NPS: A Tested Platform for Political Transformation Against Anger & Apathy in Pakistan

Political inaction is a major ‘Barrier’ to the progress of democratic values and systems in a society. It is more critical in the developing countries like Pakistan. A huge body of research on political apathy and anger in Pakistan is reporting over and over on the causes and consequences of this pathetic psychology. All that is true however, rays of hope are always there provided nations continue searching for the opportunities through scientific and rigorous research accompanied with sincerity and sense of responsibility at all the decision making levels of the state.   This paper postulates a solution model for the issue in the perspectives of Pakistan by capitalizing on the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the Instant Political Transformation of the developing countries like Egypt & Lybia. The New Public Sphere (NPS) is populated with Global Civil Society (GCS) where International Citizens are connected together 24/7 from any corner of the Global Village and involved in use of ICT for Social Activism. Pakistan now has millions of Internet and Cell-users who are the part of GCS and waiting for a ‘Trigger’ to switch from the ‘Informal Activism to Formal & Political Activism’ through NPS

Usersa Training: The Predictor of Successful eLearning in HEIs

Research reveals over and over that the successful development and use of eLearning systems in higher education institutions (HEIs) are squarely anchored on the roles of users in the development and use phases of an eLearning project. At the development level, researchers suggest that all decisions and implementation must be user-centric by constantly scanning the diversity of ever-changing user-needs. While use level requires effective user-training and then sustained technical support that is available 24/7. However, user training is central issue for the project and organizational (university) management in terms of its contents, processes and followup. This paper aims at unfolding the nature and implications of user-training in the background of eLearning practices in HEIs particularly, in developing countries like Pakistan. Extensive literature have been surveyed to bring together diverse ideas, findings and comments of researchers about the nature, problems and solutions of user-training in the background of higher education thereby reducing it into a theoretical model of user-training

Integrating Educational Technologies In Higher Education of the Developing Countries

Successful eLearning projects are reportedly dependent on the quality of integration between new technologies and the existing organizational and managerial levels. This integration is not simply connecting the cables and devices rather it has to happen at the planning, development and use levels of eProjects when creating eLearning environments. Besides considering different levels of integration, the management has to handle several issues which work as bottlenecks to successful integration practices. This paper is an effort to first unearth and then juxtapose major factors of integrating eLearning with the practices of higher education institutions (HEIs) in the developing countries like Pakistan with a view to synthesizing the results into a theoretical model

The predictors of success for e-learning in higher education institutions (HEIs) in N-W.F.P, Pakistan

The interrelationships between different perceptions and attitudes of e-Learning users are widely researched, which reveals that whatever the perception and theory of a user about the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and e-Learning environment are, the same is reflected in his/her attitude towards using educational technologies for teaching and learning. The objective of this study was to measure the relationships between the indicators (perceptions about ICTs, educational technologies, development and use of e-Learning) and the Criterion variables (problems, satisfaction and prospects) among e-Learning users in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of N-W.F.P, Pakistan. The study found the existence of strong relationships in terms of indicators explaining the dependent variables. However, the impact is different from one variable to another. 81% of Problems, 57% of Satisfaction and 23% of Prospects are explained by the Indicators. Problems are significantly explained by all four indicators, while Satisfaction has been predicted by three of the indicators (excluding Perceptions). The study found that only two indicators (Perceptions about ICTs and Educational technologies) predict the Prospects, while Development and Use do not. The surprising finding is that Prospects are not defined by the 'Existing Development and Use Practices'. Rather, their perceptions about ICTs and e-Learning tools strongly forecast the Prospects

Nutritional problems in Pakistan

The nutritional problems in Pakistan are discussed. Malnutrition is prevalent among people in Pakistan. Particularly, malnutrition in infants, leading to high infant mortality, is caused by poverty, inadequate hygienic conditions, poor maternal nutrition and lack of understanding of proper weaning diet on the part of mothers. Therefore, the improvement of educational opportunities for women is of utmost importance to combat malnutrition in Pakistan.パキスタンの栄養問題を概説した。多数のパキスタン国民、特に乳幼児の高死亡率を齎す栄養不足は貧困および不完全な衛生状態などに起因するが、とりわけ文盲率60％以上とされる教育の貧困が基本にある。乳幼児の低栄養は、妊娠中の母親の低栄養、出産後の離乳食に対する理解不足などが原因と思われる。これらの問題を解決するためには、食糧供給の改善、貧困の克服、衛生設備および知識の普及に加えて教育、特に女性教育の普及が急務である
