Message from the Vice-Chancellor

This report will provide you an opportunity to have a quick look on some of the remarkable achievements of our faculty members, research scholars, management of staff as well as students over the past year. At Quaid-i-Azam University, we are working with the vision of transforming Pakistan into a knowledge-based economy and inculcating a culture whereby solutions of our indigenous problems are provided through university research.

Our University takes pride in having the highest number of best productive scientists who are putting in their best efforts thus ensuring research excellence. The maximum number of research publications during 2010 and 2011 shows the pace of work, potential and determination of our faculty to vigorously pursue our vision, and indeed the shift in our emphasis towards a research based institution.

The other change that the reader will notice is a switch over from the departmental structure to school structure. We have now five new schools in the Faculty of Social Sciences alone where various inter- related departments, under the umbrella of a school operate to promote inter-disciplinary approach both in teaching and research in the larger interest of the institution and students. We have also tried to maintain a balance between research and teaching. For this Prof. Dr. Masoom Yasinzai purpose, we have taken our faculty through strategic planning Vice-Chancellor workshops, in order to enable them to give their hundred percent.

Over the last couple of years, induction of 70 young Assistant Professors under Tenure Track System is the real asset of this University, which will substantially contribute in the development of this institution. All the Assistant Professors have earned their PhD degrees from leading institutions and research groups abroad. Strengthening of this tier has resulted in gearing up the research productivity.

Quaid-i-Azam has taken a significant step towards internationalization by introducing dual degree program with British University which has not only helped in building the trust of the world's best universities, but has also given opportunities to our faculty and students to establish active linkages with viable research groups abroad, in addition to earning PhD degrees from west at one third of the actual cost. Our first batch of 10 young scholars from Social Sciences has already initiated this program with St. Andrews University.

Over the previous years, Pakistani higher education sector has witnessed a direct impact of the country's financial crisis. As a result, the demand in terms of financial support in our universities is increasing day by day while the national exchequer funds are shrinking at the same rate. Therefore, universities are forced to find alternate sources for revenue generation. We need to be innovative and pioneer in different areas, besides attracting philanthropists to our universities for infrastructure development. I am confident that Quaid-i-Azam University will continue to strengthen its activities to become a hub of teaching, learning, knowledge generation and dissemination.

03 Annual Report 2011

Executive Summary

The year 2011 was quite challenging for the higher education sector in general and for Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) in particular. Shrinking public exchequer and funds for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) made it difficult to achieve the set targets. Even in such a crucial situation, QAU's performance was remarkable in research productivity, development and global engagement.

In this era of innovation and technology, universities have to play a phenomenal role in nation building. Today HEIs are helping nations in socio-economic uplift and intellectual growth. At QAU we are extending services with a vision to generate new knowledge through high-quality research, and provision of international level education at affordable cost. The University is also playing its role of transforming the country into a knowledge-based economy by providing solutions through research, relevant to the national needs.

In 2011, QAU provided generous financial assistance to its students. During financial year 2010-11, the University distributed Rs. 41 million among 2318 students and some new scholarships schemes were also initiated on merit as well as need basis. Currently, 40% of the student body of QAU is beneficiary to such financial assistance.

The University has focused both on faculty and infrastructure development. Within the last two years, QAU has inducted 70 young PhDs who have recently completed their doctoral studies from technologically advanced countries. The University also provided a number of faculty development opportunities to its young teachers. Almost 75%faculty members of the University hold a PhD degree while there is a determination to achieve the target of 90% by 2020.

On the other hand, the University has successfully engaged philanthropists for the expansion of infrastructure. Establishment of Saulat Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Research is a worth-mentioning success story. Extension and introduction of new schools including the School of Politics, School of Economics, School of Management Sciences, School of Culture, School of Law, and Pharm-D Programmes are some the remarkable initiatives taken by the University.

The faculty members and scholars contributed extraordinarily for the generation of new knowledge. In 2011, the number of research publications in impact factor journals reached up to 717. In addition, QAU faculty have frequently won research grants from national and international organizations/funding agencies, which shows the presence of a vibrant community of scientists and scholars at QAU.

