Authors: Naz Tahira
Published: October 2024

Hazrat Shaikh Rukn-e-Alam was an admired Sufi saint belonging to the Suhrawardia order who was born in Multan in 1251 AD. He was the descendant of Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya who was educated in the city of Baghdad & later started following Sheikh Shahab-ud-Din Sahurwardi. Sheikh Bahauddin was sent to Multan by his master for the spiritual guidance of the people. Shaikh Rukn-e-Alam carried on the legacy of his grandfather as an esteemed Sufi saint, known for his spiritual teachings and literary works. Shaikh Rukn-e-Alam was widely renowned for his kind-heartedness and empathy, miraculous healings and charitable deeds. After his death in 1334 AD, his disciples continued to promote his spiritual guidance marking a significant era in Sufi history in India. Shaikh Rukn-e-Alam, a respected Sufi saint significantly influenced his era by advocating for inclusiveness and compassion to foster unity among diverse groups of people. His close relationships with rulers (governors, kings, Sultans) like Alauddin Khilji, Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq & Muhammad bin Tughlaq showcased a reciprocal bond of respect and influence as he assisted the underprivileged and settled conflicts. Despite engaging in political scheming, his relationship with Khwaja Nizamuddin Auliya prioritized spiritual unity over rivalry among the saints. The shrine of Shaikh remains a purposeful destination for pilgrims in Multan demonstrating the enduring impact of his legacy of compassion over the years. This research focuses on the lineage/ancestry, political involvement of this saint, connections with other saints and religious duties of the Suharwardia order specifically Shaikh Rukn-e-Alam.

Authors: Sarah Nawazish  , Dr. Talat Afza
Published: October 2024

The recent literature about FinTech services in Pakistani commercial banks has grabbed much attention as these services have increased rapidly in the last few decades. This paper examines the co-movement between FinTech, economic policy uncertainty, bank- variability, and governance quality. The data was obtained from 2014-2020 on a monthly frequency. To address the relationship and co-movement, we have applied more advanced and sophisticated econometric models, autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL), and continuous wavelet (CTW) to investigate the relationship between the variables. These approaches provide flexibility of assumptions for time-series data and provide robust results. The results indicate a short and long-run symmetric relationship with a significant co-movement between the variables.

Published: October 2024

Cardiac arrest is a critical medical emergency, accounting for 15-20% of global deaths. Timely intervention through cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for improving survival rates. When performed quickly, early CPR can dramatically improve survival rates, frequently achieving double or triple results. Despite its importance, many individuals, including healthcare students, lack adequate training and confidence in performing CPR effectively. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and practices of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students regarding CPR at Isra University, Hyderabad. From July to September 2024, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out using a sample size of 80 BSN students chosen by non-probability convenience sampling. A validated questionnaire was used to gather data, and IBM SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis, with descriptive statistics; frequencies and percentages. The study showed that 88.8% of participants recognized CPR as a critical emergency procedure, and 85% understood the importance of timely intervention. However, only 66.3% were aware that CPR should be performed outside of hospital settings. It was concluded that although BSN students possess a moderate level of knowledge regarding CPR, there are notable gaps in both their understanding of its application in various contexts and their practical experience. Enhanced training programs are needed to address these gaps, ensuring nursing students are fully prepared to respond effectively in emergencies.

Authors: Hazrat Umar
Published: October 2024

The Belt and Road Initiative introduced by China is one of the biggest infrastructure and development projects striving to facilitate commercial exchanges and stimulate growth through construction, trade, and investment links across countries and continents. Under this grand framework, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) arose as a significant and novel dimension of the deepening bilateral relationship between Beijing and Islamabad Meanwhile CPEC plays a strategic role as a critical artery that aims to redefine the regional dynamics. This article undertakes analytical research to disclose the position as well as consequences of CPEC among other projects comprising the BRI on a global scale. Through fine-grained analysis of the political, economic, and social dimensions of CPEC somehow positioned next to other BRI projects, this study can identify the uniqueness of CPEC at the level of its ambitions, challenges, and implications on both regional geopolitics and economic frameworks. The paper draws upon a combination of qualitative and quantitative data, comprising CPEC project results, bilateral agreements, and economic indicators, among others, to demonstrate how CPEC functions as a driving force towards economic transformation in Pakistan with associated implications for international trade corridors. Moreover, the research sheds light on the geopolitical strategies behind China’s investments and brings to the surface how CPEC is not only employed in economic affairs but rather military and geopolitical interests for China in South Asia as well. Such a comparative study assists in the process of knowing the multilayered nature of the BRI, and bringing forth those emerging insights on how projects like CPEC can form the structure of global economic and governance engagement of the 21st century.

