Green marketing is one of the growing concerns for most of the developing countries like Pakistan as evident from literature. In current situation, environmental degradation has emerged as a very hot issue of concern for the society, regulatory authorities and in addition to the corporate sector. Its importance originates from growing ecological concerns like solid wastes, a gradual depletion of ozone, air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution and more importantly global warming.

The current study investigated the issue of green marketing in context of public and private sector universities employees of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Finally the results of the quantitative and qualitative techniques were corroborated with each other. The results showed that determinants have somehow positive and somehow negative relationship with green purchase intention of consumers. The researcher identified major factors affecting green purchase intention. With the help of literature, ignored concept of green marketing is discussed in context of Pakistan. Orientation of experts are also discussed in qualitative part of the study. Finally most important and least important factors are identified through hypothesis testing to fill the gap.

The Quranic Statements on Blood and Flesh and Medical Science

The Qur’an has mentioned, among so many things, animal blood and flesh. It so appears that all of its statements on these two matters are invariably in agreement with the modern medical science. The Qur’an declares the dead-animal as forbidden for consumption. There are reasons for that. Medical science provides justification for non-consumption of dead animals’ flesh and blood. This article discusses how medical science supports the Qur’anic injunction on animals’ flesh and blood.

Effect of the Eclectic Apporach of Teaching on English Grammar at Elementary Level and Students Attitude Towards the Approach

This experimental study was conducted to look into the effect of the Eclectic Approach of teaching on English grammar at Elementary Level and students’ attitude towards the Approach. The objectives of the study were: (i) To explore the effect of the Eclectic Approach of teaching on English grammar; (ii) To delve into the effect of the Eclectic Approach of teaching on vocabulary; (iii) To investigate the effect of the Eclectic Approach of teaching on pronunciation; (iv) To look into the effect of the Eclectic Approach of teaching on communication skills − listening, speaking, reading and writing; (v) To examine the effect of the Eclectic Approach of teaching on students’ retention; and (vi) To measure the attitude of the students towards the Eclectic Approach. Fifty six (56) male students studying English in 8th class at Government High School, Mian Banda, Timergara, Dir Lower, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, were taken as a sample of the study. The study was conducted through Pre-test Post-test Equivalent Group Design. Two groups that is experimental group and control group were formed on the basis of the results of the pre-test by using pair random sampling technique. Each group consisted of twenty eight (28) students. The randomly selected control group was provided routine treatment, while the experimental group was taught through the Eclectic Approach. The experiment lasted for a period of six weeks. Data were collected through teacher-made pre-test, post-test, retention test and attitude scale. The collected data were analyzed through t-test. The results and findings of the data showed that the experimental group showed better results than the control group and the attitude of the experimental group towards the Eclectic Approach was positive. Keeping in view the encouraging results of this study, it is recommended that the Eclectic Approach of teaching should be implemented at all levels of education.
