...THE ROLE OF CORPORATE SECTOR AND NGOs IN ADDRESSING THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS IN PAKISTAN The environment in Pakistan has been degrading alarmingly over the past few decades. Pakistan faces a number of environmental issues like deforestation, water, air, land and noise pollution, depletion of water resources, destruction of arable land of to name a few. The consequences of these issues, as we know from the past, can be devastating. One major issue that every sector needs to address is the depletion of forests and rampant deforestation in the country. Forests in Pakistan are mostly found in mountainous regions of the north and west, with a few mangrove forests along the coastal line of Arabian Sea. Due to an increased demand for wood, forests have been cut down brutally at an average rate of 0.5% of the forest area per annum according to official records (The Pakistan National Conservation Strategy). The corporate sector in Pakistan has played a two-sided role when addressing environmental issues in Pakistan. Where the industrial sector pollutes the environment and disturbs the natural balance of the ecosystem, it also tries to come across as an eco-friendly sector of the society. There are a number of factories which do not consider proper waste disposal procedures and dump untreated wastes into the environment polluting the environment. Organizations in the corporate sector need to maintain a positive image in the public mind. To show that they too care about the environment...

...Managing Environmental Concerns and Resources DJ Baker Sci/256 November 27, 2012 Mrs. Solchik Managing Environmental Concerns and Resources In the simulation for Environmental Pollution, it explains that an Ecosystem refers to a community and its physical environment. Also included is the interaction of the community and organisms of the community. By understanding just what the ecosystem entails, we can better understand what is needed to meet the growing needs of an environment and all that inhabit it, and what to do to sustain the health of all within this city. As the population of an area increases, the need to expand the city’s area, this cuts into the rural areas and will cause environmental problems, such as the loss of wetlands and biological habitats, the increase of air and water pollution. First phase would be to take measures to reduce pollution levels in the environment. In the case of the simulation, it was the city of Keywich. Environmental surveys are established and then reporting measures to reduce pollution and manage energy resources are made. The way to proceed in this matter is to examine the major air pollutants for pollutants and their effects, examine factories for pollution control devices in factories, explore the pollution levels for pollution levels in Keywich. Emission testing for benefits of emission testing as well as the green facts for benefits of planting trees. There is an Effect Prism to use for the cumulative effect of meeting...

...Part 1 A. Company History and Background Most Filipinos consider Goldilocks not only a brand, but also a Filipino Institution. In fact its popular tagline, "How thoughtful, how Goldilocks" has evolved over the years into "How thoughtful, how Pinoy (colloquial for 'Filipino')", and later to "Ang sarap magmahal ng Pinoy!” embracing a culture and tradition that goes beyond the name. Now, on its 47th year, Goldilocks further highlights its position as the leading bakeshop brand in the Philippines with its new tagline, "You're the 1, Goldilocks!” Goldilocks traces its roots to the collaboration and complementary talents of the women, whose collective love for good food fueled what has been transformed into the global enterprise today. Their love of food, two sisters, Milagros and Clarita and their sister-in-law Doris, gave birth to Goldilocks in the year 1996, when they decided to open a small bakeshop along Pasong Tamo Street in Makati. Maria Flor, a third sister, later suggested that they name the enterprise "Goldilocks", after the character in a fairy tale. The intention was to make it easier for children and their mothers to remember the bakeshop's name, and also because it suggested luck and prosperity. Now on its 47th year, Goldilocks remains that company and more. At the forefront of its industry, the company enjoys a substantial lead over competitors in all aspects of performance. National consumer surveys have consistently identified Goldilocks as the...

...ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION – OUR CONCERN Environmental pollution is a cause for concern, not only for us but also for mankind as a whole. The last century has seen the rise of this menace assume gigantic proportions, so much so that it has cast its gloomy shadow on nature itself. The diminishing ozone ionosphere leading to global warming and the unpredictable seasonal variation, are some of the adverse effects of pollution that are threatening the environment in which we live. Pollution is a by-product of the unprecedented industrial revolution that we have seen in the last few decades. The establishment of large scale factories belching out smoke, fumes and chemically hazardous waste, has now started having a telling effect on the environment. This couples with the unprecedented growth of automobiles and the ever-increasing human population are some of the factors that are making environmental pollution a cause for concern. The effects of pollution are all pervasive – affecting mother earth, animals, birds and man. An immediate fallout being the reduction in the oxygen content in the atmosphere, presence of potentially harmful gases causing diseases asthma and lung cancer which are sometimes fatal. The large-scale release of chemical wastes into the rivers and streams are the cause of dwindling aquatic life in the river and oceans. This also adversely affects the soil where the river water is used for irrigation purposes. Every now and then we see in the news...

...Going concern concept The going concern concept assumes that an enterprise or the accounting entity has an indefinite or unlimited life or existence. It means that the intention of the business is to carry for a sufficiently long period of time to carry out its existing activities and commitments. It will not be liquidated or dissolved in the immediate future unless there is clear evidence or a specific instruction to the contrary. For Example: - where the venture is for a specific purpose like setting up a stall in an exhibition or fair or the construction of a building or bridge etc. under a contract, the business comes to an end on the completion of the project. Experience indicates that in spite of several business failures, enterprises have a fairly high continuance rate; certain entities have been in existence for more than a century even though the owners have changed. The business entities are therefore going concerns in the majority of the cases and it has proved useful to adopt continuity assumption for accounting purposes. Advantages 1. It provides a sound basis for the income or profit measurement. It means that the items which provide future economic benefit or which are used for more than one year are recorded a fixed assets rather than as expenses only because of the going concern assumption. 2. The going concern assumption facilitates the classification of assets and liabilities into short-term and long-term respectively 3. It is due to the...

