Impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (E.R.P) System Implementation A Case Study of FMCG Sector in Pakistan

Today’s businesses have very complex information technology & management structure and day by day its complexity is increasing. The combination of IT & Management structure will give us the informative result to run the business effectively. Enterprise Resource Planning systems give ease to businesses to minimize the costs, produce more correct forecasts of demand, speed up manufacture cycles and improve customer service. ERP gives several proficient utilities such as automation and integration of business processes, supports general practices, distributing information among the organization, and gives concurrent approach to the data/information. This research report will cover the chances, challenges, and effects of the implementation of ERP in the best Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector in Pakistan. This research will give the understanding of the conversion, limitation, and completion of E.R.P in FMCG and also offer strategy from lessons learned in this view to practicing managers and researchers

The Impact of Parents' Education on Child Health from the perspective of Demographic and Health Survey

The prevalence of underweight at 31 % and stunting at 44 % among under 5 children indicates poor child health situation in Pakistan. Although many significant covariates of malnutrition have been outlined in past studies, most of them do not signify parents’ education as a composite factor to affect child malnutrition. Hence, this research will investigate the impact of parents’ education on malnutrition, controlling for other socio-demographic and behavioral confounders. This study will construct logistical regression modeling using an analytical framework for empirical analysis using a data set of 3199 selected mothers produced birth cards at the survey time, retrieved from the latest Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2012-13. Among empirical outcomes, parents’ education, household economic rank and environmental settings have significant influence on underweight and stunted infants. The interesting point is that likelihood of stunting growth is relatively less reduced than that of underweight growth when one parent with secondary and second with primary level of education, but, underweight hazard is decreased little less as only one parent is with primary level of education comparing with stunting risk. Highly educated parents have similar likelihood of acute and chronic malnutrition. Rich households appeared little more effective to cause stunted kids than underweight ones. Furthermore, moderate environment setting significantly generates a higher risk of underweight relative to stunting hazard for the kids. These outcomes suggest that parents’ education should be targeted in the public health policies to scale up child nutrition in both time span

Study the Photodegradation of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose in Presence and Absence of Benzophenone and Eosine Dye

The induced photodegradation of poly hydroxypropyl cellulose films  in air was investigated (for 350 hrs.) in presence and absence of benzophenone and eosine dye (photosensitizer) by accelerated weathering tester. The addition of (0.1wt %) of benzophenone and eosine dye to poly hydroxypropyl cellulose films (25µm in thickness) enhanced the photodegradation of the polymer films. The photodegradation rate was followed by increase in carbonyl absorbance of polymers using infrared (I.R.) and UV-visible. spectra respectively and viscosity. The concluded from this work the eosine dye enhance degradation of polymer more than benzophenone. According to the spectra results, the induced photodegradation mechanisms of polymer films were suggested under the experimental conditions employed using UV-radiation at ? = 313 nm , light intensity 3.49*10-5 einsteins.dm-3.S-1 at temperature 45 oC. Key words: photodegradation, hydroxypropyl cellulos

Design and implementation of log domain decoder

Low-Density-Parity-Check (LDPC) code has become famous in communications systems for error correction, as an advantage of the robust performance in correcting errors and the ability to meet all the requirements of the 5G system. However, the mot challenge faced researchers is the hardware implementation, because of higher complexity and long run-time. In this paper, an efficient and optimum design for log domain decoder has been implemented using Xilinx system generator with FPGA device Kintex 7 (XC7K325T-2FFG900C). Results confirm that the proposed decoder gives a Bit Error Rate (BER) very closed to theory calculations which illustrate that this decoder is suitable for next generation demand which needs high data rate with very low BER

The Impact of Dumping Policy on the Food Gap of Chicken Meat in Iraq For the Period (2004-2019) - Turkish Imports Of Chicken Meat a Case Study

Purpose: As a result of the sudden and ill-considered trade openness of Iraq after 2003 to the countries of the world in general and the neighboring countries in particular, and in the absence of the necessary support for the national productive forces and the lack of effective standardization and quality control devices, this led to the exposure of most local products, especially agricultural ones, to decline and inability On the competition and thus dumping the Iraqi market, especially the agricultural products, with imported products, this study came to find out the effect that dumping has on the local production of chicken meat and the impact of that impact on the size of the food gap, and whether the results of the practical study will be in accordance with the logic of economic theory.   Theoretical framework: The concept of dumping, its causes and the difference between it and competition, the WTO position of dumping, and the concept of the food gap were also discussed.   Design/methodology/approach: The data was collected from its official sources, and then the mathematical equations were developed according to economic theory and logic, and using the (EViews) program, the final results were obtained, which were compatible with the logic of economic theory.   Findings: The results of the study proved that when the dumping of chicken meat increased by (1%), the food gap of chicken meat increased by (5.1%).   Research, Practical & Social implications: This study contributes to proving the negative impact of dumping resulting from commercial exposure or unstudied commercial openness, and thus its impact on the food security of the Iraqi community. Originality/value: This research is the first of its kind in the field of agricultural economics, as it links the food gap and dumping policy in a theoretical and practical way

Thermal Energy Storage by Nanofluids

Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in base fluids, a new challenge for thermal sciences provided by nanotechnology. Nanofluids have unique features different from conventional solid-liquid mixtures in which mm or ?m sized particles of metals and non-metals are dispersed. At  this research adding of small weight percent of magnesium oxide MgO(0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.5wt.%) to pure water as working fluid in the building heating system by solar energy gave us different behavior, adding 0.1, 0.2wt,% gave low temperature gradient than the pure water, while 0.4 and 0.5wt.% gave greater temperature gradient than pure water which is desired.
