The undeniable role of cognitive biases and bounded rationality in managerial decision making is confirmed by previous researchers they further bring into light the ultimate behavioral cost that firms have to pay due to undesired outcomes of the decisions situations (Simon, Houghton & Aquino, 1999). This study seeks ways to resolve the unanswered questions about overconfidence bias and ambiguity aversion bias in manager''s financial decision making in a cross cultural environment. For this purpose survey based data has been collected from executives/ managers of firms listed on Pakistan stock exchange and New York Stock Exchange. Results achieved found that overconfidence bias is more significantly playing role in managerial decision making for USA while ambiguity aversion bias has strong effect on the decisions taken by Pakistani managers. It has been found that manager''s risk perception is a significant mediator for financing, Investment, and asset management decisions in Pakistan while it is significant for all decisions in case of USA. Study further applied moderation and moderated mediation through use of process by Hayes, 2013 and found the conditional indirect effect of uncertainty avoidance on the relationship between ambiguity aversion bias of managers and financial decisions via RP. Consequently this study has reached to extract the hidden facts and solutions to the observed issues for underdeveloped country firms through cultural differences. The cross cultural research work can also help the firms in both countries to bring integrated solutions to the problems observed. The study has found that in the decision making process of company, the managers in Pakistan avoid dividend payments to shareholders due to fear bankruptcy and shortage of cash and raise funds via debt financing. Results concluded that they further avoid investments due to ambiguity about the risk of loss and ultimately lead the firms towards less growth in long run. Conversely in case of USA results showed that risk perception play significant role for all decisions. Findings showed that US managers being more overconfident perceive external financing as less expensive, so they overinvest using these external funds. Consequently firm growth and cash flow also continued to keep the firm from insufficiency of funds. Furthermore these inflows also help the US firm to announce dividends on interim basis. These ground realities pertaining to growth and capital structure guides that firms should take special measures to control these biases. It will help to overcome micro as well as macro level shocks i.e. assistance to make optimal capital structure, increase in return on investments, maintaining balance between dividend payment and asset management decisions and ultimately reduce the behavioral cost of firm.

مولانا محمد یوسف
شیخ التبلیغ مولانا محمد یوسف صاحب رحمتہ اﷲ علیہ کی وفات پوری ملت اسلامیہ کا حادثہ ہے، اس وقت ہندوستان کی تمام جماعتوں میں تبلیغی جماعت اپنے اثرات و نتائج کے لحاظ سے سب سے زیادہ مفید کام انجام دے رہی ہے، اس نے لاکھوں نامسلمانوں اور منکروں کو مسلمان اور مسلمانوں کو مومن کامل اور اسلام کا مبلغ بنادیا، اس کے قافلے ساری دنیا میں رواں دواں ہیں، جس کی مثال قرونِ اولیٰ کے بعد نہیں ملتی، اور یہ سب نتیجہ ہے ایک صاحب عزیمت مرد مومن مولانا محمد الیاس رحمتہ اﷲ علیہ کے اخلاص و ﷲیت اور دینی تڑپ کا، ان کے بعد ان کے خلف الصدق مولانا محمد یوسف نے اس بار امانت کو سنبھالا، اور اس لگن سے اس کو چلایا کہ اس کا دائرہ ایشیا سے نکل کر افریقہ اور یورپ تک پھیل گیا، لیکن مشیت ایزدی کو کچھ اور منظور تھا، مولانا مرحوم تبلیغ کے سلسلہ میں لاہور تشریف لے گئے تھے کہ وقت موعود آگیا، وہیں قلب کا دورہ پڑا اور مبلغ اسلام اپنے رب کے حضور حاضر ہوگیا، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی دینی خدمات کو قبول اور ان کے مدارج بلند فرمائے، اللھم صبب علیہ شابیب رحمتک و رضوانک یہ حادثہ اتنا سخت ہے کہ بظاہر اس کی تلافی کی امید نظر نہیں آتی لیکن اگر اﷲ تعالیٰ کو اپنے دین کی تبلیغ اور اپنے محبوب کی امت کی اصلاح کا کام لینا منظور ہے تو اس کا کوئی نہ کوئی انتظام فرما دے گا۔
تبلیغی جماعت کی کامیابی کا راز اس کا اخلاص و ﷲیت ہے، وہ ہر قسم کے جماعتی تعصب اور گروہ بندی سے پاک، اختلافی مسائل سے الگ اور قیادت و اقتدار کی ہوس سے بلند ہے، اسی لیے اس میں ہر عقیدہ و خیال کے مسلمان شریک ہیں، اس کے مبلغ...

