This thesis investigates how media narratives about the Indian and Pakistani military tensions across the border carry on to affect public perception, using the 2019 Pulwama Balakot crisis as a case study. The research design is a mixed method combining content analysis of 200 news articles and survey responses from 600 people in both countries reveals how mainstream media coverage of this conflict is dominated and shaped by the prevalent pattern from conflict oriented framing, aggressive tone and emotionally charged language. The results indicate a significant media reliance on or prioritization of state aligned sources such as military and political elites, at the expense of civilian voices and peace promoting perspectives, across both Indian and Pakistani media. An analysis of the audience survey reveals that public sentiment is shaped extensively by these narratives, promoting skepticism of the other nation and bolstering support for military solutions over diplomacy. In addition, the research shows how digital platforms like Twitter and YouTube have begun helping to reinforce discourses of nationalism. These results emphasize the role of ethical, conflict sensitive journalism in these conflicts and suggest that current media practice is exacerbating the cycle as opposed to fostering a resolution. This research contributes to the literature on media, nationalism and conflict by offering a comparative and empirical approach to how two historically adverse states shape and distribute war narratives.

Economic stability is remained on topmost priority of every country, and different measures were suggested by the researchers worldwide, by moving on the same track study was carried out to predict the currency valuation factors, data were collected from export promotion bureau, state bank of Pakistan, and ministry of finance for 25 years (1989-2013), by using linear regression; currency valuation as dependent variable, exports, changes in external debt, and total reserves as independent variables and concluded that only the exports of Pakistan is a right predictor of currency valuation of the country which policy makers must have incorporate in formation of economic policies and setting the targets before fiscal policy.

The main objective of this research is to investigate the capital structure determinants of Pakistani banks working at national and international levels. The purpose was to explore which variables influence the capital structure more. Data was gathered from the published report of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) website from the period 2010-2019 year. Twenty-four bank reports were compiled and analyzed who work at national and international levels. Eviews software was used to analyze the data in which descriptive, covariance correlation, and regression analysis were carried through by Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. The results show that all five independent variables have a negative relationship except firm size on leverage which could be due to the firms' nature of business. This research concluded that ROA has a substantial negative impact on leverage; as ROA increase, it will reduce the leverage. TGB has a moderate negative, and GTH and INF have a weak negative on leverage, meaning TGB, GTH, and INF increases will reduce the leverage. SZ has a weak positive impact on leverage means Size will impact positively as size increases, and it will also increase leverage.

The paper concerns itself with the mediatory effect of employee engagement on the connection between Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices and the results of organizational sustainability. The research relies on the results of the data collected among 412 employees in various industries to use structural equation modeling to test the planned relationships. As the results conclude, GHRM practices have significant direct and indirect effects on the outcomes of organizational sustainability because employees increase their engagement. The positive effect of the GHRM practices was also found higher when there is a high rate of employee engagement which indicates that the engaged employee serves as a driver in the implementation and maintenance of environmental initiatives in the organization. Moreover, sector-level analyses provided evidence of differences in strength of these relationships, arguing the case to be made on context sensitive HR strategies. The research provides theoretical contribution by proving the importance of employee engagement as an essential mediator, which supports Social Exchange Theory and triple bottom line approach. In practice, findings point to the need of organizations to combine green HR programs with initiatives that ensure effective employee loyalty and involvement. The study gives practical solutions that an HR manager should take in aspects of performance appraisals, green training and rewards that consider environmental-friendly conducts. The work contributes to the discussion on sustainable organization operations and gives a base to future studies of cross-cultural and technological aspects of GHRM.
