Post Pandemic Research Trends on Challenges and Outcomes in Education: A Case-study of HEC Recognized Journals of Education 2020- 2021
No full textObjective: The purpose of the present study is to explore the research trends on challenges and outcomes of post pandemic education. The researcher has conducted a meta-analysis of HEC recognized journals of education published in post pandemic period that is 2020-2021.
Methodology: The study has adopted qualitative approach following case-study design. The population of the study is comprised of each of 2 issues of 14 journals of education recognised by higher education commission of Pakistan. The sample was selected using purposive sampling technique. The sample size was 21 articles based on the inclusion criteria which directs to select only those articles discussing the post COVID context of teaching-learning process. The data was collected through a literature review matrix which was developed to classify the articles for various themes generated after critical review. After reviewing the selected articles, different themes were generated such as Pandemic and higher education, psychological aspects of post pandemic context, learning experiences in Covid-19, remote teaching and challenges, assessment and distant learning using content analysis technique.
Findings: This content analysis revealed that COVID-19 has increased the scope of online education by showing an increasing trend of Hybrid model in education. The research has highlighted the effect of COVID-19 on teachers and learners particularly and the system of education generally. It further explored the issue related to depression and anxiety and challenges related to energy crises.
Implications: This study recommends that to overcome such issues and challenges there should be provision of professional development programs for the teachers to prepare them for future circumstances
The Role of Media in the Promotion of Divine Religions and Contemporary Communication Methods
No full textThe divine religions are concerned with the promotion of true knowledge of Allah Almighty. These religions, in their broadest sense, are spread over a wide area of the world, and with each passing day, their propagation and transmission is expanding. It has been a tradition for centuries that whether it is human beings or religions, they have needed media for the truth of their word. It is certain that the divine religions also made full use of the prevailing media of their time and succeeded in conveying their ideas and thoughts to many people. The preaching struggle of the divine religions did not span a single century but a long span of centuries, the scale of which we cannot determine at present. However, some aspects can be pointed out historically. Two important sections are highlighted in this article. The role of the media in the promotion of divine religions. The contemporary communication methods and aspects of competition between the nations of the world, especially between the Indian subcontinent and the West. In addition to the divine religions, this article also discusses the mode of communication of non-divine religions and gives a brief overview of their methods
Cross-cultural study on social support, sense of coherence and outcomes in Pakistan and Germany
No full textThe current research examines the mediating role of sense of coherence between social support and outcomes including well-being and stress in collectivistic (Pakistan) and individualistic culture (Germany). Sample comprises of university students (N = 200) further equally divided in individualistic and collectivistic culture. Hierarchical regression is applied for data analysis. The hypotheses are confirmed by the findings. Sense of coherence partially mediated between social support and well-being in collectivistic culture, individualistic culture and overall sample. Similarly, sense of coherence partially mediated between social support and stress among students. The current investigation is an important addition in the literature on the theory of sense of coherence. The direct paths of sense of coherence and outcomes were well-established in the past literature; however, the present study contributes to the theory by suggesting an indirect path to well-being and stress

Association of Interleukin 17F with Arthritis in Punjabi Families of Pakistan
No full textArthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes severe joint pain. Interleukin 17F (IL17F) is considered as a candidate gene functionally; it mediates pro-inflammatory responses, depending on the type and site of inflammation. The present study examined the polymorphism of IL17F (rs763780 and rs2397084) among the families affected by arthritis. Demographic data and blood samples were collected from the families with at least one affected offspring with arthritis. Analysis of the IL17F gene polymorphism was performed by the digestion of DNA with NlaIII and AvaII. The results showed that IL17F rs763780 (AA, AG and GG genotypes) and rs2397084 (AA, AG and GG genotypes) were associated with arthritis (OA & RA). It was evaluated that about 65 and 21 percent of the individuals mutated with homozygous mutation for wild type allele A, heterozygous mutation A/G against selected SNPs respectively. But homozygous polymorphic allele for allele G was only found against rs2397084. Mutation in rs2397084 resulted to change Lysine into Arginine, whereas mutation in rs763780 changed Histidine into Arginine. Maternal history was found as a stronger factor in transferring arthritis. The results of this study revealed an association of arthritis with IL17F among Pakistani population
DermInsight: A diagnostic System for Human Skin Diseases utilizing Deep Learning
No full textSkin diseases present significant challenges in healthcare due to their diverse diagnosis and treatment. They ranked among the top causes of disability because most people ignore their early symptoms due to costly and time-consuming diagnostic methods, which worsen the skin condition with time. This research-based project is a contribution to the timely and cost-effective identification of seven prevailing skin diseases. We propose a novel deep learning-based system capable of classifying distinct skin diseases including melanoma, melanocytic nevi, actinic keratosis, benign keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, dermatofibroma, and vascular lesions. By leveraging a comprehensive dataset HAM10000, our system achieved an impressive accuracy rate of 98.14% in accurately identifying and categorizing these skin diseases. We employ transfer learning and fine-tuned three advance deep learning models MobileNetV1, MobileNetV2, and Xception, and evaluate their performance in the classification of seven human skin diseases. Remarkably, MobileNetV1 emerged as the top-performing model, surpassing the capabilities of the other models and existing state-of-the-art methods. In addition, the proposed model is deployed in an android app named “DermInsight” for the use of dermatologists. The dermatologist uploads the image of the skin lesions of a patient and the app will predict the disease within 1 to 2 seconds
The Advent Of Digital Media And The Survival Of Minority Languages In Gilgit-Baltistan
No full textThis study tries to find out the current state of vitality of the local languages spoken in Gilgit-Baltistan (henceforth GB), Pakistan, especially in the current scenario where social media platforms, mediated with the two dominant languages, i.e., Urdu and English, have completely occupied people from all age groups alike. Data for this study were gathered through a questionnaire developed on Google form containing items both closed-ended and open-ended statements. The questionnaire was distributed among the native speakers of local languages spoken in GB through emails, WhatsApp (groups), and Facebook. Mixed methods research was used in the study to collect and analyze the data from different perspectives to draw a clearer and holistic picture of the phenomenon under study. The findings show that relexification in the local languages of Gilgit-Baltistan is at its peak and words from both Urdu and English are being injected into these languages through education, electronic media and social media. Education and social media have been the most prominentand influential modes of word transfer into the local languages of GB. Furthermore, the dominant languages are gradually replacing the local languages in most of the domains of use, which as a result is compelling these minority languages to recede from every day use. Moreover, the natives consider their mother tongues to be impractical and they do not see any future for and in their mother tongues. The attitude of the natives is not favorable for these waning languages which can be a big hurdle in their maintenance and revival
