This book examines immigration and settlement patterns in Britain
and at the civic position of ethnic minorities by outlining the
development of race relations in the political context. It analyses
the numbers, turnout patterns, voting behaviour and attitudes of
the ethnic minorities to the political process and of the political
parties to these minorities. In conclusion the author argues that
the positive involvement of ethnic minorities in the political
process, and in all aspects of British public life, is the genuine,
long-term solution both to racial disadvantage and discrimination
at every level.
PAKISTAN Muhammad Anwar and Ebad Baig The creation of Pakistan on
August 14, 1947, was a rare and unprecedented event in the study of
politics that the world has ever seen. However, the Indian
leadership never accepted the creation of Pakistan, and its
security remained threatened even after a long period of existence
because of the Kashmir dispute, which was left unresolved at the
time of the partition of the subcontinent. The worst happened when
Pakistan's founding father passed away on September 11, 1948,
followed by the assassination of the first prime minister of
Pakistan, Liaquat Ali Khan, on October 16, 1951. The weak and
shrewd political leadership eventually paved the way for the
military intervention, and Pakistan remained under the dictatorial
governments for more than three decades between 1958 and 2008. As a
result of the political void, Pakistan was dismembered in December
1971 by the direct Indian military action in East Pakistan while
the United States played the role of a spectator. Despite the US
duplicity in 1971, Pakistan remained engaged in fighting the US
proxy war in Afghanistan since 1979 and was facing the fierce
situation in the hands of the terrorists who were expressing their
anger and revenge through bomb blasts and suicidal attacks all over
the country. This book examines Pakistan's journey through the
turbulent waters of the history right from 1947 to 2012,
pinpointing what went wrong during the whole passage and those
responsible for the disasters that the Pakistani nation has to
painfully endure continuously during all these years. This is to
allow the military leaders to review and fix the institution
burdened with the task of defending the homeland and the political
leadership to walk through this mirror for making Pakistan a strong
and modern Muslim state in the world in line with the vision of
Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

By considering the position of young Asians in Britain in relation
to education, employment, housing and the police, and the responses
they encounter from these institutions, this work presents a
comprehensive analysis of this area of study. It looks at the
cultural issues of family, marriage, religion and mother tongue,
and analyzes the reponses of Asian parents and the Asian community
towards these issues. The book compares the situation of young
Asians with that of young people generally, and to those in similar
circumstances but with different backgrounds and religions. It
should be of interest to students of social anthropology, social
work and sociology.

Health informatics is the field that concerns itself with the
information processing, and communication tasks of medical
practice, education, and research, including the information
science and the technology to support these tasks. but this culture
does not exist in Pakistan. we explores the ideas or ways for
implementation of an electronic medical record system at different
hospitals of Pakistan. Statistical Suit for colorectal cancer
patients record (SSCC) is introducing as a way to facilitate a
centralized colorectal cancer patient information repository.
Benefits realized by this system included improvements in
colorectal cancer patient's care, clinical research, and patient
service and satisfaction. The tool excluded the need of
statistician on routine basis in a hospital setting and the doctor
have information of lengthy follow up patients, one click away. We
also highlight the influence of gender and age on the occurrence of
this malignancy in patients in local population by comparing
analysis of the data from two largest Tertiary Care Cancer Hospital
in Pakistan to give an estimate of the disease burden in heavily
populated areas.
Although design and the delivery of contents are very important for
an effective presentation, the knowledge of concepts like
information theory, persuasion techniques, understanding of the
audience's cognitive models and their perceptive origin are some
other secrets which make a presentation successful and thriving.
Unlike most presentation books that say the same things regarding
presentation design and delivery, Secrets of Successful Presenters
divulges those secrets which help readers to learn about these
important aspects to become world class presenters. The readers
will also learn about in's and out's of presenting themselves,
their business, and their cause with a comprehensive,
understandable, and thriving way.
This book presents a design framework based on a centralized
scalable architecture for effective simulated aerial threat
perception. In this framework data mining and pattern
classification techniques are incorporated. This paper focuses on
effective prediction by relying on the knowledge base and finding
patterns for building the decision trees. This framework is
flexibly designed to seamlessly integrate with other applications.
The results show the effectiveness of selected algorithms and
suggest that more the parameters are incorporated for the decision
making for aerial threats; the better is our confidence level on
the results. To delve into accurate target prediction we have to
make decisions on multiple factors. Multiple techniques used
together helps in finding the accurate threat classification and
result in better confidence on our results.

Stolen Stripes and Broken Medals is a true account of the life of a
Pakistani naval officer who despite reaching the star ranks and
with outstanding record of service had to prematurely say good bye
to his long career. In fact those achievements created enemies who
ultimately staged the fatal conspiracy when he was at the pinnacle
of his career and was just about to get his second star. The title
of this book reflects as to how his hard earned stripes were stolen
and his medals broken by no one other than the top brass of the
Navy since he had refused to tell a lie to safeguard their personal
interests. This book tells the story of his long naval career which
was full of adventures, challenges, and achievements and of course
the due recognition which he had earned through sheer hard work and
dedication to the service. This is an eye opening account for those
who want to see as to what happens to those who are upright and
honest but without any backing in a country like Pakistan. It also
reflects on what happens behind the close doors of the top
leadership in the Armed Forces, who are trusted with nations'
sacred duty. It is for the first time that someone has taken such a
bold step to touch the untouchable, apprising his nation and those
in the helm of affairs, expecting some positive outcome.
Pakistan has been subjected to numerous pulls an pressures since
its independence. Despite being part of the US-led alliances,
Pakistan was dismembered in 1971. With the end of the Cold War, the
situation has gone from bad to worse and even after a long period
of existence Pakistan's security remains threatened by the
adversary. Consequently Pakistan has to spend much more on defence
than her resources permitting. The only plausible way out for
Pakistan is to look for Friends near Home who could act as the
relief zones to off-set the potential threat and provide all
possible assistance to safeguard her strategic security interests.
Friends Near Home presents the realistic perspective, analysis and
aspirations by someone from the soil which should interest the
civilians as well as those in uniform. Focussing on Pakistan's
strategic security options, the thesis succinctly examines the
politico-strategic and maritime environment of the region which
includes South Asia, South-West Asia and Central Asia with special
reference to the North-West Indian Ocean Region milieu. The author
has made a positive effort to analyse the viability and efficacy of
the regional states i.e. Friends near Home, with a view to enhance
Pakistan's security parameters. All this reflects author's vision
of Pakistan into 21st Century and beyond. This book also presents
the guiding principles for the regional as well as extra regional
countries. Some bold thoughts and recommendations suggested in this
book could serve as the stabilizing factors for the region and
ultimately contributing towards the world peace and stability.
Expansion of the Gulf Cooperation Council leading to the
establishment of the EnlargedEconomic Cooperation Organisation is
one such realistic but challenging proposition. Pakistan's
envisaged maritime orientation should conveniently help attainment
of this difficult but achievable objective. Those in power should
carry this vision to the testing grounds for the sake of a
promising future ushering a new era of cooperation and development
in this resource-rich region, and striving together for world peace
and stability.
