Published: January 2025

Purpose: The decision to pursue a profession in accounting and one's future performance in that sector can be significantly influenced by the objectives and attitudes of students. Students can increase their chances of success by focusing on their education and training when they have a clear goal for their accounting career, such as a preferred profession or industry. Employers might be won over by a candidate with a strong work ethic, a feeling of responsibility, and timeliness. This should help the students improve their perception of the accounting profession even further. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine students' learning, intentions, and attitudes toward accounting career.
Method: This study tested its research model using an online survey and a quantitative methodology. 141 university students in Oman provided the survey sample data. Employing the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) version 4.0 software, data analysis and hypothesis testing were conducted.
Results: The result showed that the learning environment has a significant relationship with choosing an accounting career. Current knowledge seeking intention also have a substantial relationship with choosing an accounting career. However, the attitude of students does not affect choosing an accounting career.
Originality / relevance:  This study adds to the corpus of research by analyzing students' intentions and attitudes for a career in accounting. Accounting educators may use these findings to modify the current curriculum to better meet students' culturally compatible perspective on the accounting field.

Authors: Muhammad Rifat Michel Thalib  , Muhammad Sauqi Nur
Published: January 2025

This research examines the Peranakan Arabic dialect in Condet, East Jakarta, as a representation of cultural acculturation between Hadrami Arab society and local Indonesian culture. This dialect is the result of a unique blend of standard Arabic with elements of Indonesian and Javanese, reflecting a long history of migration and cultural interaction. This research aims to analyze linguistic characteristics, social roles, and challenges faced in maintaining this dialect. The research method used is descriptive-analytical with a qualitative approach. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with native speakers, participant observation, and literature review. The research results show that this dialect has distinctive characteristics in the form of loan-word vocabulary, phonological changes, and intonation patterns that are influenced by the local language. This dialect not only functions as a means of communication, but also as a symbol of Peranakan Arab identity and solidarity in Condet. However, globalization and shifts in language use among the younger generation pose a threat to the sustainability of this dialect. Therefore, preservation efforts are needed through documentation and cultural education. This research contributes to linguistic studies, especially Arabic dialects in Indonesia, and is the basis for preserving the Peranakan Arab cultural heritage as part of Indonesia's cultural richness.
Exploring Psychological Empowerment and Social Identification as Parallel Mediators Between Well-Being Oriented HRM Practices and Employee Performance
Authors: Ahmad Usman  , Muhammad Zeeshan Hanif  , Sheraz Ahmed
Published: January 2025

This study explores the mediating roles of psychological empowerment and social identification in the relationship between well-being oriented human resource management (WBHRM) practices and employee performance within the banking sector. Based on positive psychology, self-determination theory, and social identity theory, this study posits that well-being-oriented HRM practices enhance employee performance by fostering both individual agency and a collective sense of belonging. By taking reliable and validated measures across 450 employees in multiple locations of banks in Pakistan, data were collected to test the hypotheses regarding well-being-oriented HRM practices and psychological empowerment, social identification, and employee performance as mediators. The PROCESS macro was used to analyze parallel mediation. Results obtained from the parallel mediation reveal that psychological empowerment and social identification significantly mediate HRM practices and employee performance, acting as complementary mechanisms. Psychological empowerment represents how employees view their role as independent and controlled, whereas social identification involves their attachment to the organization's goals and feeling part of it. In conclusion, the two results suggest that there is an interrelated importance in cultivating both psychological and social processes in achieving the performance-based potential of well-being-oriented HRM practices. These results have direct implications for HR practitioners in the banking industry, stressing that strategies that foster the empowerment of employees and organizational identity need to be developed. The paper contributes to the literature on sustainable HRM by providing empirical evidence based on a service-sector context within a developing economy that may offer ways to promote employee well-being and improve organizational performance.

Published: January 2025

This research investigates the effect of workplace bullying on organizational pride and productivity in the higher education sector in Pakistan. The aim of this paper is to uncover the significant moderating effects of workplace bullying on employees’ morale and productivity among the Pakistani employees in the higher education institution of Punjab. Based on a sample of 450 workers, the study uses standardized questionnaires to assess the relationship between bullying behaviors; professional undermining; social exclusion; and overwork on one hand and the level of psychological/physiological stress on the other, with the support of a five point Likert scale. The study reveals a clear and strong positive correlation between workplace bullying and stress which indeed influences negative behavior among employees such as job satisfaction and commitment and productivity levels. Lastly, structural equation modeling (SEM) confirms or supports the proposed relationships, with a focus on an organizational, social and personal perspective to bullying. In the closing, the researcher emphasizes the urgency for organizations to establish preventive measures against Workplace bullying, besides effectively managing stress in an effort to enrich Organizational health and productivity.
Digital and Social Determinants of Consumer Decision Making in OTC Pharmaceuticals
Authors: Hammad Zafar  , Fakhre Alam Siddiqui  , Zarmina Haroon
Published: January 2025

