Teaching – learning is an inclusive process involving many factors like motivation, intelligence, memory, interest, creativity etc. Some of the recently focused such factors are learning styles and emotional intelligence. Learning style refers to an individual’s preferred mode of acquiring knowledge. Similarly, emotional intelligence denotes a person’s capacity to asses, use and manage personal and others’ emotions. Both of these constructs are vital to learning and achievement. Individuals are different with respect to their learning styles and levels of emotional intelligence. Preferring a specific mode of learning reveals emotions of liking for it. Apparently, these constructs seem to be related as both involve emotions and cognition. This study attempted to highlight the distribution of learning styles and emotional intelligence of the university students along with determining the existence, nature and degree of relationship between them. The theoretical framework was taken from the FelderSilverman Model of Learning Styles (1988) and Davis, Stankov and Roberts’ (1998) conception of emotional intelligence. The objectives of this enquiry were: (1) To identify different learning styles of university students on gender bases, (2) To compare learning styles across disciplines, (3) To determine the levels of emotional intelligence of university students on gender bases, (4) To compare emotional intelligence across disciplines and (5) To find the relationship between learning styles and emotional intelligence. It was a descriptive-correlational enquiry which involved collection of quantitative data through a survey. The population of the study was consist of students of all five faculties of Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan. The cluster sampling technique was used to collect data from the final year students of the 15 selected departments under five faculties. The data were assembled through two standardized tools. The Index of Learning Styles (ILS, Felder & Spurlin, n.d.) was used to ascertain learning styles while Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS, Wong & Law, 2002) was exercised to establish the levels of emotional intelligence. Prior to administering, these tools were passed through validity and reliability in the local context through pilot testing. Afterwards, these tools were dispensed to the sampled learners. The collected data were analyzed by means of percentage, mean, t-test, ANOVA, Tukey test and correlation. The findings revealed that visual, sensing and active styles of learning were highly preferred. In terms of emotional intelligence, majority of the students excelled on ‘self-emotion appraisal’ and fall behind on ‘regulation of emotion.’ In addition, female students subjugated all components of emotional intelligence. Moreover, significant differences of learning styles and emotional intelligence were indicated across gender and disciplines. The ttest findings revealed that female students were significantly superior (t (826) = - 2.135, р = .033 < .05) to male students on visual – verbal facet. Likewise, on emotional intelligence, female students were also meaningfully superior to male students on ‘self-emotion appraisal’ (t (826) = -2.475, р = 0.014 < 0.05) and ‘overall emotional intelligence’ (t (826) = -2.058, р = 0.04 < 0.05). In terms of relationship, the findings implied lower levels of correlations in general. Generally, the active – reflective and visual – verbal aspects of learning styles indicated low positive while sensing – intuitive aspect implied low negative association with the various facets of emotional intelligence. In terms of recommendations, the study suggested the improvement of curricula keeping in view the learning styles and emotional intelligence of the students. Also, the weak area of emotional intelligence, particularly ‘regulation of emotion’ has been addressed for improvement. In addition, new venues for research were also suggested. This study has wide implications for teachers, curriculum designers, students, educational psychologists and researchers.

منشی اقبال احمد

منشی اقبال احمد
افسوس ہے کہ ۶؍ دسمبر کو منشی اقبال احمد صاحب بھی حرکت قلب بند ہوجانے سے انتقال کرگئے، وہ ماہر کاتب تھے، اپنی پوری زندگی دارالمصنفین کی خدمت میں گزاری، اس کی اکثر کتابیں ان ہی کے خط سے نکلی ہیں، اپنی خوشنویسی کی وجہ سے اترپردیش اردو اکاڈمی سے انعام بھی حاصل کیا، اب بصارت کی کمزوری کی بناء پر کتابت ترک کردی تھی، ان میں غرور و گھمنڈ نہ تھا، اپنی نرم اور شیریں گفتگو سے لوگوں کا دل موہ لیتے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی بشری لغزشوں سے درگزر کرے اور انھیں اپنے سایہ رحمت میں جگہ دے۔
(ضیاء الدین اصلاحی، دسمبر ۱۹۸۸ء)

 

