The main objective of the study was to determine the quality and draw out the factors affecting the quality of Teacher Education Program at B.Ed. level in Pakistan. The University of Education Lahore, its campuses and affiliated colleges called Government Colleges for Elementary Teachers (GCETs) were included in this study. All the principals, 160 faculty members and 400 prospective teachers were taken as a sample of this study. A framework was developed after reviewing a comprehensive study on “Quality Indicators for Teacher Education” conducted by the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC) India in 2007 in collaboration with the Common Wealth of Learning (COL). In the light of the framework, a research model was developed for the generalization of this study. Three five point rating scales were developed in order to find out the worth and to draw out the factors affecting the quality of this program. The collected data were analyzed by applying inferential as well as descriptive statistics. The hindering factors of quality assurance in teacher Education program were also drawn out from different indicators and sub indicators on the basis of their respective mean combine values. The results of the study showed the poor quality of the Teacher Training program (B.Ed.) in the sampled institutions. Poor infrastructure, Lack of awareness about quality, inappropriate admission procedures and criteria, worn out course contents, deficiency of laboratory schools, much theoretical course contents, Lack of guidance and counseling units, dearth of research activities and environment were found as factors affecting the quality of Teacher Education Program. Developing the infrastructure, revamping curriculum, enhancing the quality awareness and quality management mechanisms, arranging continuous trainings regarding quality management, Use of reflective, micro and cooperative teaching by the Teachers, establishing guidance and counseling units in all the TTIs, focusing on the creation of research based and research oriented environment in all the Teacher Training Institutions and the insertion of a new discipline regarding Quality Management in the B.Ed. program were recommended in this study.

پاکستان سے محبت

پاکستان سے محبت
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کی دعوت دی گئی ہے وہ ہے:’’پاکستان سے محبت ‘‘
صدرِذی وقار!
محبت ایک ایسا لفظ ہے جس کے معانی کی خوشبو سے گردونواح کی فضاء معطر ہو جاتی ہے، جس کی بارش کے قطرے نفرت، حسد، بغض کی دھول کو ختم کر کے نکھار پیدا کر دیتے ہیں، جس سے معاشرے میں موجود عداوت ، عصبیت ، اقرباء پروری کے کھلیانوں میں موجود غلاظت کے ڈھیروں سے اُٹھنے والی سرانڈ کاو جود ختم ہو جاتا ہے ،محبت کی آبیاری سے نشوونما پانے والے گلستان جنت کا نمونہ پیش کرنا شروع کر دیتے ہیں اور ہر سو سبزہ ہی سبزہ نظر آتا ہے جو ایک نیک شگون تصور کیا جا تا ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
میں پاکستان سے محبت کیوں نہ کروں!یہ تو میرے آباؤ اجداد کی کاوش ہے، میں اس کے گلی کوچوں کو حرز جاں کیوں نہ بناؤں یہ تو میرے اسلاف نے اپنی جانوں کا نذرانہ پیش کر کے حاصل کیا ہے، مجھے اس کی فضاؤں سے، مجھے اس کی ہواؤں سے، مجھے اس کے گلستانوں سے، مجھے اس کے بیابا نوں سے، مجھے اس کے کھیتوں کھلیانوں سے، الغرض مجھے اس کے ذرے ذرے سے پیار ہے۔
معزز سامعین!
پاکستان میراوطن ہے، پاکستان میر ا دیں ہے، پاکستان میرا گھر ہے، پاکستان کی مٹی مجھے جان سے بھی زیادہ عزیز ہے، ایسا کیوں نہ ہو، میں مسلمان ہوں میرا ایمان ہے کہ وطن کی محبت ایمان سے ہے۔ وطن سے محبت کر کے، پاکستان سے محبت کر کے جہاں میں بحثیت انسان اپنا فرض ادا کر رہا ہوں وہاں اپنادینی فریضہ بھی پورا کر...

ماحولیاتی آلودگی اور تعلیمات نبویﷺ

For the guidance of all human being and for resolving the problems Allah has told in Qur’an.  The environmental pollution is a major issue of our life, Allah has also fully guided for this regard too. There is mentioned in The Holy Quran about that. There are seven types of pollution are: Water pollution, Air pollution, Soil pollution, Thermal pollution, Radioactive pollution, Noise pollution, Light pollution. Environmental pollution has existed for centuries but only started to be significant in dub trial resolution. Pollution occurs when the natural environmental cannot destroy an element without creating harm or damage to itself. The elements involved are not produced by nature and the destroying process can vary from a few days to thousands of years. Though the first we should clean our self then our society will be cleaned and will not remain any kind of pollution. In this regard the Holly Quran is also telling us about the purification. There are two types of purification internal external. Internal purification to purity the soul form the effects of sins and act of disobedience though repenting sincerely form all sins and act of disobedience Purification of the heart from the fifth polytheism. External purification by removing of filth is by using pure water of the water for the removal of the for the worshiper's garment body and from the place of prayer. We must thin for this serious issue and have to reform our society from this important issue. In fort, we get rid from those absolutely in the right direction.

