The study focused on assessing the effectiveness of Associate Degree in Education Program offered by Teacher Training Institutions in Khyber PakhtunKhwa (KP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The study was designed to meet the following objectives; (i) to examine the perceptions of stakeholders (Principals, Instructors, Prospective Teachers and Alumni students) regarding effectiveness of ADE program. (ii) To find out the perceptions of stakeholders regarding effectiveness of ADE Program across the different demographic Variables (Gender and Region). (iii) To identify the Strengths and Weakness of ADE Program. To meet those objectives, three research questions were drawn from literature which is given below; (i) Is ADE Program effective as perceived by the stakeholders? (iii) Is there any significant difference among the perceptions of Principals, Teachers, Prospective Teachers and Alumni Students regarding the effectiveness of ADE program across gender and region?(iii)What are the strength and Weakness of ADE Program?. The Study was mixed method in nature. For this purpose, the study utilize the Sequential design through which firstly, the quantitative data and secondly, the qualitative data were gathered and then mixed both data to address the stated research questions. A sample of 14 Principals, 97 Teachers, 191 Prospective teachers and 320 alumni students were selected from KP whereas 04 Principals, 28 Teachers, 86 Prospective teachers and 92 Alumni students selected from FATA for the study. The overall sample comprised of eight Hundred and thirty two (832) individuals. Sixteen participants (8 from KP and 8 from FATA) were selected for interview from both regions. A cluster sampling technique was used to select the sample. The data were collected through questionnaire, Checklist and interview. The validity and the reliability of the research instruments were observed through pilot testing. Validity of qualitative data is confirmed through triangulation, credibility and free from personal biases. The reliability score of the questionnaire was .913. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentage) and inferential statistic (One Sample and Independent Sample t-test and ANOVA). The Qualitative data were analyzed from the extract and narrative of the stakeholders by breaking it into common codes and themes. The major findings of the study revealed that overall ADE program is an effective as perceived by the stakeholders. The stakeholders show satisfaction regarding program duration. ADE program enhance the content and professional knowledge of student teachers. The stakeholders satisfied with all components (Admission criteria, duration, facilities, Curriculum, assessment procedures, teaching methods and practicum) of ADE program. There is no coordination between the universities and training institutions. There are no research activities in the teacher training institutions at elementary level. Institutions were failed to arranged triad meetings and seminars regarding Practicum. The major recommendations suggested from the findings are (i) University properly coordinates meeting with the RITEs and GCETs. University developed communication structure (meetings and seminars) with institutions. (ii) Reasonable budget may be allocated by Government in every fiscal year to support and strengthen the teacher training institutions. (iii) Institutions should arrange triad meetings and seminars regarding practicum in which prospective teachers present their problems faced in practicum.

مولانا مفتی محمد عتیق فرنگی محلی

مولانا مفتی محمد عتیق فرنگی محلی
مولانا مفتی محمد عتیق کا سانحہ وفات بھی مذہبی اور علمی حلقوں کے لئے باعث رنج و افسوس ہے، ہر چند کہ وہ عمر طبعی کو پہنچ چکے تھے، اور عرصہ سے بیمار رہتے تھے لیکن اس قحط الرجال کے زمانہ میں ان کا دم بساغنیمت تھا، وہ فرنگی محل کے اس خانوادہ سے تعلق رکھتے تھے، جس نے کئی سو برس سے تعلیم و تدریس، تصنیف و تالیف اور ارشاد و ہدایت کی شمع روشن رکھی ہے، اس خاندان کے فیوض و برکات سے ہندوستان ہی نہیں بلکہ دوسرے ممالک بھی مستفید ہوتے رہے ہیں۔
ملا نظام الدین کا مجوزہ نصاب تعلیم ایسا مقبول ہوا کہ سینکڑوں برس سے عربی مدارس میں رائج ہے، اور درس نظامی کی تکمیل دستار فضیلت کے حصول کے لئے ضروری سمجھی جاتی ہے، اس دو ڈھائی سو برس میں ساری دنیا میں انقلاب برپا ہوگیا، اور تعلیمی نصاب میں غیرمعمولی ردوبدل ہوا، لیکن ہندوستان میں عربی مدارس کی بڑی تعداد اب بھی درس نظامی پر جمی ہوئی ہے، یہ ملا نظام الدین اور ان کے جانشینوں کے خلوص اور کمال علم و عمل کا اثر ہے کہ عوام و خواص سب اس خاندان کی حلقہ بگوشی کو باعث فخر سمجھتے رہے، مل بحرالعلوم نے جب جنوبی ہند کا رخ کیا تو نواب ارکاٹ استقبال کے لئے آگے بڑھے اور ان کی پالکی کو کاندھا دیا۔
مولانا محمد عتیق صاحب اسی خاندان عالی کے ایک ممتاز فرد تھے، اس خاندان میں علم و عمل کا ایسا اجتماع رہا کہ فرنگی محل دارالعلوم کہلایا، ملا نظام الدین علمی کمال کے ساتھ شاہ عبدالرزاق ہانسوی سے ارادت رکھتے تھے، اس طرح اس خاندان میں علم و معرفت، معقول و منقول اور فقرو درویشی کا ہمیشہ اجتماع رہا۔ مغربی علوم و فنون کی چمک دمک سے سبھی...

