Do we have proportionate gender in policy making? A Study based on key Government Institutions of SAARC Region
Get PDFWomen empowerment has remained a long standing issue for practitioners and policy makers at all levels even in the present modern known era of modernization. The basic objective of this study is to assess gender equality in the top sphere of the SAARC key governmental institutions from the recruitment and selection perspective. This study has used secondary data collected from the official websites of the governments and its affiliated key institutions. The unique feature of this study is that it analyzes gender inequality phenomena form the recruitment and selection perspective. An extensive gap has been identified between male and female top executives serving in key government institutions, which is not only a serious challenge for the global gender equality policy but also a serious question on government gender selection polices in the region. The notion of male dominance clearly prevails in the current scenario of the gender representation in government institutions, which remains a serious challenge for the gender equality. It has been concluded that a special focus is needed to prioritize the selection mechanism for females in top power structure of these governments especially in SAARC region
Violation of Consumer Rights by Electronic Media through Advertisements
Get PDFThis research paper attempts to evaluate the consumer rights and their violation by electronic media through advertisement. This is misguiding the consumer to buy harmful and unnecessary products. This research also aims at interpolating and ascertaining the onus of responsibility of a responsible media with regards to advertising. In the recent past the principle of “Caveat Emptor” which meant “Buyers beware” governed the relationship between a seller and buyer. In the era of open markets the buyer and seller came face to face, seller exhibited his goods, and buyer thoroughly examined them and then purchased them. The assumption would be consumer would use all his care and skill while entering into a transaction. The buyer to examine the goods before hand and most of the transactions are now concluded by correspondence. Discussion on consumer’s rights and their violation by media through advertisements is suggestive that consumers today enjoy a good amount of legal protection. But, even today, a large number of us remain exploited. Keywords: Consumer, Advertisement, Violation of Rights, Electronic Media legislation
A Novel Bitcoin and Block Chain Based Energy Exchange in a New Microgrid Design
No full textWe are proposing an approach employing microgrid through which community can efficiently fulfill each other needs of energy. This model will allow micro-grid prosumers to produce, consume and trade energy deprived of any barrier. At present, such a system is not accepted because it requires the “collaboration” of central energy distributors. In our solution, we visualize the use of a blockchain system with the support of smart contracts to provide decentralization. The energy is sent to the central energy storage from the prosumer and is stored there until the consumer claims it. Using smart energy (electricity) meters the flow of electricity can be tracked accurately in both ways, neighbors can purchase spare electricity using tokens rather than paying money. As blockchain takes care of the accounting part, it records the terms of the contracts, tracks how many energy credits have been sold, by whom and to whom. The micro-grid is facilitated by its own smart contract and it can share a desired amount of energy to a connected energy consumer. The customer is aware of how much consumption energy is available at any time in the central storage. The smart contract of the micro-grid takes as input HECs (helios coin) or a bit coin and then releases the energy that corresponds to the calculated amount of HECs or bit coin received by the sender in form of the payment. The test is to monitor these exchanges and repay purchasers and dealers likewise. This project is an effort to utilize blockchain methodology for the trade of sun-based power among members effectively, without any need of third party vendors

مکتوب نگاری اور اُردو زبان میں اس کا آغاز و ارتقا
No full textCommunication between two or more people is a social need and when it is not possible to communicate directly, people use writing to share their ideas and thoughts. This practice is known as letter writing or epistling. Epistling is a part of literature and by virtue of its qualities, the scholars have regarded it as one of the most delicate, intricate and noble arts. Like other forms of human communication, epistling also have many types and they have been of great importance for different nations and societies throughout history.With the arrival of Muslims in the sub-continent a new, communal and popular language, Urdu, was introduced and its initial written samples trace back to 15th century AD. Although Urdu epistling started developing with the development in the language itself, but in the initial stages it had a profound impression of Persian language on it. The transitional period of British rule also brought changes to Urdu epistling. In the middle of the nineteenth century, Urdu writing entered a new and important period. This article discusses the style of simplicity in Urdu letter writing which was introduced by Ghulam Ghous Bekhabar (1840-1905) and Rajab Ali Sarwar (1782-1867) and ranked to perfection by Mirza Ghalib
احمد پور شرقیہ میں مرثیہ نگاری کی روایت
No full textAhmadpur East was royal residencia of Bahawalpur State. As the Nawabs of State were non-shia so mourning literature could not be brought into the realm of writing. Because the creation of mourning literature could have caused the anger of the rulers. So mourning literature was created but it was limited to the memory of the people. When the Abbasid rulers established this state, there was no place for Husseini Bahman in this area. Many such families migrated from here and even if a few families were present, they would perform their religious rituals in secret. In terms of action and reaction, when the rulers are weak, the rise of mourning literature is seen. With the rise and fall of the state, the rise and fall of mourning literature is seen. The rulers have an indirect influence on poets and literature. Hayat Meerthi, Nafees Fateh Puri, Maulvi Ghous Mohammad, Qazi Ghulam Hassan Mahui and Syed Akhtar Munir are named in the history of Bahawalpur Lamentation literature. This article covers this tradition

No full textDoes Performing Endoscopy Sooner Have an Impact on Outcomes in Patients With Acute Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage? A Systematic Review.
Get PDFBackground Endoscopy is the cornerstone for the diagnosis and treatment of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Regarding the management of nonvariceal bleeding, the administration of crystalloid solution and proton pump inhibitors before endoscopy is well established, but the optimal timing of endoscopy has been a matter of debate and a subject of many investigational studies. The need for urgent endoscopy arises to provide prompt redress to acute bleeding, decrease the length of stay, and lower mortality from ongoing bleeding. Objective This study aimed to determine if endoscopy performed within 24 hours of presentation improves outcomes in terms of mortality, hospital length of stay, and rebleeding in individuals presenting with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleed with any risk. Methodology We performed a systematic review of two large databases (PubMed and Google Scholar) to incorporate all studies published after 2000. We included studies with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding and excluded those reporting variceal gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Results We reviewed eight studies that qualified after meeting our inclusion and exclusion criteria. We divided these studies into three separate groups based on the timing of endoscopy. Only two studies found a difference in mortality that was statistically significant in patients who underwent endoscopy within 24 hours of presentation. One study showed lower mortality in a patient who underwent urgent endoscopy, but it did not reach statistical significance. Other studies did not show any statistical difference in mortality, hospital length of stay, and rebleeding rates. The studies showed conflicting evidence on the amount of blood transfusion, though urgent endoscopy was found to be difficult in few studies due to blood obscuring the lesion. Conclusions While data suggest that there is a potential benefit in performing endoscopy sooner, there is no concrete evidence to point to a particular time range. Before performing endoscopy, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (2012) recommends adequate resuscitation with crystalloid solutions, blood transfusions, and antisecretory and prokinetic agent therapy. More investigational studies are needed to formulate a time-sensitive flow sheet to approach endoscopy in patients with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. A strict criterion is also needed to delineate patients into low-risk and high-risk groups. Doing so would provide a systematic approach to help with mortality, rebleeding, and healthcare resource utilization
