The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education has revolutionized teacher education and use of innovative approaches in teaching methodology has changed teaching and learning process. To find out the impact of ICT in teacher education, this study was conducted to (i) examine the level of integration of ICT in exiting pre-service Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) program offered by Government Colleges of Education and Provincial Institute of Teacher Education, (ii) evaluate the competency deficiencies of teacher educators in use of ICT in teaching and learning process, (iii) analyze the need assessment of B.Ed trainees in terms of use of ICT and, (iv) develop ICT-supported training model for teacher educators. The population of the study was four (04) male and female Heads of institutions, thirty seven (37) teacher educators of B.Ed classes and four hundred and nine (342) B.Ed trainees of all Government Colleges of Education including Provincial Institute of Teacher Education. The census sampling was used to select all the four (04) Heads of the institutions and thirty seven (37) teacher educators. However, a simple random sampling technique was used for the selection of B.Ed trainees. The sample thus consisted of four (04) male and female Heads of institutions, thirty seven (37) teacher educators of B.Ed classes and one hundred forty seven (147) B.Ed trainees of all Government Colleges of Education including Provincial Institute of Teacher Education. A mixed method approach, using both quantitative and quantitative method, a concurrent triangulation strategy, was used for this study. Data was collected through questionnaires, focus group discussion, in-depth interviews and classroom observations. The questionnaires were designed to collect the quantitative data and focus group v discussion, in-depth interviews and classroom observations were used to obtain the in- depth knowledge for qualitative analysis. In addition to this research, the researcher conducted pilot test for the application of developed ICT-supported model in routine class courses focusing integration of ICT in teaching and learning process. The findings of study show the very low level of ICT-supported teaching due to lack of facilities and resources, but study found very positive perceptions among the teacher educators, heads of institutions and B.Ed trainees towards integration of ICT in teacher education program. The overwhelming majority of respondents showed willingness to use ICT in classroom teaching. However, the study found that teacher educators require more training on new ICT-integrated pedagogical approaches for the improvement of their ICT skills. The pilot testing of model found significant impact on teaching and learning process. The research suggests several key reforms for policy makers and recommendations for head of institutions, teacher educators and B.Ed trainees. For policy makers, this study proposes that teacher education curriculum should be revised and reforms be made in assessment method using ICT according to the international standards along with the provision of ICT tools and digitalization of classrooms. The study also recommends that at college level, heads of institutions may make serious attempt to encourage ICT-supported environment for both teacher educators and B.Ed trainees and existing resources be fully utilized at maximum level. In addition, the B.Ed trainees be encouraged by teacher educators to prepare the assignment using electronic sources and project-based techniques, evaluation methods, and computer based assessment be used by teacher educators to encourage integration of ICT in teaching learning and assessment process.

۔مراتب اختر کی غزل گوئی

مراتب اختر کی غزل گوئی

                ساٹھ کی دہائی میں شہرت حاصل کرنے والے شعراء میں ایک اہم نام مراتب اختر کا بھی ہے۔ مراتب اختر منفرد لہجے کے جدید شاعر تھے۔ جنھوں نے غزل میں نئے نئے تجربات کیے۔ یہ ایک حقیقت ہے کہ شاعری کی اساس اسلوب ہے اور اسلوب کی خوبصورتی الفاظ کے انتخاب کی مرہونِ منت ہے۔ لفظوں کا خوبصورت انتخاب کلام میں آہنگ اور موسیقیت پیدا کرتا ہے اور الفاظ کی لطافت، فصاحت اور موزونیت ایک دوسرے کے ساتھ تقابل کے بعد واضح ہوتی ہے۔ مراتب اختر اُردو غزل میں جدیدیت کے علم برداروں میں اہم مقام رکھتے ہیں اور اُن کا اسلوب اس کا آئینہ دار ہے۔ انھوں نے اپنے کلام میں جدیدلفظیات کو استعمال کر کے جدید غزل کو ایک نیا رنگ دیا۔ مراتب اختر کی شاعری کے حوالے سے معروف شاعر اور نقاد افتخارجالبؔ لکھتے ہیں:

مراتب اختر نے جو شاعری کی ہے۔ اس میں رکھ رکھائو، ڈِکش کی ملائمت، نفاست اور مروّجہ شعریت نہیں ہے۔ سب کچھ اُکھڑا اُکھڑا دکھائی دیتا ہے۔ یہ خرابیاں کہ امکان سے نابلد، اندھے اور بے مغز لوگوںں کو گراں گزرتی ہیں۔ درحقیقت مراتب اختر کی خالص خوبیاں ہیں۔(۱)

                مراتب اختر شاعری کے میدان میں لکیر کے فقیر ثابت نہ ہوئے بلکہ انھوں نے عرصہ دراز سے استعمال ہونے والے سادہ الفاظ کو اس نئے رنگ سے اپنی شاعری میں استعمال کیا کہ وہ اُن کی پہچان بن گئے۔ مراتب اختر کے حوالے سے وحید اطہر اپنے مضمون ’’مراتب اختر اور ہم‘‘ میں یوں رقم طراز ہیں:

مراتب اختر کے ہاں گل و بلبل کی شاعری نہیں ہے۔وہ زمانے کے ساتھ ساتھ رہا۔ اس نے دیومالائی قصے کہانیوں کا سہارا نہیں لیا۔ وہ جیتے...