During the year, the University has produced 105 PhDs in Natural and Biological Sciences as well as Social Sciences. The University has been consistently producing over 100 PhDs annually providing the nation trained manpower, which is extremely vital for its development and socio-economic uplift.

Quality Assurance

Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC)

The Higher Education Commission (HEC), Pakistan has been emphasizing the importance of higher education through establishing and implementing Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs) in public and private sector universities of the country.

Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad also took this initiative in 2006 as per HEC guidelines. The basic purpose of establishing QEC is to promote the culture of quality education through self-assessment programmes that may further enhance the quality of academic standards, which will ultimately lead to improvement in students' learning, teaching environment and research capabilities.

The QEC helps in identifying the impediments, if any, to overcome these so as to enhance quality education and promoting good practices thus achieving excellence in teaching, learning and research productivity.

The cell is responsible for initiating assessment and evaluation of the programmes offered in different departments of the University. It provides necessary support to all the departments in preparing Self Assessment Report (SAR) of the academic programmes, which is an important feedback for the management to bring further improvements.

Vision

Achieving excellence in quality education environment through implementation of standardized procedures and best practices in learning and research.

QEC Aims

Quality Promotion The development of a program of activities to institutionalize a quality culture in higher education and a commitment to continuous quality improvement.

Capacity Development The development and implementation of initiatives to build and strengthen the capacity for high-quality provision at institutional, program and individual level.

Faculty Assessment Measurement of the expected outcome/performance from individual faculty member through internationally evaluated and tested procedures after having provided the requisite teaching research infrastructure and facilities.

Departmental Reviews Measurement of the performance of each Academic Department/ Institute/Center through conducting annual review based on the standard parameters set for this purpose.

Accreditation Regular assessment and review of Quaid-i-Azam University in order to ensure the quality of the teaching staff and the teaching and training provisions provided to the students.

22 Annual Report 2011

Activities of QEC in 2011

During 2011, QEC gathered information of the University departments for the year 2008-09 and submitted it to HEC. The Cell successfully met its deadlines for preparation and submission of the quarterly progress reports.

Quality Enhancement Cell initiated and coordinated the proposal about formation of MSc, MPhil and PhD admission committee and finally submitted suggestions to the Vice Chancellor’s office in the light of recommendations received from different Departments.

Throughout the year, QEC coordinated relevant activities regarding development of Program Teams in each department for carrying out Self-Assessment Process for Quality Assurance. It also coordinated the activities regarding development of Assessment Teams for carrying out Self-Assessment Process for Quality Assurance.

QEC also gathered and prepared all the relevant documents enlisted in the HEC Performance Evaluation Standards for pilot study that has been undertaken by HEC's Review Team. QEC coordinated with the departments and provided necessary assistance for preparation of Self-Assessment Reports.

Consequently SAR for 12 programs were prepared by the departments and handed over to the QEC to be submitted to HEC. A number of seminars and were also conducted during the year.

Nano Catalyst for Biodiesel Production: Energy for Future

Rapid inflation in oil prices, uncertainty in the supply of petroleum products and harmful exhaust emissions from engines has persistent concern over the future energy crisis. Due to shrinking supply, national security concerns and global climate change, Pakistan needs to focus on reducing its dependence on conventional sources of energy. Among the various possibilities of energy alternatives, biodiesel hold promise as alternative fuels for diesel engines. Biodiesel is receiving great attention for future utilization all over the world because it is renewable in nature, environmental friendly and biodegradable. Biodiesel is superior to petroleum diesel in term of flash point, ash contents, sulphur contents and aromatic contents. Biodiesel is an eco-friendly clean alternative diesel fuel produced from large number of feed stocks such as edible and non- edible oils, animal fats or waste cooking oils. We have developed a novel nano catalyst for fast track biodiesel production. The biodiesel is produced in a single step process within half an hour. The process has advantage that no side product was formed and 99% yield was obtained. The fuel properties of the biodiesel are within the ASTM standards, so it is an excellent substitute for petro diesel.

