نواب اخترؔ یارجنگ
حیدرآباد میں اودھ کے ایک مشہور ممتاز مینائی خاندان کے فرد فرید نے بھی ہماری دنیائے فانی کو الوداع کہا، منشی امیر احمد صاحب امیر مینائی کے خلف الرشید نواب اختر یار جنگ بہادر جنہوں نے دکن میں امیر مرحوم کی وفات کے بعد سے دکن کو شاہ دکن کی نوازشوں سے اپنا وطن بنالیا تھا اور معتمد امور مذہبی کی حیثیت سے سینکڑوں مفید خدمات انجام دیں اور ہر نیک کام کی امداد میں سبقت کی اور اب چند سال سے پنشن پاکر عزت کی زندگی بسر کررہے تھے، اب وہ ہمیشہ کے لیے بزم حیات سے رخصت ہوگئے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی نیک خدمات کا نیک صلہ عنایت فرمائے، وہ شاعر بھی تھے اور اختر تخلص کرتے تھے۔ (سید سلیمان ندوی،جولائی ۱۹۴۰ء)

 

Academic Stress Among Pre-University Students of The Social Science Stream: A Study in Poonch Azad Jammu And Kashmir

Academic-related demands that exceed students’ adaptive capabilities are collectively known as academic stress. High levels of academic stress are associated with an increased likelihood of depression, insomnia, substance addiction, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and subsequently, quitting education. Globally, academic stress is now a common phenomenon due to COVID-19-induced changes in the education system. Knowledge of the magnitude of academic stress and its factors can enable early recognition, intervention, and alleviation of the problem. The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude of perceived academic stress and identify the main stressors through a cross-sectional survey using the Manipal Inventory of Academic Stress scale. The study participants involved 2152 Grade 11 and 12 Commerce students enrolled in 34 pre-university colleges in Poonch AJK. A stratified cluster sampling method was used in the study. Statistical methods, namely descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression analysis, two-sample independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA tests, were used in the study. The study observed that one in every four pre-university students experienced high levels of perceived academic stress.Parent expectations, academic queries from neighbors and relatives, and lack of time for revision were identified as the top three stressors. Gender, grade, and mother’s education were associated with academic stress. Interventions at the individual, family, institutional, and community levels are the need of the hour to safeguard adolescents from negative experiences that might deprive them of wellness in their future.

Consumer Ethical Decision Making in Pakistan

In a typical retail setting, consumers face numerous situations that involve ethical decision making. The situations may range from choice between pirated and patent registered products to use of others’ membership card to order a product. The literature on consumer ethics is growing in size and popularity since 1990’s however the consumer ethics literature and ethical decision making is an under research area in developing countries like Pakistan. The purpose of the study is to examine the ethical decision making process using general theory of marketing ethics and linking it with theories of moral intensity, moral philosophy, neutralization techniques and self-conscious emotions. The study is positivist in nature that involves data collection on a scenario based questionnaire, from 726 retail consumers in Pakistan through online and field survey. The study uses descriptive statistics, correlation, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling to analyze the data. The results confirm that consumers in Pakistan have a positive influence of moral intensity on their self-conscious emotions. Social anxiety is found to play a positive role in both samples whereas private self-conscious emotions are found to be effective in only online survey. It is found that consumers’ self-conscious emotions may or may not lead to the development of neutralization techniques by them. However, the use of neutralization techniques is found to be positively associated with ethical judgement regardless of its harmful and harmless ethical dimensions. The consumers scoring high on moral intensity, moral philosophy and self-conscious emotions are found to be more considerate in their ethical judgement that in turn positively influences their behavioural intentions. The study is first of its kinds that has linked rational and non-rational aspects and contributes towards the literature on consumer ethical decision making by incorporating moral, emotional and neutralization dimensions at large and in the context of developing countries specifically Pakistan. The study recommends the launch of educational programs and awareness campaigns highlighting importance of ethical conduct plus rules and regulations to safe guard businesses from delinquent behaviour of retail consumers
