In my thesis some of the techniques of graph transformation and its applications are introduced. Some of the basic graph transformations are edge deletion, edge contraction, vertex splitting, inner dual of a planar graph and vertex deletion. Inner dual of a graph does not maintain the orientation of the edges in the original graph. To keep the orientation, various methods and techniques are used. Here the technique called He-Matrix is used. This is designed for any hexagonal system. Here the orientation of the edges is represented by using edge weights. These weights can be 1, 2 or 3 for any edge depending upon its orientation. When a hexagonal system is rotated through angles which are multiple of 60 degrees a new graph is obtained. Considering the edge weights, the inner dual of these graphs may be different. This implies that the different inner duals can be compared on different basis. In this thesis two different problems are solved related to these inner duals. The first problem is to find the orientation where the minimum spanning tree is the smallest. Different theorems and algorithms related to this topic are given. Also two linear time algorithms are presented. The first one finds the required orientation without computing the minimum spanning tree in any of the direction while the second solves the minimum spanning tree problem in linear time, in any of the given orientation. The second problem related to the Inner dualist is finding the orientation that gives the smallest shortest path between any two given points. Again some theorems are proved and a linear time algorithm is discussed that determines the orientation and finds the required shortest path is presented. The next problem is an application of graph transformation and network flows. Here a postman problem is discussed. This postman is working in an office with some constraints. These constraints are analogous to the working of a router, so the results from this part can be applied to finding faulty routers. The information available is the total number of letters sent and received by each person. The objective is to find some bounds on the total number of letters that the postman has lost. This number can be used to measure the performance of our postman. This can also be used to compare the performance of different routers, and also indicate the routers that are faulty. Two different linear time algorithms are given that solve this problem correctly. Moreover, a few theoretical results are also given. The concept of graph transformation in the area of teaching methodologies is also applied. Group theory is among the most difficult courses in undergraduate mathematics. The difficulty in learning arises from the fact that this course is abstract in nature and no pictorial representation or visualization is used in teaching this subject. Groups can be represented in various ways, and one of the representations is group automata. This is very similar to finite automata. Here a group is first transformed into an automaton, which is also abstract in nature. Representation for automata is available in the form of state diagrams and they can be viewed as a labeled graph. Here, the group axioms can be studied easily, and identity element and inverse of any element can be visualized. Also the closure property and the associative law can be understood with the help of such graphs. After the axioms, some of the fundamental theorems in group theory are proved in this model, and it is shown how group transformations can be used to present a proof using graphs, of otherwise abstract concepts and theorems. One such example is analogous to the technique where an equivalent minimum state deterministic finite automata is found for any given deterministic finite automata.

Introduction to Communication Research: The First Basic Steps

Since the articles publish in Weekend Reviews and journals like Pakistan Perspectives are usually anchored in Communication Research it is incumbent that the first basic steps in that Research are delineated first. The first steps consist of three basic exposures i.e. Selective exposure, selective perception and selective retention. A. Selective exposure means that you expose yourself to those events or developments you’re already familiar with. If that is, if you’re PMLN fan you don’t usually expose yourself to PPP meetings or events. That is you strengthen your already antecedent perception all the more-to the exclusion to other perceptions. B. Selective perception means that even when you expose yourself to selective exposure you try to pursue only those developments or events that you’re at home with. Since you don’t expose yourself to other perceptions you get yourself confirmed or strengthened in your own persistent views. C. Finally, selective retention means that you retain only such perceptions which again are antecedent to your previous perceptions. In any case, the differences wrought by exposing yourself to different views are great, even monumental. This is seen in the respective stance of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi on the federal part of the Government of India Act, 1935-1940. Jinnah use to expose himself to all sorts of document, word by word and formulated his stance in the light of his readings.

Effectiveness of Community Participation in Sustainable Forestry in Malakand Division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

This study investigates the effectiveness of community participation in sustainable forestry in Malakand Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It studies the existing mechanism of community participation in the management of forest resources; identifying the factors paralyzing the execution of participatory/joint forest management and highlighting the benefits sharing strategy among different stockholders. To carry out this study qualitative methodology was employed. Four districts i.e. Swat, Shangla, Dir Upper and Chitral were purposively selected out of the total seven districts in Malakand Division. 24 Executive Body, 48 General Body members of the selected JFMCs and 24 Forest Department employees were individually interviewed in the selected districts. Moreover, 08 Focus Group Discussions were also conducted to ensure more reliable information. It was found that there was gigantic gap between the theoretical claims and practical implementation of participatory approach in the management of forest resources as the Forest Department had meager resources for the implementation of participatory approach in the management of forest resources. The, staff responsible for such activities, was neither available nor properly trained to perform their duties. The specialized staff had no proper service structure and incentives while working in far-flung hilly areas. Owing to economic and socio-cultural constraints, forest-non owners and women were excluded from the management of forest resources and its benefits. The royalty from the forest products was distributed among the forest owners on the basis of male members in a family. Females and forest-non owners were not given any share in it. Therefore, the poor people were not interested to participate in forest management activities without incentives. The study suggests that the capacity of Forest Department staff should be built and it should provide with financial resources for the proper implementation of participatory approach. The local masses should be mobilized and organized for active participation in the management of forest resources and the benefits sharing strategy should be made pro-poor and gender sensitive. Furthermore, it is suggested that separate women organizations (JFMCs) would be more effective in such areas where women are in close interaction/contact with forest resources and their socio-cultural setup does not allow them to participate in the same organizations with men.
