The rapid growth in technology and digitalization, the nature of jobs has been changed. Many of the earlier mechanical jobs have become redundant now. During recent times (21st century), organizations require employees who are creative, life-long learners, and ability to handle multi-tasks. Therefore, the expectations of organizations have put a pressing demand on schools to instill creativity and innovation to meet the expectations of their future employers. One way to develop diverse knowledge and skills in students is investing in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. As integration between core disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is rapidly growing around the globe, but the recognition of such integration may hardly be identified in Pakistan. This study made an attempt to explore how mathematics can be taught through STEM pedagogy. The purpose of the study is to understand how to engage students in learning mathematics collaboratively and provide an interconnected learning based on real-world applications. The action research method was selected followed by qualitative design. Further, Kemmis, McTaggart, and Retallic (2004) model was adopted, which suggests a few steps of conducting action research such as to observe, plan, act and reflect. Overall, grade 8 children were selected as participants among them 6 students (i.e. above average, average, and below average) were selected for focus group discussions and interviews with a mathematics teacher. The findings of the study reveal that the level of eagerness, active participation, and interest for learning Mathematics was augmented through the integration of multidisciplinary approach. It also helped students to develop diverse knowledge and sense of team work which they lacked earlier. STEM pedagogy engaged learners in two major activities (e.g. laser based activity and construction of a greenhouse) that provided opportunity to be inter-dependent and learned the concepts like the reflection of light, photosynthesis process in plants, angle and geometric shapes, effective use of GeoGebra software, and Architecture engineering as their future career. The study highlights the need of collaboration among teachers of STEM disciplines to develop multidisciplinary instruction to further strengthen students’ capacity to empower the next generation of innovators.

حقوقِ انسانی کا اسلامی تصور

حقوق انسانی کا اسلامی تصور
ہر مذہب میں حقوقِ انسانی پر اپنے اپنے طریقہ کار کے تحت زور دیا گیا ہے، دنیا کے تمام مذاہب کسی نہ کسی طور پر حقوق انسانی کا پرچار کرتے ہیں ،حقوقِ انسانی کو اسلام میں جو اہمیت دی گئی ہے اس کا کوئی تصور اس سے قبل کسی شریعت یا معاشرے میں نہ تھا۔ اسلامی شریعت اس کی تلخیص کچھ یوں پیش کرتی ہے ’’ در دل کے واسطے پیدا کیا انسان کو‘‘ اگر کوئی محتاج ہو تو اس کی احتیاج دور کرنا ، اگر کوئی بیمار ہے تو اس کی عیادت کرنا، بیواؤں کی سر پرستی ،یتیموں کی پرورش، مجبورو معذور افراد کی دستگیری ، ان پڑھ لوگوں کی تعلیم کا انتظام ایسے ہمہ قسم انتظامات اور معاملات اسلامی شریعت میں بہترین عبادت کا درجہ رکھتے ہیں۔ اسلامی شریعت میں یہ تاکید ہے کہ کوئی ہمسایہ بھوکا نہ ر ہے، اگر خود پیٹ بھر کر کھا لیا اور پڑوسی بھوکا رہ گیا تویہ کھا نا ناجائز ہوگا۔
انسان کے حقوق کی ادائیگی اور ہر لحاظ سے انسانوں کا احترام کرنا اور ان کی عزت کا خیال رکھنا، اسلامی تعلیمات اس سے معمور ہیں۔ جو انسان حقوق العباد کی ادائیگی کے منصب رفیعہ پر متمکّن ہوتے ہیں وہ آسمانِ عظمت و رفعت پر آفتاب نصف النہار کی طرح چمکتے ہیں۔ یہ وہ انسان ہوتے ہیں کہ جو اپنے آرام و آسائش کو چھوڑتے ہیں اور بہ کمال ایثار دوسروں کے کام آتے ہیں۔ ایسے ایثار اور محب انسان و انسانیت لوگوں کو اسلام ِارفع مقام عطا فرماتا ہے اور ان کی رفعت وعظمت کا ذمہ دار ہوتا ہے۔ اگر ہم کو اپنے ماحول اور اپنے معاشرے میں غربت و جہالت ملتی ہے اور معاشرے میں ہم دیکھتے ہیں کہ ضرورت مند اور یتیم ومحتا ج موجود ہیں، اگر ہماری نگاہیں بداخلاقیوں...

Accuracy of Interim Radiology Resident Ct Reports Given During on Call Hours in a Competency Based Radiology Training Program

Background: In many academic hospitals globally, radiology residents provide preliminary interpretations of CT studies performed outside of regular working hours. As part of a competence based education (CBE) system this is with a view to continue providing the necessary radiology consultation while at the same time exposing the radiology resident to much needed experience in making independent decisions and in developing professional skills.Realtime cases are the foundation of any competency based educational program. Discrepancies however do occur between the residents’ interim reports generated after normal working hours and the final reports released to the clinician. This may lead to adverse clinical outcomes including worsened morbidity, repeated imaging or delayed diagnosis. Objectives: The primary objective was to prospectively define the extent and factors contributing to discrepancy in out of hours CT reporting. Secondary objectives were to identify the most common discrepancies that occur during after-hours reporting, risk factors for such discrepancies and to establish ways of improving patient management in a competency based training institution. Design: Prospective cohort study of patients undergoing CT scans at Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH)-Nairobi, carried out over a consecutive duration of six months from October 2011 to end of March 2012. Sampling method: Consecutive sampling of all interim CT scan reports by residents after normal working hours was done. Data analysis: The data collected were analyzed using Stats Program Software, SPSS version 16.The proportion of major and minor discrepancies were determined within a 95% confidence interval.Categorical variables of interest including type of radiological examination, confidence level of the resident at the time of reporting, level of residency and time of reporting were plotted and displayed in tables, pie charts and stacked columns against the major and minor discrepancy rates. Potential associations between major discrepancy rates and numerical variables including adequacy of clinical information and level of confidence of the resident during reporting were tested using Chi square. Results: The major discrepancy rates were 4.5% with an overall discrepancy rate (both major and minor discrepancies) of 11.7% i.e. 34 out of 291 reports. Majority of these of these were errors of observation (19 out of 34).There were five (5) false positives and one (1) error of interpretation or cognition. These errors led to change in management in fifteen cases, increased patient morbidity in ten cases, required additional imaging in three cases, necessitated or resulted in extended hospital stay in four patients and did not potentially alter