A Robust Scheme of Vertebrae Segmentation for Medical Diagnosis

Automated vertebrae analysis from medical images plays an important role in computer aided diagnosis (CAD). It provides an initial and early identification of various vertebral abnormalities to doctors and radiologists. Vertebrae segmentation and classification are important but difficult tasks in medical imaging due to low contrasts in image, noise and high topological shape variations in radiological scans. It becomes even more challenging when dealing with various deformities and pathologies present in the vertebral scans like osteoporotic vertebral fractures. In this work, we want to address the challenging problem of vertebral image analysis for vertebra segmentation and classification. In the past, various traditional imagery techniques were employed to address these problems. Recently, deep learning techniques have been introduced in biomedical image processing for segmentation and characterization of several abnormalities. These techniques are becoming popular in solving various medical image analysis problems due to their robustness and accuracy. In this research, we present a solution of vertebrae segmentation and classification problem with the help of deep learning approach. We present a novel combination of traditional region based level-set with deep learning framework in order to extract the shape of vertebral bones accurately; which would be able to handle the deformities in the vertebral bones precisely and efficiently. After vertebrae segmentation, we further extend the work to abnormal vertebrae classification with the help of deep learning approach. This novel framework would be able to help the medical doctors and radiologists with better visualization of vertebral bones and providing the initial automated classification of vertebrae to be normal or abnormal. The proposed method of vertebrae segmentation was successfully tested on different datasets with various fields of views. The first dataset comprises of 173 CT scans of thoracolumbar (thoracic and lumbar) vertebrae in sagittal view, collected from a local hospital. The second dataset comprises 73 CT scans of cervical vertebrae in sagittal view, also collected from a local hospital. The third dataset comprises 20 CT scans of thoracolumbar (thoracic and lumbar) vertebrae in sagittal view collected from spine segmentation challenge CSI 2014. The forth dataset comprises 25 CT scans of lumbar vertebrae in sagittal view collected from spine segmentation challenge CSI 2016. Lastly, we have utilized the same locally collected set of 173 CT scans of thoracolumbar (thoracic and lumbar) vertebrae and extracted in axial view to perform the segmentation task.For classification purpose, we have utilized the locally collected set of 173 CT scans of thoracolumbar (thoracic and lumbar) vertebrae as these include osteoporotic vertebral fractures in it. The details of these datasets have been presented in respective sections. We have achieved promising results on our proposed techniques. The evaluation of the segmentation performance on the datasets with various machines and field of views helped us to ensure the robustness of our proposed method. On validation sets of these datasets, we have achieved an average dice score of around 95% for vertebrae segmentation; and accuracy of above 80% for the vertebrae classification. The detailed results have been presented in the results section. These results reveal that our proposed techniques are competitive over the other state of the arts in terms of accuracy, efficiency, flexibility and time.
