No full textAllelopathy is a naturally occurring ecological phenomenon in which the livingorganisms produce and release the biochemicals (allelochemicals) in the environmentthat affect the growth, development, reproduction, and survival of otherliving organisms in the surrounding environment. For field crops, the phenomenonof allelopathy can be exploited in the form of intercropping, use ofcover crops, mulching, crop rotations, and use of plant water extracts alone orin combination with reduced doses of herbicides to provide effective controlof the agricultural pests and diseases. For the control of insect pests (field andstorage insect pests), the use of allelopathic plant water extracts and the powderof allelopathic plants may be quite useful. The allelochemicals affect thegrowth of unwanted plants (e.g., weeds) through changes in the cell structure,inhibition of cell elongation/division, disruption of membrane structures, anddisruption of water and nutrient uptake and the process of photosynthesis. Thephenomenon of allelopathy is eco-friendly, and it may help significantly reducethe usage of pesticides. Thus, the phenomenon of allelopathy provides an attractiveecological alternative to pesticides for controlling the pests and diseases ofthe agricultural crops. In this chapter, we have discussed the mechanismof allelochemicals for growth inhibition in plants and the role of crop rotation,allelopathic mulches, allelopathic cover crops, intercrops, and allelopathic waterextracts (alone or with reduced doses of herbicides) in weed management. Therole of allopathic water extracts and allelopathic powders for managing the insectpests and diseases has also been described
Achieving business competitiveness through corporate social responsibility and dynamic capabilities: An empirical evidence from emerging economy
No full textThe automobile industry is adopting various processes, including innovation and dynamic capabilities, to foster economic growth and survival without negatively affecting the environment. This study investigates the indirect role of green innovation and environmental performance in the relationships of corporate social responsibility and dynamic capabilities with business competitiveness. Additionally, this research explores government support as a boundary condition in strengthening (or vice versa) the impact of dynamic capabilities and corporate social responsibility on green innovation. We used a self-administered survey questionnaire to collect data from 344 respondents in Pakistan's automobile industry. The structural equation modeling results revealed that green innovation and environmental performance act as mediators and government support strengthens dynamic capabilities and corporate social responsibility connection with green innovation. The theoretical and practical implications for practicing managers are thoroughly discussed
“A healthy outside starts from the inside”: A matter of sustainable consumption behavior in Italy and Pakistan
No full textThe aim of this research is to determine people's motives when purchasing organic food and how these motives are moderated by price sensitivity and ethical concerns in a cross-cultural setting. A highly structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from 673 Italian and 594 Pakistani consumers, using the convenience sampling technique. Based on the etic research approach, the measurement invariance tests were performed, and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that environmental concerns and health-consciousness are significant predictors of subjective norms and purchase attitudes among Italian consumers. Food safety concern proved the strongest predictor of purchase attitude and perceived behavioral control among Pakistani consumers. The results also confirm the moderating role of ethical concerns and price sensitivity in buying organic food in both cultures. In terms of originality, this study fills significant gaps in the literature, particularly regarding the roles of attitude, behavioral control, and subjective norms in consumer buying motives and purchasing intentions in cross-cultural studies but more importantly, the results validate that consumer concerns across the globe are related to the Sustainability Development Goals and the U.N. 2030 agenda, which aptly provides a blue print for the development and developmental goals and concerns across nations
TV viewership and political participation in Pakistan
No full textThis data is based on the following Research Questions:
RQ1: Whether there is any relationship between the university students level of political knowledge and their political TV talk shows watching habits?
RQ2: What is the relationship between the level of political awareness and watching TV political talk shows among students in Lahore, Pakistan?
RQ3: Is there any relationship between political participation and TV political talk shows watching among university students in Lahore, Pakistan?
The data analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between television political talk shows watching and political participation of university students of Lahore in Pakistan General Elections 2018. Also, there is a mediation role of political knowledge.
The data was gathered from the public sector and private sector universities of Lahore during September and October 2018 after the General Elections. Undergraduate and postgraduate level students were included among the respondents and it was collected through a self-administered paper and pencil questionnaire comprising 30 close-ended questions adapted from already built scales (McLeod et al., 2013). The data can be reused for studying the role of TV viewership and political participation, especially in the case of the youth and university students

No full textThis paper study the relationship between social protection expenditures, poverty, income inequality and economic growth in a marginalized country like Pakistan by using annual data available from 1983 to 2015.

Results of cointegration techniques suggested to increase social protection expenditures reduces poverty and inequality in case of Pakistan. Furthermore, increase the expenditures on social protection programs have positive impact on economy and boost economic growth
Common Fixed Point Theorems of Integral Type Contraction on Metric Spaces and Its Applications To System of Functional Equations
No full textERHAN, INCI M./0000-0001-6042-3695; Sarwar, Muhammad/0000-0003-3904-8442In this article, using the common (CLR) property, common fixed point results for two pairs of weakly compatible mappings satisfying contractive condition of integral type on metric spaces are established. Furthermore, the existence and uniqueness of common solution for system of functional equations arising in dynamic programming are discussed as an application of a common fixed point theorem presented in this paper
