This study analyzed the influential factors of consumers' purchase intention towards counterfeit luxury products by considering the model of social status, integrity, novelty seeking, and perceived risk. Attitude towards counterfeit product was used as a mediator in the model. The causalities in the model of problematic purchase intention of consumers toward counterfeit luxury products are hypothesized. A total sample of 400 respondents with 385 effective samples was collected by distributing self-administered questionnaires to people from different sectors. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through AMOS was adopted for the analysis. Consumers' attitude towards counterfeit product was found to be positively and significantly related to purchase intention of counterfeit product. As for personality constructs, social status and novelty seeking were found to be positively related to attitude and purchase intention of counterfeit product while integrity and perceived risk did not show significant relationship. This study urges original manufacturers to focus more precisely on personality related factors of people and also need to work closely with policy makers to hinder counterfeiting activity. Replication of the study in other settings is also recommended. Further academic and managerial implications are presented by the research, limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

غزل

کل کے سکھ تو گروی رکھے, پچھلے بوجھ اتارے

اندر اندر سلگوں لیکن نکلوں زلف سنوارے

 

جانتی ہوں میں تیز ہوا ہے راہ میں رستہ روکے

کون  ہے ,خوشبو کے لہجے میں جا کر اسے پکارے

 

ایسے لگتا ہے میں خود ہی اس پہ جھولنا چاہوں

مجھ کو درد کی سولی سے اب آکے کون اتارے

 

اسی لیے تو نیند کی دیوی سے میں چھپنا چاہوں

روز مری آنکھوں سے کوئی آگ سے خواب گزارے

 

دیکھ دیکھ کے ان کو حوصلہ ملتا تو ہے مجھ کو

میری طرح سے جاگتے ہیں یہ شب بھر چاند ستارے

 

ایک اداسی کے دھاگے میں خود ہی بندھتی جاؤں

میری سوچوں پر یہ کون ہے خوف کے چھینٹے مارے

 

درد کے پیکر میں ڈھل جاتے ہیں معلوم نہیں

میری غزلیں, میری نظمیں, میرے

فن حدیث میں مولانا عبد الرحمن مبارک پوری کی خدمات کا جائزہ

Sūnan-ul-Tirmizi is an encyclopedia of Ahādith-ul-Ahkām. Imam Tirmizi is the Mohadith who divided hadiths into Sahih and Zaeef for the first time. He accepts or rejects a hadith on the base of Taāmul-e-Ummah. He is only the Mohadith who established the terminology of “Filbāb” in which he gives the words of hadith from a Sahabi and mentions the names of all other sahabies who are rawi of the same hadith. There are many sharh of Tirmizi written by Muhadiseen. Among them Tuhfat ul Ahwazi is famously written by Molana Abdul Rahman Mubarakpuri. He explores the terminologies of Sonan-e-Tirmizi. He discussed uloom ul hadith, books of hadith, Shoroh-ul-hadith, Asma-ul-rejal and ilm ul ansab etc. He mentions tafsiri aqwal, fiqhi problems and usool-e-hadith. He also solved the Tasaholat-e-Tirmizi in validity (sihat) and unvalidity (zouf). He is the first mohadith who tried to find the words of hadith from other sahabies whose names are given in “Filbab”. He did it but could not find the words of 87 ahadith for which he used the term “Lam aqif alaih” and 417 ahadith for which he used the term “Le Yonzar man akhraja haza ul hadith”. This thing makes it distinct from other shoroh of Sūnan-e-Tirmizi. He depends on the usool-e-hadith of forefather Muhadiseen and he did not establish his own usool hadith.

Exact and Approximation Riemann Solutions of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

This thesis project focuses on the numerical solutions of selected nonlinear hyperbolic sys tems of partial differential equations (PDEs) describing incompressible and compressible flows. Such type of PDEs are used to simulate various flows in science and engineering. The underlying physics of such systems of PDEs is very complex and some mathematical and computational issues are associated with them. For instance, they may contain non conservative terms or may be weakly hyperbolic. The strong nonlinearity of the systems could generate sharp fronts in the solutions in a finite time interval, even for smooth initial data. Moreover, accurate discretization of the non-conservative terms is a challenge task for the numerical solution techniques. In the presence of non-conservative terms, well balancing, positivity preservation and capturing of steady states demand special attention during the application of a numerical algorithm. In this thesis project, we develop exact Riemann solvers for the one-dimensional Ripa model, containing shallow water equations that incorporate horizontal temperature gradients and considering both flat and non flat bottom topographies. Such Riemann solvers are helpful for understanding the behavior of solutions, as these solutions contain fundamental physical and mathematical characters of the set of conservation laws. Such solvers are also very helpful for evaluating performance of the numerical schemes for more complex models. Afterwards, third order well-balanced finite volume weighted essentially non-oscillatory (FV WENO) schemes are applied to solve the same model equations in one and two space dimensions and a Runge-Kutta discontin uous Galerkin (RKDG) finite element method is applied to solve this model in one space dimension. In the case of compressible fluid flow models, an upwind conservation element and solution element (CE/SE) method and third order finite volume WENO schemes are applied to solve the dusty gas and two-phase flow models. The suggested numerical schemes are able to tackle the above mentioned associated difficulties in a more efficient manner. The accuracy and order of convergence of the proposed numerical schemes are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. A number of numerical test problems are considered and results of the suggested numerical schemes are compared with the derived exact Riemann solutions, results available in the literature, and with the results of a high resolution central upwind (CUP) scheme.
