This study was conducted in one of the government secondary schools in Karachi. The purposes of this study were; a) to find out the existing teaching practice of social studies and its implications for learning in government secondary school; b) to explore the possibility of introducing cooperative learning as an alternate instructional approach in teaching social studies; and c) to understand the challenges which teachers face while introducing cooperative learning in social studies classrooms in government school. The study was divided into three parts. The first part dealt with an analysis of the existing practice of teaching of social studies. The second part focused on the introducing cooperative learning in the social studies classroom. The third part has related to identifying the potential constrains that affected the implementation of cooperative learning. An effort was also made to identify possibilities and constrains related to the implementation of cooperative learning in the government school. The findings of study suggest that the teachers found cooperative learning helpful in developing students' higher order thinking and social skills. The students were also able to work effectively in groups in order to share their ideas which served as a source of peer learning. This study further suggests that teachers need an adequate orientation in cooperative learning and strong school management support in order to introduce cooperative learning effectively in the government school.

مراتب اختر کا ادبی مقام و مرتبہ(نامور ادیبوں اور دانشور وں کی نظر میں)

مراتب اخترکا ادبی مقام و مرتبہ

نامور ادیبوں اوردانشوروںکی نظر میں

 

                مراتب اختر کا شمار اُن شعرا میں ہوتا ہے جنھوں نے جدید شاعری میں ایک نئے رجحان کو متعارف کروایا اور اُن کے اس فن کی تمام ناقدین قدر کرتے ہیں۔مراتب اختر کی شاعری کے رکھ رکھائو اور ڈِکشن کے حوالے سے معروف نقاد افتخارجالب لکھتے ہیں:

مراتب اختر نے جو شاعری کی ہے اس میں رکھ رکھائو، ڈِکشن کی ملائمت، نفاست اور مروّجہ شعریت نہیں ہے۔ سب کچھ اُکھڑا اُکھڑا دکھائی دیتا ہے۔ یہ خرابیاں کہ اِمکان سے نابلداندھے، اور بے مغز لوگوں کو گراں گزرتی ہیں، درحقیقت مراتب اختر کی خالص خوبیاں ہیں۔ ان خوبیوں سے مستفید وہی ہو سکتا ہے جو شعر کی منزہ صورت کو پہچان سکتا ہو۔اِمکان کے اِمکانات تک جن کی رسائی نہیں ان کے لیے مراتب اخترکی شاعری کوئی لذت اورمعنی نہیں رکھتی۔اس شاعری کے لیے کہ اِمکان کے اِمکانات پرایمان کو پہلی شرط قرار دیتی ہے، زندہ اور تواناہونے کے ساتھ ساتھ شعر کو ڈِکشن کی موجودگی اور عدم موجودگی دونوں صورتوں میں پہچاننے کی صلاحیت ہونی چاہیے۔

                مراتب اختر کی شاعری درحقیقت یہ تقاضا کرتی ہے کہ آپ بھی مراتب اختر ہوں۔ آپ کے اور اس کے اِمکانات یکساں نہیں تو مماثل ضرور ہوں تاکہ آپ یہ جان سکیں کہ کتنے ہی اِمکانات ہیں:حقیقت میں تبدیل ہوتے ہوئے، نئے اِمکانات کو ضم دیتے ہوئے:رائج الوقتی سے بے نیاز، نامراد و کامگار! کیا آپ اس تقاضے پر پورے اُترتے ہیں؟ اگر نہیں، تو نہیں، کبھی بھی نہیں، مگر نہیں شاید!(۱)

