Agricultural Changes in Pakistan: An In-Depth Analysis of Agricultural Policies Comparing Military and Civil Governments (1971-1989)
Agriculture is the life line of Pakistan. It plays a major role in contribution for the GDP. Pakistan has seen a lot of change in government policies from its advent. Agriculture is the most important economic sector of Pakistan. In this paper it was analyzed the agricultural policies of Zia-ul-Haq and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. This comparison was in order to critically analyze the military and civil governments for their contribution to Pakistan and its future. This paper is a pure Qualitative research on route of exploration. In addition to exploratory, this study also used ethnographic, explanatory, descriptive and historical methods to gain contextually grounded insights into functioning of Pakistan’s agricultural policies. It was found that mostly the rulers of Pakistan emphasized upon extending their rules and for this extension they used every negative means. Instead of being remembered in the history for their high-end results and futuristic approach they controlled the masses by un-achievable promises and vague goals. If the previous rulers would have done something good for the economy of Pakistan after 1971, there would have been quiet a boom in the economy and the economic and energy crisis we are facing now wouldn’t have been our fate.

Money Supply, Inflation and Economic Growth: Issues in Monetary Management in Pakistan
Given the conditions prevailing in 1948 the SBP adopted a monetarist approach so far as achievement of price stability was concerned. One of the objectives of money policy was to develop the various aspects of the financial sector particularly the banking system. In this context monetary policy gave importance to the asset side of the banking system. Thus, upto 1960 the bulk of monetary expansion was on account of credit to the government sector.
Pig Vocalizations Under Selected Husbandry Practices
Acoustical characteristics of vocalizations of sows, piglets, and nursery pigs under selected husbandry practices were analyzed with a digital signal processing system. The duration (D) and major energy-resonance frequency (P) for each call were determined as follows: a) processing of piglets (D = 0.81 s and f* = 3 700 Hz); b) food anticipation of breeding-gest ation sows (2.50 s and 3 000 Hz); c) isolation of piglet (0.34 s and 500, 3 500 Hz); d) startling of nursery pigs (0.29 s and 900 Hz); e) sows in heat (3.07 s and 1 375 Hz); f) farrowing (0.10 s and 3 000 Hz); g) sow nursing (0.15 s and 1 000 Hz); and h) mate greeting of sow (0.13 s and 1 000 Hz). Calls a) to d) are responses to human generated stressors, and calls e) through h) responses to social and physiological states of the pigs. Thus, vocalizations can be segmented for different pig production situations.
