“…Despite its monopoly over the resources of Karachi, other political parties and ethnic groups challenged it from time to time (Dawn, 2019). Between 2007 and 2013, more than 20,000 people were killed in this ethno-political conflict (Khan et al, 2017) which prompted the powerful military leadership to start a military action against the MQM in 2013. The party was banned and its military activities curtailed.…”

“…Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) was the most popular political party in Karachi-the economic hub and largest city of Pakistan. This party ruled the city for 30 years and was supported by military for political reasons (Yusuf, 2012), which emboldened it to set up strong militant wings having links with organized crimes (Khan et al, 2017). Despite its monopoly over the resources of Karachi, other political parties and ethnic groups challenged it from time to time (Dawn, 2019).…”

In this study, we present a contextual model for analyzing the escalatory and de-escalatory trends in media reporting of seven conflicts in Pakistan. For this purpose, we combined findings from both survey and content analysis. While the survey helped to examine the journalists’ perceptions about the security threats of conflicts and the factors that influence the reportage, the content analysis was utilized to analyze the escalatory and de-escalatory characteristics in the coverage. The findings show that high security conflicts lead to a patriotic reporting scenario that results in high escalatory coverage. There is a significant decrease in the escalatory coverage as the assumed threat level of a conflict decreases. Similarly, we found that a conflict in which journalists exercised more relative freedom from pressure groups was reported in de-escalatory fashion. These findings can be useful for strategizing for the implementation of peace journalism in Pakistan in particular and elsewhere in general.

Objective: Objectives of this study were to determine the average height, weight, BMI, BSA and LBM among the different ethnic groups that exist in population of Karachi and to determine whether these anthropometric parameters vary significantly among the ethnic groups.Methods: It was a prospective cross-sectional study that was carried out at Ziauddin University and Hospital from March 2012 to May 2014. In this study healthy volunteers aged 21 years and above were recruited. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body surface area (BSA) and lean body mass (LBM) of healthy volunteers were taken into account through the standard protocol after following inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was approved by the ethical review committee IRB and BASR committee of Ziauddin University Clifton Karachi.Results: Greatest height 169.5 ± 9.1 cm and weight 73.4 ± 15.4 kg was found in Pathans. Highest body mass index (BMI) 27.1 ± 4.3 kg/m2, body surface area (BSA)1.8 ± 0.2 m2 and lean body mass (LBM) 52.6 ± 9.6 kg was found in Hazarah group. Weight, BMI and BSA was found to vary significantly among the ethnic groups (p<0.05) while height and LBM was found to vary insignificantly among the ethnic groups. Anthropometric parameters vary significantly between the genders among all the ethnic groups. Beside BMI all the anthropometric parameters were significantly greater in males.Conclusion: Anthropometric parameters noted among the ethnic groups in Karachi were very close to the studies done in the different provinces of Pakistan. In almost all the ethnic groups, BMI males were found to have significantly greater anthropometric parameters as compare to the females.
