After the events of September 11, 2001, the Kashmir Earthquake of Oct 2005, the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the Gulf Coast hurricanes of 2005, the terrorist bombings of July 7, 2005 in London, the Karachi Nishtar Park and other suicidal blasting in Pakistan and the 2010 floods in the all four provinces of Pakistan, there is a widespread sense in Pakistan and in many other parts of the world that humanity has entered a new and more dangerous era. In this new world of the twenty-first century it is essential that we anticipate such events (Early Warnings) and their potential impacts. It is impossible to know exactly what form they will take, how severe they will be, or where and when they will occur, but their devastating impacts (pains) can be mitigated through demonstration of extensive strategic planning. The work in this thesis, therefore, is about the value of a specific area of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) planning, how Pakistan might make improvements in that specific area and types of and the role these play in disaster and emergency management. Thus, we have proposed a system that demonstrates an interoperable and integrated view of many agencies and organizations in Pakistan that can facilitate and improve the efficacy of routine, day-today public safety operations before, during and after a disaster hits in a country which is a developing one. The system is based on E-line-cum-State of the art prevailing Wireless Technology. Specifically, Pakistan’s Law Enforcement Agencies (Army, Air force, Navy and Police), governmental agencies, NADRA, public safety departments, newly proposed emergency response teams and general public will benefit from this system. The scenarios which have been addressed are a “system of systems” (PANs: MANET and VANET, JANs: IEEE 802.16e/ {also IEEE 802.20}, mobile broadband wireless networking and mesh networking technologies, IANs: IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks, EANs: Satellite Connectivity and wireless ad hoc networking technologies) that contains operational requirements described using scenarios such as Multi- disciplined, within a local area (A pre-planned event , A terrorist bomb attack, A local fire incidence etc ) and Multi-disciplined large-scale regional events (A hurricane, An earthquake, A flood etc). Thus the thesis discusses novel ideas of applying information and communication technologies such as the geo-spatial maps that are an essential part of search-and-rescue operations using GIS, about remote sensing using GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers that allow first responders to analyze zones and locate damaged buildings or injured residents, about images that are captured from aircraft to provide the first comprehensive picture of an event’s impact, about road maps that form the basis of evacuation planning, and about all other information connected to a location that can be used in emergency management. The analysis was performed using the OPNET Modeler to design and develop simulated models corresponding to Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (with Specific focus on Earthquake Early Warning System), its various wireless flavors (like WiMAX, WiFi and Zigbee Models also with Satellite Connectivity) and models related to handling issue of communication interoperability and integration between varying public safety organizations, NGOs, law enforcement and investigating agencies, relief organizations using link redundancy principles of wired and wireless telecommunication technologies such as WiMAX, WiFi, Zigbee, Satellite and IP-based broadband connectivity. The thesis discusses how these technologies reflect in transforming voice, video and image data on internet and email over wireless communication medium in disaster engineering (Chapter 3, 4, 5).

