Community participation in schools has been widely advocated by researchers in the developed and developing countries. As schools get overwhelmed with so many innovations, new programmes, and competing priorities, they require more resources and sources of support. Thus communities to which schools serve have become a great source of support and resources, both human and material. This is very true for schools in Pakistan, particularly the public sector schools, which lack in effective governance and management and resources. Therefore there is a dire need for increasing communities’ active and meaningful participation in schools. However it is not known what can really increase communities’ active participation in schools and who can play the lead role in making this happen. There seems to be a consensus amongst researchers, practitioners, and policy makers that the head teacher can play the most crucial role in achieving greater level of community participation in a school. Thus keeping in view the centrality of the head teacher’s role, this study looked into the perceptions and practices of the head teacher in increasing community participation in a public sector secondary school in the district of Quetta, Balochistan. An exploratory qualitative case study approach was used to conduct this study. The data were generated through semi-structured interviews, observations, document analysis, and informal conversations with five purposively selected participants including the head teacher, two teachers, and two community members. The findings of the study revealed that the head teacher did play a key role in bridging the gap between the school and the local community. The head teacher’s perceptions about community participation in school, his leadership approach, and practices in and outside the school determine the level and purpose of community participation. Based on the findings, the study draws a few conclusions having implications for school leadership, community leaders, policy makers and researchers.

تنقید کے اصول

موضوع4:تنقید کے اصول
تنقید کے اصول:
تنقید کے اصول اور طریقہ کار میں فرق ہے۔تنقید کے دو مروجہ طریقے ہیں:
• استخراجی طریقہ کار • استقرائی طریقہ کار
استخراجی طریقہ کار:
اس طریقہ کار میں کل سے جزویا عام سے خاص کی طرف جاتے ہیں۔مثلا تمام انسان فانی ہیں لہذابلال بھی فانی ہے۔
استقرائی طریقہ کار:
اس طریقہ کار میں جزو سے کل یا خاص سے عا م کی طرف جایا جاتا ہے۔مثلا خیبر پختونخواہ کے کوے کالے ہیں، پنجاب کے کوے کالے ہیں، بلوچستان کے کوے کالے ہیں لہذاپاکستان بھر کے کوے کالے ہیں۔
تنقید کے اصول
غیر جانبداری:
تنقید کا پہلا اصول غیر جانبداری ہے۔دوستی ،تعلق داری یا پیسے کی لالچ میں جانبداری کا مظاہرہ کرنا نہیں۔اصل نقاد غیر جانبداری کا مظاہر ہ کرتا ہے۔
محنت اور لگن سے کام:
نقاد ہمیشہ محنت سے کام کرتا ہے۔ اچھا نقاد کسی کتاب کو پڑھ کر ہی اس پر تنقید کر سکتا ہے اور رائے دے سکتا ہے۔
حقائق سے آگاہی:
نقاد کو حقیقتوں کا پتہ ہونا چاہیے مثلا انٹرنیٹ کے مسائل ہر جگہ پر ہیں۔ اس حقیقت کو مدنظر رکھ کر رائے دینی چاہیئے یعنی حقیقت پسند ہونا چاہیئے۔
مضمون پر عبور:
ایک نقاد کو اپنے مضمون پر بھرپور عبور ہونا چاہییمثلا نظم پر تنقید کرتے ہوئے نظم کی بنیادی چیزیں مثلا وزن، بحر، ردیف، قافیہ، مطلع، مقطع و?غیرہ کا پتہ ہونا چاہیئے۔ اسی طرح ناول پر تنقید کرنے کے لیے اس کے پلاٹ، موضوع، کردار نگاری،مکالمہ نگاری وغیرہ یعنی اس موضوع کی بنیادیں چیزوں سے آگاہ ہو۔
جرات اظہار:
ایک اچھے نقاد کے اندر جرات اظہارکا ہون ازحد ضروری ہے یعنی مصنف کے قد کاٹھ کو دیکھنے کی بجائے اس کے کام میں جہاں غلطی ہو اسے ببانگ دہل بیان کرسکے۔
شخصیت پرستی سے پرہیز:
نقاد کے لیے لازم ہے کہ وہ شخصیت پرستی سے...

