Findings suggest financial leverage and operating leverage enhance ROA, while asset size and consumer inflation have mixed effects. Industrial production positively correlates with ROA, whereas the pandemic negatively impacts corporate performance. These insights inform strategic management and policy-making for economic resilience.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"1 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141101187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The absence of formal documentation of their IKSPs is a major issue and is getting increasing attention in the research literature. The ethnographic research was employed to find out the beliefs and practices in the life of the Agta of Lupigue in Sierra Madre Mountains and their implications to education. The Agta still observed some of their beliefs and practices but could hardly explain their existence and persistence. Their observance is more of a sign of respect to their elders and ancestors. These cultural beliefs and practices pose a great challenge to education particularly in its role in social transformation.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"11 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141099529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To hold characteristic assets, reuse and reusing of development and annihilation squander is the clearest approach to achieve manageability in the development division. Presently, reused aggregate RA is been generating and CDW is its source. As of late, these squanders are reused in present day reusing offices, under great quality control arrangements which could prompt enhance its execution. An investigation is completed about the characteristics of Recycled Aggregate Concrete RAC by utilizing squashing and breaking of concrete waste got from various obliteration locales & junkyard. With the end goal to upgrade the characteristics of RAC there are a few additives called as super plasticizer which are adjoined with concrete. Fixings utilized in particularly this investigation were ordinary sand, common & reused aggregate & additive namely Styrene Butadiene Rubber latex (SBR). Those aggregates are acquired from various assets. Sum of 144 concrete molds in system of 4 collections was framed. Gatherings were structured in such a route along these lines, to the point that the impact of reused coarse aggregate (half, 75 percent, and 100 percent), cement dose and expansion of latex of SBR in factor amounts by the cement weight of (0.5 percent, l percent, 1.5 percent) ought to be appropriately decided. For compressive quality and rupture modulus MOR, tests were done. Prior to the tests performance in the research center a diminishing pattern of twenty five (25) percent in compressive quality was taken note. An impressive decrease was seen in the properties of RAC by utilizing 100% reused aggregate when contrasted with Natural Aggregate Concrete NAC. There was negligible change in Recycled Aggregate Concrete RAC made of 75 percent (%) NA and 25 percent (%) RCA. Yet, there was ideal properties differences of concrete ended with the blend of half NA and half RCA. It was seen in the outcomes that concrete squanders might be used in arrangement of concrete subsequent to reusing them which at that point can be utilized in many concrete structures.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":" 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141129171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study explores the complex interplay between neurocognitive performance and quality of life in individuals experiencing chronic pain, recognizing the multifaceted nature of this phenomenon. Objectives Investigate the association between neurocognitive performance and chronic pain severity. Examine the relationship between neurocognitive deficits and different domains of quality of life in chronic pain. Methods: A diverse sample of 113 participants from Islamabad and Rawalpindi underwent correlational analysis. Neurocognitive performance was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), chronic pain severity was determined by pain history, and quality of life was measured using a validated scale. Demographic information was collected through an online survey. Results: The sample exhibited diversity in age, gender, and education. Pain history varied, with a majority reporting pain duration of 1-2 years. Neurocognitive performance, measured by MoCA, showed a mean score of 6.6 (±2.1), while the Quality of Life Scale yielded a mean score of 82 (±15). Correlation analysis revealed a weak negative association between neurocognitive performance and quality of life, though statistically non-significant (p = .279). Similarly, the correlation between pain history duration and neurocognitive performance was minimal and non-significant (p = .757). Conclusion: Contrary to expectations, the study did not find a significant correlation between neurocognitive performance and quality of life in individuals with chronic pain. The nuanced relationships observed highlight the complexity of chronic pain experiences, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding that goes beyond the traditional pain-cognition paradigm. Tailored interventions should consider individual differences and address diverse cognitive and psychosocial factors, aiming to improve the overall well-being of those navigating the challenges of chronic pain.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139805439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
