Experiment of essential oils and other chemicals on infested colonies of honey bee apiary the present study was conducted and three experiments laid out under completely Randomized design (CRD) 2 ways factorial during 2014 and 2015 at The University of Agriculture, Peshawar Pakistan. In these experiments there were taxonomic studies of varroa mites on Apis mellifera in different region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa byusing De Guzman and Fernandez and C0ineau, 2007 key for identificati0n of the mite samples i.e. length and width (b0dy size), locati0n of seta, shape, size (i.e. bristle hair, stiff) on d0rsal shield, chaet0taxy and structure 0f the sterna, ana1, metap0dal, and epigyna1 shie1ds, periterme, morpho1ogy of setae 0n the 1egs and pa1ps it arrangement and number were 0bserved. M0re than 1000 specimen of mites were c0llected from different regi0n of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (i.e. Peshawar, Mardan, K0hat and Chitra1). The present study resu1ted that the specimens were Varr0a destruct0r, however, no specimen of Varr0a jacobs0ni were rec0rded during Chaet0taxy and morphologica1 studied. During 2014 by using different essentia1 0ils and 0ther chemica1s i.e. euca1yptus 0il, basi10il, geranium 0il, spearmint 0il, r0semary 0il, f0rmic acid 65%, fluva1inate strips, icing sugar dusting and contro1 were used t0 find 0ut the efficacy of these 0ils and chemica1s. The experiment was divided in different parameters i.e. adu1t w0rker and brood of h0ney bees in m0nth of March- April and in September. Efficacy of r0semary 0il pr0ved best and significant results where the percent reducti0n of varr0a mites in m0nth of March –April during year 2014 the percent reducti0n on adu1t w0rker and brood 0f h0ney bees were 96.45% and 96.25% similar trend were 0bserved in f0rmic acid 65% where the mite reducti0n on adult w0rker and broods were 95.10%and 93.58%, fluva1inate strip 87.46% and 90.08%, icing sugar dusting 86.62% and 88.85%, spearmint 0il 84.62% and 87.86%, eucalyptus oil 83.63% and 72.57%, geranium 0il 81.05% and 76.10%, and basi1 0il 78.53% and 74.59% respectively. In m0nth of September during 2014 the reducti0n of varroa mites ofinfested co1onies of h0ney bee once again rosemary oil gave best results on adult workers and brood with the mean on third treatment was 96.32% and 93.33% followed by f0rmic acid 65% with mean 0f 96.26% and 82.99%, icing sugar dusting 91.06% and 81.73%, fluvalinate strip 86.96% and 78.28%, spearmint 0il 86.42% and 72.17%, basil oil 81.84% and 73.06%, geranium 0il 79.62% and 67.65% and euca1yptus 0il 76.49% and 71.62% respectively. Application of different essentia1 0ils and chemicals on infested colonies of honey bee i.e. adult worker and broodduring year 2015, in month of March and Aprilagain rosemary oil gave better results on both adult worker and brood of honey bees with mean reduction of 95.93% and 94.67%, similar trend was observed in formic acid 65% with the mean of 95.12% and 93.04%, fluvalinate strips 93.91% and 92.13%, icing sugar dusting 91.09% and 89.09%, spearmint oil 88.84% and 84.83%, basil oil 86.80% and 84.24%, geranium oil 85.06% and 81.52% and eucalyptus oil 82.47% and 81.89% vi respectively. In month of September during year 2015 rosemary oil on adult worker and brood the maximum percent reduction were observed with the mean on third treatment was 91.37% and 89.97%, whereas similar results were followed by formic acid 65% where mean were 89.93% and 93.96%, icing sugar dusting 82.77% and 86.60%, spearmint oil 82.73% and 92.52%, fluvalinate strip 79.57% and 85.75%, basil oil 72.68% and 82.74%, geranium oil 72.21% and 82.07% and eucalyptus oil 70.01% and 82.31% respectively. In both year 2014 and 2015during month of March- April and September interaction of oil, year and treatment, rosemary oil proved best amongst all essential oils and chemical and significantly different from control followed by formic acid 65%, fluvalinate strips, icing sugar dusting, spearmint oil, basil oil, geranium oil and eucalyptus oil. When year 2014 and 2015 were compared during both season March –April and September year 2015 proved best and gave maximum percent reduction of varroa mites on infested colonies of honey bees. By using GC-Mass to find out the residues in honey during year 2014 and 2015 eucalyptol in eucalyptus oil was (0.006 µg/g and 0.00 µg/g ), bernol in basil was (0.025 µg/g and 0.00 µg/g), geranol in geranium 0il (0.13 µg/g and 0.13 µg/g), menth0l in spearmint oil (0.23 µg/g and 0.028 µg/g), linalool in rosemary oilwas (1.04 µg/g and 0.01 µg/g), in formicacid 65% the level was 81 and fluvalinate strip the level was below 50ppb which is accepted by the Environmental protection agency EPA, European Agency for Evaluation of Medical product (EMEA), Swiss food legislation, as well as European Union council Regulation (EEC). In conclusion, taxonomic studied showed that specimens from Pakistan indicated Varroa destructor not V. jacobsoni. Similarly Rosemary essential 0il was found the effective against Varroa destructor in honey bee (Apis mellifera) and significantly different as compare with formic acid (65%), fluva1inate strips, and icing sugar dusting, spearmint oil against Varroa mite populations in honey bee colonies in a context of essential oils. Further by there is no residues were found in h0ney. All the above outcomes provided essential information needed for decision making regarding the use of essentia1 0ils and other chemicals for the integrated management of Varroa destructor.

