The present study investigates the enactment of the mathematics curriculum in class 7 at a government school in Karachi. Using classroom observation, interviews of a teacher and sampled students and analysis of the curriculum document, the textbook and written work of the students, an attempt was made to understand how far the objectives of the elementary mathematics curriculum were being realised. Also, the constraints on the translation of these objectives from theory into practice were explored. The study focused on the curriculum statement', delivery' and enactment' of four lessons on the simplification of algebraic expressions, each followed by a test' question given to a mixed ability sample group from the class. It was discovered that the very generally stated curriculum was differently implemented in the textbook and by the teacher, which produced unnecessary conceptual and terminological confusion. When students received no help from the teacher, they drew upon their prior arithmetic knowledge. Upon probing, it was found that due to situational constraints, the teacher was herself unclear about the symbolic property of algebraic signs and procedures. A proper understanding of and distinction between operational symbols and quantity symbols was missing. Besides, the bilingual terminology, duplication was found to be an important complicating factor. Addressing the teacher's understanding of algebraic concepts can help reduce the gaps between the stated curriculum and the enacted curriculum. The research findings underlie the need for re-sequencing the curriculum objectives and textbook topics.

مولوی حافظ محمود خاں بھوپالی

مولوی حافظ محمود خاں بھوپالی
یہ سطریں زیر تحریر ہی تھیں کہ دارالعلوم تاج المساجد کے استاد مولوی عبدالسبحان صاحب تشریف لائے، ان سے یہ معلوم کر کے سخت صدمہ ہوا کہ مولانا حافظ محمد نعمان خاں کے صاحبزادے اور مولانا حافظ محمد عمران خاں کے بھتیجے حافظ محمود خاں بھوپالی نے ۲۰؍ رمضان لمبارک کو داعیِ اجل کو لبیک کہا وہ ہمارے سابق رفیق مولوی حافظ محمد منصور نعمانی مرحوم کے حقیقی بھائی تھے، پہلے دارالعلوم کے کتب خانہ کے ناظر تھے اب اس کے نائب مہتمم اور ڈاکٹر محمد حسان خاں امیر دارالعلوم کے خاص دست و بازو ہوگئے تھے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائے اور مولانا نعمان صاحب اور دوسرے اعزہ کو صبر جمیل عطا کرے۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی، فروری ۱۹۹۸ء)

 

Pengaruh Reputasi Underwriter, Financial Leverage, Profitabilitas dan Ukuran Perusahaan terhadap Underpricing Saham IPO di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) Periode 2022

The aim of this research is to determine the influence of underwriter reputation, financial leverage, profitability and company size on the underpricing of IPO shares on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) for the period 2022. This research is quantitative research that uses secondary data. The population in this study was 59 companies that will IPO in 2022. The total sample was 46 companies using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis uses time series data regression with the help of SPSS 25. The research results show that the underwriter's reputation influences share underpricing with a significant value of 0.046 < 0.05. Financial leverage influences stock underpricing with a significant value of 0.049 <0.05. Profitability influences stock underpricing with a significant value of 0.003 < 0.05. Company size has no effect on stock underpricing with a significant value of 0.913 > 0.05.

Multiuser Communication Techniques Based on Ofdm

This thesis deals with the development of a sophisticated multiple access communication technique, Multicarrier Interleave Division Multiple Access (MC-IDMA) and improve- ments in Orthogonal Frequency Division Mulltiplexing-Space Division Multiple Access (OFDM-SDMA) for uplink transmissions. Although different in names both theses tech- niques endeavour to describe a wide range of upcoming communication algorithms and to incorporate three key features that will be common to the next generation communication systems: multiple access capability, resistance to multipath fading and high bandwidth efficiency. The performance of the both systems is demonstrated in the presence of channel impairments. OFDM is almost completely immune to multipath fading effects and IDMA has mul- tiuser capability. MC-IDMA attempts to combine these features, so that we can have Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) free higher data rates for multiple users simultaneously. MC-IDMA uses chip level interleavers as the only means of user separation and de- votes the entire bandwidth expansion to low rate Forward Error Correcting codes (FEC) which provide additional coding gain not present in conventional Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) or Multicarrier-Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) systems. An iterative Chip-by-Chip (CBC) multiuser detection algorithm is exploited to sup- press the channel fading and Multiple Access Interference (MAI). To further improve the performance, adaptive subchannel algorithm is used to transmit information only on good conditioned subchannels. To support high order modulations, Multicode MC- IDMA is proposed which can enhance the data rate at the expense of slightly higher power to achieve the same BER. A simplification in a channel estimation algorithm for MC-IDMA system is suggested and the concept of pilot chips is introduced which is a feasible approach because MC-IDMA systems use chip level interleavers and CBC de- tection algorithm. A noval channel estimation algorithm is presented which reduces the joint estimation into several single user estimation problems and increases throughput drastically saving a lot of transmission overhead. The complexity is analyzed and Bit viiError Rate (BER) is computed to depict the performance of MC-IDMA system. The re- sults show that the MC-IDMA system outperforms the conventional MC-CDMA system by supporting a large number of users with enhanced bit error rate performance. Next, a multiple antenna aided, Minimum Bit Error Rate (MBER) based Bell Lab- oratories Layered Space Time (MBER-BLAST) algorithm for OFDM-SDMA communi- cation is presented which overcomes the limitations of detectors when the number of users exceed the number of receiver antennas. A Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed for finding the optimum weight vectors for MBER Multiuser De- tector (MUD). PSO is well suited for physically realizable, real-time applications, where low complexity and fast convergence is of absolute importance. Maximum Likelihood (ML) detection algorithm is optimal but it uses exhaustive search and is prohibitively complex. The proposed algorithm outperforms the MBER detector and is capable of achieving performance similar to that attained by ML detector at a significantly lower complexity especially under high user loads. Results show that OFDM-SDMA when used with proposed algorithms promise substantially improved performance and can support throughputs as high as 11 bits/per chip at a BER of 10 −4 . It supports a large number of users by exploiting the capacity advantages of multiple antenna systems in rich scattering environments and offers a good performance-complexity trade-off.
