The estimates of the Maximum Likelihood estimation method are the estimates of the global maximum likelihood function, by definition. However, the present study showed empirically that the likelihood function of the GARCH model is multimodal. Due to the presence of multimodality in the likelihood function leads to a difference in estimates at local and global maxima, and hence, Maximum Likelihood estimation methods can have unstable performance in such situations. Therefore, it will face the problem in inference and prediction, due to the difference in estimates at local and global maxima(s). Two estimation methods are chosen from the Frequentist and the Bayesian approach, respectively, to measure the significance of the difference in estimated parameters due to the presence of multimodality in the likelihood function. Besides, to calculate the level of difference, a standard method of Monte Carlo simulation method is used. The surface plot is constructed by changing the value of the Monte Carlo simulation method to evaluate their performance along the whole surface. these surfaces are then compared within each approach. Subsequently, the preferable algorithms are compared across the Bayesian and Frequentist approaches. For comparison, the present study has calculated bias and variance around the true data generating process. Empirically it is found that in case of Frequentist approach Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is preferable estimation method for GARCH type models, as compared to Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm. Because there is multimodality in the likelihood function of the GARCH model, and BFGS uses a single starting value to search maximum point in the likelihood function, and often this single starting value traps into local maxima. Therefore, the estimated parameter at the local and global maxima vary, and hence, inferences and predictions. Conversely, DE uses multiple starting values with multiple chains, due to which it automatically avoid local maxima and converges to global maxima. In the case of the Bayesian approach, Robust Adaptive Metropolis (RAM) is a preferable estimation for GARCH type models as compared to Metropolis Hasting (MH). Because RAM is based on the strategy of adaptive mechanism, i.e., the Markov Chain of the RAM move to the next point, after taking information from the previous point, and finally converge to some particular value of the estimate. While MH use chain of independent nature, i.e., it does not take information while moving from one point to another point in the Markov Chain. After confirming the best estimator from frequentist and the Bayesian approach, this study compared these approaches with each other. Empirically, it is found that the Bayesian approach (RAM) is the preferable estimation method than the Frequentist approach (DE) because the level of bias and variance around the true parameter for RAM is lower than DE. Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) is used as a real-world application. Empirically it is found that the Bayesian approach is preferable estimation method than the frequentist approach. Reasons are followed; first, in the frequentist approach estimated parameters are the point estimates, while in the case of the Bayesian approach, the complete distribution of the estimated parameter is obtained at the low cost of simulation. Second, the distribution of the point estimate is hypothetically assumed to be normal, while in case of Bayesian approach it is not valid, i.e., the distribution of the estimates could be skewed in either direction. Therefore, the frequentist approach either over or underestimate the true value of the parameter. Finally, the standard error of the estimates which are obtained through the DE algorithm is more precise as compared to the estimates of BFGS. Therefore, the forecasting based on DE is more accurate about risk and return.

شرح خواندگی اور معاشی خوشحالی

شرح خواندگی اور معاشی خوشحالی
پڑھو گے، لکھو گے بنو گے نواب
جو کھیلو گے، کُودو گے، ہو گے خراب
خواندن مصدر ہے اور اس کے معنی ومفہوم پڑھنے کے بارے میں ہے۔ اور معاشی خوشحالی سے مراد یہ ہے کہ انسان معاشی لحاظ سے خوش حال ہو، ان کا اٹھنا بیٹھنا، کھانا پینا، سفروحضر ایک معیاری قسم کا ہو، ان کے رہن سہن، چال ڈھال میں ایک پر مسرّت اور خوشحال انسان کی جھلک نمایاں ہو۔ معاشی طور پر خوشحال انسان ہی اپنے بارے، اپنی اولادکے بارے میں، اپنے خویش و اقارب کے بارے میں، اپنے احباب کے بارے میں مثبت سوچ کا حامل ہوسکتا ہے، اور اس معاشی خوشحالی کے لیے ایک انسان کا رشتہ تعلیم سے استوار ہونا انتہائی ناگزیر ہے۔
تعلیم انسان کو ایک عظیم انسان بناتی ہے، ایک صاحب شعور فرد بناتی ہے ،تعلیم سے روشنی میسر آتی ہے، علم ایک ایسا نور اور روشنی ہے جس سے جہالت کے اندھیرے دور ہوتے ہیں، انسان کے دل و دماغ عرفان وآگہی کے نور سے منور ہوتے ہیں ،علم ہی کی بدولت انسان حق و باطل اور خیر وشر میں فرق کرنا سیکھتا ہے۔ علم ہی کی بدولت انسان کی خوابیدہ صلاحیتیں بیدار ہوتی ہیں اورعلم ہی کی وجہ سے انسان کے رہن سہن اور طرزِ زندگی میں تہذیب وشائستگی پیدا ہوتی ہے۔ اس میں تعصب اور تنگ نظری کی بجائے فراخ دلی اور رواداری ، خودغرضی کی بجائے ایثار، غرور ونخوت کی بجائے عجز و انکسار ، حرص اور لالچ کی بجائے صبر و قناعت ، حسد اور نفرت کی بجائے محبت اور اخوت جیسے اوصاف پیدا ہوتے ہیں۔
تعلیم ہی کے ذریعے مرصعّ انسان ہی معاشی خوشحالی کا ضامن ہوتا ہے، اگر کسان پڑھا لکھا ہوگا تو اس کی کھیتی بھی زیادہ ہوگی ، اس کی فصل میں اضافہ...

