A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a wirelessly connected network of vehicular nodes. VANETs have specific characteristics that impose new challenges to the network development and operation when compared with traditional mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Unlike traditional networks, where nodes are either static or move independently with low speeds, nodes in VANETs move with very high speeds, causing network fragmentations and rapid changes in the network topology. Additionally, the movement of vehicular nodes is dependent on driver behaviors and the interaction with neighboring vehicles. A number of techniques, such as message ferrying, data aggregation, and vehicular node clustering aim to improve communication efficiency in VANETs. Node clustering is a network management strategy in which nearby nodes are grouped into a set called cluster. Cluster heads (CHs), selected in the process of clustering, manage inter-cluster and intra-cluster communication. The CH may elect some of its CNs as gateway nodes that facilitate the inter-cluster communications among neighboring clusters. The lifetime of clusters and number of CHs determines the efficiency of network. In this thesis a clustering algorithm based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for VANETs (CACONET) is proposed. CACONET forms optimized clusters for robust communication. CACONET is compared empirically with state-of-the-art baseline techniques like multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) and Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (CLPSO). Moreover, some limitations in recent works have been identified due to which ACO based CACONET appears to be a better method. PSO based solution works fine for continuous values parameters. ACO based solutions works fine for combinatorial optimization problem. Clustering is basically combinatorial optimization problem and thus CACONET is more suitable for clustering as compared to PSO (as was used by competitors MOPSO and CLPSO). The comparative effectiveness of these algorithms is evaluated by varying the grid size of the network, the transmission range of nodes, and number of nodes in the network. For optimized clustering, the parameters considered are the transmission range, direction and speed of the nodes. The results indicate that CACONET significantly outperforms MOPSO and CLPSO.

انصاف قوموں کی زندگی کو توانا رکھتا ہے

انصاف قوموں کی زندگی کوتوانا رکھتا ہے
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرنا ہے وہ ہے:’’ انصاف قوموں کی زندگی کوتوانا رکھتا ہے ‘‘
صدرِذی وقار!
زندگی کی راحتیں، حسرتیں اس وقت اپنے دامن میں سمیٹی جاسکیں گی، جب قلب و ذہن تندرست و توانا ہو، جب دل و دماغ حصولِ راحت ِزیست کے لیے مستعد و تیار ہوں، جب انسان روحانی اور جسمانی طور پر تندرست اور توانا ہو، اور جملہ اعضائے انسانی حیات کے لیے آرزومند اور متمنی ہوں۔
صدرِمحترم!
بیمار اور صاحب ِفراش شخص زندگی کے الطاف کریمانہ سے کما حقہٗ مستفید نہیں ہوسکتا۔ بیمار سوچ اور منفی فکرو غور کا حامل شخص زندگی کی آسائشوں سے کوئی سروکار نہیں رکھتا ، اس کی نشست و برخاست، اس کے قیام وقعود ، اس کے افکار کامحورصرف اور صرف اس کی ذات ہوتی ہے جو داخلی یا خارجی عوامل کے پیشِ نظر عضو معطل ہو چکی ہوتی ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
افراد، فرد کی جمع ہے اور افرادمل کر قوم بنتے ہیں اسی طرح قوم سے اقوام اور قومیں بنتی ہیں۔ اقوام کی اکائی فرد ہے، اور فرد کی روحانی، جسمانی ،قلبی و ذہنی ساخت میں کوئی سقم یا جھول واقع ہوجائے تو پورا نظام متاثر ہو جاتا ہے، اس کے مقصد ِحیات کی تکمیل میں رکاوٹیں کھڑی ہو جاتی ہیں بالآخر اس کا وجود غیر مفید ہو جاتا ہے۔
جناب صدر!
کائنات کے نظام میں انسان ایک جزو لاینفک ہے، دراصل کائنات نام ہی بنی نوع انسان کا ہے، اس لیے کہ انسان اشرف المخلوقات ہے، اور مخلوقات کا شرف ہی نہ ہو تو گویا و ہ مخلوقات ہی نہیں ہے ،مخلوقات کی زندگیوں کو...

