The workshop was held in School of Chemical and Materials Engineering (SCME) and globally re- nowned speakers were invited as panelists to share their experi- ence and ideas on IP. Mr. Hasan Irfan Khan, from Irfan & Irfan Attorneys at Law sup- ported the implementation of IP philosophy in Pakistan, and stressed that these were not just paper concepts but economies such as China, Indonesia and India had implemented them and achieved results. “By ensuring protection of IP rights we will ac- tually be strengthening National Security in Pakistan,” Mr. Khan reiterated. Ms. Jennifer Ness of the United States Patent & Trademark Office pointed out that the founding fathers of US themselves identified IP rights as the key to their country’s growth and they decided to implement it via supporting the growth of arts and sciences. She briefed the audience on types of US patents, steps to apply for one, and stages of application processing among other things. Ms. Bernice B. Donald, a Federal Judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit spoke on trademarks and how they protected brands, patent protection idea, geographic marks and copyrights. She highlighted the significance of protect- ing integrity of the market place and investments via trade mark- ing. In the Q&A session, points were raised on academic/published material distribution in universities in reply to which speakers stressed on the importance of adopting a holistic approach to solve problems of privacy infringements by educational insti- tutes. In the end CLDP organizers thanked NUST for its hospital- ity and Director Innovation and Commercialization Engr. Salman Absar presented NUST shields to the guest speakers. Workshop on How Engineering could Transform Pakistan-PDC Professional Development Center (PDC), a constituent of NUST Institute of Leadership in Education (NILE) organized a training workshop on ‘How Engineering Could Transform Pakistan’. The event was held in PDC Executive Center, CIE building on September 4. The training was conducted by Prof. James Trevelyan from the University of Western Australia. Dr. James has been associated with NUST since the year 2000 and has played a vital role in strengthening academia linkages between the two universities. Pro Rector (P&R) Engr Muhammad Shahid was the chief guest on the occasion. The essence of the workshop was to target engineering faculty and instill in them the importance of best engineering practices that transform students to learners and faculty to teachers. Since engineers are the backbone of a country, this workshop worked towards social, economic as well as cultural progression. Prof. James discussed his work on engineering practices, al- lowing the participants to understand how engineering services in the developed countries seem to cost so much more than they should, often much more than industrialized countries. HOD-Department of Engineering Education Research (DEER), Dr. Qaiser Hameed, re-affirmed this by saying, “NUST is an engineering institute and its students are the eventual product. We don’t want to teach math, we want to optimize the solutions. We don’t just teach subjects, but their integration.” HIGHLIGHTS NUSTNEWS / SEPTEMBER 2013 7 IGIS student intern in Switzerland Muhamamad Mateen Mahmood, student at Institute of Geographical Information Systems (IGIS), SCEE was se- lected for a two-month fully funded internship at Swit- zerland’s École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL, Lausanne). EPFL is the 18th top-ranked engineer- ing research and teaching institution that attracts some of the best intellects in the world.

  • 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)].

  • Effectiveness of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Health-Related
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Effectiveness of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Health-related Quality of Life in Patients with Myocardial Infarction in Pakistan Zia Ul-Haq1,4, Daud Khan1, Aliya Hisam2, Yasar Mehmood Yousafzai1, Shazia Hafeez3, Fatima Zulfiqar3, Adnan Mahmood Gul3, Mohammad Hafizullah1 and Jill Pell4 1Institute of Public Health & Social Sciences, Khyber Medical University, Peshawar, Pakistan 2Department of Community Medicine, Army Medical College, National University of Medical Sciences, Rawalpindi, Pakistan 3Department of Preventive Cardiology, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan 4Institutes of Health & Wellbeing, University of Glasgow, UK ABSTRACT Objective: To find out the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation in patients with myocardial infarction in Pakistan. Study Design: Randomised controlled trial. Place and Duration of Study: Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan, from July to December 2016. Methodology: Patients suffering first myocardial infarction (MI) were randomly allocated to usual care or cardiac rehabilitation in a 1:1 ratio. Cardiac rehabilitation comprised two phases: 1-2 weeks during hospital stay followed by 6-7 weeks outpatient structured exercise programme. Two generic health related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes (General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Self-Rated Health (SRH)) and one post-MI specific tool (MacNew QLMI) were measured at baseline and at 8 weeks follow-up among both groups. Lower SRH and GHQ scores and higher MacNew QLMI scores indicate better health status. Data were analysed using STATA 14. Results: Out of 206 participants, 195 (94.6%) were analysed at the end of trial. The mean age was 53 +8.3 years. In the cardiac rehabilitation group, the mean SRH score changed from 3.97 +0.9 at baseline to 2.36 +0.8 at follow-up (p<0.001).

Methodology: Sprague Dawley male rats, 30 in quantity were chosen and 10 animals each partited into 3 groups. Treatments were given for 8 weeks, once daily. Group A was control group. Group B was treated with dosage of 30 mg/kg of Lead acetate. Group C was given dosage of 30 mg/kg of Lead acetate as well as 80 mg/kg of Ficuscarica. Twenty four hours after the concluding dose, animals were vivisected. For histological study, testis were fixed and stained with Haematoxylin and eosin. Interstitial connective tissue space thickness was morphometrically and assessed by SPSS version 22. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant in results. Results: Interstitial space thickness was significantly increased due to inflammation (>3 times normal) in group B in compa- rison to groups A and C.
