The present research was carried out to explore the adult attachment and its association on the marital satisfaction among couples in Pakistan. The main objective of the current study was to find out the relationship of adult attachment for marital satisfaction among couples and also to find out the relationship of husbands` attachment dimensions on the wives’ marital satisfaction and impact of wives’ attachment dimensions on the husband marital satisfaction. Present research further explored three factors i.e. conflict resolution, social support, and communication competence and their role as mediating variables between attachment and marital satisfaction. The research comprised three studies. Study I deals with translation and determination of psychometric properties of Experiences in Close Relationships- Revised questionnaire (Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000); Enrich Couple Scales (Olson, 1996); and Social Provision Scale (Cutrona & Russell, 1987). Part I of study- I deals with ttranslation, adaptation, and cross language validation of the instrument. Part II deals with pretesting Instruments on a small sample and also determines the construct validity like Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Initially the researcher translated the scale into Urdu language and then carries out pre-testing on a small sample of 48 married individuals. The results of pretesting indicated that all the three instruments were showing satisfactory reliabilities indices. Afterwards the translated instruments were ready for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) on a sample of 300 married individuals. As results of CFA reduced final instruments were administered to a sample of 96 married couples (192 individuals) to verify the psychometric properties and testing the preliminary hypothesis in pilot study. Correlation coefficients were computed as indices to verify the magnitude and direction among various variables. Finally main study was conducted with N=350 (175 couples) on diverse groups on the basis of age, education, income, family system, length of relationship and number of children. There are three mediating variables, such as, conflict resolution, social support, and communication competence which are hypothesized to mediate the relationship between adult attachment and marital satisfaction. Consistent with hypothesis the research shows that three separate models were drawn to check the path analysis in AMOS software and these models are based upon Actor Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) and it is found that conflict resolution is contributing as a mediating variable between attachment and marital satisfaction. For example anxious female is affecting her own conflict resolution as compared to avoidant female who aeffects the partners` marital satisfaction. Communication competence of both partners is fully mediating the relationship between avoidance and marital satisfaction. Similarly, social support is fully mediating the relationship between both partners` avoidance and their marital satisfaction. Finally, it was concluded that couples with anxious and avoidant attachment reported less marital satisfaction and there is a significant role of conflict resolution, communication competence and social support in strengthening the marital satisfaction. In the end, the findings are discussed in light of Pakistani cultural context and its implications in the Pakistani society.

