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.

policies for attractiveness in South Asia. This study highlights
the importance of political risk and policy uncertainties regarding
the FDI inflows. The political risk and sustainable policy is
essential for FDI inflows, in addition to fiscal incentives. This
study recommended the importance of political factors and
macro-economic factors in consideration the issues of FDI
attraction for policy makers in South Asia.
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.
