Consumer perceptions and purchase decisions among women toward the Junaid Jamshed (J.) brand
No full textThis capstone project studies the perceptions and purchase decisions of female consumers toward the Junaid Jamshed (J.) brand, focusing on identifying gaps in its women’s apparel segment and providing actionable strategies for improvement. While J. enjoys significant popularity in men’s traditional wear, its women’s line remains weak, with weaker design innovation, limited emotional appeal, and a perception problem among younger and trendconscious consumers. Against the backdrop of rising competition from brands such as Khaadi, Ideas by Gul Ahmed, Zellbury, and Saya, this research aimed to reveal how women view J., what influences their purchase behavior, and how the brand can reposition itself effectively in the fashion retail market.
The project began with a proposal defense phase, where extensive secondary research was done. This included a literature review of academic studies on consumer behavior, gender-based fashion preferences, brand switching, omnichannel retailing, influencer marketing, and ecommerce trust in retail industry of Pakistan. Initial findings highlighted that peer recommendations are more effective than celebrity endorsements, brand-switching is common due to low product innovation, and that digital trust and omnichannel integration are essential to modern fashion consumers. Market competition analysis presented that J. has a price disadvantage compared to competitors, with higher costs for less fabric and limited product categories for women. Moreover, J.’s Shariah-compliant philosophy restricts the use of conventional influencers, further reducing its visibility among younger audiences.
The primary research phase built upon these understandings with a structured survey of 217 female respondents in Karachi. Results revealed that overall perceptions of J. were weak. Social Media Marketing scored the highest (2.38) as compared to other variables, but this did not translate into actual purchase intent. The strongest predictors of purchase decision were Brand-User Imagery (emotional connection with the brand) and Social Influence (peer/family opinion). In contrast, it was observed that traditional branding and social media ads were statistically insignificant in driving purchase intent.
Alongside survey analysis, store visits were conducted. Observations revealed that while J. offers the widest product assortment, but women’s section is outdated, poorly lit, and lacks engaging merchandising. Competitors offer balanced experience with modern layouts, strong instore signage, and customer-friendly pricing. This comparison reinforced the conclusion that J. lags competitors in store design, visual merchandising, women-focused innovation, and experiential retailing.
Based on these insights, the project recommends strategic recommendations benchmarked against both global and local fashion retailers. These include introducing a modest Western wear line to attract young, urban women; revamping visual merchandising via thematic displays and mannequins; strengthening e-commerce and digital trust with features like reviews and size guides; creating a sub-brand for women; embracing community-driven marketing via microinfluencers and user-generated content (UGC); enhancing in-store services with stylists as well as customization kiosks; and creating loyalty programs with personalized rewards.
In conclusion, the findings highlight that J. is a heritage-rich brand but with untapped potential in the women’s wear segment. Its challenge lies in connecting tradition with trend, modesty with modernity, and emotional appeal with digital transformation. By implementing the recommended strategies, J. can reinforce its relevance among female consumers, improve brand equity, and secure a competitive edge in Pakistan’s fast-evolving fashion industry
The Fana\u27 Concept of Abu Yazid al-Busthomi and Imam Junaid al-Baghdadi (Comparative Study)
Get PDFThe concept of fana is a concept that developed in the third and fourth centuries hijriyah. A concept of fusion (trance) which later became an experience desired by many Sufism retainers. A Sufistic experience that must be passed and deliver Sufis at the top of the world of Sufism. with the experience that each Sufi feels so that many bring up various differences between one and another, then it also becomes a phenomenon for the fuqoha\u27. Abu Yazid al-Busthomi and Imam Junaid al-Baghdadi were one of the pioneers of the concept of Fana’. With a distinctly different background, between Sufi philosophy and Sunni. So the author takes the initiative and aims to combine the views between the two by examining a character who is balanced against and a character who has many adherents to this day, in order to get a good understanding and similarities or differences in the concept of Fana’\u27. This research uses library research, by means of qualitative analysis. As well as using primary and secondary sources. The results of this study are the concept of Fana’ must be together with the concept of Baqo’, awareness of a person\u27s individuality has disappeared even though his physical form is still there. And to reach the peak of Fana’, the Salikin must leave the nature, character and personality as humans
Protect Against Phishing Scams
No full textAbstract: Phishing is an act of luring unsuspecting recipient of a message into revealing information which can be used against the recipient. Email is the most common medium of creating a Phishing attack against individuals and organizations. Phishing is a type of social engineering attempt, usually via emails, designed to trick the recipient. These attacks often result in malicious software getting deployed, steal user data including credentials or financial data, and victimize the entire infrastructure for ransom etc. First step in preventing this attack is to identify what a Phishing attempt is, to report it, and take similar actions for others. The golden rule of prevention is when you are in doubt, do not open that email, download its attachments or click on any hyperlinks inside.
Keywords: Phishing, Spam, Email, Malware, Social Engineering.

Future projections of temperature-related indices in Prince Edward Island using ensemble average of three CMIP6 models
No full textPrince Edward Island (PEI) is an agricultural province heavily relying on rainfed agriculture. The island has already experienced significant impacts from climate change. Accurate projections of PEI temperature extreme indices are required to mitigate and adapt to the changing climate conditions. This study aims to develop ensemble projections using Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) global circulation models (GCMs) to analyze temperature extremes on PEI. In this study, the ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis dataset was chosen for stepwise cluster analysis (SCA) due to its high accuracy. Three CMIP6 (NorESM2-MM, MPI-ESM1.2-HR, and CanESM5) GCMs, along with their ensemble average, were utilized in the SCA model to project future changes in daily maximum temperature (Tmax) and minimum temperature (Tmin) at four meteorological stations on PEI (East Point, Charlottetown, Summerside, and North Cape) under two shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5). These GCMs were selected based on their low, medium, and high Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity. The bias-corrected results for the future period of Tmax and Tmin showed that the GCM-specific changes in the ECS also impact the regional scale. Additionally, several temperature extreme indices, including the daily temperature range (DTR), summer days (SU), growing degree days (GDD), growing season length (GSL), ice days (ID), and frost days (FD), were analyzed for two future periods: FP1(202–2050) and FP2 (2051–2075). The results indicate that DTR, SU, GDD, and GSL are expected to increase, while ID and FD are projected to decrease during FP1 and FP2 under both scenarios. The future projected mean monthly changes in Tmax, Tmin, and the selected temperature extreme indices highlight warmer future periods and an increase in agriculture-related indices such as GDD and GSL. Specifically, July, August, and September are expected to experience even higher temperatures in the future. As the climate becomes warmer, cold extreme events are projected to be shorter in duration but more intense in terms of their impact. The largest increments/decrements for Tmax, Tmin, and their relevant indices were observed during FP2 under SSP5-8.5. The outcomes of this study provide valuable insights for agricultural development, water resource management, and the formulation of effective mitigation strategies to address the impacts of climate change on PEI.Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canadathe New Frontiers in Research Fundthe Government of Prince Edward IslandAtlantic Canada Opportunities AgencyAgriculture and Agri-Food Canad
