The world of mathematics education is progressing rapidly with new knowledge being generated through advanced research. In order to make sense of the new mathematical discoveries and information in the field of mathematics education, conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts is very essential. Moreover, mathematics teaching and learning to promote students’ conceptual understanding in the context of Pakistan is considered challenging. Nevertheless teachers try to handle the emerging challenges while teaching for conceptual understanding. This study aimed to explore the challenges of mathematics classrooms and the strategies that mathematics teachers use to promote mathematical understanding in the middle school of a private Learning Resource High School in the context of Gilgit-Baltistan. In order to achieve the research purpose, a qualitative case study approach was used to carry out this study. The participants of this study were two mathematics teachers. The tools used for the purpose of data collection were: semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, post lesson discussions, document analysis and reflective journal maintained by the researcher. The interview data was audio-taped and transcribed. Further, the data was analyzed by coding and categorizing under various themes. The study revealed that during the teaching and learning of mathematics, teachers face certain types of challenges such as English language barrier, non-availability of teaching resources and their utilization, lack of classroom culture of exploration and issues in teaching of algebraic concepts. Similarly, the study also revealed that to overcome the emerging challenges, the teachers facilitate students with the help of contextual low-cost no-cost materials, contextualizing the mathematical concepts and through the involvement of the students. This study can help mathematics teachers and educators to design various types of activities to overcome the challenges.

ارشاد ڈیروی دی شاعری دے سرنانویں

ارشاد ڈیروی دی شاعری دے سرنانویں

ارشاد ڈیروی قادر الکلام شاعر اے ۔اوس دے کلام دیاں کئی پرتاں ہن ۔قاری جدوں اوس دے شعر پڑھنے شروع کر دا اے تاں معنیاں سے اتھاہ سمندر وچ ڈب جاندا اے ۔ایس لئی کہ اوس دا مشاہدہ بہوں تیز ہئے ۔ایہوں کارن ہے کہ اوس نے حیاتی نال تعلق رکھن والے ہر پکھ بارے لکھیا اے ،رومانوی پکھ ہووے یاں سیاسی ،سماجی پکھ ہووے یاں مذہبی ،لوکائی دے وطیرے دی گل ہووے یا ںتاریخ نویسی دی ،سماج سدھار دی گل ہووے یا ں سماجی برائیاں اتے طنز دی ،ارشاد ڈیروی دا قلم ہر موضوع اتے روانی نال چل دا اے تے بہو ں خوب لکھدا اے ۔اوس دی شاعری وچوں کجھ موضوعات دا ویروا کیتا جاندا اے ۔

ارشاد ڈیروی ماہر نفسیات و ی اے ۔انساناں دے آپسی رویے تے سوچ نوں چنگی طرح جاندے اے ۔اوہ لوکائی دے عام سلوک دی بہوں سوہنے ڈھنگ وچ ترجمانی کر دا اے آکھدے نیں کہ مینوں اپنے رقیب تے کوئی گلہ اے نہ زمانے اتے ۔بس میرے یاراں مینوں لٹیا اے ۔

رقیبیں تو گلہ کائینی نہ ہے شکوہ زمانے توں

ساڈٖے یاریں دے ہتھوں بٖس ساڈٖا گھر پیا لٹیندا ہے

(۱)

ایہناں متراں نیں ہر جا اُتے دھوکہ دتا ہئے ۔ہن حالت ایہہ ہو گئی اے کہ چاروں پاسے دھوکہ نظر آندا اے ۔

ہر منزل تے دوکھا ملیئے سچ نہیں ملیا کہیں جاہ

چاروں پاسوں دوکھا کھا کے آ گئے ہیں احٖ پڑتے

(۲)

رب نے انسان کوں رزق وکھو وکھ ڈھنگ راہیں عطا کیتا اے ۔کتے فقیری دی صورت وچ تے کتے فاکہ کشی توںبعد۔

Factors Related to the Development of Children's Motoric in Integrated Service Post

Motor development is a process of growing and development of motion ability of children's development conditions with the nerve and brain development of children so every simple movement is the results of complex interaction patterns of various and optimized particular systems. Motor development is connected with the growth process of motoric associated with knowledge, family income and attitudes of moms. The type of research used is observational research with the "cross sectional study" approach, to know the factors related to motor development of motorcycle of body in the integrated service post of Sawi Massamaturu village, popular district. Research results show that of the large 30 sample estimates, 14 children with normal motor development and 6 children that the motor development is disturbed. Conclusion in this research a significant relationship between knowledge, and attitude with the motoric development of family income not significant the development of children motoric

Molecular Detection of Citrus Bacterial Pathogen Xanthomonas Axonopodis and Incorporation of Amp Gene in Citrus Cultivar for Disease Resistance Against Citrus Canker.

