Published: December 2020

O TiO2 é o semicondutor mais estudado em fotocatálise heterogênea, no entanto, sua atividade é apenas apreciável com a irradiação UV, reduzindo sua aplicabilidade. A substituição isomórfica por metais de transição em peneiras moleculares mesoporosas MCM-41, seguida de impregnação por TiO2, tem revelado boas perspectivas de uso da luz solar. Peneiras moleculares foram sintetizadas com Cr pelo método hidrotérmico e impregnadas por TiO2. Os materiais mostraram que Cr e TiO2 estão ancorados na estrutura mesoporosa. O teste revelou uma boa atividade da peneira molecular na área visível, na degradação do azul de metileno.

Published: December 2020

Bu çalışma göç etmek zorunda bırakılan Afgan kökenli öğrencilerin uyum durumlarına göre yaşadıkları sorunları ve bu sorunları mülteci öğrencilerin çizdiği resimler yardımıyla okula uyum durumlarının incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. İnsanlar tarih boyunca farklı nedenlerden dolayı göç etmek zorunda bırakılmıştır. Afganistan’da yaşanan sorunlar ve halkın daha iyi yaşam koşullarını elde etme çabaları Afgan halkını göç etmeye zorlamıştır. Bu yüzden göç en çok çocukları etkilemiştir. Afganistan’dan Türkiye’ye göç eden mültecilerin en temel nedenleri; işsizlikten kaynaklı bir dizi ekonomik problemlerin yanı sıra, ülkede güvenli bir ortamın hakim olmayışı, göçün yaşanmasında önemli faktörlerdendir. Araştırma Türkiye’nin Kırşehir ilinde gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Örneklemi 2017-2018 eğitim öğretim yılında Kırşehir ili Merkez İlçesinde öğrenim gören 3-6 yaş grubu 48 Afgan mülteci öğrenciyi kapsamaktadır. 24 okul öncesi öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Mülteci öğrencilerin çizmiş oldukları resimler sonucunda öğrencilerin resimleri yaparken karamsarlık ve korkuları temsil eden renklerin ağırlıkta kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Bu durumun çocukların çoğunun iç dünyalarında karmaşalar ve korkular yaşadıklarını gösterdiği söylenebilir. Resimlerde, çocukların tamamına yakını yalnızca kendilerini çizmiş olup bu durum kendilerini dış dünyadan soyutladıklarını gösterdiği söylenebilir.

Derecho a la Maternidad de Mujeres Privadas de la Libertad en México
Authors: Martínez Martínez Lorena , Cantero Ramírez Margarita , Guzmán Díaz José Cruz
Published: December 2020

La vida diaria de mujeres privadas de la libertad en centros penitenciarios en México ha sido poco abordada en relación a las condiciones de bienes y servicios a su alcance en el tiempo que compurgan su pena, asimismo prevalece una falta de adecuación de estos centros para atender las necesidades específicas del sexo femenino y garantizar sus derechos humanos. En este sentido se analizó el derecho a la maternidad de estas mujeres desde sus experiencias recuperadas a partir de una revisión de literatura, análisis de instrumentos jurídicos y datos estadísticos de la Encuesta Nacional de Población Privada de la Libertad y el Censo Nacional de Gobierno, Seguridad Pública y Sistemas Penitenciarios Estatales. Se encontró que este derecho está reconocido en la Ley Nacional de Ejecución Penal, pero se vulnera en el sistema penitenciario al no cubrir en su totalidad las necesidades particulares por lo que es necesario fortalecer políticas públicas en el tema.