Impact of employee engagement on Organizational Productivity
Authors: Tayyaba Iqbal  , Irfan Mahmood
Published: October 2024

This study aims at establishing the relationship between employee engagement and organizational performance with emphasis on communication, career growth and rewards. This research adopts a quantitative approach with data collected from one hundred workers across the organization departments. These tests indicated that the relationship between EE and actual performance is rather low, thus indicating that although engagement is a critical concept to consider, it cannot solely explain the performance of an organization. Some common factors such as communication and career management came out with a compromise to show that these factors are quite effective depending on how such factors are adopted or perceived by the employees. This paper proposes ways to increase employee participation, such as increasing communication clarity, providing equal opportunity for staff to receive recognition, and creating clear career paths. They are strategies which can assist the organizations in encouraging the employees and may ultimately increase productivity in the long run.
The Interplay of Digital Technologies and Gender in Imtiaz’s Karachi, you are Killing me: A Cyberfeminist Analysis
Authors: Muhammad Ali Abbas  , Farkhanda Shahid Khan
Published: October 2024

This article examines the complex dynamics of women’s relationships with technology in modern urban difficulties, focusing on Saba Imtiaz’s Karachi, You’re Killing Me!. Keeping in view how Sadie Plant’s cyberfeminist theory informs about the revolutionary possibilities of the digital world, the study examines the challenges and opportunities that influence women’s use of technology as they navigate the complexity of a diverse yet dangerous metropolis, Karachi. This article argues that analysing women’s interactions with technology inside the novel, delivers a larger implication of women-tech interaction for promoting gender equality in metropolitan area of Karachi where socioeconomic gaps are prevalent. It is important to examine how gender nequities in the digital world, access concerns, and societal norms interact with the novel’s nique depiction of technology as a tool that amidst these challenges empowers women. Finally, this study adds to the growing body of knowledge on women’s agency in the digital era by highlighting the importance of the particular urban setting for conversations about technology, gender and empowerment.

Socio economics impacts of CPEC on Pakistan; the dark side of the project
Authors: Malik Shozab Hassan
Published: October 2024

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a flagship project under China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with significant investments in energy projects, infrastructure development, and special economic zones. While CPEC has been praised as a game-changer for Pakistan but major concerns have been raised about its negative socio-economic impacts. This research article spreads light on a comprehensive literature review to find out these impacts and identify research gaps that the researchers have not filled yet. This paper reveals that CPEC intensifies existing socio-economic inequalities, displaces local communities, causes environmental degradation, and raises concerns about debt sustainability of Pakistan. The lack of transparency in project execution has further boosted these issues. In this paper I have examined the experiences of aboriginal communities and gendered repercussions, investigated labor rights and waged conditions, and environmental impacts. As the project is still not fully completed, new issues may arise with the completion and passage of time. By conducting the research further deep, policymakers can gain a better understanding of the potential outcomes of CPEC and develop strategies accordingly to eliminate any negative impact that can be hazardous for Pakistan's economy, environment, and society.

Leaf blight is one of the main diseases in oil palm nurseries, as a result of the attack of the pathogen Colletotrichum sp. The initial symptoms are found on the edges of the leaves. Colletotrichum sp. is a pathogenic fungus that causes blight in oil palm, so it needs to be controlled. One of the alternative controls is by using rambutan wood liquid smoke. This study aims to obtain an effective concentration of rambutan wood liquid smoke that can inhibit the growth of Colletotrichum sp. in vitro. This research was carried out from November 2023 to January 2024 at the Laboratory of Pathology, Entomology, Microbiology and Soil Science, Faculty of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Sultan Syarif Kasim State Islamic University, Riau. This study used an experimental method with a complete randomized design (RAL) with 6 treatments (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%) with each treatment repeated 4 times, so that there were 24 experimental units. Observation parameters include total phenol analysis and PH test of liquid smoke, macroscopic, growth rate (cm/day) and inhibition (%) Colletotrichum sp. The results showed a total phenol content of 3.47% and a PH test. Rambutan wood liquid smoke with a concentration of 4% is very effective in inhibiting Colletotrichum sp. 100% inhibition and growth rate of 0 cm/day.

Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted individuals with diabetes, revealing a complex interplay between the virus and pre-existing hyperglycemia. This review explores how COVID-19 exacerbates hyperglycemia in diabetic patients, primarily through mechanisms such as stress response, cytokine storms, and increased insulin resistance. Diabetic individuals are particularly susceptible to severe COVID-19 outcomes, including heightened mortality rates, due to compromised immune responses and coexisting conditions like cardiovascular and renal complications. The review also addresses the unique challenges of managing diabetes during COVID-19, including the need for adjustments in insulin therapy and the impact of COVID-19 treatments, such as corticosteroids, on glucose control. Additionally, it highlights the potential long-term effects of COVID-19 on diabetic patients, including the onset of new diabetes and persistent metabolic issues. The review emphasizes the importance of glycemic control, vaccination, and holistic care approaches to mitigate the severity of COVID-19 in diabetic patients. Furthermore, it examines the psychological and socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic on this vulnerable population. As ongoing research continues to investigate the interaction between COVID-19 and diabetes, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and future directions in managing diabetic patients during and after the pandemic.

Desafíos y limitaciones en el abordaje de memorias indígenas. Algunas reflexiones teóricas a partir del caso de Santiago del Estero, Argentina
Authors: Suárez Mauricio Aníbal
Published: October 2024

Este escrito representa una revisión teórica y bibliográfica sobre el enfoque de las memorias aplicado al análisis de representaciones del pasado en comunidades indígenas. Para ello, revisitamos los presupuestos epistemológicos de los paradigmas de la memoria para reflexionar sobre los “pasados presentes” de estas comunidades. Concluimos que muchas categorizaciones, construidas a partir de experiencias de sujetos con otras historias, más allá de su reificación y abstracción, limitan el análisis de las memorias indígenas en general. Asimismo, consideramos que, para el caso de Santiago del Estero, dada su particular formación de alteridades provinciales, es crucial resistir a la idea de etnificar las memorias indígenas y abordarlas, en primeras aproximaciones, como práctica política y como generadora de grupalidad.
