Strategic Reforms for Accelerated Agricultural Growth in Pakistan
No full textAgricultural growth rates in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s show that strong growth during the 1960s was driven by several factors, including greater certainty in the use of irrigation water (as a result of an agreement with India), the introduction of productivityenhancing fertiliser-seed packages, the introduction of tubewells and the electrification of rural areas, and policy changes that improved the profitability of farming. Growth during the 1970s dropped to 2.3 percent as a result of the uncertainty created by land reforms in 1972 and 1977, severe climatic shocks, a cotton virus that depressed production for most of the decade, and political instability. The recovery in the 1980s and early 1990s can be attributed to the introduction of new cotton varieties and improved management techniques, as well as to a gradual improvement in economic incentives. Closer inspection of the nature and sources of this growth raises concerns about its sustainability and casts doubt on the ability of the sector to grow by more than 3–4 percent a year in the future. Many of the past sources of agricultural growth in Pakistan appear to have been fully exploited. Strategy for the future must effectively address the followings. Allowing the market to Operate, policy reforms that support the ongoing structural adjustment should be given top priority. To address the crisis in irrigation management market-determined incentives must be allowed to determine resource allocation within the irrigation system. Reform in extension should include establishing closer links with research institutions and reducing the number of front-line extension workers and replacing them with fewer, bettertrained workers who are more responsive to the needs of farming systems. Full-fledged land reform is difficult to enact and can be considered only after a comprehensive study of costs and benefits. Some important measures can be implemented immediately, however. Foremost is providing security of tenure to many farmers, especially tenants-at-will, thereby improving responsiveness to incentives and creating better incentives for long-term investments.

Hindianizing Heidi: Working children in Abdul Rashid Kardar's Do Phool
No full textThis article addresses Do Phool (1958), Abdul Rashid Kardar's film adaptation of Johanna Spyri's classic children's novel Heidi (1880). Kadar's film reconfigures Spyri's vision of the Romantic child within the idiom of popular Hindi cinema - with its particular performance traditions and mythological allusions - in order to project an ideological image of the newly independent State. The film therefore exemplifies what Tejaswini Ganti has called (H)Indianization. Attending closely to the work of the child actors presented in the film can reveal the ideological and allegorical use of childhood in 1950s Hindi cinema, as well as the uneven development of childhood as a universal category. © 2011 The Author
Systematics of the genus Gmelina L. (Lamiaceae) in Southeast Asia
No full textTHESIS 9225The systematics of Gmelina is investigated using morphological, anatomical, palynological and molecular
data.The genus is revised for Southeast Asia and 31 taxa are recognised consisting of 26 species, 1 subspecies,
and 4 varieties; with a very few exceptions (5 species) all are endemic to this territory. Based on calyx
characters a revised new infrageneric classification is proposed. The genus is divided in two sections: section
Asiaticum M. H. Rashid & J. Parnell and section Annameticum M. H. Rashid & J. Parnell
How to conduct a bibliometric analysis using R Packages: a comprehensive guidelines / Muhammad Fakruhayat Ab Rashid
No full textBibliometric analysis is a common and rigorous technique for analyzing and evaluating vast quantities of scientific data. This research aims to provide bibliometric methodological guidelines by providing step-bystep instructions for doing bibliometric analysis. Biblioshiny is the shiny application for bibliometrix that employs an R package for bibliometric research processes. For bibliometric analysis, researchers have utilized “hajj pilgrims” as a topic of example study. Hajj pilgrims are one of the most rapidly expanding study topics globally. A textual query on Scopus database using the term “hajj pilgrims” was performed retrieving 236 scholarly documents from 2000 to 2022. In the current analysis, the researcher came to the conclusion that the number of annual scientific productions in Scopus has significantly highest publications in global trends in 2019 with 29 documents (12.29%). The most relevant authors is Rashid H with highest publication of 33 (14%) documents. In addition, the most popular journals in hajj pilgrims research are Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease with 18 (7.63%) documents published. The country of Australia has the highest contribution of scientific articles production with 508 frequency
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Late folding-related magnetic foliation in the active Ferdows (northeastern Iran) thrust-fold system
No full textIn this work we present new AMS and structural results from the Ferdows active fold-thrust system (Lut block, Central Iran). AMS analyses show that the Miocene units of the Upper Red Formation have a well defined magnetic fabric of tectonic origin, with both magnetic lineation and magnetic foliation oriented parallel to the regional fold axes. In most of the cases the magnetic fabric, acquired when the bedding was still horizontal, is related to different degrees of LPS shortening. In some other cases, the magnetic foliation is vertical and oblique to the bedding, suggesting that in the Ferdows thrust-fold structure a cleavage system, not visible at the outcrop scale, has been developed as a consequence of later shortening related to the activity of the thrust system, responsible of the recent earthquakes in the area. Results from this study establish a relationships between the recent tectonics of the area and the evolution of the magnetic fabric and demonstrate that a well defined magnetic fabric of pure tectonic origin can also develop in poorly deformed rocks lacking field evidence of pervasive internal deformation.

Pakistan: Breaking out of stagflation into sustained growth
No full textThis paper proposes that the underlying cause of the macroeconomic problems facing Pakistan today are a series of supply shocks which have constrained output growth. It is argued that while the current debate has solely focused on government expenditures and revenues, it is critical to also address the acute energy shortages which is constraining supply. The paper goes on to present four recommendations for breaking out of the present stagflation: (i) prudent macroeconomic management, (ii) reviving the role of the government in development while restoring fiscal balance, (iii) loosening monetary policy in order to spur the private sector, and (iv) improving social safety nets.Economic Growth, Supply Shock, Pakistan
