Topic: Analysis of adults Perception regarding awareness, Fitness & Trends of Physical Exercise in our Society Pages: 101 Researcher: Muhammad Ayaz Supervisor: Professor Dr Abdur Rehman Subject Area: Physical Education University: Gomal University Dera Ismail Khan (Pakistan) Year: 2009 Degree: Ph.D in Education Physical exercise activities are paramount to maintain fitness and avert risks of diseases, illnesses, fatigue and other body problems by regularizing body functions and sustain over all well being. Before going for an exercise plan, awareness of physical activities and their role in chalking out fitness are inevitable to follow certain trend. A study was designed to assess the level of awareness regarding different exercise activities among four groups vis-à-vis doctors, lawyers, teachers and businessmen at Dera Ismail Khan district of Pakistan. Systematic sampling technique was implied from a well constructed sampling frame to select a total of 50 respondents from each group totaling 200. A survey strategy was used to administer questionnaire using five point Likert scale from surveyed population by face to face interaction. Results regarding perceptions of the awareness of exercise activities revealed that all the four groups are equal in their awareness of various activities (Jogging, sports, walking, swimming, morning activities, heath club activities, maintenance of health and nervous system stability) except participation in re-creative activities. The groups were also aware of the benefits of exercise that can make human look best. The level of awareness was not determined by Body Mass Index (low or high) or age (young, medium ivand old) of the respondents. With reference to understand perceptions about the role of fitness resulting physical exercise, results showed that majority of the respondents are aware that physical fitness can improve health (shedding extra weight and lower blood pressure and risk of health diseases), improve working efficiency (withstand fatigue and increase work capacity) and improve overall wellness (smart look and well being) of individual. Perception of trends regarding physical exercise was divided into five categories namely health oriented trends, self appearance trends, light exercise trends, moderate to hard exercise trends and non exercise trends. There exists a mix of following a specific exercise trend among sampled community. Significant differences were observed among groups in respect of perceptions denoting “playing games to safeguard/ avert health problems”, “force to engage in physical exercise due to shape in figure”, “playing games that do not involve physical exertion”, “play games that involve lots of physical exertion” and “control over diet to maintain fitness”. The findings also discussed probable reasons for opting for non-exercise trends. The research concluded with the notion that perception of awareness, fitness and trend will be helpful in designing persuasive strategies based on salient perceptions of the surveyed population for better follow up of exercise activities suitable to needs. The research also advanced recommendation and proposes suggestions for further research.
پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کی 50سالہ تاریخ کا جائزہ لیا جائے تو خون اور آنسوئوں سے لکھی لازوال قربانیوں اور جدو جہد کا سفر ہے کہیں خود سوزیاں کر نے والے پروانوں کے جھلستے جسموں سے بھٹو کو رہا کرو کی صدائیں گونجتی نظر آئیں گی تو کہیں دار کی خشک ٹہنی پر لٹکتے چومتے پھانسی کے پھندوں میں سے نعرہ مستانہ جیوے جیوے بھٹو جیوے بلند ہو تا ہے ۔
ننگی پیٹھوں پر کوڑے کی جھنکار سے کمر سے رستے خون سے جب تک سورج چاند رہے گا بھٹو تیرا نام رہے گا۔غرض عشق بھٹو سر چڑھ کے بولتا ہے ۔پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کی تاریخ میں دیکھا تو یہ صرف انفرادی طور پر کارکنوںکی جدوجہد نہیں تھی اس تحریک میںکہیں ڈاکٹر زبیدہ ملک ،کامریڈ رفیع ملک مرحوم (فیصل آ باد )ماں بیٹا دونوں شاہی قلعہ کے عقوبت خانے میں لائے جاتے ہیں تو کہیں کامریڈ شاہدہ جبین اپنے بھائی عثمان غنی شہید کے ساتھ جیلیں کاٹتی نظر آتی ہیں ۔کوٹ لکھپت جیل کے ایک احاطے میں کامریڈ طلعت جعفری قید ہیں تو دوسری طرف ان کے والد محترم فضل الہی شکیل ۔اس طرح ڈسکہ سیالکوٹ کے سید سلیم عباس اور ان بزرگوار بڑے شاہ جی ۔آصف بٹ ایڈووکیٹ اپنے بھائی ناصر بٹ کے ساتھ قید کا عذاب جھیلتے ہیں ۔فیصل آباد کے محمد اعظم بٹ اور پرویز اعظم بٹ دونوں بھائیوں نے بھی برابر قیدو بند کی صعوبتیں برداشت کیں ۔جنرل ضیاء کا ظالمانہ دور ایک سے بڑھ کر ایک ظلم کی داستان ہے لیکن ان سب میں ایک عشق بھٹو میں قربان کر دیا۔جی ہاں لاہور کے آغا برداران مارشل لاء کے شروع ہی سے ان کا گھر پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کا گڑھ تھا ۔ایک نہیں دو نہیں تین نہیں آدھ درجن سے زائد بھا ئی بہنیں...
