Theoretically, human capital has a significant relationship with economic growth. In this regard, the present study was conducted to determine the conditions that have a significant and positive relationship with economic growth. The main objective of the study was to explore the impact of human capital and social capabilities or skills on the economic growth of Pakistan. The study estimates the impact of human capital and social capabilities on economic growth of Pakistan by using time series data from the period of 1980-2018 taken from World Bank. Autoregressive distributed lag framework is used for the valuation of variables relationship and direction of connection of variables. Human capital influenced by education expenditure, social capabilities, gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) and children mortality. This study indicates the role of human capital in growth and development of Pakistan. Results showed that health and education are the two main sectors which need significant attention of government. In addition, more investment on human capital can increase the social capabilities. Final consumption expenditure depends on current economic conditions of a nation. Results showed progressive human capital influence economic growth due to social capabilities. These objectives can be attained through sharing the suitable amount of GDP to these sectors.

Cannabis sativa L. is one of the oldest medicinal plants used by human. The plant has also been used for fiber, oil production and simply as additive for food products. Cannabis plant extract may be used for anti-bacterial activity. Bacteria present naturally on the skin, in the gut and in the slime of live fish although. They are not harmful for the fish. But fish get infected with most micro-organisms due to various causes. The goal of this study was to identify the targeted bacteria from mucus and gut of tilapia fish, to study the antimicrobial resistance of isolated bacteria. Thirty samples of Oreochromis mossambicus were collected from Tounsa Head Barrage, Punjab Pakistan. Mucus was collected through spatula. In the laboratory, fish was dissected; gut was removed with the help of a sterile dissecting box. Bacteria were isolated and grown on nutrient agar. E. coli, Staphylococcus spp, Klebsiella spp, B. cereus were isolated from the gut and the mucus while Enterobacter bugandensis was separated from the gut only of the fish. Anti-microbial activity test was done then measure the zone of inhibition in mm. The cannabis showed higher inhibition in growth of E. coli, and Klebseilla spp., while cannabis plant extract showed less inhibition in growth of Staphylococcus spp, Enterobacter bugandensis and B. cereus. It was concluded from our research that the cannabis may be used to develop antibacterial medicines.

Burns are medical conditions that are the fifth major reason behind non-fatal and adult injuries due to compulsiveness and a lack of risk calculation ability. 1.2 In Pakistan, 2500 children suffer serious burns that necessitate medical attention each year, with 15,000 requiring hospitalizations. The WHO (World Health Organization) has revealed in the reports that child burn mortality is greater (seven times) in countries with low and middle-income backgrounds compared to those with high incomes. Polypeptides of varied molecular weights were discovered in MCPs. These MCPs come from Nile tilapia’s skin with the help of enzyme-aided hydrolysis, with polypeptides with a molecular weight smaller than 5kDa accounting for 99.1 percent of the total. The key molecular conformations within MCPs were casual coil, according to FTIR. The MCPs application was done in the quantity of 50g/ml. The treatment significantly affected scratch closure in an in vitro scratch assay. MCPs improve wound healing in rabbits with a deep partial-thickness scald wound. As a result, it was concluded that the MCPs derived from Nile tilapia‘s skin have promising wound care effects and results.

Background: Globally, Pakistan is the 5th populous country. To increase the use of family planning services by public private business model, Punjab Population Innovation Fund selected “Connect4fp” project implemented by International Rescue Committee organization. The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of mobile health(mHealth) advice on family planning in project area. This project was implemented in 9 Union councils of district Multan, Pakistan. The innovative idea of this project was the use of mobile phones to spread family planning knowledge among community in the form of Interactive Voice Response (IVR) as well as Short Message Service (SMS) (i.e., text messages). Methods: A cross-sectional study targeted 197 men as well as women (mostly married women of reproductive age) receiving mobile messages or recorded robocalls from the project area. The purpose was to assess their family planning knowledge and awareness by using structured Likert scale questionnaire. Secondly the viewpoint about mHealth and its effect on family planning was determined from 40 private providers and 27 Family planning Champions (who were part of the project) by telephonic interviews. Their response was quantified by using Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were calculated of the study’s main variables. The association of family planning knowledge of community members was determined to their contraceptive use by using Chi square. Results:  The results specified that 60% community members included in this study told that their family planning knowledge is increased due to this mHealth program. 36% Private providers while 75% FP Champions were agreed that family planning patients are increased due to this mHealth program. Conclusion: Mobile messages and robocalls about family planning sent in local language positively contributed to increase FP knowledge and awareness in community. This may trigger communication about family planning within couples, as a result increase use of family planning services.
