The crucial emphasis of economic policies is to enhance socio-c wellbeing of the people in an economy. If the society is economically polarized it hampers the impact of economic policies. The crucial economic problem about which fewer economists gutsy to talk is income inequality in the world because it is the answer to a pinching question that who will benefits from the economic growth in an economy. Despite the generation of trillions of dollars each year in the world, a huge population is deprived of basic needs such as food, sanitation, security, health and education etc. When it comes to the effect of inflation on masses the situation further aggravates. Escalated price levels deprive more people from essential goods and lead towards increasing income inequality. This study has tried to estimate the impact of inflation on income distribution in Pakistan. The data was collected from Pakistan Economic Survey and Handbook of Statistics by SBP for a period of 1990 to 2022. The present study has applied Auto Regressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) to estimate the linkage among price levels and income inequality in Pakistan. The findings of the study have revealed both positive and negative linkage among constituents of the CPI and the income inequality. The novelty of this study is on two grounds. Firstly, the study has dissolved Consumer Price Index (CPI) into its constituents, and their Impact on income inequality has been examined, as far as finest information available to us this has never been investigated in Pakistan before. Secondly, the study has applied two proxies the GINI coefficient and Mean Log Deviation (MLD) to estimate income inequality. Thirdly, we have applied the data splicing method[1] to make one base year of CPI from various base years that has been changed over the past years in Pakistan. The study offers some useful policy implications for policy formulation in Pakistan.

In today's world, environmental sustainability and sustainable development are critical issues that are emphasized by the urgent need for coherent and practical solutions to the ecological effects of economic activity. Hence, this study examines how Pakistan's carbon emissions are affected by green growth, foreign direct investment, human capital, and financial development between 2004 and 2022. Based on the theory of financial development and green finance, this research utilizes a sound theoretical framework, the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, which helps to explain this problem’s short-run and long-run relation. The research conclusions reveal that green growth positively correlates with environmental sustainability by improving green activities and investing in better technology to minimize carbon emissions. At the same time, the study demonstrates that human capital remains a key driver of environmental success. This implies that intensified workforces require higher education and training to adopt and sustain sustainable green practices. On the other hand, FDI has been positive but has a insignificant impact on Pakistan's environment. This evidence highlights legislators' need to associate financial development with economic policy to ensure ecology preservation and continuing economic stability. Pakistan can gain environmental and financial benefits from its sustainable human capital development and integrated investment promotion policies.

Cloud technology provides computing services over the internet, enabling entrepreneurs to access tools and services previously only available to large organizations, enhancing efficiency, business scaling, and competitiveness. With a step-by-step practical performance, the study builds real-time clouds using several lab scenarios. The research offers recommendations for cloud computing networks' performance, security, and awareness in this way. The study investigates and improves cloud computing networks in IoT and other network architectures using cheminformatics, a combination of chemistry, computer, and mathematics. It computes topological invariants, such as K-banhatti sombor (KBSO) invariants (KBSO), Dharwad Invariants, K-banhatti Redefined Zagreb (KBRZ), their different forms, and Quadratic-contra harmonic invariants (QCI), to explore and enhance their characteristics like scalability, efficiency, higher throughput, reduced latency, and best-fit topology. The main objective is to develop formulas to check the topology, and performance of certain cloud networks without experiments and produce mathematical modeling results with graphical results. It also gives the optimized ranges of the network with one optimized value. After these evaluations, the network graph also checks for irregularities if exist with the help of the Irregularity Sombor (ISO) index. The study also produced real-time scenario-based clouds and performance-based use. The results will help researchers construct and improve these networks with different physical characteristics.

This study explores the effects of Tourism (TOU), Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Trade Openness (TOP) upon carbon di oxide emissions (CO2). The article has taken top seven tourist destinations in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) through 2000-2020. The approaches used to analyze results are autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and secondly the Granger causality technique. The data is panel data; hence we can also say it is panel ARDL. The outcomes exhibited an interesting relationship between the variables under study. Where, GDP, TOP and TOU were significantly and positively correlated with CO2. Whereas FDI showed huge and negative correlation with CO2. The results of the study showed that in the long run there is a significant association between FDI, TOP and TOU and carbon emissions. The study findings are thoroughly examined, accompanied by analysis of policy implications and recommendations for future research.
本研究探讨了旅游业（TOU）、国内生产总值（GDP）、外国直接投资（FDI）和贸易开放度（TOP）对碳二氧化物（CO2）排放的影响。文章选取了东盟（东南亚国家联盟）排名前七位的旅游目的地，时间跨度为 2000-2020 年。分析结果所使用的方法是自回归分布滞后（ARDL）和格兰杰因果关系技术。数据是面板数据，因此我们也可以说它是面板 ARDL。研究结果表明，所研究的变量之间存在着有趣的关系。其中，GDP、TOP 和 TOU 与 CO2 呈显著正相关。而外国直接投资与二氧化碳呈负相关。研究结果表明，从长期来看，外国直接投资、总产值和 TOU 与碳排放之间存在着显著的关联。对研究结果进行了深入探讨，并分析了政策影响和对未来研究的建议。

The study delves into the factors influencing green purchasing behaviour in Pakistan's growing market. The study was conceptually centred on the diffusion of innovation and the theory of planned behaviour models. The relevance of the interrelationships between the items measuring the components of the research was determined using the Process Hayes model 4. The findings demonstrate that attitude has a substantial positive interconnection with relative advantage, compatibility, and observability; however, complexity has a strong negative correlation. According to the data, customers, particularly the younger generation, are more likely to choose green items, with environmental effects being a critical issue. However, the complex nature of green goods has little effect on their attitude. Finally, the findings of this study add to the current body of knowledge on green purchasing behaviour while providing actionable recommendations for promoting sustainable consumption habits in Pakistan.

