This thesis reports a study conducted in Northern Areas of Pakistan. The purpose of the study is to explore the WSIP experiences of a government and a private school head teacher. A qualitative case study method was used to investigate the subject matter. The participants were selected on the basis of pre-determined criteria that they have participated in WSIP intervention, worked for at least one year after completion of programme and successfully implemented their WSIP learning in their schools. The findings of the study showed that WSIP intervention has been instrumental in bringing about a significant effect on the professional approaches of head teachers. It was depicted in their attitudinal changes towards their roles and improvement in professional capabilities. By modifying their attitudes, they have realised the importance of community participation, team building approach and outcomes of encouraging teachers. They are sensitised towards students' learning and their developmental needs. To meet students' needs, they have brought about visible changes in their routine practices. They include initiation of portfolios, creation of learning environment in the classrooms which focuses on maximum students' participation and introduction of new assessment procedures. They have developed their professional capacities through improving presentation skills, observatory skills, motivational skills, and improvements in reflective practices. Since the role of head teacher is directly associated with all the stakeholders of a school community, and success of any initiation depends upon active involvement of head teacher, therefore the study recommends that this aspect must be given more attention to further strengthen the timely needed capabilities of head teachers. This ultimately can maximise students' performance through developed head teacher’s approaches for effective involvement of all the stakeholders in school improvement matters.

سینٹ کھیترائن

سینٹ کیتھرائن

دھب سے طویل مسافت کے بعد ہم سینٹ کھترائن پہنچے ۔دکتوریحی ٰ نے مجھ سے پوچھاکہ تمھیں اس علاقے کے بارے میں جانکاری ہے ؟میں نے کہا ،مجھے نہیں معلوم ، اس نے کہا بہت اہم مقام ہے ،یہاں جبلِ موسیٰ ہے جہاں حضرت ِموسیٰؑ اور ربِ کریم ہم کلام ہوئے تھے ۔یہاں حضرت موسیٰؑ کو آگ دکھائی گئی اور پیغمبری دلوائی گئی ۔سبزے اور ہریالی سے بے خبر اس تنگ گھاٹی میں نہتے ،بے بس اور جنگی سامان سے ماورا اپنی قوم کو چین و امن اور آرام کی زندگی کے متلاشی موسیٰؑ کو خداوندِ کریم حکم دیتے ہیں کہ (اذہب الافرعون انہ طغیٰ ) فرعون کی طرف جائو ،بہت سرکش ہو گیا ہے ۔

میں تحیر اور وجد کی کیفیت میں تھا ،مجھے اپنے آپ کو بار بار یہ یقین دلانا پڑ رہا تھا کہ میں واقعی اس مقام پر کھڑا تھا جہاں تجلیات الٰہی کا ظہور ہوا تھا ۔میرے لیے یہ مقا م مانوس بھی تھا اور اجنبی بھی،میں یہاں پہلی دفعہ آیاتھا مگر یوں لگ رہا تھا جیسے میں یہاںکے کونے کونے سے واقف ہوں قرآنی آیات کی عملی نشانیاں میری آنکھوں کے سامنے تھیں میں بچپن سے مطالعہ قرآن کی وجہ سے اس علاقے اور یہاں ظہور پذیر ہونے والے واقعات سے با خبر تھا مگر آج با نظر ہو گیا ،پہلے ایک عام انسان تھا مگر آج اس نظارے نے خاص بنا دیا ۔سینا کی گرمی میں مجھے سردی سی محسوس ہو رہی تھی ،میری جسمانی حالت میری روحانی حالت کے ساتھ ایک کیفیت میں رہنے اور ساتھ دینے سے عاری تھی ۔دکتوریحیٰ نے پوچھا کیف الحال یا اخی ؟میں نے کہا قرآن کی بہت ساری آیات کا بصری مطالعہ کر رہا ہوں، جن کا متحمل میرا گناہ گار اور ناتواںجسم ہو نہیں...