فیملی بزنس میں'' ابہام'' سے پیدا ہونے والے مسائل کا شرعی و تحقیقی جائزہ

ABSTRACTFamily Business is a very important form of business in this era and especially because of this it merely does not matter the business, but more sensitivity is of close relatives and relationships. That is why it has many administrative, Shariah and ethical complications. That is why, this theme has been created as a field of discussion and research. If the issues of Family Business are reviewed, their root is to leave the matters undefined, uncleared and undocumented. Then the solution to all these issues is to overcome their ‘Unclarity’ found in different aspects. To finish the matter, we should clear and correct for example ‘business status’ between father and sons, uncle and nephew or a few brothers. Similarly, in case of death of elders, the inheritance is to be determined. Then that all the matters should be written in a very brief manner and arranged. It is also possible to calculate the income and expenditure account. It is not appropriate that every partner should spend without any speculation. Then one time it becomes difficult to face each other. In this article, we have tried to review all the dimensions where there may be more problems due to ‘unclearity’ in mutual business dealings. In this context, the first business status of family members has been explained. Then mentioned the problems raised after the death of the family leader. Later on, more aspects of the problem are presented by presenting some other observation examples on this subject.

Effect of Organic and Inorganic K Sources and System of Rice Intensification on Growth and Yield of Genotypically Varying Rice Cultivars

A series of trials, including hydroponics and soil experiments, were conducted to document the phenotypic variation among rice genotypes and the response of selected genotypes to inorganic and/ or organic sources of K under standard rice management (SRM) and system of rice intensification (SRI). In a solution culture study, changes in growth attributes under both deficient and adequate K levels indicated differential adaptation of 26 rice genotypes. Three of 26 genotypes, namely, IR-6, Super basmati and 99509, were selected for subsequent studies on the basis of their differential responses for K use efficiency (KUE), shoot biomass, and K uptake at deficient and adequate K levels. The categorization of rice genotypes was made using the index scoring technique. Accordingly, 99509 was categorized as highly efficient-medium responsive, Super basmati as medium efficient-medium responsive, while IR-6 as low efficient-low responsive. Correlation among various growth parameters was calculated, and a strong correlation was found among shoot biomass, KUE, and total K uptake. The growth and yield responses of these selected genotypes were subsequently studied with exogenously applied K (K 2 SO 4 ) in pot trials. On overall basis, the KUE determined the responses of various growth and yield parameters against varying levels of K application. Again, the order of genotypes with respect to KUE was found to be the same as that observed in the hydroponic study, i.e., 99509 was found to be highly efficient, Super basmati was medium efficient, and IR-6 was non-efficient in term of growth and yield attribute formation. A dose of 60 kg K ha -1 was found optimum for increasing most of the growth and yield attributes of the three rice genotypes, which was very close to that calculated amounts obtained using the quadratic model. Keeping in view the cumulative effects, a dose of 60 kg K ha -1 was selected for subsequent field trials. Thereafter, the genotypes were tested under the conventional SRM (continuously flooded) and SRI (intermittently flooded) systems. The growth, yield and quality of the three genotypes were studied under single and integrated use of inorganic and organic K fertilizer. Most of the growth and yield attributes gave maximum response with integrated application of 30 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 30 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost under SRM, while 15 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 15 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost proved best under SRI. Super basmati gave the maximum grain yield under SRM, while under SRI 99509 was best, both with integrated application of 15 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 15 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost. However, maximum straw yield was produced by 99509 with integrated application 1of 15 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 15 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost under SRM, while integrated application of 30 kg K ha -1 as K 2 SO 4 + 30 kg K ha -1 as K-enriched compost resulted in maximum straw yield in Super basmati under SRI. IR-6 remained relatively poor in performance in most of the growth and yield parameters. It was note worthy that the genotype 99509, which was rated highly efficient in K use in hydroponic trial changed its response as medium efficient in K use in field trials (both in SRI and SRM), while exactly reverse trend with respect to KUE was observed in case of Super basmati. IR-6 remained relatively poor in growth, yield and KUE under both the systems of management. Total K uptake and KUE of the genotypes varied with K doses and sources under SRM and SRI, affecting the growth and yield parameters of the three rice genotypes tested. Most of the quality parameters under SRI and SRM gave almost similar values, implying that SRI had no negative effect on yield and quality of both coarse and fine varieties of rice. Moreover, SRI was seen to be a viable approach to save water without compromising the yield and quality of the produce, thus it may be adopted as a low-input technology system.
