The purpose of the study was to find out association between family social capital and academic achievement of the secondary school students. The study was confined to (632) public secondary schools (male and female, urban and rural) in Multan division. The sample of the study was 886 urban students (boys), 785 urban students (girls), 803 rural students (boys) and 337 rural students (girls).The total sample comprised of 2811 students of 9th class. After reviewing the related literature, a hypothetical framework was developed to measure the family social capital of secondary school students. A self-inventory of five point rating scale was developed for the students of 9th class. There were twenty-seven statements about students’ demography. The self-inventory was consisted of sixty statements. The self-inventory was divided into six components: education level of the family, family-child relationships, familial monitoring, family expectations, parenting style (attitude) and parent-school association. The validation of research instrument was checked by five research-experts in education. The reliability of research instrument was .89. The factor loading of components of family social capital was determined by using Component Factor Analysis (Exploratory Factor Analysis). Sampling Adequacy was measured by using KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin) of Sampling Adequacy that was .92(marvelous). Academic achievement of the students were determined from the marks of SSC Examinations year 2015. Data collected from the students were analyzed on SPSS-20.Crosstabulation, Chi-square and tests of significance were applied to determine the association between family social capital and academic achievement of secondary school students. Through this study, it was found that most of the components of family social capital e.g. education level of the family, family-child relationships, familial monitoring, parenting style and parent-school association and demographic variables e.g. monthly income of a family, property of a family, mobile phone (possessing by the students), doing work for earning after school time by the students, had association with students’ academic achievement. Only a few variables e.g. family size, family structure and family order had no association with students’ academic achievement. From this study, it was concluded that, family social capital was closely related to academic achievement of secondary school students. It means that, if the family social capital of a student was greater, he/she achieved good grades and vice versa. From this study, it was concluded that, if the education level of a family was higher, then their children got good grades. From this study, it was determined that if the parents establish close relationships with their children because these relationships develop the confidence in children. As a result, they will get good grades. From this study, it was concluded that, if the parents monitor all the activities of their children to determine their problems and try their best to solve these problems. Their children will achieve good grades. From this study, it was also concluded that if the parents make their attitude democratic in their home. This attitude will develop the personality of the children as a whole. They would study whole-heartedly and, as a result, they will get good marks. From this study, it was concluded that, mobile phone spoiled the children (boys and girls). So the parents should not give them mobile phone although they afford to purchase it for them. Parents should not let the children to work for earning after school time because this study showed that this work had bad effects on students’ results.

شوق کی منزل

شوق کی منزل
ڈاکٹر فہدؔ ملک
یوں تومیرا تعلق پیشے کے لحاظ سے طب یعنی ڈاکٹر ی سے ہے مگر میں نے کبھی ڈاکٹر ہونے یا طب کی دنیا میں بڑا نام کمانے کو اپنی منزل اور کامیابی نہیں سمجھا۔ مجھ پر میری کامیابی یا شوق کی منزل کا راز تب اِفشا ہوا جب زندگی نے مجھے اپنا دوسرا تعارف کروایا۔ وہ تعارفد جو کتابوں مین نہیں پڑھا یا جاتا بلکہ استاد، درد، اداسی کے دبستان میں آپ کو کرواتے اور پڑھاتے ہیں۔
دیگر دنیاوی دبستانوں کی طرح یہاں کے کچھ طالب علم بھی بھگوڑے ثابت ہوتے ہیں ،بلکہ اکثریت ہی اتنے سخت استاد کو دیکھ کر بھاگ کھڑی ہوتی ہے مگر کچھ لوگ ہم جیسے بھی ہیں جو یہاں پکّے ہو جاتے ہیں، جنھیں استاد کی سختی کے پیچھے چھپا معنی مل جاتا ہے۔ یوں اُن کی منزل اور شوق دیگر دنیا والوں سے مختلف ہو جاتے ہیں۔
زندگی ایسے دبستانوں میں آپ کو اوندھے منہ گرا جاتی ہے مگر بعد میں یہاں رہنا آپ کا شوق بن جاتا ہے جو دیگر تمام شوق کی مزلوں کا رخ یکسر بدل دیتا ہے۔ چوں کہ میں اس دبستان کا مستقل طالب علم ہو گیا تو خوش قسمتی سے میرے شوق پھر وہ نہیں رہے جو دنیا نے مجھے گھڑ کے دیے تھے،یعنی بڑا طبیب بن جانا میری کامیابی ہے یا طب کی دنیا میں راج کرنا میری کامیابی ہے۔
اس سب کو دیکھ لینے کے بعد جو کامیابی کے معانی سامنے آئے وہ ان سب سے یکسر مختلف تھے۔ پھر جو شوق کی منزل نظر آنے لگی وہ ان تمام سے پرے تھی اور شوق کیا بنا، شاعری بنی، فلسفہ بنا، زندگی کے معانی کی تلاش بنی، حسنِ کردار بنا اور کامیابی کیا بنی یہی کہ اپنی حیات میں ایک بڑا شاعر ایک فلسفی اور زندگی کے...

