This study aimed to explore the experiences of District management and school staff regarding newly introduced teacher performance assessment system in Government schools of Gilgit- Balistan. The study was conducted in two government schools of the district using qualitative case study approach. Semi-structured interviews, field notes and document analysis were sources of data collection. The study involved seven research participants, a district education officer, two head teachers and four teachers from Gilgit-BaItistan. The study has generated some interesting findings related to their experience. In Government context, there were some concerns and issues in relation to quality teaching, students' learning and drawbacks in the existing performance appraisal tool- Annual Confidential Report, which led the district management to develop and implement a system that was more professional development oriented. It aimed to improve teachers' teaching practices, identifying their needs for the provision of support and accountability. New assessment system was understood as a systematic process of collecting information about teachers' performance for feedback and development. The teachers had positive attitudes towards the new system as it helped them to enhance their content knowledge, planning skills, reflective practices and change their traditional belief of teaching. Most importantly, the systematic process played crucial role in changing the attitude of the teachers towards teaching which contributed to quality teaching and students' achievement. However, teachers had some concerns about unannounced observations and nature of feedback while head teachers experienced less support from the senior management for professional support and monitoring. The District management dealing with large number of schools experienced lack of capacity as a challenge in its effective implementation. The data indicated that collaborative efforts of some key representatives in designing and pilot testing for the feedback before its implementation could be more effective. This study is significant for practitioners to reflect upon their practices and refine the tool to maximize the positive aspects and minimize the shortcomings to make it effective and purposeful.

جدوں جاگدے بخت نیں عاشقاں دے

جدوں جاگ دے بخت نے عاشقاں دے
تداں حسن دی پئی خیرات ہندی

جیہڑی گل صلاح دے نال کریے
اوسے گل دے وچ برکات ہوندی

جیویں درد وچھوڑا حیران کردا
ایڈی وڈی نہیں کوئی سوغات ہوندی

جا کے پچھ لے چریں وچھنیاں توں
کیویں غم دی کالڑی رات ہوندی

جدوں یاد ہر ویلے ہی آوندی اے
پئی وچ خواباں ملاقات ہوندی

ہار جیت دا عشق قانون وکھرا
بازی ہر کے وی نہیں مات ہوندی

اکھیں رنیاں انج نیں ہجر اندر
جیویں ساون وچ برسات ہوندی

پڑھیے رہیے درود سلام ہر دم
شافع باہجھ نہ مول نجات ہوندی

لکھ دے حشر تائیں واردات غم دی
ہتھیں دکھاں دی قلم دوات ہوندی

ہوندی وصل بہار خدا کر کے
بھانویں دن ہوندا بھانویں رات ہوندی

Formulation and Characterization of Skin Rejuvenating Multiple Emulsions Loaded With Botanical Extracts

Background and Aims: Antioxidants are being extensively explored for their cutaneous benefits. Green tea and sacred lotus are popular antioxidants since ancient times. Aim of this study was to explore cutaneous benefits of these historic plants after formulating them in a novel carrier system. Methods: After successive extractions of antioxidants from lotus and green tea, their antioxidant activities were measured through DPPH antioxidant assay. Extracts were encapsulated in W/O/W type multiple emulsions. To obtain multiple emulsions having long-term shelf storage stability, various hydrophilic emulsifiers were tried along with polymeric emulsifier cetyl dimethicone copolyol. The most suitable multiple emulsion with excellent skin compatibility have been used as carrier of extracts to the skin of healthy human subjects (n=33), after their informed consents. One group applied 5% green tea while a second group applied 5% lotus and a third group applied combination of both extracts on left cheeks once daily over a 60 days treatment course. A placebo multiple emulsion was applied on right cheek as control in all three groups. Non-invasive measurements were performed at specific time intervals using various biophysical techniques such Corneometry, Tewametry, Mexametry, Sebumetry and Skin profilometry. Results were justified through various statistical methods. Results: Green tea and lotus revealed strong antioxidant potentials and extracts were stable in a multiple emulsion, which showed shelf storage stability of 1 year. Furthermore, all the formulations subjected to patch test were skin compatible and multiple emulsions with combination of extracts showed superior skin compatibility IX profile. Results obtained through efficacy studies showed that green tea and lotus have strong skin rejuvenation potential by improving various parameters of skin physiology. For example (a) green tea and lotus improved barrier function of the skin (b) Interestingly all three formulations positively influenced in any way at some of the skin surface parameters (c) green tea plus lotus treatment found superior to placebo for its effectiveness on the skin’s melanin pigmentation whereas lotus treatment alone has remarkable effect than green tea alone (d) combined treatment with green tea and lotus has superior efficacy over green tea alone in sebum reduction. Overall, combined treatment found superior for its effects on healthy skin profile. Conclusions: It is concluded that, the synergistic effects of the lotus, together with the green tea, on various parameters of skin physiology appears due to constituents who have a potentiation effect. Key Words: Green tea, Lotus, Multiple emulsions, Suface Evaluation of Living Skin (SELS), Patch test, Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), Melanin, Erythema, Skin Sebum.
