آہ ڈاکٹر عبدالرّب عرفان!
قارئین معارف کو یہ سن کر بڑا افسوس ہوگا کہ ڈاکٹر عبدالرب عرفان ۳۰؍ اپریل کو انتقال کرگئے، وہ معارف کے بڑے قدر دانوں اور خاص مضمون نگار اور دارالمصنفین شبلی اکیڈمی سے گہرا تعلق رکھتے تھے، اردو، فارسی کے عالم اور ان زبانوں کی ادبیات کی تاریخ سے اچھی واقفیت رکھتے تھے، ہندوستان کے عہد اسلامی کی تاریخ پر ان کی نظر تھی، اس عہد کے سلاطین و مشائخ اور علماء و فضلاء کے حالات و تراجم سے ان کو بڑی دلچسپی تھی اور اس پر ان کے مضامین ملک کے بلند پایہ رسالوں میں شائع ہوتے تھے مگر معارف پر ان کی نظر عنایت زیادہ تھی۔ اس شمارے میں بھی ان کا ایک مضمون شامل ہے اور ابھی دو ایک اور مضامین میری فائل میں ہوں گے۔
میری ان کی ملاقات کبھی نہیں ہوئی مگر خط و کتابت رہتی تھی، ان کے خطوط سے اندازہ ہوتا تھا کہ ان کے دل میں میری کتنی قدر و محبت اور معارف سے ان کو کیسا والہانہ لگاؤ تھا۔ مجھے ان کے حالات زندگی سے کوئی واقفیت نہیں تھی ان کے ایک ہم وطن جناب فیروز حیدری کے خط سے معلوم ہوا کہ انہوں نے کامٹی کے ایم۔ایم ربانی ہائی اسکول سے میٹرک کا امتحان امتیازی نمبر سے پاس کیا تھا۔ اور مارس کالج ناگپور سے بی۔اے کیا تھا۔ پھر فارسی زبان و ادب میں ایم۔اے میں امتیازی نمبر ہی نہیں بلکہ گولڈ میڈل کے بھی حق دار قرار پائے تھے، ۱۹۶۱ء میں ودبھ مہاودیالیہ امراؤتی میں فارسی کے استاد کی حیثیت سے ان کا تقرر ہوا اور بہت جلد شعبہ فارسی کے صدر بنائے گئے، ۱۹۸۲ء میں ان کا تبادلہ ناگپور میں وسنت راؤناٹک گورنمنٹ انسٹی ٹیوٹ آف آرٹس اینڈ سوشل سائنسز (سابق مارس کالج) ہوگیا۔ ڈاکٹر عبدالرب عرفان طبعاً شریف، سادہ مزاج،...
To general public, all videos are perceived to be true, but they may not have probative value in the Court of law. The undertaken article analyzes the admissibility and probative value of a video presented as evidence before a court in the Criminal Justice System of Pakistan (CJSP). It analyzes the relevant law and diagnoses the problems with the video evidence through the lens of the judgments of Superior Courts. The court of law objectively ascertains that a video presented as evidentiary means bears significant relevance to the fact in question. It must be admissible under the law, and it must be proved to be genuine. To fill up the gap between a “Video” and a “Video Evidence”, there is a process, which is known as video authentication. It determines that the video contents are genuine, authentic, credible, unaltered, untampered and unfabricated. The study discusses various modes of video authentication. Precedents set by superior courts of Pakistan show that convictions have been made once the courts are satisfied with the credibility of video evidence. In the court of law, video evidence is normally presented after the completion of prosecution evidence. The video is played in court and is watched by the presence. But the researcher establishes that such process does not have legal justification. The article suggests that it would be legal and proper for the prosecution to produce the video evidence through the witness, during his evidence, who is either victim, witness, recorded and/or copied the video directly from original source such as C.C.T.V system and that witness would be subjected to cross examination.
Among all the resources of an educational institution, teachers are unquestionably the most important.
Motivation plays a pivotal role in increasing the level of teacher's job satisfaction. Satisfied teachers in turn can
help in improving the performance of an educational institution.
The objectives of this study were to explore various factors of low motivation of teachers and to analyze the
effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors on teacher job satisfaction in public sector degree colleges
of Punjab, Pakistan.
This was an exploratory study based on primary data. Questionnaire was used to collect the primary data. The
profile of the respondents included all the teachers who were working in public sector degree colleges of
Punjab, Pakistan.
Regression Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique using Analysis of Moment Structure
(AMOS) 19.0 was applied. SPSS 19.0 was used for basic analysis purpose. The results of the study indicated that
although compensation and benefits package is an important factor of teacher's low motivation in public sector
degree colleges of Punjab, Pakistan, but there are also some non monetary factors for example, insufficient
opportunities to acquire new skills at job, lack of participation in job related decisions, over crowded class
rooms, unsatisfactory work environment, lack of pre-service and in-service training programs, unsatisfactory
recognition and feedback process which are contributing to low motivation of teachers in public sector degree
colleges of Punjab, Pakistan.
Study concluded that there is significant relationship between intrinsic motivational factors and teacher job
satisfaction. Similarly, statistically significant relationship is also found between extrinsic motivational factors
and teacher job satisfaction. However, it is found that teacher job satisfaction in largely caused by intrinsic
motivational factors as compare to extrinsic motivational factors. Moreover, significant difference is observed
between teacher's age, designation, teaching experience and teacher job satisfaction.
The study has recommended strategies about how management can utilize intrinsic and extrinsic motivational
factors as a tool to keep teachers motivated and satisfied in their jobs. The study also recommended ways by
which management can eliminate low motivation amongst teachers by improving their skills, knowledge and
competencies and by creating supporting learning environment, building good relationships between junior
and senior teachers and involving teachers in job related decisions.
The study seems to be very useful as it provides both, the theoretical implications for the researchers interested
in exploring job satisfaction in higher educational institutions in Pakistan as well as practical implications for
the higher authorities within public sector higher education set up in Pakistan.
