It was a descriptive study, which described facts and characteristics of the given population and area of interest systematically, factually and accurately. A clear purpose, rationale and statement of objectives with research questions were given. A set of research tools were developed and pilot tested. Data were collected from different sources and made meaningful with the help of tables and figures that were further validated by using statistical measures. The sample included 08 Provincial Level Education Officers (25%), 54 District Level Educational Officers of 8 districts (33.3%), 08 Executive District Education Officers (33.3%), 16 District Education Officers (33.3%) both genders, 32 Deputy District Level Education Officers (33.3%) and 80 Principals, (5 %) randomly selected throughout the province. The data were obtained through the tools of questionnaire; interviews and literature review. Two sets of questionnaires with almost the same items were developed for fielding to the District Level Education Officers and principals of government high schools. The statements of questionnaires were based on the indicators drawn from the review of literature after ensuring their relevancy to the problem of the study. The interviews were held with eight Provincial Level Education Officers on prescheduled dates and times. The data were given both quantitative and qualitative treatment. The outcome of the study revealed that there were no uniform indicators for monitoring, supervision and control of the work and responsibilities of high school principals. The principals, district and Provincial Level Education Officers were not given proper job specifications and resultantly they overlapped the roles and responsibilities of one another, which caused mismanagement. There was partial implementation of educational policies. The study found that although there was strict implementation of financial rules, the academic and professional norms did not receive that much consideration. Mobility of the majority of the principals and district level officers to higher positions was based on seniority from teaching cadre without any prior training in managerial and administrative skills. Communication gap was identified among provincial, district and school level education officers. There was also unnecessary political intervention in recruitment, transfers and in the implementation of rules and policies due to which effective control was not possible. There was no proper system for incentives and disincentives, rewards and i punishments. The study made recommendations including, but not restricted to, formulation of a strategy for effective control of secondary school principals; required the principals to first develop vision and then translate it into implementable objectives; suggested training in administrative, managerial and leadership skills of principals as well as district and Provincial Level Education Officers for effective performance of their roles. The need for effective coordination between the principals and District Level Education Officers in curricular and co- curricular programmes was also emphasized. It was proposed that the school-based objectives should be in line with the strategies of the national education policy. Further, the relevant provisions of the policy ought to be properly conveyed to the school principals for making a uniform approach in developing their respective institutional policies that will also form basis for the evaluation of the performance of principals. It was also suggested that frequency of evaluation should be on quarterly basis. The indicators for the evaluation of performance of the principals should be uniform, clear and comprehensible and also based on measurable and observable metrics. In order to make these indicators effective, they should align with objectives, standards and needs of the districts to match school context. The study recommended a viable strategy for the control of high school principals, working in public sector.

اسلام میں شعر و شاعری کا تصور

The position of poetry remained unchanged in Islam as it was before Islam, however with due some changes it was used as a weapon for the sake of Islam. This article will explain that how the poetry played a vital role in preaching of Islam. Islam absolutely encourages good wholesome poetry, which inspires one towards the fear of Allah, towards His awe and obedience, and towards anything that is good and made permissible by Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ). Following discussions are made in this article: Firstly Qur’anic views towards poetry; as the word poet came in Qur’an four times while the word poetry once. The total verses in which we see the word poetry are six. Secondly preaching of ethics through poetry; as we see that before Islam the Arab society was without any ethics, the Muslim poet called them for an exemplary life like of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) Using of Qur’anic notion in poetry. Thirdly the Qur’anic notion was used largely in the beginning of Islam, especially by Ḥassān bin Thābit, ʻAbdullāh Bin Rawāḥah, Kaʻb Bin Zubayr and Nābighah Al Jaʻdī etc. Fourthly Answer to non-believers through poetry; as Ḥassān bin Thābit did through his poetry, and answer to the opposition, which impacts more sharp than sword and lastly using of Poetry during the war; it was considered as one of the biggest source for encouraging towards holly wars, the example of Haḍrat Khansā is most prominent. The research article basically focuses upon the importance of poetry in Islam, moreover how the weapon of poetry has been used by Islamic poets for defending Islam and how Islamic poetry vastly used for spreading of golden teachings of Islam.

Impact of Minerals on Selective Biomarkers of Buffaloes in Various Districts of Pujab, Pakistan.