نکی جہی ہک گل ہے یارو

نکی جہی ہک گل ہے یارو
عشق رونا ہر پل ہے یارو

حسن دی نگری دے وچہ عاشق
بیٹھا مار پتھل ہے یارو

چوٹ عشق دی جد آلگی
رون دا آیا ول ہے یارو

ہِکو یار سجن دا ملنا
اس مسئلے دا حل ہے یارو

یاد اوہدی پل پل انگاری
بھانبڑ جاندا بل ہے یارو

کالی زلف تے اکھ مستانی
بدن سارا مخمل ہے یارو

میں تے اس نوں چھڈنا ناہیں
میرا قول اٹل ہے یارو

دکھاں درداں ہاڑیاں والا
ہکو حل وصل ہے یارو

کوئی منصور سولی تے چڑھیا
شمس لہاندا کھل ہے یارو

سوہنی وچ چنابے ڈبی
سسی مارو تھل ہے یارو

جو کچھ کرنا ای اجّو کر لے
ڈٹھی کس نے کل ہے یارو

اللسانيات والصوتيات الجنائية

الملخص: هدف هذا البحث للتعرف على أهمية اللسانيات والصوتيات الجنائية، واشتمل البحث على مبحثين، تناول الأول التعريف باللسانيات الجنائية ومجالاتها، واستعرض الثاني أهمية الصوتيات الجنائية وأهميتها في الإثبات الجنائي. استخدمت الباحثة المنهج الوصفي وتوصل البحث إلى النتائج، أهمها، أن اللغة متعلقة بالعلوم الإنسانية، والعلوم القانونية ومنها (الجنائية) أقرب العلوم الإنسانية والاجتماعية باللسانيات. وأن علم اللسانيات الجنائي، يقصد به الاحتكام إلى اللغة والاستعانة بها باعتبارها وسيلة من وسائل إثبات تهمة ما أو نفيها. ويشمل علم اللسانيات الجنائية مجالات متعددة، تساعد في الكشف عن بعض الجرائم، وتساعد في نفي أو إثبات الأدلة. واللسانيات الجنائية مثلها مثل التخصصات الاجتماعية الأخرى، لها مصطلحاتها ولها طبيعتها وفي نفس الوقت أدى إلزامها لبقية أفراد المجتمع فلابد أن تكون مفهومة لهم، فمصطلحاتها خارج الحلقة الطبيعية لدائرة المفاهيم المتعارف عليها في علوم اللغة الأم بين أفراد نفس المجتمع اللغوي. وعلى عالم اللغة الجنائي أن يلم في ظواهر الدراسات اللغوية، وملامح استخدامات اللغة وتراكيبها. ويتركز اهتمام الصوتيات الجنائية على الجوانب الصوتية للكلام التي يمكن أن تستخدم كدليل جنائي.

Extending the Authentication Mechanism in Ip Multimedia Subsystems for Universal Mobile Telecommunication System

IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is an emerging platform for provisioning multimedia services (e.g., data, voice, and video) in 4G/5G networks. IMS authentication is an important procedure which grants legitimate users to access multimedia services. However, periodic re-authentication of mobile users results in significant signaling traffic overhead due to complete execution of hectic procedure. Moreover, signaling protocol such as SIP overlooks user’s confidentiality by leaving unprotected public and private identities. In IMS each user entering from another network like UMTS or VOLTE has to authenticate itself. However, it already passed through the same authentication process in its own network. Therefore, IMS core entities are affected by high signaling that could be a source of congestion. . The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is used in IMS to establish and manage sessions. It is easy for a hacker to attack IMS with flooding SIP messages. However, IMS does not provide any functions to prevent such kind of attacks. This research presents a secure aauthentication protocol (SAP) which creates a secure channel through the deployment of KMC (Key Management Center) for transmitting user identities; ECC (Elliptic curve cryptography) is used for key generation that provides reduced encryption and decryption time than existing schemes for IMS. FAP strives to minimize signaling overhead of periodic re-authentications. Once a user completes authentication, FAP grants a valid ticket for a particular time which can be used for subsequent re-authentications until it expires. This research introduce a header in SIP to hold the ticket. This research employ protocol composition logic for formal modeling and verification of SAP. The performance of SAP, FAP is validated through FOKUS IMS test bed. The results demonstrate the performance appraisal of FAP compared to other contemporary schemes in terms of signaling overhead, bandwidth consumption and response time. This research presents a Low congestion and Certificate based One-pass Authentication Protocol (COAP) that avoids duplication of authentication steps and makes its authentication efficient through the use of digital certificates. An authenticated user is allotted a certificate to restrict the repetition of complete authentication procedure until the certificate expires. COAP results in reduction of signaling traffic, which eliminates v the congestion problem, it also reduces bandwidth and delivery cost which make this scheme more efficient in terms of bandwidth consumption. An intrusion detection system is designed where a pair of subsystems is working, one is spoofing detection and prevention subsystem and other is flooding detection and prevention subsystem. A zero-watermarking scheme detects the spoofing attack.Watermark embedding is done by the original author and extraction done later by KMC to prove ownership. The flooding detection system is working on misuse rules and anomaly detection algorithms which provide successful detection and prevention for IMS and VOLTE environment. The results has shown that better than other schemes it is compared to i.e. when the no of requests are 30 the detection rate is 90.19 however, when no of request are 40 the accuracy rate of the proposed scheme is 100 percent.
