In military system, threat optimization is reflected by the vigilant ability to assign weapon through the use of critical decision making process. A significant problem that commanders face is to utilize the resources optimally in the complex and time constrained situations. With new technological advancements, complexity in ‘Decision Support System’ for TEWA (Threat Evaluation and Weapon Assignment) in Air Defence has arisen. A holistic view is required to overcome the limitation of resource deployment and TEWA which exist in literature pertaining to Air Defense related studies focusing weapons deployment, effective utilization of resources and TEWA. No specific study could be found for effective resource deployment in Air Defense. In addition, several challenges are involved in TEWA-DSS. The most significant is the application of new technologies for better in quick session of time. Enormous benefits and wide range solutions have been derived in this perspective which is repeatedly mentioned in recent literature. However, each solution inherently carries some specific as well as generalized limitations. The work presented in this dissertation has put forward a pioneer approach in which TEWA parameters are derived for threat evaluation, effective resource deployment and weapon assignment keeping in view information available at hand from relevant sources in the domain of Air Defense mechanism. Based on 3-round Delphi technique, parameters for radar/weapon deployment and TEWA were identified. Afterwards, these parameters have been used in proposing innovative models for (1) resource deployment and (2) TEWA using 3-dimensional Stable Marriage Algorithm (3-D SMA) incorporating missing parameters of resource inventory and supply information. Consequently, an approach has emerged that is capable of handling multiple threats simultaneously by assigning weapons in such a way that the protocol establishes a connection between threat parameters and weapon deployment and assignment for critical decision making process. Hence it outperforms all other techniques/approaches currently available. Another hallmark of proposed approach is prioritizing threats based on its index and respond accordingly by taking into account weapon scheduling. The weapons are assigned on the basis of its kill probability. Findings of this study showed 25% improvement in threat neutralization, 31 % reduction is ammunition use, whereas 28.5% less damages to assets when compared with other approaches. The study also included the use of Analytical Hierarchy Approach (AHP), a state of the art technique for rational decision making which exclude personal bias and refers to logical judgment. The results reported here has strong emphasis on multi-threat resolution and proposed Afshan Naseem | RTDSS x solutions to elucidate TEWA using AHP proved that desired results can be achieved in real time scenario. A three-pronged process was adopted in this context i.e. threat perception as priority step followed by mechanisms of threat evaluation and finally scheduling of weapons leading to ultimate weapon assignment. It is worth mentioning that most significant aspect of this study is inclusion of a large number of parameters to develop a model and overcome all relevant constraints to attain accuracy in neutralizing threats and simultaneously achieving other objectives of Air Defense perfection such as minimum damage to vital assets as well as reduced amount of ammunition use. In conclusion, it seems reasonable to believe that TEWA approach presented in research work offers a better efficiency and encouraging decision making environment to Air Defense commanders in crucial time.

پاکستانی جامعات میں سامی مذاہب پر علومِ اسلامیہ کے(ایم فل ،پی ایچ ڈی) اردو سندی مقالات کا اشاریہ و شماریاتی جائزہ

Urdu Dissertations of Islamic Studies on Semitic Religions (MPhil, PhD) in Pakistani Universities: An Index and Bibliometric Review Study of religions or Comparative Religions is a globally significance subject. Pakistan is also resourceful in this field. In many universities, there are special departments on this valuable subject. It is taught as compulsory course at BS & MA level in the departments of Isalmic studies in all universities. In many universities it’s also taught at MPhil and PhD level, some of them have produced hundreds of MS and PhDs dissertations on this subject. Due to its importance, it was a dire need to review and compile the titles of theses and dissertations, which are produced from the universities on the subject. In this study, efforts are made to review and compile a comprehensive index of such theses at MPhil and PhD level from Pakistani universities with statistical analysis. Due to its huge amount, the data is divided into two major types, Semitic and non-Semitic religions. The current study covers only Semitic/ Revealed and related topics. The word Semitic refers to the race of the son of Prophet Noah (A.S) or the areas where this race was spread and grew. Semitic Religions consists of; Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In this study, Biblometric approach is adopted with mix method approach. Total 393 theses of Islamic Studies on Semitic Religions are compiled and statistically evaluated in this paper. The study concludes that a good deal of literature and dissertations are available in Pakistani universities on Comparative Religions and Interfaith Studies. It is recommended that contents of theses should be analyzed for improvement of the Study of Religions in Pakistan

Representation of The Muslim In Qurratulain Hyder , E.M. Forster And Ahmad Ali : A Discourse Analysis

Representation of The Muslim In Qurratulain Hyder , E.M. Forster And Ahmad Ali : A Discourse Analysis The research investigates the nature and form of the colonial encounter in colonial and postcolonial fiction in the Subcontinent. The colonial fiction develops the stereotypes of the colonized whereas these stereotypes are challenged by the postcolonial counter-discourse. The representation of the colonized Muslim in India in the colonial discourse is a stereotype which is a jumble of fact and fiction. The identity of the colonized Muslim is established in the counter-discourse by the Muslim fiction writers in the Subcontinent. Their representation of the colonized Muslim counters the representation of the colonial discourse. The focus of the research is to draw a comparison between the two representations to investigate the nature of colonial encounter between the West and the Indian Muslims. Situated in the postcolonial theoretical perspective, the researcher has analyzed the novels of E. M. Forster, Ahmad Ali and Qurratulain Hyder to understand the identity of the colonized Muslims in the Subcontinent. Chapter one sets out the nature and the scope of the work, explaining the purpose of examining the representation of the colonized Muslims in the postcolonial novel, and outlining the theoretical context and the orientation of the study. The theoretical framework of the research and the methodology are also explained. The method of the investigation in this research has been a combination of the narrative analysis and the critical discourse analysis. Chapter two explores the postcolonial perspective of the research explaining the issues in the postcolonial theory regarding the identity of the colonized people. In this regard the various models of the postcolonial literature are discussed. Chapter three describes and interprets the text of A Passage to India to explore the stereotypes of the colonized Muslims in the colonial discourse. Chapter four and five describe and interpret the texts of Twilight in Delhi and River of Fire respectively, to explore the modes of writing back the colonial discourse in the postcolonial counter-discourse. Chapter six compares the representation of the colonized Muslims in the three novels and draws conclusions. The identity of the colonized Muslims appears to be discursively constructed, multilayered and polyphonic, and dialogically constructed in the power struggle in the colonial world.
