    Long range communication using stimulated radiation of visible light
    (University of Management and Technology, 2017) Mahmood, Imran
    Laser communication is new wireless technology that transmits the audio or sound signal from one Source to another source by the laser beam of the system. The system can probably transmit audio and sound much faster than the other systems. And can transmit data up to 1 GB per second. Just because of this it became more famous and well-known system than any other. Laser communication is an enormous field. But it is still need line of sight for sake of communication. This technology isn’t introduced in Pakistan at that level just because of this problem. But it has been established as a very valuable technology in advanced countries. In Pakistan optical fiber and RF are being used which also have great drawback that these can be jammed. So by using laser communication at some height will end up the problem of line of sight. And it can also never be jammed.

    (University of Management and Technology, 2017) Mahmood, Imran
    The current research study investigated the relationship among music absorption, Spirituality, and serenity in university students.

It was co-relational research with cross-sectional design. The data from 165 university students (70 men, 95 women) were collected from different universities with the age range of 20-30 (M = 21.73, SD = 1.73) and purposive sampling technique was used. Music absorption scale (AIMS) (Sandstrom, Russo, 2011), expression of spirituality inventory (ESI) (MacDonald, 2000), brief serenity scale (BSS) (Kreitzer, Mary Jo, et al, 2009), and short test of music preference (STOMP) (Rentfrow & Gosling 2013) were used as measurement tools. The Pearson product moment correlation analysis revealed music absorption to be significantly positively correlated with serenity, and spirituality, it was also found to be significantly positively correlated with music absorption and serenity. The result of mediation analysis (indirect effect) showed that spirituality was significant a mediator between music absorption and serenity. Music along with spirituality or spiritual healing technique can be very helpful in various psychological treatments. Furthermore music therapy technique can be used for recalling past events.
