The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship among professional attitude of teachers, their job satisfaction and job performance and their comparison between regular and contractual teachers in Pakistan. The study was delimited to the contractual (SSEs) and regular (SSTs) teachers and head teachers of government secondary schools of Punjab province, the most populated province of Pakistan. It was carrying mixed-methods research approach i.e. data were qualitative and quantitative. For the qualitative data, an interview protocol was designed for the executives i.e. DPIs, Addl. DPIs, EDOs and DEOs. Some open-ended questions were also included in the questionnaire to collect the qualitative data of the study. The quantitative data were collected from a sample of 332 regular teachers, 313 contractual teachers and 645 head teachers of secondary schools through developing three questionnaires on five point rating scales; two for the teachers (to measure their professional attitude and job satisfaction) and one for the head teachers (to rate teachers job performance). The instruments were duly validated through expert opinions and the reliability was established through pilot study on a small sample in two districts Kasur and Lahore. The reliability of the final questionnaires was established at .784, .780 and .944 for professional attitude, job satisfaction and job performance respectively. The quantitative data of the two questionnaires were analyzed on the basis of mean, standard deviation, Independent Samples t-test (Levene’s test and 2-tailed t-test) and Pearson Correlation. Qualitative data were analyzed by converting raw data into frequencies and placing in identical categories of responses. Results were presented in tables and with frequencies and the opinion of respondents was calculated in percentage to draw the inferences. The key findings of the study revealed that professional attitude of teachers had positive relationship with job satisfaction and job performance; job satisfaction of teachers had positive relationship with their job performance. Professional attitude in combination with Job Satisfaction appeared to have more significant positive relationship with job performance. Regular SSTs teachers had better professional attitude, job satisfaction and job performance level than contractual SSEs teachers; female teachers had relatively better professional attitude, job satisfaction and job performance level than male teachers and urban teachers had more positive professional attitude, job satisfaction and job performance level than rural teachers. Majority of the teachers liked their children or relatives to join teaching profession; although they showed dissatisfaction with the existing pay scale and financial package for teachers and suggested for recruitment of teachers on regular basis. Most of the head teachers disagreed that teachers should be recruited on contract basis. They thought that contractual teachers do not perform well due to their low salary package and unsecured job. The educational managers i.e. EDOs, DEOs, DPI and Addl. DPI were of the view that regular (SSTs), female and urban teachers have more positive attitude towards teaching profession, better job satisfaction and job performance than their contractual (SSEs), male and rural teachers counterparts.

پنڈت ہردے ناتھ کنزرو

پنڈت ہردے ناتھ کنزرو
یہ سطریں لکھی جارہی تھیں کہ پنڈت ہردنے ناتھ کنزرد کی وفات کی خبر ملی، انھوں نے بڑی لمبی عمر پائی، نوے سال کے تھے، وہ ایک جلیل القدر، مرنجان مرنج، بامروت، وضعدار شخصیت، پارلیمانی دستور کے بڑے ماہر ہندو مسلمان کی ملی جلی تہذیب کے عمدہ نمونہ اور اردو زبان کے بڑے محسن کی حیثیت سے برابر یاد کئے جائیں گے، وہ اپنی ترشی ہوئی بھلمنساہت کی وجہ سے ہندوستان کی سیاست کی جذباتی ہم آہنگی کے قابل تقلید نمونہ بن سکتے ہیں، بشرطیکہ موجودہ قومی دھارے کے بنانے والے ان کو ایسا ہی سمجھیں۔ (’صباح الدین عبدالرحمن، اپریل ۱۹۷۸ء)

امام بلاذری بحیثیت سیرت نگار

Ansāb-ul-Ashrāf is one of the most prominent works of Aḥmad Bin Yaḥya Bin Jābir al- Balādhuri, a muslim historiographer of third Hijri Century. This book is, in fact, a genealogical form of writing history and a primary and authentic source of the Holy biography of the Holy Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ). This article comprises the life, works and especially the methodology of seerah writing of Balādhuri in his book: Ansāb-ul-Ashrāf. The distinctive characteristics of   methodology of seerah writing have been described in this article. He has presented the traditions (Riwayat) about the Seerah of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) in different ways. Sometimes he mentions the whole chain of narrators and sometimes he skips the chain of narrators. The article sheds light on the methodology of seerah writing with special reference to the book Ansāb-ul-Ashrāf.

Clinical Correlation and Chromosomal Breakage Analysis in Fanconi Anemia Patients from Different Regions of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

The study was designed to confirm the diagnosis of Fanconi Anemia patients by MMC induced chromosomal breakage studies along with the related clinical characteristics at cytogenetic laboratory of Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi. Out of 192 patients included in the study, 24 had confirmed diagnosis of Fanconi anemia. Amongst which 14 (58.33%) were male and 10 (41.66 %) were female patients. The mean age calculated for this disease in our study is 11.18 years. These patients presented with phenotypic features like hyperpigmented spots on skin, microcephaly, short stature or thumb/radial anomalies. Many suffered from aplastic anemia while some had pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia or less frequently prevalent bone marrow disorders. Major characteristics noted in the present study were the anomalies related to weight, height and skeleton. Leukemia or Myelodysplastic syndrome was also present in some of the cases. Moreover, they had other clinical history of bruises, infections, bleeding gum and fever etc. Around 30-50% of the metaphases showed breakages in the chromosomes of these after being subjected to clastogenic stress by mitomycin C. The cytogenetic analysis pattern of Fanconi anemia is like the international studies. At present, the technique mentioned in our study using the mitomycin C (MMC) induced chromosome instability is the gold standard test for the timely diagnosis of Fanconi anemia as clinical features cannot confirm the diagnosis alone. With the use of DNA cross linking clastogenic chemicals such as Mitomycin-C (MMC); the diagnosis and timely confirmation of this disease can be done when patients presented with related signs and symptoms. Early diagnosis of this disorder is very important as this would help in efficient treatment of patients before the disease starts showing further life-threatening complications. Knowing the karyotype pattern of Fanconi anemia can also help in genetic counseling of the patients and their families. Also, wide-scale national community-based survey with Fanconi anemia registry could help in estimating the size of the problem in our country more accurately as previously no such work has been done or available in the literatures.
