As Pakistan is becoming a more culturally and ethnically diverse nation, public schools, colleges and universities are alongside becoming more diverse as well. According to National Curriculum for Civics (2009), one of the basic aims of the Civic education is to inculcate in students values of peaceful co-existence with all citizens of the country and all countries of the world. Unfortunately, the scenario of Pakistani classrooms, in particular, the Civics Education classroom does not meet the diverse cultural needs of the students. Thus, there is a serious mismatch between the outcomes of curriculum and the planning and implementation of teaching and learning experiences. In order to explore how cultural diversity can be promoted among higher secondary students, a small scale action research was conducted. Two cycles of action research were conducted within the framework of action research in grade XII of a public college of Sindh, Pakistan. The participants of the study were four focused students of grade-XII and subject teacher of Civics. The whole college context was studied to gain understanding of what was going on. The researcher followed the steps of planning, implementation, observation and reflections. Data were gathered through interviews of the participant teacher, classroom observations, documents analysis, field notes and reflective journals. The ongoing analysis continued side by side with data collection. The data reveal that cultural diversity among students from higher secondary public school level can be developed by orienting them to the fundamental concepts of diversity, creating appreciation for unique and positive qualities of oneself, the other and our different cultures, and also discussing the problems that arise due to cultural discrimination. Different pedagogies which involve reflection on and expression of personal and collective experiences and scenarios used for critical thinking can be beneficial for inculcating the above mentioned concepts and attitudes in students. Based on the findings some implications and recommendations are put forward in the concluding chapter.

آئی کیڈی اے پھلاں سی بہار ایدکیں

آئی کیڈی اے پھلاں دی بہار ایدکیں

دے جاویں جے آکے دیدار ایدکیں
پڑی تے شفا والی دینی پونی ایں

بوہے ترے ڈگے نیں بیمار ایدکیں
ساری میں حیاتی تینوں سینے تے کھیڈایا اے

چائے نہیں جاندے میتھوں بھار ایدکیں
دکھاں دی اوہ پنڈ پوندھی چائی واندے نیں

اینویں نہ بے دوسیاں نوں مار ایدکیں
دنیا نوں رج تے ہنیر آگیا اے

بہل نہیں چوندے پئے کبھار ایدکیں
رکشیاں سکوٹراں نے جان کڈھ لئی

گھوڑے تے نہیں دِسدے سوار ایدکیں
سد کے عاشقاں نوں ، بیٹھکے بہایا کر

راہواں وچہ اینویں نہ کھلار ایدکیں
چاہن والے تینوں ہُن سارے چھڈ گئے نیں

رہ گئے نے ویکھ لے دو چار ایدکیں
ساقی بڑا نشہ توں صراحی وچ پایا اے

مست ہوئے پھردے میخوار ایدکیں
میزائلاں اتے ایٹماں دی جنگ ہُن لگسی

اونی نہیں کم تلوار ایدکیں
چڑھدی جوانی تک شمع والی عاشقاں

ہوئے نے پتنگے کئی نثار ایدکیں
اگے وی گلاباں نال مکھڑا سجاویں توں

سُرمے دی وکھری اے دھار ایدکیں
سب کرتوت ہُن سامنے پئے اوندے نے

قوم نے ہو جانا ایں بیدار ایدکیں

ہک دھی رانی دی فریاد
بولے جدوں بنیرے کاں

میں سمجھ جاندی ہاں
گل ہے ضرور اولی

تاہیوں کردا اے کاں کاں
کائی دس پیغام خوشی دا

مینوں درداں ماریا تھاں
میں کٹھی وچ ہجر دے

میری نکلی جاندی جاں
میرے سینے پھٹ انوکھا

کر سکدی نہیں عیاں
میری سن فریاد اے امبڑی

جے توں ہیں میری ماں
نہیں سُجھدے ریشم گوٹے

The Status of Medical Manuscripts by Muslim Scientists at Islamia College Peshawar Library

The subject of Medical Science was the central part in the history of Muslim culture. The muslim scientists have produced extensive medical literature. This treasure of knowledge has been preserved in different public and private institutions throughout Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly on Peshawar University Campus libraries. One among them is Islamia College Peshawar Library, which contains some of the rare medical manuscripts.  This paper will highlight the current status of these manuscripts present in Islamia College Library Peshawar. The paper will also reveal the metadata of these manuscripts.

Functional Carbon Materials Derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks Mofs for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Coversion

World electricity demand is estimated to double by the mid-century and to triple by the end of the century, even after efficient conservation technology development. Fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil, the major contributors to global electricity generation, are anticipated to peak-over in the following few decades. The generation of electrical energy from renewable resources instead of from fossil fuels has received great interest due to the resource limitations and environmental impacts of the latter. Renewables such as solar radiation and wind face significant challenges of time-dependent intensity fluctuation and natural geographical distribution. Among the different strategies for smoothing the disordered renewables, the electrical energy storage and conversion has been recognized the most efficient and effective approach. Energy storage in the form of charges include supercapacitors and battery technologies, the former is very effective in terms of power density while the latter is the best option in terms of energy density. Energy conversion devices include fuel cells, which can generate electricity from chemical fuels with large efficiency and zero pollutant emission and are very suitable for use in vehicle engines and portable electronics. In the first part of this research work, different MOFs precursors, namely MOF-5, Zn-BTC, MOF-199, MIL-101(Cr) and ZIF-12 are converted to pure carbon, and metal oxide decorated carbon structures by the inert-atmosphere template carbonization approach. MOF-derived carbon nanospheres and microporous carbons have delivered specific capacitance in the range of 150 to 350 F g–1, the optimum performance of the designed electrode materials in comparison to the literature. In long-term cycling performance, the copper oxide decorated graphitic carbons and the chromium oxide decorated turbostratic graphitic carbons retained about 95% of their initial capacitance. The novel innovative hybrid composite of cobalt oxide embedded N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from single-step calcination of ZIF-12 has shown an excellent lithium charge/discharge and storage, retaining ~95% capacity after 50 cycles and a reversible capacity of ~1100 mA h g–1 at a current density of 0.1 A g–1, which far exceeds the performance of conventional lithium ion battery anode materials under similar conditions. In the second part of this research work, platinum group metal-type (PGM-type) catalysts were deposited on MOF-5-derived high-surface area carbon and electrochemically evaluated for the fuel cell cathodic sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The Pt-Ni composition (1:1) exhibited a pronounced positive shift of 90 mV in onset-potential while the Pt-Cu composition (1:1) has delivered an outstanding stability and longevity when evaluated against the commercial Pt/C (20%) catalyst. The significantly improved activity and stability of the catalysts can be attributed to the Pt electron interaction with first-row transition metals and carbon support that prevents the nanoparticles from agglomeration and dissolution as has been proved in X-ray and microscopic analysis.
