Abstract

This study delves into the perceptions of e-commerce fraud in Pakistan by assessing the risks and preventive measures against such fraudulent activities. Employing a robust methodology that encompasses surveying a diverse group of stakeholders in the Pakistani e-commerce sector, this study scrutinizes their perspectives and experiences. The findings reveal a heightened concern regarding fraudulent practices, significantly challenging the industry's integrity and consumer trust. This concern is exacerbated by the rapid growth of e-commerce, making fraud prevention a critical issue. The study's statistical analysis sheds light on the prevalent types of fraud and their impact on consumers and businesses and evaluates the effectiveness of current prevention strategies. This conclusion draws attention to the need for more robust, multifaceted approaches to combat e-commerce fraud. Recommendations have been proposed to enhance fraud detection and prevention mechanisms. These include adopting advanced technological solutions, increasing consumer awareness, and implementing strict regulatory measures.

Abstract

Renewable energy is a prominent concept that encompasses various forms, such as solar photovoltaics, wind power, and geothermal energy. Although less familiar, animate energy resources, which include human beings and animals, may also be seen as being explored. While animal-based renewable energy generation may appear novel, different research articles, patents, and a couple of commercially available products have been developed. For the specific case of dairy farms, harnessing this resource can be coupled with appropriate exercise regimens for cows, which may lead to clean energy, animal welfare, and even potential benefits for human health. These efforts align with the sustainable development goals (SDG) of the United Nations, specifically SDG 3 and SDG 7. However, ethical concerns regarding the use of animals for energy production as well as the potential and clean nature of this resource need to be thoroughly investigated before it can be exploited on a larger scale. This research paper aims to identify deficiencies in the current relevant body of knowledge and to present requirements for future research efforts that may help tap into this resource. By exploring the potential of animate energy resources, we may contribute towards sustainable energy production while promoting animal welfare and human health.
