This study addresses the limitations of the previous studies and contributes to the literature through developing theoretical knowledge and examining the empirical framework on the consequences of the oil price uncertainty for the investment in financial and real assets. The study uses structural VAR to identify the oil supply, aggregate demand and oil specific demand shocks and to estimates, the impact of these identified shocks on the performance of stock market in Pakistan is analyzed. The results of impulse response functions and variance decomposition analysis confirm the significant role of oil supply shocks and aggregate demand shocks on the stock market whereas, oil specific demand shocks exert little influence on the changes in the stock market prices. Findings suggest that the impact of oil prices shocks is not the same; it differs and depends upon the underlying oil price shock. This study further investigates using System GMM model how the corporate in vestment decisions in Pakistans developing and in a regulated oil price environment respond to international oil price uncertainty. The findings of this study reveal that international oil price uncertainty significantly affects the corporate invest ment decisions and also finds evidence in favour of compound options theory appli cation in Pakistan. However, contrary to the existing studies, our findings imply that although the impacts of oil prices uncertainty in normal course are positive, corporate investment significantly decreases when the uncertainty increases at the exponential rate. These findings are in contrast with those found in US by (Hen rique & Sadorsky, 2011). This difference is due to different economic conditions and structures of Pakistani and US economy. In the decomposed oil price shocks and corporate investment phase, investigates the impacts of uncertainty of identified underlying oil price shocks on the corporate investment decisions by using GMM. Results show the positive effects of world oil supply uncertainty, whereas world oil demand and oil specific demand measures have significant negative effects on the corporate investment. These findings sug gest that the impact of oil prices shocks on the corporate investment decisions is x also not the same; it differs and depends upon the underlying oil price shock. Fur ther findings from the analysis confirm the presence of both waiting options and the growth options in line with the empirical findings by (Henrique & Sadorsky, 2011). Finally finding from the oil intensity analysis suggest that in Pakistan volatility of different underlying oil price shocks affect significantly the corporate investment decisions in Pakistan for both the oil intensive and less oil intensive industries and there is not much difference between them. Results regarding the factor of size suggest that small firms are better in coping with the world oil supply side shock of oil price uncertainty, whereas the large size firms are better able to handle with the oil specific demand side shock of oil prices. Therefore effects of oil price shocks on investment is not the same for the large and small size firms and differ depending upon the underlying shock of oil price uncertainty also. Findings imply that, the policy-making authorities, investors and managers must take care of the source of oil shocks, the difference, nature and intensity of effects according to their country environment before making the policies and decision about the investment plans.

میں اِک اور اقبال کے انتظار میں ہوں

میں اک اور اقبال کے انتظار میں ہوں
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز سامعین ا ور میرے ہم مکتب شاہینو!آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کرنی ہے وہ ہے:’’میں اک اور اقبال کے انتظار میں ہوں‘‘
مت سہل ہمیں جانو پھرتا ہے فلک برسوں
تب خاک کے پردے سے انسان نکلتے ہیں
جنابِ صدر!
اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ جیسی نابغہ ٔروزگار اور عظیم المرتبت شخصیت صدیوں بعد پیدا ہوتی ہے۔ ان کے افکار و خیالات، نظریات اور عمل کے اثرات صدیوں تک منارۂ نور کی طرح جھلملاتے رہتے ہیں۔ خالق کائنات نے اقبال کوایسی قوت ادراک اور بصیرت عطا فرمائی تھی کہ جو کائنات کے سربستہ رازوں کو دیکھنے کی صلاحیت رکھتی تھی۔ وہ ایک مسلمان کی طرح سوچنے اور مومن کی طرح محسوس کرتے تھے۔ وہ دیدہ ور اور دانائے راز تھے۔ آپ نے حکیم الامت بن کر ملت اسلامیہ کے مرض کہن کی نشاندہی کی۔ قرآنی فکر اور فلسفہ سے اسے دور ہٹانے کی کوشش کی ، اقبال کی فکر اور وجدان کا مآخذ اور مرکز عقیدہ توحید اور رسالت ہے۔ یہ وہ بنیاد ہے جس نے روئے زمین کے تمام مسلمانوں کو یکجا کر دیا ہے۔
ٹپک اے شمع آنسو بن کے پروانے کی آنکھوں سے
سراپا درد ہوں حسرت بھری ہے داستاں میری
معزز سامعین!
اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ سمجھتے تھے کہ مسلمان تارک قران ہو کر خوار ہوئے ہیں۔ اس لیے آپ مسلمانوں کی حالت زار پر بہت رنجیدہ تھے۔ ذات پات، رنگ، نسل، ملک وقوم کی تقسیم نے مسلمانوں سے ان کا جو حقیقی مشن چھین لیا ہے۔ فکروعمل کی دوری سے مسلمان کمزور ہوتے چلے گئے۔ اپنے مقصد حیات سے دور ہٹنے کی وجہ سے غیروں کی محکومی انکا مقدر بن...

A Systematic Research on Usability Review of Mental Health Apps for Ios and Android Platform

A variety of healthcare applications have been introduced so far. For the success of such applications their usability plays a significant role. The more the application is user friendly and easy to use the more percentage it will get to be adopted by the consumers. This work reviews and evaluates range of mental health applications in terms of their usability. There are some approaches that could prove to be best usability indicator for the mobile apps and can determine how well their functionalities work. Some of the major approaches to usability testing are user testing, surveying, A/B testing and expert based evaluation. The usability testing has explored the missing factors in usability of the mental health related mobile apps. At the start, all the data related to mobile health apps is collected according to which an excel sheet is prepared. The excel filecontain all the necessary information (name, language, date of release/latest update, availability on Android or iOS, availability as freeware or in-app purchase, cost, availability as lite-version, number of downloads/ installations, user rating, number of user ratings, availability of an interface/connectivityto (an) external sensor(s)/ devices and type of external sensor(s)/ devices) . The study has figured out the range of functions supported in each mental health apps that includes information about disease function, add/remove more than one patient diary, scheduling function, advisory function/ therapy support, treatment, diagnosis/symptoms, messaging, result tracking/ graph creation /visual representation and treatment adherence/rewards. After data collection usability testing is performed in a closed environment. A team of 6 members (3 male, 3 female) performed usability test on 10% of collected apps. In usability testing the major factors analyzed is comprehensibility, presentation (image and text), affordability, efficiency and error rate. The analysis is performed to observe effects of some factors (like range of functions, platform effectiveness, etc.) on usability of mobile apps and see if these factors affect app usability in a positive or negative manner. It is observed that the number of mental health apps available in Android is much more than those available in iOS. However, the user rating of iOS apps is higher than that of android. It is noticed much improvements can be made to increase the usability of mobile health apps. For instance, by providing help related functions, increases the understandability of various app?s features and hence can increase user interaction and app?s usage time. Similarly, if apps icons are meaningful they can grasp users? attention easily. The paper has discussed in detail the positive and negative features of mental health apps in both platforms.
