@Research Paper <#LINE#>Factors affecting e-government acceptance in Pakistan: an empirical investigation<#LINE#>Abdul Rahim @Chandio <#LINE#>1-8<#LINE#>1.ISCA-IRJSS-2021-024.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Public Administration, University of Sindh, Pakistan<#LINE#>15/5/2021<#LINE#>19/8/2021<#LINE#>The current study aims to explore the technology adoption and its users' perceptional approach in a public sector of Pakistan via applying the behavioral and technological antecedents. The proposed model in this study contains the constructs as perceived ease of use (PEOU), Trust in technology (TIT), social influence (SI), information quality (IQ) and employees’ behavior intention to use e-government (BI) and the concerned determinants are presumed to envisage the intentional level of public officials to use wireless technology in a Pakistan point of view. The current study follows the theoretical approach which includes the TAM and UTAUT model in order to find out the degree of the intention of employees’ to apply the innovative technology in the working atmosphere. The proposed model has been tested by an empirical means that contains the 341 samplings for data analysis of the public sector employees of (NADRA) to carry out and fill the survey questionnaires (items). The SPSS version 24 was applied to meet the final results of the concerned study and the hypotheses were tested by using the regressions and correlations. In the present study, questionnaires were distributed up to 500 among the employees of the lower and middle-rank employees at Sukkur, Larkana and Hyderabad region and the response rate remained 68.2%. The results finding in the study sought to determine that PEOU, TIT and IQ factors show the positive significant association with the behavioral intention of employees to adopt the innovative technology in the public sector. This study also includes the limitation, future recommendation, practical implications and significance in a Pakistan perceptive.<#LINE#>Haider, Z., Rahim, A., and Aslam, F.

The study has conducted on India's different state based on secondary data published by AISHE (2018) report, Government of India. The study sought to analyze India's Gender Parity and correlate its relation to India's sex ratio. The study has found an imbalance distribution of GPI among India's other states. There is a discernible difference in GPI among economically forward and backward states, general category students, S.C. and S.C. in higher education. Research has also shown that GPI has increased over the past nine years among higher education institutions. The female choice-based course (B.Ed., Nursing, M.Com, M.A., M.Sc.), where female students are substantially higher than male students, has been established. On the other hand, women's participation in such technical courses (B.C.A., B.B.A., L.L.B., B.Tech., M.Tech., M.B.A.) is abysmal. A strong negative correlation (-.64) was observed at a level of .001 between the GPI and the sex ratio.<#LINE#>Government of India (2011).@Census report.@www.census2011.co.in/sex ratio. php, Retrieved on 15.12.2020.@Yes$Hausmann, R., Tyson, L.

The assessment and evaluation were carried out among 120 leprosy patients suffering from leprosy in the Kashmir valley through adequate participation restriction scales. A comparative questionnaire was designed for two groups, Group I (for government leprosarium, Behral, Lalbazar) and Group 2 (for Kupwara, Ganderbal, Kangan and Budgam districts of Kashmir Valley). The result of the present study reveals that Grade I disability due to leprosy is higher and has the worst association with participation restriction than Grade II. In the study, it has been found that early diagnosis, effective treatment in disease and management of leprosy reaction can prevent participation restriction and are thus essential measures in preventing stigma related to it. The health services can play an important role to fight leprosy patients from the tag of stigma. The findings of the study revealed that participation restriction is directly related to the duration of the disease and has a negative correlation with education. Stigma has a significant role in aggravating the phenomena of participation restriction. Counselling through camping on Leprosy can overcome the myths related to leprosy and can abolish the roots of stigma.<#LINE#>WHO-NTD.

More especially, the history of Sokoto Caliphate and stakeholders therein. In the course of development of Sokoto Calipahte, among the famous stakeholders was the Maiturare Marafa Gwadabawa, and his popular ribat dubbed as Gwadabawa, but their historical account is very scarce. The objective of this paper was to briefly lay an account on the creation of Gwadabawa ribat, a semiemirate of the Caliphate. A search of related literatures and oral traditions was carried out to gather data. This paper describes in brief, Sarkin Musulmi Maiturare Marafa, the Gwadabawa semierate/metropolitan, district carved out from Gwadabawa and relations. Maiturare Marafa Gwadabawa was born at Chimmola in the house of Sarkin Musulmi Amadu. He was raised there and took the charge of the region after his father Amadu became Caliph. He left Chimmola and created Asara town. A few miles away from Chimmola and Asara there exists a place called Gwadabawa, the centre of Maiturare's district. After establishing Gwadabawa town, he moved further and established several main towns and minor villages at Tangaza region (in the land of Gurdam), and Gada to cover the most vast land in whole of Sokoto. This land created by Maiturare had now became Gwadabawa, Illela, Tangaza, Gada, and Gudu local government, envisages by many districts. Maiturare remained the only powerful emancipator and colonizer of the Northern Sokoto from Rima to Konni for over 35 years using his ardent teams of Azbinawa, Adarawa, Hausawa, and relations. His turbanning after successfull clearing of the region might had happened circa 1881. He had also assisted all the Caliphs of his time as Marafa. Certainly, he had achieved the target of making Gwadabawa a protectorate of the Caliphate solving hunger, insecurity, settlements and related issues. Gwadabawa was the largest district since its creation in the Sokoto region, and contributed hugely in protecting the Caliphate and it is still relevant in government, and admisnistration of Sokoto Sultanate. People who occupy Gwadabawa throne as Sarkingobir are heirs to the Sultanate.<#LINE#>Johsnton, H.A.S.

Prasoon Joshi is one of the most prominent poet lyricists of modern times. His imagery, symbols and choice of language is incomparable and come close only to that of Gulzar; another top poet lyricist. Though he writes in Hindi, but his expressions of emotions cross the barriers of language and touch the hearts of the audience. Prasoon Joshi is among those rare poet lyricists, who understands and expresses the emotions in his writings in the most poignant manner. His choices of words are rare in this genre and it is this subtlety that separates him from the others. The paper brings forth the analysis of his select songs and poems recounting the agony, unreciprocated questions of a child, the kind of world the elders have conjured up for their children, their apathy, and almost a nonchalant attitude towards child-psychology. This paper is going to be based on translation work. The lyrics that appear in the paper are originally written in Hindi and have been translated into English by Prasoon Joshi himself and the Hindi poems have been translated by the author.<#LINE#>Goldmann, K., & Wessel, J.
