Administration is the backbone of any institute, which not only utilizes the human and material resources in the best possible way but also gives direction for the achievement of its goals and objectives. This study aimed to compare the administrative practices of public and private sector universities of Pakistan. The administrative practices consisted of amendments in university statutes; university governing bodies; its members selection; tenure; meetings; decision making practice; and implementation of decisions; recruitment/selection/appointment and promotion of official and faculty; provision of facilities to faculty; administrative, financial and academic matters; establishment of new departments; allocation of funds; university timings suitability; scholarships; evaluation of the employees; Procedure for overcoming irregularities; university management; dealing of university with community, HEC; Government, and other universities; HEC influence in university affairs; students admission; affiliation to colleges; and the like. The population of the study consisted of all administrators and academicians in the universities of Punjab and KPK provinces of Pakistan. Eight universities, four each from Punjab and Khyber Pakhtoon-khwa (two public and two private of each provinces) were randomly selected as sample of the study. Questionnaire for Administrative Practices (QAP), consisted of 32 domains, was utilized for data elicitation. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to measure the reliability of QAP, resulting in 0.963. Data was analyzed through the utilization of Mean score and t-test. Significant difference was observed between public and private sector universities regarding the administrative practices i.e. amendments in the statutes; universities bodies tenure; the provision of facilities to staff; officials attitude for handling of ixacademic matters; official’s way of supervising their subordinates; student admission; university timings suitability; process of college affiliation; evaluation of employees; procedure for overcoming irregularities; meeting with authorities; university management. While insignificance difference was found for universities bodies members selection; student representation in university bodies; their meetings; decision making; decision implementation; official appointment; staff promotion; administrative and financial matters; relations with community; HEC; Government and other universities; HEC influence in administration and other matters; scholarships; fund allocation; process to visit authorities and establishment of new departments. Significant difference was found between the opinions of academicians of public and private sector universities in terms of amendments in statutes; bodies decision making; staff selection; financial matters; academic matters; HEC influence in administration; student admission; university timings; meeting with authorities, and university management. Significant difference was observed between the opinions of administrators of public and private sector universities in terms of universities bodies’ tenure; bodies’ decision implementation; provision of facilities to staff; administrative matters; academic matters; official supervision; relations with other universities; HEC influence; fund allocation; university timings; College affiliation; procedure for overcoming irregularities; and university management. It was concluded from the findings that both public and private sectors are performing numerous practices in different ways and means. The university stakeholders’ administrators and academicians have lack of coordination. xIt is recommended that the coordination body HEC may arrange workshops, seminars for both public and private sectors universities. In the universities a body may be established which strives for the coordination between administrators and academicians.

آگیا برگ و بار کا موسم


آ گیا برگ و بار کا موسم
آپؐ لائے بہار کا موسم

آپؐ آئے تو نخلِ ہستی پر
آ گیا اعتبار کا موسم

صحنِ عالم میں گُلستاں مہکے
پڑ گیا ماند خار کا موسم

دشتِ بطحا پہ ناز کرتا ہے
ایمن و خلد زار کا موسم

کُن کے حرفِ جلی سے ظاہر ہے
آپؐ کے اختیار کا موسم

شہرِ طیبہ میں جا کے بدلے گا
اس دلِ بے قرار کا موسم

چشمِ عرفانؔ کو حضوری دیں
ختم ہو انتظار کا موسم

Factors Influencing Employees’ Job Motivation: A Case Study of Small and Medium Enterprises in Dong Nai Province

The research explores the factors affecting employees' job motivation in small and medium enterprises in Dong Nai province from June 2019 to June 2020. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that there are five factors including the following elements: relationships in the organization; interesting job; Salary, bonus, and benefits; Training and promotion and assessment of job performance affects the working motivation of employees in small and medium-sized enterprises in Dong Nai province with the significance of 5%. In addBesidesstudy results were processed from SPSS 20.0, Amos software. Estimated parameters of the model by the least least-squared with a significance level of 1%. The results are also significant scientific evidence for researchers and policymakers at small and medium enterprises in Dong Nai province to apply research results to human resource development in the future. Based on the five-factor test results, the author proposed the priority governance implications that the author suggested in order of priority, respectively, interesting work, performance evaluation, organization, salary, bonus and welfare regime, and training and promotion.

Optical Character Recognition for Printed Urdu Nastaliq Font

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is one of the most investigated pattern classification problems that has received remarkable research attention for more than half a century. From the simplest systems recognizing isolated digits to end-to-end recognition systems, applications of OCRs vary from postal mail sorting to reading systems in scene images facilitating autonomous navigation or assisting the visually impaired. Despite tremendous research endeavors and availability of commercial recognition engines for many scripts, recognition of cursive scripts still remains an open and challenging research problem mainly due to the complexity of script, segmentation issues and large number of classes to recognize. Among these, Urdu makes the subject of our study. More specifically, this study investigates the recognition of printed Urdu text in Nastaliq style, the most widely employed script for Urdu text that is more complex than the Naskh style of Arabic. This work presents a holistic (segmentation-free) technique that exploits ligatures (partial words) as units of recognition. Urdu has a total of more than 26,000 unique ligatures, many of the ligatures, however, share the same main body (primary ligature) and differ only in the number and position of dots and diacritics (secondary ligatures). We exploit this idea to separately recognize the primary and secondary ligatures and later re-associate the two to recognize the complete ligature. Recognition is carried out using two techniques; the first of these is based on hand-crafted statistical features using hidden Markov models (HMMs). Features extracted using sliding windows are used to train a separate model for each ligature class. Feature sequences of the query ligature are fed to all the models and recognition is carried out through the model that reports the maximum probability. The second technique employs Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to automatically extract useful feature representations from the classes and recognize the ligatures. We investigated the performance of a number of pre-trained networks using transfer learning techniques and trained our own set of networks from scratch as well. Experimental study of the system is carried out on two benchmark datasets of Urdu text, the ‘Urdu Printed Text Images’ (UPTI) database and the ‘Center of Language Engineering’ (CLE) database. A number of experimental scenarios are considered for system evaluation and the realized recognition rates are compared with state-of-the-art recognition systems for printed Urdu text. An interesting aspect of experimental study is the combination of unique ligatures in the two datasets to generate a large set of around 2800 unique primary and secondary ligatures covering a major proportion of the Urdu corpus. The system reports high classification rates (88.10% and 94.78% on CLE and UPTI query ligatures respectively) demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed recognition techniques which can be adapted for other cursive scripts as well. The findings of this study are expected to be useful for the document recognition community in general and researchers targeting cursive scripts in particular.
