This study examines the relationship of capital structure and financial sustainability of Microfinance Banks of Pakistan by using the panel data of 9 years from 2009 to 2014. The long-term stability and survival of an institution with its own financial resources, without donations and grants, depends on several factors. The capital structure is an important determinant of the financial sustainability of institutions. Moreover, microfinance characteristics such as management inefficiency, loan intensity, portfolio at risk, size of company, breadth of outreach and deposit mobilization also have a vital effect on financial sustainability. This study also focuses on these important characteristics of MFBs as a determinant of financial sustainability. Due to the availability of limited literature of financial sustainability and capital structure of microfinance institutions particularly as in case of Pakistan, this study has been conducted as an effort to find an empirical investigation about this relationship. Pooled Ordinary least squares (OLX) method for regression is applied after using the Hausman test and Breusch and Pagan Lagrangian test. Auto correlation, Multi co-linearity and Heteroscedasticity of panel data have been also checked. The study found a significant negative relation between borrowing of assets and financial sustainability. However, deposits which are used as a short term debt in the capital structure of MFBs and leverage have no significant effect on financial sustainability. Moreover, size of company, loan intensity and breadth of outreach has a positive significant effect on financial sustainability. However, management inefficiency has negatively affected financial sustainability. Moreover, deposit mobilization and Portfolio at risk have not found any significant effect on financial sustainability.

بھانویں سوکھا سریا نہیں

بھانویں سوکھا سریا نئیں
جیوندا ہاں میں مریا نئیں

سجناں مورے کیتے سَن
تاہیوں بیڑا تریا نئیں

میرے حال تے اِنج نہ ہس
ڈگیاں واں میں ہریا نئیں

منیا! بہت سیانا ایں
گھاہ تے میں وی چریا نئیں

ربا! تیرے ہندیاں وی
کیہڑا دکھ میں جریا نئیں

اج مزدوری لبھی سی
ڈھڈ تے فیر وی بھریا نئیں

رب نے اوہنوں کھویا تے
رب توں فیر میں ڈریا نئیں

اسلامی خارجہ پالیسی کےبنیادی اصول اور دورجدید کے بین الاقوامی تعلقات

Islam covers all aspects of human life. It is not only a religion but also a complete code of life. Hazrat Muḥammad ﷺ is the last Rasool of Allah Almighty. All his life is a translation and interpretation of the Holly Qur’ān. In this article, it is proved that the fundamental rules of Islamic foreign affairs are the torchbearer and leader for the modern age world. If we make a deep study of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism or any other religion or school of thought of the world we would not find a complete and permanent solution related to peace, security and prosperity in the world. Islam gives us the golden rules for one person, society or state in the field of making relations with others individually and collectively. Islam lays great stress on equality, social justice, brotherhood and peace not only in the state but across the border too. The fundamental rules of Islamic foreign policy not only emphasize the faith in the oneness of Allah but also the equality among all human beings and all races and nations. Islam builds international relations on a humanitarian base.

Synthesis and Characterization of Graphene Oxide Based Metallic Sulfides Nanostructures for Supercapacitor Applications

The limited available energy sources and their improper use require efficient energy storage devices. Therefore, supercapacitors are more attractive due to light weight, low cost and high specific capacitance. Graphene oxide (GO) based metal sulfides have huge potential for electrochemical applications due to large specific surface area and electrical conductivity. In this study, various GO based metal sulfides were hydrothermally synthesized on nickel foam substrate for supercapacitor applications. The structural phases were observed using X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology of aluminum, strontium, nickel and zinc based sulfides exhibited nanowall, nanorod, nanoplate and nanoweb like structures, respectively. The metal sulfides showed good electrochemical performance, which was depicted using both three and two electrodes systems. The specific capacitance and energy density determined using three electrodes galvanostatic charge discharge for GO based sulfides of aluminum, strontium, nickel and zinc were 2373.51, 1824.14, 2368.833, 2400.30 Fg-1 and 118.68, 91.56, 118.44, 120 WhKg-1, respectively. Similarly, the power densities and specific capacitance retention up to 1000 cycles were measured as 2663.58, 4356.64, 1010.00, 4407.73 WKg-1 and 57, 67, 42.20, 95.90 %, respectively. Furthermore, an excellent two electrodes symmetric behavior was revealed for GO based sulfides of aluminum nanowalls, strontium nanorods, nickel nanoplates and zinc nanoweb, because high energy densities 20.55, 10.55, 15.72, 20.29 WhKg-1 and power densities 585.50, 294.35, 848.50, 485.30 WKg-1, respectively, were observed. Hence, the excellent electrochemical behavior exhibited by the fabricated nanostructures suggested supercapacitor applications.
