The study was designed to investigate the perceptions of principals, teachers, and students regarding capacity building initiatives for Special Children Education of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Those children who are facing some sort of slight impairment can easilyacquire education with normal children. But, the children who are having severe and moderate impairment, need to go to different school, which are especially designed for the special children. Such schools design their own methodology and have different syllabus and methods of instruction. The objectives of the study were to identify the perceptions of students, teachers, and principals regarding capacity building initiatives that are undertaken by different special education institutions for the Special Children Education and formulate workable suggestions for theimprovement ofSpecial Children Education. In order to obtain quantitative and qualitative data in the study, mixed methodology was used which employed a survey questionnaire thatcontained 44 items grouped into 04 broad categories, which were collected from special children and their teacher’s fromtenspecial children schools in Khyber Paktunkhwa. The data were collected from 302 students out of which both were male students and female students of equal number of 151. The total sample teachers were 217 which include 83 male teacher and 45 female teachers.However, the interviews were taken from 10 principals of special children schools. To analyze quantitative data, statistical procedures were run by using SPSS version 16.0. The perceptions of Teachers and students about various capacity building initiatives of students, teachers, and institutions as well as a different problem faced by special children was analyzed by using mean and standard deviation. Secondly, the data was collected through Likert scale which was further put to analyzed through t-test in which Mann Witney U test and Kruskal Wallis U test were applied. As far as qualitative data analysis is concerned, the results from the interview of principals were recorded, coding, theming and documented by making transcripts, along with taking notes by the researcher. The null hypothesis was rejected and it was found out that various services and facilities are provided free to special children in their schools, but most of the time they were neither sufficient nor up-to the mark. As reflected by th quantitative and qualitative data, the curriculum must be equipped with the national and international requirements because the present curriculum needs modification. The data reflected a broad consensus that a teacher may be a good researcher and must be able to tackle classroom problems. There is a need to link research with practice in order to facilitate learning and school life as a whole. It is recommended that all vacant posts of the teachers in the schools need to be fill up as in every special children school there is a shortage of teachers, establish teachers training institutes in the province, initiate awareness campaign on regular basis in order to develop awareness in people and remove the negative attitude towards special children.

ہیں تمھارے یہ سارے خواب ،جناب

ہیں تمھارے یہ سارے خواب، جناب
زلف و لب، دل، جگر، شراب، جناب

ایک ہی جان پر ستم لاکھوں
پلکیں نازک، گراں حباب، جناب

قیس کے پائوں میں ہیں زنجیریں
اور لب پر ہے بس جناب، جناب

ہو گا محشر میں اک نیا محشر
تم سے مانگیں گے جب جواب، جناب

دیکھ لو اب فضا کی آنکھوں میں
چاند، قوسِ قزح، گلاب، جناب

The Creation of Universe in the Light of Quran

The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance. Sura l-Baqarah, verse (67) states:   قَالَ أعُوْذُ بِاللّٰہِ اأنْ أَکُوْنَ مِنَ الْجَھِلِیْنَ۔He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from being among the ignorant. "The Qur'an does not render a coordinated description of the universe Creation and how it will end. In lieu of a continuous story of creation and cease, there are verses dispersed all over the Quran which deal with certain aspects of the universe’s Creation and end. These scattered verses provide information on the sequential events marking its development with varying degrees of detail. The primary objective of this paper is to analyze the Quranic Concept of Universe. The idea of steady state by Hermann Bondi, Thomas Gold, and Fred Hoyle (1948) suggests that this universe is created with big bang, it is expanding and it would be the same, always static, always contracting or always expanding with no end. This is in contrast with the pulsating theory of the accelerating expansion will result in weak gravity which will cause the universe to contract. When this contraction will condense everything back into one single point, this rapid compression will lead to another explosion (often referred to as mini big bang). As a result of which the universe will start expanding again. Hence it results in a pulsating universe in which there is alternate expansion and contraction of universe.  

Morpho-Chemical Characterization of Different Sorghum Genotypes for Nutritional Quality Attributes under Irrigated and Rainfed Conditions

An adequate supply of better quality fodder is necessary to keep animal healthy and productive. Fodder crops provide cheaper feed for animals and play an important role in supplying the necessary nutrition to the livestock. Sorghum is a multi-purpose crop and plays a prime role in providing the fodder to the livestock. Most of the work in the past has been focused on increasing the yield of sorghum fodder but little efforts have been made so far on quality aspects. Keeping in view the importance of cyanide problem in deteriorating the quality of sorghum fodder, present study was conducted to evaluate different sorghum genotypes for fodder yield and its nutritional quality attributes under irrigated as well as rainfed condition. The research work comprising of four experiments, was performed on different sorghum genotypes at Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi. Major objectives of evaluation were to select best sorghum genotypes having higher fodder yield and minimum cyanide content and to find out the gene action governing the control of such traits and genetic variability in sorghum genotypes. Sorghum genotypes were examined for different morphological, biochemical and quality parameters under field as well as laboratory conditions. The performance of two sorghum genotypes viz V-1 and SV-6 was found excellent for total cyanide content, green fodder yield, total sugar content and crude protein under both irrigated as well as rainfed conditions during the two years evaluation. Drought condition resulted in reduction of green fodder yield but cyanide content boosted up under water stress during assessment in two years. Significant G x E interaction was observed during analysis for all the traits under evaluation indicating influence of environment on the performance of sorghum genotypes. Higher phenotypic and genotypic variance estimates than the environmental variance estimates was observed indicating that the variation are genetic in nature and are heritable. Fodder yield and its components showed negative correlation with cyanide content at genotypic and phenotypic levels. Fodder yield, cyanide content and crude protein depicted high heritability and expected genetic advance during study. Partial diallel technique (Circulant Design) given by Kempthorne and Curnow (1964) was utilized to find out the gene action involved in the hereditary transmission of the characters under assessment. The ratio between specific combining ability (SCA) and general combining ability (GCA) variances for all the characters under assessment was greater than unity indicating non additive type of gene action. The parent CVS-13 and SV-6 were found good general combiner for fodder yield and cyanide content respectively. Almost all the characters showed significant better parent heterosis for fodder yield and cyanide content during the study.
