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.

المبحث الثالث: طلاقها

المبحث الثالث: طلاقها

 کانت حیاۃ الشاعرۃ مشتتۃ بین الفرح والحزن، فکانت کل یوم قصۃ جدیدۃ في حیاتھا، واستمرت الخلافات بین بروین شاکر وزجھا، وکان زوجھا یطلب منھا أن تضحي بوظیفتھا وبشعرھا من أجل الزوج والسعادۃ الزوجیۃ، والشاعرۃ کانت ترید أن توفق بین البیت والعمل والشعر، ولکن لم تستطع النجاح بین ھذہ الأمور کلھا۔

 کانت بروین شاکر إنسانۃ بارعۃ ذات طموح عالِ وفي نفس الوقت رؤوفۃ وحنونۃ، وأیضاً نصیر علي کان إنسانًا ھادئًا ولطیفًا وطیب القلب، ولكن الإثنين لھما أعمالھما وحیاتھما ووظائفھما وأفکارھما الخاصۃ مختلفان عن بعضھما البعض۔

 أشتھرت الشاعرۃ في ساحتھا الأدبیۃ والشعریۃ بإسمھا وشخصیتھا ولکن لم یعجب ذلك زوجھا، فأحسّ بالغیرۃ، ثم وصلت أعمال الشاعرۃ إلی الجرائد والتلفزیون والمقابلات الشخصیۃ، والحوار الذاتي بین الشاعرۃ والمذیعین کل ھذا زاد علی زوجھا من الحسد والغیرۃ، ولکن الشاعرۃ تعبت من ھذہ المشاجرات والخلافات الزوجیۃ وکانت لا تستطیع ان تتراجع وتترک الحیاۃ الأدبیۃ لأنھا الآن وصلت إلی قمم الإبداع والفن الأدبي ولکن في نفس الوقت کثرت مشاکلھا وتبعثرت حیاتھا الزوجیۃ فلذلک إنتقلت من کراتشي، وجاء ت واستقرت في إسلام آباد، حاول زوجھا إصلاح الخلافات ولم ینجح، وفي 1987 جاء نصیر علي إلی بروین ومعہُ أوراق الطلاق، فأراد من زوجتہِ أن توقع علی ھذہ الأوراق وکان من أول شرائط الطلاق بأن بروین إذا تزوجت برجلٍ آخر فستحرم من إبنھا (مراد) الذي کان وحیدھا، فتم الطلاق بین الزوجین في 1987م وکان ذلک آخر لقاء بینھما[1]، وھذا من بعض أشعارھا، ما أجمل قولھا عند ما قالت:

وہ تو خوشبو ہے ہواؤں میں بکھر جائیگا

مسئلہ پھول کا ہے پھول کدھر جائیگا

 

 

الترجمۃ:

 ھو ذاک الریح العطر سینتشر في الھواء

 فماذا عن بقاء الزھرۃ،...

اسلام اور دوسرے مذاہب میں خدا کے تصور کا تحقیقی و تقابلی جائزہ

The word “God” and its derivatives apparently seen common knowledge. However when the concept of God is studied through various religions, it becomes evident that this word has undergone a prolonged evolutionary stages. Therefore, it may safely be said that this vital concept has evolved and later undergoing through various transformation culminated on the concept of “Tawheed”. This article attempts to present an overview of the concept of God with reference to different religions as this concept of God has remained a focus of man’s activities.    

Dynamical Properties of Specific Black Holes

The present thesis comprises the study of three dynamical phenomenon such as thermal fluctuations, accretion and tidal forces of black holes/regular black holes. We consider the logarithmic corrected entropy in order to analyze the thermal fluctuations. We examine the effects of thermal fluctuations on a regular black hole of the non-minimal Einstein-Yang-Mill theory with gauge field of magnetic Wu-Yang type and a cosmological constant. We investigate the first law of thermodynamics in the presence of logarithmic corrected entropy and non-minimal regular black hole. Furthermore, we discuss the thermal fluctuation problem by utilizing the higher order corrected entropy. We examine the thermodynamical behavior of two well-known black holes such as Reissner-Nordström Anti de Sitter black hole with global monopole and f(R) black hole in the presence of higher order corrected entropy. We also discuss the accretion problem in two phases. In first phase, we analyze the accretion onto static spherically symmetric regular black holes for specific choices of the equation of state parameter. The underlying regular black holes are charged regular black holes using the Fermi-Dirac distribution, logistic distribution, non-linear electrodynamics, respectively, and Kehagias-Sftesos asymptotically flat regular black holes. In second phase, we develop the Hamiltonian dynamical system to tackle the accretion problem. We investigate the accretion of test fluids onto regular black holes such as Kehagias-Sftesos black hole and regular black holes with Dagum distribution function. We analyze the accretion process when different test fluids are falling onto these regular black holes. The behavior of fluid flow and the existence of sonic points is being checked for these regular black holes. Finally, we investigate the tidal forces occurring in a Kiselev black hole surrounded by radiation and dust fluids. We also solve the geodesic deviation equation for radially free-falling bodies toward Kiselev black hole. We explain the geodesic deviation vector graphically and point out the location of the event and Cauchy horizons for specific values of the radiation and dust parameters.
