This study highlights the fact that practical work in science teaching needs radical changes, if we want our students to become problem solver' scientists. WHAT I SET OUT TO DO I introduced the skills of hypothesizing, planning the experiment and inferring, in the conduct of practical work, in a government school. The time I had was 28 days. WHAT I DID I worked 4 days a week, during which I conducted interviews before and after the introduction of the new approach. In my sample were 2 teachers and 5 students. Initially the teachers planned the lesson with me, and then they brought it to action in the science classroom. WHAT I FOUND OUT It was found that presently the emphasis was on rote learning. Students blindly followed the procedure directed by the teacher. All the instruction and even conclusions were determined before. Also found was the fact that the new strategy of hypothesizing, planning the experiment and inferring which I introduced in my study, provides opportunities for the students to think and reflect upon their work. This would aid their cognitive development and help them to become real problem solving scientists. Also studied in this dissertation were the various constraints such as time and resources. The effect of the present examination system which promotes rote learning has also been discussed.

نسیم سخن اور صاحبِ کتاب

’’نسیم سخن‘‘ اور صاحبِ کتاب
حافظ محمد اکرم راشدؔ سے میرے دیرینہ اور دیر پا تعلقات ہیں ، یہ ایک علمی خاندان سے تعلق رکھتے ہیں۔ اِن کے بزرگوں کے دینِ اسلام کے میدان میں لگائے ہوئے شجر سایہ دار مسحور کن ماحول پیش کر رہے ہیں اور تشنگانِ علم کی پیاس بجھانے کے لیے دورانِ سفر طلباء کے راستے میں آنے والی جہالت اور کم علمی کی تپش اور دھوپ کو رفع کرنے میں مثالی کردار ادا کر رہے ہیں ۔ میں نے صرف کتاب اور صاحبِ کتاب کے بارے میں چند سطور ضبط تحریر میں لانے کے لیے اپنے قلم کو اذنِ خرام دینا ہے ۔موصوف قلم کے میدان کے شاہسوار ہیں ، ندائے حق کی ادارت ہو، منظور العارفین کی تدوین ہو ، یا منظورالعارفین ٹرسٹ کا قیام ہو، موصوف پیش پیش نظر آتے ہیں ،آپ ہمارے ادارے منظور العارفین ٹرسٹ کے ساتھ قلب و اذہان کی جملہ قویٰ کے ساتھ وابستہ رہے ہیں ۔ مُرور ایّام کے ساتھ پیرانہ سالی اور ضعف کا شکار ہو کر کچھ عرصہ سے گوشہ نشین ہیں تاہم تحریر سے عشق کی حد تک لگائو کی بنا پر کوئی نہ کوئی شاہ پارہ تخلیق کرتے رہتے ہیں ۔ آپ کالم نویس ہونے کے ساتھ ساتھ ایک عظیم خوش نویس بھی ہیں عارفوالااور اس کے مضافات میں خطاطی کے حوالے سے ان کا ایک نام ہے ۔ دنیوی اور دینی تعلیم کے امتزاج کے حامل ہیں اور اپنی ایک شناخت رکھتے ہیں ۔ سرکاری ادارہ میں رئیس مدرسہ کے فرائض سر انجام دے چکے ہیں ۔
مذہبی خدمات کے حوالے سے اِن کی خدمات مہر نیم روز کی طرح واضح ہیں ۔ مرکزی جامع مسجد -N بلاک عارفوالا کی امامت اور خطابت کے فرائض بحسن و خوبی سر انجام دے رہے ہیں۔صاحب ورع اور تقویٰ ہونا اِن کی...

Twelve Tips for Enhancing Student Learning Experience in the Operating Room

Student learning within the Operating Room (OR) is complex and challenging, especially for medical students who heavily rely upon structured learning plans. Medical students’ OR-based surgical learning experience is heterogenous, unstandardized, and inadequate for many reasons. There is a growing need to evaluate the learning modalities and models that we currently use for medical graduates’ OR-based learning process, create a balance between structured and opportunistic learning encounters and incorporate previously identified factors that have been known to influence the quality of OR-based learning positively. In continuation with our previous work on OR-based learning, here we argue for a structured OR-based learning plan that embodies appropriate learning models and teaching methodologies and focuses on a comprehensive plan that justifies a local needs analysis and addresses factors influencing the quality of OR-based student learning to produce enhanced learning outcomes.

Epidemiological and Serum Lipid Analysis of Hepatitis B, C and Cirrhosis Patients in Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) exerts an intense impact on patient’s lipid metabolism. Hence the aim of present study is to determine metabolic derangement that occurs in subjects suffering from hepatitis B, C and cirrhosis. The fasting blood samples were collected from hepatitis B (n=50), C (n=50) and cirrhosis patients (HBV-cirrhosis n=30 and HCV-cirrhosis n=50) along with age and gender matched controls. After separating serum, lipid profile was analyzed by micro-lab 300 and fatty acids (FAs) composition was examined by gas chromatography. Fatty acids were further confirmed by gas GC-MS technique. The epidemiological risk factors for transmission of HBV, HCV and cirrhosis were measured through standard questionnaire specially designed for that purpose. The demographic factors, mainly positive family history, dental treatment, blood transfusion and shaving from barber shop are significant contributing factors in spread of HBV, HCV, and cirrhosis infection. Hypolipidemia in HBV and HCV patients is possibly due to alter liver function. Lipogenesis is elevated in HCV and HBV patients as evident from reduced serum PUFA and elevated SFA as well as MUFA levels. Hence, it proposes the importance of PUFA supplementation and it may provide synergistic antiviral effects when given as a food supplement during the INF based anti - HCV therapy. The lower level of lipid profile (TAG, cholesterol, LDL–C, HDL–C, VLDL–C and total lipids) indicating hypolipidemia in HBV-cirrhosis and HCVcirrhosis patients specify the nonfunctioning of liver. The increased lipogenesis (increased level of SFA) and reduced PUFA levels may be due to altering desaturases activities, impaired PUFA metabolism and non-enzymatic oxidation is associated with progression of HBV-cirrhosis/ HCV-cirrhosis diseases in patients and promote the hepatic lipotoxicity. In conclusion, the hepatitis B and C viruses alter the total cholesterol and FA metabolic pathways. Therefore, the present study provides the information about the changes associated with lipid metabolism and significant upregulation, which might be used as a biomarker for hepatitis B, C and cirrhosis diseases.
