جناب اے ۔ اے ۔ اے فیضی
گزشہ مہینہ بمبئی کے جناب اے۔ اے۔ اے فیضی کی وفات ہوگئی، وہ ۱۹۱۹ء سے دارالمصنفین کے لائف ممبر تھے، اپنی نظروفکر میں جدید کاری اور ترقی پسندی کے باوجود آخر وقت تک علامہ شبلیؒ، مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ، دارالمصنفین اور معارف کے بڑے قدردان رہے، بمبئی جب جانے کا اتفاق ہوا تو وہ ایک شفیق بزرگ ہی کی طرح ملے، ان کے مذہبی اور فقہی خیالات کا احتساب تو وہاں ہوگا جہاں اب دائمی طور پر پہنچ گئے ہیں، مگر ان میں بعض شریفانہ خوبیاں تھیں جن کو ان کے معاصر دوست اور ملنے والے مدتوں یاد کریں گے، دعا ہے کہ اﷲ تعالیٰ کی بارگاہ میں ان کی کوئی ادا پسند آجائے جس سے ان کی مغفرت کا سامان ہوجائے، آمین۔ (صباح الدین عبدالرحمن، نومبر ۱۹۸۱ء)
Background of the Study: To compare the effects of cervical muscles strengthening with and without shoulder exercises on post- mastectomy patients with neck pain.
Methodology: It was a randomized clinical trial, conducted in physical therapy department of a clinical setting through Dynamometer. Sample size of 24 patients were taken. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used. A written consent form was taken from patients meeting inclusion criteria and were randomly allocated. In one group, patients were treated with cervical Muscles strengthening with shoulder exercises. In other group, patients were treated with cervical Muscles strengthening alone. Treatment was given once a day for three weeks. Muscle strength was examined using dynamometer, Baseline data was taken before treatment on first day after inclusion in study and again on the last day after treatment. SPSS 25 was used to analyze the data.
Results: Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare individuals within the group which showed significant results in both groups, p-value 0.000 (i.e. <0.001) for neck strength. Between groups comparison was done using Mann-Whitney U Test and it showed no significant changes for cervical extensors (p- value;0.143) , cervical side bending (right) (p-value; 0.315) and cervical side bending (left) (p-value; 0.853) strength differences, but however cervical flexors strength showed statistically significant results as p-value was 0.003.
Conclusion: It was concluded that Cervical strengthening along with shoulder Rehabilitation can help improve the strength of cervical flexors. However, both the groups have equally resulted in improved cervical extensor, Side bending right and left strength.
Thesis Title: The Effects of the Interaction between Monomodal and Multimodal Texts on language performance in Pakistani ESL Context: a Longitudinal Case Study The study is about the language performance of undergraduate learners including the possibilities and challenges faced by them in the learning and development of linguistic competence, mainly communicative competence. The research examines the use of visual texts as supplementary teaching materials and their influence on the barriers caused by the learners’ Affective and Cognitive domains. For these pupils, after leaning the target language for 6-12 year, insufficient communicative competence remains to be one of the major reasons for their low performance in academic and non- academic settings. It is a longitudinal Case study that challenges the hegemony of the application of the monomodal teaching materials. The study focused on 41 learners for duration of a semester during their Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at Air University, Islamabad. However, the research is conducted in two phases; the cross-sectional study in phase-I serves to provide the background knowledge of the problem being address in the second phase of Longitudinal Case study. The data collected during both phases of the study covered varieties of texts and were analyzed through qualitative and quantitative methods, thus resulting in thick description demonstrating both the process and the product of language learning. The results of both case studies reflect learners’ acquisition of the second language being heavily influenced by the factors investigated and suggest a significant role for visual texts in the curriculum to minimize them.
