| International Anarchic Structure in Nuclearizing South Asia: An Analysis (1974-98) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | This explanatory research aimed at analyzing the nuclearization of south Asia using the framework of 'third level
of analysis' named 'international anarchic structure' by Kenneth Waltz. South Asia is the home to 1/3rd of the

| Abstract: | Vocabulary learning is one of the challenging tasks in a foreign language classroom. In order to make this process

English words. The undertaken study is an attempt in this regard to determine the breadth of the EFL vocabulary at secondary level.

from NGO pressures. Our work revisits and extends the theoretical framework as proposed by these authors by a) precisely specifying
the types of NGO actors involved in activism against firms b) explaining the process through which NGOs increase transaction costs
of the firms in North American region, for this we draw on mandatory adaptations perspective c) explaining why firms

| Abstract: | This study aims to measure the effects of bank-specific factors on the efficiency of Pakistan's twenty-seven (27)
commercial banks. Efficiency was computed by input-oriented data envelopment analysis approach under CRS
(constant return to scale) and VRS (variable return to scale) assumptions. The results revealed that overall inefficiency in commercial
banks was to tune of 10 percent and was caused by both managerial incompetence and uneconomical bank's size. However, the
uneconomic scale size remained the dominant source of inefficiency at individual banks level, and most of the banks exhibited a decreasing
return to scale (DRS) behaviour. Furthermore, efficiency scores were regressed by bank-specific factors using the Tobit regression model.

the phenomenon was defined and framed as an issue of public interest by those who say it mattered. The reason was
the occurrence of indicators such as a rise in earth temperature and prolonged summer season. The mass displacement of people from their
places of inhibits and damages to their properties forced the government to take the issue seriously. A change in the administration in the
federal capital, along with pressure from civil society and demand from various groups to resolve the issue of climate change, proved to
be something that ultimately led to the resolution of the issue and taken seriously by the government of the day. While answering the
