Environmental Education (EE) has become an important component of the world's engagements in the industrial era. Without environmental awareness, individuals and communities may not realize the negative impact of their activities on the environment; that may become a future environmental challenge. School is a place where individuals are trained to cope with the challenges in their future. The school in which environment related activities are practiced, is called Green School'. The term Green School' is very broad, and under this concept a school seeks to provide EE to all the stakeholders. An ordinary school can be changed into a Green School, giving the concept of EE and introducing different hands-on activities that are tailored to the potentials of different stakeholders such as students, teachers and parents in schools. In order to transform an ordinary school into a Green School, I launched a Green School project in a school run by an NGO in Karachi, Pakistan. Designing different activities for the teachers and students, I specifically worked with four teachers of grade 4, and 41 students from grades 6 to 10. The main activities included; a) developing unit plans, infusing EE in the teaching and learning process to enrich the curriculum, and b) further development of the existing Environmental Club of the school by motivating students towards sustainable development of the school environment. One of the prime objectives of the project was to bring about a change in the school community's attitude towards the environment. The outcomes of the project included enrichment of the National Curriculum through designing hands-on activities for students in the school environment. Development of Green Club in school was perceived to be an effective strategy preparing students to cope with environmental challenges in the future. A clear shift in students' attitude was observed which is attributed to the Green Club.

توانائی کے مسائل

توانائی کے مسائل
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 لب کشائی کرنی ہے وہ ہے:’’توانائی کے مسائل ‘‘
چمن میں قحط گُل ہے اور وطن میں لوڈ شیڈنگ ہے
نہ یہ بلبل کا موسم ہے نہ پروانے کا موسم ہے
صدرِذی وقار!
توانائی سے مراد طاقت ہے، اور پوری عالمی تاریخ اس بات کی گواہ ہے کہ کوئی قوم اس وقت تک ترقی کی منازل طے نہیں کرسکتی جب تک وہ اپنے جسم و جاں میں قوت پیدا نہ کرے، کیونکہ حرکت میں برکت ہے اور حرکت کے لیے توانائی کی ضرورت ہے اور کوئی ادنیٰ سے ادنیٰ کام بھی اس وقت تک پایۂ تکمیل کونہیںپہنچ سکتا جب تک اس کے لئے مناسب طاقت اور قوت فراہم نہ کی جائے۔
جنابِ صدر!
توانائی کا مسئلہ ایک بڑا اہم مسئلہ ہے۔ ہمارا ملک دیگر ممالک کی نسبت پسماندہ اور ترقی پذیر کیوں ہے، وہ صرف اور صرف توانائی کے گھمبیر مسئلہ کی بدولت ہی ایسا ہے۔ مختلف برآمدات سے حاصل ہونے والی آمدنی اس کو ترقی یافتہ ممالک کی صف میں کھڑا کرنے کے لیے ناکافی ہے۔
معزز سامعین!
کھیتوں کو کشتِ زعفران بنانے کے لیے ،فضا میں پرواز کرنے کے لئے، اپنے گلی کوچوں کوقمقموں سے روشن کرنے کے لئے ، اجناس کی کامیاب برآمد کے لیے ،فصلوں کو زیادہ اگانے کے لیے، اپنی برآمدات میں اضافہ کیلئے، انسان کا معیارِ زندگی بہتر بنانے کے لیے توانائی کی اشد ضرورت ہے۔
صدرِذی وقار!
اگر ہم کوشش کریں تو توانائی کے مسائل پر قابو پا سکتے ہیں، ہم پن بجلی کا استعمال شروع کر دیں تو ہمارے کئی مسائل حل ہو جائیں گے۔ اور ہمیں سستے داموں بجلی مہیا ہوجائے...

I also have highlighted the Quranic Allusions used by Bullehy Shah in this work. And also analyzing them. In this paper it has been picked this aspect in his poetry that how much his poetry was in flounced by Islamic in junction.

Study of the Testicular Atrophy Induced by Androgenic Anabolic Steroids and its Effect on Histology and Hormonal Level in Albino Rats

This research was undertaken to observe the harmful effect of androgenic anabolic steroids over the male reproductive system. A total of 120 animals were used. The animals were administered injection of androgenic anabolic steroid for short and long periods intramuscularly once a week. The animals were divided in the following groups (A) control / untreated males, (B) treated for short period i.e. acute group, (C) treated for long duration i.e. chronic group, and (D) group left untreated for another 14 weeks to see the withdrawl effects of the drug. The blood was drawn by cardiac puncture, for the estimation of serum concentration of reproductive hormones in male rats, including testosterone, LH, and FSH. Animals were sacrificed and testis were removed for the histological study and scanning electron microscopy, and were analysed statistically. Hormonal analysis revealed significantly decreased level (p<0.001) of FSH, LH and testosterone in acute and chronically treated groups, while the level of these hormones returning towards normal in the withdrawl group. The histological sections of the testis revealed that there is a time related effects over the spermatogenesis, resulting in the decrease in the relative weight of the testis, count and the number of seminiferous tubules along with the decrease in the number and the diameter of the interstitial cell nuclei in the treated animals. These results are further confirmed by performing scanning electron microscopy.2 While looking the effects in the group which has been withdrawn from the drug for another 14 weeks period shown that the animals in this group shown to return of all the parameters back to or near to normal. From these finding it can be said that the androgenic anabolic steroids has dose and time related effects over the male reproductive tissue i.e. the testis. But these effects can be reduced if the drug is withdrawn after confiming that they are produced after the therapy is started. From these findings it can be concluded that androgenic anabolic steroids has toxic effects on the germ cells depending on the time period. However, if the drug is withdrawn than the effects can be reduced. This aspect of the study needs to be further evaluated.