افسوس ہے مولانا حافظ محمد اسلم جیراج پوری بھی جو علم وادب کی صبح بہار کا ایک آخری جلوۂ گریز پاتھے۔ہم سے بچھڑ گئے اوراس خاکدانِ آب و گل کو خیرآباد کہہ کر رہ گزائے عالم آخرت ہوگئے۔مرحوم ہماری بزم علم وثقافت کے دور پیشین کی یادگار تھے۔ایک زمانہ میں اُن کے مضامین ومقالات کابڑاچرچا تھا۔ باقاعدہ اور وسیع المطالعہ عالم تھے۔ان کی تالیفات میں’تاریخ الامت‘ جو چھوٹی چھوٹی کئی جلدوں میں ہے اس کوبڑی شہرت ومقبولیت حاصل ہوئی۔اس کے علاوہ چند ادبی اور تنقیدی مضامین اورسوانحی تالیفات بھی ان کی یادگار ہیں۔جامعہ ملیہ اسلامیہ کے اولین معماروں اوربانیوں میں سے تھے اورآخر اسی کی خدمت کرتے کرتے جان جان آفرین کوسپردکری۔قرآن مجید کے ساتھ بڑاعشق اورشغف تھا، اس کے وہ حافظ بھی تھے اوربڑی پابندی سے روزاس کی تلاوت کرتے تھے۔ نہایت سادہ زندگی بسر کرتے تھے۔راقم الحروف کوجب کبھی ان کے ہاں چائے پینے کا اتفاق ہواہے کبھی بھی ایسا نہیں ہواکہ چائے کی پیالیاں صحیح وسالم پائی ہوں۔ بڑے قناعت پسند،گوشہ نشین،شہرت سے نفوراور حددرجہ متواضع اورمنکسر المزاج بزرگ تھے، جس سے جو وضع تھی بہرحال نباہتے تھے۔ حدیث کے بارے میں ان کا جو مسلک تھا اس کے باوجود ہم ارباب ندوۃالمصنفین کے ساتھ ان کے تعلقات بڑے شگفتہ تھے اور وہ کبھی نجی ملاقاتوں میں اس طرح کی بحث نہیں اُٹھاتے تھے۔یہ وضع داری اورشرافت،یہ مروت اورخوش خلقی اب عنقا ہوتی جارہی ہے۔اب آئندہ ایسے لوگ کہاں ملیں گے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کو غریق رحمت فرمائے اور ان کو مغفرت وبخشش کی نعمتوں سے سرفراز فرمائے۔آمین

Exploring a Female and a Male Secondary School Head Teachers Experiences of Leading School Improvement

Literature (Foster, 2004), agrees that there is a relative absence of research that documents the experience of male and female headteachers leadership in relation to school improvement. This qualitative life history study explores a male and female head teachers' experiences of leading school improvement in two secondary schools of Azeem Education System, Northern Areas of Pakistan. Semi-structured interviews, observations and document analysis were the main source of data generation. The study revealed that the context of leadership and school improvement are relative and are influenced by the contexts of a school and the communities in which the school is situated. The needs, demands and future trends as viewed in these contexts shape and guide headteachers' leadership practices and their school improvement efforts. So, an explanation of headteachers' experiences of leading school improvement also needs to be taken into account not only their personal skills but also to see, how well they were able to respond to the school context. Studies showed that gender may play an important role in teachers' ascend to headship. Male teachers have better chances to avail headship position due to their better academic qualification. While female may need to struggle longer to achieve better academic and professional credential in order to prove their ability of assuming headship position. In order to enhance headteachers' efforts in leading school improvement, some recommendations to the organization were made, that the organization needs to acknowledge headteachers' diverse leadership practices for school improvement. This also requires recognition of headteachers' unique life histories (personal and professional), which shape and guide their unique perceptions and practices of leading schools for improvement. In this connection, the study recommends that professional development programmes for headteachers may include life histories of the headteachers, in order to understand their perceptions and practices of leadership, particularly in the context of their efforts to school improvement.
