This small-scale action research project explores the possibilities and challenges involved in facilitating a Mathematics Teacher in understanding the notion and practice of linking mathematics with students' real lives in their classroom contexts. The effort is based on the rationale that mathematics needs to be linked with real life in order to maximize the attainment of set curricular goals and objectives. However, the assumption is that in most cases the curricular goals and objectives are not satisfactorily met due to the teachers: a) limited access and understanding of curricular goals and objectives, and b) limited knowledge and expertise in effective implementation of the linking mathematics with students real lives. In this background, the project sees, linking mathematics with real life, as one of the important ways in assuring the attainment of goals and objectives of linking mathematics with students' real life experiences. To realize this aim, the action researcher worked with one secondary level secondary level mathematics teacher in a government school of Karachi, Pakistan. In this regard, the project studies the teachers existing perceptions and practice of linking mathematics with students' real lives. Subsequently, a strategic action plan was prepared and implemented to facilitate a teacher's understanding and practice of linking mathematics with real life. Subsequent planning and action remained responsive to any need for change arising out of the experiences of implementing the previous one. The data for the action process was collected through semi-structured interviews, lesson observations notes, the researcher's reflective journal and tape recordings. The gathered data was analyzed soon after each action step for reflection and further action. The study reports some possible strategies to facilitate a teacher in gaining an understanding about the notion of linking mathematics with real life. These are: 1) Using "input/training" session about "definition and theory" of linking mathematics with real life. 2) Sharing strategies for content, pedagogical and organizational linkage (i.e. mathematics with real life). For example, adding supplementary reading materials from sources other than the prescribed textbooks. At the same time and vein, the study also reports the challenges faced in the process; such as: time availability for action and its research and overemphasis on the theoretical input. The report concludes by presenting key learnings experienced as a teacher educator and an action researcher, and suggests a focus for further action research.

سی حرفی: ہجر فراق سوہنے یار دے وچ

سی حرفی
(ہجر فراق سوہنے یار دے وچ)
الف
اﷲ نوں یاد کریوے، جس ایہہ جگت اوپایا ای
چن سورج دے دور نرالے، ہر جا ہکو سایا ای
رنگ برنگی خلق بنائی، کجھ شمار نہ آیا ای
ہوئی حنیف خلائق پیدا، ’’کُن‘‘ جاں رب فرمایا ای

ب
بندوق چلا غماں دی، آپ گیوں کتھ جائی اوئے
نین وکھا نشیلے، کجلے، اگ برہوں دی لائی اوئے
مار وچھوڑا ذبح کریندا، درداں چھری وگائی اوئے
باہجھ تیرے دل جانی، لگے دنیا سب پرائی اوئے

ت
تہمت جے پیار تیرے دی، اوندی سر تے چاندا میں
پیار تیرے وچ کر قربانی، جندڑیگھول گھماندا میں
کجھ وساہ ہوندا جے تیرا، دل دے زخم وکھاندا میں
یار حنیف جے مخلص ہوندا، لا کے کیوں پچھتاندا میں

ث
ثواب کمائیے نیکی، شہر مدینے جائیے جی
پڑھیے نعت نبیؐ سرور دی، پاک درود پہنچائیے جی
روضہ پاک محمدؐ والا چل کے درشن پائیے جی
آکھ حنیف نبیؐ دے صدقے چل گناہ بخشائیے جی

ج
جگاں تے جیوے سوہنا، سوہنیاں شاناں والا نی
صورت دے وچ ہے لاثانی، دنیا کنوں نرالا نی
دکھ تکلیف نہ آوس تتی وا نہ لگس شالا نی
نام حنیف لے جیواں اس دا، پیار دی جپ کے مالا نی

ح
حرص دی دنیا ظالم، آخر ہونا فانی ایں
دنیا دولت پچھے نسے، خلقت ہوئی دیوانی ایں
اس دنیا وچ دل لا رکھنا، ویکھو کیڈ نادانی ایں
میت حنیف نہ قدراں پایاں، رُہڑ گئی جند نمانی ایں

خ
خادم، باندی، سکدی رہندی، پلکاں فرش وچھائیاں نی
بدھے ہتھ کریندی عرضاں، یار کیوں دیراں لائیاں نی
بھارے بھار برہوں دے چائے، آئیاں پیش جدائیاں نی
دے دیدار حنیف پیارے، موت نے پھیریاں پائیاں نی

نقض امن میں ‘‘ف’’ سے شروع ہونے والے سات عوامل کا کردار

According to the certain teachings of al-Qur’ān mentioned at four different places (4: 1, 6: 98, 7: 189 and 39: 6), all humans have their origin in a single cell or soul. One of the objectives behind these proclamations is perhaps to ensure that the unity of humanity at large and of the Muslims in particular, is never to be compromised and that the differences existing among them are to be resolved through a process of mutual understanding on the basis of the notions derived from the al-Qur’ān (2: 213) and Sunnah. AlQur’ān and Sunnah acknowledge the human diversity, rather, describe it as a functional aspect of existence, but not as structural. Referring to the Quranic verse 5: 48, Allah would have made humanity a single people, but, His plan is to test them in whatever He has given to them, so they should emulate for virtues. The present article is an attempt to shortly describe the role of the seven crucial factors in disruption of peace, all starting with the Arabic alphabet fā, i. E., Fitnah, the false Fatāwā, Fujūr, Fakhr, Furqah, Fisq and Fasād, with the purpose of developing an overall religious harmony for strengthening the inner and the outer peace. These seven factors play significant role in disturbing the stability of society. The Islamic injunctions also stress that these factors should be avoided in order to live a righteous and peaceful life.

Physical Chemical and Biological Treatment of Rice Husk to Improve its Untritive Value

Pakistan is mainly an agriculture country. Livestock is an integral part of the Agricultural economy unfortunately Livestock in Pakistan is producing for below its full potential. The main reason this poor performance is the shortage of fodder quantitatively and qualitative. Therefore, to overcome the shortage of green fodder, we have to export the conventional and nonconventional sources of feed. Pakistan is one of the major producer of rice in Asia, that’s shy rice husk which is a by-product of rice threshing process in frequently and cheaply available. In this study we study this underutilized source, by applying various treatments, evaluating their impact on husk topology and itsimpart on husk topology and its impact on ruminant feeding. In the first two experiments, the rice husk was subjected to acid, alkali, and water treatment at various temperature and concentration, we found a significant effect of temperature on rice husk (P>0.001). Whereas concentration in case of alkali treatment produced significant results (P?0.001). Topology of rice husk 4 bond specific bond vibrations was studied with the help of FT/IR and scanning electron microscopy. Electron micrographs showed swelling and even cracking of the epidermises. FT/IR results demonstrate a change in the absorbance in the polysaccharide bonding region. The third experiments deals with the enhancement of nutritive value of rice husk by SSF using Pleurotusflonda. Experiment shows significant increase in the CP and decrease in the total lignin content (P> 0001. Finally in the fourth experiment a ration having 20% differently procured husk were feeded to the small ruminant (Lohi Sheep) and the an average weekly weight gain comparable feed intake and FCR were found comparable with control. The data was analyzed using Mintab version 20:01. It is concluded that improving the quality of certain under utilized agricultural residue can minimize the feed gap in Pakistan. Rice husk is a valuable and acceptable source of fed for ruminant and there is need to educate the small farmer to break this myth.
