The underlying research study explores effectiveness of the resources for the users in the Central Library, UoP under topic ‘‘Information Seeking Behaviour (ISB) of Teaching Faculty (TF) and Master (Previous/Final Year Students) (MPFYS) Using Central Library, University of Peshawar.’’ The main objectives of this inquiry were to investigate information resources used by the TF & MPFYS of the UoP in the Central Library and to analyze the extent to which the existing information resources met their needs. It was presumed that the TF & MPFYS were dependent on and faced some problems in using resources in the Central Library. The current investigation is based on a population of 5474 from all the six faculties under stratified random sampling of 890 TF & MPFYS. A sequential and quantitative method approach was adopted to collect the research data through questionnaire as in the earlier similar studies most frequently used methodologies were questionnaires and interviews based surveys. An extensive amount of literature available on information needs and information seeking behaviour of the users was reviewed. The past readings also showed that the determined investigation would influence on the information style of the TF & MPFYS. However, literature relevant to the staff and students using Central Library of the University of Peshawar was not available. Information needs and its seeking behaviour had effects in one way or the other on the learning process that the TF & MPFYS used. All the participants of the study were overall dependent on resources of the Central Library of University of Peshawar. These resources were important, satisfactory and preferable to some extent for the respondents. The printed materials and e-resources available in mother or in non-mother languages in the Central Library appealed to a maximum number of users to accomplish their desired pursuits. The respondents were highly satisfied with the subject books, e-resources, reference books and newspapers. They visited the library as frequently as they felt the need of information. They stayed 2-3 hours per week in the library for using the resources in a peaceful environment. Although the findings indicated that the respondents faced several problems, causing anxiety while using resources in the Central Library, yet they could find 50% of their desired information. The respondents had ‘good’ skills to seek help of the library staff in search of information resources in the Central Library, UoP. They could not be satisfied fully with the staff’s help. It was suggested that the Central Library, University of Peshawar should have designed information system, like orientation programme measures, enrolling high qualified and experienced staff to balance development of collection, manage system for human resources development, addition of computers in the laboratory, provision of secondary services and to arrange alternate power supply. This study may well be repeated after every ten years. No such study like the present one in the University of Peshawar has been conducted so far. This study will, therefore, be of great importance for this university, may for any university in the country.

جہانِ رنگ و بو سب عارضی ہے


جہانِ رنگ و بو سب عارضی ہے
نبیؐ کے عشق کا رنگ دائمی ہے

بیانِ وصفِ یکتائیِ گُل سے
چمن زارِ سخن میں دلکشی ہے

بہ فیضِ مدحِ ممدوحِ اِلٰہیؐ
خدا کی ہم نوائی مل گئی ہے

وہی شمس الضحیٰ ، بدرالدجیٰ ہیں
اُنہی کی چار سُو جلوہ گری ہے

کھلے گا غنچۂ شوقِ تمنّا
مری اُمید کی کونپل ہری ہے

کہیں گے ان شاء اللہ ایک دن ہم
’’مدینے تک رسائی مل گئی ہے‘‘

ملا جس ذات سے عرفانِؔ کامل
مرے ایمان کا حاصل وہی ہے

Pedagogical Innovation in Universities' Teaching

Pedagogical innovation is critical in the twenty-first century, and each university, classroom or educational institution must take this point as an ultimate goal of their educational system. Professors are responsible for preparing students to tackle new challenges, which is why innovative teaching methods have become important for keeping spirit up. This paper sheds light on pedagogical innovation at universities and give a review of its many forms, features, methodologies, and significance in the twenty-first century. It has been found that the types of pedagogical innovation are classified socially and technically. Moreover, the paper asserts that the innovative teaching methods do not consider all students at the same comprehension level according to their different abilities and skills.

Measurements of Inclusive and Differential Cross-Sections of Single-Top T-Channel Production at P S = 8 Tev With the Cms Detector

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a top-quark factory, the large number of the topquarks are produced which can be used to measure various properties of the top-quark with a much higher precision. This thesis describes the single-top-quark t-channel inclusive and differential cross-section measurements in a proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV using lepton+jets in the final state. The results for the inclusive cross-section and the differential cross-section measurements are based on a data set which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb?1 recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measured inclusive production cross-section of the t-channel single-top-quark is: st?ch. = 83.6 2.3 (stat.) 7.4 (syst.) pb. The measured single t and t production cross-sections in the t-channel is: st?ch.(t) = 53.8 1.5 (stat.) 4.4 (syst.) pb, st?ch.(t) = 27.6 1.3 (stat.) 3.7 (syst.) pb. The measured cross-section ratio, top-quark(t) and the anti-top-quark(t), when separated on the basis of charged lepton at p s = 8 TeV is: Rt?ch. = st?ch.(t)/st?ch.(t) = 1.95 0.10 (stat.) 0.19 (syst.), and the measurement of CKM matrix element, j fLvVtbj = 0.979 0.045 (exp.) 0.016 (theo.), comes out to be in good agreement with the standard model predictions. The single-topquark differential cross-section measurements as a function of the top-quark pT and jyj are performed. The differential cross-section measurements are essential for the comparison of the QCD predictions in the standard model. The measured normalized differential cross-sections come out to be in a remarkable agreement with the various theoretical predictions.