...Fundamental Design Principles Separation of concerns • To prevent overlapping between components of the system, all “concerns” (aspects and mechanisms) of the system should be separate. The codes for each concern should be separated from the other to prevent co-locating. This also prevents interdependency within the system and helps to maintain the system easily. • This is beneficial in architecture because separation of concerns promotes organization. Each application of a software has a specific code, and separation of these codes leads to an effective and organized layered effect. A software may have business aspects, user interfaces, structure and design codes, etc., there may be more than one application of the software working together. As long as the codes of these mechanisms are separated, there will not be an overlap leading to malfunctioning. Also if each section of a system consists of a specific set of features, going back and modifying or repairing a certain feature is easily done without disturbing other aspects of the system. Single responsibility principle • In a software or system, each module should only have one task or responsibility. Responsibilities can also be described as “reasons for change.” • Each mechanism of the system should only be responsible for one task. Providing multiple tasks for one module can overload that aspect of the system and lead to faults. In an example of opening a browser page, there is a functional aspect and the cosmetic...

...'Definition of the 'going concern' concept The 'going concern' concept directs accountants to prepare financial statements on the assumption that the business is not about to go broke or be liquidated (i.e. where the business closes and sells all the assets for whatever price they can get). So, unless there is significant evidence to the contrary, accountants will base their valuations and their reporting of financial data on the assumption that the business will remain in existence for an indefinite period. An indefinite period means the foreseeable future or long enough for the business to meet its objectives and to fulfill its commitments. It is important to note that the 'going concern' concept does not imply or guarantee that the business is profitable and will remain so for the foreseeable future. So, the 'going concern' concept assumes that the business will remain in existence long enough for all the assets of the business to be fully utilized. Utilized assets means obtaining the complete benefit from their earning potential. (i.e. if you recently purchased equipment costing $5,000 that had 5 years of productive/useful life, then under the going concern assumption, the accountant would only write off one year's value $1,000 (1/5th) this year, leaving $4,000 to be treated as a fixed asset with future economic value for the business). The 'going concern' concept supports the assumption that when a business buys assets like land, equipment, and buildings, it does...

...Modularization, Commodization Modularity Definition: Modularity is a very general set of principles for managing complexity. By breaking up acomplex system into discrete pieces—which can then communicate with one another onlythrough standardized interfaces within a standardized architecture (Langlois, 2000) * Modularity is based on a systems theory view of organizations and their processes. It seeks to investigate how a system’s components are ‘coupled’ together and how tight these bonds are. * Modularity is important today because of the increased complexity of modern technology. * The driving normative basis for the investigation is that increased modularity enables the parts of a system to be separated and combined with much greater flexibility, and that such flexibility is desirable. * What is new is the application of the idea of modularity not only to technological design but also to organizational design. * A complex modern society might be made more productive through a modular design of social and economic institutions. * In a world of change, modularity is generally worth the costs. The goal is to find the modularization that minimizes interdependencies and most cleanly decomposes the system. * Innovation that takes place through change in the modules we can call modular innovation. * Handling complex systems become easier if break them up into sub-systems. * Complex product or process composed of smaller sub-systems that can be...

Communication channels through which news, entertainment, education, data, or promotional messages are disseminated Types of Media Print Media Electronic Media Importance of media Media is the most powerful tool of communication. It helps promoting the right things on right time. It gives a real exposure to the mass audience about what is right or wrong. Even though media is linked with spreading fake news like a fire, but on the safe side, it helps a lot to inform us about the realities as well. "The world is moving towards progress in every walk of life. But when we look towards societies, it feels as if some thing is still missing. Money, power, lust, etc., is the wish of every human being to attain. But we can't deny this fact that we all are bounded with loads of social problems, which are hard nuts to crack.

...Biodiversity in the Boreal Forest • Biodiversity can be defined as the variation of life within a biome or ecosystem. Unfortunately, Biodiversity around the world is at risk due to human interference and climate change. However changes within these forest and/or ocean ecosystems also impact the human population, as we depend on these crucial bionetworks for our very own existence. • The Boreal forest is a band of forest that stretches across the northern hemisphere, which includes the following countries: Canada, Russia, United States and the northern countries of Europe such as Sweden, Norway etc… (Green displays the areas where the Boreal forest is situated) • Within Canada, the Boreal forest region covers more than 290 million hectares. •This forest is primarily dominated by coniferous trees, namely: Jack Pine, Balsam Fir, Red Pine, White Pine, Black Spruce, White Spruce, Tamarack, Paper Birch, Eastern White Cedar, etc… • The leading cause of most threats upon ecosystem biodiversity is climate change; such is the case in Canada’s the Boreal forest. • Climate change also has an effect on the number of forest fires. • Invasive alien species are also a huge factor in destroying biodiversity in the Canadian Boreal forest. • The Boreal forest is the largest intact forest and wetland ecosystem remaining on earth. • One of, and perhaps the biggest threat to biodiversity in the Boreal Forest is Human infringement. • In summation the best way to preserve the Canadian...
