The teachers are dynamic force of education system. Policy makers, district and school leaders, parents, all are increasingly concerned about the improvement of the quality of education. Effectiveness in learning and sound foundation of an educated society can be possible by the committed role of teachers. So, availability of effective teachers in making an efficient education system is a prerequisite. Teachers? education and training programs are being offered by different institutions in Pakistan. The purpose of these trainings is to develop teachers who are professionally competent. Quaid-e-Azam Academy for Education Development provides in-service training for public sector school teachers to enhance their professional competence. This study was conducted to evaluate the impacts of continuous professional development programs conducted by Quaid-e-Azam Academy for Educational Development (QAED) on the professional skills of secondary school teachers. The population of the study comprised of secondary classes? teachers of high schools of district Gujranwala. A sample of 200 teachers, 150 teachers for questionnaire (75 trained and 75 untrained) and 50 teachers for observation (25 trained and 25 untrained), was selected from government high schools through convenient sampling techniques. Twenty-five head teachers were also selected for questionnaire through convenience sampling techniques from government high schools. Data was collected through personal observation and questionnaire. Descriptive statistics such as means and inferential statistics such as Chi Square were used to describe the data. It was concluded that there was a significant association between the training and performance of secondary school teachers. The teachers who received in-service training through QAED were found more effective in their performance. It is suggested that in-service training must be arranged for all the teachers to prepare skilled teachers to improve students? performance. To get maximum output from in service trainings, there should be proper monitoring system by higher authorities.

یہ محبت اور شفقت آپؐ کی

یہ محبت اور شفقت آپؐ کی
ہم تو چاہیں صرف نسبت آپؐ کی

سب جہانوں ، سب زمانوں پر محیط
اور کیا ہے ؟ صرف رحمت آپؐ کی

آپؐ ہی پر تو نبوت ختم ہے
تا قیامت ہے نبوت آپؐ کی

کامیابی دُنیا و عقبیٰ کی کیا؟
کچھ نہیں ہے ، بس ہدایت آپؐ کی

آپؐ کے رستے پہ چلنا شرط ہے
مستند ہے گو شفاعت آپؐ کی

زَمِلُونی زَمِلُونی کی صدا
اے خدیجہؓ ! وُہ سعادت آپؓ کی

اے ابو بکرؓ و علیؓ و زیدؓ پاک
وُہ سعادت اور وُہ سبقت آپؓ کی

سب ہی سرشارِ نگاہِ خاص ہیں
کیسی بابرکت ہے صحبت آپؐ کی

وُہ حرا سے پھوٹنے والی کرن
روشنی جیسی شریعت آپؐ کی

نعت لکھنا، نعت پڑھنا کچھ نہیں
معتبر ہے بس، سماعت آپؐ کی

سورۃ الحجرات کے تناظر میں اسلامی معاشرے کے خدوخال

In this article, some basic elements of Islamic society have been clarified in the light of Surah Al Hujurāt.  Just as a solid foundation of a building is essential for a strong building, so a strong foundation is essential for a successful society and a strong foundation of an Islamic society has its principles, which are derived from the Qur'an and Hadith. Since these principles are important for the well-being and development of the Muslim society, their observance is necessary for the Muslim society.  This article presents a picture of an ideal society in the light of Surah Al Hujurāt. Have presented the following topics in this article:  Role of leadership and its elements, unity of Islamic society, ethics and beliefs are some of the principles discussed in this article. The research concludes that the principles stated in Surah Al Hujurāt play a vital role in establishing a stable Islamic society.

Physiological Aspects of High Fat Diet Induced Metabolic Stress in Rats

Diet has a great impact on human health. Consumption of high caloric diet (rich in fat) may lead to obesity and metabolic disorders associated with inflammation. High fat diet (HFD) is associated with epidemic development of metabolic disorders. It can trigger dysbiosis which, may lead towards cellular stress development by increasing intestinal epithelial permeability, inflammation and metabolic syndrome. Manifestation of gut associated metabolic disorders may be causally linked with numerous chronic diseases such as, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis), Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome, insulin resistance and ultimately cancer. However, the exact mechanisms underlying HFD induced obesity remained unexplored. Thus, the current research was planned to evaluate the effects of HFD on different physiological aspects, pathophysiology of gut and metabolic stress. For this purpose HFD (15% and 30% Margarine: Blue Band®) feeding was done in Wistar rats for a period of 6 weeks (42 days). Blood sampling were thus done for evaluating lipid profile, serum glucose concentration and other biochemical analysis. Tissue sampling was conducted during different intervals of the experimental period to perform histopathology, fat staining, immunohistochemistry, cellular ROS and gene expression analysis. The data was statistically analyzed by two-way ANOVA and DMR. Results revealed significant role of HFD in elevating body weight (147.71±9.50 g), serum cholesterol (63.55±1.71 mg/dl), LDL (28.81±2.92 mg/dl) and triglycerides (70.05±2.51 mg/dl) compared to control group having body weight (137.24±6.11 g), serum cholesterol (52.48±0.84 mg/dl), LDL (19.25±2.57 mg/dl) and triglycerides (55.76±2.89 mg/dl) respectively. The onset of inflammation was observed in response to HFD feeding even after a short time period in gut. Apparently, the induction was triggered by HFD mediated stress response. The role of cellular stress pathways and calcium is crucial in underlying mechanism of ROS production, as high expression levels of MAPK-8, Traf-4, Traf-6, Calm-2, Grk-2 and Pias-2 genes were detected in HFD treatment groups as compared to that of control group. High E.coli count due to HFD consumption also demonstrated its role in alteration of gut microbiota. Overall, HFD has a major effect on different aspects of intestinal physiology and it induces obesity which is accompanied by oxidative stress due to alteration of gut physiology.
