This project was basically run to explore the facts about exploding population of wild boar in the area of Islamabad; capital of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Due to dense human population as well as security reasons, gun shooting has been prohibited here by law. Accordingly, poison baiting may create problems for friendly wildlife species therefore non-chemical methods have been tried to control the numbers of this notorious animal in the area. In the present research, three types of the traps namely Panel Traps, Double Spike Snare Traps and Loop Traps were used at seven different study sites i.e. C.D.A-Nursery, F-9 Park, Faisal Mosque, Jasmine Garden, Near Prime Minister House, Quaid-e-Azam University and Rawal Lake to assess out wild boar capturing efficacy of each mechanical device. Research activities were started with wild boar population estimates using dog flushing and counting method at all selected study sites. Flora at each site was measured using standard methodologies and density of the animal was correlated with floral patterns found in the locality. In order to test the efficacy of above said trapping devices, fifteen sets of three traps were installed within each study sites and trapping data was collected. Different attractant materials were used to attract the target animal species toward the trapping devices considering the seasonal variation and availability of used attractant in the adjoining croplands. For example, boiled maize was not used as attractant when cultivated maize crop was available in the field. This activity was found helpful to test the usefulness of a particular attractant. Study on the biology of wild boar was another important aspect of this research. Total 529 animals captured and out of which 430 mature animals including males, females and piglets were used for autopsy. Strong positive correlated was observed between age of the female and number of piglets recovered. In the findings, older the female the greater the number of piglets and vice versa were observed. Piglet recovery ranged from 5 - 10 with the average of 7. Accordingly, data on gut content studies were completed. Stomachs of the killed animals were necropsied and analyzed up to species level with proportionate quantity of each items. Final results of this dissertation have shown that Panel Trap was the most effective device for trapping the animal using boiled maize and molasses as attractant. Further objective wise details have been given in thesis for the stakeholder to benefit the research findings.
جسٹس خواجہ محمد یوسف سخت افسوس ہے کہ جسٹس خواجہ محمد یوسف ۹؍ دسمبر ۲۰۰۴ء کو میڈی ویو نرسنگ ہوم میں وفات پاگئے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔ وہ کلکتہ کے بہت محبوب اور ہر دل عزیز شخص تھے، مہینوں سے موت و زیست کی کشمکش میں گرفتار تھے، چند ماہ قبل برلاہارٹ ریسرچ سنٹر میں ان کے دل کا آپریشن ہوا تھا، اس کے بعد ہی سے کچھ نہ کچھ تکلیف رہتی تھی، انتقال سے پندرہ روز پہلے بیماری بڑھ گئی تو نرسنگ ہوم میں داخل ہوئے، ڈاکٹروں کی نگرانی میں امبولنس اور اسٹریچر پر تھوڑی دیر کے لیے ایران سوسائٹی میں تشریف لائے جہاں ۸؍ دسمبر کو ان کے بڑے صاحبزادے خواجہ جاوید یوسف کی شادی ہورہی تھی اور نکاح ہوتے ہی نرسنگ ہوم واپس چلے گئے، ۹؍ دسمبر کی صبح کو اچانک طبیعت زیادہ خراب ہوگئی مگر دوپہر تک سنبھل گئی تو کھانا تناول فرمایا اور سوگئے، شام کو پھر طبیعت خراب ہوئی اور ڈاکٹر کے آنے سے پہلے ہی مالک حقیقی سے جاملے۔ میت گھر پر آئی تو تعزیت کے لیے آنے والوں کا تانتا بندھ گیا، دوسرے دن غسل اور کفن کے بعد دیدار کے لیے جسد خاکی گھر سے متصل اسکول کے ہال میں رکھا گیا تو خلقت ٹوٹ پڑی اور جمعہ بعد جب جنازہ ایک نمبر گوبرا قبرستان لے جانے کے لیے اٹھا تو اس کے ساتھ مسلمانوں کے تمام طبقوں کے علاوہ سکھ، عیسائی، پارسی، ہندو اور بنگالی ہر مذہب و ملت کا ازد حام تھا جو زبانِ حال سے کہہ رہا تھا۔ چل ساتھ کہ حسرتِ دلِ محروم سے نکلے عاشق کا جنازہ ہے ذرا دھوم سے نکلے خواجہ صاحب کی موت ملک و ملت خصوصاً کلکتہ اور مغربی بنگال کے مسلمانوں کے لیے بڑا دردانگیز سانحہ ہے، ان کا وجود ان کے لیے رحمت و نعمت...

Schools as social organization, hold lot of untapped positive core in the form of knowledge, best practices, success stories, skills and positive experiences of the stakeholders which can serve as a basis for inquiry, learning, inspiration, interpretation and possibility for improvement. This study explores how Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as a contemporary approach for organizational development, helped the key stakeholders of a public sector school to discover the positive core of their school and generated possibilities for improvement. AI was used both as a research perspective and a strategy for school improvement because of its positive approach for key stakeholders to interact with each other. Purposeful sampling strategy was adopted to get the representation of various key stakeholders in the study. Altogether eleven research participants were engaged in the process of data generation through semi-structured individual interviews, pair interviews, positive conversation sessions and observation of school’s artifacts and displays. Data was analyzed using content analysis, thematic coding and pattern matching techniques. Findings of the study suggest that AI process provided the space for candid dialogue by involving the voices of a diverse group of key stakeholders to think deeply about the positive aspects of the school. It was evident that the AI process enabled the participants to recognize themselves as worthwhile individuals possessing unique strengths by sharing stories of most delightful experiences and energized them to move from mere participation to real engagement. The study found that AI has the potential to engage the key stakeholders within the school to collectively imagine their preferred future. It also helped them to realize the critical role of school principal in creating a positive work environment. The AI process has the capacity to enhance meaningful relationship among school community, gain broad participation of key stakeholders and initiate collaborative actions for improved teaching leaning processes in schools.