Carbon Nanotubes Doped Polymer Composites For Sports/Aerospace/Automotive and Allied Industries

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been functionalized by H2SO4:HNO3 and HNO3:H2O2 treatments. Nanocomposite materials of conducting organic polymers and CNTs were obtained by in-situ and chemical polymerization of functionalized MWCNTs and the corresponding monomer. The synthetic, morphological and electrochemical properties of PPY/CNTs, PANI/CNTs, PTh/CNTs, and PPY+PANI+PTh/CNTs nano composites were compared. The functional groups attached to the surface of MWCNTs have been confirmed by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Elemental analyses have been done by using Rutherford Back Scattering (RBS) techniques and Particle Induced X-ray emission (PIXE) by using 5MV Pelletron Tandem Accelerator. The samples were heat treated at high temperature to get the samples free from impurities.

The properties of these samples have been characterized using particle size analyzer, X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscope (EDX), and Thermo Gravimetric/Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/ DTA). Dielectric properties including dielectric constant, dielectric loss and electrical properties like conductivity were measured by LCR-meter. AC and DC conductivities have been measured by using 2-probe and 4-probe methods. TGA results showed the enhancement in thermal stability of the polymers by the addition of MWCNTs. Electrical conductivity is also considerably increased with the addition of MWCNTs in polymers. Frequency dependent AC conductivity was found to follow the universal Power Law. Dielectric studies of the nano composites also exhibited significant increase in dielectric constant and loss factor with the addition of MWCNTs in the composites which has been attributed to hopping of p electrons in the MWCNTs.

Nanomaterial and process for the production of biofuel from water hyacinth

There different studies were performed for the production of biofuels from water hyacinth (Eichhorniacrassipes). In first study the water hyacinth was converted to bioalcohol and hydrocarbons using nano particles at room temperature. In second study, water hyacinth was converted in bioethanol and acetic acid by using biocatalyst. In the third study, nano photocatalyst was used to convert 10 g of fresh water hyacinth into 4L of methane. The technology could be scaled up for production of alternative fuel using nano particles.

Nullah Water Purification using Nano Composite

There's no doubt that water is important as we humans not only use it just about every day, but every living thing needs it to live. We get water form the Earth as we know it, and it covers over 70% of the Earth. The importance of water is clear to us in many ways, and we can't overlook it. Water pollution is a major global problem which requires ongoing evaluation and revision of water resource policy at all levels. According to Nature (2010), about 80% of the world's population (5.6 billion in 2011) lives in areas with threats to water security. According to a 2007 World Health Organization report, 1.1 billion people lack access to an improved drinking water supply, 88% of the 4 billion annual cases of diarrheal disease are attributed to unsafe water and inadequate sanitation and hygiene, and 1.8 million people die from diarrheal diseases each year. Our goal is to bring a very efficient and effective method for purification of polluted water. We have developed a nano composite for purification of polluted water. Polluted Nullah water was collected from the industrial area, which was then treated with nano composite particles under the sunlight irradiation followed by treatment with antibacterial nano particles. The resulting water fulfill WHO standards and can be use for drinking purpose.

Commercial use of indigenously produced Enzymes in Poultry Feed

Cellulase and protease were produced from indigenous species of Trichoderma and Bacillus, reapectively. These were added in crude form (cell free fermentation supernatant) in ascending doses and also as cocktail, in the boiler feed. The respective supernatant of the production media contained 15000 IU of protease and 3000 IU of cellulose per ml. Best growth performance was observed in treatment groups supplemented with 4.8×104 IU of cellulase/Kg followed by mixture of 3×104 IU protease + 2.4×104 IU of cellulose. The enzymes were also capable of reducing ingesta viscosity. Vent pasting was alleviated in treatment groups which was quite evident in control.

Commercial Viability of Indigenously produced L-lysine from Corynebacterium in Poultry Feed

An indigenous strain of Corynebacteriumglutamicum was identified on the bases of 16SrRNA and LysC gene sequence along with its biochemical characterization. Phylogenetic analysis revealed it to be very close to other industrially important Corynebacterium sp., known for L-lysine production. High temperature limit tolerance tests for growth and amino acid production showed that the bacterium was capable of producing extra cellular glutamine and L-lysine at 370C. A homoserine auxotroph mutant resistant to AEC was capable of producing L-Lysine up to 25g/l of fermentation medium at 30 0C in jar fermentor. Sugarcane molasses, corn starch liquor and corn starch hydrolsate were found as satisfactory local raw material for carbon and nitrogen source. Feeding of L-lysine enriched fermentation broth (sugar cane molasses based) to broiler chicks as a substitute to crystalline L-lysine showed great potential for its use in the poultry feed.

