Time management is very important in personal as well as in professional life of university teachers. Poor time management results in destructive psychological outcomes in personal and professional life of university teachers. Therefore the present study is based on the Process Model of Time Management by Macan (1994). The study aimed to examine the mediating role of perceived control of time between time management behaviour and psychological outcomes among university teachers. The study also examined the direct effect of time management behaviour and perceived control of time on the prediction of personal and job-related outcomes. Moreover role of time management behaviour in the prediction of perceived control of time was also investigated. The present study is based on cross-sectional survey research design. Sample of the present study comprised of university teachers (N = 300). Seven self-report measures were used for data collection including Time Management Behaviour Scale, Perceived Control of Time Scale, Warwick Edinberg Mental Well-being Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale, In Role Performance Scale, and Role Overload Scale. Overall research was divided into two parts. Firstly, pilot study was carried out in order to examine the psychometric properties of the scales and exploration of the direction of relationship between variables. Pilot study was conducted on the limited sample of university teachers (N = 100). Pilot study participants were not included as main study participants. After pilot testing, main study was carried out. Sample of the main study comprised of university teachers from different public and private sector universities of Pakistan (N = 300). Both male and female university teachers were included in the sample. Age ranged from 28 to 38 years (M = 35.42, SD = 10.79) participated in this research. Only regular university teachers with at least on year full time teaching experience were included in the sample. However, the experience of teachers fluctuated between 1 to 37 years (M = 5.87, SD = 4.60). The qualification level of university teachers was MA / MSc (n = 64, 21.3%), MPhil / MS (n = 133, 44.3%) and PhD (n = 103, 34.3%). Linear regression analysis and hierarchical regression was computed to test the hypotheses. Most of the hypotheses were supported in the present study. Results of the linear regression analysis reveal that time management behaviour positively predicted well-being whereas negatively predicted stress among university teachers. Time management behaviour positively predicted job satisfaction and job performance whereas negatively predicted role overload among university teachers. Time management behaviour positively predicted perceived control of time. Perceived control of time positively predicted well-being whereas negatively predicted stress among university teachers. Perceived control of time positively predicted job satisfaction and job performance whereas negatively predicted role overload. Results of the hierarchical regression analysis revealed that perceived control of time mediated between time management behaviour and well-being among university teachers. Perceived control of time mediated between time management behaviour and stress among university teachers. Perceived control of time mediated between time management behaviour and job satisfaction among university teachers. Similarly, perceived control of time mediated between time management behaviour and job performance among university teachers. The findings confirmed the underlying empirical assumptions of the Process Model of Time Management Overall the findings are valuable in the fields of educational and organizational psychology. The recommendations of the study were discussed under the limitations and suggestions.

Academic Research on Non- Muslim Religious Minorities Content analysis of the Research papers from a Pakistani Perspective

This study aims to examine research papers on religious minorities to determine their issues, rights, and privileges in Pakistan. In a civilized society, everyone has basic rights regardless of race, color, or religion. Everyone has cultural, political, religious, and constitutional freedom in a peaceful society. In general, it is perceived that, in Pakistan, followers of other religions than Islam are not given their essential rights, especially regarding their religious rights. To secure minority participation in decision-making, they may reserve seats in administration and parliament, organize national and local minority consultative organizations, and provide cultural or territorial autonomy. In the context of Pakistan, the school curriculum and state policies are viewed as the primary causes of prejudice against minorities. However, numerous other elements may contribute to the establishment of attitudes about them. Therefore, in order to reveal and appropriately address the issue, this study will use qualitative research methodology with an analytical research approach. Rights, issues, and problems of minorities have been a matter of concern to various scholars, states, and societies throughout history and in the contemporary era too. The study suggests that there should be made awareness at the grassroots level and the removal of obstacles to the greater good of humanity.

Genetic Polymorphism and Relative Expression of Mdr1 in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Chemoresistance against multiple anti-cancer drug regimens being reported in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the major therapeutic concerns against the refractory childhood leukemia in the region. The current research project was aimed to study the genetic basis of individualized drug responsiveness and multidrug resistance among the local population suffering from ALL, based on a most important SNP rs1045642 (C3435T) on exon 26 of mdr1 gene. The SNP rs1045642 is associated with functional polymorphism of human permeability glycoprotein (P-gp). One hundred total human subjects were enrolled (n=100) both male and female ALL patients from local public hospitals including a healthy group (n=20). Automated complete blood counts (CBC) and microscopic examination of peripheral blood film were done. A phenotypic study of P-gp in the normal group was performed through HPLC-based measurement of plasma digoxin level followed by its oral administration. Protein expression of Mdr1 among the study population was evaluated by plasma P-Glycoprotein activity by highly specific Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the human P-gp monoclonal antibody. The mdr1 gene region of genomic DNA extracted from human lymphocytes was amplified by PCR using specific primers and the PCR product was run on agarose gel electrophoresis. The obtained amplified PCR product was restricted with the restriction endonuclease enzyme MboI specific for the mdr1 gene (for rs1045642) by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) to study the genotypes. The genotype frequency of MDR1 C3435T polymorphism for CC, CT, and TT variants were 35%, 43.75%, and 21.25% respectively. The MDR1 C3435T polymorphism has found significantly associated (p-value = 0.013) with plasma P-gp expression (ng/mL). The wild-type homozygous 3435CC individuals demonstrate the hyperexpression of P-gp as compared to 3435TT genotypes. The higher P-gp activity in 3435CC genotypes was found to be associated with relatively lower plasma digoxin concentration at predefined time intervals after oral digoxin intake (0.25mg), owing to the P-gp mediated rapid drug efflux resulting in relatively poor absorption from the intestine. The mutant homozygous 3435TT genotype presented lower P-gp activity allowing the higher digoxin uptake resulting in increased digoxin plasma level as compared to individuals with CC genotype. The findings for heterozygous CT genotypes were found inconclusive as variable P-gp phenotypes were observed among the study population. The B-Cell Lymphoma protein-2 (BCL-2) confers chemoresistance as well, through influencing the cancer pathophysiology. Plasma BCL-2 was also quantified by double antibody ELISA method. Plasma total oxidant status and total antioxidant status of leukemia and control samples were evaluated. Serum level of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) predicts the increased anaerobic glycolysis and associated with metabolic modulation in the cancer cells. A strong Warburg effect explained by exaggerated anaerobic glycolysis in cancer cells was depicted by marked high plasma LDH concentration in leukemia population as compared to control group (p<0.05). In the present research, the interplay of BCL-2, total oxidative status (TOS) and LDH has been investigated in ALL patients. The student’s t-test and one-way ANOVA was applied to find out the statistical significance of study groups and genotypic association with phenotypes was evaluated by applying the Pearson’s chisquare test of association. The phenotypic behavior of study population associated with genotypes has been presented by component bat charts, frequency distribution histograms, and probability plots.