صحتِ انسانی اور صحت مند ماحول میں نباتات کا کردار: سائنس اوراسلامی تعلیمات کے تناظر میں ایک مطالعہ

The research paper deals with role of plants in human health and healthy environment in the context of Qur'anic verses and science. The concept of growing plants for health rather than for food or fiber is slowly changing plant biotechnology and medicine. Rediscovery of the connection between plants and health is responsible for launching a new generation of botanical therapeutics that include plant-derived pharmaceuticals, multi component botanical drugs, dietary supplements, functional foods and plant-produced recombinant proteins. Many of these products will soon complement conventional pharmaceuticals in the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of diseases, while at the same time adding value to agriculture. Holy Quran describes the importance of rain as pure water to irrigate dead soil and emergence of life (plant’s growth) from the dead soil. Plants provide foods for human beings and are necessary for healthy environment. Man is an omnivore who gets his food from both plant and animal sources. However, for immediate energy, humans rely more on plant starches and soluble sugars, including glucose and edible sugar. Generally, our normal diet consists of rice or wheat bread which is a very important source of starch.  Sugar and fats are the two most important components of food managed by plants. Apart from this, the man manages vegetables and salads from plants which are the guarantors of his health/survival in modern times. There are many reasons for diversity in plants. The obvious reason is the chemistry of that particular piece of land, what kind of minerals/salts and other nutrients that land has and what types of plants can grow there in their presence. In this research written with a descriptive and analytical approach, it is proved that according to Quran and science plants have a great role in human health and healthy environment.

How to Sustain the Impact of a Cluster Based Mentoring Program on Teachers Practices

Teachers' professional development is considered a key to school improvement. Unfortunately the quality of primary schooling in Pakistan, especially in rural areas, has not been good due to the traditional practices of teachers. There have been many failed efforts to bring about sustainable improvement in teaching and learning in primary schools. Hence, sustainability of change has emerged as an issue. The present government encouraged school improvement through capacity-building in selected districts of Sindh and Balochistan under the ESRA project initiatives. One-year cluster-based mentoring programs were offered in these selected districts. Coming from one of the districts, my intention was to research the sustainability of impact of one of these one-year cluster-based mentoring program. Focusing on the one-year cluster-based mentoring program, perspectives of the different stakeholders were studied. The findings show that the cluster-based mentoring program had a positive impact on the practices of teachers. They improved their usage of innovative teaching strategies, created a learning environment in class, and developed confidence and learning attitude. However, after the completion of the program, they eventually left these practice due to many long-existing challenges and hindrances in the context. These hindrances include lack of follow-up, resistance by teachers, management, parents, teachers' low economical status, political interference, and so on. Participants gave many suggestions to address these issues in order to sustain the program, such as continuous professional development mechanism, improvement in management practices, provision of resources, and eradicating political influence in education. Finally, the conclusion has been presented and implications for different stakeholder in teacher education in Pakistan are discussed and suggestions are given for further research.