Making Environment Friendly leather

Leather industry is one of the largest industrial sectors contributing significantly to the national GDP. Number of tanneries in the country has increased from 520 in 1999 to 720 at present (2010). Currently all leather treatment processes are limited to the chemical use due to cost effectiveness but they are health hazardous and posses significant threat to the ecosystem. Pakistan is major country for utilization of enzymes in leather industry, and there is great need of production of cost-effective enzymes to meet the requirement for industrial sector to minimize environmental deterioration caused by toxic chemicals produced by leather industries. In this project, the use of chemicals was minimized/replaced with microbial enzymes making this process environmental friendly. Methods for the extraction of valve added products from solid tannery waste are also developed.

DDS proved to be quite efficient in terms of reduction of; COD (80 – 95%), BOD (75 – 85%), turbidity (100%) of WW. Furthermore, it helped in stabilization of pH and mineral content of WW. Maximum results (COD reduction 95%, BOD reduction 85%) were noticed at a HRT of 9 days under mesophilic temperature (25oC) condition. Significant reduction in microbial count was noticed by the end of treatment at high temperature (45oC). Overall, the indicated the used of domestic waste water for irrigation after treatment.

Environmental Friendly Biodiesel from NON Edible oil seed plants

Environmental pollution and diminishing supply of fossil fuels are the key factors leading to search for the alternative sources of energy. Biodiesel is renewable transport fuel generally obtained from oil seed plants and is used as alternative fuel in diesel engine. The main hurdle to commercialization of biodiesel is cost of raw material. The high value of edible oils a food product makes production of a cost effective fuel very challenging. To overcome these hurdles non-edible inexpensive low grade seed oils with valve added byproducts is of utmost importance to make biodiesel production economical.

The application and commercialization of biodiesel and byproducts can overcome energy crisis and can be effectively utilized in following sectors.

Development of Online Admission System

The Online Admission Application System allows QAU to receive applications through the website in order to avoid collecting physical forms. Candidates are required to visit the QAU official website to know the eligibility criteria, no. of seats, selection criteria etc. Candidates are required to fill in the online admission form and submit it online. On successful submission of the application the candidate receives a unique form no. against which he / she is required to make the payment of the application form. Merit list of eligible candidates are generated through the application and published on the admission website. The Online Admission Application System can also be programmed to electronically notify candidates about the outcome of the admission process.

Since the candidates information is entered by the candidates and this helps to reduce turnaround time for the entire admission process. This saves a lot of time and effort on the part of the University as well as for the candidates. Moreover, the merit list of admitted students is generated automatically by the application, ruling out any chance of foul play. In this case only the deserving candidates get admission to the University.

QAU facilitates online admission process for undergraduate courses, post graduate courses, M.Phil and PhD progammes and this online admission application system has received widespread acclaim from students, academics and guardians. The Online Admission System integrates technology with the administrative/education process and is advantageous for both the University and the students alike. It acts as a new success factor in addition to traditional sources of advantages.

Online system can be accessed throughout the University and outside as well with proper login provided. Previously student details were entered manually. The student details in separate records are tedious task. As referring to all these records and updating there were chances for more manual errors. Online admission system automates the process carried out with improved performance and realizes the vision of paperless admission such as managing relevant details of large number of students registered for different courses, creating student accounts and maintains the data effectively and reducing the workload in the final selection of admission process. The online Admission system has also significantly assisted in activities like updating, modification, deletion of records as it has made easier activities such as:

?To reach geographically scattered students ?To communicate with all the students effectively ?To handle the date in a centralized way ?To share the data with all the concerned departments ?To reduce the manpower needed to perform the entire admission and administration task by reducing the paper work needed. ?To effectively reducing the cost involved in the admission process ?To develop the operational efficiency of the entire admission process of different programmes offered at QAU

Department of Earth Sciences

The Department of Earth Sciences was established in 1973 to produce qualified and trained manpower in specialized areas of Geophysics, Hydrogeology, and Geology. This was considered essential in view of expanding programmes of exploration of natural resources, particularly for oil and gas, minerals, groundwater resource evaluation, groundwater contamination, GIS and remote sensing, and numerical groundwater flow and transport modeling (computer modeling).