Knowledge and Attitude on Halal Food and Islamic Eating Practices among Students of Universiti Malaysia Sabah
Authors: Latif Mariam Abdul , Ab. Rahman Suhaimi
Published: December 2020

The preservation of future generation and the protection of consumer welfare is a priority in view of the incremental negative behaviours existing in today’s societies at large. The study involved 414 respondents through convenience sampling by using questionnaires. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25. This study highlighted that family is the main reference for source of information on halal food products followed with the internet and lecturer. All faculties at UMS has high level of knowledge about the concept of Halal and Haram in halal food, followed with Islamic law on halal food and beverages. This is maybe due to courses on halal and haram foods being offered at various faculties in UMS. Although the majority of respondents has high level of knowledge on halal food but the practices of respondents consuming the sunnah food is low. This happens because the fruits such as dates, pomegranates and figs are quite expensive and not easily accessible in the city of Kota Kinabalu. The study found that the Muslim respondents have positive attitude towards halal food and eating practices whereby they will always choose halal and tayyib food whenever they want to eat and they will eat in a congregation (with friends or family) when they want to eat. The respondents have satisfactory level on Islamic eating practices such as washing hands before and after eating, saying “Bismillah” before eating and sharing food with friends, but not because it is encouraged by Islam, but because it has become a custom or a part of their daily eating practices. This happens because the Malaysian public is not familiar with eating food from Arab countries where it was a way of life for the Prophet s.a.w. Results also showed that knowledge on Halal food was significantly correlated with attitude (r=0.217; p<0.05) and practices (r=0.085; p<0.05) of the UMS students showing positive linear correlations which confirms that better knowledge can lead to positive attitude and subsequently in good practices.

Politics of Resistance in Pakistan through Progressive Poetry: A Neo-Gramscian Study
Authors: Sadia Nazir  , Dr. Mazhar Hayat Khan
Published: December 2020

The article focuses on locating the politics of resistance in Pakistan through cultural and historical experiences which are materialized through progressive stance of poets especially Faiz (1971) and Jalib (2012). The basic theoretical standpoint of present research paper is Neo-Gramscian in nature. Politics of resistance in poetry is discussed with particular reference to authoritarian rule the Progressivists resisted against. Progressivists highlight the formation of a particular hegemonic process and resistance to it through Progressive poetry. The purpose is to bring to light certain debates by looking into the politics of resistance as counter-hegemony. Politics of resistance becomes a victim of intellectual and political hegemony created through state institutions. The methodology is new-historicist in nature which reinforces that culture and history are material realities. New Historicism evaluates literature through the social and cultural events and also the ways how these socio-cultural events help to build a larger event in creating possibilities for the making of hegemony. It aims at understanding intellectual history through literature and literature through the cultural context surrounding the historical event. The function of new-historicist is to bring home the facts which question the dominant historical functioning of text and bring to light the hidden and untold facts and stories. The basic point of departure of Neo-Gramscian study is to define the premises through which this political and intellectual stance of national politics is largely the part of Bourgeois political and intellectual framework through Progressive counter-hegemonic resistance.

Digitalizing 1947: A Postmodernist Analysis of the Shifting Faces of Communitarian Identity
Authors: Dr. Asma Aftab  , Sadia Akram  , Dr. Muhammad Asif
Published: December 2020

This paper deals with the problem of identity during and after the Partition of the Indian Subcontinent in 1947. It focuses on the portrayal of the shifting faces of communitarian identity/politics by analyzing two digital versions of this historical event – one is Mehreen Jabbar's drama-film Ramchand Pakistani and the other is the adapted version of Razia Butt's novel Bano, broadcast by a private T.V Channel with the title of Dastaan. Based on the postmodernist shift from performance to performance, our argument foregrounds the digital representation of 1947 which offers new angles to view the subaltern story(ies) vis-à-vis the official history of nationalism by showing different characters who experience a fleeing sense of identity in their attempt to cope with the trauma of displacement and violence during 1947. In this article, the textual and digital versions of 1947 are read as cultural texts which embody the human and subjective experience and perceptions of ordinary human subjects from both sides of the divide, either during the historical event of Partition as sufferers or survivors or in current scenario in the wake of the politics of mistrust between Pakistan and India. The study concludes that digitalizing the history of 1947 offers an introspective representation of myriad experiences of people and their past which is different from a retrospective illustration of official history with its nationalist certitude and xenophobia.