Teknis Pendirian Perbankan Syariah di Indonesia

Syariah banking as an important component of banking law in Indonesia is currently experiencing rapid growth. The existence of Shariah banking is expected to help solve various problems in Indonesia, especially poverty. In the midst of its development, Shariah banking has not been able to handle the market share where the majority of the market share comes from people from the middle class. In addition, the education and socialization of Shariah banking is insufficient, so there is a diversity of public perceptions regarding Shariah banking. Pros and cons occur in society regarding the establishment of Sharia banks, where the benefits of Sharia banking are enormous, both in the economic world and in the future. This research uses literature review. Review using a qualitative approach. Primary data sources in this research were obtained from observations or research observations on problems that occur with Sharia banking management. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained from good literature and books, journals and other sources related to current materials.

Development of Ranking Criteria for Assessment of Existing and Proposed Solid Waste Dumping Sites in Faisalabad, Pakistan With the Help of Remote Sensing and Gis Techniques.

Priority wise channelization of resources is the key to successful environmental management, especially when remedial resources are limited. The study in hand has successfully explored potential of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques for assessing environmental impacts of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) open dumps. An additional emphasis in this regard was to compare different MSW open dumps for their environmental hazards. The study was mainly done for MSW open dumps of Faisalabad, but for comparison MSW dumps of Lahore have also been incorporated. This study can be divided into the development of an algorithmic criterion that compares MSW dumping sites as a whole, establishing use of the remotely sensed satellite data for detailed bio-thermal hazards assessment of MSW dumps, to study impact of varying geography on these affects, and to study spectral behavior of MSW open dumps for their possible identification. It is first study of its kind that have modeled economical methods within the framework of remote sensing and spatial analysis that can be easily adopted in developing world. The developed ranking algorithm is a Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) that has made use of the scaling function, to normalize the data values, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for assigning weights to input parameters showing their relevant importance and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) for aggregating the normalized scores. Input parameters for this algorithm have been divided into three classes namely resident''s concerns, groundwater vulnerability and surface facilities. Remote Sensing data and GIS analyses were used to prepare most of the input data. Working of the algorithm has been elaborated by comparing four of the dump sites namely main Municipal Solid Waste Open Dump (MSWOD) of Faisalabad (MF-MSWOD), new MSWOD of Faisalabad (NF-MSWOD), Saggian and Mahmood Booti (MB-MSWOD) dumps of Lahore. The comparison has been made first at class levels and then class scores have been aggregated into environmental normalized index for environmental impact ranking. The hierarchy of goodness for the selected sites is found to be NF-MSWOD > MF-MSWOD > MB-MSWOD > Saggian with comparative scores of goodness to environment as 36.67, 28.43, 21.26 and 13.63 respectively. Flexibility of developed criteria to adjust any number of classes and parameters in one class will be very helpful for developing world where availability of data is the biggest hurdle in research based environmental sustainability planning. The proposed model can be run even without 2 purchasing expensive satellite data and GIS software, with little inaccuracy, using imagery and measurement tools provided by Google Earth. To establish the use of the remotely sensed satellite data for detailed bio-thermal hazards assessment of MSW dumps thirty images of Landsat-8 have been selected after validation for the accuracy of their observational details from April, 2013 to October, 2015. Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) and Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI) derived from these images through Digital Image Processing (DIP) and have been used for spatio-temporal analysis in GIS environment. MF-MSWOD has been found with average temperature elevation of 4.3 K and 2.78 K from nearby agriculture land and urban settlement respectively. Vegetation health has been used as the bio-indicator of MSW effects and is implemented through NDVI, SAVI, MSAVI. Spatial analyses have been used to mark boundary of bio-thermally affected zone around dumped MSW and measures 700 m. Seasonal fluctuations of elevated temperatures and boundary of the biothermally affected zones have also been discussed. Based on the direct relation found between vegetation vigor and the level of deterioration within the bio-thermally affected region, use of crops with heavy vigor is recommended to study MSW hazard influence using bio-indicators of vegetation health. The results obtained and the research methodology of spatial analysis for MF-MSWOD, surrounded by a uniform vegetation cover all around, have been compared with that of the MBMSWOD surrounded by a complex neighboring land cover. Contrary to MF-MSWOD, the MBMSWOD has been found to affect surrounding vegetation to an average distance of about 650 m that varies from 400 m in winter to 800 m in dry summer. The thermal influence zone was observed to have about the same radial extent of 650 m with minimum of 350 m found in dry summer and maximum of 1000 m in winter. The comparison has resulted into two main conclusions. In the first place the severity of bio-thermal effects of an open MSW dump, in addition to waste age, characterization, pile etc., also depends on surrounding geography. Secondly, the use of GIS analysis for studying the bio-thermal effects requires modification that varies from case to case, depending upon neighboring land cover. The use of remotely sensed data for monitoring dumped MSW is a good alternative but selection of proper GIS methodology, representing natural setting of phenomena is as important as accuracy of the remotely sensed data.