Implementation of the Internet of Things for Monitoring the Companys Electrical Power Consumption

This research aims to design an electric panel monitoring system using the Internet of Things technology in company buildings so that consumers can monitor real-time electricity consumption. The energy consumption monitoring method that we propose uses PM2100 by implementing a real-time monitoring function of the power consumption of a 3-phase electric panel. The monitoring system implementation results show that the value is very close to measuring the digital multimeter measuring instrument. The monitoring system produces a current measurement accuracy of 97.38% with an error of 2.62%, while the 3-phase voltage measurement error is 0.616%. This system design helps companies obtain information faster to be considered data to improve efficiency in the Company.

Regional Scale Sediment Yield Modeling Using Gis and Remote Sensing

A grid based Regional Scale Sediment Yield Model RSSYM was setup different catchments of Indus basin using coarse resolution grid data. When coarse grid data is used, the land slope decreases and sediment delivery is reduced. In this study the slope averaging effect was minimized by using the fractal analysis approach. The fractal constant (α) and fractal dimension (D) equations were correlated with the standard deviation on elevation by Zhang et al. (2000). These equations for fractal constant and fractal dimension were developed using Digital Elevation Model of 1 km2 resolution (DEM) for local topography. The slope was computed for 250 m and 50 m downscaling from 1 km2 grid. A comparison was made between fractal constant equation and fractal dimension to scale down the slope parameter. Both equations were incorporated in RSSYM. The model was applied to Phulra catchment. The results showed that fractal dimension equation gives better results as compared to fractal constant. So the fractal dimension equation was incorporated in RSSYM. The RSSYM was applied on three catchments of Indus basin namely Soan, Gariala and Phulra. For Phulra catchment of Siran river the total observed sediment was 0.304 million tons whereas the simulated sediment was 0.291 million tons. The coefficient of efficiency (COE) was 0.85 and the coefficient of determination was 0.83 which shows that there is a good correlation between the observed and simulated values. In Gariala catchment the observed sediment was 6.01 million tons whereas simulated sediment was 6.80 million tons. The coefficient of efficiency for Gariala catchment was 0.91 and the coefficient of determination observed and simulated hydrograph was 0.81. Similarly for the Soan catchment the observed sediment was 10.61 million tons and simulated sediment was 12.29 million tons. The coefficient of determination and coefficient of efficiency for this catchment was 0.95 and 0.98 respectively. The snowmelt runoff model SRM was applied to Astor catchment to test the applicability of temperature index approach for Indus basin. The terrain is difficult to measure the hydrological and hydraulics data. Most of the data was available at the outlet of the catchments. The input data included daily temperature and precipitation, dividing the catchment in to different zone depending on the elevation difference. The elevation zones were generated from the DEM of the area. The snow depletion curves were made for the snow covered area derived from the satellite data analysis on monthly basis. The model output was discharge hydrograph. The COE was 0.91 which shows that there is a good correlation between the observed and simulated values. The statistical test showed that model performance was good. The results of SRM model encouraged to use temperature index approach for snowmelt runoff estimation in the Indus basin. A snowmelt runoff model was developed using temperature index approach. The model was coupled with regional scale sediment yield model RSSYM. The coupled model was named as modified regional scale sediment yield model (MRSSYM). The MRSSYM model was applied to Astor and Gilgit catchments. For the Astor catchment total observed sediment load was 3.98 million tons whereas the simulated sediment load was 4.34 million tons. The coefficient of the model was 0.89 whereas the coefficient of determination was 0.83. Similarly for Gilgit catchment the measured and simulated sediment loads were 4.50 and 4.48 million tons respectively. The coefficient of efficiency and coefficient of determinations were 0.95 and 0.88 respectively. From the results it can be concluded that MRSSYM can be applied with confidence to various catchments of Indus basin where runoff is due to snowfall and snow melting.
