Human Resource Management (HRM) is a very essential tool of the organizations. Now-a-days its importance has increased because of the heterogeneous work force. Globalization has resulted in the “Managing Diversity”, the prime aim of which is to provide equitable work environment for heterogeneous work force to perform to its potentials. One of the tools of the managing diversity is Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO). EEO prohibits all forms of employment discrimination. Affirmative Action (AA) is a supportive tool of EEO to correct the employment number mistake of the past. If EEO is not operating properly it will result in Sticky Floor and Glass Ceiling effects. This thesis examines Gender Discrimination through Sticky Floor (Horizontal Discrimination) and Glass Ceiling (Vertical Discrimination) effects. Horizontal discrimination is examined through employment, trainings, assignments and behavior at work place; vertical discrimination is examined through promotions and wage gap. Close ended questionnaire was administered from 526 samples-242 males and 282 females- of lower, middle and higher category employees of public and private health and education departments of Hyderabad and Jamshoro districts. The findings showed that females are discriminated more than males in employment, assignments, trainings, and behavior; more in public sector than in private sector. In terms of promotions there is no any significant discrimination against females in any of the sector. Study has also found that females in all age groups are discriminated more than males in public organizations than in private organizations. However females in age group 31-40 years are discriminated more and in age group 41-50 less. Effect of viiimarital status on gender discrimination in workforce is not different for females and males in public organizations than private organizations. The effect of children on gender discrimination in workforce is not different for females and males in public organizations than private organizations. The effect of domicile on gender discrimination in workforce is not different for females and males in public organizations than private organizations. Females are discriminated more than males in majority of the post groups (designation they hold) in both organizations. ‘paramedical’ females in public health department and ‘nurse’ in private health department and ‘HST’ in public and private education department face more discrimination; whereas ‘professors’ in public and private health department and ‘university professors’ in public and private education department face less discrimination. The effect of social class on gender discrimination in workforce is not different for females and males in public organizations than private organizations. The effect of district on gender discrimination in workforce is different for females and males in public organizations than private organizations. The effect of organization on gender discrimination in workforce is not different for females and males in public organizations than private organizations. Females are discriminated more than males in majority of the current salary groups in both organizations. In both sectors, females of salary group ‘5,100 to 8,000’ face more discrimination and ‘more than 50,000’ face less discrimination. The influence of education on gender discrimination is not different for males and females in private organizations than in public organizations. However, females of education group ‘intermediate’ face more discrimination and ‘PhD’ face less discrimination in public sector and females of education group ix‘matriculation’ face more discrimination and ‘MPhil’ face less discrimination in private sector. Females are paid less than males and that wage gap is more in private sector than public sector, though they have equal educational attainment level in both sectors. The findings have also shown that gender discrimination is inversely proportional with job satisfaction and motivation and commitment and enthusiasm, and directly proportional with the stress level.

ذاتی مفادات اور عناد پر لڑائی جھگڑے

ذاتی عناد اور مفاد پر لڑائی جھگڑے

                ہمارے معاشرے کو آج پہلی ضرورت تو یکجہتی کی ہے۔ خود غرضی، قتل وغارت، لوٹ مار انتشار اور خلفشار کو ختم کرنے کے لیے انسانی یکجہتی کی ضرورت ہے اور اس کے لیے ہمیں اپنے مفاد اور دشمنی کو بھلا کرملک کا سوچنا ہو گا۔ذاتی عناد کی خاطر جب ہم دوسروں کی خوشیوں کو قربان کردیتے ہیں تو گویا ہم اس راستے پر چل نکلتے ہیںجو منزل سے محروم ہے ، کٹھن سفر مقدر بن جاتا ہے۔اس میں کوئی شک نہیں کہ اتحاد،ایمان ، اتفاق اور یکجہتی انسان کی سب سے بڑی طاقت ہے۔ایک کامیاب زندگی گزارنے کے لیے ہمیں اس کو اپنا شعار بنانا ہو گا۔ اس سے ہی تہذیب، وجود اور سماجی نظام نشوونما پاتے ہیں۔مگر اس حقیقت کو جانتے ہوئے بھی کہ اتحاد ہی ہمارا ترقی کی طرف پہلا قدم ہے ہم بدقسمتی سے ایسے معاشرے کا حصہ ہیں جہاں یکجہتی کا فقدان ہے۔خوشیوں سے محروم انسانوں کے مسائل سے قطع تعلقی کی وجہ سے یہ خامی جڑ پکڑتی جا رہی ہے۔

                دنیا کی تمام اقوام و مذاہب میں یہ شرف سب سے پہلے دین اسلام کو حاصل ہے جس نے یکجہتی کا درس دیا ہے۔بلا تفریق اسلام نیانسانی برادری اور مذہب وملت کا وہ نقشہ کھینچا ہے جس پر سچے دل سے عمل کیا جائے تو یہ ذاتی عناد اور مفاد پر لڑائی جھگڑے کرنے والی دنیا جنت کا منظر پیش کرنے لگے۔ ہمیں خود اس بات کا اعتراف کرنا ہے کہ ہم ہی دست  وبازو اور شریک کار ہیں جو انتشار کی وجہ بنے ہیں۔اس معاشرتی پس ماندگی کو ختم کرنا ہو گا اور اس کے لیے بھی ہمیں خود ہی کوشش کرنا ہو گی۔ اقتدار کے نام پر اور دوسروں  سے اختلاف کے چکر...

