Impact of training and development practices on leadership skills of middle managers: a comparative study is the title of this thesis. The objective of this research study was to show the relationship of training and development practices and improvement of leadership skills of middle managers of chosen organizations in comparison. To conduct this study, response was collected from the 60 middle managers of Pakistan International Airlines, Descon Engineering Limited, ICl/Akzonobel Chemicals, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited, Allied bank Limited and National Bank of Pakistan, working in Lahore, where an established HR department and training and development practices were prevailing. To conduct the research both primary as well as secondary data was collected. The main focus of the research was on primary data, 6 informal interviews as well as questionnaires were used. Descriptive statistics techniques, graphs and bivariate correlation analysis by using SPSS were applied on the data collected through questionnaires and informal interviews. The conclusion revealed from the study is that training and development practices improved the leadership skills of the employees as it built confidence of recognition and made middle managers clearer of their objectives and customs of work in their organization to lead their colleagues fairly and with full devotion. But the fluctuation in results of different organizations came because of execution patterns of training, corporate culture, globalized culture pressures, morale, and willingness of employees to learn. Therefore, both training as well as fair development practices are important for the improvement of leadership skills in middle managers.

لسان فسوں

لسان فسوں
فلک کی جالیوں سے لگ کر رونے والی۔۔۔!
میری رگوں میں خون بن کر دوڑتی رہتی ہے
میں زمین پر۔۔۔اسی کے خال و خد بناتے ہوئے!
دستِ حنائی کے لمس۔۔۔!
دلفریب لہجے کے سحر میں ڈوبے ہوئے۔۔۔!
تلمیحاتِ خمسہ کی ساری روایتیں۔۔۔!
غیلان،عِلاف،کندی۔۔۔!
فرزند سینا اور فارابی کی آیتیں بھی جانتا ہوں
طلوع سحر کا رازی۔۔۔جب اک وعدہ شام ہونے لگتا ہے
پھر میں موسم زلیخا کا۔۔۔
اک خوب صورت بہانہ بننے لگتا ہوں
سرخ سبز پرندوں کا ورد زباں ہونے لگتا ہوں

جب بھی فسوں ساز شاموں کی بات ہوتی ہے
زیتون و صندل۔۔۔!
سفید کبوتروں جیسے صحیفے پڑھنے لگتی ہیں
شاخوں پر پھول پتے نازل ہونے لگتے ہیں
جنوں کی روشنی میں جناب عنترہ اور عبلہ سے بھی ملاقات ہوتی ہے
جب طاق لمحے۔۔۔مجھ سے گلے ملتے ہوئے گزرتے ہیں
پھر تخلیقات عشق کا سنہری زمانہ بننے لگتا ہوں
سرخ سبز پرندوں کا ورد زباں ہونے لگتا ہوں

لسان فسوں جب دشت میں!
گلابی صحیفوں سے آیتیں تلاوت کرنے لگتی ہے
نشاط تعبیر کی وادیوں میں خوشبو۔۔۔!
شاداب جزیرں میں چاندنی رقص کرنے لگتی ہے
دل دھڑکنے لگتے ہیں
بزرگ جوگیوں سے۔۔۔!
چنبیلی کے سائے میں مناظرہ کرنے لگتے ہیں
لذت زخم کی تفسیر کرتے ہوئے!
جب سیفو،عبلہ اور ماریہ قندیل روشن کرتی ہیں
پھر قلندرانہ رقص کرتے ہوئے۔۔۔میں پروانہ بننے لگتا ہوں
سوسن و نسترن کی قسم!
میں لذت خمار کا تعارف غائبانہ بننے لگتا ہوں
سرخ سبز پرندوں کا ورد زباں ہونے لگتا ہوں

Inovasi Pendidikan Islam pada Masa yang Akan Datang: Penggabungan Madrasah dan Sekolah Pilihan