This paper outlines various factors that determine consumer choice of over-the-counter drugs, focused mainly on digital marketing and social group influence. The research work is based on quantifying the relationship between different factors and consumer decision processes. These results also suggest a fair relationship between digital marketing and consumer buying behaviour, showing that digital platforms are increasingly used as information sources for OTC medicines. On the other side, reference groups—like advice from pharmacists, doctors, family, and friends—are more important for purchase choices than online marketing, highlighting how vital trust between people is in health decisions. The study further shows that digital marketing and reference groups are complementary, with consumers mainly initiated into buying through digital means but seeking validation and advice from trusted people. These agree with earlier findings and amplify the evolving interplay of modern marketing strategies with social influences in the traditional sphere of pharmaceuticals. Practical implications for this research indicate that pharmaceutical companies must pursue integrated marketing strategies in which digital outreach is combined with efforts to reach reference groups. The pharmacist or health professional is another important agent that can bridge the gap between online and offline consumer involvement. This study thus helps marketers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers develop strategies for improving consumer awareness and confidence in OTC medicines.
Pathway to Sustainability: An Integrated Model of Fostering Green Purchase Intention through Celebrity Endorsement
Authors: Zainab Azhar  , Javaria Asim
Published: January 2025

In a world where environmental sustainability ceased to be a fad and became a priority, the cosmetics industry stood in front of its challenge: persuading consumers to make the switch to green. Though environmental concerns have become widely known and popular trends continue to gain momentum for eco-friendly alternatives, consumers remain skeptical when buying green beauty products. This may be due to primarily two reasons: perceived brand inauthenticity and a lack of knowledge with regard to green products. The identification of such knowledge gaps will be vital in determining sustainable consumption patterns within the industry. This research explores complex interrelations between brand authenticity, celebrity endorsement, green product knowledge, environmental consciousness, and green purchase intention in Pakistan's beauty and cosmetics industry. It gives the results that celebrity endorsement influences both brand authenticity and knowledge about green product, which finally drive the green purchase intention. On one side, environmentally conscious consumers motivate or restrain themselves from taking a certain decision to buy greener products. While it can enhance the positive effect of brand authenticity on green purchase intentions, on the other hand, it leads consumers to critically assess green product claims and, therefore, moderates the impact of the product knowledge variable. These findings have useful implications for marketers and practitioners in the beauty and cosmetics industry.
The Role of AI in Predicting and Mitigating Climate Change: A Comparative Study of U.S. and China’s Approaches
Authors: Shehar Bano
Published: January 2025