Further areas of priority are Earthquake Seismology, Geophysical well logging of the water, oil and gas wells, environmental studies, and crustal studies. This Department was the only teaching institute in Pakistan since 1973, which awarded M.Sc. degree in Geophysics. Our graduates have proved their worth in national and international companies and are engaged in exploring and production activities, and also have contributed towards the establishment of research/development programmes in many organizations.

The Department is running M.Sc. (morning and evening), M.Phil.. and Ph.D. programs. Having laboratories that are equipped with latest instruments and related software, the department has produced leading geophysicists and hydrogeologists who have been serving within and outside the country.

Our department has produced more than 450 graduates in Geophysics who are working in OGDCL, WAPDA, FATA, SDA, Punjmin, Schlumberger, Landmark, ENI Pakistan, OMV, Orient Petroleum, Petronas Carigali, POL, PPL, Premier Oil and several other national and international organizations.

The department also organizes special lectures, seminars, and courses with support from various agencies like OGDCL, etc and invites eminent scientists/experts from oil, water, and mineral industries. Besides, visits are arranged to oil fields, oil and gas drilling sites, groundwater monitoring sites, dams/observatories and different mines.

The M.Phil. and Ph.D. program in Geophysics, Hydrogeology and Geology are also being actively conducted under the sponsorship of HEC. With the availability of HEC fellowships for higher education, strength of our M.Phil.. and Ph.D. students have been increasing enormously. Ninety-nine percent of Ph.D. scholars are receiving funding from HEC and working under the supervision of HEC approved supervisors.

Presently, 56 students are enrolled in M.Phil. and 10 in Ph.D. Most of these scholars are from various national organizations and doing research in various disciplines. The M.Phil.. and Ph.D. degrees are offered in Geophysics, Hydrogeology and Earthquake Seismology.

Abstract:

Modular group PSL(2,Z) has a long and rich history. Its usefulness is well established. A foundation for the coset diagrams for the modular group was laid in the doctoral thesis of Qaiser Mushtaq in 1983. In this short communication, we intend to survey the results emerged due to the use of coset diagrams for the actions of PSL(2,Z) on suitable spaces.

Department of Statistics

The first-ever admission to M.Sc. Statistics programme was made in January 1994 under the umbrella of the Department of Mathematics with only three regular faculty members in the department of Statistics. Within a few years, the Statistics graduates from this University were proving their statistical skills for employers. The Department of Statistics was formally commissioned in January 2001. At present, though there are only nine faculty members but they have wealth of teaching experience and ability to conduct independent research. The Department has also been offering M.Phil. and Ph.D. programs since Fall Semester 2003.

Apart from producing graduates having sound theoretical background in Statistics, the emerging fields are special features of curricula of this Department. The students passing out are well equipped with the knowledge of Quality Control and Quality Management, Survey Research Methods, Population Studies, National Accounts, Experimental Designs, and Computer Packages etc. Regular visits of our students to different organizations using/producing statistics provides them with hands-on experience.

A large collection of books both on theoretical and Applied Statistics is available in the central library. To cater for the needs of faculty and researchers, the department regularly contributes to 10-13 international journals. This number is likely to increase in the near future. The department has a well-equipped computer laboratory housing 40 PCs loaded with latest statistical software.

The department also provides statistical consultancy service to researchers of other disciplines in the university such as Biological Sciences, Psychology and Anthropology. Researchers from outside agencies such as National Agriculture Research Centre, Federal Bureau of Statistics (FBS), National Institute of Population Studies and Pakistan Institute of Medical Science are regular clients receiving free expert advice on their research problems. This center is envisaged to provide paid consultancy service to and conduct surveys for various national and international organizations working in Pakistan.

