results show improved ECP usage than studies previously done in Pakistan, there is a further need to increase the reach of ECPs through a variety of methods. Persistent myths and misconceptions and a severe lack of awareness further hinders their use
Environmental Performance and SDGs
The significance of environmental deterioration as a pressing issue has led to its prominence in global discussions on strategies for prevention. It can be asserted that there exists a universal agreement that the enhancement of environmental quality is imperative for the promotion of sustainable development and societal well‐being, especially in emerging economies. In this perspective, the present research uses panel data of the E7 economies fro…

Specifically, the application of systems thinking has proven to be beneficial when applied to health systems. Although there is plenty of theory surrounding systems thinking, there is a gap between the theoretical use of systems thinking and its actual application to tackle health challenges. This study ai…

Lessons learnt of the Covid-19 contact tracing strategy in Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan using systems thinking processes
The strategy of test, trace and isolate has been promoted and seen as a crucial tool in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. As simple as the slogan sounds, effectively implementing it turns into a complex endeavor with multiple moving parts and the need for multisector collaboration. In this study, we apply a systems thinking lens to analyse the design and implementation of the contact tracing strategy for COVID-19 in the district of Islamab…

Assessment of the Perceived Importance of Religion in Couple Relationships in Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and the Nonreligious
Couple relationship standards (beliefs about what makes for a satisfying couple relationship) have not included standards held about religion, which is surprising given how important religion is in many parts of the world. In the current study, we developed the Importance of Religion in Couple Relationships Scale (IRCRS) with the aim of having a scale suitable for use across different cultural and religious groups. The IRCRS was administered to t…
A Qualitative Study on Socio-economic Impacts of Tuberculosis

Thematic analys…
Abusive supervision and knowledge hiding in service organizations
Purpose Despite burgeoning interest in knowledge hiding (KH), there are still significant gaps in the understanding of the boundary conditions under which KH is more or less likely to occur. To address this research gap, the researchers examined abusive supervision as an interpersonal antecedent of KH. In addition, this paper aims to investigate the moderating roles of negative reciprocity beliefs (NRB) and moral disengagement (MD) in the relatio…
Does Governance in Information Technology Matter When It Comes to Organizational Performance in Pakistani Public Sector Organizations? Mediating Effect of Innovation
Information technology governance (ITG) is recognized as a vital organizational ability to exploit opportunities for innovation and enhance organizational performance. However, the potential of ITG for public sector innovation and performance has not been fully grasped in Pakistani public sector organizations (PakPSOs). This study has presented an explanatory model to investigate the mediating effect of innovation in the relationship between ITG …
Epidemic Spread and Its Management Through Governance and Leadership Response Influencing the Arising Challenges Around Covid-19 in Pakistan—A Lesson Learnt for Low Income Countries With Limited Resou…
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported in China (Wuhan) at the end of 2019. It has rapidly spread over 216 countries, including the USA, UK, Europe, Russia, and many Asian countries. It has affected more than 4.5 million people, and around 0.3 million deaths have been reported globally. Many preventive measures have been adopted worldwide to mitigate its spread. The government of Pakistan has also taken many preventive measures to …
Suppression of amino acid and oligopeptide mineralization by organic manure addition in a semiarid environment
The rapid mineralization of organic nitrogen (ON) in semiarid soils frequently results in large N losses, reduced crop yields, and environmental pollution. The addition of manures to soil has the potential to promote microbial growth, increase N immobilization, reverse the decline in soil organic matter, and enhance soil quality. In this study, three contrasting organic manures were used to determine their influences on amino acid and oligopeptid…
A Moderated Mediation Model of Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy, Institutional Environment, and Entrepreneurial Orientation for SME Development
