This study was an effort to find out the relationship of emotional intelligence with social anxiety and social competence of adolescents. The study was carried out at Ibne Sina College and SICAS. A sample of 130 adolescents between the ages of 14-16 years was randomly selected. Emotional quotient inventory youth version (EQi- YV) by Baron, Kutcher Social Anxiety Disorder Scale for Adolescents (K-GSADS-A) and Measures of Adolescence Social Performance (MASP) were used to find out the emotional intelligence, social anxiety and social competence respectively. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as independent samples t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results showed that girls experience more social anxiety as compared to boys. Further analysis revealed a negative correlation between emotional intelligence and social anxiety, a positive relation between emotional intelligence and social competence and a negative relation between social anxiety and social competence of both boys and girls.
Authentic leadership is relatively a new concept. Extant literature puts forward the notion of authenticleadership as important trajectory of leadership in organizations. George (2004) argues that"leadership begins and ends with authenticity". It is well established in literature that good leadership isessential for effective and better performing schools (Pashiardis, 2000). This paper argues that in thecontext of education authentic leadership is more important as it has the same set of values asdemocratic education.Objectives of the StudyThe main objectives of the study are:1. To investigate the pattern of authentic leadership in schools in a developing country like Pakistan.2. To propose a model for effective school leadership in to promote democratic practice in schools
The current study was designed to explore the factors causing social anxiety among middle school children. A qualitative research design was used to answer the research questions of the present study. A sample of 30 mothers of middle school children was selected purposefully from different schools of Lahore Pakistan. Data were analyzed by conducting thematic analysis using an inductive technique. Results of thematic analysis generated four main themes including parental factors, school factors, family context, and child’s characteristics accompanied by different subcategories. It was concluded that many underlying factors strengthen social anxiety among middle school children. All of these factors are associated with Parents, family, school, and child’s characteristics that require special attention of professionals.
V arious companies use different emblems for marketing their cosmetic products. These are incorporation of antibacterial and more importantly ecofriendly agents in cosmetic products etc. Admiration from others and looking beautiful are important factors that builds self-confidence, Abstract | Sodium Alginate (SA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) have earned industrial recognition due to its biocompatible nature. Traditionally, Musa Acuminata (MA) and Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis (HRS) leaves famous for its medicinal value as they contain phytochemicals such as triterpenoids, polyphenols, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Keeping in view and get benefit from their fruitful properties the aim of the study was to develop antibacterial dry sheet nanofiber mask loaded with leaf extracts of MA and HRS as antibacterial agents in SA/PVA nanofibers through electrospinning method, which was just wet before its application. Leaf extracts were used at three concentration levels (0.5, 1, and 1.5 %). Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images confirmed the formation of optimized nanofibers with diameter range from ±49 to ±545 nm. It was observed that addition of leaf extract increased the solution conductivity and decrease the surface tension and viscosity. Chemical reactions and presence of functional groups of SA, PVA, HRS and MA were studied by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Crystallinity decreased as the SA and leaf extract loaded into the PVA nanofibers as studied through X-ray diffraction (XRD). SAMA nanofibers exhibited highest antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (gram positive bacteria) than Escherichia coli (gram negative bacteria), while SAHRS nanofibers showed moderate value against both bacteria. It was concluded that prepared antibacterial nanofiber cosmetic mask has an excellent application in medical cosmetic industry.
This study was designed to explore teachers’ perception about educational accountability in their job. The main objective of the study was to identify teachers’ perception about educational accountability in their job. This study was based on the job demands-resources models and results from previous studies. Researcher employed a cross-sectional survey research. The sample of this study were 375 elementary school teachers for quantitative data collection drawn from total population of district Lahore and Kasur through Taro Yamane’s formula. Furthermore, 18 participants for qualitative data collection. Proportionate stratified random sampling was used to select sample of 375 respondents from two districts Lahore and Kasur for quantitative data collection. Quantitative data was statistically analyzed through SPSS version 15 by using descriptive statistics (Mean, ranges, and standard deviation). Quantitative findings revealed that teachers’ had positive perception about educational accountability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
