    Peace
    (UMT.Lahore, 2021) Noor ul Ain
    With the passing time, humans are becoming more introverts. Everyone wants their privacy even if they’re in their own homes. Most people want peace after returning to their homes after full day of work. A penthouse is a great way to get away from the loud roaring cities. As well as enjoying its benefits and advantages at the same time. This is also mainly the reason why I chose this topic as interior design has given the world a new perspective in regards to how the human world is associated with the surroundings to interact with. Thus, I’ll be designing this penthouse under this perspective. The penthouses are an under-studied component of interior design. This study identifies differenttypes of contemporary professionally designed luxury penthouses in the world and also sheds light on the existing penthouses in Pakistan. The purpose of this study is to propose something that is not common here in Pakistan. The pent houses in Pakistan compared to the whole world seem to be very traditional and basic, missing the luxury, elegance and aesthetics. The research model includes two approaches. The first one is to focus on the penthouses that are already inPakistan. Second, To check out the penthouses in the world and to look what lacks in the pent houses in Pakistan. Thus, that we can approach them with new ideas and a brand-new proposal with our skills and talents to amplify a harmless, aesthetic and pleasurable aura for the people living in the space by planning researches, coordinating and managing such enhancement projects. The critical approach focuses on the contemporary interior design practices of professional designers. The main goal of this proposal ‘peace’ would be to create something different than what is already in Pakistan and to showcase the understanding of design as a mere tool to create better interiors then any ordinary space and to gather peace, beauty and aesthetics into one place. This study will examine penthouse environments by summarizing discourses about patterns, typologies, practice and/or hypothesis in contemporary design usage and give a comprehensive argument about different precedents in penthouse design. This research is systematic, comprehensive and explores primary source materials.

    Self-objectification, growth mindset, social support, and psychological distress in unmarried women with polycystic ovary syndrome
    (UMT, Lahore, 2025) Noor ul Ain; Shiza Anwar; Namra Javed
    Current study aimed to investigate the association among self-objectification, growth mindset, social support, and psychological distress in unmarried women with (PCOS) in Pakistan and to assess the predictive role of self-objectification, growth mindset and social support for psychological distress. Cross-sectional correlational research was conducted and sample was drawn using purposive sampling and snowball sampling technique. A total of 115 (N=115) participants were selected for the study who met the specific inclusion criteria. The tools used for study were objectified body consciousness scale (McKinley & Hyde, 1996), growth mindset scale (Dweck, 2006), multidimensional scale of perceived social support (Zimet et al., 1988), and depression, anxiety, and stress scale (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). The analysis conducted include normality analysis, reliability analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchal regression analysis. The results showed that body shame was positively correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress whereas control belief was negatively correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress. Social support was negatively correlated with anxiety and depression. Body shame and control belief were predictors of depression. Body shame, control belief, and social support were predictors of anxiety. Whereas, social support was predictor of stress. For future implications a comparative study on married and unmarried women with PCOS can be done for further explorations.

    UNLOCKING THE KNOWLEDGE HIDING AND PERFORMANCE RELATIONSHIP THE ROLES OF EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND POLITICAL SKILL
    (UMT, Lahore, 2022) Noor ul Ain
    As an emerging novelty, knowledge hiding has received considerate attention recently. The increasing interest of researchers and practitioners alike in this phenomenon has instigated the need to explore the effects of knowledge hiding in predicting employee well-being in the organizations. Extending this area, the current thesis examined the mechanism of how and when the targets of knowledge hiding struggle to maintain their job performance. Drawing on conservation of resource theory, this study investigated the relationship between knowledge hiding and job performance (in-role & extra-role) and also considered emotional exhaustion as a key underlying psychological mechanism between knowledge hiding and performance linkage. In addition, it investigated the moderating role of political skill and emotional intelligence in influencing this mediation.
