The stigmatic predicament of domestic violence against women (DVAW) is quite common in Pakistan. The knowledge generation and technological advancements have by and large degenerative with respect to DVAW; since the negative forces and stratagems are overwhelmingly dominating the preventive and the preemptive strategies and enactments. Pakistan is no exception, the issue is embracing, most tiers of the society like an octopus, though the degree and outlook could vary from culture to culture. Here, in termsof trend projection, around 30 % to 40 % of victims lament some sort of violence against them. With this conceptual understanding in mind, the present study was undertaken; and six districts of the province of Punjab (Pakistan) were selected. The quantitative and qualitative data were collected through the instruments of the questionnaire, FGDs, and Expert Interviews. The Chi-square test was also applied to determine the significance of relationships between various variables. Consolidating the findings of all the survey instruments, one must ascertain that the issue of DVAW in Pakistan is heinous and needs serious redress at multiple levels especially the government, community, NGOs and the media. The victims are generally suffered at the hands of social,economic and legislatory setback. These setbacks could be phrased in terms of lack of education, poor economic standing and Pakistani male-chauvinism where the cushion being the hollow legislation and ceremonial implementation thereof. As the saying goes,„tries die from the top‟, the provincial government needs to play its due role and come forward with a „bold legislation‟ and a „blind implementation‟that can bull-doze any force that can potentially emerge as manipulative rather exploitative; and the remaining machinery of the country would naturally dog after it; where the principal components of the machinery include the local governments, NGOs and the media. If not, the central government would be an accomplice to the forces and entities that practically render and declare, „frailty thy name‟s woman.‟ (Shakespeare)
قریشی ثناء اﷲ (۱۹۲۰۔۱۸۲۵) ظفروال میں پیدا ہوئے۔ آپ قریشی تخلص کرتے تھے۔ صاحبِ طرز شاعر تھے۔ زمانہ کی دست برد کی وجہ سے آپ کا کلام نہیں ملتا۔ چند اشعار آپ کے ایک شاگرد رشید کی بیاض سے دستیاب ہوئے ہیں۔ ’’سرزمینِ ظفر وال‘‘ ظفر وال کے شعرا کے تذکرے سے بھی آپ کے کچھ اشعار ملاحظہ کئے جا سکتے ہیں:
مجرم نیا ہوں مرا پیشہ جرم ہے غافل تھا روزہ داری میں تارک نماز سے
بے شک گزر گیا ہوں میں حدِ گناہ سے کرتا رہا ہوں رحمت بے حد پہ ناز سے (۵۸)
Fraud is behavior that is contrary to the law carried out by individuals, both from within and outside the organization, with the intention of gaining personal or group benefit while harming other people. This research aims to determine the influence of professional skepticism, competence, independence and ethics on the auditor's ability to detect fraud. The variables of this research are professional skepticism, competence, independence and ethics as variable This research used census techniques, so the number of samples in this study was 56 people. Data analysis in this study used statistical analysis with Statistical Product and Service for Windows version 26.00 (SPSS version 26). The results of this research show that Professional Skepticism has a significant effect on the auditor's ability to detect fraud, Competence has a significant effect on the auditor's ability to detect fraud, Independence has a significant effect on the auditor's ability to detect fraud, Ethics has a significant effect on the auditor's ability to detect fraud.
ZnO based diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) have been extensively studied during last decade because of their potential applications in spintronic devices. The search for completely new DMS materials with room temperature (RT) ferromagnetism, as well as designing and modification in existing DMS materials are some important and recent issues regarding DMSs. The achievement of RT ferromagnetism in these materials is itself a great challenge. The controversies among researchers suggest that ferromagnetic behavior and its origin in DMSs depends on composition, synthesis conditions, annealing parameters and additional dopants for varying the concentration of carriers as well. A meaningful devotion has been given to magnetic elements (Mn, Ni, Co, and Fe) doped ZnO. Moreover, these compositions have also been treated with some additional thermal treatments and doping of Al for brief and consequential observations. An attention to bulk materials has also been given in this research for more precise studies. We have successfully synthesized the phase pure compositions of Zn0.95Mn0.05O, Zn0.95-xMn0.05AlxO (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10), Zn0.95Ni0.05O, Zn0.95Co0.05O and Zn0.90Co0.05Al0.05O DMSs using sol-gel based auto-combustion and chemically derived co-precipitation techniques. XRD studies revealed the formation of phase pure compositions in most cases without any second or impurity phase. However, some traces of manganese oxide in Mn doped ZnO in Ni doped ZnO were detected in samples thermally treated at higher temperatures and synthesized with co-precipitation technique, respectively. EDX analysis confirmed the incorporation of utilized dopants into ZnO matrix. Morphological studies by SEM and FESEM were carried out to analyze the proportion, uniformity, quality and size of grains. Temperature dependent electrical resistivity measurements depicted the semiconducting behavior of materials. Room temperature ferromagnetism was successfully achieved in Zn0.95Mn0.05O composition. The similar composition of Mn doped ZnO was thermally annealed at various temperatures (400, 600, and 800 °C) for 8 hours. It was observed that crystallinity of the samples improved with increase of temperature of thermal treatment. This improvement in crystallinity also affected the resistivity and magnetization attributed to the dependence of physical properties upon structural arrangement. Temperature dependent electrical resistivity measurements showed a decreasing trend with the doping of Al in ZnMnO, which is attributable to the enhancement of free carriers. The results indicate that Al doping results in significant variation in the concentration of free carriers and correspondingly the carrier-mediated magnetization. Auto-combustion and co-precipitation techniques were employed to prepare the Zn0.95Ni0.05O samples. Room temperature ferromagnetism was detected only in sample synthesized with auto-combustion technique. It was confirmed that synthesis techniques strongly influenced the various properties of diluted magnetic semiconductor materials. Room temperature magnetic measurements reveal the absence of ferromagnetism in Co doped ZnO, while Co and Al co-doped sample display the clear room temperature ferromagnetic behavior. The decrease of resistivity and presence of ferromagnetic behavior in Al doped ZnCoO system corroborates the significant role of free carriers.
