The current study explores if, and how, camouflaging is related to interpersonal functioning among healthcare providers in a high-stakes clinical context. Camouflaging is a process that many people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to do, where we mask or camouflage our autistic characteristics to fit into what is deemed socially acceptable by neurotypical. Even though camouflaging might make professional experiences slightly easier, such shining armor leaves a mental health wake of exhaustion, anxiety, and depression. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample population of 236 medical professionals (positivist research approach). Central to findings are a robust relationship between camouflaging and both interpersonal functioning and mental health outcomes over time. The results emphasize the importance of creating a culture in health organizations conducive to professionals with neurodiversity, normalizing esoteric illness experiences, and allowing space for the multiplicity of meaning inherent to being human. Implementing neurodiversity initiatives can boost employee health, interrelations, and patient care in healthcare organizations. The study is beneficial for healthcare academicians and practitioners to understand the severity of the issue and to devise ways and means to eradicate this menace. However, the results of this study could not be comprehensive in the sense that it was conducted with a very limited sample, while future studies need to use a large sample size to generalize the results. It is hereby suggested that in future studies could be conducted in different regions throughout the country.

This study examines the nexus between inflation, Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF), and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on economic growth in Pakistan, utilizing annual time-series data from 2010 to 2023. Employing descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, the findings highlight a significant negative impact of inflation on GDP growth, whereas GFCF and FDI positively influence economic expansion. The results underscore the pivotal role of capital formation and foreign investments in fostering sustainable economic development, while emphasizing the detrimental effects of inflation on economic performance. Policy recommendations include targeted inflation control measures, enhanced investment in infrastructure, and strategies to attract FDI to achieve stable and inclusive growth. These findings contribute valuable insights to the understanding of macroeconomic dynamics in developing economies like Pakistan.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how digitalization affects inclusivity and workforce resilience within higher education institutions (HEIs). Based on a quantitative research design, data were collected by administering structured questionnaires to faculty members of both public and private universities in Dera Ismail Khan. Digitalization features the next inclusivity in a workspace and makes it less susceptible to weakening workforce resilience by democratizing access to knowledge and fostering collaborative opportunities. At the same time, digital solutions come with challenges as digitalization can widen the digital divide through disparities in technology access and proficiency. It reinforces the need to distribute resources accordingly in terms of digital tools and training within HEIs to leverage transformations optimally. This fieldwork should be supplemented with further in-depth research across more varied institutions, examining long-term effects.
