Across the world, companies are trying to create a sustainable platform through a supply chain to minimize the environmental impact of their product lines and services on the world's ecosystem. Enhancing eco-awareness at every operational level of business operations can positively improve a specific organization's reputation and legitimize business operation. Furthermore, sustainable supply chain operations also positively contribute to financial performance by enhancing productivity and cost-saving. Emerging Trends in Sustainable Supply Chain Management and Green Logistics provides relevant practical and theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research results in sustainable supply chain management and considers the strategic role of green logistics and supply chain management, proper treatment of end-of-life products recycling, emerging trends, and improvements in supply chain management and logistics operations. Covering key topics such as green purchasing, circular economy, and sustainable development, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, business owners, managers, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Engineering - Robotics, grade: A, National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), language: English, abstract: Haptic Feedback systems are used to sense the vibrations, touch and force in many real world problems for example gaming, virtual reality, mobiles, automotive industry and robotic surgery. Our work involves the design and development of a robotic arm at slave end which includes force and current sensors that allows the operator to get force feedback at the master end. Three methods of feedback are generally used i.e. Force Sensitive Resistors for object detection, Current Sensing for force feedback and Position estimation to replicate motion. The three mentioned methods are analyzed using graphs developed on the PC. Graphs are obtained by experiments on the gripper by using different objects. Master-Slave topology is used to attain some benefits over conventional control systems in term of ergonomics, accuracy and timing etc. There is an interactive GUI at master end to show us forces, size and motions at each joint of the slave unit. Along with the interactive GUI at master side, yaw and pitch motion of slave is also replicated at master end using master controller

Social media are basically varying the system users communicate, collaborate, consume, and generate. These social media are the symbol of one of the most transformative collision of information technology on business, both internal and external firm boundaries. Social media have modernized the ways of businesses relate to the marketplace, creating a new globe of potential and confront for all aspects of the enterprise, from advertising, promoting and operations to investment and human resource management. In particular, social media have been essential to recent move ahead in relational presumption about consumer preferences, new peerto- peer and embattled marketing techniques, and demand prediction.This Research is based on three pillars i.e. Social Network sites, Politics and Consumer Behaviour. How these three are links with each other. The research is carried out to understand the role of Social Networking Site on consumer behaviour and how it is been affected by politics, how companies could use the social environment to keep their consumers motivated towards their brand and stay ahead in the count.

Manipulators are robots created from a sequence of links and joints. The term manipulator means a device which is used to operate materials, parts and tools to perform a variety of tasks. The manipulator described in this book is a drilling manipulator, means it has a drill machine at its end. It moves the drill machine to specific coordinates in the workspace and drill through holes in the workpiece. Manipulator operates using two motors, one at its base and the other at the elbow joint. The movement of links and drill is controlled by micro controller.

Business world is changing from short term sale strategies to more customer-focused long term relation building strategies. It is extremely important to know the needs of your target customer so you can convey your message in a more attractive way. The most common method of advertising is television advertising. The elements of television advertising are Jingle, Brand, Celebrity, Promotional offering, Location, Theme and Song. The purpose of this research thesis is to measure the effect of television advertisement on the target buyer's decision process. This means that how an advertisement affects the thinking process of a buyer which includes need recognition, Information search, Evaluation of alternatives, Purchase decision and Post purchase behavior. This research includes 400 students of different colleges from intermediate to PhD level. Gender ratio is equal, which means this research includes 200 male and 200 female respondents. The main hypothesis of this research study is co-relational, which is elements of the Television advertisement are positively related with the buyer's decision procedure. SPSS version 19.0 is used to perform the T-test, ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test.

Parasitic diseases are most prevalent in Pakistan causing huge losses to livestock health. Ecto and endo-parasites cause 40% production losses to our herds. Among ecto-parasites ticks play a major role of vector in spread of different diseases of livestock. Surveillance studies have indicated high prevalence of different ticks in domestic and wild animals in the country. A study investigating hard ticks (ixodidae) infestation and their genera identification was carried out in Tandojam and its surrounding areas. Part of the data was collected from survey and field observations, while further examination leading to genera identification was carried out in the Laboratory of Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam. The total prevalence of ixodid ticks was found as 47% in bovines.Species wise prevalence was recorded as 50% in buffaloes and 23% in cattle. During present study, five genera of ixodid tick infesting the bovines in Tandojam were identified i.e. Boophilus (48%), Hyalomma(44%) Ixodes (4.26%), Rhipicephalus (2.71%) and Amblyomna (1.50%) in descending order.

Donkeys are extremely valuable animals in Pakistan because they are increasingly used in transportation of goods, cultivation of lands and are one of the cheapest sources of labour. Donkeys are extremely important as their use is much more in transportation and labour as compared to horses. Donkeys have a major socio-economic importance in many areas. Despite the advancement in mechanization, donkeys are still the "beasts of burden." Under smallholder farming system, donkeys are the most precious, suitable and economical animals, because they can be used in areas with coarse topography and underdeveloped roads. Strongylosis is one of the most important diseases of equines. Diarrhoea, anorexia, weight loss and marked anaemia are the clinical signs in infected animals resulting in huge mortality. The mixed strongyle infections are common in donkeys with clinical signs including anaemia, diarrhea and unthriftness.
