Main purpose of the study was to search out the effect of Education Voucher Scheme (EVS) on academics and social skills of the students of class 8th. The study is an ex-post facto and co- relational in nature. Survey method was adopted to conduct the research. The accessible population of the study consisted of 8th grade students in two districts i.e. Lahore and Kasur. From these two districts, 17 schools were selected through random sampling. Data were collected from all available EVS students in these schools and research sample comprised of 504 students. The division of EVS and non-EVS students was 252 and 252. For academic achievement, 8th class result announced by Punjab Examination Commission (PEC) in 2012 was considered. Social skills like cooperation, assertion, flexibility, interpersonal skills, and self control were measured through a self developed rating scale named as Rabbani Social Skills Rating Scale (RSSRS). The instrument was close ended consisted of 35 Likert type statements on four point scale as (1 = never, 2 = occasionally, 3 = often and 4 = very often). The instrument was administered in class room situation. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results of the study showed that non EVS students were academically better as compared to their EVS counterparts. However EVS students showed continuous improvement in the academic as well as in social skills as they progress from class 6th to class 8th. The study showed that there is strong positive relationship between academic achievement and social skills both for EVS and non-EVS students. It was recommended that Government should increase the budget allocation to promote EVS programs and Punjab Education Foundation should make further efforts to improve the quality of instruction in EVS program in order to better address the educational and social needs of EVS students. The government should make certain arrangement to improve the parent education level.

قانون ٹارٹ كا فقہ اسلامى كى روشنى میں جائزہ

Tort law is an umbrella term for  laws  which cover issues of civil wrongs like defamation, trespassing and the other actions involving  violation of law. In case a person has undergone a physical, legal or any economic harm then he can file a suit under the tort law. Torts are civil wrongs recognized by law as grounds for a lawsuit. It is also generally known that tort in Islamic fiqh as “Jinayet”. This paper attempts to analys  by Islamic law in thel light of the  relevant verses for the Qur’an followed by the rules stated in traditions from the Prophet (Peace by on him). Jinayat the part of Shari’a that applies to homicide or physical  injury is called jinayat and is based on the pre-Islamic rules of Arab blood feud, as modified by Prophet (Peace be on him). The punishment is either retaliation or blood money (diyat). Retaliation occurs only upon  the request of the victim, if alive, or his nearest kin if the victim is dead, and is to be inflicted by victim or kin. In the case of homicide retaliation means death, in the case of injury it means imposing an identical injury. Where retaliation is one of the options, the victim or his closest kinsman may demand blood money instead, or negotiate an out of court settlement. Jinayat, like modern tort law, is based on private action; there is no official responsible for initiating the case.

Automatic Generation of Shared Hardware Design for Multiple Application Circuits

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are popular due to their programming flexibility and ease of design modification. However, the benefits of reconfigurability and reusability of FPGAs are also responsible for their inefficiencies compared to Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). FPGAs suffer huge gap in terms of area, power and speed as compared to ASICs. Despite their inefficiency, FPGAs are still replacing ASICs in mid and low-volume products. This thesis explores the design space between FPGA and ASIC. Several architectural modifications are proposed in the FPGA to get feasible architectures that lie between an ASIC and an FPGA. ThisthesisexploresthefeasibilityofSRAM-TablesharinginFPGAarchitectureswithlarger LUT sizes. SRAM-Table sharing based FPGA architecture allows sharing of SRAM-Table among NPN-equivalent functions, thus allowing reduction in the area as well as the numberofconfigurationbits.ToaccommodatethisconceptinexistingFPGAarchitecture,anew CLB architecture is proposed with LUT input sizes greater than four, higher degree of sharing, and more shared pairs. The CAD flow is also modified to efficiently map the netlists ontheproposedarchitecture.ExperimentalresultsonMCNCbenchmarkcircuitssuggestan overall area reduction of 7% while maintaining the same critical path delay and no compromise on FPGA programming flexibility. Manydigitalsystemsprovidemultiplebutcloselyrelatedfunctionalities,notallofthemare required simultaneously. Dedicated hardware solution for each functionality will waste too much silicon area. This work also explores shared hardware solution for a set of functionalities which will execute only one functionality at a time. The shared hardware solutions explored in this thesis are termed as ASIF++ and Multi-Circuit. A previously proposed technique named as Application Specific Inflexible FPGA (ASIF) is further enhanced to propose ASIF++. An ASIF is a customized design for a given set of application circuits, which is generated by significantly optimizing the routing resources ofanFPGA.ThisworkoptimizeslogicblocksofASIFusingSRAM-tablesharingtechnique. Moreover,SRAMsintheroutingnetworkareremovedbyapplyinggateinsertiontechnique. Thistechniquenotonlyreducesarea,butalsominimizesreconfigurationtime,bitstreamsize and size of external memory used to store circuit bitstreams. ASIF++ is 4∼9% area efficient than ASIF for group of 2-5 circuits. Thisthesisfurtherexploresthefeasibilityofsharedhardwaresolution.LogicblocksofASIF++ are further optimized to a shared hardware named as "Multi Circuit". It is a customized single platform shared ASIC for a known set of applications. Multi-circuit is primarily meant to be integrated as an embedded component in a larger design such as an SoC (System On Chip). Experiments reveal that Multi-Circuit is 73% ∼ 89% smaller than its corresponding FPGA design. Multi-Circuit is also 18%∼ 42% smaller than ASIF++. An automatic hardware generator is also presented that generates VHDL models of MultiCircuit and ASIF++, and bitstreams of the circuits mapped on them.
