The biological signals represent patterns of change in the rhythms of biological system that provides a complementary way to study the dynamics of these systems. These signals carry information that is vitally important for understanding of underlying dynamics of living systems. The availability of large and complex data sets and available computational tools allows a complimentary way to develop our understanding about the functioning of the physiological systems, their structures and dynamics. Various innovative approaches such as time-frequency and complexity analysis measures and their computational tools have been developed in recent years to get insight into a wide range of physiological and pathological conditions. These approaches and computation tools are applicable in wide range of disciplines to study the dynamics of biological systems. However, this research work is focused on studying the dynamical fluctuations of EEG signals for detecting epileptic seizure, differentiating alcoholic and non-alcoholic subjects as well as for quantifying the dynamics of healthy subjects with eye open and eye-closed during resting state. The research reported in this dissertation is based on methodological approaches used to quantify the dynamical fluctuations of neurophysiological systems. The first direction of the research was to use time-frequency representation (TFR) techniques such as spatial wavelet phase coherence and coupling to analyze the dynamics of EEG signals in different frequency bands in the form of topographic maps. The distribution of power in different frequency bands was computed. The findings indicated that the power in delta frequency band is mainly distributed in prefrontal and occipital regions, the power in theta band in fronto-occipital XXI regions, power in alpha in posterior and extended to anterior, power in beta in posterior, prefrontal regions and power in gamma was dominant in prefrontal and occipital regions. All the frequency bands were involved in different activities in one way or other, however alpha band power revealed dominant anterior-posterior activity where the eye-closed coherence was higher than eye open coherence. The growing experimental evidences suggest that neural processing relies on the interaction between frequency bands and there is cross frequency coupling (CFC) present in the brain signals. Therefore, understanding of CFC patterns can be valuable tool for diagnosing and treating various neurological disorders. The phase-phase CFC on multichannel electroencephalographic (EEG) signals with EC and EO during resting state was computed to investigate which brain regions are affected by phase modulation of low frequency bands. Coupling in different frequency bands was estimated using dynamic Bayesian inference approach which can effectively detect the phase connectivity subject to the noise within a network of time varying coupled phase oscillators. Coupling was bidirectional in both EC and EO and was relatively higher in EC condition. The self, direct and common coupling scheme showed strong coupling in delta-alpha to alpha (?,?→?) and theta-alpha to alpha (?,?→?) bands. However, moderate couplings were found in theta-gamma to gamma (?,?→?), alpha-gamma to gamma (?,?→?) and delta-gamma to gamma ?,?→?) bands. The second direction was to use scale based complexity analysis technique including Multiscale Sample Entropy (MSE) and Multiscale Permutation Entropy (MPE) to quantify the dynamics of neurophysiological systems using EEG signals. The recent research evidence suggests that complexity of biological system is multiscaled and hierarchical. The findings revealed that Multiscale Permutation Entropy (MPE) gave statistically significant results and separation to distinguish the alcoholic from non-alcoholic subjects, EEG motor movement with baseline EO and EC at all selected electrodes. Moreover, Multiscale Sample Entropy (MSE) XXII was applied to distinguish EEG with epileptic seizures and healthy subjects. MSE gives statistically high significant results to distinguish the epileptic (with and without seizures) subjects with healthy subjects at all temporal scales. The third direction was to quantifying the dynamics of physiological systems using Threshold based Symbolic Time series. The normalized corrected Shannon entropy (NCSE) was computed for EEG signals during EO and EC resting states to quantify the dynamics of these systems at a range of thresholds. The results revealed significant differences between healthy and epileptic seizures subjects and EEG signals with EC and EO during resting states. The symbolic time series provides better separation than MSE between EC and EO during resting states at each electrode. The fourth direction was to quantify the dynamics of physiological systems using Wavelet based entropy at multiple temporal scales. Wavelet entropy included Shannon, threshold, sure and norm using wavelet transform were computed. The results revealed that wavelet norm and sure entropies gave statistically significant results as compared to Shannon and threshold wavelet entropy at multiple temporal scales.