The Investigative System of Islam Investigative System of Islam

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) was sent to establish justice. He made use of law and good conduct to achieve this great target. Complete investigation and transport exploration is of universal value that holds fundamental significance in legal system. This research article presents insight, broadness and transparency of investigatory system established by the Prophet (PBUH). It also highlights rules and laws in the light of valid research references. All these features are evident in Prophet’s personality. In this regard, keeping in view the nature of topic, the guidance has been sought from the commands of The Quran, Hadith and different incidents of the life of Muhammad (SAWW). A discussion has been premeditated to explore Prophet’s tactics regarding law of investigation. This research article, having research outlook and logical link, touches upon the rules and principles which the Holy Prophet (PBUH) has given us for the recognition of the real culprit of good judgment, clues and witnesses. Investigative departments are radically important for the protection of Islam, maintenance of peace, internal stability and the protection of life, honor and property of people living in the society. The charter of these agencies is to abolish oppression, establish justice, impose the writ of law, and punish the guilty and to bring lawbreakers within the grip of law. The officer who performs the above duties is known as Naazir e Jaraaim1 in Islamic jurisprudential terminology. Further duties which fall within the remit of this officer are: Investigation of charges, production of the accused before a court of law, getting proven criminals sentenced by the court, executing the sentence handed down, releasing   the accused in case evidence is not sufficient and getting wrongful accusers punished properly.

Impact of Personality on Adaptive Performance With Mediating Role of Emotional Labor. Testing a Mediated Moderated Model Among Front-Line Female Hospitality Industry Employees in Pakistan

This study examines the relationship between facets of emotional labor viz. surface acting and deep acting on adaptive performance with mediating role of emotional exhaustion among female hospitality staff in Pakistan. The major antecedents for emotional labor analyzed in the current study are big five personality dimensions as type of personality determines the choice of emotional labor strategy. The study also examines the mediating role of emotional labor strategies between all five dimensions of personality and emotional exhaustion relationship. The job of female staff in hospitality sector becomes more cumbersome in a masculine culture hence its moderating role was also examined. Although frequent regulation of emotions in service encounters is inherently stressful and thus more likely to lead to emotional exhaustion, emotional intelligence can help reduce the negative impact of stress arising from emotional labor. Thus moderating role of emotional intelligence was also examined. The first questionnaire was administered on front-line female employees of hotels of Pakistan who were encouraged by their HR department head and/or immediate supervisor/head to complete questionnaire as they were requested to give permission to fill out the questionnaires. 17 The respondents who have specific exposure, who serve as front-line service providers’ were requested individually to complete questionnaire. A total of 700 questionnaires were distributed, 513 questionnaires were received in which 42 questionnaires were incomplete hence 67.3 % response rate yielded as 471 questionnaires were used for analysis. The second questionnaire was administered on immediate supervisors who have to make evaluation regarding front-line female employees’ adaptive performance. Seventy six supervisors/heads of different hotels provided adaptive performance rating of 471 employees. Each supervisor evaluated almost six front-line female employees’ adaptive performance. The results of the study show sufficient support for greater part of hypotheses. It shows that openness to experience personality dimension is negatively associated to surface acting as well as deep acting. Conscientious, extraversion and agreeableness personality dimensions are negatively associated to surface acting and positively connected to deep acting. Neuroticism dimension of personality is positively connected with surface acting and negatively associated with deep acting. It has been analyzed and found that three dimensions of personality (openness to experience, conscientiousness and extraversion) are positively associated with adaptive performance. Whereas, agreeableness has significant negative relation with adaptive performance and neuroticism is negatively connected with adaptive performance. Surface acting is positively associated to emotional exhaustion whereas deep acting is negatively connected with emotional exhaustion. Surface acting has significant negative impact on adaptive performance whereas deep acting has positive impact on adaptive performance. Results also show that there is no mediation of emotional labor (surface acting and deep acting) between most dimensions of personality and emotional exhaustion. The proposed mediating role of emotional labor between most of big five personality dimensions and emotional exhaustion was not found. As expected emotional intelligence moderates surface acting-emotional exhaustion relationship as well as deep acting-emotional exhaustion connection, whereas, masculinity did not moderate any proposed relationship. Lastly, it is also observed from the results that emotional exhaustion mediated the relationship between surface acting-adaptive performance and deep acting-adaptive performance. Theoretical as well as practical implications of the study have also been discussed. Moreover, limitations and future research directions are also given.
