Despite significant investments in information technology in developing nations like Pakistan over recent decades, concern still exists over the extent to which such expenditures have produced the intended benefits. At least part of this concern is based around the issue of how information technology and information systems are accepted by the intended users. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) provides us with the fundamental frame work to analyse the acceptance of Information Systems from a behavioural perspective. In this study, we intend to enhance and classify the variables of the existing TAM to account for their importance so that organizations and institutions can rely on this classification to focus on the most important variables for quicker and smooth adoption of technology. Especially in the context of developing countries’ dynamics, the technology acceptance variables will be explored. A classification of the technology acceptance variables has been developed. This is the first of its kind classification based on the random Fuzzy (Burney, Ali, & Mahmood, 2012) Forest model, which in comparison with other fuzzy techniques has given better results for classification. To analyse the results, different statistical methods have been used. The study also involves extensive field study as well as data collection and data-mining techniques to analyse and identify multi-dimensional patterns in data. Measures of social influence on/of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) will also be identified and a suitable Technology Implementation Model will also be developed. For this purpose, the case of smart watch dissemination in Pakistan will be used and appropriate model to enhance user acceptance of smart watch technology will be proposed. This thesis focuses on the acceptance and adoption of smartwatches, specifically in Pakistan. While there are several research studies on the subject of wearable technology, many do not emphasize a specific piece of wearable technology like the smartwatch. Either that or they are focused on the utilization of these wearable products where fitness tracking, healthcare, biometric sensors and other such applications are discussed. It is important that an innovation be understood from the user’s perspective, especially in its Page 3 of 155 early stages when knowledge of consumer requirements is insufficient. Smartwatch studies should be audience driven instead of technology driven which is the situation in most cases. Because the innovation is made for the user therefore should revolve around not what the technology is capable of but if it fulfils the needs and requirements of the users. Hence, this quantitative research aims to fill that gap and identify the factors that influence people’s intention to use a smartwatch along with the discussion of wearable and smart technology, its history, its advantages and disadvantages, different technology acceptance and adoption frameworks as well as their comparison. In addition to that, a model is proposed along with the respective hypotheses to examine the adoption and acceptance of smartwatches and for validation analyses conducted on the data gathered. A classification of the technology acceptance variables has been developed. This is the first of its kind classification based on the random Fuzzy Forest model, which in comparison with other fuzzy techniques has given better results for classification.

اسرارِ خمار

اسرار خمار
ہوا کے ہاتھوں میں چھالے پڑے ہوئے تھے
خوشبو کے ہالے میں طاق تھا
پروانوں کے طواف سے!
چاندنی میں سرخ سبز آیتوں کے انکشاف سے!
جمال فسوں کے دلفریب در کھل رہے تھے
دل کی شرطوں میں دف بج رہی تھی
زمان عصر کے زاویوں میں!
اک ناقہ خمار میں ڈوبی چل رہی تھی
شبنمی چاندنی میں اسرار خواب ڈھل رہے تھے
خوشبو کی بدلتی تاثیر میں!
صوفیوں نے بھی باب وفا کے قریب بزم سجا رکھی تھی
آباد حویلیوں سے!
لذت معنی کے علمدار۔۔۔سبز موسم کے راز داں آ رہے تھے
شفیق مسافتوں کے۔۔۔زلفہ اور صودابہ کی۔۔۔!
دھڑکنوں کے راز کھل رہے تھے
قدیم خیالوں کا پتہ دیتے ہوئے!
کئی آہو سبز ساحلوں کی طرف نکل رہے تھے
ستاروں کی چال اور زائچے بدل رہے تھے۔۔۔۔

عصر حاضر كی اجتہادی كاوشوں میں مقاصد شریعت كی رعایت

Ijtiha'd is to make utmost endeavor in the light of the basic sources of Islam, the Qur'an and Sunnah to develop the most viable rulings on the new challenges of the time. Muslim scholars have always risen to new challenges. In the contemporary period many Muslim scholars attempted to resolve new problems keeping in view the very objectives of Islamic Law (mtufd al-shari’ah) , which is totally different from literal understanding and application of the rulings of the Qur'an and Sunnah. This article seeks to highlight the contribution of some Muslim scholars in the contemporary period to the application of matpsid al-shari'ah as a principle of ijtihud

Two questionnaires each for assessing organizational climate and job satisfaction of teachers were modified by the researcher with the help of supervisor. Then these were validated through pilot-testing. The researcher collected the data herself. Collected data was analyzed by using SPPS version 16. Major conclusions of the study were: There was significant positive relationship between organizational climate and job satisfaction among primary school teachers. On the basis of conclusions following recommendations are made: Production emphasis has an important role in the success of any organization so it is recommended that head teachers should focus on production emphasis in their schools as their first and foremost priority.
