The utilisation of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is widespread in the concrete industry because of the performance benefits and economic. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash (FA) have been used as the SCMs in concrete for reducing the weight of cement and improving durability properties. In this study, GGBFS at different cement replacement ratios of 0%, 20%, 40% and 60% by weight were used in fine-grained concrete. The ternary binders containing GGBFS and FA at cement replacement ratio of 60% by weight have also evaluated. Flexural and compressive strength test, rapid chloride permeability test and under-water abrasion test were performed. Experimental results show that the increase in concrete strength with GGBFS contents from 20% to 40% but at a higher period of maturity (56 days and more). The chloride permeability the under-water abrasion reduced with the increasing cement replacement by GGBFS or a combination of GGBFS and FA

Early childhood education for sustainable development roots on environmental, socio-cultural and economic ground for encouraging lifelong learning and improving values and behaviors that support sustainable development such as use of natural resources, cultural awareness, gender equality, and democracy. Educational drama contributes to the development of skills necessary for sustainable development such as communication, cooperation and decision-making. This study has two main objectives: the former is to raise awareness and to develop these skills of pre-service teachers by organizing drama activities in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD); the later objective is to implement and to evaluate the activities based on the data collected from pre-service teachers and from one specific pre-school teacher, in whose classroom these activities were carried out. Phenomenographic approach was adapted for the current study and the data was collected through interviews, photos, and field notes. The study shows that the drama activities increase awareness and improve skills for ESD within pre-service teachers. Furthermore, opinions and experiences of the pre-service teachers and the preschool teacher state that drama has positive impact on learning of pre-school children about sustainable development.

The proliferation of COVID-19 pandemic over the globe is anomalously hurting the world’s economy. The paper aims to reveal the possible loss in economic growth rate for FY 2020 due to plausible retardation in remittance/GDP size of Nepal under COVID- 19 regime by utilizing transmission approach, trend forecast, and ordinary least square method form 2000 to 2019. The study harvests two premises: first, remittance/GDP has a positive estimate to the economic growth rate and second, if the pandemic proliferates more, and if it downsizes the remittance/ GDP size by 25% to 75%, it reduces the projected GDP growth rate (6.95) up to 6.68 to 5.3% respectively for FY 2020. However, domestic literature also supports the strong role of remittance on the micro-level. Therefore, the microeconomic impact of the virus may be more appalling than the macro-economic ground.

The socio-economic status of women farmers is low because of inherent social hierarchy and economic deprivation. The main objective of the study is to find out the socio-economic status of women farmers and to investigate this different research tools is applied mainly interview schedule. The study reveals that although women's agricultural labor force is high but there has not been any significant change in the status of women farmers.

The article considers approaches to the definition of political risk by foreign and Russian authors. The author notes that some of the existing definitions saturate the concept with unnecessary conventions, without which the political risk does not cease to be such. The author proposes an essential definition of political risk. The article also notes that the essence of political risk is revealed only through said risk’s analysis. In this regard, the article considers several of proposed methods of analysis of political risk, their strengths and weaknesses. The author concludes that a large number of definitions and approaches to measuring political risk indicates the continuing development of this area, which reflects its relevance.

In some ways, Pakistan’s economic growth since 1947 has been remarkable. The country’s economic viability was considered, in some quarters,1 in serious doubt at its emergence, but it has managed, despite a quadrupling of the population, to bring about significant improvement in the average living standards. Per capita GNP growth, on average around 2 percent per annum over a long stretch of nearly fifty years, has been the best among countries of the subcontinent. This growth has meant an increase in average income of about 150 percent over 1950–96. But Pakistan, like many other developing countries, has not been able to narrow the gap between itself and rich industrial nations which have grown faster on a per head basis. Also, Pakistan has lost substantial economic ground to the rapidly growing economies of East Asia notably China, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. In 1960, South Korea’s per capita income was only marginally ahead of Pakistan’s. In the short period of one generation, Korea had an income level which on purchasing power parity basis five times that of Pakistan in 1995. On the same basis, Thailand and Malaysia enjoyed a per capita income advantage of 200 to 300 percent over Pakistan (Table 2).

The Islamic concept of war has long been the subject of consideration by prominent Muslim theologians and legal scholars who sought to unambiguously outline its doctrines and interpret the contradictory statements of the Qur'an and the hadiths. The conditions of jihad, the requirements for its announcement, the ethical principles of jihad were paid attention in their writings by the scholars of Muslim theology, Al-Shaybani, Al-Shaf'iyah, Ibn Rushd, Ibn Taymiyah and others. The problem of the ambiguity of the Muslim interpretation of the war lies in the different vectors of his interpretation of Shariah: "harb" in the sense of "war as fighting, lack of peace", "gaswat" - meaning "raid", "military campaign" and "jihad" in meaning, first of all, "effort" and "fight, following the path of God." Gradually, the concept of jihad evolved. Some Islamic thinkers focused solely on the military aspect of jihad, some, such as Ibn Rushd, raising the economic ground for the laws of war, developing a system of techniques that could resolve contentious issues with representatives of other religions, and prove the economic benefits of peace. Some thinkers have interpreted who and under what conditions they are the enemy, how to deal with the vanquished enemy, while some, such as Ibn Taymiyah, interpreted the concept of jihad as a spiritual religious term meaning love and devotion to God.