Published: December 2020

No doubt, the importance of English cannot be denied, but at the same time, mother tongue has also due importance concerning one's culture and understanding basic concepts at schools at primary level. This paper is an attempt to prove the importance of mother tongue as a medium of instruction at the primary level in District Bannu. The data were collected from students’ focal groups of fifty classrooms from ten schools. Two questions were asked in each subject from the focus groups to check their concept of the subject. Similarly, among the teachers, thirty respondents were interviewed in the Parents-Teachers Meeting (PTM) to find out their views about the efficacy of mother tongue instructions at the primary level. In this connection, parents were also interviewed. The results showed that among the students whose concept was clear, eighty percent of students were those who were taught in their mother tongue whereas twenty percent of students were those who were taught in English. Again, among the thirty teachers, eighty-five percent felt comfortable with teaching in the mother tongue whereas fifteen percent of teachers showed positive inclination towards teaching in a second language. Lastly, parents also felt at ease with the mother tongue instructions as they conveyed that their children go to school with zeal. Thus, mother tongue instruction proved helpful at the primary level. This study will also prove helpful to other researchers in the future for conducting similar studies in other districts.

Authors: Dr. Shaukat Ali  , Mr. Saddam Hussain  , Mr. Iftekhar Ali
Published: December 2020

This study investigates the effect of poems as language teaching materials on the discourse competence of English as a second language learners (ESL) learners. Discourse competence is one of the sub-skills of English speaking skills which has further been divided into two sub-skills called 1) organizing a coherent conversation and 2) then maintaining it. It was a quasi-experimental study consisting of a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG) from the faculty of social sciences, University of Malakand, Pakistan. They were the students of the third semester and were taught English as a minor course. Before the commencement of the experiment, the students of both groups were subjected to a speaking type pre-test. Immediately after the pre-test, the control group was taught through traditional teaching materials whereas; the treatment group was treated with poems as teaching materials. Moreover, observation field notes were employed to find out the reasons behind the performance of the students of both groups. After a six-week experiment, a post-test similar in nature to the pre-test was dispensed among the groups. The scores of the respondents of both groups were compared by using independent samples t-tests. The outcomes indicated that the learners in the treatment group scored significantly higher on the post-test than the learners in the comparison group. The observation field notes further displayed that the students of the treatment group were actively involved in the language learning process. Moreover, they associated the text of poetry with their, socio-cultural, and personal lives. Additionally, they enjoyed greater autonomy due to ambiguity and universality in the texts of the poems. The study suggests that poems should be utilized as teaching materials in ESL classrooms.

Exploring Transnational Marriages among Afghan Refugees in Quetta, Balochistan – Social Forces and Cultural Dynamics
Authors: Syed Kaleem Ullah  , Inam Ullah Leghari
Published: December 2020

Building on ethnographic fieldwork and qualitative techniques, this paper attempts to explore the mechanisms through which refugee populations maintain distinct identities through marriages as a cultural process. An examination of the cultural factors determining marriage choices among Afghan refugees in Quetta reveals how the Afghan diaspora maintains social links between the host and the home country. The cultural practices specific to Afghan refugees describe how cultural forces negotiate the demands of assimilation from the host country while maintaining distinct identities as a diaspora. These practices are framed in the debate about the place of refugees in studies on transnationalism. It comments on how social and cultural factors are equally important in determining the behavior of and towards refugees, contrasting the economic and political focus of most work done on the subject. The current study of Afghan refugees' marriage preference highlights the dynamic nature of notions about migration, imagined Diasporas, and continued connection to homeland even after generations of exile in the host country which is Pakistan.

