Globalization is increasing interconnectedness and is offering immense opportunities for businesses worldwide. Although it has been taking place for hundreds of years, it has sped up enormously over the last half-century, increasing international trade, greater dependence on the global economy, and freer movement of capital, goods, and services. While globalization can create opportunities for wealth in emerging economies, it still cannot completely close the gap between the world's poorest countries and the world's richest. Many view globalization as a threat to cultural diversity, believing that it can drown out local economies, traditions, and languages and make travel to certain regions less desirable. Neoliberalism in the Tourism and Hospitality Sector provides innovative insights into the adoption of glocalization as a measure to mitigate the threats posed by globalization within the travel and tourism industries. It is designed for policymakers, researchers, government officials, and marketers considering glocalization as a means to sustain the relevancy of local business and trade.

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is known as "king of fruits" due to its delicious taste and unique flavor. It is an important tropical fruit, belongs to family Anacardiaceae, and has been cultivated all over the world. Mango is major fruit owing to its particular climatic requirements, taste, high nutritive value, its demand and trade is rapidly expanding across the globe. Mango orchards suffering different kind of problems in nursery, poor health of tree (field), quick decline, infestation of insects and pests and lack of proper nutrition, which are principles reasons for devastation of mango orchards. Therefore, to obtain high production, good nutrition is very important with good practices, which are certainly needed to improve orchard conditions. This study was carried out with different combinations of nutrients to understand the growth physiology, increase the yield response and reduce the occurrence of malformation of mango. As, it has been revealed that healthy trees are more resistant against all kind of natural problems. It was found that balanced nutrients (N, P, K) improve vegetative and reproductive growth, increased the yield and reduced the incidence of malformation .

Pear belongs to genus Pyrus, abundantly found in temperate region of AJ & K reflects rich biodiversity. Such diversity and valuable genetic resources are being eroded due to human over exploitation, and natural calamities. Keeping in view existing genetic diversity and genetic erosion in Pyrus germplasm, the focus of present study was to develop biotechnological conservation strategies by using slow-growth techniques. However in vivo preservation was also implemented to conserve the basic stock under field conditions. The apical shoots of nine pear genotypes were preserved in vitro under minimal growth conditions using low temperature treatments, modification in medium strength and adding mannitol in the basal medium and also by reducing the concentration of BAP and using growth retardants for different storage periods i.e. 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. After twelve months of storage, the culture successfully regenerated into new shoots and they were morphologically similar to those of non-stored.

The State of the AJ &K- Pakistan is situated at the border of floristic regions of the world, various vicarant taxa have been differentiated and may hybridize in the same area and Pyrus is a good example. Biodiversity in indigenous Pyrus germplasm accumulated through extreme diversity in climate, geography, naturalized population and interspecific cross pollination. Further, due to silk trade route system could be promoted the phenomena of biodiversity in Pyrus species. Besides displaying high resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, diverse germplasm are important for genetic improvement of pears. High diversity in pear species is being eroded due to the ecological damage caused by global warming and urbanization. Therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate potential and limits of molecular technique, evaluate the current genetic structure and classifying highly valuable genotypes. Genetic markers representing highest genetic diversity to all genotypes based on SSRs and Protein (SDS-PAGE) analysis showed the diversity in protein profile need to be exploited. Present study would be helpful to initiate breeding programme and to improve existing pear diverse germplasm.

Pakistan has a strong tradition of herbal remedies and like most developing countries, its rural population still depends mainly on the indigenous system of medicine for their health related matters. Medicinal plants are a valuable source of new herbal drugs. During the last few decades, there has been increasing interest in the study of medicinal plants and their traditional use in different parts of the world. Despite the availability of different approaches for the discovery of therapeutical natural products still remain as one of the best reservoir of new structural types.

Man has always been facinated by the diversity of life. Huminity derived all of its food and many medicines and industrial products from wild and domesticated plant life. Kashmir is bestowed with a unique biodiversity comprising of different climatic zones and wide range of plant species. Plants are crucial for the diversity of terrestrial life. The medicinal values of plants play vital role in general health of mankind. Allopathic drugs cause many side effects as compared to the extracts of medicinal plants. All indigenous remedies, whether traditional or modern, have originated directly or indirectly from folklore and rituals or measuring hold to the treasure of folk medicinal knowledge and ethnomedical botany. With rapid population growth and the experience of economic development by the means of outside interventions, the natural habitats have already been destroyed to considerable extent. This situation is particularly critical in the Himalayan region that is documented in this work.Conservation of biodiversity calls for both global attention and prompt action at regional level also.

The main objectives of the present study was to measure the level of social exclusion of Muslims and Christians community in Gujrat city, to measure the quality of economic conditions of Muslims and Christians in Gujrat city and to find whether there is an association between social exclusion and their economic conditions. A survey method was used as a technique of data collection, interview schedule was developed to collect data and it was pretested on eight respondents. Quota sampling technique was used to draw 200 respondents from both categories, form city Gujrat. Collection data was edited, coded and computerized. SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) was use to analyze data. Tables were generated to show frequency and percentages. Statistical test (Chi-Square) was used to measure association between dependent and independent variables. A great significance was seen after the data analysis and interpretation. The study findings indicated that majority of the Christian respondents were socially excluded due to which they might have poor economic conditions. On the other hand Muslims are neither socially excluded nor they have poor economic conditions like Christians.

Today is the age of technology and information science so I suggest that if all healthcare centers use the same system then this can be help full in the implementation of interoperability. I suggest that when all health care centers will use same system it will be not much cost. The adopting the eHealth standards same in all hospitals and health care centers they can be easily interoperable to each other. I suggest that if all health care centers follow or adopt the eHealth standard 7 then there will be very easy interoperability among these health care centers. Health standard 7 provides all the facility for sharing the information to each other. By using this standard 7 there is also overcome to the technology and the gap of technology will also filled by using this standard. I also suggest that if the following options will adopt then it will helpful for health care organizations. There is a need to select the most appropriate terminology and all health care organizations agree on these terminologies in a consistent and coherent manner. All health care organizations should use the same system."

This book deals with the investors' behavior and stock prices variations for the period 1998-2008 in Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE), Pakistan. The first chapter comprises on working and performance of the KSE. The second chapter presents the results of surveys which are conducted in summer 2007 in KSE. Participants were asked to share the importance of twenty macro-economic, firm-specific accounting variables and other risk factors by marking only five boxes on the questionnaire with their top most priority whenever they do investment in the stock market. Based on the institutional investors' preferred variables, there has been developed a statistical relationship for determining the stock prices by applying the approaches of Nicholson (1960), Amoako-Adu and Smith (2002), Gordon and Shapiro (1956), Gordon (1959) and Kothari and Zimmerman (1995) in the third, fourth and fifth chapters. These empirical findings have the ability to evaluate the stocks and guide to investors for making better investment decisions. These empirical findings may help out the investors to choose optimal portfolio, to monitor efficiently and manage financial risks.
