This study aimed to explore the application of information and communication technology (ICT) in school management functions and finding the status of the ICT resources at private secondary schools in Karachi, Pakistan. This research explored the understanding of the school stakeholders (principals, administer, finance officer, IT officer and teachers) that how far ICT has assisted to bring improvements in school management and what strategies used to overcome the challenges encountered by the school stakeholders while attaining school management functions (SMFs). The finding revealed that the private secondary schools has installed numerous ICT resources, and the level of ICT integration was intermediary. ICT has encouraged the administration and finance staff to upgrade the existing data management platforms, as it has eased to acquire, store, retrieve large data in just a few clicks, and bring a major shift in the attainment of school management functions like communication, record keeping and reporting. It has also assisted to enforce security and maintain the discipline of school in the form of security CCTV cameras and electronic attendance systems. However, numerous barriers had huge effect on the job performance of the senior stakeholders and efficiency of school management. School stakeholders were quite proficient, who use different strategies to overcome the challenges, where the development of self-sufficient individuals through capacity building sessions was the ultimate goal of school principals. The strategies used to overcome the challenges were found helpful. Overall, ICTs has revolutionized the working environment of school management and improved its efficiency. It is recommended that school management must ensure barrier-free ICT application and arrangement of professional development workshops to enhance the ICT skills. Finally, this study offers empirical evidences to the schools and suggests ways to implement appropriate strategies to overcome the challenges and help them to ensure barrier-free ICT application in the school management.

آثم فردوسی

آثم فردوسی
آثم فردوسی (۱۹۳۲ئ۔۲۰۰۶ئ) کا اصل نام عبدالحمید تھا۔ آپ سیالکوٹ میں پیدا ہوئے۔ آپ کو بچپن سے شاعری کا شوق تھا۔ آپ نے فارسی اور اردو کے معروف شاعر سید نصیب شاہ کی شاگردی اختیار کی۔ ابتدا میں آپ کی شاعری کا رجحان روایتی شاعری کی طرف تھا ۔بعد میں آپ نے شاعری برائے زندگی نظریے کو سامنے رکھتے ہوئے شاعری کی۔ آپ غزل اور نعت کے شاعر ہیں۔ شاعری کے ساتھ آپ نے حصول معاش کے لیے وکالت کا پیشہ اختیار کیا۔(۷۸۴)
آثم فردوسی کا پہلا شعری مجموعہ ’’سفر آفتاب کا‘‘ ۱۹۸۹ء میں شائع ہوا جو غزلیات پر مشتمل ہے۔ دوسرا شعری مجموعہ ’’عرش رسا‘‘ ۱۹۹۶ء کو شائع ہواجو حمدو نعت پر مشتمل ہے۔ تیسرا شعری مجموعہ ’’مہمان معلیؐ‘‘ ہے جو ۲۰۰۲ء کوشائع ہوا یہ نعتیہ شاعری پر مشتمل ہے۔ چوتھا شعری مجموعہ ’’سفیر کائناتؐ‘‘۲۰۰۳ء کو شائع ہوا۔
آثم فردوسی کی شاعری میں روایت پسندی کے ساتھ ساتھ جدت بھی پائی جاتی ہے۔ ان کی شاعری میں صرف غم جاناں کا ذکر ہی نہیں بلکہ ان کی شاعری کے موضوعات میں تنوع اور رنگا رنگی پائی جاتی ہے۔ان کے ہاں غمِ دوراں، اقدار کی پائمالی ،معاشرتی نا ہمواری ،رنگ و نسل کے امتیازات ،امارت و غربت کی تفریق اور انسانیت کی زبوں حالی کا ذکر واضح طورپر نظر آتا ہے۔ ان کی شاعری میں ماضی اور ماضی کی یادوں کا اظہار بھی جا بجا ملتا ہے۔ کچھ اشعار ملاحظہ ہوں:
آدمی کے خوں کو ارزاں دیکھ کر
وقت کی آنکھوں میں آنسو آ گئے
آگ اور پانی کی دشمنی ہے صدیوں سے
نفرتوں کی مٹی کو چاٹتے رہے گا کیا (۷۸۵)

کون سی بستی کو آثمؔ ڈھونڈتے رہتے ہو تم
درد کا سیلاب تو سب کچھ بہا کر لے گیا (۷۸۶)

تیرہ شب کے مسافروں سے کہو

تاريخية السنة بين المثبتين والنافين

A group of contemporary rationalists have repeatedly maintained that the rulings derived from the Sunnah have a historical framework that does not transcend them. After being proved, they must remain locked in the time in which they were said, and we are not obliged to follow them. The prophetic interpretation of the Qur'anic text is not the only interpretation, Is one possible form of interpretation. The rationalists market some evidence of this, including: copies, reasons for descent and causes of roses, and the language of some Koranic verses. In this research we will discuss the issue of this issue, and the statements of the parties and their evidence.

Effect of Protein Diet on Growth and Body Composition of Labeo Rohita Reared in Cemented Tank

Present study considered to observe the influence of varying dietary protein levels (30%, 35% crude protein and control diet) on proximate body composition of rohu (Labeorohita) from Government Fish Hatchery Multan. The experiment conducted for 2 months trail from October to November in 2017. At the start and end of the experiment-,the whole body composition of fish analyzed. Stocking density was 1000 per acre. In the whole, wet body, weight of Labeorohita the mean percentages for water, fat, protein and ash contentswere 76.86, 2.91, 16.89 and 3.33% respectivelyin this study in all treatments. Higher average protein, fat, ash percentage and minimum water percentage observed with increasing the crude protein in artificial fed. The highest percentage of protein (18.48%) and lowest percentage of water (75.46%) was observed in treatment 3 in which fish were fed with 35% crude protein in artificial diet. Percentage of fat and ash observed in treatment 2 was 3.18% and 2.87% respectively. In treatment 1, observed average percentage of water, fat, ash and protein was 78.71%, 1.98%, 3.24% and 16.07% respectively. Maximum water percentage was observed in treatment 1(30% crude protein in diet) and percentage of protein, fat and ash was low. In treatment2 in which fish were fed with 35% crude protein in artificial diet, average percentage of water, fat, ash and protein was 76.41, 3.58, 3.88 and 16.13% respectively. This estimated that with the increase of protein level in diet, fish highly grow in size. Body composition of fish effected with varying protein levels in artificial diet. The information of these parameters helps to select Labeorohitaas major diet because it contains higher protein content and is suitable for human consumption. This processused to find out the nutritional values of this fish through proximate analysis of body constituents of fish and find out the optimum dietary protein level of fish feed at which fish give maximum nutritional value.
