The debate over capital punishment has gained attention of academicians, researchers and policy makers equally. Support or opposition of capital punishment both are backed by the notion of value of human life. It is a quantitative cross-sectional study in its nature and envisaged to explore the perception about effectiveness of capital punishment. A sample of 600 registered lawyers was selected from five district bar associations of Punjab province through random sampling technique. Data were collected through a selfadministered questionnaire and analyzed by applying suitable statistical tests. The objectives of this were to assess the level of awareness about occurrence and reasons of crimes, reasons to support and oppose capital punishment, opinion about crimes on which capital punishment can be awarded and perception about effectiveness of capital punishment as deterrence. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out and results of this research showed that most of the respondents were aware of the occurrence and reasons of crimes. A vast majority of lawyers were in favor of capital punishment due to its significant role in curbing terrorism and violent crimes, particularly in socio-cultural context of Pakistan. They supported capital punishment as effective mean of deterrence against criminal intent and homicide. Miscarriage of justice and sect based victimization were the reasons to oppose the capital punishment. Risk of innocent execution and flaws in police investigation system were also reasons to oppose the capital punishment. This research revealed that respondents having more awareness regarding causes of the crimes perceived capital punishment more effective. However, there was no relationship between the awareness of capital punishment and perceived effectiveness of capital punishment. There was an inverse relationship between reasons to oppose capital punishment and perceived effectiveness of capital punishment. Multivariate analysis revealed a strong association of awareness about punishment, crimes against person, crimes against state and reasons to support capital punishment with effectiveness of capital punishment.

خاندانی پس منظر

                ناطق کا خاندان برصغیر ہند کی تقسیم کے وقت ہندوستان سے ہجرت کرکے پاکستان آگیا تھا۔ وہ اس ہجرت  سے خائف تھے۔ ان کے والد محترم کا نام بشیر تھا۔ان کی عمر 12 سال تھی، جب وہ اپنے خاندان کے ساتھ ہجرت کر کے پاکستان آئے اور پھر یہیں مقیم ٹھہرے۔ انہوں نے تقسیم کے وقت کے مشکل حالات سے نبردآزما ہو کر پاکستان آنے والے اپنے خاندان کی تعداد 20 بتائی ہے جو کہ زندہ بچ گئے تھے لیکن جب وہ اپنے خاندان کے ساتھ ہجرت کر رہے تھے تب تقریبا70ً لوگ قافلے میں شریک تھے مگر جب ہیڈ سلیمانکی کے راستے وہ انڈیا سے پاکستان پہنچے تو تقریباً 50 لوگ شہید ہو گئے۔وہ بتاتے ہیں کہ مشکلات کا سلسلہ یہیں پر نہیں رکا بلکہ پاکستان آنے پر جب اوکاڑہ کے قریب ایک گاؤں میں بس گئے تو ان کے پاس جگہ کی دستاویزات موجود نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے بھی بے شمار پریشانیوں کا سامنا کرنا پڑا۔ہجرت کے دوران خاندان کے پاس تمام جمع پونجی بھی لوٹ لی گئی اس لیے انہیں شدید غربت و افلاس کے حالات سے گزرنا پڑا سادہ طبیعت انسان ہونے کی وجہ سے تمام معاملات سے لاعلم تھے ،نہ کوئی سہولت تھی نہ کوئی ذریعہ معاش تھا پھر وہ بتاتے ہیں کہ ان کے والد معمار بھی تھے  اور معماری کو اپنا پیشہ بنایا اور یہی کام وہ کئی سال تک کرتے رہے۔ پھر یوں ہوا کہ والدہ ماجدہ بیمار پڑ گئیں تو موجود تمام جمع پونجی   بھی ان پہ صرف ہو گئی تب ناطق کے ابا جان نے مڈل ایسٹ جانے کا فیصلہ کیا۔ معماری کا کام  انھوں  نے وہا ں بھی جاری رکھا اور تقریباً چار سال کا عرصہ وہاں گزارا۔ چار سال تک وہ ایران  اور شام محنت مزدوری کرتے رہے...