Implementation of Gaussian Process Regression in Estimating Motor Vehicle Insurance Claims Reserves

This study aims to calculate the allowance for losses by applying Gaussian Process regression to estimate future claims. Modeling is done on motor vehicle insurance data. The data used in this study are historical data on PT XYZ's motor vehicle insurance business line during 2017 and 2019 (January 2017 to December 2019). Data analysis will be carried out on the 2017 - 2019 data to obtain an estimate of the claim reserves in the following year, namely 2018 - 2020. This study uses the Chain Ladder method which is the most popular loss reserving method in theory and practice. The estimation results show that the Gaussian Process Regression method is very flexible and can be applied without much adjustment. These results were also compared with the Chain Ladder method. Estimated claim reserves for PT XYZ's motor vehicle business line using the chain-ladder method, the company must provide funds for 2017 of 8,997,979,222 IDR in 2018 16,194,503,605 IDR in 2019 amounting to Rp. 1,719,764,520 for backup. Meanwhile, by using the Bayessian Gaussian Process method, the company must provide funds for 2017 of 9,060,965,077 IDR in 2018 amounting to 16,307,865,130 IDR, and in 2019 1,731,802,871 IDR for backup. The more conservative Bayessian Gaussian Process method. Motor vehicle insurance data has a short development time (claims occur) so that it is included in the short-tail type of business.

The Morphology of Coating-Substrate Interface in Hot-Dip-Aluminized Steels

In Hot-Dip-Aluminized steels, the morphology and the profile of the interface between the aluminum coating and the substrate steel, are affected both by the composition of the molten aluminum as well as by the composition, and even the microstructure, of the substrate steel. This effect has been investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The reaction between the steel and the molten aluminum leads to the formation of Fe-Al intermetallic compounds on the steel surface. The thickness and the morphology of the interlayer vary with the silicon-content of the molten aluminum. In hot-dip-aluminizing with pure aluminum, the interlayer is ‘thick’ and exhibits a finger-like growth into the steel. With a gradual addition of silicon into the aluminum melt, the thickness of the interlayer decreases and the interface between the interlayer and the substrate successively becomes ‘smoother’.With an increase in the carbon-content of the substrate steel the growth of the interlayer into the steel is impeded by the pearlite phase, whereas the ferrite phase appears to dissolve more readily. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic studies showed that the interlayer formed in samples aluminized in pure aluminum, essentially consisted of orthorhombic Fe2Al5, while with a gradual addition of silicon into the aluminum melt, a cubic phase based on Fe3Al also started to form in the interlayer and replaced most of the Fe2Al5. It was further observed that the grains of Fe2Al5 phase exhibited a preferred lattice orientation, and also that even when other phases are present in the interlayer, the phase at the transformation front is always the Fe2Al5. Bending experiments carried out on aluminized specimens showed that as the thickness of the inter-metallic layer increased the angle, at which the start of the cracking in the aluminum coating during bending was observed, decreased. Metallographic examination of bent samples showed that the interlayer developed cracking much earlier than the appearance of the cracks on the surface. These experiments suggested that the aluminized steel flats (or sheets) exhibit very limited formability.
