The basic purpose of this research is to investigate herding behavior, the role of culture, the effect of macroeconomic shocks on herding behavior, and the existence of contagion of herding due to the crisis and extreme shocks in the market. This study investigates the herding behavior towards market consensus in a set of Developed, Emerging and Frontier Markets of Asia, Asia Pacific and Europe. For the identification of herding behavior towards market consensus this study employs return dispersion models and the state space model. The time variation in herding behavior is identified by estimating return dispersion model through Kalman filter estimation. One of the main objective of this research is to determine the role of culture in driving herding behavior. This study employs Hofstede’s six cultural dimensions of culture and introduces them as an explanatory variable in the return dispersion model. This study utilizes ARIMA residuals of macroeconomic variables and introduce them in state space model to figure out the effect of unexpected shocks of this variable on investor herding behavior. This study focuses on behavioral link namely contagion of herding (pure contagion) in a given set of market and determines the cross country linkages of each market with a global leader (US) through extreme shocks in macroeconomic components or crisis. For the said purpose conditional correlation between herding measures is generated through diagonal VECH bivariate GARCH (1,1) model. The major findings of the study report significant effect of herding behavior in the majority of the markets. state space model measure provide better results for all measure. Culture play a significant role in the determination of herding behavior. The presence of cultural dimensions changes the magnitude of the herding behavior in sample countries. The herding behavior of investor is affected by some macroeconomic shocks hitting the specific market. But macroeconomic shocks do not seem to play a major role in defining herding behavior in most of the markets. Majority of the markets exhibit a strong correlation with US market which is seen as turning points of herding measure during a global financial crisis of 2007-2009. This correlation also increased due to some specific macroeconomic shocks. This study provides a complete analytical framework in developed emerging and frontier markets of Asia, Asia Pacific and Europe, where economic, cultural, behavioral and external factors are simultaneously integrated to provide a better explanation of herding behavior. Therefore, in its unique design, this research is an attempt towards bridging a gap between, cultural finance, behavioral finance, and standard finance.

بھٹو کا ایٹمی پروگرام اور ہینری کسینجر کی دھمکی

 

بھٹو کا ایٹمی پروگرام اور ھینری کیسنجر کی دھمکی

اگست1976ء میں امیریکن وزیر خارجہ ڈاکٹر ھینری کیسنجر بھٹو صاحب کو ایٹمی پروگرام ختم کرانے کے لیے پاکستان آئے اور بھٹو صاحب کو بہت سمجھایا کہ ایٹمی پروگرام سے دست بردار ہو جائو ورنہ نقصان میں جائو گے جس پر بھٹو صاحب نے کیسنجر سے کہا سکندر یو نانی جسے آپ الیگزینڈر دی گریٹ کہتے ہیں وہ دنیا فتح کر نے نکلا تھا لیکن جب وہ سر زمین سندھ میں داخل ہوا تو یہاں کے مکینوں نے اسے کامیاب نہیں ہو نے د یا ۔آخر کار وہ بیمار ہوا اور مایوس ہو کر لو ٹ گیا ۔

ذواالفقار علی بھٹو کی پھانسی کا فیصلہ تو دس اگست 1976ء کو ہی کر لیا گیا تھا ۔جب امریکی وزیر خارجہ ڈاکٹر ہینری کسنجر اپنی بیوی کے ساتھ پاکستان آ یا تھا جس کے اعزاز میں اس وقت کے پنجاب کے گورنر نواب صادق قریشی نے شاہی قلعہ لاہور میں تیس مخصوص آدمیوں پر مشتمل دعوت کا اہتمام کیا تھا ۔فریدہ خانم غزل گوئی میں مشغول تھیں کہ کیسنجر نے بھٹو صاحب کو بولا ۔

"Mr,Bhutto,we will run rail road engie over you"

جس پر بھٹو صاحب نے قہقہہ لگا کر جواب دیا ۔

"When the time will come,we wil see to that also"

وہ رات بھٹو صاحب کے لیے اہم تھی ۔محفل کے ختم ہونے کے بعد ڈنر سے پہلے بھٹو صاحب نے تقریب سے خطاب کیا ۔

 

ابتكارات العلامة الزمخشري في علم المعاني خلال أسلوب السؤال والجواب في تفسيره الكشاف

