The first edition was sent to all the HEC recognized universities in Pakistan, and received very warmly by all quarters. The Talloires Network also highlighted it prominently in their monthly newsletter. It was a moment of collective pride and a great achievement for the chapter. The current edition of the newsletter goes a step further and includes community service activities from no less than twenty-five of our prestigious member institutions. Our nar- rative starts with a brief coverage of the Steering Committee Meeting held in August 2014, in which the level of progress achieved by the network and agenda points for the way for- ward were shared. PCTN’s plan to hold its Annual VCs’/ Rec- tors’ Conference and Seminar on Civic Engagement in Spring 2015 was also discussed in the meeting. Member universities are welcome to give suggestions on points that should be a part of the conference. I am excited to share a new initiative by PCTN to connect member universities for community service seminars/ work- shops and other related activities taking place in their respec- tive campuses. Six universities have already participated in the workshops and activities held at NUST in September 2014. We look forward to more member institutions inviting students/ faculty of other institutions to participate with them in civic engagement activities. I am grateful for the support of Chair PCTN, Engr. Muhammad Asghar (Rector NUST), the encouragement given by Chief Co- ordinator PCTN, Mr. Mahmud Bashir Bajwa, and the contribu- tions from the focal persons of all member institutions who work hard to make this newsletter a source of learning and motivation for all of us.

As the operation continues to eliminate the most dangerous threats to Pakistan, about 900,000 people of North Waziristan had to leave their homes to seek shelter at the safe places. Being aware of the fact that the internally displaced peo- ple (IDPs) are in dire need of basic life neces- sities, NUST Community Service Club (NCSC) along with NUST Administration started a fund raising campaign for the affected masses. The massive donation drive received generous contributions from both the NUST administration and the University’s alumni i.e., NUST employees and faculty donated their one day salary amounting to Rs 3.5 million; the University’s alumni contributed Rs 150,000, while the NCSC team collected Rs 1,450,000 through its robust campaign.

  • 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)].

Sunscreen has been shown to reduce the risk of certain skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. We aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of sunscreen use among medical students in Karachi. Methods A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted among 578 students from multiple medical universities in Karachi, Pakistan. The levels of use of sunscreen were recorded using a comprehensive questionnaire consisting of 29 questions. Descriptive statistics were used and p-values less than 0.05 calculated using the chi-square test were considered significant. Results A majority (n=441, 73.9%) of the participants in this study were female students. Sunscreen use was prevalent in 415 (69.5%) participants.

    NCtONGOVERNMENTALORGANIZATION ALTERNATIVES AND FRESH INITIATIVESIN EXTENSION The Aga Khan Rural Support Programme Experience Shoaib Sultan Khan* In the backdrop of the Ethiopiancrisis a few years ago, the London Economisthad sounded a note of warning to the advocatesof nongovernmentalorganizations (NGOs) taking over countrywide implementationof emergencyaid and developmentprograms and had instead urged efforts at persuading governmentsto act like NGOs. The Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP)is an experiment in demonstratinghow governmentscan launch countrysidedevelopment and extension programs in an effective and equitableway. ConceptualPackage As against the traditionalapproach of having an army of extensionworkers for delivery of services, AKRSP relies on fosteringrural cadres of extensionworkers from within the beneficiariesto undertakethe job. However, there are certain prerequisitesthat have to be put in place before the poor of the world can be helped. The most importantrequirement is fostering a frameworkof grassroots institutions.Institution building thus becomes the sine quo non for all future developmental and extension activities.
