The aim of this research is to study the incentivized tax policy and its impact on investments in Pakistan. Study period is spanned over 25 years ranging from 1990 to 2014. For data collection and analysis, the quantitative method is predominantly used. Specifically, inferential statistics are used and for time series data analysis multiple regressions and ARDL approach techniques are used. The researcher adopted a model comprising variables of incentivized tax policy like corporate tax rates and custom tariffs to analyze its impact on (FDI) and domestic investment in Pakistan in aggregate. Findings of the study reveal that corporate tax rate is significantly negatively associated with domestic investment. Furthermore, tax rates for companies have important but negative relationship with FDI. In addition the study indicates that tariff rate has no statistically significant relationship with foreign direct investment as well as with domestic investment. Findings lead to the way forward for economic policy makers in Pakistan. Tax incentives need to be viewed as a component of larger picture of Pakistan’s vision and policy for the economy which aims at creating a fair and competitive economic environment. There is need to bear the short term results arising out of tax incentives in shape of complicated systems, inequities and untapped revenue. In market segments, tax policy needs to be implemented with a view to eradicate inefficiencies. Incentives should be used to promote investments in business with focus on research and development in industry. Decrease in corporate tax rate results in significant increase domestic investment and FDI, so government should take steps to rationalize the tax rates, so that economic activities may be accelerated and investment may grow for overall economic growth. Moreover, unlike many other countries, non-tax factors like political instability, security situation, less ease and cost ofdoing business, lack of business competitiveness, difficult and complicated regulatory procedures and weak physical infrastructure immensely and negatively affect growth of domestic and foreign investment in Pakistan. The government policies should also focus on addressing and improving the situation regarding these non-tax factors, along with providing tax incentives to promote investment and boost economic development in the country.

Pengaruh Sistem Informasi Manajemen Terhadap Pelayanan Publik

Sistem informasi manajemen merupakan hal yang mutlak ada dalam setiap badan organisasi. Karena dengan adanya sebuah sistem informasi manajemen akan membantu pelaksanaan tata kerja dari pada suatu organisasi atau instansi itu sendiri sehingga pada akhirnya dapat berjalan dengan baik dan sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Pelayanan publik adalah serangkaian kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh organisasi publik atau instansi pemerintah yang bertujuan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat akan barang dan jasa yang dilakukan sesuai standar dan peraturan yang telah ditetapkan, pemerintah melalui lembaga dan segenap aparaturnya bertugas menyediakan dan menyelenggarakan pelayanan kepada masyarakat. Dalam penelitian ini rumusan masalahnya adalah: “apakah ada pengaruh sistem informasi manajemen terhadap pelayanan publik pada Kantor Camat Boronadu Kabupaten Nias Selatan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada pengaruh sistem informasi manajemen terhadap pelayanan publik pada Kantor Camat Boronadu Kabupaten Nias Selatan. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh pegawai pada pengaruh sistem informasi manajemen terhadap pelayanan publik pada Kantor Camat Boronadu Kabupaten Nias Selatan sebanyak 16 orang. Berdasarkan data yang dikumpulkan dari penelitian yang dilakukan, maka diperoleh hasil bahwa : (1). Berdasarkan hasil validitas butir soal angket diperoleh data bahwa angket yang telah disusun oleh penulis memenuhi kriteria valid atau layak untuk digunakan sebagai alat pengumpul data penelitian ini. 2). Besar pengaruh sistem informasi manajemen terhadap pelayanan publik pada Kantor Camat Boronadu Kabupaten Nias Selatan. Adalah 27, 98% (3). Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan pengujian hipotesis diterima Ha jika rhitung> rtabel atau 2,150>1.761 sehingga dengan demikian hipotesis Ha diterima yang berada pada korelasi tinggi, atau dengan kata lain: “ada pengaruh sistem informasi manajemen terhadap pelayanan publik pada Kantor Camat Boronadu Kabupaten Nias Selatan”.

Evaluation of Biochar As a Carrier Material of Antagonistic Rhizobacteria for the Management of Root Pathogenic Fungi of Chickpea

Root diseases either soil or seed borne poses serious implications on seed germination and subsequently plant growth and development. The attack of root diseases in earlier stages of the crop completely destroys the crop resulting in unrecoverable losses. Biological control offers great potential to resist the pathogenic microbes to develop in rhizosphere subsequently reducing the attack. However persistency and sustainable number of biological control agent must be there to fight against the pathogens. In this study we determined the biochar as a carrier of antagonistic rhizobacteria and how much effective biochar is in sustaining the bacterial count in the rhizosphere and also during storage. We further determined the effect of biochar on root nodulating factors that are being altered by biochar alone and also with bacterial inoculant. This study was initiated with survey to determine the prevalence, incidence and severity of major fungal root pathogens infecting chickpea crop in major chickpea growing areas of Punjab i.e. districts Layyah and Bhakkar. Surveys were conducted during year 2013-14 and 2014-15 in the months of November to March. From each district twenty areas and three fields from each area were visited making total 120 fields. Results revealed 100% prevalence of root diseases in every single field and average highest incidence in Layyah was 60.05% and in Bhakkar it was 57.5%. The minimum and maximum incidence in Layyah and Bhakkar was 52%-72%, 48%-76% and 48%-76%, 50%-70% during 2013-14 and 2014-15 respectively. Disease severity ranged from 1-4 in almost every area/field visited. Collected samples retrieved five fungal pathogens and the most frequent was F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, with average highest frequency of 88.5% followed by M. phaseolina and Verticillium spp. with 46.5% and 24.5% respectively. Results xxii elucidated that fungal pathogens associated to roots of chickpea pose serious implications on growth and productivity of chickpea. The rhizobacteria i.e. Paenibacillus illinoisensis Rh-31 and Mesorhizobium ciceri antagonistic to fungal pathogens were inoculated to several biochar (Wheat straw (WS), Sheesham wood (SW), Sugarcane bagasse (SB) and Acacia wood (AW)) and their concentration was investigated at regular intervals of 30 days till 180 days. Highest bacterial count (cfu/g) was obtained with SB biochar even after 180 days. It was noticed that biochar held much more bacterial cells as compared to peat and pH of the carrier material seemed to be the key factor in determining the ability of compound to serve as carrier. The impact of carrier materials on disease and plant growth was studied under greenhouse conditions. SB Biochar with rhizobacteria showed significant results in decreasing the disease incidence and increasing plant growth. The effect of biochar on nodulating genes was studied by qPCR and it was noticed that expression of all genes was upregulated in real time PCR and synergistic treatments (Mesorhizobium ciceri + SB biochar) plants showed noteworthy difference from non-inoculated and independently treated with rhizobia and biochar plants. Further testing of biochar under field conditions also showed better growth as compared to non-treated plants. Therefore on the basis of results it is concluded that sugarcane bagasse biochar can be used as a good carrier material of bacterial inoculant for long term storage and also for application in the field.