Growth Responses and Metal Accumulation Patterns in Fish Exposed to Chronic Metal Mixture Concentrations

Acute toxicity of 19 mixtures of iron, zinc, lead, nickel and manganese were determined in terms of 96-hr LC 50 and lethal concentrationsfor five fish species viz.Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Cirrhina mrigala,Ctenopharyngodon idella and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix under laboratory conditionsat constant pH (7), total hardness (200mg/L) and water temperature (30°C).The extent of metals bio- accumulation in fish body organs viz. gills, liver, kidney, fins, bones, muscle and skin at both 96-hr LC 50 and lethal concentrations were also determined. In the 2 nd phase, growth responses of five fish species were determined, separately, under chronic exposure of 19 mixtures of metals at sub-lethal concentrations (1/3 rd of LC 50 ) for 12 weeks. The bioaccumulation of metals in the fish body organs viz. gills, liver, kidney, fins, bones, muscle and skin were also determined before and after growth trails under the stress of 19 mixtures. All the five fish species showed significantly variable tolerance limits in terms of 96-hr LC 50 and lethal concentrations against 19 mixtures of five metals. Amongst 19 mixtures / treatments, the mixture of five metals (Fe+Zn+Pb+Ni+Mn) caused significantly higher toxicity to the fish, in terms of 96-hr LC 50 and lethal concentrations of 46.23±11.54 and 73.46±14.18mgL -1 , respectively. However, Pb+Mn and Zn+Pb mixtures were significantly least toxic to the fish with the mean LC 50 and lethal concentrations of 83.48±11.34 and 134.70±26.77mg L -1 , respectively. Regarding overall sensitivity of five fish species, Hypophthalmichthys molitrixwere significantly more sensitive to metals mixtures with a mean LC 50 value of 59.63±11.01mgL -1 while Labeo rohita showed significantly least sensitivity (81.73±12.73mgL -1 ).This significantly higher sensitivity of Hypophthalmichthys molitrix towards metal mixtures was followed by that of Cirrhina mrigala, Catla catla, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Labeo rohita. However, the difference between Catla catla and Cirrhina mrigala, for their tolerance limits (LC 50 ), were statistically non-significant. The overall sensitivity of all the five fish species, determined in terms of lethal concentrations, against various metals mixtures varied significantly. Regarding overall response of fish towards 19 mixtures, mean sensitivity of fish to the mixture of five metals (Fe+Zn+Pb+Ni+Mn) was significantly high (P<0.05), followed by that of four metalsmixtures (Fe+Zn+Pb+Mn) with statistically significant difference. Hypophthalmichthys molitrix were significantly more sensitive to metals mixture with themean lethal concentration of 97.85±16.20mgL -1 , followed by that of Catla catla, Cirrhina mrigala, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Labeo rohita with the mean lethal concentrations of 101.70±16.70, 105.80±12.80, 122.40±23.77 and 128.80±19.95mgL -1 , respectively. Amongst five fish species, Labeo rohita showed significantly least sensitivity towards Zn+Pb mixture (170.00±0.60mgL -1 ) while Hypophthalmichthys molitrix showed significantly higher sensitivity to Pb+Mn with the mean lethal concentrations of 18.53±0.61mgL -1 . The overall sensitivity of five fish species varied significantly for 19 mixtures with the mean higher and lower lethal concentrations of 134.70±26.11 and 73.56±14.18mgL -1 for Zn+Pb and Fe+Zn+Pb+Ni+Mn mixtures, respectively. The exposure of four (Fe+Zn+Pb+Mn) and five (Fe+Zn+Pb+Ni+Mn) metal mixtures, at sub-lethal concentrations (1/3 rd of LC 50 ), caused significantly lesser growth to all the five fish species. Amongst 19 mixtures, Fe+Zn+Pb+Ni mixture (#17) caused significantly pronounced impacts on the growth performance of all the five fish species, followed by thatof Fe+Zn+Pb+Ni+Mn (#19) and Fe+Zn+Pb+Mn (#18) mixtures. Under chronic stress, Cirrhina mrigala and Hypophthalmichthys molitix attained significantly higher weights, followed by that of Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Ctenopharyngodon idella. However, the growth of all the five metals mixture exposed fish species was significantly lesser than that of control fish (un-stressed). Significantly variable condition factor values reflected the degree of fish well-beings that correlated directly with fish growth. The metallic ion loads (under the exposure of different mixtures) of the culture media correlated inversely with fish growth due to significant effects of metal’s stress on fish body. The growth performance of fish did not vary significantly due to change in feed intake while significantly positive change in the feed conversion efficiency had affected the fish growth significantly due to the impacts of various mixtures in reducing fish metabolism and activity. Any significant change in feed intake, due to stress, is reflected in terms of fish growth showing the impacts of various mixtures on fish growth were either additive or antagonist / synergistic. Physico-chemistry of the test media (water) used for different treatments exerted significant impacts on fish growth, feed intake, and condition factor and feed conversion efficiency of fish also. Significantly better feed intake enhanced the ammonia production and excretion by the fish resulting into non-significantly positive relationship of fish weight increments with ammonia contents of the test media. Significantly higher feed intake resulted in excessive excretion of ammonia by the fish to cause significant impact on its growth. Sodium and potassium showed significantlypositive correlation with ammonia concentrations of the test media, indicating excessive release of sodium and potassium by the fish under stress of various mixtures that resulted in significantly more excretion of ammonia by the fish. Organ-wise distribution of residual metals viz. iron, zinc, lead, nickel and manganese reveals liver as the prime site of their accumulation with significantly higher persistence, followed by kidney, gills and fins of metals mixture exposed fish. The fish muscle tissues accumulated significantly (P<0.05) lower metals than liver, kidney and gills. The exposure of metals mixture at higher concentrations resulted in escalated levels of these metals in fish body that followed the general order: zinc >iron >nickel >lead >manganese which can be regarded as an indicator of cumulative response of five fish species. Accumulation of all the metals in fish body followed the general order: liver>kidney>gills>fins>muscle>skin>bones. The level of various metals in gills of fish, exposed to different sub-lethal concentrations of mixtures, was significantly higher (P<0.05) than the levels found in all other organs except liver and kidney.
