This study sets out to answer three questions: 1. What factors hinder or facilitate the implementation of cooperative learning in schools in Pakistan? 2. What process is involved in teachers integrating cooperative learning into their existing repertoire? 3. What student outcomes result from teachers using cooperative learning in their classrooms? The study was conducted in a private school in Karachi. Four teachers - two primary and two secondary participated in the study. The Johnson & Johnson "Learning Together" model of cooperative learning was the instructional strategy implemented and coaching was used to help teachers internalize the instructional change. The study revealed that, besides the problems that could occur with the implementation of any new instructional strategy, there are obstacles to the implementation of cooperative learning that are peculiar to the strategy itself because they come in conflict with teachers' beliefs, values and attitudes about teaching and learning. It is argued that unless researchers attend to such beliefs and the educational practices that are shaped by them, they will be stymied in their attempts to implement cooperative learning. The study further reveals coaching as probably the most critical support process required for teachers to internalize instructional change, that expert coaching may be necessary during implementation and that considerable infrastructural modifications are necessary to embed peer coaching in the school culture. Positive changes were noted by teachers and students alike in such things as the students' understanding of subject matter, interpersonal relationships and students' self-esteem and self-confidence.

تری نظر میں رہوں، باوقار ہو جائوں

تری نظر میں رہوں، با وقار ہو جائوں
قسم خدا کی میں رشک بہار ہو جائوں

فدا میں جان کروں تیرے ہر اشارے پر
تری رضا پہ میں ایسے نثار ہو جائوں

فنا مَیں ہو کے تری ذات میں، اے جانِ جاں!
میں کیوں نہ باقی رہوں پائیدار ہو جائوں

ہے میرے پاس یہ نسخہ قرارِ دل کے لیے
کسی کو یاد کروں بے قرار ہو جائوں

مجھے یہ خوف ہے تائبؔ کہ درد ہے جتنا
چھلک پڑوں نہ کہیں زار زار ہو جائوں

ختم نبوت تورات و انجیل کى تعلیمات کى روشنى میں

Seal of Prophet-hood (Khatam-e-Nabuwat) is one of the critical issues which Islam has particularly emphasized to such a degree that a person cannot enter in the fold of Islam or may remain a Muslim without it. People, who believed in Torah & Gospel also believed that a prophet of mercy will descend with clear signs of prophet-hood. He will lead the world and guide them to the righteous path and will disclose the changes in Gospel. They also believed that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) will reveal the prophet-hood of Jesus and confirm that Jesus is a man of Allah with bestowed miracles. The world knows that the complete code of life after Moses was given only to the last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The prophet-hood has been sealed with Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) is proven from Holy Quran as well as from Torah & Gospel. Torah & Gospel openly declare the prophet-hood of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) as “The Stone of Corner”. So the Holy Prophet (PBUH) himself announced the seal of his prophet-hood which none of the prophets of Bani Israel claimed in their lives. The prophet Jesus (A.S) also made efforts to clarify this point in front of his followers through several parables. These parables openly depict the authenticity of Islam and Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) being the seal of prophets. This article provides information regarding predictions about Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) as the last and final of the prophets of Allah Almighty, through Old & New Testaments as justified by Holy Quran. It also explains the status and value of the belief of “Finality of Prophet-hood” according to the Islamic teachings.

Degradation of Industrial Organic Compound - Rb 19

DEGRADATION OF INDUSTRIAL ORGANIC COMPOUND - RB 19 Reactive dyes are the largest group of dyes used in textile industry and difficult to eliminate by conventional wastewater treatment plants. Different kinds of physico- chemical processes are being used for the degradation of reactive dyes. These techniques were used to decolorize and degrade dyes. Unfortunately, most of them were frequently plagued mainly due to process inefficiencies and persistence in nature. The textile effluent containing reactive dyes are potentially toxic and mutagenic compounds. Therefore, in the present study different techniques for dye degradation and decolouration were studied. The techniques used were electrochemical, sono- electrochemical, thermal pressure hydrolysis, photocatalysis, and sono-photocatalysis. In each method, effects of different operational parameters were investigated on dye degradation. The results demonstrated that sonoelectrochemical degradation was three times more effective than the individual effects of ultrasonic and electrochemical treatment. In hydrolysis process it has been found that hydrolysis of RB 19 was enhanced at high temperature (120̊C) and pressure (2 atm) as compared to normal conditions of temperature and pressure. Further enhancement in dye degradation was observed when optimum amount of hydrogen peroxide oxidant was used at high temperature and pressure. In sonophotocatalysis process the rate of RB 19 degradation under UV light and TiO 2 catalyst was found to be maximum under acidic conditions with 300 mgL -1 TiO 2 and 100 mgL -1 dye concentration. The further increase in the degradation of RB 19 was achieved by combing photocatalysis and ultrasonic process. The dye degradation mechanism for different techniques resulted in the formation of small molecular weight products e.g. acetic acid, benzoic acid, oxalic acid, etc. All these techniques were found to follow first order reaction with successful reduction in half life. It is concluded that sonoelectrochemical degradation technique was found to be more efficient as compared to other treatment techniques in term of dye decolorization, degradation, reduction of TOC, half life and electrical energy consumption.