Citrus is one of the most popular and major commercial fruit crops of Pakistan. It belongs to family Rutaceae that comprises of 158 genera and 1900 species. Pakistan is the 12th largest producer of citrus, which is cultivated on an area of 206,569 hectares with 2.36 million tons annual production in 2016. The yield and poor quality of citrus fruits is threatened by many fungal, viral and bacterial diseases. Among these diseases, Citrus bacterial canker (CBC) caused by Gram negative, rod shape, phytopathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis. subsp citri (Xac) is most important which reduce the cosmetic and market values of the fruit. It is a leaf-spotting and fruit rind blemishing disease which resulted into defoliation, shoot dieback, and fruit drop in severe infection. In current study, almost 500 samples belonging to different citrus groups such as Mandarin, Grape fruit, Lemon and limes, Sweet oranges and Rootstocks were collected from “Citrus Research Institute, Sargodha and Bursha Citrus Research & Development Center, Sillanwali. In the Symptomatic leaves and fruit samples the early symptoms appeared as slightly raised, tiny, blister-like lesions. In the fruit the lesions appeared as dark brown to black with brown to black sunken, corky centers on maturity. The present study was conducted to identify the citrus bacterial canker pathogen (Xac) on the basis of microscopy, morphological, biochemical and molecular assays. The pathogen was identified as Gram negative and colonies were appeared as creamish light yellow with mucoid surface and sticky texture. The 20 different biochemical tests were performed to characterize the Xac. In decarboxylase of Lysine, Ornithine and Arginine dihydrolase tests, all Xac isolates showed negative results while positive results were observed in case of Citrate utilization, Urea hydrolysis, Acetoin production, Gelatin liquefaction tests, Rhaminose and Sucrose fermentation. The identity of the isolates was further confirmed by PCR amplification using primer specific to 16S rDNA and ITS region of the pathogen. Out of 55 samples 27 samples were found to be positive for the pathogen by using 16S rDNA primers. Further 500 samples were screened by ITS based primer out of which 196 were positive for the disease. The disease severity was different in all seven groups of citrus. Lemon and Lime group of citrus collected from CRI recorded the highest percentage of disease xii susceptibility (81%) followed by Grapefruit (71%), whereas rootstocks exhibited the least disease susceptibility (12%). While in Silanwali, the highest percentage (frequency) of disease susceptibility was in grapefruit (39%) following by Mandarin (26%) and the lowest disease severity 15% in Sweet oranges. The Silanwali and CRI localities recorded a disease incidence of 62% and 38% respectively. The phylogenetic tree constructed by neighbor joining method by Mega 7.0 method clustered all Xanthomonas axonopodis taxa into a monophyletic group. The bacterium isolate from shamber (3C_XCF) showed 100% homology to reference sequence of Xac isolate from China (Accesion No. CP011827.2). Considering the results of the performed tests, sequencing and phylogenetic tree confirmed the bacterial isolates to be X. axonopodis subsp. citri which is an infectious pathogen of A type citrus canker. In order to obtain resistance against CBC disease, insect derived antimicrobial peptide gene (AMP) attacin A (attA) included the native signal peptide responsible for directing the insect protein to the extracellular space was successfully cloned into pFF19 cloning vector to from pFFattA vector. Further expression cassette 35S-35S-attA-35ST was restricted from pFFattA vector and was successfully transformed into binary pCambia 2300 vector to form pCattA recombinant vector. The transformation of the expression cassette was confirmed by restriction digestion and sequencing. The pCattA was successfully transformed into citrus cultivar (Rough lemon) by using Agrobacterium mediated transformation using epicotyl region as an explant collected from seedling germinated in vitro under 16hrs light period and 8hrs darkness. The best co-cultivation condition was the incubation of the explant for three days in co-culture medium supplemented with 200μM Acetosyringone. Genetically transformed plants were identified by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by using attA gene specific primers. Quantitative real-time PCR assay was also used to detect the presence of mRNA in all transgenic lines and the threshold values of positive samples was in the range of 14-19.