An elaborate endeavor in studying world religions would glaringly uncover the fact that most of the religions have enacted rules to follow, pertinent to daily livelihood. Such are the set of rules that the followers of the religion must follow. These rules very much include the rules about edibles. The food is something upon which not only human sustenance rests but it also keeps the human soul alive. For the same very reason we find religious and scientific prohibitions on things that are harmful for humans and if consumed evil takes the better of man’s heart, bringing upon him moral redundancy and sinister way of life. Such people are deprived of peace and piety. They ultimately not only suffer unbearable individual loss but also become a burden onto the society, country and nation

Analysis of Newtonian/Non-Newtonian Fluids by Lie Group Theoretic Methods

Analysis of Newtonian/Non-Newtonian Fluids by Lie Group Theoretic Methods The advent of efficient computation techniques has made it possible to solve nonlinear differential equations governing the fluid flow problems. Nevertheless, the possibility of obtaining exact or approximate analytical solutions is always preferred to understand the physics of fluid flow and to establish the reliability of both numerical and analytical results. This has always been an intellectual challenge for the mathematicians and engineers to find the analytical solutions of the nonlinear differential equations. Lie group analysis provides an analytic approach to find the solution of nonlinear problems and gives an insight for the possible exact and analytical solution techniques that may emerge as a consequence of this analysis. Further, Lie group analysis is a tool to simplify the problem systematically by applying the symmetries obtained through it. The main objective of this thesis is to establish the occurrence of various stretching velocities and to analyze complicated fluid flow problems using Lie group analysis. This thesis presents a Lie group analysis of partial differential equations elucidating the steady simple flow problems, mixed convection problems and combined heat and mass transfer problems for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The novelty of the work lies in using the generalized boundary conditions and to deduce the appropriate conditions that are invariant under the infinitesimal generator. These boundary conditions include the power-law stretching and exponential stretching models that have great applications in polymer and glass industries. Chapter 1 provides a brief history and literature survey covering the study of the present thesis. Chapter 2 contains some preliminaries, the basic equations of fluid flow and heat and mass transfer and general physical quantities that appear in the subsequent chapters. ixIn Chapter 3, we consider the Lie group analysis of mixed convection flow of Newtonian fluid with mass transfer over a stretching surface. We propose generalized forms of the wall stretching velocity, wall temperature and wall concentration and show the possibility of only two types of stretching velocities; namely the polynomial stretching and the exponential stretching. The similarity transformations are established and those available in the literature are extracted as special cases of our problem. Lie group analysis of non-Newtonian power-law fluid along a stretching surface is performed in Chapter 4. The application of infinitesimal generator on the generalized surface stretching conditions for non-Newtonian power-law fluid leads to the possibility of power-law and exponential stretching velocities. To author’s knowledge, exponential stretching in the flow of power-law fluid is not available in the literature. An exact analytical solution of the nonlinear similarity equation for new found exponential stretching is developed for shear thinning fluid with power-law index n = 1/2. Making use of the perturbation technique, analytical solutions are extended to a wider class of shear thinning fluids (0.1 ≤ n ≤ 0.9). The numerical solution for shear thinning fluid is also presented. An excellent agreement is found between the two solutions. The solution for the case of shear thickening fluid is obtained using the numerical technique namely; Keller box method. In Chapter 5, we investigate the flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian Powell- Eyring fluid over a stretching surface. Using Lie group analysis, the symmetries of the equations are found. The application of infinitesimal generator to the generalized boundary conditions leads us to the possibility of two types of surface condition that are in contrast to the findings in the last two chapters. Firstly, the surface is moving with constant velocity and surface temperature is either of exponential form or constant. Secondly, the surface is stretching with velocity proportional to x 1/3 (x is the distance along the plate) and the surface temperature is of power-law form. The latter case is discussed in this chapter and the similarity transformations are derived with help of the symmetries. The governing system of partial differential equations is transformed to a system of ordinary differential equations by using these similarity transformations. These equations are solved numerically using Keller box method. A xcomparison of the results thus obtained is made with the analytical and numerical solutions available in the literature and an excellent agreement is found. The effect of governing physical parameters on velocity and temperature profiles, skin friction and local Nusselt number is also analyzed and discussed. Chapter 6 is devoted to study the flow and heat transfer of Powell-Eyring fluid over a stretching surface in a parallel free stream. Geometry of the problem differs from the preceding problems, where the flow is caused solely by the stretching of the surface. The stretching velocity is proportional to x 1/3 and the free stream velocity is in terms of a generalized function. The governing equations are transformed to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using a special form of Lie group of transformations, namely scaling group of transformations. It is noted that self- similarity in the problem is possible only if free stream velocity is also proportional to x 1/3 . Numerical results are obtained by means of the Keller box method and the special cases of the problem are compared with the previous work giving good agreement. The effect of governing physical parameters on flow properties including their physical significance is also discussed. Steady three dimensional flow and heat transfer of viscous fluid on a rotating disk stretching in radial direction is investigated in Chapter 7. This problem is an extension of the traditional Von Karman flow problem to the configuration with stretchable rotating disk. Using Lie group theory the similarity transformations for nonlinear power-law stretching are derived. Exact analytical solutions are presented for pure stretching for stretching index n = 3. Numerical solutions, showing combined effects of stretching and rotation, are found using Keller box method. An excellent agreement is found between the two solutions for pure stretching problem. The quantities of physical interest, such as azimuthal and radial skin friction and Nusselt number are presented and discussed. Chapter 8 provides a concluding discourse of the thesis.
