The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers found that lockdowns led to significant short-term reductions in nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter pollution globally as human activity declined. However, the impacts on air quality were temporary and pollution levels rebounded once lockdowns began to be lifted and activity increased again.

Openness in Education, Systems Thinking & Educational Practice Ed Media June ...Anita Zijdemans Boudreau
Openness in education can be illustrated as expressions of iterative socio-technological innovations that reduce barriers and create multiple opportunities for practice. Through the convergence of collective intelligence and ICTs, particularly Internet-based applications, openness has been reincarnated as the “new paradigm of social production in the global knowledge economy” (Peters, 2008, p. 10). The ensuing open education renaissance—proliferated through open source, open access, open content, and MOOCs—has disrupted the insular worldview of the traditional academy and reignited debate about the purpose and future of formal education. This paper suggests that thinking of openness as a system, to examine both the whole and the sum of its parts, can provide a means for adapting and aligning educational practices to the significant shifts occurring outside of institutionalized settings. A literature review and evaluative tool are presented.

Top three export commdities of Pakistantayyabaways
The top three export commodities of Pakistan are rice, textiles, and leather goods. Rice is the largest agricultural crop and export, with basmati and non-basmati rice exports totaling over $1 billion during July 2012-February 2013. Textile exports, particularly cotton yarn, cotton cloth, and knitwear, grew 7.09% in the first three quarters of the 2012-2013 fiscal year compared to the same period the previous year. Pakistan is one of the world's top rice exporters and aims to increase exports to $3 billion annually with government support for marketing and training initiatives.
The document lists Pakistan's top exports in 2013, with cotton being the highest at $2.6 billion, followed by cotton yarn at $2.2 billion and rice at $1.9 billion. Other major exports included garments at $1.7 billion, bed wear at $1.7 billion, and jewelry at $1.1 billion. The document provides the export values for Pakistan's top commodities in 2013.

This document summarizes a presentation on import and export analysis of Pakistan. It discusses that every country tries to produce goods they have a comparative advantage in and trade for other goods. It then outlines Pakistan's major imports like machinery, petroleum, and chemicals, which account for 73% of total imports. The major sources of Pakistan's imports are also discussed, showing declines from the US after 2007-2008 while other countries fluctuate. The conclusion states that Pakistan suffers from a large trade deficit due to low export demand and domestic instability, and imports more than it exports primarily consisting of raw materials over manufactured goods.
Import & Export of Pakistan during 04-08Salma Bashir
The document provides an overview of Pakistan's imports and exports. It discusses that textiles and garments make up over 80% of Pakistan's exports, with major exports including cotton apparel, cloth, and yarns. Major imports include civilian aircraft, generators, computer accessories, and tanks/artillery. It also outlines several government programs to help finance exports, including export guarantee services, financing schemes for manufacturers, and long-term financing for export-oriented projects.
Pakistan's major exports include raw cotton, textiles, rice, leather products, carpets, surgical instruments, and sports goods. Exports were targeted to increase by 12.9% but food exports declined by 3.5% due to lower rice and fruit production from adverse weather. Textile exports grew slightly as exports of items like knitwear and readymade garments increased, while raw cotton and cotton cloth declined. The largest export markets are the US, UK, and Germany, though exports are highly concentrated in few countries and commodities. Issues to address include increasing value-added, quality, and diversifying exports.
