Psychosocial Implications of Globalization in the Emergence of Multiple Englishness in the World English language occupies the most dominant place in the comity of languages in the world. English language has attained the role of a link language in the world as it is understood and used extensively by the people belonging to different nations. The global domination and acceptance of this language has resulted in the emergence of multiple Englishes as people in different parts of the world are trying to utilize and bank upon this language for effective communication. Globalization has gone a long way in connecting societies together with the help of modern means of electronic and print media. English language variation and variety is the direct result of' the extensive use of English language in the curricula without the presence of native speakers as teachers. As a result it is difficult to follow and copy the accent and pronunciation. Moreover spelling and pronunciation vary from person to person and region to region. English as a language has come up on the international scenario as an indispensable force which occupies the mental and social domains of human life. It is resulting in the erosion of psychosocial identities of the societies and their rich traditional and political backgrounds. The domination and continued spread of English has further strengthened and consolidated the role of English in the under developed and developing societies which otherwise would have finished in the world after the World Wars in the first half of the twentieth century. Language is a living organism which grows and expands with the passage of time. The spread and growth of English language varieties have helped promote and facilitate the process of globalization as it created the concept of global village and global economic world order which is above colour, caste and creed as the process of globalization has alienated people and ideas from their cultures and societies. There is a tangible transformation of societies as people are not confined to their local identities rather they feel themselves part of world citizenship as they are directly affected by whatever is happening or even likely to happen in the world in any field of life.

شبِ برات اور آتشبازی کی قبیح رسم

شب برات اور آتش بازی کی قبیح رسم
انسان کی ہمیشہ سے خواہش رہی ہے کہ کام تھوڑ ا کر نا پڑے اور اس کی مزدوری اور اُجرت زیادہ مل جائے۔ اللہ تعالیٰ نے بھی کچھ اوقات ایسے مقرر کیے ہیں کہ اس میں دین اسلام پر کار بند شخص تھوڑی سی عبادت کر کے ڈھیروں ثواب کما سکتے ہیں۔ ان اوقات میں لیلۃ القدر یعنی شب برات بھی ہے جو پندرہ شعبان المعظم کی رات ہے اور کروڑوں مسلمان اس رات میں شبِ بیدار ی کر کے اپنے پروردگار کے سامنے سر بسجدہ ہوتے ہیں اور اپنے گناہوں کی معافی کے طلبگار ہوتے ہیں۔ چنانچہ قرآن مجید میں ہے کہ:۔
’’حم قسم ہے کتاب مبین کی بیشک ہم نے اتارا ہے اسے ایک برکت والی رات میں بے شک ہم ڈر سنانے والے ہیں، اس رات ہرحکمت والا کا م بانٹ دیا جا تا ہے۔‘‘
تشریح! یہاں کتاب مبین سے مراد کلام اللہ یعنی قرآنِ مجید فرقانِ حمید ہے اگر چہ بعض مقامات پر اس سے مرادلوح محفوظ بھی ہے۔ نزولِ قرآن کی رات کی عظمت و فضیلت کو ظاہر کرنے لیے اللہ تعالیٰ نے قرآنِ مجید کی قسم ارشاد فرمائی۔ لیلۃ القدر برکتوں والی رات اس رات کے تعین میں مختلف اقوال ہیں لیکن عام طور پرد وقول زیادہ مشہور ہیں ایک تو یہ کہ اس سے مراد لیلۃ القدر ہے جو ماہ ِرمضان شریف میں آتی ہے۔ دوسرا قول یہ ہے کہ اس سے مراد شب ِبرات ہے جو شعبان المعظم کی پندرھویں رات ہے جیسا کہ تفسیر مظہری میں ہے۔ حضرت عکرمہصنے کہا کہ یہ پندرھویں شعبان کی رات ہے جس میں سال بھر کے امور لکھ دیئے جاتے ہیں جنہیں مرنا ہوتا ہے انہیں زندوں کی فہرست سے نکال دیا جاتا ہے پھر ان میں نہ زیادتی کی جاتی ہے نہ کمی۔

Classification of News Articles using Supervised Machine Learning Approach

Today the big challenge for NEWS organization to well organize the news and well categorize the news in automatically no need the data entry people to enter and select the category and then based on the category and its sub-category they will be manually selected and enter the details and then after this the analysis will later on used for different aspects. The news is almost every second used in different sources of media in soft and hard. We use the both sources of the Pakistan News in dual languages English and Urdu both and process them and prepare them for machine learning and based on the Machine learning trained data we build a very effective and efficient model that can predict the title category of the news and category of description of the news. We use different machine learning algorithms and different features extraction finally we build the model using the machine learning algorithm with 89% accuracy with logistic regression.

Rician Noise Removal in Mr Images

This research work addresses a major denoising problem in Magnetic Resonance (MR) Images. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful and e ective di- agnostic tool in basic research, clinical investigation, and disease diagnosis since it provides both chemical and physiological information about the tissue. MR Images are a ected by Rician noise during acquisition phase which decreases the image quality, image analysis and becomes di cult to diagnose it accurately. This thesis is an attempt to suppress low and high categories of Rician noise from MR data in such a manner to enhance the diagnostically relevant image content. Supervised and unsupervisedltering techniques are applied to suppress the Rician noise hence improving its quality for diagnostic process. A new supervisedltering model, based on genetic programming (GP), is proposed that evolves an optimal composite mor- phological supervisedlter (FOCMSF ) by combining the gray-scale mathematical morphological operators. (FOCMSF ) is evolved through evaluating thetness of sev- eral individuals over certain number of generations. The proposed method does not need any prior information about the noise variance. In the domain of unsupervisedltering, three techniques are proposed. These are collaborative techniques based on statistical and fuzzy logic. Fuzzy similarity based non local meanslter (FSNLM) is designed to non-locally search out similar and non-similar regions of a noisy pixel. Fuzzy weights are assigned to these regions on the base of similarity. Then the noisy pixel is replaced with the fuzzy weighted average of these regions. Another hybridlter is proposed that combines FSNLM and local order statisticallters to suppress Rician noise. This hybridlter uses the strengths of non-local and locallters and adaptively calculates the fuzzy weighted estimation of the noisy pixels. Another non local fuzzy weighted Enhanced LMMSE (Linear Minimum Mean Square Estimator) is designed. The aim of this approach is to handle adaptively the low and high levels of variation of Rician noise and to estimate a closed-form of Rician distributed signal. It estimates the noise free pixel value based on similarity of the non-local neighborhood pixels around a window of certain prede ned radius. Similarity is computed using fuzzy logic approach which is served as fuzzy weights in enhanced LMMSE module for accurate estimation of noise free pixel value. The proposed schemes handle the problem with better accuracy than several well knownltering schemes NLM, LMMSE, Wavelet based techniques etc. and therefore can be considered as original contribution of this research work. The pro- posed schemes handle the problem of Rician noise at low and high noise variances on smooth as well as detailed regions where existing methods fail due to multifar- ious nature of this noise. The improved performance of the developedlters are investigated using the standard MRI dataset and its performance is compared with previously proposed state-of-the art methods. Detailed experimentation has been performed using simulated and real datasets based on well known quantitative mea- sures. Comparative analysis demonstrates the superiority of the proposed schemes over the existing techniques.