Climate change is undeniably one of the most critical challenges facing the world today. It demands innovative solutions, especially in the realms of prediction and mitigation. Among the tools that offer significant promise is Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is reshaping the landscape of climate science by improving forecasting models, enhancing renewable energy systems, and driving policy changes towards sustainability. However, how AI is utilized to address climate change varies dramatically between countries, influenced by distinct governance structures, technological priorities, and institutional setups. This study offers a comparative analysis of the United States and China, two global powerhouses in the fields of AI and climate action. The research explores how these two nations, despite sharing similar climate objectives, adopt different strategies based on their political, economic, and technological contexts. The US tends to rely on decentralized, market-driven innovation, while China employs a more centralized, state-guided approach. These differences significantly impact the deployment of AI in critical areas like climate modeling, emissions monitoring, and energy optimization. The analysis is framed within the context of comparative institutionalism and technological innovation systems, which provide the theoretical underpinnings to explore the influence of political, economic, and technological factors on climate strategies. The findings of this study reveal that while the US thrives on innovation driven by the private sector, leading to the development of cutting-edge AI tools, China benefits from a unified national strategy that ensures rapid implementation on a large scale. Both models have distinct advantages and drawbacks, ultimately shaping each country’s contribution to the global fight against climate change. This paper concludes with a discussion on the implications of these findings for global cooperation in AI governance, highlighting the importance of international collaboration to fully harness AI’s potential for climate mitigation. This research thus contributes to the ongoing conversation around AI’s role in fostering sustainable development, offering practical insights and shedding light on how global political contexts influence technological solutions for the climate crisis.
Exploring the Influence of Brand Authenticity on Consumer Behavior: Insights from Generation Y Consumers in Pakistan
Authors: Hammad Zafar  , Fakhre Alam Siddiqui  , Muhammad Saad Khurshid
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the influence of perceived brand authenticity (PBA) dimensions (quality commitment, heritage, and sincerity) on brand love and subsequent consumer behavior among Generation Y consumers in Pakistan. Additionally, this research introduces brand trust as a mediating variable and explores differences between local and global brands to enhance originality. A mixed-approach approach emerges as employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Data were accumulated from a numerous sample of Generation Y clients in Pakistan through a hooked up questionnaire. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) emerges as used for hypothesis testing. Additionally, in-depth interviews were achieved to capture qualitative insights on brand authenticity perceptions. The results reveal that PBA dimensions significantly impact brand love, which, in turn, influences continuous purchase intention (CPI) and price premium (PP) willingness. Moreover, brand trust mediates the relationship between PBA and consumer behavior, strengthening the effect. Additionally, local brands (e.g., J., Khaadi, Daraz.pk) exhibit stronger authenticity perceptions than global brands (Adidas, KFC, Amazon) among Pakistani consumers. Digital marketing and influencer endorsements further enhance authenticity perceptions. This study contributes to branding literature by integrating Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) to explain Pakistani consumers’ preference for authentic brands. It highlights the role of trust and digital branding in shaping PBA perceptions. For marketers, the findings suggest that authenticity-driven strategies, including transparent communication, cultural storytelling, and social media engagement, can enhance brand loyalty and justify premium pricing. This research contributes to the existing literature by examining the role of PBA in shaping consumer behavior within the Pakistani context. By understanding the specific factors that drive brand love and loyalty among Generation Y consumers, marketers can develop more effective branding strategies.

Published: January 2025

Talents other than farm for income distribution are a vital strategy for socio-economic resilience in rural households, particularly in developing countries like Pakistan. The paper inspects gendered participation in non-farm projects and their impact on domestic welfare. The primary data has 290 rural households with 54.79% dependents, this is quantitative research which implements statistical analysis, visual highlights and linear regression model to assess determinants and income disparities. The paper is based on query How gender disparities in income contributions and access to resources effect households in Pakistan? Pakistan is enriched with patriarchal society, where men have been destined to opportunities for economic development since ages. On the other hand, women are largely confined to domestic roles. Despite this, women in small and medium-sized enterprises are found of having strong decision-making abilities and righteous contributions to household income. Rural women face lots of challenges, some include access constraints to education, finances, and entrepreneurial training. Empowering women and enhancing their participation in non-farm activities is essential to creating a balanced economy where both men and women contribute effectively to national development. Since 2006, Pakistan has increased gender parity by 0.5%. However, Southern Asia collectively got 63.4% of  it.

Authors: Sadeeq Ullah  , Sher Hassan  , Attia Shah
Published: January 2025

The Indian subcontinent's fight for independence (1857-1947) witnessed profound social, political, and cultural changes, during which Muslim women encountered a variety of challenges, including patriarchal norms, colonial oppression, and the constraints of the purdah system. These barriers often hindered their educational opportunities, limited their public engagement, and reinforced gender-based roles. Despite such limitations, Muslim women played crucial roles in shaping the political and social climate of the era. This study delves into the lives, struggles, and significant contributions of these women, highlighting how they navigated and resisted societal constraints. It discusses influential figures like Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, Fatima Jinnah, Abadi Banu Begum, Rashid Jahan, and Ismat Chughtai, whose efforts in education, social reform, literature, and nationalist movements challenged the oppressive frameworks of their time. Through their work, these figures not only propelled the cause of Indian independence forward but also championed the rights of Muslim women and broader social reforms. This research seeks to illuminate their determination, agency, and impact, showcasing how Muslim women were integral to both the fight for national liberation and the pursuit of gender equality. By examining their contributions and the socio-political context in which they acted, this study emphasizes their essential place in the history of India’s independence and the progress of women's rights in the subcontinent.