Semantic (علم المعاني) is the most interesting branch of Rhetoric. Al-Zamakhsharī has discussed its categories in his introduction to “Al- Kashshᾱf”. He has elaborated the terminology of Semantics but he did not arrange it separately in chapters and did not apply this division in Al- Kashshᾱf as well. The Great Scholar of Rhetoric Al-Sakkᾱkī has categorized semantics in the form of three terminologies: the Knowledge of Semantic, (علم المعاني) the Knowledge of Eloquence, (علم البيان) the figures of speech (علم البديع). Al-Zamakhsharī was very influenced by The Great Scholar and Literary Theorist Abd-ul-Qᾱhir Al-Jurjᾱnī since he implemented whatever Abd-ul-Qᾱhir Al-Jurjᾱnī pointed out in his book “Arguments of Miracles” and “Mysteries of Rhetoric” whilst analyzing Qur’ᾱnic Verses in his exegesis “Al-Kashshᾱf” on Rhetorical basis, though he mentioned in his exegesis all foremost and supreme aspects of Rhetoric which were not referred to by any former scholars. In this article I have widely discussed the unique and distinguished rhetorical topics, highlighted by Al-Zamakhsharī in his exegesis Al-Kashshᾱf, for instance; he semantically analyzed letters and verbs in the Holy Qur’ᾱn, particularly propositional and non-propositional verbs. At the end of this article I tried my best to conclude the topic with better sequences. 

Effect of Chromium Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles on the Growth Performance, Organs Development, Intestinal Histo-Morphometry and Electrophysiology of Broilers

Effects of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles supplementation on growth, serum metabolites and intestinal histology in broilers The present research was aimed to evaluate the effects of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles (Cr-CNPs) on production performance, viscera development, serum metabolites and intestinal histology in broilers. Two hundred (200), one-day-old, broilers were randomly divided into five groups with five replicates (n=8). Birds in the first group served as control and were fed corn soya-bean based diet, while the remaining four supplemented groups were offered 200, 400, 800, and 1200 µg Cr-CNPs/kg of feed, respectively, for 35 days. Weight gain, feed intake, and FCR remained unaffected with Cr-CNPs supplementation. No changes were observed in the relative weights of viscera. The relative length of the small intestine was decreased in birds supplemented with 200 and 800 µg Cr-CNPs/kg feed compared with the 1200 µg Cr-CNPs supplemented and control groups. Serum metabolites remained unaffected with Cr-CNPs supplementation except for the serum HDL that was increased. Cr-CNPs decreased the retention of chromium in the bone at higher concentrations. Jejunal villus height, villus surface area, and villus height to crypt depth ratio were increased in 800 µg Cr-CNPs supplemented group. In conclusion, Cr-CNPs did not affect growth performance, viscera development, and most of the serum metabolites but enhanced jejunal morphological attributes at 800 µg Cr-CNPs/kg of feed. Effects of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles on the electrophysiological indices and glucose transporters in broilers The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of chromium loaded chitosan nanoparticles (Cr-CNPs) on electrophysiological indices, gene expression of glucose transporters and tissue glycogen in broilers. Two hundred (200), one-day-old, broilers were randomly divided into five groups (A, B, C, D, and E) each having five replicates (n=8). Group-A was fed a corn-soya-bean meal-based diet, while the diets of groups B, C, D, and E were supplemented with 200, 400, 800 and 1200µg Cr-CNPs/kg of feed, respectively. On day 35, eight birds per treatment were killed to obtain segments of jejunum for electrophysiological study using Ussing chambers. Additionally, two birds per replicate were randomly killed to collect the jejunum for mRNA quantification of glucose transporters and tissues for the detection of glycogen content. The basal short-circuit current (Isc) and tissue conductance (Gt) before the addition of glucose were the same in all the groups. After the addition of glucose, change in short circuit current (ΔIsc) was decreased (P<0.05) in the birds supplemented with group C and group E compared with the control group without affecting change in tissue conductance (ΔGt). Gene expression of SGLT-1 and GLUT-2 remained unaffected (P<0.05) with Cr-CNPs supplementation. The liver glycogen content decreases (P<0.05) linearly with CrCNPs supplementation while no effects were observed in muscle glycogen content. In conclusion, Cr-CNPs supplementation decreases the glucose absorption and liver glycogen content in a dosedependent manner without affecting the gene expression of glucose transporters.