EFEKTIVITAS MEDIA POWER POINT UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR MEMBACA PEMAHAMAN SISWA KELAS III SD INPRES PARANG MAKASSAR

This study aims to (1) examine the learning outcomes of students' reading comprehension in class III SD Inpres Parang Makassar using power point media; (2) assessing the learning outcomes of students' reading comprehension in grade III SD Inpres Parang Makassar without using power point media; (3) examining the effectiveness of power point media to improve learning outcomes for reading comprehension of third grade students of SD Inpres Parang Makassar. This study used an experimental research design with a posttest only control design. The population of this research is the third grade students of SD Inpres Parang Makassar. The data that had been collected were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and parametric inferential statistics type T Test that were processed using the SPSS version 20 windows computer program. The results of hypothesis testing show that (1) the value of t-count shows the number -9.708 with sig. (2 tailed) = 0.000. At the 95% significance level with 46 degrees of freedom. Because the significance value or p-value <0.005, then the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected or in other words the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores in the experimental class in the learning outcomes of students in class IIIB SD Inpres Parang Makassar. The use of power point media to improve students' reading comprehension learning outcomes of SD Inpres Parang Makassar is more effective using power point media. This can be seen from the t-test calculation of -9.708 with db = 46 at the 5% significance level. These results indicate that the price p = 0.000. The p value is less than 0.05.  

Impact of Job Analysis on Job Performance: A Study of Public Sector Organizations of Pakistan

Job Analysis forms the core of most human resource activities and can perform a number of functions. Researchers in strategic human resource management have established a relationship between human resource management (HRM) practices and organizational performance, but the relationship between HRM practice like Job Analysis – Job Performance, the intervening process recruitment, connecting Job Analysis and Job Performance remains unexplored. This research attempts to assess the impact of Job Analysis on Job Performance on the basis of the opinions of the employees of public sector regulatory authorities. A survey questionnaire was designed and pre-tested. The study was carried out by taking a sample size of 568 employees of Pakistan public sector regulatory authorities from Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) dealing with the telecommunications, oil & gas, power, media, corporate, capital and banking sectors has presented a holistic conceptual framework of human resource practices in relation to recruitment process and its impact on employees’ job performance and subsequent job satisfaction and retention. Results supported the HR-Performance conceptual model by showing significant impact of Human Resource Management practices on job performance. Correlations and regression analyses were used to refine and increase the accuracy of six independent variables of HR practices, one intervening variable conforming to their relationship and impact on dependent variable job performance. Overall, the independent variables explained the positive variations in the dependent variable of job performance followed by the intervening variable, Recruitment. In addition, other statistical tools were also used to analyze the opinions of employees to ascertain differences in various regulatory authorities in relation to size and sector. The results revealed that importance of job analysis has a positive relationship with job performance in all regulatory authorities except OGRA where it has a negative relationship. ivThe study further revealed six relationships showing large effect size correlations between job satisfaction and job succession planning, job security and job succession planning, job succession planning and job performance, job design and job performance, job performance and job satisfaction and job security and job satisfaction. These positive highly significant relationships are the addition to the literature on Human Resource Management particularly with reference to Pakistan. The practice in vogue of only carrying out job analysis for successful recruitment process has met with little success and therefore, other contributing factors like job design, job evaluation, job security and job succession planning, job satisfaction and job retention need to be examined. This study found that job analysis, job evaluation and job retention with the moderating variable Recruitment knowledge, skills and ability (KSA) explained a much larger proportion of the total variance on dependent variable, job performance. The relatively stable standardized beta coefficients generated by job analysis, Job design, job evaluation, job security, job succession planning, job satisfaction and job retention with recruitment, indicating its unique impact, independent of moderators, support the central argument of this study that a job analysis is an important HR strategy to achieve superior job performance results. The study extends to the findings of the HR-job performance research followed in Western countries to a non-Western context.
