شہادتوں کے علم
شہادتوں کے علم جب بلند ہو جائیں
تو پھر جہان میں رسوا یزید ہوتے ہیں
عظیم باپ کی بیٹی بتا گئی شوکت
حسینؑ والے ہمیشہ شہید ہوتے ہیں
وطن کے ہر غریب کو جگا کے آپ سو گئی
شعور جب طلوع ہوا تو خود غروب ہو گئی
غریب قوم کے لیے وہ باپ کی سفیر تھی
نظیر جس کی نہ ملے وہ اتنی بے نظیر تھی
وفاق کی امنگ تھی عوام ہی کے سنگ تھی
کنیز کربلا کی بس یزیدیت سے جنگ تھی
بہا کے لے گئی ہر ستم کو اپنی موج سے
وہ کربلائے وقت میں ڈری نہیں ہے فوج سے
وہ آمروںکی گردنوں پہ نقش پا جما گئی
وہ بھٹو بھٹو کر کے سب کو بھٹو ہی بنا گئی
سنو لحد کی گود میں وہ صاحب مراد ہے
وہ کل بھی زندہ باد تھی وہ اب بھی زندہ باد ہے
سلام شہید رانی
Objective: In order to provide equal educational opportunities, community school networking is an emerging trend to facilitate inclusion of children with mild-moderate Autism. This quantitative research aims to investigate the effectiveness of community networking for children with Autism from Pakistani lower socio-economic stratum of society.
Study Design: Qualitative Research Design
Study Settings and Participants: Six mild-moderate autistic children were enrolled in three mainstreams schools and a liaison between these schools, and a rehabilitation center located in the same area was created to facilitate inclusion. The researchers interviewed six teachers from mainstream schools, three school administrators and one administrator of rehabilitation regarding the effectiveness of community school networking for children with Autism after eight months of this collaboration.
Data Collection Tool: Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews
Results: All participating administrators and teachers underscored the changes in social and behavioral patterns of autistic children which included an imitation of positive behaviors from peers, acceptance, and awareness as strengths of community school networking model. However, major challenges faced were unacceptability from parents of normal children, learning differences, curriculum modifications, time constraints and dependency on the resource teacher. The administrators and teachers recommended that creating awareness programs for parents of normal children, curriculum modifications and in-house psychologists can further facilitate inclusion of children with disabilities.
Conclusion: It was concluded that community school networking model can assist inclusive education and encourage engagement for all children, including those who are autistic.
The coccinellid ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae; Coleoptera) fauna of Gilgit- Baltistan was explored during present study. The taxonomic study of the collected beetles revealed twenty nine (29) species of coccinellid beetles in eighteen (18) genera and four (04) subfamilies from the province of Gilgit- Baltistan. Subfamily Chilocorinae represents four (04) species, subfamily Coccinellinae eighteen (18) species, subfamily Epilachninae three (03) species and subfamily Scymninae four (04) species. Among these, seventeen (17) species are new records for the study area including five (05) new records to Pakistan. The newly recorded species from Pakistan are; Exochomus nigromaculatus, Priscibrumus trijunctus, Coccinella iranica, C. redemita and Hippodamia apicalis.
