Estimating Passenger Car Equivalent Factors for Heterogeneous Traffic Using Occupancy-Density Linear Regression Model
No full textA variety of methods have been proposed in the existing literature for the estimation of passenger car equivalent (PCE) factors. These methods are based on the comparison of selected attributes of different vehicles. This research, for the first time, utilizes the basic notion of the linear relationship between road area occupancy and density for the estimation of PCE factors for different vehicle types in heterogeneous traffic. Aerial photographs obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were analyzed to estimate the road area occupancy and the number of vehicles classified in seven selected groups. A linear least-squares regression model was developed between road area occupancy and classified vehicle count. The coefficients of the occupancy-density linear regression model were used to estimate PCE and motorcycle equivalent (MCE) factors. The comparison of the estimated set of PCE values with the values reported in the literature shows that PCE factors estimated using the proposed method are reasonable and produce a better occupancy-density relationship than the other studies. In comparison with the existing methods that rely on lane-based measurements, the proposed method is well suited for traffic with weak/no lane discipline, as it considers the entire road width and the dynamics of lateral movement of different types of vehicles. The proposed method does not need extensive traffic data of speeds, headways, flow rates, and so forth, and is applicable on aerial photographs obtained from other sources, such as satellites.Funding

EMPIRICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SOFTWARE QUALITY
No full textThe research topic focuses on the characterization of software quality considering the main software elements such as people, process and product. Many attributes (size, language, testing techniques etc.) probably could have an effect on the quality of software. In this thesis we aim to understand the impact of attributes of three P’s (people, product, process) on the quality of software by empirical means. Software quality can be interpreted in many ways, such as customer satisfaction, stability and defects etc. In this thesis we adopt ‘defect density’ as a quality measure. Therefore the research focus on the empirical evidences of the impact of attributes of the three P’s on the software defect density. For this reason empirical research methods (systematic literature reviews, case studies, and interviews) are utilized to collect empirical evidence. Each of this research method helps to extract the empirical evidences of the object under study and for data analysis statistical methods are used. Considering the product attributes, we have studied the size, language, development mode, age, complexity, module structure, module dependency, and module quality and their impact on project quality. Considering the process attributes, we have studied the process maturity and structure, and their impact on the project quality. Considering the people attributes, we have studied the experience and capability, and their impact on the project quality. Moreover, in the process category, we have studied the impact of one testing approach called ‘exploratory testing’ and its impact on the quality of software. Exploratory testing is a widely used software-testing practice and means simultaneous learning, test design, and test execution. We have analyzed the exploratory testing weaknesses, and proposed a hybrid testing approach in an attempt to improve the quality.
Concerning the product attributes, we found that there exist a significant difference of quality between open and close source projects, java and C projects, and large and small projects. Very small and defect free modules have impact on the software quality. Different complexity metrics have different impact on the software quality considering the size. Product complexity as defined in Table 53 has partial impact on the software quality. However software age and module dependencies are not factor to characterize the software quality.
Concerning the people attributes, we found that platform experience, application experience and language and tool experience have significant impact on the software quality. Regarding the capability we found that programmer capability has partial impact on the software quality where as analyst capability has no impact on the software quality.
Concerning process attributes we found that there is no difference of quality between the project developed under CMMI and those that are not developed under CMMI. Regarding the CMMI levels there is difference of software quality particularly between CMMI level 1 and CMMI level 3. Comparing different process types we found that hybrid projects are of better quality than waterfall projects. Process maturity defined by (SEI-CMM) has partial impact on the software quality. Concerning exploratory testing, we found that exploratory testing weaknesses induce the testing technical debt therefore a process is defined in conjunction with the scripted testing in an attempt to reduce the associated technical debt of exploratory testing.
The findings are useful for both researchers and practitioners to evaluate their project
Democratic Welfare State as Visualised by the Quaid-i-Azam
No full textThe Quaid-i-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, is known more for his political achievements than for his socio-economic thought. Last two decades, however, have seen a continuous flow of books containing his speeches, statements, messages, interviews, discussions in pre-independence legislative bodies and addresses in the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. Even a cursory look at this vast literature shows that he was not only concerned with the political aspect of sub-continent’s independence movement but also consistently expressed his views regarding the socio-economic uplift of masses in general and Muslim society in particular. These views in their bare essentials reflect a remarkable continuity of approach from the earlier days of his political career to the period he occupied the position of Governor General of Pakistan. Actually, he became more and more expressive and forthright as the prospects of Pakistan coming into existence became bright. When Pakistan finally appeared as a sovereign nation on the map of the world, he openly rejected the prevailing economic system as having failed to do justice between man and man and to eradicate friction from the international field.

THE ROLE OF SYED ALI HAMDANI IN THE REFORMATION OF BALTISTAN SOCIETY: A HISTORICAL AND ANALYTICAL REVIEW
No full textThis study explores the role of Syed Ali Hamdani in the reformation of Baltistan society, tracing his profound influence on the region\u27s religious, cultural, and socio-political landscape. Syed Ali Hamdani, a revered Sufi scholar and missionary of the 14th century, played a pivotal role in introducing Islam to Baltistan, shaping its spiritual and societal structure. His teachings and missionary work laid the foundation for Islamic practices, leading to the gradual transformation of the local population from their earlier religious beliefs to Islam. His successors, including Syed Muhammad Noor Bakhsh and Mir Shamsuddin Iraqi, further propagated his teachings, solidifying Islamic influence in the region.
The research provides a historical and analytical review of Hamdani’s contributions, highlighting his establishment of mosques, Khanqahs, and educational institutions that became centers for religious learning and governance. His emphasis on Sufi principles of justice, morality, and spiritual enlightenment significantly altered the cultural and ethical framework of Baltistan. Additionally, the study examines the socio-political changes triggered by his influence, including the rise of Islamic jurisprudence and governance models that reshaped the traditional structures of power in Baltistan.
By drawing from historical manuscripts, local traditions, and scholarly works, this paper underscores the lasting impact of Syed Ali Hamdani\u27s efforts in shaping Baltistan’s identity. His role in promoting literacy, economic self-sufficiency, and social harmony through Islamic teachings remains a cornerstone of the region’s historical evolution. The study concludes that his legacy continues to be a defining element of Baltistan’s cultural and religious heritage, with his teachings still resonating in contemporary religious and social practices
