Face recognition, as an active research area over the past three decades, still poses many challenges. Recognition of age-separated face images (age invariant face recognition) based on facial asymmetry is one of such challenges. Successful solutions to this recognition paradigm would allow the facial photographs to be matched against face images with temporal variations. Facial asymmetry, which refers to non-correspondence in shape, size, and arrangement of facial landmarks on both sides of the face, is an intrinsic recognition-specific facial feature used for face recognition task. The contributions of this dissertation are focused on recognition of age-separated face images using facial asymmetry. We introduce to use a feature description scheme suitable to represent facial asymmetry. The introduced feature description is adaptable to recognize age-separated face images and extract demographic information such as age group, gender, and race from a given face image. Based on the introduced feature description, this dissertation offers the following three main contributions to recognize age-separated face images. The first contribution is a matching-scores space based approach to recognize age separated face images. In the proposed framework, matching scores of holistic, local, and asymmetric facial features are combined in a matching-score space (MSS) with Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a classifier to separate genuine and imposter classes. Experimental results on three publically available benchmark facial aging databases show the efficacy of proposed approach compared to some existing state-of-the-art approaches. The second contribution is focused on the role of facial asymmetry based age group estimation in recognizing age-separated face images. We provide a hierarchical approach to perform age group estimation task. The role of various asymmetric facial regions in recognizing age-separated face images of different age groups is investigated. We integrate the knowledge learned from age group estimation into face recognition algorithm to enhance the recognition performance of age-separated face images. The viability of this approach is demonstrated on two benchmark facial aging databases. The experimental results suggest that integration of age group estimates into face recognition algorithm enhances the recognition performance of age separated face images, considerably. The third contribution is examination of the role of facial asymmetry in demographic estimation (i.e. age group, gender, and race) of a query face image in a face recognition system. The role of different asymmetric facial regions in recognizing face images with different demographic attributes is presented. We integrate the demographic estimates into a face recognition algorithm to enhance the recognition accuracy of age-separated face images. Experiments are conducted on benchmark facial aging databases to validate the performance of proposed approach. The experimental results suggest that proposed approach is more adaptable to recognize age-separated face images compared to some existing state-of-the-art methods.

آزادی ایک انمول نعمت ہے

آزادی ایک انمول نعمت ہے
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
پڑی وطن کو ضرورت اگر تو ہم دیں گے
لہو کا تیل چراغوں میں روشنی کے لیے
صدر ِفطین، اساتذہ متین اور سامعین باتمکین السلام علیکم! میں آج جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کی جسارت کرنے جارہا ہوں، اس کا عنوان ہے:’’آزادی ایک انمول نعمت ہے‘‘
ہم نے سوکھی ہوئی شاخوں پہ لہو چھڑکا تھا
پھول اگر اب بھی نہ کھلتے تو قیامت کرتے
صدرِذی وقار!
آزادی خدا کی بہت بڑی نعمت ہے اور اس نعمت کا شکر ادا کرنا سب سے بڑی سعادت ہے۔ شکر در اصل نعمت کی فراوانی کا سبب ہوا کرتا ہے اور کفران نعمت، نعمت کے زوال کا باعث بنتا ہے۔
سامعین محترم!
آیئے ! آج ہم اپنے گریبان میں منہ ڈال کر جھانکیں کہ ہم نے آزادی کی نعمت کا کس حد تک شکر ادا کیا ہے اور خدا اور مخلوقِ خدا سے جو وعدے کیے تھے، انہیں کہاں تک پورا کیا ہے؟
صدرِذی وقار!
ہم نے نعرہ لگایا تھا کہ’’ ہم پاکستان میں قرآن کا قانون جاری کریں گے۔نبی کریمؐ کی سنت کی روشنی میں زندگی کا سفر طے کریں گے، نیکی کا علم بلند کریں گے اور بدی کو سرنگوں کرکے چھوڑیں گے، گناہوں کی اندھیری رات میں نیکی کے دیئے جلائیں گے اور شب تیرہ کی تیرگی کا جنازہ نکال کر دم لیں گے۔ جبر واستبدادکی کالی گھٹائیں چھٹ جائیںگی ، عدل و انصاف کا قاضی محمود و ایاز کو ایک صف میں کھڑا کر دے گا، غربت کے مہیب سائے رخصت ہو جائیں گے، تنگدستی اورمحتاجی کے عفریت کو منہ کی کھانی پڑے گی ، خوشحالی کا آفتاب طلوع ہوگا اور افلاس زدہ انسان امن و عافیت کے گہوارے میں خوشی کے نغمے گاتے...

PENINGKATAN KUALITAS PEMBELAJARAN MENYIMAK CERPEN DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN MEDIA REKAMAN PEMBACAAN CERPEN PADA SISWA KELAS XI IPA2 SMA NEGERI 1 BONTOTIRO KABUPATEN BULUKUMBA

Improving the Quality of Learning to Listen to Short Stories by Using Recorded Media for Reading Short Stories for Class XI IPA2 Students of SMA Negeri 1 Bontotiro, Bulukumba Regency.” This study aims to describe the improvement in the quality of learning to listen to short stories using short story reading recording media for students of class XI IPA2 SMA Negeri 1 Bontotiro, Bulukumba Regency.             The results of the study prove that improving the quality of learning to listen to short stories using short story reading recording media in class XI IPA2 SMA Negeri 1 Bontotiro Bulukumba Regency at the planning stage found an increase in the ability of teachers in the field of study to plan better learning implementation in cycle II. In the implementation stage, there was an increase in student activity during the learning process, such as the sincerity, discipline, and self-confidence of students following the learning process. The evaluation stage found an increase in the results of the short story listening test, showing that in the first cycle 56.09% of students experienced mastery learning, and in the second cycle it reached 97.56% who experienced learning mastery. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that the recording media for reading short stories could improve the quality of learning to listen to short stories in class XI IPA2 SMA Negeri 1 Bontotiro, Bulukumba Regency

The Impact of High Performance Work Systems on Business Performance: Examining the Role of Employee Wellbeing

This thesis has two main objectives. The first objective of this thesis is to examine employees’ experience of HPWS in their respective business units. The second objective is to develop a conceptual model that determines how these perceptions are related to their wellbeing and performance. In doing so, both the mutual gains and conflicting outcomes perspectives have been examined. In addition, POS and JDR theories are proposed as alternative theoretical perspectives in examining the pathways through which HPWS can impact on employee wellbeing and business unit level performance. Specifically, building on the notion of JDR model, job control and supervisor support have been hypothesized as important resources to minimize the negative impact of excessive job demands on wellbeing. For the purpose of analysis, data had been collected from 828 employees from 140 business units in insurance industry of Pakistan. The structural equation modeling technique is used to validate the measurement model and for examining the inter-relationships among HPWS, employee wellbeing and business unit level performance. At business unit level, the findings lend support for mutual gains perspective. The pathway linking HPWS to business unit level performance via mutual gains perspective received strong support. The empirical findings show that: (1) AMO bundles of HPWS had strong positive influence on POS; (2) Only motivation bundle was significantly and negatively related to excessive job demands while ability and opportunity bundles had no impact on excessive job demands; (3) HPWS, through POS, showed positive impact on employee wellbeing; (4) job satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between HPWS and business unit level performance. Overall, the thesis indicates that while mutual gains perspective is useful in explaining the link between HPWS-wellbeing-performance, extending theory to include new explanatory variables such as POS increases our understanding of the underlying phenomena.
