P akistan is an agricultural country, having a parched atmosphere in nearly two-thirds of its territories. Climatic fluctuation has an immediate and unfavorable effect on the sustenance and improvement, particularly in dry ranges. Among climatic elements, precipitation has a tremendous impact on the production of crops (Khuram and Ghulam, 2011). Agriculture in Pakistan relies on water obtained from precipitation and snowmelt. Pakistan confronts the issues of floods, drier seasons, and inadequate water for crop production. Irrigation water availability predominantly relies on climatic variable, for example, air temperature, sunlight-based radiation, relative moisture, wind speed and agronomic components like phases of the crop (Ghazala and Mahmood, 2009).In Pakistan, maize stands third most essential cereal crop after wheat and rice respectively. It is not just consumed as nourishment grain, but also utilized as a forage crop for livestock. Being a commercial/ industrial crop, it is also an ingridient for several items that are produced from grains. Maize grain holds about 1.7% ash, 3.0% sugar, 5.8% fiber, 4.8% oil, 10% protein and 72% starch (Chaudhary, 1993). The annual grain crop production in Pakistan amounts to Abstract | Gilgit-Baltistan's economy is mostly based on subsistence crops production. The ecosystem of mountain is fragile and tends to be relatively low productive due to number of factors. Therefore, the present study was aimed to know the opportunities of productivity due to improving the technical efficiency of maize crop, and to determine the factors which influence maize production in high mountains of Pakistan. For this purpose, initially two villages one from District Nagar and other from District Hunza were selected with an aggregate sample of 112 maize crop growers. Both primary and secondary data were collected from different sources. To measure technical efficiency, the stochastic frontier production function along with technical efficiency model was employed. Data was analyzed through statistical software Frontier 4.1, because of its appropriateness in efficiency related assessments. Result shows that the factors of low yields of different peasants were due to inefficiency. The overall average technical efficiency of maize farmers was estimated 73.6%. It was inferred that the productivity can be enhanced by reducing the inefficiency from the ecological factors, peasants' personal characteristics and farming conditions.

Bangladesh is the second largest exporter of readymade garment (RMG) products in the world after China. Above 80% of its total export earning is contributed by the RMG sector which has a huge impact on the economy of the country. At present this RMG sector is facing many threats and challenges to hold its flourishing position because of the entrance of new competitors both in the national and international market. To overcome these challenges continuous improvement is required to a great extent. This paper experiments execution of 5S approach to a production scenario in a garments industry. 5S method should be improved to ensure ergonomics in the workplace, to reduce defects and increase cleaning and productivity growth. It is one of the fundamental tools to intensify continuous improvement process in organizations and represents a transformation in 5 steps of a job, which is characterized by maximum efficiency at the micro level and minimum loss. Any company applying the 5S methodology will have reduction of different types of waste, efficient workflow due to lesser machine breakdowns, lower defect rates, reduced inventory and effective problem visualization, visible and swift results in an efficient way.

The use of textiles in the medical sector is increasing day by day. An important and emerging part of the textile industry is medical, hygiene and health care sector. Textiles are a compelling solution for implantable medical devices, primarily due to the versatility they offer in product design. Textiles are in 2D and 3D implantable forms, with configurations limited only by the imagination. The number of applications is enormous and diverse, ranging from a single thread suture to the complex composite structures for bone replacement and from the simple cleaning wipe to advanced barrier fabrics used in Operation Theater. The main object of this work is to study the types of implantable textiles used in the medical sector such as surgical suture, artificial skin, artificial ligament, and artificial cartilage. In this study, we have included different types of raw materials used and the manufacturing process of these implantable medical textiles.

Textile industry is a significant source of revenue in Bangladesh. More effort is being put into producing high-quality woven fabrics. The generation of fiber balls is a significant challenge in the fabrication of woven fabrics. It causes coloring issues in woven fabrics as well as fabric rejection. The method of fiber ball generation during weaving has been described in this article. The advancements in the weaving process that are required to prevent ball formation and to weave virtually flawless cloth have also been explored.
