No full textGrowing Up with Screens: A Study on the Effects of Excessive Mobile Device Exposure in Early Childhood
No full textThis study was conducted to determine young children\u27s (Pre-Teens) exposure and impact on excessive use of mobile devices in early age. The children\u27s access and ownership of mobile devices at a very early age has grown substantially in the past decade. The rapidly advancing technology has become a part of children’s lives. This current generation of children is growing up in an era where mobile devices are the normal parts of daily lives interaction and communication. However, the early use of mobile phones has a negative impact and badly affected children\u27s social, psychological as well as physical life. Most parents give mobile phones to their children at a very early age to make them busy so they will not disturb them while they are working. Although most parents understand the negative effects of mobiles for children, still they allow their child to use them. This awareness also examined how badly children were affected by using mobile phones and negative impacts of early usage of electronic media. Moreover, it looked into the emerging trend of mobile devices use by children might affect the social development of their children, their ability to develop strong communication skills, and relationships with others

Intellectual property laws and Islam in Malaysia.
No full textPhDThis study is undertaken on the premise that Islam and Islamic law is to be taken into
serious consideration in any future legislative reform of laws in Malaysia. Islam being
the religion of the country and the strong religious sentiment of the Muslims (who
form the majority in Malaysia) cannot be overlooked or dismissed lightly by the
legislators in Malaysia. Reformation of intellectual property laws is timely, as we are
now approaching to the dateline set by GATF-Trips agreement which aim is to
improve our standard of intellectual property protection. This study seeks to analyze
and evaluate the current legislation pertaining to intellectual property in Malaysia in
terms of the philosophy and rules governing the existence, ownership and exercise of
these rights and their consistency and inconsistency with Islam and Islamic law. The
main objective of this study is to prove that a coherent and logical conceptual
framework of ownership of intellectual property can be derived from an Islamic
perspective which not only offers the basis of rights but also defines the scope of
these rights. From the point of ownership of rights, support can be obtained from the
normative framework of property rights within the traditional classification of 'mal'
(property) and 'haqq al-milkiyyah' (ownership rights) under Islamic law. From the
point of exercise of rights, the exact scope can be defined from the analysis of
fundamental concepts which have been developed by Muslim jurists. It has been
established that Islam and Islamic law offers a sound and systematic paradigm, which
in deeper analysis, can satisfy both our current obligations under international
treatises, as well as our responsibility to practise our religion to the fullest

University of Jerusalem. He gives lectures at Spertus Institute of Jewish
Learning and Leadership. He wrote a very brief book on Israel Education that provides
very specific information about its aim, principles, content, and pedagogy. It is
based on three papers titled, A Relational Philosophy of Israel Education;
Making Israel Education Happen; A Culture of Israel Education;
and an Epilogue. The subject of Israel Education promotes national
cohesion through teaching Israeli national narrative to its citizens and Jewish
visitors there. Author describes the target subject by a Relational Approach with
an objective for building a response to the
challenge of Jewish life in 21st Century, which must remain loyal to
its past, conversant to its present and progressive to its future. The

This study explores Pakistan's labor market with a focus on the interplay between skills development and job creation, analyzed through the lens of media coverage. As Pakistan grapples with high unemployment rates and a growing skills mismatch, this research examines how government electronic media highlight these challenges and propose solutions. The study identifies key trends in media discourse, including the portrayal of vocational training, digital skills, and government initiatives aimed at employment generation. Through content analysis, it evaluates how media narratives influence public perception and policymaking in the labor market. By addressing gaps in media representation, this research offers insights into leveraging media as a tool for promoting skill enhancement and fostering sustainable job creation in Pakistan. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the media’s role in shaping labor market dynamics and supporting economic growth
Public Views about Media Role in Women Empowerment
No full textThe focus of this study is to measure public view regarding the role of media in women empowerment. The deductive approach was employed to assess views of female and male members of society regarding the issue. The survey method was used to collect data from sample sites. One hundred thirteen samples were collected from cities, small towns and remote areas of Khairpur Mirs district. The views of respondents were measured by using t-test. Results reveal that social media, TV and newspapers have a significant role to help women empowerment while radio, magazines and books were identified having insignificant role to improve women empowerment. The overall results showed that, electronic media is more participative as compared to the print media to help women empowerment in the society
G-C3N4/Ag@CoWO4: A novel sunlight active ternary nanocomposite for potential photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B dye
No full textPresent study reports the fabrication of novel sunlight active heterogeneous photocatalyst, i.e. Ag@g-C3N4/CoWO4 for potential degradation of rhodamine B dye. The ternary nanocomposite was fabricated using thermal condensation of melamine to prepare g-C3N4 followed by coupling with silver doped cobalt tungstate (Ag@CoWO4) using the hydrothermal method. The novel composite photocatalyst (Ag@g-C3N4/CoWO4) along with pristine photocatalysts (g-C3N4 and Ag@CoWO4) were well characterized in term of morphology (scanning electron microscopy), structure (Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy), crystallinity (X-ray diffraction), and composition (energy dispersive X-ray). The energy band gaps of catalysts were calculated using UV–visible spectroscopic analysis (Tauc plot). The characterization analysis supports the successful assembly of Ag@CoWO4 nanoparticles on the surface of g-C3N4 nanosheets with good crystallinity. The photocatalytic potential of novel catalysts was examined through the degradation of rhodamine B dye in water. The engineered heterojunction promotes photocatalytic activity and improves photo-generated charge separation. The results of the proposed research showed boosted sunlight active photocatalytic efficiency (97% in 120 min at pH 6) of novel composite against rhodamine B dye degradation. The kinetics of the reaction was determined using different models and RSM was used as a statistical tool for interaction and individual effects of influencing parameters. The numerical values of optimized parameters endorsed the results of RSM i.e. composite dose = 10mg/100 mL, H2O2 = 15 mM, and pH = 6.Dr. Muhammad Zahid (corresponding author) is thankful to TWAS (Grant No. 15-410 RG/MSN/AS_C–FR3240288961 under TWAS-COMSTECH joint Research Grant) for equipments and the University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan for facilities to conduct this research. The valuable support from Central Lab, LUMS Pakistan for characterization of samples is highly acknowledged