مو لانا محب ﷲ لاری ندوی

مولانا محب ﷲ لاری ندوی
افسوس ہے کہ مولانا محب اﷲ ندوی مہتمم دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء لکھنؤ، ۳۰؍ نومبر ۹۳؁ء کو رحلت فرماگئے، ان کی عمر ۸۸ برس تھی اور وہ نحیف و کمزور بھی ہوگئے تھے لیکن ندوۃ العلماء کے دور کمال کی ایک یادگار تھے اور ان کا وجود ندوۃ العلماء خصوصاً اس کے ناظم مولانا سید ابوالحسن علی ندوی مدظلہ کے لیے باعث تقویت تھا جن کے مرحوم ہم سبق تھے۔
ان کا وطن لارتھا، یہیں ابتدائی تعلیم حاصل کی۔ عربی تعلیم ندوۃ العلماء لکھنو اور انگریزی تعلیم علی گڑھ مسلم یونیورسٹی میں پائی اس کے بعد وہ چاہتے تو اچھی سی اچھی ملازمت مل جاتی مگر انھوں نے فراغت کے بعد کانپور میں اپنی انڈسٹری کرلی۔
کاروبار میں لگ جانے کے بعد بھی انھوں نے ندوۃ العلماء اور اس کے فضلا سے اپنا تعلق باقی رکھا اور اس کی مجلس انتظامیہ کے برابر رکن رہے۔ ۶۹؁ء میں بعض خاص حالات کی بناء پر انہیں دارالعلوم کے اہتمام کی ذمہ داری سپرد کی گئی جس کو کم و بیش ۲۵ برس تک وہ انجام دیتے رہے اور وفات کے بعد ہی اس سے سبکدوش ہوئے۔
دینداری، تقویٰ اور خشیتِ الٰہی ان کا شعار تھا، طبیعت میں اعتدال، سلامت روی سادگی اور انکسار تھا۔ اپنے اخلاص، مروت، شرافت اور حسن خلق کی بناء پر طلبہ، اساتذہ اور منتظمین کے حلقے میں مقبول رہے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ اپنے اس نیک بندے کی مغفرت فرمائے، آمین۔
اب مولانا سید محمد رابع ندوی صاحب نے دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء کے اہتمام کی ذمہ داری سنبھال لی ہے، جن کا انتخاب ان کے طویل تجربہ اور دیرینہ خدمات کی بنا پر بہت مناسب ہوا ہے۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی۔ جنوری ۱۹۹۴ء)

 

توجيهات نبوية لتعزيز المسؤولية الاجتماعية لدى الشباب

The role of youth in development of any society is vital. They are the vanguard of any nation. The youth cannot play their role properly and positively unless they understand their responsibilities fully. Creating sense of responsibility in individual of a society especially in its youth is inevitable for the collective and dynamic development of a society. The life of the holy Prophet (r) is a complete guide for all spheres of our life. It is evident from the teachings of the holy Prophet (r) and the general commandments of Islam that the youth play a very important role in socio economic and politico educational development. The holy Prophet (r) showed complete confidence in youth. He delegated them with different responsibilities, provided complete guidance and encouraged them for discharging their duties properly. The companions of the holy Prophet (r) who embraced Islam as a result of his first invitation were young between the ages of 20 to 30. The worst enemy of Islam- Abu Jahal was got killed by two young brothers. Likewise a young man Muṣ‘ab bin ‘Umayr (Ï) was sent to Madina, and Mu‘āz bin Jabal (Ï) and Abu Mūsá Ash‘arī (Ï) were sent to Yemen. Zayd bin Thābit (Ï) was directed to learn other languages. He also compiled the holy Qur’ān in Caliphate of Abū Bakar (Ï). The holy Prophet appointed Ḥuzayfa (Ï) to take census. For creating leadership characteristics, Usāmah bin Zayd was sent to different war expeditions. These are ample proofs of holy Prophet’s confidence he had in the youth.

Impact of Devolution on Managerial Functions of Public Health: Perception of Health Managers in Pakistan

The objective of the study was to examine the impact of devolution reform of 2001 on the health management functions and to determine the change in managerial roles and responsibilities after the devolution reform. Qualitative research methods, inclusive of review of published as well as the grey literature, archival analysis and informant interviews were used for analysis. An internationally validated tool was used for data collection and analysis. Analysis of data showed that devolution reform of 2001 has changed the power holder scenario in the Health sector all the way down from the National level to the District and Facility level, with an increased involvement of District level after devolution. On the other side there is still a conflict among various power holders, about who has the authority and has responsibility of certain managerial functions. This conflict is visible, in the way respondents identified the level of authority and responsibility for each managerial function, and the level of agreement (or disagreement) among the respondents for that function. After the devolution, lower level managerial cadre has been upgraded with new district level management system, but it has increased the role- conflict among various power-holders in health system. This role-conflict resulted in increased ambiguity and a negative impact on the managerial functions of public health. The main conclusion of the study is that health managers in Pakistan do not share same perceptions of how responsibility and authority are distributed after the devolution. Managerial powers were not clearly allocated even in past before decentralization, but post-devolution situation has further increased the role conflict in the health system. Management roles in health sector have become more ambiguous after devolution, and the impact of devolution in redistribution of management responsibility and authority has not been in a better and desired direction. A model of managerial functions in post-devolved health systems is also suggested in recommendations.
