Teachers beliefs and their implicit theories about their students intelligence, abilities and the ways in which they learn, determines their approach to teaching. Many teachers in Pakistan conceive intelligence as an ability possessed by a few individuals in their classrooms. This notion has lead to teacher's categorisation of their students according to their cognitive abilities. On the other hand, teachers play an active role in transmitting knowledge to the students through passive participation and rote learning. This makes student receivers of knowledge rather than potential users and producers of knowledge. This case study, therefore, explores a teacher's belief about the notion of intelligence and her classroom practices in which the teacher engages. It also studies the implications of these beliefs for her classroom practices. Finding reveals that the teacher had certain beliefs and conceptions about the ability and intelligence of her students and the way they learn. These beliefs have implications for teachers' attitude and behaviour towards different ability groups, their classroom interaction and feedback to their students, the use of pedagogical content knowledge, and their students self-image. The study also reveals that there is a relationship between teacher's beliefs and her practices. This relationship is hindered sometimes by other factors in her workplace. By engaging the teacher in critical reflection on both her beliefs and her practices, the teacher was able to re-conceptualise the implications of her conceptions of intelligence and slightly changed her practices in the classroom. These changed practices brought significant changes in the teachers attitude and students learning which made the teacher re-conceptualise many of her beliefs and conceptions about intelligence.

نوجوانوں کے تعاون سے دہشت گردی کا خاتمہ

نوجوانوں کے تعاون سے دہشت گردی کا خاتمہ
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب شاہینو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرنا ہے وہ ہے:’’نو جوانوں کے تعاون سے دہشت گردی کا خاتمہ‘‘
صدرِذی وقار!
برائی جہاں بھی ہو، گھر کے اندر ہو گھر کے باہر ہو ، بازار میں ہو، تھانہ کچہری میں ہوں جہاں بھی ہو اس کو ختم کرنا، اس کو نیست و نابود کرنا، اس کو صفحہ ہستی سے مٹانا ایک مسلمان کا فرض ہے۔ اور اس کے لئے اس کا خاتمہ جزو لاینفک ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
فرمان رسالت مآب ؐہے کہ تم میں سے جو کوئی برائی دیکھے اسے ہاتھ سے روکے، اگر ہاتھ سے نہ روک سکے تو اسے زبان سے منع کرے اور اگر زبان سے بھی منع نہ کر سکے تو اسے دل میں برا سمجھے ۔ آپ ؐنے ارشاد فر مایا کہ یہ ایمان کا آخری درجہ ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
معاشرے کو سنوارنا، معاشرے کو نکھارنے کے لیے شب وروز ایک کرنا، انتہائی کدو کاوش کرنا، جہد مسلسل سے کام لینا تن، من، دھن کی بازی لگانے کیلئے پیہم جدوجہد کرنا ہم سب کی ذمہ داری ہے۔
درد دل کے واسطے پیدا کیا انسان کو
ورنہ طاعت کے لیے کچھ کم نہ تھے کروبیاں
صدرِذی وقار!
ہر ایک کے لیے بالعموم اور نوجوان کے لیے بالخصوص یہ ناگزیر ہے کہ ہم اس معاشرے اور قوم کے گلستان حیات میں میں اُگنے والے خودرو غیر مفید پودوں کو اپنی خداداد صلاحیت سے نکال باہر پھینکیں، گلستان ہستی میں چلنے والی بادِ نسیم کومتعفن کرنے والی غیراخلاقی بیماریوں کا قلع قمع کریں۔
جنابِ صدر!
ہمارے ملک میں دہشت گردی کا اژدہا خوف و ہراس پھیلارہا ہے، پشاور...

غیر مسلموں کے لیے نئی عبادت گاہ کی تعمیر اور دستورِپاکستان میں مذہبی مساوات کا قانون ایک مختصر آئینی اور قانونی جائزہ

Quranic verses, Ahadith of Holy Prophet PBUH, Traditions of his companions, Ijma’ of thirteen centuries, and present-day religious institutions fatwas declares clearly that the construction of new temples in Islamic countries are prohibited. On the other hand, in modern National states and prevailing Western politics, there is not only permission but also a clear assurance of religious equality. In the Pakistani Constitution, as in other countries, Article 20 guarantees to non-Muslims that they will not be discriminated against on the basis of religion. What is the appropriate solution to this situation in Pakistani law and what are the views of the country's laws and court decisions? Below are the legal details on this.

Pathogenesis of Co-Infection and Tissue Tropism of Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bronchitis Viruses in Broiler Chicken

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) are major cause of economic losses to poultry industry worldwide. Pakistan is endemic for both viruses, and these are causing a serious alarming threat to the poultry producers. The present study was aimed to understand the severity of pathogenesis caused by these viruses either alone or as a co-infection in non-vaccinated and vaccinated broiler chickens upon experimental inoculation. For this purpose, representing different poultry houses (PH) in and around district Lahore, field prevailing viruses were isolated and characterized. The mean death time (MDT) for NDV and embryo infective dose rate (EID50) for both viruses were found to be 49.2 to 56.8 hrs and 10-5.76 and 10-6.03, respectively. After confirmation through biological and molecular assay (RT-PCR), the viruses were propagated independently in nine day-old embryonated eggs and later processed for the estimation of its pathogenicity. In the first experiment, a total of 210 day-old broiler chicks were reared under experimental shed and were divided into six groups of 35 birds each. The birds were challenged with the viruses on day 21 through nasal and ocular route and were monitored for clinical signs of the disease. Tissue samples were taken from the infected birds after 2nd, 4th and 6th day post inoculation (dpi) for histopathology and the virus detection through immunohistochemistry (IHC). Clinically, respiratory signs were more severe in IBV infected birds whereas both respiratory and nervous signs were evident from birds infected with NDV. However, high severity of infection was observed in those birds infected with both NDV and IBV as compare to those birds infected with individual virus at a time. Histopathological examinations showed variable degree of congestion and haemorrhages in the trachea, lungs, proventriculus caecal tonsils and kidneys. These observations were correlated with the presence of viral antigens in the tissues through immunohistochemistry. In the second experiment, the vaccinated birds (LaSota strain for NDV and Massachusetts strain for IBV) were challenged with NDV and IBV strain. Following infection with individual and co-infection of NDV and IBV, respiratory signs including gasping, sneezing and coughing were observed in all virus-infected chickens. At the histopathological examination, mild to moderate pathogenesis of NDV and IBV infection was observed in the collected tissue samples. The gross clinical symptoms and histopathological lesions even in vaccinates indicated that current vaccine strains are not able to protect birds from challenge and that the currently used vaccine provides partial protection upon challenge from the field strains.
