  • Challenges and Opportunities of Multilingual Library Websites: Evidence from a Developing Country
    International Journal of Business and Management Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 8028, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 801X www.ijbmi.org Volume 1 Issue 1 ‖‖ December. 2012 ‖‖ PP.01-15 Challenges and Opportunities of Multilingual Library Websites: Evidence from a Developing Country Amir Manzoor (Management Sciences Department, Bahria University, Karachi, Pakistan) ABSTRACT: This study investigates the language barriers on library websites, analyzingdata collected from 133 library websites in Pakistan. Despite a significant increase in the number of library websites in Pakistan, the development of multilingual library websites is still in its infancy stages and doesn’t cater to the needs of diverse population of its users. The study provides first-hand findings on the multilinguality of library websites in Pakistan with a focus on challenges and opportunities arising from such websites. Implications of research along with future research directions are also discussed. Keywords––Language Barriers, Library Websites, Multilingual Websites, Machine Translation. I. INTRODUCTION Language barriers are natural in human communication. In cross border communication, these barriers not only include dominance of a particular language (e.g. English) but also the increasingly multilingual the Internet [(David Crystal 2001); (Becker 2007)]. Since beginning of the last decade, the multilinguality on the Internet has sharply increased with online content available in hundreds of languages [(Crystal 2006); (Kelsey 2011)]. This increased multilinguality has created new challenges for language barriers. In order to facilitate the multilingual users to effectively navigate, search, filter, and retrieve the multilingual content from the library websites, various stakeholders need to do collective efforts [(Dubois 1979);(Yunker 2002); (Tixier 2005); (Becker 2007); (Diekema 2012)].

  • Overview of Higher Education Commission (Hec) Support for Academia in Pakistan
    CBM-CI International Workshop, Karachi, Pakistan Dr. S. Naqvi OVERVIEW OF HIGHER EDUCATION COMMISSION (HEC) SUPPORT FOR ACADEMIA IN PAKISTAN Dr. Sohail Naqvi Executive Director Higher Education Commission (HEC) Islamabad PAKISTAN ABSTRACT: This paper presents an overview of the activities of Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan in support of the academic institutions of higher learning. During the past five years, the higher education has focused on increasing access to higher education, enhancing the quality of education imparted and research conducted in the institutions of higher learning and increasing the relevance of higher education to the socio- economic development needs of Pakistan. This has involved the launch of the massive program for development and uplift of the university sector ever witnessed in the history of Pakistan. Today more than 1500 scholars are enrolled in programs leading to a PhD at top institutions of continental Europe, China, US and other industrialized countries. As a result of enhanced enrollment in postgraduate programs in the country and the continued focus on quality, research output in top quality international journals has tripled from Pakistan and every possible support is provided to those interested in furthering the frontiers of knowledge. The unprecedented investment in physical and technological infrastructure has been accompanied by the tenure track system of appointment with market-based salaries. It is understood that for Pakistani universities to compete with their counterparts in the developing and developed world it is necessary to focus on the faculty members and students, and provide them the tools and opportunities to excel. Significant progress has been made towards this objective.

  • Evaluating India-China Tactical Military Standoff Through Strategic Lens
    1 EVALUATING INDIA-CHINA TACTICAL MILITARY STANDOFF THROUGH STRATEGIC LENS * Dr. Ahmed Saeed Minhas, Dr. Farhat Konain Shujahi and Dr. Raja Qaiser Ahmed Abstract India and China are two big neighbours by all respects, may it be geography, military might, natural resources, leading international engagements, armed forces in terms of quality, aspirations for global dominance, vibrant economy, plausible market and above all nuclear weapons states. India since its inception has not been under normal strategic relations with China. The international border between India and China has yet to be formalized and thus still termed as Line of Actual Control (LAC). In May 2020, the two sides had a face-off in Ladakh area having potential of spiralling up to uncontrollable limits, if not immediately, in future for sure. India under its hardliner nationalist political leadership is looking for regional hegemony with due American political, military and diplomatic support. India by strengthening its military infrastructure at Ladakh in Western Indian Held Kashmir (IHK) is suspected to build a jump-off point to check China-Pakistan Economic Corridor moving through Pakistani Gilgit Baltistan (GB) area. The tactical level Indo-China stand-off in Ladakh has strategic implications for South Asian peace and stability. Keywords: Kashmir, Line of Actual Control (LAC), India-China Rivalry, China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), and Strategic Stability. Introduction ndo-China bilateral relations have come to a standstill which over a period of time I had remained veiled with limited face valued engagements at different levels. Although, in the past India and China had summit level meetings having main agenda of addressing territorial disputes.

  • Sustaining Quality Annual Report 2016-17 Annual Repo R T 2 0 1 6 - 1 7 Sustaining Quality
    Sustaining Quality Annual Report 2016-17 Annual Repo r t 2 0 1 6 - 1 7 Sustaining Quality Annual Report 2016-17 Message from the Dean and Director The Institute has long had a reputation for delivering quality education. What does this rest on? For many, this rests on having admissions characterized by selectivity, teaching by discipline and examinations by integrity. These are critical aspects of quality and they stand out in a higher education environment where numerous examples can be given of the opposite. For many, the Institute’s reputation also rests on the success achieved by its graduates in their professional careers. An impressive proportion of leadership positions in Pakistan’s corporate sector is accounted for by graduates of the Institute, decade after decade. Some graduates have also achieved professional distinction in overseas jobs. Where do we stand today? I have the pleasure to report that several objective measures show that we continue to do well in terms of quality. For many years now, we have been strengthening the quality of our faculty. In FY13, we had 81 fulltime faculty of whom 34 had PhD qualifications. In FY17 we had 118 fulltime faculty of whom 65 had PhD qualifications. We have almost doubled the number of highly qualified faculty in five years. Research is internationally considered a mark of quality. The research orientation of our faculty has been rising over time. In calendar 2016, our faculty published 89 papers in journals and conference proceedings. What is more impressive is that 21 of these publications were in high-quality peer-reviewed international journals distinguished by a high rate of citation and, therefore, impact.

A deliberate release of biological agents whether by terrorist groups or individual perpetrators constitutes an immediate threat to the life and health of the people. Many biological agents can spread infectious diseases or cause illness in humans. In the 21st century, infectious diseases are the second leading cause of death worldwide. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the unsettled problems in the arena of biosecurity and health security. Moreover, the rapid development of biotechnology leads to an increased threat of biological weapons. Therefore, this article articulates how a state can effectively protect the health and life of its citizens from these threats. The main objective of this paper is to encapsulate the perilous weaknesses in existing preparedness for countering biological risks.
