اسلام دہشت گردی نہیں امن چاہتا ہے
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
صدرِذی وقار ،معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کا موقع فراہم کیا گیا ہے وہ ہے:’’اسلام دہشت گردی نہیں امن چاہتا ہے ‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
دہشت گردی ایک ایسا ناسور ہے جس نے معاشرے کے حسن کو ختم کر دیا ہے، ایک ایسا عفریت ہے جس کے خوفناک مجسمے نے امن و سکون کو خاک میں ملا دیا ہے۔ دہشت گردی ایک ایسی ظلمت ہے جس سے نور وضیا دور ہوتے چلے جاتے ہیں۔
جنابِ صدر!
دہشت گردی گھر میں ہو، گھر سے باہر ہو، محلہ میں ہو کوچوں میں ہو ،تعلیمی اداروں میں ہو، درسگاہوں میں ہو، دہشت گردی جہاں کہیں بھی ہواپنے منحوس سایوں کے باعث زندگی اجیرن کر کے رکھ دیتی ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
دہشت گردی کی فضاء میں پروان چڑھنے والا پودا کبھی تناور درخت نہیں بن سکتا۔ دہشت گردی کے ماحول میں بڑھنے والا پھول کبھی گر دونواح کو معطر نہیں کرسکتا۔دہشت گردی کی فضاء میں سانس لے کر پروان چڑھنے والا مرد حر کا لباس زیب تن نہیں کر سکتا۔
معزز سامعین!
برائی جو بھی ہو اس کو ختم کرنا اس کو جڑ سے اکھیڑنا، اس کو صفحہ ہستی سے مٹانا، اس کو نیست و نابود کرنا انتہائی ناگزیر ہو جا تا ہے اس کے لیے سر توڑ کوشش کی جاتی ہے، جہد مسلسل سے کام لیا جاتا ہے، شب وروز کاوش کی جاتی ہے۔
جنابِ صدر!
پیہم محنت سے اس کے تن ناقص پہ کاری ضرب لگائی جاسکتی ہے۔ اس کے وجود بد سے بچاؤکی صورت اختیار کی جاسکتی ہے۔ دہشت گردی جیسی لعنت سے چھٹکارا ایک مرد مجاہد کے لیے...
Firstly, I would like to welcome all the readers, authors, editorial team and management of Pakistan Biomedical Journal (PBMJ) to this new journal in Biomedical Sciences. It is an intenational peer-reviewed, open-access journal that merges the basic and clinical research for the better outcome in terms of diagnosis and therapeutics. This approach will update and upgrade the existing knowledge among the researchers and clinicians, regarding the patient care and practice as well as understanding of underlying mechanisms of diseases. The ultimate beneficiary is patient and community as a whole. PBMJ is led by an outstanding Editorial Board comprising of national and international members with multidisciplinary research background. Our goal is to promote the basic and clinical research, health and disease perspectives. We receive original studies, review articles, case reports, systemetic reviews on medical, biomedical, basic and therapeutic research. We welcome scientific contributions from all over the world. It is the need and demand of the recent world scenario to focus on biomedical research. In the current world, basic and medical science cannot be considered as two separate and independent entities. There should be coherent efforts to unveil the basic understandings of pathologies at physiological, cellular and molecular level. Furthermore, the therapeutic strategies should also be explored on regional and global levels, by keeping in mind the different genetic makeups and considering the individual identities. It leads to the field of ‘personalized medicine’. There are many other recent therapeutic regimens such as regenerative medicine, exosomes, gene silencing and gene editing technologies. The world has also advanced in diagnostic modalities. Much focus has been emphasized on rapidness, accuracy and cost-effectiveness of these techniques. Imaging, scanning, histopathological, biochemical and hematological techniques have been much advanced than before. World has been changing rapidly in medical profession. Hence, it is important to be aware of these advancements worldwide and also to share the health related researches at local level. We hope this new journal will be a good addition in this perspective of sharing the recent knowledge, advancements and create awareness among masses.
The needs, priorities, interests and characteristics of students, parents and school management have rapidly changed around the world in the last few decades due to the easy accessibility of knowledge. There is a conflict between community expectations and teachers' aspiration in relation to the status of a teacher. In this conflict, when the teacher sees herself as helpless, powerless, alienated, and with reduced personal accomplishment and low status, this is the stage of burnout. This is a serious educational dilemma and cannot be neglected. Research reveals that burnout of human service professionals is common in all fields including teaching (Barnett et al., 1999). Burnout teachers continue their work and cause harm to their own life and the well-being of students (Dworkin, 1985 & Smith and Bourke, 1992).Timely preventive and restorative measures will help to reduce this serious dilemma. In Pakistani society, Teacher Burnout (TB) is considered a closed/neglected phenomena, as teachers do not speak about the way they are treated and what they undergo as teachers in their career due to fear of demotions and job security. However, internationally, when 22% of the professionals who are burnt out are teachers (Schaufeli, 1998 cited in Pines, 2002) and 85% of burnout teachers remain in the system (Dworkin, 2001) Pakistan cannot be excluded? Literature gives three perspectives to TB viz. psychological, sociological and psychodynamic. This study further explores a new perspective viz. TB through a leadership perspective and the ways to reduce it. The study was conducted through a qualitative multiple case study approach. Data were gathered through personal interviews, document analysis, observations and informal conversations that helped to triangulate the data drawn. Two head teachers from two private secondary schools of Karachi were the primary participants of this study. A vice-Principal and three teachers were interviewed to know their opinions and views about their head teachers' perspective. The findings of the study suggest that TB has a different definition; different factors and remedies from a leadership perspective as compared to the other three perspectives. The data provided insights as to TB with reference to educational reforms taking place. Teachers are facing problems of coping. In order to reduce this problem, schools need to plan well in advance and provide necessary skills, so that teachers become flexible. The work environment in schools should demonstrate collegiality, equal distribution of work, shared vision, empowerment and benefits to teachers so that they can balance their
