Achieving Quality of Life at Work

Transforming Spaces to Improve Well-Being

By: Suhana Mohezar,Noor Ismawati Jaafar,Waqar Akbar

This book provides an understanding and imaging of how a stress-free workplace might be designed and implemented in the context of the ‘new normal.’ Statistics show that more and more people are experiencing an increase in work-related stress, and its impact on individual psychology and well-being as well as organizational performance can be devastating. Globally, the most recent data on work-related illnesses account for 2.4 million deaths. Against this backdrop, and taking stock of how the pandemic is affecting the workplace and employee well-being, this book proposes transformations in work spaces, from implementing effective “greening” features, to more efficient technology-supported spaces. It establishes links between workplace design and creativity, happiness and productivity, confronting related issues such as generation gaps, digital interruptions, collaborative work environments and sustainability, and their respective connections with workspace environment and well-being. The book situates this discussion within a broader discussion on work and quality of life. Furthermore, the book demonstrates how several sustainable development goals might be achieved through transformed work spaces. Through an intersection between organizational psychology, well-being and quality of life studies, sociology, human resources, and ergonomics, this book is a timely examination of work-related stress in relation to work spaces that require rethinking and transformation in the throes, and wake, of the pandemic.

Micronutrient Fertilizer Use in Pakistan

Historical Perspective and 4R Nutrient Stewardship

By: Abdul Rashid,Munir Zia,Waqar Ahmad

Micronutrient research has been an important component of the soil fertility and plant nutrition program in Pakistan since the identification of zinc deficiency in rice in 1969. Since then, considerable progress has been made on diagnosis and management of micronutrient nutrition problems in crops. However, now there is growing R&D evidence that micronutrient malnutrition in humans could be addressed through enriching staple food grains with micronutrients. This book presents the latest R&D information on micronutrient problems in crop plants/cropping systems and their corrective measures. The current status, the constraints, and economic benefits of using micronutrient fertilizers for optimizing crop productivity and soil resource sustainability are discussed along with estimating future potential requirement of micronutrient fertilizers to optimize crop productivity, produce quality, and soil resource sustainability. Wide-scale preventable micronutrient deficiencies in human populations originate from micronutrient-deficient soils over which staple cereals and other food crops are grown. This book summarizes R&D information on fertilizer use-based micronutrient biofortification in staple food grains to address "hidden hunger" in human populations. The book also presents the best management practices by which micronutrient deficiencies could be corrected in crop plants in a farmer-friendly manner. Features Reviews the micronutrients R&D carried out in Pakistan over the past five decades Focuses on soil–plant analysis techniques for effective prognosis and diagnosis of micronutrient disorders Presents spatial variability maps of micronutrient deficiencies in agricultural soils and crops Provides value–cost ratios of using micronutrient fertilizers for major crops Works out current use level of micronutrient fertilizers and their potential future requirements in the country Discusses agronomic biofortification approach for enriching crop-based food with micronutrients to address "hidden hunger" Presents a compelling case for enhanced use of the deficient micronutrient fertilizers to optimize crop productivity, farmer income, and national economy Presents micronutrient fertilizer use recommendations for salient crops and discusses fertilizer use for micronutrients in the context of 4R nutrient stewardship Recommends future R&D needed for optimizing micronutrient nutrition of crops

Technological Internationalism and World Order

By: Waqar H. Zaidi

Between 1920 and 1950, British and US internationalists called for aviation and atomic energy to be taken out of the hands of nation-states, and instead used by international organizations such as the League of Nations and the United Nations. An international air force was to enforce collective security and internationalized civil aviation was to bind the world together through trade and communication. The bomber and the atomic bomb, now associated with death and devastation, were to be instruments of world peace. Drawing on rich archival research and focusing on public and private discourse relating to the control of aviation and atomic energy, Waqar H. Zaidi highlights neglected technological and militaristic strands in twentieth-century liberal internationalism, and transforms our understanding of the place of science and technology in twentieth-century international relations.

The Land of Wakapuku—Land of the True

In the name of Allah the Beneficent and the Merciful - Love for All Hatred for None

By: Waqar Pirzada

The city of Kabul in particular and the land of Afghanistan never rested in peace after the incident of 14th of July, 1903, when an eminent Afghan scholar, a divine and a sage was mercilessly and brutally stoned to death by religious fanatics. Amidst prophecies the people and rulers of Kabul, in the aftermath failed to create peace in the land or save themselves from their brutal fate. King Amanullah Khan Son of Amir Habibullah Khan became the ruler and took control of the Afghan army and treasury during the early 20th century. He imprisoned those relatives who claimed to the Kingship, and gained the allegiance of most of the tribal leaders. During the same time Russia was undergoing its Communist Revolution. Amanullah Khan used this as an opportunity to gain Afghanistan's independence. He led a surprise attack against the British forces in India on 13th of May, 1919 beginning The-Third-Anglo-Afghan-War. In 1929 Ammanullah Khan was ousted by an uprising and his brother Nadir Khan took over the control. King Nader Khan was assassinated in 1933 and his 19 year old son, Zahir Shah, became the king and there followed a brief period of peace and recognition for Afghanistan. However, In July, 1973, Zahir Shah was ousted in a bloodless coup and Mohammad Daoud Khan became the new President. In December 24, 1979 Russians invaded Afghanistan and the Red Army occupied the capital. This conflict between the Soviet-allied government and the Mujahedeen lasted more than a decade. In 1992 the city’s control was taken over by local militias after the collapse of Dr. Najibullah's pro-communist government. The Afghan civil war began after these local militias became divided among themselves. As a result thousands of people were either killed or immigrated to neighboring countries. By 1993 electricity and water in the city was completely destroyed and people lived in dark nights for several years. The history of Kabul turned to an even darker period when the Taliban took control of Kabul in September of 1996. They publicly hanged the ex-President Dr. Najibullah and his brother at the Presidential Palace square. They shut down the girls’ schools and forbid women from working outside the home. In October of 2001, after the 9/11 attack in New York and Pentagon, the United States invaded Afghanistan. The NATO forces now plan (2014) to fully or partially leave Afghanistan. Currently the present government of Afghanistan led by President Hamid Karzai is striving for future peace in Afghanistan and the region. Will the land of Kabul witness lasting peace?