Published: January 2025

This study investigates the impact of activity-based teaching methods on enhancing English language skills among elementary-level students. The effect of activity based teaching methods on the development of English language skills at elementary levels is examined in this study. Student centered is taught by activity based teaching, an interactive and engaging, as this focuses on learning the activity by means of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The research examines the effectiveness of these methods at improving acquisition of language and boosting student confidence and participation. Data were collected using a qualitative research design with observation in classrooms, teacher interviews and student feedback to evaluate activity based instruction outcome. The discovery brings to the fore its important role in enhancing the students' language skills and boosting their confidence in learning, as well as motivating the students to an active participation in the learning process. However, the study also yields a disadvantage in implementing these strategies, the disadvantages majorly being resource limitation and teacher readiness. Suggestions are made for integrating activity-based teaching into English curricula in order to enhance language learning outcomes amongst students.
Teachers’ Classroom Management Styles and Practices: A Case Study of Government Girls’ Secondary Schools of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Authors: Ismat Ara  , Dr. Syed Munir Ahmad
Published: January 2025

Classroom management is one of the primary areas of concern expressed by teachers, wherein teachers’ personal belief influences their choice of classroom management approaches. Using a quantitative research design, the study used survey questionnaire to gather data from teachers focusing upon exploring relationships between teachers' classroom management styles and practices in government girls’ secondary schools of Peshawar. The study was conducted with the following objectives to explore classroom management styles and practices of female secondary school teachers, investigate how teachers' attitudes and personal experiences influence their classroom management styles and practices. The doctoral research from which this paper is drawn focused upon secondary school teachers and students in grades 9th and 10th. Using stratified sampling strategy, the data were gathered from 105 teachers from fifteen (15) girls' secondary schools in Peshawar. The study revealed that the classroom management styles and practices of the majority of the participating teachers aligned with the modern instructional approach. Nevertheless, the teachers' scores on the inventory indicated a greater implementation of student-centered classroom management styles and practices compared to teacher-centered practices. However, in an environment that prioritizes student-centered learning, learners should autonomously make decisions to become self-regulated learners. The cause of this phenomenon may be attributed to the overcrowded classrooms, with 77% of the participants reporting having more than 30 students in their classrooms. Educators in the modern day need to be extra careful to meet the demands of students all over the world in the twenty-first century. It is the responsibility of educators to prepare students for real-world challenges and inspire them to pursue further practical education.  The study recommended that Teachers may undergo training to develop self-assurance and the capacity to maintain discipline, organize workshops in KP to build curriculum based on classroom management approaches, focusing on both theoretical and practical aspects, as per the respondents' comments.

I think that if you want to make your knowledge FAIR, you should use an open license and RDF. Simple. Now, not everything is knowledge. A lot of data is, but a lot more is not, think raw data. Using RDF to explain a protein sequence is still something that makes me feel uneasy. However, first, you need to make RDF, you need to make assumptions explicit, you need to decide on meaning. Making RDF is not easy.

Este relato de experiência tem por objetivo descrever a experiência de mestrandos do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Intervenção Educativa e Social (PPGIES) da Universidade do Estado da Bahia – Campus XI acerca da realização de dinâmica lúdica e bem-estar físico no CAPS AD. A atividade visou proporcionar aos usuários e seus acompanhantes um momento de descontração na sala de espera, promovendo a interação e o bem-estar físico dos participantes e um ambiente mais agradável, acolhedor com uma dinâmica divertida e inclusiva. Utilizando uma metodologia qualitativa e participativa, foram organizadas dinâmicas de grupo que incluíram música e interação com objetos. Dos 18 presentes, 12 participaram ativamente, enquanto 6 optaram por não participar devido a várias razões pessoais. A atividade foi bem recebida e proporcionou momentos de descontração e alegria, contribuindo para um ambiente mais acolhedor e positivo na sala de espera. O relato também incorpora uma análise crítica e reflexiva fundamentada em autores renomados como Alexandre (2002), Pichon-Rivière (2005), Stoffer (2023), Martín-Baró (2003-2017), Costa, Silva e Silveira (2018), entre outros. Esses autores oferecem uma base teórica robusta para compreender as interações humanas em contextos coletivos, contribuindo para a análise dos processos grupais, prática grupal, dinâmica de grupo e liderança no contexto da sala de espera em saúde mental. Além disso, o artigo sugere propostas para futuras intervenções, visando aumentar a eficácia e o engajamento dos usuários.
Hate speech against women on social media: Case study analysis in Asia
Authors: Li Xin
Published: January 2025

Social media has become a critical environment for the proliferation of gender-based hate speech, deeply influenced by cultural norms and systemic inequalities. This study examines hate speech against women in China, Japan, and other Asian countries through a comparative case study approach, focusing on legal, cultural, and technological factors. Findings highlight inadequate legal protections, normalized misogyny, and weak platform governance as key contributors. Cases such as the “pink-haired girl” in China and Shiori Yamao in Japan demonstrate the psychological and social impacts of online hostility. The study calls for gender-sensitive policies, public awareness, and platform accountability to foster safer digital environments.
