The demand of 21st century is to develop the learner’s potential to become critical thinkers, effective problem solvers and decision makers. This is possible when a teacher provides learning opportunities to the students to develop their data analysis skills. My study aimed to understand the data analysis skills of the science students who are engaged in inquiry in science. For this purpose, three inquiry activities were designed to teach three science concepts on the topic ‘Effects of Heat Energy”. A qualitative research design was used to respond to my research question in this study. Six student of Grade VIII from Leading Stars Private Secondary School (Pseudonym) Karachi participated in this study, among them two were girls and four were boys. The data was obtained through field notes and videos recordings. Later the data was analyzed by breaking videos into segments to find the themes and their meanings. After that video transcription of selected segments of the lesson was done by listening and writing every sentence or phrase of each individual student. Then the summary of the videotaped lesson was made. After transcribing the segments of the video and writing the summary of lessons, identified some themes that were emerged from the lessons and explained those themes in detail. The findings of my study reveal that majority of the students demonstrated analysis skills such as (identifying relevant science concepts from the activity being demonstrated, applying previously learnt concepts, identifying the procedure that is being followed and giving a reason for the phenomena at hand) well in all three inquiry activities. However, analysis skills such as (suggesting a solution for the problem at hand and articulating a conclusion) were less used in three inquiry activities and poorly developed in majority of the students. This study also indicates that students improve their analysis skills more in an interactive learning environment and the skills which are normally used by the students in their daily science classroom are found to be improved. So, it becomes very essential to improve data analysis skills of the students by employing creative teaching strategies to bring innovation in teaching and learning science.

سعید الحق دیسنوی

سعید الحق دیسنوی
حضرت سید صاحب رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ کے ایک لائق عزیز سعیدالحق دیسنوی پاکستان ریڈیو میں ایک بڑے عہدہ پر ممتاز تھے، ان کو حضرت سید صاحب سے قلبی لگاؤ تھا، انھوں نے ان پر انگریزی اخبارات و رسائل میں کئی مضمون لکھے، ان کی مشہور تصنیف خطبات مدراس کا انگریزی میں ترجمہ کیا، جو شائع ہوچکا ہے، ان کی دوسری تصنیف عرب و ہند کے تعلقات کا بھی ترجمہ کیا جو بالاقساط اسلامک کلچر حیدرآباد میں شائع ہوا، مشرقی پاکستان کی سلیمان اکیڈمی کے بھی بانیوں میں تھے، افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ مہینہ ان کا انتقال ہوگیا اور ان کی ذہانت اور صلاحیت سے جو امیدیں تھیں وہ پوری نہ ہوسکیں، ان کی کل عمر اٹھاون سال تھی، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، اپریل ۱۹۶۸ء)

 

اسلامی نظام قضاء اور ثبو ت دعو ی کے احکام: تحقیقی جائزہ

The establishment and implementation of justice is the primary responsibility of the Islamic state. In every Islamic society, the establishment of the systems of justice and police become an obligation and a necessity for the betterment of society and for the solution of the problems faced. The present research deals with the issue of Islamic system of judiciary highlighting its various components in the light of Shari‘ah. Oath, Evidence, Witness and various technical terms used in the dissemination of Ajustice are explained with evidences from Qur’┐n and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W).  So this research concludes with the note that if the system of justice be strengthened; all the problems, in particular elimination of crimes can take place, and decisions can be given in the light of the laws and orders in the light of the Shari‘ah.

Interference and Capacity Analysis in Wireless Mesh Network

CSMA based MAC protocols are known to incur throughput imbalance when employed in multi hop wireless networks and existing literature lacks efficient MAC protocol for wireless mesh networks. Accurate modeling of interference and its affect on throughput of flows in the WMN is critical in designing future wireless networking protocols. This thesis performs a thorough analysis of interference and capacity in wireless multi hop network based on CSMA/CA MAC behavior. It is hypothesized that accurate modeling of interference at MAC level can maximize overall network capacity. In first part of thesis, twenty five unique possible two flow topologies have been classified into six categories based on MAC layer behavior and per flow throughput and closed form expressions for occurrence probabilities of the identified categories have been derived with particular observation that carrier sensing range based categories have high occurrence probability and cannot be ignored. MAC behavior of each category is discussed. In the second iii iv part, accurate computation of conditional packet loss probability and busy time is done based on geometrical configuration of the interfering links and also predicted per-flow throughput while addressing CSMA’s coordination problem. Unlike previous work, our analytical throughput model can clearly differentiate between links interfering from transmission range and carrier sensing range. Analytical and empirical results demonstrate improved accuracy, indicate throughput imbalances and provide better understanding of CSMA based protocol behavior in multi-hop wireless networks that can be used to design fair, scalable, and efficient MAC layer protocols.