Department of Anthropology and Sociology

The department of Anthropology at QAU has the distinction of being the first and as of now, the only separate and independent Department in the country. Due to the efforts of Prof. Dr. Ahmad Hassan Dani, it was established in 1974 under a programme of collaboration with the Universities of Pennsylvania (USA) and Heidelberg (Germany).

The faculty envisions to strengthen and enhance the existing teaching and research program in the department and to upgrade it at par with the international academic standards by adopting a process of accreditation from globally recognized entities, prepare scholars and graduates in the field of Social Anthropology and to add up to the human recourse and help foster think tanks for national and international organizations requiring ideas and advice on issues related to Social Sciences and particularly about Social Anthropology.

The department was offering Master's degree since its inception. From September 2002, the department expanded its academic programmes and initiated the classes of M.Sc. (self-finance), M.Phil. and Ph.D. At present there are 214 M.Sc., 46 M.Phil. and 27 Ph.D. students as the M.Phil and Ph.D. Enrollment in the department has increased manifold. A large number of government and non-government organizations are being contacted for research collaboration.

The department is actively involved in research activities. Higher Education Commission (HEC) and British Council Islamabad have awarded some research projects to the Department.

Taxila Institute of Asian Civilizations (TIAC)

In 1967, QAU was authorized by the Ministry of Education, Government of Pakistan, to establish a Centre for the Study of Civilizations of Central Asia in order to cooperate with UNESCO as a participating member representing Pakistan in its program on Central Asia. In UNESCO, there was proposal to expand the scope of the Centre and make a comparative study of the civilizations of Asia.

With the consent of the Government of Pakistan, QAU accepted the proposal and accordingly the name of the Centre was changed to Taxila Institute of Asian Civilizations (TIAC). The syndicate of the University approved the project, thus accepted the TIAC as a constituent part of the University and permitted it to enrol students for M.Phil.and Ph.D. programs. Accordingly, TIAC got approved its courses for M.Sc., M.Phil. and Ph.D. in 2010 and enrolled students in all the three programmes in 2010-2011.

The whole objective of the TIAC is now changed from the history given above in regard to its predecessor, Center for the Study of the Civilizations of Central Asia. Earlier, the Centre was primarily concerned with Central Asia while the focus of theTIAC is on the comparative studies of the civilizations of entire Asia. Earlier the focus was mainly on seminars, conferences and contacts with Central Asia which culminated in the production of the history of Central Asia.Now the focus is on field work.

The Department is providing teaching and research facilities in various Animal Science disciplines like Physiology, Endocrinology, Developmental Biology/Embryology, Reproductive Physiology, Parasitology, Genetics, Fisheries and Aquaculture. All faculty members are PhDs and have formal post-doctoral training. The Department offers M.Sc. (Zoology), M.Phil. and Ph.D. degree programmes. M.Sc. and M.Phil. students are admitted in each semester (Spring and Fall) while Ph.D. scholars are generally enrolled annually. Presently, there are 108 M.Sc., 80 M.Phil. and 25 Ph.D. students enrolled in the Department.

Since its establishment, 226 M.Sc., 116 M.Phil. and 17 Ph.D. students have completed their studies from the Department. The Department also has a post-doctoral training program and one fellow has completed the training. Graduates of the Department have a very good reputation and they figure well in their employment efforts. Mostly M.Sc. graduates go into teaching at college level in public and private institutions. M.Phil and Ph.D graduates are often employed in leading bioscience research institutes.

Well equipped core labs and specific research labs are available for M.Phil. and Ph.D students in the Department. Core laboratory facilities include transmission electron microscope, HPLC, atomic absorption photometer, thermocyclers, tissue culture instrumentation (laminar flows, incubators, microscopes), scintillation and gamma counters and Elisa plate readers. The Department has a small Animal Facility and a Fish laboratory for carrying out experimental studies on laboratory rodents, primates and fish. A unique feature of the facility is maintenance and experimentation on non-human primates. Rhesus macaques are housed in special hand-squeezed cages and are used in reproductive physiology and neuroendocrinology research. The Animal Facility has a surgical suite for carrying out surgical and specific sampling procedures on various animal models. The Department has regular research ties with institutions like, PARC/NARC, National Institute of Health, Nuclear Institute of Agriculture and Biology, and National Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering.

