Greenhouse gases emissions due to climate change are a continuous threat to the global world, mainly relying on the pervasive consumption of numerous products, including synthetic and non-synthetic products. This research focused on the green purchase intentions of students in Pakistan towards different products, which are related to minimising the greenhouse effect and are available for sale on numerous e-commerce websites, ultimately proceeding to green entrepreneurship. The main objective of this study was to determine which methodology was better among product listing, social media advertising, and online virtual community to enhance customer online green purchase intention while considering online information about the greenhouse effect as a mediating variable. The AMOS 24 was used for this research. SEM was performed with the help of bootstrap methodology. The research was conducted on 280 students at different educational institutes in Pakistan, using a simple random sampling technique. A finding of this study suggested that all three methods positively impacted the green purchase intention of consumers and green entrepreneurship, but online virtual communities could be considered in a more effective way to enhance the green purchase intention of its targeted customers.

Methodology: The data was collected from a sample of size 167 pregnant women using self-structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was based on two sections. The questionnaire was tested using Cronbach alpha. The data was collected using convenient sampling. The frequency distribution of the risk factors was given. The binary logistic regression analysis was performed to access the major risk factors that enhance the odds for asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women. Results: The past history of UTI was seen as a significant risk factor. The overall incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was found in 22 pregnant women and among these, approximately 9% had past history of UTI. About 44.9% of the pregnant women showed a past history of UTI. Conclusion: Most of the pregnant women fall in the age group 26-32 years. The significant factor is age group for asymptomatic bacteriuria. Advancement in age enhance the odds for the asymptomatic bacteriuria. History of UTI is found as a significant risk factor.