تُعنى هذه الدراسة ببيان نظام الحكم الديمقراطي عند سبينوزا ، والذي له أهمية كبيرة في الفلسفة الحديثة بصورة عامة، والفلسفة السياسية بصورة خاصة ، والذي يصفه سبينوزا بأنه الأفضل من بين أنظمة حكم الدولة الموجودة، وكل ذلك من خلال بيان الفلسفة السياسية عنده ، لتكون الصورة واضحة ومتكاملة، وقد استخدمنا المنهج الوصفي في بيان أفكاره السياسية ، وتتبع هذه الأفكار بصورة تفصيلية، من خلال مقدمة ومجموعة من المحاور وخاتمة ونتائج لهذه الدراسة، والتي توصلنا من خلالها إلى إن ما يدعو إليه سبينوزا من خلال فلسفة السياسية في إدارة الدولة هو النظام الديمقراطي، لأنه أفضل الأنظمة السياسية التي تحقق العدالة والمساواة والحرية للمجتمع ، والطمأنينة والسلام والسعادة للفرد.
Agro-management practices for boosting yield and quality of hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) were studied at the Agronomic Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. The study consisted of two field experiments. The first experiment comprised of two zinc levels i.e. control ( no zinc application), zinc at the rate of 15 kg ha -1 ; two intercropping levels i.e. maize alone, maize + 2 rows of green gram and four nitrogen levels i.e. control ( no nitrogen application), 150, 200 and 250 kg N ha -1 . In second experiment the effect of boron i.e. control, boron (as boric acid) at the rate of 6 kg ha -1 : intercropping green gram i.e. maize alone, maize + 2 rows of green gram and four combined organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen i.e. control (no nitrogen application), 50% N from urea + 25% N from farm yard manure + 25% N from poultry manure, 25% N from urea + 50% N from farm yard manure + 25% N from poultry manure and, 25% N from urea + 25% N from farm yard manure + 50 % N from poultry manure was evaluated on growth and yield of maize. Both the experiments were laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split-split plot arrangement each with three replications. Data on different growth and yield parameters of maize and green gram was recorded using standard procedures and was analyzed by appropriate statistical techniques. The objectives of this study were to identify an effective and low cost N level for maize hybrid when intercropped with green gram, to compare the economic feasibility of maize hybrid alone and intercropped with green gram and with combined use of organic and inorganic sources of N, to study the effect of N, intercropping green gram, Zn and their interaction on the maize crop performance and to study the role of N, Zn and B for augmenting productivity and quality of maize hybrid. Result of the study revealed that maximum grain rows per cob (16.10), grains per cob (524), grain weight per cob (66.67g), 1000-grain weight (301g), grain yield (6.89 t ha -1 ), oil contents (4.46%), protein contents (9.18 %), ccompetition functions (relative crowding co- efficient, aggressivity value, competition ratio), agronomic advantages (maize grain yield equivalent, land equivalent ratio, area time equivalent ratio) and net income (Rs.151580) and BCR (2.70) were observed in Zn 1 I 1 N 3 (15 kg Zn ha -1 + 250 kg N ha -1 in maize intercropped with 2 rows of green gram) which was statistically at par with Zn 1 I 1 N 2 (15kg Zn ha -1 + 200 kg N ha -1 in maize intercropped with 2 rows of green gram). xxIn second experiment, results illustrated that maximum grains rows per cob (16.30) grains per cob (545.33), grain weight per cob (67.67g), 1000-grain weight (275.67g), grain yield (5.83 t ha -1 ), oil content (4.51%), protein content (8.36%), net income (Rs.124238 ha -1 ) agronomic advantages (maize grain yield equivalent, land equivalent ratio, area time equivalent ratio) and BCR (2.55) were observed in B 1 I 1 N 1 (6 kg B ha -1 + 50 % N (Urea) + 25 % N (FYM) + 25 % N (PM) in maize intercropped with green gram). These studied concluded that application of Zn and B along with nitrogen enhanced the yield of hybrid maize. Moreover different organic sources as farm yard manure, poultry manure and intercropping of green gram was useful in not only reducing reliance upon synthetic sources of nitrogen fertilizer but also helped in reducing the net costs.