Department of Bioinformatics is offering M.Phil and Ph.D programs in the area of Bioinformatics. The major goal of the department is to promote quality training and research. Bioinformatics originated as a cross-disciplinary field as the need for computational sections to research problem raised in biomedicine. The field evolved as computation became cheaper and widespread during the 80s, as the internet grew during the 90s, and as high throughput technologies become common in the 2000s. The use of computational methods in biomedicine deals with the analysis, storage, manipulation and interpretation of macromolecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins. Conversely, wet lab analysis of computationally predicted functionally relevant motifs/segments of macromolecules further enhances our understanding of complex mechanisms occurring in cells.

Research Project: R & D Overview

Projects Completed/Newely Launched

A project is being run in joint partnership between National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i- Azam University and UNDP under the title "Provision of Psycho-social counseling to monsoon flood affectees in selected districts of Pakistan". The ideology is to create psychological experts that are ready to go into field for interventions with flood affectees. The finer idea is to develop a referral system that can be activated under the banner of UNDP whenever the nation is afflicted with disaster. For this NIP has been entrusted with the task of creating psychosocial experts in all the provinces of the country. It is the intention of the project to train graduates of psychology from various psychology departments of public sector universities of all provinces to serve as the psychosocial expert. 39 participants belonging to the University of Baluchistan, Quetta; University of Sindh Jamshoro, Islamia University, Bahawalpur, University of Peshawar and from Azad Jammu & Kashmi were given a five day extensive training.

During the first phase of this project, NIP has conducted a need assessment study in the selected districts to record information on psycho-social issues of the communities including, children, adolescents, women, elderly and disabled. The report will be published soon. Later TOT workshop was carried out as the second phase to build the capacity of internees. Following this, the participants will intern in selected Emergency Response NGOs for a period of 2 months. During the internship, the internees will build capacity building of at least 20 NGOs, hold psychoeducation session, collect quantitative data, case studies and will develop referral system for serious cases. It is hoped the participants have a good learning

295 Annual Report 2011

experience during the workshop and feel ready to become part of the NGOs working in the affected communities and will utilize their skills effectively. In phase III, all the interns submit their final reports to NIP. NIP will submit a consulted project completion report to UNDP with clearly identified recommendations and will design a curriculum. The resource person of this TOT workshop was Prof. Dr. Anila Kamal, Ms. Raiha Aftab, Ms. Sohema Tahir and Mr. Naeem Aslam.

Construal Level Analysis of Pro and Re-Active Aggression: A Cross-Cultural Approach Dr Rubina Hanif (Assistant Professor, NIP is contributing as co-researcher in this project with Pahlavan, F. (France), Smith, P.K. (UK), Sakuradani, M. (JAPAN).,and Ucanok, Z. (Turkey); sponsored by: Guggenham, France

The Objectives of present project are to evaluate relationships between the level of belief in a just world and the construal level of aggressive strategies, and analyze their effects on the individuals' affective and behavioral rationalized choices in young adolescents from a collectivist vs. individualist culture-type. Data collection from Pakistan has been completed and submitted to 1st author. The compiled report will be available in few months.

National Institute of Pakistan Studies

Pakistan Studies, like most area studies, came into being after the 1971 crisis. The political upheavals of the country led the ruling elite and the intelligentsia to the conclusion that there was an urgent need to study Pakistani society in a manner that would contribute to national cohesion and strength. The first consequence of such ideas was the establishment of the Department of Pakistan Studies in 1973 at the University of Islamabad, now known as Quaid-i-Azam University. Later, an act of Parliament, passed in 1976, provided for the establishment of several Pakistan Studies centers in various universities of the country and the National Institute of Pakistan Studies in the Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. The Institute started functioning in 1983.

Vision

The National Institute of Pakistan Studies facilitates the study of languages, literature, economy and political and social structure. Located at the federal university where region-wise quota is observed for admissions, the NIPS provides an ideal platform for the understanding of cultural diversity across Pakistan and to create cohesion among various segments of the community.
