Heart attack is a life threatening disease and its prevalence in Pakistan is 6.2%. Pakistan comprises of four provinces and its estimated population is over 190 million. Relevant literature about the MI occurrence and its epidemiology has established that both are regionspecific. A reasonable research literature about the risk factors of heart diseases exists in advanced countries, but the same is not true for an emerging state like Pakistan. Additionally, its cure necessitates extraordinary expenditures. Pakistan being the rising country is struggling to encounter this contest with insufficient resources nevertheless with tiny achievement. This work offers a compact procedure of research work in which presentation of statistical / parametric (binary LR) along with non-parametric (the ANN model) methods are used to an epidemiological research. On the contrary, this work demonstrates an instance of how the logistic regression & neural network modeling methods can be applied to investigate the etiologies & risk factors for an MI. Prior to the construction of the multiple logistic regression, simple regression analysis is performed and only the independent variables holding p-value < 0.2 are selected for the ultimate inclusion to the Multiple Logistic Regression model. Outlier’s detection, autocorrelation examination and multicollinearity Identification are performed in advance. On the other hand the neural network model is run with all the collected data for comparison of results to the LR model. On relating the outcomes from both the methods, 16 variables are significantly linked to heart attack. It is possibly established that a harmonious group of etiologies & risk factors, from both logistic regression and neural networks is recognized which indicates that ANN is a powerful alternative technique to recognize etiologies & risk factors for heart attack in Pakistan. Generally, both models performed at equal level. In all the models chest pain remained the most significant variable proving that it is the most alarming etiology / symptom of a heart attack in our country. The risk factors found significant in both male and female models are; chest pain, family history, obesity, cholesterol level, smoking, physical activity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, breathing problem, less intake of fish, psychosocial factors, & easily angered. Similarly, on provincial classification of data, and on comparison, the variables gender, living environment, marital status, ethnicity, sleeping duration, obesity, tobacco use, life style and hypertension are not the same (differ significantly) in all the four provinces and vary from one province to other. In short, it is certified in the study that certain probable etiologies & risk factors belong to eating habits, psychological activities, family history, medical history and socioeconomic status of the cases. But most of the variables are associated to case’s medical history which expose that these factors are leading to myocardial infarction in the country. Analysis is performed using SPSS version 19 & AMOS version 18 at Aksaray University, Turkey.

مظاهر فعل التنمية المستدامة لدى المقاولة المغربية: حالة المقاولة الفوسفاطية

شكلت القمّة العالمية الثالثة المنعقدة بجوهانسبورغ سنة 2002 نقطة تحول أساسية في المسار التاريخي للتنمية، حيث حضرته، ولأول مرة، المقاولات والمنظمات غير الحكومية ONG، ليضعها المؤتمر أمام مسؤولياتها التاريخية تجاه التنمية المستدامة. وينطلق هذا البحث من الأسئلة التالية: كيف تفاعلت المقاولة المغربية مع مفهوم التنمية المستدامة، وكيف وظفته في استراتيجياتها؟ ومن خلال نتائج التحليل نستنتج أن ما تروج له المقاولة الفوسفاطية، من خلال مديرية التنمية المستدامة، من كون المقاولة مسؤولة اجتماعيا يبقى مجرد "دعاية مستدامة" موجهة للسوق العالمية من أجل خدمة "استراتيجية الريادة الصناعية"، وأن عدم تحمل المقاولة لمسؤوليتها الاجتماعية والأخلاقية تجاه محيطها، أنتج مفارقة "مقاولة تنجح في محيط يفشل".

Evaluation of Union Commitment As an Outcome of Negative Workplace Events, Using the Lens of Affective Event Theory: A Six Time Lags Study

This study examines union commitment as an outcome of negative workplace events. An integrated framework consisting cronyism as an event at workplace was developed using theoretical underpinning of AET. AET describes how events happening at workplace can elicit a ect. The basic postulation of AET lies in characteristics of the work environment which contributes in the occurrence of the event. For that purpose the unique context of public sector organizations in Pakistan was used to study the dynamics of union commitment. The model explains the linkage between internal in uences and reactions to incidents. The internal in uences are the cognitions and emotions involved. The purpose of study was to understand the psychological mechanism of union commitment through discrete cycle of event and emotions. It explores the causes that a ect the formation of union among employees. The data were collected from employees working in public sector organizations throughout Pakistan. These organizations have recognized active employee unions. Data were collected in 6 time lags. Thenal analyses show results of 415 respondents. Results indicate that existence of cronyism triggers employees interest in unionization. The moderating role of narcissism between organizational cronyism and hatred could not be established. Hatred also proved to be a predictor of breach of psychological contract. The role of breach of psychological contract as mediator between hatred and pro-union commitment was also established. Moreover, contrary to the belief union commitment did not prove to be a predictor of union participation. This study developed a deeper understanding of union commitment in relation to discrete negative emotions. It has given an insight into how political intolerance in the form of cronyism in a unionized context of public sector organizations can lead to formation of attitudes and behaviors.The multiple manifestation of cronyistic relationships can alert managers and employees equally, managers should be discouraged to minimize on such foundations.Over all, the development and testing of incorporation of AET into the union commitment framework helped to explain how, and under what circumstances, employees cognitions about cronyism may lead to union commitment through the emotional reaction of negative a ectivity.
