The Role of Mutual Funds and Non- Banking Financial Companies in Corporate Governance in Pakistan
No full textThis paper advances the argument that institutional investors, particularly mutual funds can play a vital role in enhancing corporate governance in emerging economies. Accordingly, regulatory framework need to be structured in a manner that would encourage the growth of the mutual fund industry and enable it to play a proactive role in corporate governance. The paper reviews and evaluates the regulation of mutual funds in Pakistan in the light of the above propositions.

Genetic Divergence in Brassica napus L. Germplasm as Determined by Quantitative Attributes
No full textBrassica napus L., a candidate with high yield and good quality oil potential was evaluated for genetic divergence for
two years on two locations. A collection of 328 lines belonging to various origins along with a check variety Faisal Canola
was sown in the field following augmented design and phenotyped for eighteen quantitative traits. The recorded data when
statistically analyzed inferred that, days to flower initiation, 50 % flowering, flower completion, 50 % maturity were main
contributors of variations in the germplasm and were highly related with pod dehiscence and yield. Furthermore, BN328,
BN371, BN494, BN618, BN625 and BN627 were found diverse lines in both years. The outcomes from this study are very
helpful to proceed for any Oilseed rape breeding programs to improve yield
On Close and Distant Reading in Digital Humanities: A Survey and Future Challenges
No full textWe present an overview of the last ten years of research on visualizations that support close and distant reading of
textual data in the digital humanities. We look at various works published within both the visualization and digital
humanities communities. We provide a taxonomy of applied methods for close and distant reading, and illustrate
approaches that combine both reading techniques to provide a multifaceted view of the data. Furthermore, we
list toolkits and potentially beneficial visualization approaches for research in the digital humanities. Finally, we
summarize collaboration experiences when developing visualizations for close and distant reading, and give an
outlook on future challenges in that research area
Visual Text Analysis in Digital Humanities
No full textIn 2005, Franco Moretti introduced Distant Reading to analyse entire literary text collections. This was a rather revolutionary idea compared to the traditional Close Reading, which focuses on the thorough interpretation of an individual work. Both reading techniques are the prior means of Visual Text Analysis. We present an overview of the research conducted since 2005 on supporting text analysis tasks with close and distant reading visualizations in the digital humanities. Therefore, we classify the observed papers according to a taxonomy of text analysis tasks, categorize applied close and distant reading techniques to support the investigation of these tasks and illustrate approaches that combine both reading techniques in order to provide a multi-faceted view of the textual data. In addition, we take a look at the used text sources and at the typical data transformation steps required for the proposed visualizations. Finally, we summarize collaboration experiences when developing visualizations for close and distant reading, and we give an outlook on future challenges in that research area
