Get PDFProperty technology has introduced the real estate sector to new opportunities, such as the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies by real estate agents for property marketing purposes. Virtual reality will enable a global network of linked digital environments that will integrate commercial activities, commerce, education, entertainment, and social interactions. This study uses data from239 potential buyers to examine how the virtual reality experience (VRE) affects Pakistan-Islamabad real estate buyers; buying intentions. Moderation and mediation effects are analyzed using SPSS PROCESS model 5 and hypothetico-deductive reasoning. This research examines consumer behaviour, cognitive states, personal innovativeness, and VR technology experience. The findings show that virtual reality (VR) improves buyers; property visualization, which increases their purchase intentions. These results imply that real estate VR technology meets and may improve customer expectations and purchasing intentions. The moderate hypothesis that personal innovativeness has no statistically significant impact is rejected since it hardly appears. VR should be combined with other novel technologies and examined for its long-term implications on customer purchase intention to ensure effective marketing

Enhancing Weather Recognition Using Transfer Learning Approach
Get PDFThis research highlights the crucial role of accurate weather classification in industries such as autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation. Manual classification methods are often time-consuming and prone to errors, while online weather forecasts may not provide real-time accuracy. To address these challenges, the study harnesses the power of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with the invaluable technique of transfer learning. By using transfer learning, pre-trained models (MobileNetV2 and VGG19) are fine-tuned to classify weather images into categories like Shine, Rain, Sunrise, and Cloudy.
The key significance of transfer learning lies in its ability to leverage knowledge from large datasets, such as ImageNet, to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of weather classification. The results of this study affirm the potential of transfer learning, with MobileNetV2 achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 94.65%, and VGG19 performing strongly at 92.88%. This underscores the critical role of transfer learning in improving weather classification, ultimately providing more reliable weather information for diverse applications and industries. In essence, transfer learning contributes to advancing autonomous systems, outdoor vision solutions, and intelligent transportation, thereby enhancing the quality of life and safety for individuals and communities
The Link Between Parentification and Imposter Phenomenon In Young Adults
Get PDFThe current study investigated how parentification is associated with the impostor phenomenon in young adults. The study hypothesized that (1) Parent-focused parentification would predict impostor phenomenon in young adults, and (2) Sibling-focused parentification would also predict impostor phenomenon in young adults. A sample of 157 young adults from various universities in Karachi, aged between 18 to 25 years with a mean age of 20.63 (SD = 1.528), was used to test these hypotheses. The Parentification Inventory (PI; Hooper, 2009) and Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS; Clance, 1985) were employed to measure these constructs. Statistical analysis of linear regression found out parent-focused parentification (R2= .141, F= 25.542, p <.01) and sibling focused parentificantion (R2= .127, F= 22.751, p <.01) as significant predictors of impostor phenomenon which indicated that, experience of parentification contributes to impostor phenomenon young adults. Implications of findings of the present study are discoursed and ways for the future research have been recommended
A Bibliometric Analysis of Board Gender Diversity in the Perceptive of Social Equity: A Science Mapping and Performance Analysis in the Banking Sector
Get PDFGender equality is becoming a well-discussed phenomenon among scholars, policymakers, and governments, particularly after the emphasis on gender equality goals by the United Nations. As a result, women increasingly occupy higher managerial positions within the firm hierarchy in the banking sector to achieve social equity which is only possible to address the gender disparity issue. That is why the literature on female representation in corporate boards has dramatically increased in recent years, proving unequivocally that specific traits of women favorably influence many domains inside the organization. However, the conflicting empirical evidence regarding the significance of gender board diversity (GBD) leads scholars to revisit the underpinning theories and literature. The current study conducted a bibliometric analysis to evaluate scholarly papers concerning female participation on governing boards from 2012-22. The Scopus database was used for document extractions, and 792 publications were included in the bibliometric analysis. The findings emphasize important journals, institutes, countries, pertinent authors, and research on this issue. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Spain are the most dominant regions, and University Utara Malaysia is the leading institute in publications. Journal of Business Ethics is the primary source of publication, and García-Sánchez is the most contributing author based on article metric. The study also reported the five major research themes: board structure and composition, CSR disclosure and sustainability, the financial impact of board gender diversity (BGD), demographic diversity, and the significance of female CEOs in decision-making opening new research areas for scholars and practitioners. The study will be helpful in theoretically supporting the concept of GBD in the banking sector and highlighting the reasons for conflicting findings from the prior studies that will be useful in achieving sustainable organizational goals
Impact of Ownership Structure on Investment Efficiency of Sharia Compliant Firms
Get PDFSharia compliance is very common preference among Muslim nations of world, requiring to meet certain criteria as a sharia compliant firm. Muslims prefer to either invest in stocks or buy products from firms that are working as per the sharia rules and does not contribute in non-sharia activities in the society. This research is conducted, focusing on sharia compliant firms’ ownership structure and impact on firm’s investment efficiency. The workable data comprises of 65 non-financial sharia compliant firms listed in Islamic index of Bursa Malaysia and the span of study was 10 years from 2011 to 2020. Panel data analysis using two-step System Generalized Method of Moments technique was used in the study. The results showed that ownership concentration has a direct positive relationship with investment inefficiency while dispersed shareholdings displayed a negative relationship. Managerial shareholdings proved to have a positive relation with investment inefficiency as in line with agency theory. Institutional ownership was found to be negatively related to investment inefficiency while Mutual Fund ownership and Retail ownership were found to increase investment inefficiencies. Impact of Independent Non-Executive Ownership in firm was found to be statistically insignificant in impacting the investment efficiencies. The findings are in line with previous studies conducted on conventional non-financial institutions.