Published: December 2020

Teaching and learning of English have been given a prominent position in the education system of Pakistan. The study aimed to evaluate the teachers’ methodology based on the activities in teaching English delimited to the government schools of Hyderabad district province Sindh. The stratified and random sampling techniques were applied to select the strata (boys & girls schools) from the taluka Hyderabad city, taluka Latifabad, and taluka Qasimabad of the district Hyderabad. The data were collected through the closed-ended questionnaire from 120 primary school teachers and the English achievement test paper from 1078 students of grade five. The results showed that the relationship between the teaching methodology and the students’ performance was significant. Therefore, an improvement in the teachers’ teaching methods can enhance the students’ performance in English. Likewise, the attitude of the teachers towards activities regarding learning English was negative.  Moreover, the test result showed that only 11% of students passed the English test with the minimum test score while 89% of students failed the test. In the end, it was suggested that the government of Pakistan should arrange in-service training to train primary level school teachers. The teachers should focus more on activities and promote learning by doing techniques.
Abdul Sattar Edhi in Politics with Atypical Ideologies
Authors: Shafiq Ur Rehman  , Dr. Rizwan Ullah Kokab
Published: December 2020

Few people know that Abdul Sattar Edhi, the renowned social worker, also tried his luck in the political field. This study draws attention to his activities in the political field. It uncovers the political style and ideologies of this future leviathan in social work to find out why and how a genuine social worker could not get a proper place in politics and did not succeed in winning the votes and support of people. Along with the analysis of his electoral contests, his political ideology has also been highlighted in this study. To arrive at its findings the study evaluates the primary as well as secondary sources employing historical methods of research. Multiple sources of primary data like the interviews, biographies, and authentic press reports helped in the formation of the needed evidence for the empirical historical research in this study. It is finally construed that Edhi’s thoughts and style of work in politics did not match with the prevailing political atmosphere and behavior. His realistic approach could not attract a following in the political field where attachment of religious sentiments with politics and deceptive slogans of political characters did not leave any space for a real social worker to succeed.

Violence, marginalization, and oppression at the hands of militants and the armed forces are common practices that have transformed the earthly paradise into hell. The plight of the people of Kashmir remained hidden from the world's eyes but in the first decade of the 21st century, many Kashmiri writers appeared on the horizon of the world literature to show the tormented picture of the valley to the world. Anglophone Kashmiri writings are characterized by the themes of violence and exploitative and coercive practices such as mass killings, disappearances, rapes, crackdowns, and uprootedness of the people. Mirza Waheed's The Collaborator is one of those dolefully poignant voices of Kashmir that tries to depict the true condition of the people of Kashmir. The present study intended to explore how the writer has portrayed the violent acts undertaken by the militants and armed forces resulting in traumatization and identity fragmentation of the oppressed masses. The multi-theoretical framework for this study was based on the power theory of Dennis H. Wrong (1995)  and trauma theories of Cathy Caruth (1996), Jeffrey C. Alexander (2012), and Judith L. Herman (2015).  These theories form a nexus and connect. The research focused on certain horrific events of the novel and traced the aspect of trauma resulting from violence, exploitation, and coercion. The findings of the study are eye-opening and add a contribution to the scarce body of research in the domain. It is a significant study because it highlights the condition of oppressed people that still need the attention of the world organizations, NGOs, and academic researchers for the alleviation of their trauma, misery, and excessive exploitation.

In Pakistan, life was running normally according to the yearly routine before the outburst of the novel COVID-19. The government had announced the closure of all educational institutes of Pakistan to avoid physical interaction due to the Pandemic outbreak. The scenario has caused the running routine to be traumatized because it pushed all the teaching to happen virtually. It was quite odd because it was a new dimension in Pakistan that needs many new skills to be imparted before its launch. Therefore, this study has been carried out to explore the teaching obstacles and to contemplate the opportunities for the future. The study examined various attributes of virtual teaching in special situations like COVID-19 in terms of pandemic impact, teaching satisfaction, workload, technical problems, mental health, readiness, collaboration, digital content, COVID-implications, and new opportunities. The questionnaire was used based on the Likert Scale. The digital form was generated and was distributed online to the target audience that was teachers from all levels of the university, college, and school. This study was significant in the sense that it explored the current teaching situation of Pakistan and predicted possible opportunities.
