Virtual education is a distance mode of education which imparts education through synchronous and asynchronous types of educational technologies. It aims to provide equal educational opportunities to large number of learners beyond the gender biasness, geographical boundaries and cultural issues. It is cost effective, learner centered, activity based and flexible education system. It also provides educational opportunities to in service people, physically defected and persons bound to live in boundaries. Virtual education facilitates people to continue their education with ease and comfort without disturbing their normal routine responsibilities. Virtual learners can attend their teaching learning activities according to their own pace, time and schedule. With the advancement, application and vide acceptance of modern educational technologies virtual education is getting popularity day by day. In Pakistan first virtual education university was established in 2002 with clear mission “not for profit”. It is a federal charted university which has established 27 its own campuses and has affiliated 137 private virtual campuses in short spell of time. More than 100000 virtual learners have been enrolled in this university up to 2015. The present study was conducted with the main objectives (i) to study the framework of virtual education model, (ii) to highlight the instructional paradigms of virtual education, (iii) to identify the significance of virtual education in Pakistan, (iv) to evaluate the components of virtual education model in Pakistan, (v) to explore the challenges faced by virtual students in Pakistan, and (vi) to recommend measures for improving virtual education model in Pakistan. The population of the study consisted of faculty members and the virtual learners of the MBA program of the virtual university of Pakistan. The convenient sampling technique was adopted for study. The total sample of the study was (451) consisted of one hundred (100) faculty members, three hundred and fifty one (351) virtual learners. The study was descriptive in nature therefore survey approach was considered appropriate and adopted for its completion. Two (02) questionnaires on five points rating (likert) scale were prepared. Research tools were finalized after their pilot testing with the calculated reliability of the research instruments. The samples could only be found virtually therefore research tools were converted into google.doc to collect data. Collected data was coded in SPSS version 20 and was statistically analyzed by using percentage, mean score and standard deviation. Form the data analysis it was found that virtual education was an effective mode of education in Pakistan. The study also concluded that virtual education model of Pakistan was providing quality education based upon the parameters of learner centeredness, cost effectiveness, activity based, need based and meeting international standards of education. Therefore, the study also recommended some suggestions to improve the virtual education model. Some other public and private sector universities should also start virtual education in Pakistan to endorse quality education. Teacher student interaction should be made more cohesive. Private virtual campuses should ensure accountability and accreditation. Co-curricular activities should also be given proper weightage in virtual education.

غزل

کیا کوئی ضابطہ ایسا کسی آئین میں ہے        :                کہ وہ مجرم ہے جو تہذیب کی تزئین میں ہے

میرے اس عہد میں رسوا جسے ٹھہرایا گیا :                اُس کی عظمت کا بیاں سورۃٔ والتّین میں ہے[۱]

پوچھ سکتا ہوں میں اے صاحبِ دستار و عمل :           کیوں کمر بستہ تو اقدار کی توہین میں ہے

جو بھی لب وا ہو مرے عہد میں وہ لب سی دو              :               یہ بھی اک حکم مرے شاہ کے فرامین میں ہے

اژدرِ کذب نے سچائی کو کھا ڈالا ہے       :               کوئی وقعت کہاں اب تیرے براہین میں ہے

تیری قسمت پہ تڑپ اٹھتا ہوں اے خاکِ وطن :       جو مرے عہد کے اب دستِ سلاطین میں ہے

تو نے کیا خود کو سرائیل سمجھ رکھا ہے       :               کیوں ترا دخل مرے دل کے فلسطین میں ہے

جس قدر آج یہاں اونچی ہوا میں اُڑ لیں : آخری فیصلہ دیوانِ علیّین میں ہے

وقت کو جو لیے پھرتا تھا کبھی مٹھی میں

اب وہ شاکر نہ ہی تیرہ میں ہے نے تین میں ہے

Anxiety Disorders in Pregnant Women: Causes and How to Overcome Them

The article explains the origins of anxiety disorders during pregnancy, and their treatment. Pregnant women's anxiety is normally manifests itself as emotions, perceptions, and behaviors, which is mediated by biological, social, and genetic influences. Probability analysis is done of this kind. Using a survey of 1500 rural residents as a random number between 100 and 1600 produces a 200% response rate. Those findings revealed that 60% of the participants had adequate reproductive age and 51% had mild to moderate anxiety, and 78.4% had high anxiety. The reasons leading to pregnant women's anxiety include their age, working status, lack of care from a boyfriend, having had previously given birth, and their wellbeing before becoming pregnant, all of the woman's family members, and maternal well-being. To resolve this is by sufficient relaxation, anti-depressants, a safe diet, and physical exercise, along with learning how to behave more positively, and by means of ourselves, or through prantal massage.

Phytochemistry and Bioactivity of Selected High Altitude Plants Belonging to Ligularia, Senecio and Vernonia Genera

The research work included in the present dissertation is mainly focused on isolation and structure elucidation of pure chemical constituents from the selected high altitude plants belong to Ligularia, Senecio and Vernonia genera. Moreover, biological activities have also been incorporated for various crude fractions and the purified compounds. There are three main parts of the dissertation: Part-A: Phytochemistry and bioactivities of Ligularia thomsonii Part-B: Phytochemistry and bioactivities of Senecio desfontainei and Senecio chrysanthemoides Part-C: Phytochemistry and bioactivities of Vernonia anthelmintica Part-A Part A describes the phytochemical investigation and bioactivities of L. thomsonii (Compositae). Three new (32-34) along with nine known (35-43) compounds were isolated from the plant. Various spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize their structures. Compounds (32-36 and 39-43) were also evaluated for their radical scavenging activities in the diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay using ascorbic acid as standard. Part-B Part B deals with the phytochemistry and bioactivities of S. desfontainei and S. chrysanthemoides (Compositae). One new (44) and eleven known compounds (45-55) were isolated from S. desfontainei while six known compounds (56-61) obtained from S. chrysanthemoides. Physical characteristics and extensive spectroscopic studies were used for characterization of the isolated and purified compounds which were also evaluated for their antioxidant activities. Part-C Part C of the dissertation, describing the phytochemistry and bioactivities of V. anthelmintica (Compositae). Eleven new compounds (62-72) were isolated and their structures have been characterized by physical characteristics and advanced spectroscopic techniques.
