Thesis Title: Developing Teacher Training Curricula to Promote Ecological Awareness at Tertiary Education This research had been planned to develop the Teacher Training Curricula to respond to the society’s call to promote ecological Awareness at tertiary education. The aim was to help produce more knowledgeable, motivated and responsible teachers and active citizens through improved and sustainable teacher education. The researcher proposed to adopt the Curriculum Development route to secure this objective. The researcher had based his approach on a combination of a model presented by Hungerford and Volk (1990). In broad general terms the curriculum development task of this nature had adopted constructivist approach of learning theory. The research had undertaken the task of developing and proving a curriculum pertaining to one of the courses that may be taught as part of Teachers’ training curriculum. The course thus developed had been purpose-designed to enhance ecological awareness among trainee teachers. An Awareness scale had measured the pre-test and post-test levels of ecological awareness and relative gain had been used as an indicator of the success of the class experiment. The prosecution of central hypotheses had followed a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Curriculum development process had been guided by the following framework: (1) Review of Literature to establish the state of research on the subject, (2) content analysis of the prevailing curriculum in one of the ICT Teachers Training Institutes, (3) Development of the curriculum and the teaching contents/materials of one of the courses especially oriented to enhance ecological awareness in trainee teachers, (4) Class experiment, (5) assessment of gain, and (6) assessment of the success of the class experiment. The study had been significant in enhancing the effectiveness of teachers’ training curricula in promoting ecological concerns at tertiary level of education. It had been expected that trainee teachers made conscious of their environmental responsibilities would help educate our future generations along these lines and produce environmentally responsible citizens. This would in turn help achieve national agenda on environmental protection aimed at preventing further damage to environment and initiating a recovery. Key Words (1) Environmental Science, (2) Environmental Activism, (3) Environmental Advocacy, and (4) Environmental Justice

ابروئوںکے خم میں گھبراتا ہے دل

ابروئوں کے خم میں گھبراتا ہے دل
ان لبوں کا مصرع بہلاتا ہے دل

گفتگو سن کر فصاحت داد دے
دیکھ کر چہرہ مچل جاتا ہے دل

تیرہ چہرہ خواب نگری کا امیں
جاگ جائوں پھر بھی سو جاتا ہے دل

روزِ اول سے جہانِ عشق میں
عقل کو ہر بات سمجھاتا ہے دل

آسمانوں سے کچھ آگے ناز سے
حضرتِ یزداں سے مل آتا ہے دل

تم سے ہے یہ سب جہانِ رنگ و بو
تم کو بھی یہ بات سمجھاتا ہے دل

یہ فراق آلود موسم ہے فضاؔ
ایسے موسم میں تو بھر آتا ہے دل

Localization on the palmar face of the hand of a Darier-Ferrand dermatofiborosarcoma. About a case

Darier-Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma is a rare but not exceptional malignant mesenchymal skin tumor, representing 0.1 % of malignant skin tumors. It is characterized by high recurrence, slow growth and low metastatic potential. Although several clinical cases of an unusual variant of Darier-Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma have been reported in the literature, localization on the palmar face of the hand is not common. We report a case of Darier and Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma at the level of the fourth commissure of the palm of the left hand in a 43- year-old young Malagasy adult treated by a large surgical excision with a healthy margin of two centimeters associated with adjuvant chemotherapy with Imatinib.

Comparative Study on Need- Based Work Motivation Among Employees of Public and Private Universities of Punjab, Pakistan

The study was based on an investigation about employee motivation practices in universities of Punjab. In this regard objectives of the study involved to assess the factors serving as motivation force for employees, comparison of motivational factors considered significant for employees of public and private universities, to compare motivation techniques used by public and private universities for employees and to evaluate the effect of motivation technique on motivation factors. Employee from public and private universities of Punjab responded against two study questionnaires (MFAS & MTAS). These tools of data collection were developed by the researcher in light of related literature and researches. Various statistical tests were used for data analysis like correlation, t-test, regression, percentages and factor analysis. A pilot testing was conducted for the verification of the tool with reference to its reliability and validity. Total faculty members of all public and private universities located in province of Punjab, Pakistan was population of this research. For sample selection, proportional stratified sampling technique was applied and ten percent (11%) members out of population were taken as sample. These questionnaires were distributed among 1033 faculty members which was desired sample size and finally 940 questionnaires were received in complete form. Responses received from the respondents were interpreted and analyzed through SPSS 16th edition. The analysis provided a significant interrelationship among scales and subscales. Data presented high motivation level of private universities' employees as compare to public sector universities' employees. But private universities were found to be incapable of fair and frequent distribution of intrinsic and extrinsic techniques. In this regard public sector universities of Punjab were better in terms of integration of intrinsic and extrinsic techniques with management practices. The study was highlighted a need to explore some other areas responsible for ineffectiveness of motivational techniques in regards of employees motivation. The study findings might be helpful in figuring out deficit areas causing low or no motivation. Need for proper and regular development programs for managers of an organization was also considered imperative so that psychological factors could be addressed.
