The high temperature in most nations necessitates a substantial intake of liquids to compensate for the predicted losses from respiration. Fruit juices aid detoxification in humans by utilizing acid, which is an essential universal ingredient of juices. Citric acid is the most widely used acid in juices. Physicochemical and microbiological assessments of packed juices have been conducted in the Chemistry Lab of Bahria University Islamabad. A set of eleven locally manufactured packed juices and nine imported juices samples were collected from four different shopping malls and roadside shops in Islamabad. All the twenty samples were quantitatively analyzed for their microbial contamination and physicochemical properties. First, the samples were subjected to the microbial analysis where they were tested for the total bacterial count, total coliform count, and salmonella and shigella count using Nutrient agar, EMB agar, and S.S agar, respectively. All the collected 20 juice samples were examined separately and individually and then compared with water quality standards given by World Health Organization (WHO) and PAK-EPA. After microbiological assessment of juice samples, they were further analyzed with physical and chemical parameters. Physical parameters such as pH, salts, temperature, electrical conductivity, etc. of the juices have been tested. Chemical parameters such as chlorides and alkalinity of the juice samples have been tested. After the testing, the results have been noted down and further calculations have been generated.

Both countries are depending upon the achievement of this mega project and have been trying to proper implementation as they attained numerous benefits from this creativity. In the context of this, this paper emphases how to unite sustainable development features socioeconomic and environmental factors and count vital speculations. To explore sustainable development, this study enlightens, converse, and distinguishes the social outlooks via socioeconomic and environmental dimensions in connection with this corridor. The submission thoroughly clarifies sustainable development economics linked with CPEC from local to the national level and explains the prerequisites development bond between China-Pakistan. The paper has been followed by a previous literature review demonstrating an address on the sustainability standard, impulsive governance, and allied special concerns. The theoretic viewpoints existing in the extent literature are used to scrutinize three significant sustainability initiatives. Social-economic range and, tactical importance has emphasized a combined awareness and are coming up with new approaches of leading corporators to come in the central Asia marketplaces. Hence, giving a contribution to the advanced development, exploitation, and utilization of effective economic chances, dominating the race for the comprehensive commercial markets. Concluding the study assimilates sustainability relating to the outline of the CPEC projects and delivers an excess of understanding. Recommendations are offered for development to the investors and administrators of community and private corporations concerning commitment, enactment, and integration of the sustainability approach in Pakistan.

This study included the qualitative content analysis of urban flooding and analyzed the extreme water events of Nullah Lai for the period 2010 to 2020. The main purpose to conduct this research was to determine the causes and effects of an increase in urban flooding. For this purpose 26 scientific pieces of writing (19 scientific published journal articles, 4 websites, and 3 reports) relevant to the specific concept of the research problem and research question were reviewed and analyzed. The study found the natural climate change, glaciers melting, rainfall, and temperature fluctuations) and anthropogenic (human actions, LULC change, infrastructure, industrial waste etc) factors as the main causes of the increase in urban flooding. Thus, this study suggests installing modern technology to predict intense natural weather pa...

The human body comprises almost 60% of water. Safe and clean water is necessary for all purposes in daily life which include different practices like washing, drinking, cooking, and personal cleanliness (Frances and Brack, 2018). Water is known as a universal solvent because it can dissolve a large proportion of natural or man-made substances (Balasubramanian, 2015). Fecal contaminated water is the main reason for waterborne disease. With quick urbanization, the chemical feature of water quality has contributed to increasing concerns as toxic chemicals industrial effluents pose a high hazard to life (Alurralde et al., 1998). Pakistan has been blessed with water resources, but unfortunately over the years, industrial development, overpopulation, and rapid growth have decelerated the water resources (Daud et al., 2017). Different studies show that the majority of the supplies of potable water are pollut...

The aim of the paper is reflected in assessing the character and nature of the relationship between macroeconomic factors and foreign direct investment in Southeastern European countries. Further, the subject of paper includes the examination of the impact of selected macroeconomic variables on foreign direct investment in six countries for the period from 2000 to 2012. The selected countries are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania and Serbia. The research includes an examination impact of market size, national competitiveness and employment on foreign direct investment. By using the Hausman test, it was confirmed that the fixed effect model is an appropriate model in panel analysis. Based on the result, it determined the positive impact of market size, while the industry's share of GDP and employment have a negative impact on this variable. Also, the results confirmed ...

Accurate and consistent data of irrigation networks are perilous to scheduling and managing for accurate application of irrigation water. Most of the hydrologic engineering activities like hydraulics structure, designs, flood monitoring, surplus water, reservoir, canal, and minor’s operation depend on flowing water derived from Rating Curve (RC). The effective management of irrigation water is necessary for crop water requirements and seepage losses estimation. In this context, the present study showed the actual field level work tested at two minors of the Ghotki feeder canal namely Pyaro minor and Dilwaro minor. The main object of the study is to develop gauge-discharge relation and development of RC and Rating Table (RT). The current meter was used for taking disch...
