The main purpose of the paper is to determine the correlation of consumers' demographic factors on the impulse buying behavior with respect to a number of single impulsivity indicators and one collective indicator. The paper consists of theoretical and research aspects. The first part encompasses theoretical insights into the secondary research regarding impulse buying while the practical part presents the methodology and primary research results. With respect to the subject matter, research goals as well as previous findings and primary research results, corresponding hypotheses were set and mainly confirmed. Inter variable correlation and regression analysis has been performed to test the hypothesis. The results showed that demographic factors, such as the disposable income and age, are related to most impulse buying indicators and to the impulsivity collective indicator. However, educational qualification and gender produced marginal association with impulsive buying behavior. The paper also summarizes research limitations as well as the work contribution and future research guidelines.Keywords

This study is focused on the preliminary investigations of soil of southern district Bannu, KPK, Pakistan in the form of geotechnical and mineralogical details, obtained by performing various kinds of tests on soil samples collected from selected spots, where the unusual cracks were observed to have been appeared in the pavements, boundary walls and some other parts of the buildings. Similar cracks were observed in most parts of the world where the soil was found to be expansive which depends on clay mineralogy, binding agents, migration of water beneath the surface and the ability of soil to absorb water. X-Ray diffraction analysis was used to study the minerals present in the soil and its fabric was studied with the help of Scanning Electron Microscopy and those minerals were explored which are not involved in the swelling phenomenon such as kaolinites, chlorites, quartz and poligorskite. Geotechnical investigation was performed by digging the trial pits and collecting soil samples in polythene bags for determining its Atterberg, s limits and studying different geotechnical reports prepared by soil mechanics lab, UET Peshawar. The soil was found to lie within the range termed as low plasticity clay whose swelling potential is moderate to medium.Keywords

This paper reports an investigation of suitability of industrial and agricultural waste (i.e. marble waste and bagasse ash) on the geotechnical properties of medium expansive soils, located across Kohat city, of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. As most part of Pakistan falls in semi-arid zone, the geology and climatic conditions in Kohat produce widespread distribution of swelling clays. Such soils possesses a variety of undesirable characteristics i.e. immensely affect the pavements, boundary walls, slab-on-grade members and other infrastructure. Soil samples were collected, cataloged, subjected to multitude of geotechnical tests and submitted to anti-expansive treatment using prescribed percentages of stabilizers. The investigation includes chemical analysis i.e. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) tests, and evaluation of geotechnical properties such as moisture-density relationships, Atterberg limits, unconfined compressive strength, swell pressure and free swell. When blended with both stabilizer materials, the compatibility and strength characteristics are improved and plasticity is significantly reduced. From the viewpoint of economy, blending of soil using 4-6% bagasse ash and/or 8-10% marble industrial waste is recommended. This paper summarizes the results of identification, characterization and stabilization techniques to eliminate the expansively of swelling soils.Keywords