تفسیر جلالین میں اسرائیلی روایات کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Holy Quran is the most sacred scripture bestowed by Allah Almighty upon his bellowed prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Unlike other scriptures, Allah Almighty himself took the responsibility of safety and safe custody of the Holy Quran. That is why, despite passage of more than 1400 years, the Holy Quran remained intact, wordwise as well as meaningwise and will remain intact till the end of the world. Such a unique status of the Holy Quran could not be tolerated by the enemies of Islam and Prophet of Islam. Therefore, they decided to present Holy Quran as a defective document before its readers. For this purpose, they chose to highlight and exploit the short and abbreviated incidents, described by the Holy Quran, under the term of “Muthashalihat”, by adding and narrating false, nonsense and most astonishing stories, just to divert attention of the readers from the basic learning of Holy Quran, towards un-realistic and bogus stories. Accordingly majority of the readers have shown great interest in these stories, which fall under the title of Israiliat Unfortunately, the said stories are included in dozens of Translations Tafaseer of the Holy Quran. In order to acquaint readers of the actual status of Israiliat, the undersigned has started working on the subject. Since Tafseer-e-Jalalain is included in the Syllabus of Maddaris and being taught for the last many years, therefore, I have chosen the same in the first instance, and pray Allah Almighty to help me out in completing my assignment.

Genetic Analyses of the Major Tribes of Abbottabad and Mansehra Districts Through Dental Morphology and Dna Analyses

The Hazara Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province-Pakistan possesses an interesting combination of social integrity in the ethnic diversity of the region. People of the area can broadly be divided into the ancient Dards, Kushans and recently arrived people of Pathan dynasties. A number of references are available about the history and culture of the area but the general biology and phylogenetic relationship of people of the area based upon sound scientific grounds are still lacking. This dissertation provides first-hand information with reference to some of the important tribes of the area analyzed through variation in dental morphology, mitochondrial DNA sequences and haplotypic diversity in the people of central districts viz. Abbottabad and Mansehra of Hazara Division. The study was conducted from October 2010 to March 2014. Seven tribes viz. Abbassi, Awan, Gujar, Jadoon, Karlal, Syed and Tanoli were included in this study. Collection of dental casts, saliva samples for DNA isolation, optimization of PCR conditions, gene clean protocols and data analyses etc. were done in the Human Genetics Lab, Department of Genetics Hazara University. All the selected tribes were analyzed for Hyper Variable Sequences of mitochondrial DNA (HVS1 & 2 mtDNA) for determination of maternal affinities, diversity in the hypervariable region and availability of haplogroups, in different tribes. Each one of the dental casts was analyzed for a set of 17 tooth-trait combinations scored 150 individuals (75 males and 75 females) of each tribe in accordance with the Arizona State University Dental Morphology System. Only scorable samples from 393 individuals belonging to five ethnic groups i.e. Awans, Gujars, Karlals, Syeds and Tanolis were analyzed and included in this dissertation for elaborating the internationally available 22 populations of 2,433 prehistoric and living individuals of the region through Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, Neighbor Joining Cluster Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling and Principal Coordinates Analysis. Results of the dental trait analyses revealed highly consistent patterns across the data reduction schemes. All the ethnic groups of Abbottabad and Mansehra clustered separately and shared no affinity with the prehistoric Central XVI Asians, the prehistoric inhabitants of the Indus Valley or living communities of peninsular India. Though all the tribes has retained their own identity and seems to be polyphyletic in origin; the Syeds, Gujars and Karlals proved more closely related to one another among the analyzed tribes. Results of the hyper variable sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of individuals from all the seven tribes analyzed for determination of maternal affinities through diversity in the hypervariable region and haplogroups diversity with respect to hypervariable sequence I (HVSI) analyzed from 223 individuals of the 7 tribes revealed 83 haplotypes with the 39 unique one. The haplogroup H proved the most frequent containing 40% of the analyzed people followed by haplogroup M which was recorded in 21.8% of the sampled populations. Results of the hypervariable sequence II (HVSII) obtained from 298 individuals of the seven tribes yielded 78 haplotypes. The most frequent haplogroup with respect to HVS II was haplogroup R, which was represented by 53 percent of the sampled population. The R group was followed by haplogroup M with 32% of individuals. The mega haplogroups recorded for the major ethnic groups of Abbottabad and Mansehra were H, R and M. These haplogroup distributions among the analyzed samples revealed the genetic lineage of people of Pakistani ancestry, with components from West Eurasia, South Asia, and a very limited contribution from Sub-Saharan haplogroups. The results provide a genetic baseline for understanding the biological affinities of the selected tribes of Abbottabad and Mansehra, and can be used as a useful source for forensic examination, molecular anthropology and population genetics of the people of the area.