Beyond Ritualism: Impact and Implications of Ḥajj on the Society of Pakistan

Ḥajj―an annual Islamic congregation―is a supreme manifestation of Faith (Imān) in which muslims assemble to pronounce explicitly their subservience and loyalty to Almighty Allah alone. Besides freeing themselves from the squalor of Shirk, Muslims satiate their souls with the feelings of ‘Faith’ and ‘Unity.’ This fact is purely accomplished when the Muslims shed off their outer difference by donning the dress of unity (Iḥrām). Ḥajj is a perfect blend between ‘Creator’ and ‘creature’, ‘soul’ and ‘spirit’ on the one hand and an enduring and invaluable expression physically, socially, and materially on the other. From this pragmatic Institution, Pakistan―one of the premier countries of the Islamic world―can derive unprecedented benefits politically, socially, and economically. One of the important objectives of the paper is to describe the significance of Ḥajj to the people of Pakistan. In so doing, the paper examines and explores, objectively and analytically, the institution of Ḥajj and its implications on the Muslim world, particularly Pakistan. The first section of the paper, “Ḥajj―At a Glance”, presents meaning and historical background of Ḥajj. The second section “Revitalizing the Ḥajj”, besides presenting the revitalization of the Institution by the final Messenger (peace be upon him) also gives an overview of some of the very important rituals to be realized (during Ḥajj). The subsequent sections, “Socio-Economic Dimension of Ḥajj” and “Ḥajj―Implications and Impact on the Society of Pakistan”, describe respectively the socio-economic impact and leverage of the Ḥajj on the Muslim world in general and on Pakistan in particular. The study is followed by “Conclusion” wherein it has been argued that the Ḥajj can bring an immense transformation and positivity in a country if its sweetness is sought in all earnestness.

Ablatives Based on Multiple Reinforced Elastomeric Composites for Aerospace Applications

Ablatives are materials used to protect the inner hardware of aerospace structures from the inimical temperature and shear environments. Fifty six diverse compositions have been used with numerous incorporations (MWCNTs, nanokaolinite, nanomontmorillonite, fine natural cork, phenolic resin, carbon fiber, Kevlar fiber, glass fiber, Spectra fiber, and ceramic fiber) and elastomeric matrices ( ethylene propylene monomer, styrene butadiene, silicon, and nitrile butadiene rubber) to fabricate polymer ablative composites for hyperthermal/hypersonic environment encountered during the space vehicle and ballistic missiles re-entry missions. The reinforcements have been impregnated into the elastomeric matrices using internal dispersion kneader and two-roller mixing mill. Three types of mold geometries have been used according to ASTM standards to fabricate the composites on the hot isostatic press to evaluate in-situ back-face temperature elevation, linear/radial ablation resistance, and mechanical properties. High temperature ( ≈ 3000 o C) oxy–acetylene torch coupled with the temperature data logging system was used to execute the ablation measurements of the ablative composites. Thermal stability and heat absorbing capability investigations have been carried out on the TG/DTA equipment. Mechanical properties have been executed using Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and rubber hardness tester. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with the energy dispersive spectroscopy was performed to demonstrate the reinforcement’s dispersion, interface quality, char morphology, char–reinforcement interaction, and compositional analysis of the composites. The ablation, thermal, and mechanical properties of the fabricated composites have been positively influenced with increasing the concentration of the nanoclays/synthetic fibers/nanotubes in the host rubber matrices. The least backface temperature evolution under 200s flame exposure, best linear/radial/mass ablation resistance, and the utmost improvement in tensile strength and elongation at break have been observed for 30 wt% nanokaolinite and 7 wt% chopped Kevlar fiber impregnated ablative composites. High thermal stability, heat quenching capability, low thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and remarkable reinforcement–matrix adhesion are identified as the most viiprominent factors for enhanced ablation performance. The novelty of this research work is the fabrication of new ablative formulations with augmented ablation resistance (linear ablation rate of ~ 0.002mm/s) and back-face temperatures in the vicinity of 55 o C. This compares with the ablation rates of 0.01mm/s and back-face temperatures 130 o C for contemporary work using elastomeric composites under similar conditions. A host of ablators have been ranked in terms of linear and radial ablation rate, backface temperature, and mechanical strength following head-on impingement, or radial flow conditions of oxy- acetylene flame. The designer can choose the appropriate combination of ablators for the situation at hand using the ablation data provided in consolidated form towards the end of the thesis.
