The development and evaluation of an automatic clitic generator for Pashto language
Clitics are unstressed and unaccented words or particles that are phonetically dependent on adjacent words, accented in nature. They are available in many languages around the world including the Pashto language, which is spoken in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The native Pashto speakers use clitics extensively in their everyday conversation and writings. There are two basic types of clitics in Pashto called: Second Position (2P) clitics and Endoclit…
A narrative review on the relationship between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and post-partum non-communicable diseases among women
Recent years have seen an increased trend in the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), which have been associated with weight gain and retention. These effects are also observed in women of reproductive ages, especially during the post-partum period, which enhances their risk of developing several non-communicable diseases later in life. The current narrative review aims to explore the relationship between SSBs consumption and post-par…

Design/methodology/approach The analysis uses panel data from 1998 to 2022, applying the method of moments quantile regression (MMQR) to assess the impact of military expenditures alongside economic growth, foreign direc…
The Nexus between tourism-energy-environmental degradation
Environmental sustainability, energy consumption, and tourism are the most discussed topics in the literature. However, limited studies have catered to the relationship among these variables. From this perspective: the current study aims to find the nexus between tourism, energy alternatives, financial development, and pollution emissions by targeting the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies. We employ the data of six GCC economies for the ye…
On the nexus between growth and disaggregated ecological footprints-empirical evidence from India
The depletion of natural capital stock due to widespread anthropogenic activities has increased concerns about environmental sustainability. Given this perspective, this study examines the relationship between environmental degradation and economic growth within the framework of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in India. The growth-environment nexus using Autoregressive Distributive Lag is heterogeneous and footprint-specific. We …
Effect of financial sector development and FDI inflow on employment rate in South Asia
The current analysis aims to explore the empirical nexus between financial development, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow, and employment rate. To attain this aim, we collect 30 years of annual data over the period 1990 to 2019 from South Asian economies and employ the autoregressive dynamic least square (ARDL) model for regression analysis. The implication of the ARDL model was subject to the mixed stationarity status of the series as asses…

Financial inclusion and environmental quality
Purpose Literature has widely discussed the relevant role of financial development in determining atmospheric quality. However, there has not been much discussion of how financial inclusion (FIC) plays its role in environmental quality. Thus, this research aims to unveil the role of financial inclusion in determining the CO 2 emissions which serve as a proxy of environmental quality. In addition, this study examines the moderating role of corrupt…

Tackling the ecological footprints of foreign direct investment and energy dependency through governance
Governance and tax revenue
This study seeks to explores the relationship among governance, foreign aid, and tax revenue. A common notion on governance is that it is a multifaceted factor, it may affect from other factor that is foreign aid. Foreign aid can hamper the governance situation and thus can reduce tax collection. To test these theoretical assumptions, we collected the numerical data from Asian economies for the years 2001–2019 and employed the panel FMOLS (fully …

Main objectives of the study were to measure the moral reasoning stages and to find out the gender differences in relation to moral reasoning. 200 students were selected as sample of the study. 100 students (50 boys, 50 girls) were selected from 5th and 8th grade from boys’ and girls’ schools. The responses of the students were interpreted t…
Spatial variability of global lake evaporation regulated by vertical vapor pressure difference
Evaporation ( E ) from about 300 million lakes worldwide without plant physiological constraints directly reflects hydrological response to atmospheric forcings. However, it remains inadequately understood about what regulate spatial variability of global lake E across seasons. Here we show that vertical vapor pressure difference ( e D ) accounts for 66% of the spatial variability of annual E , followed by wind speed (16%). The e D is also the pr…
