    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Amarah Niazi for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Anthropology presented on June 12, 2012 Title: Expressions of Modernity in Rural Pakistan: Searching for Emic Perspectives. Abstract approved: _____________________________________ Sunil Khanna This dissertation examines women’s lives in a rapidly urbanizing rural community in Southern Pakistan to understand their responses to modernity in developing societies. Applying a mixed-methods approach, socio-demographic data is collected and contrasted with oral history and personal narratives to analyze social change through women’s access to education and reproductive health care in the village. The results are framed within a post-modern and post-colonial feminist anthropological discourse to reveal that Sheherpind represents a model of ‘multiple modernities’ where women’s agency and progress could only be contextualized in non-western, local cultural perspectives. Emerging trends in the village are evaluated for their ‘Applied’ significance to underscore areas of local, national and transnational policy significance. ©Copyright by Amarah Niazi June 12, 2012 All Rights Reserved Expressions of Modernity in Rural Pakistan: Searching for Emic Perspectives by Amarah Niazi A DISSERTATION Submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Presented June 12, 2012 Commencement June 2013 Doctor of Philosophy dissertation of Amarah Niazi presented on June 12, 2012.

Received: 1 March 2020; Accepted: 18 March 2020; Published: 20 March 2020 Abstract: With the surge of ubiquitous demand for high-complexity and quality mobile Internet-of-things (IoT) services, new cooperative relaying paradigms have emerged. Motivated by the long and unpredictable end-to-end communication in relay-aided IoT networks, there is a need to introduce novel modulation schemes for very low bit error rate (BER) communications. In this paper, a practical modulation mapping scheme has been proposed to reduce decoding errors. Specifically, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) system has been used with an intermediate relay to transfer a message from a source to a destination.

    Transformational Leadership and Corporate Reputation | 184 Transformational Leadership and Corporate Reputation: Mediation Effects of Employer Branding Muhammad Zeeshan1 Tariq Waheed Qureshi2 Shahid Bashir3 Usman Ahmed4 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of transformational leadership and corporate reputation on employer branding by testing a hypothesized model. This study employed a quantitative online survey technique. The researcher distributed 350 questionnaires through purposive sampling out of which 132 questionnaires received back for data analysis. Regression analysis was selected to analyze the collected data to test the hypothesis developed from past literature. Results validate that transformational leadership has an impact on employer branding and employer branding has a direct impact on corporate reputation but correlation amid transformational leadership and business reputation goes insignificant when added employer branding showing full mediation of this variable. The present study backs the writings of business reputation that can be developed through transformational leadership and employer branding. The findings would be helpful for organizational leaders in developing strategies to create a corporate reputation.
