Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOs) in young women is a major hormonal syndrome that not only effects their quality of life (QoL) but overall mental wellbeing is also effected. Worldwide, prevalence rate of PCOs among women is reported to be more than 70% which is increasing day by day. Therefore, the main objective of our study was to examine the effect of PCOs on HR-QoL among young women and to explore the moderating role of proactive coping strategies between PCOs and Health Related Quality of life. For this purpose, 200 outdoor diagnosed patients of PCOs were selected by using purposive sampling techniques, from different hospitals in Islamabad. They were requested to complete three sets of questionnaires, namely, PCOs symptom questionnaire, WHOQoL- BREF, for measuring Health Related Quality of Life and Proactive Coping Inventory. Percentage and Regression analyses was performed to assess effect of PCOs on health related quality of life and the moderating role of proactive coping strategies. Findings revealed that the mean age range of participants as 22.04. Majority of them have done matriculation (60%, n= 121) and were employed (79%, n=159). Following Regression Analysis, results showed that PCOs had a significant negative impact upon HR-QoL (p<.05). Findings also revealed that high score on PCOs symptom checklist negatively affects the Health Related Quality of Life (?= .030, p>.05). Furthermore, proactive coping strategies and reflective coping strategies had insignificant role in PCOs as p<.05 whereas Strategic Planning and Preventive Coping appeared to have a significant moderating role between PCOs and Health Related Quality of Life (p>.05). Overall, The presence of PCOs adversely impacts the HR-QoL of young adults. It predominantly affects psychological and social well-being rather than bodily working.

This investigates the relationship of renewable energy, technology innovation, economic growth, and the interaction between renewable energy and technology innovation with mineral resource demand in resource-rich economies (Russia, The USA, Brazil, Canada, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Venezuela, China, & Iraq). The research employs the dynamic common correlated effect (DCCE) method for the period from 1995 to 2021. The findings show that coefficients for RENR, TINO, TR, and EG are all statistically significant, indicating their significant positive long-term impact on the mineral resource demand. Increases in RENR, TINO, TR, and EG are associated with positive changes in the outcome variable over the long term. However, the coefficient of INTERM has a significant negative influence on the mineral resource demand in the long run. The findings provide valuable insights into the dynamic interrelationships between the model's variables. Policymakers should focus on policies that promote and enhance RENR, TINO, TR, and EG, as they positively influence the outcome variable in the long run. Additionally, policymakers should be cautious of the potential negative effects of changes in INTERM on the mineral resource demand over the long term and carefully assess policies affecting this variable.

Civic sense plays a crucial role in human life. It determines the success and usefulness of a citizen in a society. The civic sense consists of both civic knowledge and civic practices. The students’ civic knowledge or self-perception of civic sense improves their civic practices in the community. This paper describes constructing and validating the Civic Sense Scale (CSS). This scale is prepared to measure students’ civic knowledge and civic practices. Generalized Structural Component Analysis (GSCA) technique is applied in this study. This scale was administered to 1200 Federal Government Educational Institutions students studying in 10th grade in Pakistan. A total of 1196 students out of 1200 students responded to the questionnaire. The data was collected from students through a stratified sampling technique. Both self-perception and civic practices on civic sense consisted of 45 items. There were 23 and 22 items on Civic Sense Scale on self-perception and civic practices, respectively. The reliability indicator Cronbach’s alpha and Rho were observed to be more than 0.7. Likewise, the construct validity, convergent and discriminant validity measures were in acceptable ranges. These show that Civic Sense Scale (CSS) is highly recommended to measure civic sense and its practices in the educational setting. Initially, this study was limited to secondary school students in Federal Government Educational Institutions of Pakistan.

