According to established and formalized ideas, the goals of sustainable development are considered to the greatest extent due to the reduction of man-made pressure on the environment in order to provide the next generations with the opportunity to exist in favorable natural conditions. The issue of the impact of migration on the process of achieving the goals of sustainable development is considered indirectly, but has a tendency to deepen due to the quantitative growth of the group of migrants, which already affects the balance of environmental and socio-economic development of increasingly larger territories. The problem is aggravated by the reasons for the growth of migration flows and the significance of the impact on the labor market of the exporting country and the importing country. Today, using the example of Ukraine, which, being the leader among the countries exporting labor, is experiencing a difficult stage of military confrontation with the Russian Federation, one can actually outline a deeper problematic of the connection, since most EU countries were forced to be involved in this process. Ukraine and the EU countries, while caring about achieving sustainable development goals, differ in their policies towards migrants under different influences of key factors (before and during COVID-19 and in conditions of high intensity of military actions), which allows us to form a holistic vision of the problem, which should be addressed at the international level by consolidating the efforts of all participants..

Published: August 2024

The primary focus of this research is to determine the impact of green supply chain management practices (green purchasing, green manufacturing, green packaging, green distribution, and green marketing) on a firm’s sustainability with the moderating impact of top management commitment. Manufacturing industries (Fertilizers and food) were used for data collection. Data was collected through e-mail questionnaires. The study applied a quantitative approach to data analysis. The research study results showed that the direct impact of green purchasing, green manufacturing, and green packaging was significant on a firm’s sustainability. Still, the direct impact of green distribution and marketing on a firm’s sustainability was insignificant. On the other hand, top management commitment significantly moderates the relationship between green manufacturing and a firm’s sustainability, as well as green packaging and a firm’s sustainability. However, top management commitment did not moderate the connection between green purchasing and the firm’s sustainability, green distribution and sustainability, and green marketing and the firm’s sustainability.

Authors: Shah Syed Arfat Ali , Asghar Ali , Rasheed Tahir , Sattar Shahzadi
Published: August 2024

Examining the mediating impact of leader membership relations, this study investigates how performance appraisal fairness affects employee motivation to improve performance. The research employed a descriptive correlational design, surveying 364 employees in Pakistan's banking sector. Data collection deployed simple random sampling to distribute questionnaires, which were then analyzed using PLS-SEM to engage statistical methods. The findings indicate that performance appraisal fairness increases employees' motivation to improve their job performance. Impartial performance appraisals have the potential to strengthen the bonds between managers and staff, which in turn can increase the incentive to make substantial performance improvements. It is especially true when evaluations are based on clear, up-to-date job descriptions. However, ensuring fairness can be challenging. Managers need to provide consistent and unbiased appraisals to maintain employee motivation. Regular performance reviews with fair assessments can significantly boost employee morale and effort. This research aims to help banks refine their appraisal policies to get the most out of their workforce and achieve specific goals. It suggests that the current appraisal system might impact employee performance and proposes developing clear criteria to guide managers in effective employee evaluations.

Published: August 2024

In today's society, climate change is one of the most complex and pressing issues. People are increasingly aware of global warming and its far-reaching impacts on human life. This concern extends to various stakeholders, including governments, direct polluters, and financial institutions. Among these institutions, banks play a pivotal role in societal development. While banking operations may not have direct environmental implications, they are significantly influenced by the environmental awareness of their customers. The concept of Green Banking, also known as Ethical Banking, involves initiatives undertaken by banks to protect the environment. Banks can also diminish their carbon footprints through measures like adopting paperless banking, implementing energy-efficient practices, utilizing mass transportation systems, and incorporating solar energy systems. The objective of this study is to ascertain the benefits of Green Banking and its impact on financial performance. We have examined all banks in the Pakistani banking sector from 2013 to 2022 to achieve this goal. Green Banking practices are evaluated as the key variable. At the same time, financial performance is assessed using Return on Assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q. Our findings reveal a robust and statistically significant relationship between Green Banking and the financial performance of banks, as measured by both ROA and Tobin's Q.

Published: August 2024

There are many key financial concerns to consider, including dividend policy, earnings per share, return on equity, and profit after tax. Studies on the elements that influence stock prices have been conducted numerous times. Earnings per share (EPS), return on equity (ROE), and profit after tax (PAT) were considered independent factors in this study, whereas stock prices were the dependent variables. This research was done to find out how these variables affected the banking industry. Between 2015 and 2019, annual reports from fifteen Islamic banks were analyzed to determine the impact of these variables. Islamic banks underwent a ratio analysis to discover both the positive and negative effects of the various variables that were present. Regression models have been used on the data panel. The result of this study indicates that out of four independent variables, two variables (dividend ratio and return on equity) have a negative and insignificant relationship, and the other two variables (earning per share and profit after taxes) have a positive and significant relationship. These relationships have been conducted based on ratio analysis with Islamic Banks. For future directions, researchers can take the private banking sector to find out the effect of these variables on each other. This study advocated the policy implications for investors and the government.

