The study aims to rank and compare commercial banks with respect to their acceptance, adoption and implementation of green guidelines issued by SBP. The research design comprises of systematic review of literature, data extraction and analysis. Literature review consists of overview of GB practices in global banking industry as well as local industry of Pakistan. SBP has issued guidelines and required its commercial banks to transform banking practices towards green practices as a step towards sustainable green economy. The study is cross-sectional; the data collection involves content analysis of annual reports of commercial banks of Pakistan for the year 2021. Out of total forty-one banks, fourteen banks are shortlisted, using purposive sampling method, that have disclosed information about their GB practices in their annual reports. Analysis is performed using Multi-Criteria Decision Making technique (MCDM) of ‘Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution’ (TOPSIS). As per findings, Habib Bank Ltd. is at the top of bank rankings, Allied Bank is at the second and Soneri Bank is at the third rank in initiating, implementing, disclosing and obtaining positive outcomes out of their green banking initiatives. The study has implications for regulators, policy makers and practitioners. It can fill the gap in literature by adding a discussion on an important topic that is being ignored by previous researchers. The regulatory institution (i.e. SBP) can learn performance of its banks on GB guidelines. The practitioners can evaluate themselves on green practices scale and learn on how to improve their practices to perform better ahead of competitors.

Method: In terms of the objective, the current research was of an applied type, and in terms of the research design and method, it was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test design with an experimental group and a control group and a three-month follow-up period. Therefore, the statistical population of the study included all children aged 6 to 11 years who were referred to psychotherapy and counseling centers in Tehran's 3rd district in 2022 for having obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Then, 40 people were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to an experimental group (20 people) and a control group (20 people). Finally, Alexander et al.'s (2012) mindfulness-based stress reduction program was administered to the experimental group. In order to collect data, the research tools of Gross and John (2003) emotion theory questionnaires and Goodman's algebraic obsession scale (1989) were used. In order to statistically analyze the data, frequency distribution tables were used in the descriptive part, and in the inferential part of the data analysis, mixed variance analysis with repeated measurements and Bonferroni's post hoc test and SPSS software version 26 were used. Results: The F value and the significance level of the obtained value were obtained in the variable of symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (F = 12.22 and P = 0.001) and emotion regulation (F = 11.78 and P = 0.001). Therefore, it can be concluded that the independent variable (the effectiveness of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program) significantly changed the dependent variables (obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms and emotion regulation). This means that the changes made in the dependent variables were caused by the implementation of the effectiveness of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program on the members of the experimental group. Moreover, the results of the post-hoc test indicated the stability of the effectiveness of the therapy on the research variables. Conclusion: Based on the available findings, it can be concluded that the stress reduction program based on mindfulness has been effective on emotion regulation and obsessive-compulsive symptoms of children with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In the pre-test, all members of the research sample completed the self-esteem questionnaires of Crocker et al. (2003), grief experience by Barrett and Scott (1989) and impulsivity by Barrett (1959). 12 training sessions were held for the members of the experimental groups. In the post-test, all members of the research sample completed the questionnaires again. The data were analyzed using multivariate covariance. Results: The results showed that the provided interventions had a significant effect on improving the level of impulsivity, self-worth and the meaning of life of teenagers in the experimental group compared to the members of the control group. Also, by conducting follow-up tests, it has been determined that there is no significant difference between the effectiveness of the provided interventions in improving the research variables. Conclusion: These findings indicate the importance of paying attention to the cognitive and emotional structure of adolescents involved in the mourning process. Since teenagers face challenges in the process of facing life's challenges, they face challenges in their entire cognitive system towards life, the treatments that deal with reframing the mental structure of people regarding concepts such as the meaning of life, for this Teenagers seem useful.

Background and Aim: The present research performed to develop a conceptual model of adolescents’ psychological pain based on emotion (positive and negative) factor with the mediating role of emotion regulation for daily activities. Methods: The research method was the structural equations modeling. The statistical society of research included 14-18 years old girls and boys of Tehran city which among them 284 individuals selected as research sample by cluster random sampling method. Due to spread of Covid-19 pandemic, the research data collected by electronic questionnaires in social networks.

The indirect effect of negative emotions on psychological pain is equal to 0.26 that by given to t=4.81, it was significant at 0.07 level. These indirect effects are taking place via mediation of emotion regulation strategies. Thus, the positive and negative emotions have an indirect effect on adolescents’ psychological pain by mediating of emotions regulation strategies. Also, by given to RMSEA=0.070, it can conclude that the final conceptual model has a good fit. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the psychological pain of adolescents can be explained based on positive and negative emotions and through the mediation of emotion regulation for daily activities.
RISK OF THROMBOEMBOLISM IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE PATIENTS WITH NON VALVULAR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Anggunawan Sulfadli , Zainal Sri Hikmawaty
Published: January 2024

Background: Individuals with CKD are at higher risk for thromboembolic events than those without CKD whilst also at a higher bleeding risk. NVAF often coexist with CKD and heightens the risk of one another. This study aimed to investigate the risk of thromboembolism in CKD patients with NVAF. 
Methods: This systematic review used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 as standards. Inclusion criteria for literature eligibility are full-text literature, written in english, and published between 2014 and 2024. Exclusion criteria used for this study were editorials, review articles and identical journal that has been published, and submissions without DOI. Literatures were collected from online reference sources like Pubmed and SagePub.
Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 45 articles, whereas the results of our search on SagePub brought up 382 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2014 yielded a total 10 articles for PubMed and 12 articles for SagePub. In the end, we compiled a total of 5 papers, 3 of which came from PubMed and 2 of which came from SagePub. We included five research that met the criteria.
Conclusion:  The existence of both NVAF and CKD increase the risk of thromboembolic events. There are various modalities to analyze the risk of thromboembolism by assessing risk scores, kidney function, and utilizing transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In order to prevent ischaemic stroke in NVAF patients, anticoagulants can be administered by in consideration to the kidney function.
