“The Role of Geography in Human Security: A Case Study of Gilgit-Baltistan” The research on “The Role of Geography in Human Security: A Case Study of Gilgit-Baltistan” primarily focuses on the function of geography both as an impediment and expedient for human security in the region. It explores into the risks posed by geography as well as the dividends that may be accrued for improvement of human security profile and in turn the peace and conflict state in the region. Mixed method, i.e. a combination of quantitative and qualitative research techniques, has been used. The theoretical framework of geo-humanism has been evolved to determine the role of geography in human security. The matrix of geo-humanism includes geography-technology-governance (GTG) process to improve the human security profile of a region. The physical geography of Gilgit-Baltistan has been analyzed in the light of the five themes of geography adopted by the Association of American Geographers in 1984 to include location, place, movement, human-environment interaction and region. The interaction of geography has been studied in the light of seven subsets of human security as enunciated in the United Nations Development Programme’s Human Development Report of 1997. Details of human geography and contextual makeup of GB include historical perspective, administrative structure, sectarian profile, linguistic makeup, ethnic profile, the cultural geography, and the interaction between geography, history and culture. The theoretical framework of geo-humanism has been applied to GB as a case study. Public opinion based on the survey, using a mixed method to include cluster and random survey techniques, has been carried out in GB region, which verify a number of key assumptions and validates key assumptions. Findings of the study validate the hypothesis. The findings of the dissertation confirm a strong role of geography in human security makeup of the GB region, and governance and technology as the remedies. Political security is greatly influenced by geography in a number of ways. Economic security of GB is primarily dependent on the geographic dividends or difficulties. Food security, which has its roots in agriculture, is purely dependent on geo-climatic conditions of the region. Geo-climatic conditions have both positive and negative effects on health security profile of the region.
پروفیسر مقبول احمد یہ سطریں زیر تحریر تھیں کہ ایک بڑے عالم و فاضل اور محقق پروفیسر مقبول احمد کی وفات کی خبر ملی، اِناﷲ وَ اِنا اِلَیہ رَاجِعُون۔ وہ علی گڑھ مسلم یونیورسٹی کے شعبہ عربی و اسلامیات سے برسوں وابستہ رہے، انہی کی کوششوں سے یونیورسٹی میں ویسٹ ایشین اسٹڈیز کا شعبہ قائم ہوا، پھر کشمیر چلے گئے اور کشمیر یونیورسٹی میں سینٹرل ایشین اسٹڈیز کا سینٹر اور اسلامی کتب و نوادر کا میوزیم قائم کیا، شاہ حسین کی دعوت پر مشیر تعلیم کی حیثیت سے اردن گئے۔ مغربی ممالک کی سیاحت بھی کی برسوں آل انڈیا اسلامک اسٹڈیز کے جنرل سکریٹری رہے، جس کے باوقار سیمینار ملک بھر میں ہوتے تھے، حکومت ہند کے عربی مجلہ ثقافۃ الہند کے مدیر اور ذاکر حسین انسٹی ٹیوٹ کے سہ ماہی رسالہ ’’اسلام و عصر جدید‘‘ کی ادارت سے بھی منسلک رہے، ریٹائرڈ ہونے کے بعد پروفیسر ایمرٹس ہوئے، تصنیف و تالیف سے برابر اشتغال رہا اور مختلف علمی و تحقیقی کام انجام دیئے، شریف ادریسی کی شہرہ آفاق تصنیف نزہۃ المشتاق فی اختراق الآفاق کے ہندوستان سے متعلق حصے کی اشاعت ان کا بڑا کارنامہ ہے، جس کو ان کے عالمانہ مقدمہ، انڈکس اور محققانہ حواشی نے چار چاند لگادیا ہے، اﷲ تعالیٰ عالم آخرت میں بھی ان کے درجات بلند کرے، آمین!!

Islamic education curriculum has central value for education process, as education vision direction. Islamic education mission is how to create religious people by leaning perfectly. Curriculum becomes one of success applications and quality in education institution most. Curriculum will develop based on global world and people life style existency. Therefore, education should view people life style increased as learning source that is becomed a value for curriculum step making. Beside that, islamic education curriculum development also becomes teacher’s choice to implement learning manner in class. In where, it’s implementation should be arranged and systematically to make maximal learning either in development vision, indicator, lesson teory, lesson model proccess, learning evaluation or teacher’s development skill. The process of islamic education curriculum development must be done good and awesome also seeing several factors as supports and obstacles of it. In other to get an education result based on such the plan made before(education planning).
This thesis aims at understanding and improving results in the field of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. The primary objective of this work is the mathematical modeling and development of numerical solutions for boundary layer flows involving non-Newtonian Carreau fluid. For this purpose, a two-dimensional boundary layer equations are developed for varying stretching geometries like planer stretching sheet, radially stretching/shrinking sheet, stretching/shrinking cylinder and moving wedge. The governing problems concerning the flow and heat transfer analysis of Carreau fluid over non-linear stretching surfaces have been formulated with the aid of Boussinesq approximations. The modeled partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by utilizing suitable transformations. To gain a better insight about the behavior of these flows, numerical solutions are developed with comprehensive and meaningful interpretation. For the numerical simulation, we apply two numerical techniques: Runge-Kutta Fehlberg scheme and the collocated method (bvp4c). There is a great diversity of non-Newtonian fluids flow in chemical engineering and industrial process, like, suspensions, nuclear fuel slurries, emulsions and polymeric solutions, etc. Definitely in depth study of these fluids is an important and challenging task in the engineering field. Therefore, the present thesis demonstrates the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation to the boundary layer flows of a non-Newtonian Carreau fluid. In this work a qualitative study is performed with a few profound observations. The acquired results in this work for the flow and heat transfer characteristics of Carreau fluid are mainly presented in the form of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. The general trend of velocity profiles is that a higher estimation of the power-law index leads to an enhancement in the fluid velocity as well as momentum boundary layer thickness. However, a quite the opposite is true in case of temperature field. Additionally, the fluid has a thicker boundary layer thickness in case of shear thickening fluid. It is worth highlighting at this end that upon increasing the Weissenberg number the velocity and the momentum boundary layer thickness depreciate in case of shear thinning fluid. One the other hand, in contrast with shear thinning nature an inverse trend is seen for shear thickening fluid. The temperature profiles endorse in the sense that the temperature and thermal boundary layer have the opposite characteristics as that of fluid velocity. In addition, it must be observed that such effects are much prominent in shear thinning fluid as compared to shear thickening fluid.