This research studied the importance of brand love, its antecedents and consequences in the context of Smartphone industry; and examined the effects of each dimension of consumer characteristics, brand relationship attributes, and brand experience on brand love. The study also investigated the moderating role of self-esteem between brand love and brand loyalty relationship. The data was collected from the 351 students (users of Smartphone) from four universities of Islamabad, Lahore and Bahawalpur, through simple random sampling. Hypotheses were tested by using regression analysis. The result of the study indicated that each dimension of consumer characteristics, brand relationship attributes and brand experience positively and significantly affected brand love. The findings of this study revealed that brand relationship attributes, brand identity, brand image and brand experience contributed in generating brand love and brand loyalty. The study also found that consumer characterises and brand trust did not create brand love and brand loyalty. This study contributed in literature by examining brand love as a mediator and self-esteem as a moderator. Brand experience was found as the stronger antecedent of brand love. The finding of the study provided several useful managerial implications for strategy formulation at organization level.

Investment in women is the smart thing to do. Pakistan has to meet SDGs till 2030, among which the 5th goal is empowering women and gender equality. We have to find the correlates that affects the empowerment of a woman to empower them. For this purpose, the current study was designed. A large sample of 12339 married women aged between 15 to 49 years was taken from PDHS 2017-18. The status of women empowerment was evaluated by formulating an index (ranged from score 0 to 10) by taking the 8 dimensions of women empowerment namely, woman’s decision making autonomy, digital inclusion, educational status, employment status, ownership of house, self-esteem, consent in choosing husband and her inclusion in financial sectors. The extent of women empowerment is observed at urban and rural areas. For analysis, ordered logistic regression technique was applied by using SPSS-23. It was concluded that as compared to women of urban areas, the women belonged to rural areas were less empowered. The disaggregated analyses showed that the determining factors of women empowerment were affecting in similar way in both urban and rural areas, except that of BISP which was increasing women empowerment in rural areas but not in the urban areas.

The study investigated the factors that are related to happiness by performing secondary data analysis of World Values Survey Pakistan 2018 (n = 1937). Specifically, the role of family, health, autonomy, financial satisfaction, and luck in determining happiness was investigated along with other socio-demographic variables. Data was analyzed using SPSS (v. 25) and ordinal logistic regression was conducted to assess the relationship of key predictors with happiness. It was found, in the multivariate model that the odds of happiness were lower in respondents belonging to rural areas (p < .001), who were illiterate (p < .01), who did not consider family to be very important (p < .05), who reported very poor health (p < .001), and who believed in luck (p < .001). The odds of happiness increased with higher autonomy (p < .01) and higher financial satisfaction (p < .001).

Counterfeiting is a serious problem in Asian countries. Despite its prevalence, prior research has paid limited attention to examine how consumer personality and product-related factors affect counterfeit consumption in these countries. The current research aims to investigate how consumer innovativeness, consumer materialism, and price-quality inference influences purchase intentions of counterfeits (PIC). It also investigates the mediating role of attitude toward counterfeits (ATC) to strengthen the model.The data, collected from a convenience sample of310 consumers, was analysed using structural equation modelling. The results show that while consumer innovativeness and materialism positively effect ATC and PIC, price-quality inference has a negative impact on ATC and PIC. This research contributes to counterfeit consumption research by uncovering the role of both personality- and product-related factors in counterfeit consumption. These findings would be useful for manufacturers and marketers of original brands in devising appropriate strategies to combat purchase of counterfeit brands.

Combating adversities of climate change and promoting clean energy are two important goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The nations of the World have developed various commitments to reduce global warming. The transportation sector share is above twenty percent in total global Greenhouse Gas emissions which is continuously rising over time. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its recent report conducted a scenario analysis and suggested reducing net emissions by 2050. The transport competitiveness index indicates the quality and expansion of transport services. Accordingly, this research study uses the data of 121 countries for which transport competitiveness is documented by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The period of the study is confined to 2008-2018. The sample countries are segregated into four groups on the basis of transport sector emissions. The study uses Panel Quantile Regression (PQR) framework to estimate results and to validate the industrial Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). The findings indicate that transport competitiveness mitigates transport sector emissions in the majority of groups/categories. Inverted U shape industrial EKC has been authenticated in group-1 and U shape industrial EKC for the other three groups. The moderation of transportation competitiveness specified the flattening of industrial EKC across all quantile groups. The empirical findings indicate that moderation results in the sustainability of industrial EKC at higher levels of industrial growth. Among other variables, the governing ability of institutions and planned population expansion are observed in mitigating emissions. The policy options are discussed depending on the results of the groups.
