This thesis attempts to identify the role of supervisors in policy implementation at the school level in government education system in Karachi, Pakistan. Policies and decisions are made in the center and supervisors carry them out to schools to implement and ensure enactment. Also, they report and inform the center about the realities in schools. Being one of the developing countries, we assume that policies are made but not implemented. Policy implementation, in short, is cumbersome in the education system because of the continuous changing scene of education. So, this research explores different channels through which the policies and decisions are communicated to supervisors and by supervisors to teachers. Also, it discusses the channels used by supervisors to report back to their superiors. This will tell us about the processes of policy implementation and about the successes and reasons of failure of policy implementation. Within the qualitative research paradigm an exploratory case study approach was used to carry out this study. Semi-structured interview guide, observation and document analysis as tools were used for data collection. The supervisory system is based on inspecting and controlling teachers through supervisors in the public education system in primary schools in Karachi. They visit schools and usually check school buildings, teachers' attendance, students' enrolment, and the teaching and learning process to find out deficiencies in teachers and head teachers, rather to support them in bringing a positive change. Moreover, the findings of the study reveal that some supervisors lack an understanding of policies, do not participate in making policies, nor consider themselves as policy implementers. In the light of findings, it is explored that there are no legal codes or set of regulations about their functions and duties, but they work in the way they have observed their seniors. Therefore, they work as they find suitable for them. The synthesis helps us to analytically view the processes, challenges and hindrances in implementing policies by supervisors. The discussions also describe the ways of communication in the public education system and the ways supervisors report back to higher authorities. Finally, I conclude the discussion by offering some recommendations for improvement in making and implementing policies.

الحاج منظور علی لکھنوی

الحاج منظور علی لکھنوی مرحوم
دارالمصنفین میں الحاج منظور علی لکھنوی کی رحلت کی خبر بڑے افسوس کے ساتھ سنی گئی، ۲۸؍ رمضان المبارک کو وہ اپنے خالق حقیقی کے جوار رحمت میں پہنچ گئے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
وہ زندگی میں پاکیزہ اطوار رہے، آخری وقت بھی اس پاکیزگی کی شہادت کے لیے قدرت نے مقرر کردیا، وہ سیاسی رہنما تھے اور نہ عالم و فاضل لیکن ان کی زندگی قطرے سے گہر ہونے کی کہانی ہے، کلکتہ کے ہوٹل بزنس سے تعلق تھا، ان کا رائل انڈین ہوٹل کلکتہ کے مشہور ترین ہوٹلوں میں ہے، تمول کی آغوش میں آنکھیں کھولیں، عام امیر زادوں کا رنگ ڈھنگ ہونا قدرتی تھا، ایک وقت تھا کہ قیمتی پتھروں اور بیش قیمت خوشبوؤں کو جمع کرنے کا شوق تھا لیکن فطرت کی سلامتی اور سرشت کی پاک طینتی نے ایک دن ان کی زندگی کا رخ بدل دیا، ثروت کو اﷲ کی دی ہوئی نعمت سمجھنے اور برتنے کی توفیق، باندازۂ ہمت ملی اور زندگی قابل رشک ہوگئی، دارالعلوم ندوۃالعلما کی مجلس انتظامیہ، مسلم پرسنل لابورڈ، ملی کونسل، امارت شرعیہ جیسے باوقار اداروں کی رکنیت اور سب سے بڑھ کر حجاج کرام کی پیہم خدمت نے ان کو اپنے طبقہ میں امتیاز کا شرف بخشا اور اس سے زیادہ کلکتہ میں ان کی وہ رفاہی خدمات ہیں جن کا علم بہ جزاﷲ اور ان کے انتہائی قریبی لوگوں کے اور کسی کو نہیں معلوم، کمال کے شخص تھے مولانا عبدالماجد دریا بادی کو کبھی نہیں دیکھا لیکن ان کی تحریروں کے ایسے شیدائی ہوئے کہ ان کی کتابوں کی خوبصورت ترین اور نہایت دیدہ زیب طباعت و اشاعت کے لیے بغیر کسی تاجرانہ فائدے کے، اپنے مال کا بے دریغ استعمال کیا، ادارہ انشائے ماجداسی نیت سے قائم کیا جس نے خطبات ماجد سے مکتوبات ماجدی تک مولانا...

Comparison of Doppler Studies in Obstetrics With Fetal Outcome

Purpose: to compare umbilical artery and middle cerebral Doppler ultrasound values in normal and high risk pregnancies with fetal outcome. Method: 121 consecutive pregnancies (at or over 28 weeks gestation), stratified into low and high risk pregnancies based on clinician information were prospectively examined with doppler ultrasound of UA and MCA. Results: outcome was available for 100 of the 121 patients. 26% of pregnancies had poor outcome. Of these 73% (19) and 27% (7) were classified as high risk and low risk respectively. UA alone or in combination with MCA was shown to have 100% specificity for predicting fetal outcome. However, sensitivities and negative predictive values were poor, ranging from 8-21% and 17-35% respectively. Better positive predictive values were registered in MCA in comparison to those of UA (PPV of 44% and 83% in high risk and low risk categories respectively versus PPV of 0% in both UA high and low risk categories respectively). However, MCA specificities were lower at 80% and 85% for high and low risk pregnancies respectively. Conclusion: the combination of UA and MCA doppler ultrasound examinations is very specific in predicting fetal outcome. However, the sensitivities, positive and negative predictive values were low.