Pendidikan Islam menjadi pilihan masa depan, dan menjadi rujukan dalam mengembangkan potensi peserta didik dan embrio peradaban dunia, kemajuan peradaban Islam lahir dari pendidikan Islam yang berkualitas. Oleh karena itu, pendidikan agama Islam harus dikelola secara profesional, berbasis saintek dan berkualitas. Sistem pendidikan Islam mendesak untuk direformulasi sesuai dengan dinamika zaman, kebutuhan pasar, dan berbasis kearifan lokal, sehingga melahirkan ulama dan cendekiawan saintis yang unggul. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif, penelitian ini mengambil lokasi di Kota Pekanbaru, dengan sampel SMUN 10 dan MAN 3. Hasil penelitian ini adalah integrasi sistem pendidikan, baik sistem pendidikan sekolah unggulan maupun sistem pendidikan Madrasah, relevan dilakukan sebagai upaya mencari model pendidikan Islam yang ideal dan riil di era globalisasi.  

Performance-Based Seismic Assessment of Rc Smrf Compliant and Noncompliant Structures

The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center’s (PEER) probabilistic performance based earthquake engineering (PBEE) assessment and design framework FEMA P-58 2012 has been employed in the current research, with the application to reinforced concrete (RC) special moment resisting frames (SMRFs), to assess the seismic performance of code compliant and non-code compliant RC frames (having non-seismic provisions and construction defects/deficiencies), taking into consideration uncertainties in the definition of seismic hazard and structural response. The present research included uni-directional shake-table testing of 1:3 reduced scale RC frame models designed to Building Code of Pakistan – Seismic Provisions (BCP-SP 2007), which were detailed as per the ACI 318 (2005). The frames were built complying with the code requirements and having construction defects: low-strength concrete, lacking ties in joint panels, beam-column stirrups being provided at larger spacing, practicing reduced longitudinal reinforcements, along with non-seismic hooks. Five 1:3 reduced scale, two-story representative models were subjected to a linearly scaled accelerogram of the 1994 Northridge Earthquake for multiple excitations test. The observed damage mechanism and lateral force-deformation behavior of tested frames models were obtained, which were analyzed to calculate the frames seismic response parameters. The response modification factor (R-Factor) calculated for the code complaint frame is approximately 7.50, which is reduced by 40 to 60% for models with construction defects. One of the major findings reveals the minimum ACI 318 (2005) requirement for exterior column depth of 15 times the diameter of longitudinal steel bars is inadequate to avoid joint panel damage, specifically for structures built with lowstrength concrete and/or joint panels lacking confining ties under design-level earthquake. For numerical studies, a simple finite element based numerical model was prepared in SeismoStruct (2016) for nonlinear inelastic seismic analysis, which was calibrated with the experimental observed behavior (mechanism) and global displacement response. The modeling technique was found to capture the frame response (peak displacement and peak base shear) reasonably well. The calibrated numerical models were extended for the incremental dynamic analysis using a suite of ten spectrum compatible acceleration time histories, to derive the frames’ seismic response curve (roof drift demand versus peak input acceleration). Response ii modification factor R-Factors was calculated using both the experimental response data and numerical investigation (i.e. incremental dynamic analysis), which is critically compared with the BCP-SP (2007)/ACI 318 (2005) building code specified R factor for RC SMRF. Furthermore, the seismic performance of the considered code complaint and non-code compliant prototype structures were assessed using the PEER’s/FEMA P-58 2012 second generation PBEE methodology. This included the definition of seismic hazard, which was obtained from other existing studies. The development of frames’ fragility functions derived herein using a fully probabilistic Nonlinear Dynamic Reliability Based Method (NDRM). The considered frames performance assessment was evaluated for seismic hazard of various return periods (42, 75, 250, 475 and 2475 years) in order to compare the seismic performance of non-complaint structures relative to the code compliant structure. This research study will help provide guidance on the revision and updating of the Building Code of Pakistan – Seismic Provisions BCP-SP (2007) that can in turn help improve seismic design practices in Pakistan and contribution towards seismic risk mitigation.
