On the partition dimension of circulant graph Cn(1, 2, 3, 4)
No full textLet Λ = {B1,B2, . . . ,Bl} be an ordered l-partition of a connectedgraph G(V (G),E(G)). The partition representation of vertex x withrespect to Λ is the l-vector, r(x|Λ) = (d(x,B1), d(x,B2), . . . , d(x,Bl)), whered(x,B) = min{d(x, y)|y ∈ B} is the distance between x and B. If the l -vectors r(x|Λ), for all x ∈ V (G) are distinct then l - partition is called aresolving partition. The least value of l for which there is a resolving l - partitionis known as the partition dimension of G symbolized as pd(G). In thispaper, the partition dimension of circulant graphs Cn(1, 2, 3, 4) is computedfor n ≥ 8 as

An Analysis of Learning Outcomes in Single National Curriculum for Grade Pre-I in Punjab, Pakistan
Get PDFThe present study aims to identify the levels of critical thinking skills in learning outcomes of the single national curriculum (SNC) 2020 for early childhood care and education grade pre-I in Pakistan. The Objectives of the study are supposed; to find out the frequency of learning outcomes designed by adopting different levels of critical thinking skills, to identify balance between learning outcomes designed keeping in view LOTS and HOTS, and to highlight the elements or action verbs being used to make the statements of learning outcomes at different levels of critical thinking skills. Quantitative data analysis approach is deployed to find out the frequency of different levels of critical thinking skills-based learning outcomes in SNC for grad pre-I. A Stratified type of sampling is used to make decisions about the selection of a single national curriculum for grade pre-I and purposive sampling was adopted to select the learning outcomes of SNC for grade pre-I. The critical Thinking Evaluation Model is implied to evaluate the learning outcomes at different levels of LOTS and HOTS. Findings indicate that LOTS are more focus of curriculum designers. SNC designers for grade pre-I are supposed to prepare students most prominently at the knowledge level, more frequently at the implementation level, and least frequently at self-directed learning level. This research is significant for curriculum designers, syllabus designers, teachers, and teacher trainers to make sure the balance between LOTS and HOTS, and the balance between the learning at each level of critical thinking skills while designing, teaching, and training.

Correlation between the University Librarians’ Information Literacy Skills and Research Support Services
No full textThe purpose of the current research is to determine the correlation between the Pakistani university librarians' information literacy skills (ILSs) and their provided research support services (RSSs) to faculty/researchers. To collect data from the respondents a purposive sampling technique was used. A questionnaire was managed offline as well as online to collect data from 259 librarians of the universities of Pakistan. The tool consisted of eight dimensions of ILSs and four of RSSs. The Pearson correlation coefficient test was applied to gauge the strength of the correlation between ILSs and RSSs. The findings reveal that there is a strong positive significant correlation between all of the factors of ILSs and RSSs except for three sub-factors whose correlation is medium. The value of the overall correlation between ILSs and RSSs is r = .80 which indicates a strong positive significant correlation. The study reveals that ILSs of the university librarians are imperative and a precondition for offering better RSSs
A Comparison of Q Index Ranked Journals: Library and Information Science Productivity and Research Trends (2011-2020)
No full textPublishing in the prestigious research avenues is considerable important for the researchers and academicians. However, selecting the right journal to suit the research topic and quality of research is a tiresome task. Studying the nature of the research published in differently ranked journals is important to understand the difference of research and publication trends. This study aims to examine a differences and similarities of the research published in the Q1 and Q4 ranked Library and Information Science (LIS). A total 21,437 documents were selected from WoS Q1 and Q4 category LIS journals for this study. Then the data of Q1 and Q4 journals was separately accessed, analyzed and compared with different tool including MS Access, MS Excel, Gaphi, Biblioshiny, and VOS Viewer software. We found significant differences in the LIS research themes and publication trends between the Q1 and Q4 category publications. The Q1 journals are publishing on emerging bibliometrics, technology related topics like social media, information systems, machine learning etc., innovating practices and research. While, Q4 journals mostly publish about academic libraries, information seeking, literacy and behavioral research. Topical evaluation reveled citation analysis, bibliometrics, social media, innovation and collaboration as emerging topics in both Q1 and Q4 category journals but differ in terms of total publications order. This is the first study to the best knowledge or understanding by the authors to examining the similarities and differences in a Q1 and Q4 ranked LIS journals related to the research trends, publishing institution, individuals, countries, etc. It also identifies and compares the Q1 and Q4 journal's major research topics, topical evolution over years, most citied research themes that can also be considered a novel contribution to the field. This study provides a holistic overview of topical evolution and emerging research foci for the LIS researchers, especially early career researchers, academicians, and research students to make right decisions for research topic, publication avenues, collaborators, and potential areas of interest to attract research grants. This method of comparing category-based research trends can assist library practitioners working for research support and information literacy to assist their users in the selection of topics for potential publications and publication avenues to create impact

Inoculation of Macrophomina phaseolina at three stages in sunflower plant and its effect on yield components of different sunflower varieties
Get PDFYield loss studies were conducted by growing the seeds of five sunflower hybrid/varieties, i.e. SC-83, SC-92, SF-187, SF-177 and HO-1. Plants inoculated with dry culture of Macrophomina phaseolina at sowing, flowering (60 days after emergence) and ripening time (75 days after emergence). The plant height and 1000-grain weight were significantly reduced in HO-1 variety for plants inoculated at late flowering stage to early ripening than the sowing in plots. The plants of all varieties inoculated at flowering stage also matured earlier than the uninoculated plants. The percent oil and protein content also decreased in inoculated plants of HO-1 followed by SC-92 and SC-83 as compared to SF-187 and SF-177 sunflower varieties/hybrid. The sclerotia of the fungus multiplied very rapidly when plants inoculated at flowering stage as compared to other two stages. The maximum yield (kg) per hectare was recorded in SF-177 (2130.00 and 2120.00) followed by SF-187 (2067.00 and 2049.00) sunflower plants inoculated at sowing time and ripening stage than the flowering stage. The yield losses were significantly increased in HO-1, SC-92 and SC-83 sunflower varieties. The overall yield loss in all varieties inoculated at flowering stage was (7.58-45.0%) at ripening (6.59-41.85%) and at sowing (5.54-37.97%) respectively