مسعود علی ندوی
کاروان شبلی کا آخری مسافر
دارالمصنفین کے تین معمار تھے، حضرت سید صاحب رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ، مولانا عبدالسلام صاحب ندوی اور مولانا مسعودی ندوی اول الذکر دونوں بزرگ بہت پہلے اس دنیا سے اٹھ چکے تھے، اس قافلہ کے آخری مسافر مولانا مسعود علی صاحب ندوی نے بھی ۲۷؍ اگست کو جنت کی راہ لی، ان تینوں نے مل کر دارالمصنفین کو پروان چڑھایا تھا، حضرت سید صاحب اور مولانا عبدالسلام صاحب نے علمی حیثیت سے دارالمصنفین کا نام اونچا کیا، اور اس کی شہرت کو عالمگیر بنایا اور مولانا مسعود علی صاحب نے انتظامی حیثیت سے اس کو ترقی دی اور اس کا مقامی وقار قائم کیا۔
مرحوم سراپاقوت وعمل تھے، انھوں نے اپنے دور میں بڑے بڑے عملی کام کئے اور مولانا شبلی سے نسبت رکھنے والے اداروں کو فائدہ پہنچایا، دارالمصنفین کی تمام عمارتیں، دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء کی عالیشان مسجد، شبلی کالج کا وسیع کانووکیشن ہال انہی کے ذوق تعمیر کی یادگار ہیں، جب تک یہ عمارتیں قائم ہیں، ان کا نام زندہ رہے گا، ایک زمانہ میں سیاسی اور قومی کاموں میں بھی سرگرمی سے حصہ لیا، خلافت اور ترک موالات کی تحریک کے زمانہ میں سید صاحب کی شخصیت اور مولانا مسعود علی صاحب کی عملی جدوجہد نے دارالمصنفین کو سیاسی کاموں کا مرکز بنادیا تھا، اس زمانہ کا کوئی بڑا لیڈر ایسا نہیں ہے جس نے دارالمصنفین کا طواف نہ کیا ہو، ان سب سے مولانا کے دوستانہ تعلقات تھے، پورے ضلع میں ان کا طوطی بولتا تھا، یہاں کے سارے کاموں کے روح رواں وہی تھے، ان کے بغیر کسی تحریک میں جان نہیں پڑتی تھی، اب تو زمانہ بہت آگے بڑھ گیا ہے، ایک زمانہ میں وہ اعظم گڑھ میں تہذیب کے بھی معلم سمجھے جاتے تھے، انھوں نے یہاں کا تہذیبی معیار بلند کردیا تھا،...

Pak-China Defense Cooperation and Evolving International Relations

This study is about the impact of different global and regional changes resulting from PakistanChina’s defense cooperation and further examines the increasing range of diplomatic cooperation in the social, tactical, and economic realms. The paper focuses on three events: (i) the 1978 transformation of China and its opening-up policies; (ii) disbanding of the U.S.S.R (1991); and (iii) the event of 9/11 in the United States. These events had a significant influence on Pak-China ties. This study is a literature review and contributes to a better understanding of the evolving international systems namely the India-U.S. Tactical relations and strategic cooperation. The paper concludes that China and Pakistan need to preserve amicable, strategic, and diplomatic connections with one another as it is necessary for the peace, security, and economic development of not only China and Pakistan but for the region overall.

Becoming a Teacher Educator in Public Sector Institutions in Pakistan: Stories from Personal and Professional Lives

This exploratory study is about understanding the notion of becoming a teacher educator in the public sector teacher education institutions in Karachi, Pakistan. It addresses research questions such as: (a) Who are teacher educators and how do they become teacher educators in public sector institutions in Karachi, Pakistan? and (b) What do teacher educators do and how do they construe their role(s) as teacher educators? The study was carried out in two consecutive phases. The first phase was a survey whereby data were gathered through a questionnaire administered to all teacher educators (N = 136) working in the Government Colleges of Education and Government Elementary Colleges of Education under the Provincial and City District Government systems in Karachi, Pakistan. A descriptive analysis of the data provided a macro (bigger) picture of the teacher educators' backgrounds and their work contexts. This phase also helped in identifying individuals for the micro (individual) level analysis in the second phase which was a life history study of six teacher educators working in the two systems. Findings showcase differences with respect to teacher educators' profiles as well as availability of resources across and within the systems. It was found that individuals enter into the profession through inspiration from their own teacher educators and considering the role of teacher educators better than that of school teachers. They face challenges during the transition from school teaching to teacher education due to the demands and practices in the culture and context of the institutions. They experience duality and restrictions in their practices and establish a marginalized professional identity due to the nature of their work located in the academia of higher education as well as in the everyday life of schools. In this regard, their knowledge base seems to be tacit, stemming from their experience of teaching in schools. The study suggests implications for policy makers to bring about changes in the recruitment and professional development of teacher educators, and to equip the institutions with required resources.