تربية اليتيم في ضوء الأسلوب القرآني

No doubt, that Allah’s book, the Holy Quran came for gathering the hearts, joining the ranks, strengthening the love and affection, kindness and justice, coordination between family and society, to build the strong coordinated society and orphan especially about the loss of their rights and depriving of their properties or engulf them wrongly. This paper discusses the care of the Quran with the orphans in all the dimensions of their rights and the situation of Qura’nic training/education for them, so that they can become strong parts for the society. Most of the coming verses discusses/narrates about them. Stating the meaning from them for all the justices that the Quran preceded all those demanding the justice for orphans rather it gave them with complete explanations. No explanations disturb anything about it knowledgeable, that the verses of the Quran presented 22 verses in which word of the orphan mentioned with the people 8 times and with the dual once and with the plural 14 times and he who explore these verses finds them divided into three types and the 1st type presents the mentioning of kindness/ charity, and testament/will for them in our Shariah and in the previous Shariahs, and the 2nd type mentions their social rights, so this paper studies all the dimensions of orphans’ life in the light of Qura’nic method with detail, so I liked to divide my this research paper into preface, 3 chapters and ending whereas preface includes the definition of orphan, and 1st chapter states the kindness/charity to the orphan and testament for them in the light of our Shariah and including the definition of orphan, and 2nd chapter presents their social rights as the 3rd takes care of their financial rights. In the ending comes with the important recommendations and suggestions.

Effects of Different Preparations of Nigella Sativa Ns on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Type Ii Diabetic Patients

The basic aim of this placebo control study was to investigate the effects of three different preparations of Nigella sativa especially on glucose and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) patients (group-A); however normal individuals (group- B) was also studied. Both groups were treated with N. sativa Seed Powder (NsP), N. sativa Aqueous Extract (NsE) and N. sativa Oil (NsO), in addition to a placebo in phases 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Each phase was of 80 days (40 days of treatment with N. sativa preparation followed by 40 days of placebo administration). Levels of 0 day were taken as base line (concurrent control) in each phase. Fasting blood levels of glucose, insulin, total cholesterol (TC), LDL & HDL cholesterols, triglycerides (TG), total leukocyte & platelet counts, hepatic profile and blood urea were determined in subjects of both groups on 0, 40 and 80 th day of each phase of the study. In phase-1 a highly significant fall in fasting blood glucose, TC, LDL cholesterol and TG while an increase in insulin and HDL was observed in group-A after treatment with NsP as compared to concurrent control. These levels significantly reversed at the end of placebo except the HDL cholesterol. Almost similar results were obtained in subjects of group-B. In phase-2 although a decrease in glucose and increase in insulin levels was observed in group-A after treatment with NsE; which reversed after the placebo yet the changes were not significant. However a significant fall was observed in TC and TG levels of diabetics after NsE treatment; which reversed after the placebo significantly in TG but insignificantly in TC. In group B, results regarding glucose and insulin levels were similar to that of group-A of this phase. Concerning lipid profile, a significant fall in TG and insignificant decrease in TC and LDL cholesterol was observed after NsE treatment. The changes reversed after the placebo, significantly in TG and LDL cholesterol but insignificantly in TC. In phase-3, a significant fall in fasting blood glucose and a rise in insulin levels was observed in group-A after treatment with NsO2 as compared to concurrent control levels. A significant decrease in LDL & increase in HDL was observed while TC remained statistically unchanged; however a significant increase was also recorded in TG after NsO treatment. LDL and TG levels reversed significantly, while no significant change was observed in HDL and TC levels after the placebo. Subjects of group-B behaved similar to group-A, as for glucose and insulin are concerned. Regarding lipids, a decrease in LDL cholesterol (significant) and TC (insignificant) while increase in HDL cholesterol and TG (insignificant) was observed in group-B after the use of NsO. LDL and TC increased significantly after the placebo while no significant change was recorded in HDL cholesterol and TG. Total leukocyte and platelet counts remained statistically unchanged in both groups A and B, when treated with NsP, NsE, NsO or administered with placeboes in phases 1, 2 and 3 respectively as compared to their base line levels Similarly no unpleasant effect of any of the N. sativa preparation was observed regarding hepatic profile, blood urea and the subjective feelings of the diabetic and normal individuals. In the light of foregoing facts it can safely be concluded that all preparations of N. sativa had some or more antidiabetic effect. However keeping in view the overall performance, NsP was found more effective. Further large scale human studies with different dose schedules of NsP are recommended.
