However, most of the economies are still facing some challenges like income and non-income disparities in sharing benefits and participation into social and economic activities. It requires attention that economic growth must be accompanied by reduction in poverty and income & non-income inequalities, and promoting equitable participation, i.e. growth must be inclusive. To address these challenges, present study presents a pioneer work to construct a unique but comprehensive inclusive growth index (IGI) over the period of last two decades for 17 Asian and 8 developed countries. The study made a comparative analysis of inclusive growth performances of developing and emerging countries of Asia and compared their final score with the benchmark set by developed countries of the world. The study highlighted the clusters o...

To find long run association between exchange rate regime and its determinants; ARDL bond testing approach is concern however for the estimation of short run analysis Error correction model (ECM) is applied. Time series data is used over the period from 1984 to 2012. Findings reveal that Trade openness, foreign exchange reserves, rate of inflation and financial development are important determinant while choosing appropriate exchange-rate regime for economy having features like Pakistan. On the basis of analysis, this study suggests that both extreme ends hard peg and free float are unfavorable for it. Still, lot of attention is required on this topic. Choice of regime is a difficult task in empirical analysis because few factors cannot explain actual regime.

Drainage basins exhibit self-organization resulting from the interaction of the slopes and channels, which are linked by exchanges of water and sediment. This paper discusses a cellular model of the sediment dynamics of a fluvial landscape. Sediment transport is triggered by the occurrence of rainstorms of varying magnitude. Starting with a randomly generated topography, over time a drainage network evolves. For storms of a specific magnitude, total sediment yield varies over more than three orders of magnitude, even though there are no external factors in the model that can be invoked to explain these variations. Instead, total sediment yield reflects the recent sediment dynamics of the basins. The frequency distribution of total sediment yield normalized using storm magnitude plots as a single curve, enabling prediction of total sediment yields for unrecorded h...

Six Asian countries have been selected for the period of 1980-2016. The study uses panel ARDL approach with Cointegration. The results of Kao test shows that remittances and misery index are co-integrated. Panel ARDL results show that misery index has a positive and significant impact on remittances in the long run but it is negative and insignificant in the short run. The results underpin the altruism theory in remittance sending behavior in the selected Asian countries. Remittance and unstable macroeconomic condition are directly proportional to each other in Asian developing countries. The government may scrutinize and determine the threshold level of instability otherwise the inflow of remittance might decrease.

This disease is characterized by erythematous areas showing raised greyish or white circinate lines or bands with irregular pattern on the dorsal surface of the tongue and depapillation. The objective in presenting the case report and literature review is to discuss the clinical presentation, associated causative factors and management strategies of geographic tongue. Key Word: Geographic tongue.

The study was conducted using non-probability convenient sample consist of 200 sales girls including evening and morning shift, with the age range of 20 to 35 years (M = 24.86, SD = 3.59) with at least 6 months sales job experience. The data collected from various Malls and shopping centers of Lahore. Customer Related Social Stressors (CSS) and Mental Health ContinuumShort Form (MHC-SF) were used as the data collection instruments. Pearson correlation and regression analysis was employed and the results showed that costumer related social stressors was found to be significantly negatively association with emotional wellbeing and social wellbeing whereas sexual harassment was found to be significantly negatively correlated with Social Wellbeing and Psychological Wellbeing. Sexual...

Construction of a sediment budget can be a useful technique to address these issues since it provides a comprehensive accounting of the fluxes and fate of sediment in the drainage basin. Sediment budget studies in large river basins are usually hampered by inadequate data. Constructing a sediment budget using classical field-based techniques is too labour intensive, time-consuming and expensive for poorly gauged, large river basins. Remote sensing has emerged as a useful tool for studying large basins, and can be combined with GIS tools for identifying potential sediment source areas and quantifying their respective contributions. Such analyses, in combination with historic hydrological records and other auxiliary data, can be utilized for constructing a sediment budget. Following this approach, a framework is...

Potential erosion rates are calculated with the Thornes model in combination with a surface runoff model. ...