By having the knowledge of mineral status of animals, the various measures should be taken to improve the mineral status by supplementation of minerals as nutrition to the animals. The three animal research farms at three districts (Bhakkar, Khushab and Kasur) of Punjab were selected for sampling purpose. The totals of one hundred and eighty buffaloes were grouped into three categories, (lactating, non-lactating and pregnant). The samples of soil, forage, water, animal milk, blood plasma, hair, urine and feces were collected from all experimental sites. The concentration of minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, manganese, selenium, nickel, cobalt, lead and cadmium) of all collected samples was determined by wet digestion and atomic absorption spectrometer and serum biochemicals (urea, glucose, creatinine, albumin, globulin, total protein, cholesterol, hormones: leutinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and progesterone, vitamins-D & E and enzymes: Alanine transaminase, Aspartate transaminase, Alkaline phosphatase and Lactate dehydrogenase) were also estimated by biochemical tests. The mineral levels of all collected samples were compared to their corresponding values to find mineral imbalances in experimental animals. It was estimated that the levels of Fe, Cu, Ni, Co, Mn, Pb, Cd and Zn were found to be imbalanced in some lactating, non-lactating and pregnant buffaloes.All experimental animals were divided into two groups after estimating mineral levels in collected sample of animals, the group of animals which had normal level of minerals in their blood serum are said to be healthy group HG of animals and the group which had mineral imbalance in blood serum are called affected group of animals. The affected group of animals was further divided into untreated group UG and treated group TG of animals. The HG and UG groups were provided normal diet. The total eleven mineral complexes of glycine and methionine were synthesized by using glycine and methionine amino acids as well as salts of required metals for those affected buffaloes which had mineral imbalances and these complexes were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy before their supplementation to the animals with physiological variations. The trials of supplementing synthesized mineral complexes with rats were also conducted to protect the large ruminants from toxic levels of metals. The TG group of buffaloes all categories were provided by the required synthesized amino acid mineral complexes along with normal diet for duration of thirty days. The level of minerals in all the samplesof HG, UG and TG groups of buffaloes as well as in soil, forage and water were estimated. The selected blood biomarkers were also determined in these animals. The data for different attributes was subjected to a statistical analysis using the Chi Square Test to check the relationship between qualitative variables. In present study the results showed the level of albumin was higher in lactating and pregnant animals of Bhakkar, but that of globulin lower in those of TG groups of animals in Kasur. In Khushab and Bhakkar, the decreased levels of creatinine and glucose in pregnant and non-lactating animals of TG groups of animals. The value of total protein was higher in both lactating and nonlactating animals of TG groups in Khushab. The levels of vitamin-D and E were found to be higher in lactating and non-lactating animals at three districts, while reverse was true for pregnant animals. The lactating and non-lactating animals of TG group had higher levels of cholesterol, but lower level of urea in Bhakkar. The non-lactating animals of TG group had higher levels of LH, FSH and progesterone, in Khushab. The values of ALT and LDH were increased in both lactating and pregnant animals of TG group in Khushab, while lower value of AST was found in lactating animals and reverse was true for serum level of ALP in Kasur. The level of biomarkers was affected by mineral levels. The Zn and Ni levels in blood-serum, hair, milk, urine of lactating animals of TG groups were found to be higher significantly. The levels of Fe, Mn and Pb were lower in blood, higher in hair and milk of pregnant animals of TG group in Kasur. The levels of Co and Cd were higher in blood and feces of pregnant animals of Khushab. While Se level was higher in blood and feces and lower in hair and urine of lactating and pregnant animals. The body weight and milk yield of lactating and pregnant animals was increased going towards normality in TG groups of animals after mineral supplementation. It was concluded that by supplementing the selected organic mineral complexes, the levels of biochemicals were changed towards normality to regulate the animal body metabolism properly and in this way their reproductive potential also increase. The metal of these complexes play a central role to maintain structure and mechanism of various metalloenzymes in animal body. These complexes are more water soluble, more bioavailable, and more efficiently used in animal body metabolism. Thus the quality of meat, milk, cheese and wool etc of live stock might be improved and environment may also be protected by reducing metal pollution. These animals are important to improve the rural economy and used to improve the revenue of the poor people.
