Moreover, the relationship of these behavioral variables with investment decision making process and performance are also monitored. As in Pakistan, there are limited work is done in the area of behavioral finance, this study is considered to add significantly to the advancement of this field in Pakistan. The study starts with the previous theories in behavioral finance. So, on the basis of those theories researcher develop hypotheses. After that, these hypotheses are tested in the course of the questionnaires which are distributed to individual equity investor's at Pakistan's Stock Exchanges. Then the collected data are analyzed by using Statistical software. The Tests used were, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Descriptive Statistics (DS), Cronbach's Alpha, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and also Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) alongwith Soble Test. The result shows that these are two mainly behavioral factors: Heuristic Theory (Overconfidence Bias) and Prospect Theory (Loss Aversion Bias), affecting the investment decisions making process and performance of individual equity investors. Most of the sub-variables of both behavioral biases contain high impact on the performance of equity investor. And these behavioral biases along with or without mediating variable (partial mediation exist through Sobel test) also contain positive impact on investment performance of individual equity investor at Pakistan's Stock Markets. The findings of this study is not only helpful to the individual equity investors, authors, security companies, but also for the field of behavioral finance.

بولیاں دا ٹبر

بولیاں دا ٹبر

اک وار دی گل اے کہ کسے پنڈ وچ بولیاں دا ٹبر رہندا سی۔ اوہناں دے منڈے دا نواں نواں ویاہ ہویا سی۔ منڈے دے سوہریاں نے واہی لئی اپنی دھی دے داج وچ اک ڈھگا دتا سی۔ اک ڈھگا اوہدے کول پہلے توں موجود سی۔

ویاہ توں کجھ دناں بعد اوہ زمین واہن لئی اپنے کھیت جاندا اے۔ ہل چلاون لئی دونویں ڈھگے اوہدے کول نیں۔ جدوں اوہ ہل چلا رہیا ہوندا اے تاں دو پولس والے راہ بھل گئے اوہدے کول آ جاندے نیں۔ اوہ اوہدے کول راہ پچھدے نیں تے اوہ سمجھدا اے کہ اوہ آکھ رہے نیں کہ ڈھگے کتھوں لے نیں۔ اوہ جواب دیندا اے کہ اک میرا اپناتے دوجا مینوں سوہریاں نے دتا اے۔ اوہناں اوہدے کولوں تین چار واری ایہو سوال پچھیا تے اگوں اوہنے پہلے والا ای جواب دتا۔ جواب سن کے پولیس والیاں نوں بہت غصہ آیا۔ اوہناں اوس نوں بہت کٹیا تے اوہنوں چھڈ کے چلے گئے۔ جاندے ہوئے آکھدے نیں کہ ایہہ پاگل ہو گیا اے۔ جو ساڈی گل نئیں سمجھدا۔

اوہناں دے جاون مگروں اوہدے گھر والی روٹی لے کے آندی اے۔ اوہ روٹی نوں اک پاسے رکھ کے اوہنوں مارنا شروع کر دیندا اے تے آکھدا اے کہ تیرے ماں پیو نے مینوں چوری دا ڈھگا دتا اے۔ جس کارن مینوں پولیس نے بہت ماریا۔ اوہدی بیوی گھر آ کے اپنی سس نوں آکھدی کہ توں مینوں اج روٹی دیر نال دتی اے جس کارن میرے گھر والے نے مینوں ماریا اے۔ اوہدی سس بھٹھی اتے دانے بھن رہی ہوندی اے۔ اوہ کڑاہی بھٹھی توں چک کے زمین اتے مار دی اے تے آکھدی اے کہ اج میں پہلی وار بھٹھی تائی اے تے میری نونہہ سڑ گئی اے۔ اوہدی سس ساری...

توہین مذہب و رسالت اور سماجی رویے: اسلامی تناظر میں

Extremism is a challenge facing the societies both on secular and religious level, which has damaged the society with disrupting peace and creating caos in the world. There is a dire need of an academic discussion regarding the various aspects of the issue in Islamic and social perspectives. This is an attempt to realize the sensitivity of the subject and providing a balanced approached in the light of Islamic teachings. This article draws attention of the concerned authorities to play their role for the stoppage of blasphemous activities by implementation of the existing law and its development by determining the punishment against false accusation. The article also explains that what Islam expects from the Muslims and guides them in expressing their feelings and showing their attitudes, behavior and fixing their responsibilities regarding the issue with true Islamic spirit. The article draws the attention of the non-Muslim countries and communities as well to display impartiality, truth and realistic attitude and appropriate legislation by considering the blasphemous activities as a heinous crime.

Isolation, Identification and Screening of Bacteria from Cattle Gut As a Potential Probiotic Species for Use in Animal Feed

Balance diet is a basic factor in livestock productivity. Uneven and unbalanced dietary pattern is considered a major restriction for livestock development in Pakistan because it leads to decrease milk production, reproductive performance and growth rate of cattle. Livestock productivity can be increases by probiotics supplementation in cattle feed because they have ability to survive harsh gut environment, enhance digestion, improve microbial balance inside the gut and subsequently enhance milk production and growth rate. Cattle gut is rich source of probiotic species. There is still insufficient knowledge on indigenous probiotic species of livestock gastrointestinal tract. The present experiment was conducted to isolate and identify probiotic bacterial species from cattle gut at molecular level and to determine their probiotic potential. 35 pure bacterial strains were isolated from 30 fecal samples of healthy lactating Sahiwal cow. These strains were identified on the basis of morphological (colony morphology and gram staining), biochemical (catalase and oxidase test) and molecular characterization. Three strains (PBC-3, PBC-6 and PBC-9) were selected as probiotic strains based on their enzymatic potential (cellulolytic, amylolytic and proteolytic ability) and survival ability to low pH. These isolates were identified as Enterococcus faecalis (PBC-3), Pediococcus acidilacticii (PBC-6) and Pediococcus pentosaceus (PBC-9) by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results of present study illustrated that these three bacterial strains (Enterococcus faecalis , Pediococcus acidilacticii and Pediococcus pentosaceus) showed best probiotic potential and can be use in cattle feed in future.