The research method adopted in the present study was quantitative. Data was collected from 476 respondents through an online questionnaire from a rural region of Pakistan, Dera Ghazi Khan. In the study, the positive relationship between the availability, usage, and control of digital wallets, inclusive access to finance, and the levels of economic development are evident from the results. Conversely, financial literacy did not act as a moderator to these relationships. The findings of this study revealed that infrastructure development moderates the effect that goes with the use of digital wallets in a positive way in terms of financial inclusion; nevertheless, it moderates the impact in a negative way when it comes to economic empowerment. These results indicate that despite the beneficial effects of digital wallets on financial access, the benefit arising from economic power may depend on the quality and accessibility of digital support. This paper offers vital information to policymakers, financial service firms, and development agents about the characteristics that affect the impact of digital financial services in enhancing financial access and economic opportunity among rural women in Pakistan. Future studies may investigate how digital wallet patterns change in the future and the quantitative and qualitative data of rural customers.

Fiscal policy determinants are crucial for economic development because they directly influence government revenue, expenditure, and overall economic stability. Effective management of these determinants, such as tax rates, public spending, and inflation control, can promote sustainable growth, reduce poverty, and enhance the resilience of an economy against external shocks. The study aims to explore the relationship between fiscal policy determinants and economic development with the moderating role of the exchange rate and as well as inflation rate. The annual data of Pakistan from 2000 to 2023 are used for analysis. The regression analysis is used for methods of estimation. Our results show that tax revenue increases economic development due to significant positive relationships. The trade surplus also has a significant positive relationship. Moreover, government expenditure has a significant negative relationship. Foreign aid also has a significant positive impact on economic development. Moreover, the exchange rate and inflation rate play a moderating role in enhancing the relationship between fiscal policy determinants and economic development with significant intention. Our study advocated the significant policy implications for investors, government, and legislators.

Background: The work burdens on public hospitals of Pakistan have increased enormously in the recent past, due to which healthcare providers experience a higher level of burnout than other human service sectors of white-collar jobs. Government hospitals make different efforts to provide quality care with efficiency to poor patients. Healthcare employees operate in unsafe work environments, having less but overloaded infrastructure at the same time as private sector hospitals. In this scenario, employees of public hospitals are often found to be less engaged, stressed, and less attentive at their workplaces. Purpose: This study will help in some way the management of public hospitals of Punjab to understand those Human Resource Management practices that may boost work engagement of primary care providers, i.e. both Doctors and Nurses and provide evidence that Human Resource activities that are carefully designed may increase work engagement of healthcare staff which may pay back in the form of higher quality care and safety. For this purpose, this study identifies and tests those Human Resource Management practices in the Pakistani context on which Ontario Hospital Canada (OHA), Canadian Research Corporation (CRC), the National Health Service, UK and the Health Sector of the USA have given great emphasis, and which may enhance work engagement of employees. This study also highlights some possible barriers that cause variation in staff engagement.
Methodology: This is a descriptive-analytic study that was conducted in 12 Tertiary and Tehsil level public hospitals (6 each, respectively) among on-duty Doctors and Nurses. A sample of 161 doctors and 137 nurses was collected through Stratified Random Sampling (Disproportionate Method) by using the Employees Experience Survey Questionnaire and the Quality Healthcare Workplace Model of the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA). Results were obtained by reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression. Employees' work engagement was measured through a cumulative percentage of positive responses on each dimension of human resource practices, which OHA and other researchers have stressed. The employees’ Engagement Score was bifurcated into high, medium, and low levels. Findings: The study concludes that by following an employee-centric approach based on the social and economic exchange theories, High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS), if carefully designed by management through effective HRM practices, may enable employees of public hospitals to provide high-quality patient care to the general public. In summary, the findings make clear that engagement culture comes from carefully devised HR practices with positivity, compassion, and respect for healthcare employees. When staff deals with such practices, they can fulfill their intrinsic satisfaction, which is vital to creating high-quality patient care quality.

Nano emulsions are emerging as versatile drug delivery systems, offering enhanced solubility, dissolution, absorption, permeation, and bioavailability due to their nano-sized droplets and extensive interfacial area. Both high-energy and low-energy techniques are employed for nano emulsion preparation, including high-pressure homogenization, ultrasonication, phase inversion composition (PIC), and phase inversion temperature (PIT) methods. Nano emulsions demonstrate advantages in improving the stability and bioavailability of therapeutic agents, addressing common challenges such as creaming, flocculation, sedimentation, and coalescence. Stabilizers, surfactants, and process parameters play a critical role in maintaining stability and enhancing the performance of nano emulsions. Characterization methods are essential for assessing nano emulsion properties and stability. Nano emulsions show potential applications in various routes of administration, including topical, ocular, transdermal, and parenteral. The formulation, characterization, and application of nano emulsions represent a promising approach for improving therapeutic outcomes through effective and versatile drug delivery platforms. Ongoing research focuses on optimizing formulation strategies, exploring novel applications, and overcoming existing limitations to further enhance the efficacy of nano emulsion-based drug delivery systems

Artificial intelligence has several effective applications, ranging from language modelling to pharmaceutical sector enhancement, and it speeds up and lowers the cost of medication research and development. As the amount of drug-related data increases, the deep-learning method has been applied at every stage of the drug development process. A broad overview of artificial intelligence (AI) and its use in medication research and discovery is discussed in this review. Drug metabolism, excretion, and recent advancements in colorectal cancer and tooth loss are discussed, along with the integration of plant-based traditional medicine and the use of computer-aided drug discovery and ligand-based quantitative structure activity and property (QSAR/QSPR) and De Novo drug design. The AI-assisted platform used to discover the serotonin 5-HT1A drug is demonstrated, and it reached the clinical trial in less than 12 months—a significantly shorter time than the conventional method, which requires four years to complete. The challenges, ethical considerations, and future perspectives of AI in drug discovery were also discussed in this review
