Activated carbons were prepared by carbonization and activation of Coula eludies seed shells. This was done using ZnCl2 as the activating chemical and the activation was done using sample to activating chemical ratios of 1: 10 and 1:20 (g/v). The activated carbon obtained were characterized by determining the percentage yield, moisture content, ash content and percentage fixed carbon. The adsorption of methylene blue by the activated carbon was done using 100mg to 500mg of the activated carbon. The results revealed that the yield, moisture content, ash content and percentage fixed carbon of 1:10 impregnated activated carbon were 41.94%, 11.20%, 7.00% and 92.00% respectively while that of the 1:20 impregnated activated carbon were 38.76%, 18.56%, 5.50% and 96.50% respectively. These results show that the yield and the ash content of 1:10 impregnated activated carbon is higher than that of 1:20 impregnated activated carbon. While 1:20 impregnated activated carbon has higher moisture content and percentage fixed carbon. The adsorption study also revealed that 1:20 impregnated activated carbon had greater adsorption capacity. However adsorption efficient was increased with increase in adsorbent dosage.

Endangering the environment, depletion of natural resources Valvdh of basic resources), water, soil, air) to treat a condition that it should search way. Prevention, treatment considered low cost. In other areas, such as social environment, education is considered as a way to prevent disease. Encapsulation is measured them. Dez most cases, the objectives of the two documents overlap with each other in order to protect the environment, but in some cases together with a small Akhlafaty.

Senior team members reconcile conflicting demands and facilitate, encourage, motivate the managers to achieve organizational goals. This study investigated the role of the senior team shared vision, middle-level manager’s exploration and exploitation activities and behavior of transformational leadership as a moderator in resolving conflicting interests among senior team members and middle-level managers for achieving managerial ambidexterity. Pearson’s Correlation and Hierarichal Regression have been employed to find the results. Findings indicate that a senior team shared vision are related with manager’s ability to combine the activities of exploration and exploitation while the role of transformational leadership behavior does not increase the effectiveness of senior team shared vision.

The concept of paper begin with a review of the salient theory and available body of literature of SCM in terms of responsibility, manufacturing practices, competitive advantages, SCM practices and overall performance of company.

Various statistical tools are used for the analysis of collected data. Their reliability and content are checked using reliability analysis. The discussion of findings and their implications, and concluded with some suggestions for future research.

To test the model of stakeholder influence capacity mediator, with the reference to the textile sector, relating the corporate social responsibility independent variable with non- financial performance dependent variable. The sampling approach used was non-probability type convenience sampling. The data was collected from the registered textile mills in APTMA (All Pakistan Textile Mills Association) from Faisalabad region. The questionnaires were filled by the managers working in different divisions of textile mills including Sitara textile mill, AMTEX, Interloop, Masood textile mills, Itehad textile mill, Sarfraz textile mill, Five Star textile mill, Dawood Export (Pvt) Ltd, Nishat textile mill, National textile mill (Pvt) ltd. The questionnaire was based on five point Likert scale. An instrument was supported for internal consistency and reliability. The results concluded that there are significant and positive relationships between corporate social responsibility and stakeholder influence capacity directly, corporate social responsibility and non-financial performance and relationship between corporate social responsibility and non-financial performance with the mediating variable stakeholder influence capacity. Though initially, CSR dimensions are distinguished into philanthropic, economical, ethical, social and environmental. NFP can be measured with respect to customers, employees and suppliers. Stakeholder influence capacity can be evaluated with respect to social and environmental. The future research should apply the proposed model in this study and the results to other service sectors and geographic locations in order to develop its generalizability. In order to manage swift change and worldwide competition in business environments companies should center on the adopting strategies which strategy can affect the stakeholder influence capacity in array to improve the non-financial performance that marks the future indication of survival of the firm. The previous researches did not appraise the relationship of corporate social responsibility and non-financial performance with the mediating variable stakeholder influence capacity of the firms. The present study also demonstrates the different dimensions of the CSR and stakeholder influence capacity with the non-financial performance of the firms.