According to the literature on perceived overqualification (POQ), previous researchers overlooked its predictors, mediating mechanism, and particularly the direct impact of POQ on proactive behavior. Integrating person-environment fit theory, this research aims to examine the POQ’s predictor (boredom proneness and perceived organizational politics) mediating mechanism and its effect on proactive behavior. Using a cross-sectional research design 189 responses were collected from diverse non-manufacturing sectors and evaluated utilizing partial least square structural equation modeling. The results depict that perceived organizational politics and boredom proneness significantly predict POQ. Similarly, our findings indicate that the direct association of POQ with proactive behavior was negative. Further, POQ mediates the relationship between predictors and outcomes. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and forthcoming recommendations of our research are discussed.

This study explores the impact of green energy strategies on natural resource sustainability in Pakistan, utilizing data from 1999 to 2022 and applying the ARDL estimation technique. The primary focus is on understanding how renewable energy consumption and production influence natural resource rents. Empirical results indicate a complex relationship: renewable energy consumption is negatively correlated with natural resource rents, suggesting that increased consumption of renewable energy may reduce the exploitation of natural resources. Conversely, renewable energy production shows a positive correlation with natural resource rents, implying that boosting renewable energy production can enhance the value derived from natural resources. These findings underscore the dual role of renewable energy in promoting sustainability. On the consumption side, a shift towards renewables can alleviate pressure on natural resources, fostering long-term ecological balance. On the production side, investing in renewable energy infrastructure appears to complement the efficient use of natural resources, potentially increasing economic rents. Policymakers should encourage renewable energy consumption through incentives and subsidies, reducing dependence on non-renewable resources and mitigating environmental degradation.

The study of Human Resource Management (HRM) in the context of Islamic philosophy has gained traction especially in the last two decades. This paper aims to assess the HRM purpose, processes and practices in the light of Islamic doctrine to eventually present an Islamic model of HRM that is hinged upon Islamic principles and values. The postulated model offers a unique perspective by incorporating both contemporary and spiritual dimensions to HRM framework in order to provide a holistic outlook to the study of Islamic Human Resource Management (IHRM). The proposed model named The “AF Islamic HRM Model” is driven by two key Islamic concepts of Adl (justice) and Falah (wellbeing or success), where Adl represents an essential underlying element for all HRM processes as per the proposed IHRM model and the conception of Falah implies an ultimate reward or success in this world as well as in the world hereafter, as perceived from the Islamic belief system. The paper entails a qualitative research approach by evaluating the existing HRM models as well as analyzing the already available literature regarding Islamic perspective to the HRM theory to ultimately posit a model which contributes value to the existing knowledge base of Islamic HRM. There is not much research regarding the application of Islamic ideology to various facets of HRM and this study endeavors to address this research gap by proposing an IHRM model which consolidates both the contemporary HRM philosophy as well as the Islamic tenets and guidelines, encompassing diverse aspects of both religion and worldly life by providing insights about the conventional HRM body of knowledge with a touch of ethics and spirituality.

Electricity use in the urban areas is more than in the rural areas because the ratio of the population is higher in the urban areas as compared to rural areas. Energy consumption increasing day by day worldwide, so there is a need to give the best plan for the best energy resource consumption to the producers. On the other side, various other energy types are also becoming most useable in the world due to many factors like an increase in usage due to population, line losses, loss of energy due to low-quality material, and especially usage ratio increases as compared to the production of energy. This helps to save energy from misuse and to utilize the energy properly. There are various approaches applied to forecast energy consumption but, in this study, we proposed the system using LSTM, ARIMA, and Prophet model to give the solution for smart meter dataset energy consumption forecasting in a good way. After applying this approach, we conclude that the weather variables are the major factors in energy consumption such that the temperature effect is larger than other variables. The proposed system proves its performance by forecasting the dataset using these algorithms and calculate the high-grade visual graphs.

Energy consumption increasing day by day worldwide, so there is a need to give the best plan for the best energy resource consumption to the producers. On the other side, various other energy types are also becoming most useable in the world due to many factors like an increase in usage due to population, line losses, loss of energy due to low-quality material, and especially usage ratio increases as compared to the production of energy. This helps to save energy from misuse and to utilize the energy properly. There are various approaches applied to forecast energy consumption but, in this study, we proposed the system using LSTM, ARIMA, and Prophet model to give the solution for smart meter dataset energy consumption forecasting in a good way. After applying this approach, we conclude that the weather variables are the major factors in energy consumption such that the temperature effect is larger than other variables. The proposed system proves its performance by forecasting the dataset using these algorithms and calculate the high-grade visual graphs.
