Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the regime shift behavior and interconnectedness between stock market volatility and exchange rate in a pre and post COVID context. Design/Methodology/Approach: For this purpose Pakistan India and China has been taken as emerging economies and USA UK and Japan as developed economies. Daily data of exchange rates and stock market indices have been used from Jan,1 2011 to Apr 30, 2021. Markov regime switching model, GARCH model and Granger causality test has been used. Findings: The outcomes of this study empirically confirmed that the Markov regime switching model is flexible model because it captures regime shifts in the mean and variance equation of all sample economies. Moreover, the sum of GARCH (1,1) indicates that volatility shocks are persistent except India. Study also concluded that exchange rate volatility has significant positive impact on stock market of Pakistan, USA and Japan in a pre COVID context. Implications/Originality/Value: A post COVID context has significant impact on the stock market of India, U.S.A. and U.K. Granger causality results indicates unidirectional relationship for Pakistan, China and USA. Whereas for Japan bi-directional relationship is found but for India and UK no directional causality exist.

Purpose: Despite of implementation of many laws and legislation in Pakistan, domestic violence is still present and increasing day by day. The aim of the study is to point out what are the causes and effects of Domestic Violence (DV) against women in Pakistan. The Pakistani scenario has been described and theoretical bases are presented. Methodology: Research follows the qualitative research method as it is descriptive and analytical in nature. To make the research important, investigative, and analytical, material has also been collected through random survey. Opinions have been collected from women intellectuals, doctors, psychologists and lawyers of the country through a questionnaire. Findings: Domestic violence is not an appropriate subject for assessment, interventions, or policy reforms in Pakistan because it usually occurs within the family. According to surveys, between 35% and 70% of intimate relationship violence occurs in Pakistan. Major factors contributing to domestic violence in Pakistan include women's low levels of education and empowerment, misconceptions about Islamic beliefs, traditional customs, poverty, the dowry system, having a girl child, infertility, and drug and alcohol usage. Due to these reasons women are physically, verbally and emotionally, psychologically, sexually abused. Slapping beating, kicking against women cause physical problem. Implications: Research proves that the risk of attempting suicide is four times more in the victim of domestic violence and they are likely to develop stress, depression, and drug dependency. Study reveals that a large number of women suffer with domestic violence in Pakistan and the causes identified are preventable. Further research is also needed in this regard.

Purpose: This paper aims to shed light on the issue's prospects, as ethics in Islamic banking may become another distinguishing factor when compared to its conventional counterpart. This comparative research will compare co-operative banks that emphasize ethical operations to Islamic banking in Pakistan. Although ethics in other countries' co-operative banks has become a new market segment and succeeded because it drew many new customers who wanted to engage in a morally sound investment, Islamic banks continue to concentrate only on sharia. Design/Methodology/Approach: The qualitative method is used in this study by analyzing statutes, particularly Islamic jurisprudences, local and international protocols, conventions, and treaties Findings: In this work, it shows that ethics has the potential to make Islamic banking a full-fledged financial system if it is used as one of Islam's three pillars. Implications/Originality/Value: In the Islamic economy, Islamic banking is unquestionably at the forefront. Along with Faith (Aqidah) and Islamic Legal Jurisprudence (Sharia), Ethics (Akhlak), as in corporate social responsibility, is a core part of Islam that doesn't get as much attention as it should. An Islamic bank should primarily concentrate on sharia despite balancing those three pillars. In practice, a business with a high ethical standard must be profitable, legal, honest, and ethical while also considering long-term sustainability.

Purpose: In efforts to realize the dividend of demographic transition, elimination of child labor has become an utmost challenge for the relevant international bodies. Knowing the importance of this issue, children are now the center of the vision of sustainable development as SDG 8.7 and 16.2 are directly related to children and their lives. In this context, the purpose of the current study is to analyze the linkages between demographic variables (such as working-age population, labor force participation rate, labor force growth rate, life expectancy, and dependency ratio and population growth) and child labor along with some other macroeconomic determinants of child labor. Design/Methodology/Approach: A panel of 45 developing countries covering the period 2000 – 2019 is used for empirical analysis. Dynamic panel GMM technique is utilized for empirical results. Findings: The results show that increase in the working-age population, GDP per capita, age dependency old and young, and health expenditures increase the child labor but increase in life expectancy and educational expenditures reduce the child labor in developing countries. Population growth rate reduces child labor in overall developing countries and high-income developing economies but increases child labor in low income developing countries. The increase in labor force growth rate increases child labor in a panel of developing economies and low-income developing economies but reduces child labor in high-income developing economies. Implications/Originality/Value: Public expenditures in health and education along with increasing the female labor force participation rate is recommended to reduce the child labor in developing countries.

Purpose: The core objective of this study was to analyze the situation of Pakistani females' sports participation and examines which different Socio-Cultural, Interest and Motivational barriers currently play negative role towards their sports participation and how these barriers can be reduced by taking up the steps under the feministic approach in sports which is based on the social cognitive theory of Bandura. Methodology/Evidence Acquisition: In order to get deep insight, the researcher employed mix-method research methodology which was based on both qualitative and quantitative research design. Qualitative data of 8-HODs and quantitative data of 592-female students from the 8 selected public colleges and universities in Southern Punjab-Pakistan was collected through close-ended and open ended questionnaires with convenient sampling technique. For quantitative data analysis, SPSS v.20 and for qualitative data analysis MS Excel v.10 were used as statistical tools. Conclusionsː Regarding socio-cultural factors (Family Support, Religious & Cultural Limitations), findings of this study show that the relationships of family support, interest and motivation with their sports participation is significant and positive but the religious & cultural limitations has insignificant and negative impact on female sports participation. Although these socio-cultural factors are not much supportive in the colleges as compare to the universities, but overall, their parents’ negative attitude, expectations for academic performance and unawareness regarding sports benefits, females feel uncomfortable, less passion and interest in sports participation. Further, it was also found, in both universities and colleges, that Islamic dress code, male permission, no proper changing rooms, cultural conflicts, mix-gender sports, vulgarity, less freedom of solely movement, discouragement by society/culture are the major dimensions of religious and cultural limitations towards sports participation. Along with new dimensions and locality, the current study was a first attempt to provide the practitioners, policy makers and researchers to understand the issues of cultural and religious, interest and motivation and family support towards female sports participation in Pakistan.

The study has been conducted in the fast food industry (local burger joints) available in Karachi, Pakistan. This research study is quantitative in nature. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research study is quantitative in nature. It is an explanatory research under which deductive hypotheses testing has been used. The research instrument used is questionnaire and data has been analyzed through Correlation and Regression Analysis, using SPSS software Findings: The findings of this research study suggest that there is a significant and positive relationship between Social Media Reviews (independent variable) and Brand Trust and Brand Loyalty (dependent variables). The findings also suggest that if consumers are more inclined towards the online reviews given by other consumers, their trust and loyalty towards the specific brand in question will tend to increase. Implications/Originality/Value: This research paper adds to the existing body of knowledge on the role of Social Media Reviews given by the consumers on different social media platforms. This research paper will add value by deciphering and explaining the relationship that exists between social media reviews and brand relationship outcomes like Brand Trust and Brand Loyalty
