Early Childhood Education has been considered as a fundamental pillar for lifelong learning. In this regard, the teachers of early years need to play a significant role in the teaching and learning process at the classroom level. The study aimed to explore the question, "How do two early years teachers implement their learning, acquired from the Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) Certificate in Education (Cert. Ed.), Programme 2006-2007, at the Aga Khan University, Institute for Educational Development (AKU-IED), Karachi. The study was qualitative in nature. Purposive sampling method was used under the qualitative case study approach where only the trained AKU-IED, ECD teachers were selected from two private schools in Karachi. The two ECD (Class I, II) teachers' perception, their conceptual understanding regarding different aspects of teaching in the early years, their classroom practices, the factors that facilitated them in the implementation of their learning and challenges they faced while translating their learning into classroom practices were explored. The data was generated through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, informal talks or chats, and document analysis. The study is significant at both personal and professional level. It has strengthened and deepened my understanding about child development, how children learn, the role of the teacher and the environment specific to early childhood classrooms. Moreover, it has attributed to the literature about early childhood education especially, in the developing world context. Furthermore, it has also informed ECED faculty at AKU-IED about the implementation of ECED programmes in the real school context. The findings of this study will hopefully make a contribution in designing further training programmes for ECED facilitators at AKUIED. Besides the findings will be particularly helpful in those schools, where the study was conducted. It will provide the two teachers an opportunity to reflect on their own classroom teaching practices, improve and undertake different initiatives in early year's education. The findings suggest that a change has occurred in the teachers believes and perceptions regarding the teaching learning practices in the early years. They have adapted their learning by contextualizing it in their classroom and made a shift from the previous traditional approaches of teaching towards the usage of more innovative ways of teaching. As a consequence, they look at them in a more effective role as early years teachers. They are translating their learning acquired from the programme including active learning, integrated teaching and the usage of different teaching strategies in

مولانا سید محمد مرتضیٰ مظاہری

مولانا سید محمد مرتضیٰ مظاہری مرحوم
ندوۃ العلماء کے کتب خانہ شبلی کے ناظر مولانا سید محمد مرتضیٰ مظاہری بھی ۳؍ اور ۴؍ نومبر کی درمیانی شب میں لکھنؤ میں انتقال فرماگئے، وہ قریباً چالیس برس تک ندوہ کے کتب خانہ کی ترقی و تزئین کے لیے وقف رہے، لائبریری سائنس کی کسی مروجہ عصری سند کے بغیر انہوں نے جس طرح اس کتب خانہ کو ملک کا بہترین کتب خانہ بنایا وہ اپنی مثال آپ ہے، انہوں نے عرصہ تک ندوہ کے مدرسہ ثانویہ اور دارالاقامہ سلیمانیہ میں اتالیق و مربی کے فرائض بھی انجام دیے ندوہ اور مولانا سید ابوالحسن علی ندوی سے ان کو عشق تھا، ندوہ کے لیے انہوں نے کثرت سے سفر کئے، نہایت مرنجاں مرنج خوش اخلاق، ہنس مکھ اور خلیق و شفیق تھے دارالمصنفین سے بھی ان کو خاص تعلق تھا، سید صباح الدین عبدالرحمن مرحوم جب بابری مسجد مرتب کررہے تھے تو مولانا نے بڑی دلچسپی سے ان کو ضروری مخطوطات و کتابیں مہیا کیں جن کا اعتراف کتاب کے مقدمہ میں کیا گیا ہے، گزشتہ مہینہ جب دارالمصنفین میں رابطہ ادب اسلامی کے سمینار کا اعلان ہوا تو وہ اس میں شریک ہونے والے تھے، لیکن قضاو قدر نے اس سے پہلے ہی ان کو اپنے خالق حقیقی کے حضور میں بلالیا، اﷲ تعالیٰ پس ماندگان کو صبر جمیل اور مولانا مرحوم کو جنت الفردوس میں جگہ عطا فرمائے، آمین۔ (’’ع ۔ص‘‘، دسمبر ۱۹۹۵ء)

Design and Implementation of Energy Management System Using High Scale Scada

For energy deficit countries like Pakistan, an optimal energy management program is essential to make sure reliability in energy supply and discover energy saving opportunities by minimizing costs related to generation and transmission of energy. SCADA based management and supervision systems capitalize on the deployment of the on hand power management facility by interactive review of the electrical power network to check for system damages and outages. This thesis has contributed in low cost development and implementation of a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) with provision of wireless connectivity with an aim to optimize the energy management system based on SCADA. This particular design of RTU is based on FPGA and its performance is better than commercially available RTUs based on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and it is also well comparable with other commercially available modern RTUs for power related applications. The characteristics and features of developed RTU have been verified by means of hardware testing. Moreover, a model for optimized energy management system was also proposed and demonstrated by means of simulations. The provision of wireless connectivity in the developed RTU has been optimized and benchmarking was also done for further verification. Initially, the modeling of the power system outages and the system adjustments using contingency analysis using PowerWorld simulator is discussed which is followed by consideration of optimal power flow (OPF) tool to determine effective system corrections to execute in either the base case followed by a primary contingency or any of the secondary contingencies. It also incorporates two major functionalities namely Minimum Cost and Minimum Control Change which are available in OPF. It is then supplemented by mathematical model for congestion management to prove that the power flow can be affected not only by either varying voltage magnitudes or the power angle but it can also be affected by changing reactance of the transmission line. Therefore, either power angle or voltage magnitude may be used for congestion management. An integrated framework has been proposed after the development of model for power system outages and adjustments, OPF and mathematical model for xiv congestion management. This framework can provide a simulation platform for detailed study of power system to overcome issues like execution of restoration scheme by adding renewable energy resources. For development of RTU, a comparative assessment of performance of both methodologies of RTU design is executed, one based on PLCs and other one based on FPGAs which finalized for development of RTU due to its better performance and reliability. The hardware implementation and verification of this RTU design is done using a starter kit based on XILINX Spartan-3 Series FPGA with 500K logic gates and the MHX-2400 frequency-hopping 2.4 GHz spread-spectrum communications module which had been examined and found suitable as Communication Interface Module for this development. The FPGA based RTU offers flexibility in terms of I/Os, CPU and radio related configurations and expansion can be accommodated quickly if needed as FPGA based designs are reconfigurable. The design of link optimization has been implemented using Radio Mobile Simulator, a well known simulation platform for point to multipoint link optimization. The data transmitted from RTU is being received through Communication Interface Module for data integrity and graphical representation for which further benchmarking is done for Data Communication Protocol to further verify that the proposed solution is well suited for optimized energy management in countries having shortfall of energy. The implementation practical RTU hardware using FPGA include design initialization, main system thread, design modeling and qualification, process synthesis, programming of device and integration of communication interface module (MHX-2400) which interfaced with Spartan 3E using header available on starter kit. Finally, simulation of field inputs (variation in load) and control outputs (circuit breaker and isolators) connected with RTU from test panels has been done in hardware testing phase which allows sample inputs to be varied over the entire input range using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) followed by the suggestions for future work so that the research work may be extended to integrate new features and tools to contribute in the developed RTU hardware.
