The study focused on mechanism of socio-cultural changes such as
innovation, diffusion, cultural loss, acculturation, modernization,
economic development, technological development, wars, and natural
disasters etc. The main factors involved in transition of society
have been identified and explained in the study. The study revealed
that transition in this particular community was mainly due to
introduction of new technology, economic development, media and
education, which had greatly simplified household and farm work and
brought about a substantial saving of time. The out migration of
men and adoption of new occupations has changed the social status
and role of the people particularly of the young generation. The
Pukhtoon traditions were going out, love, affection, respect for
elder, strangers and women, sympathy, modesty and hospitality in
the pukhtoon society were not in real practice as before. The
introduction of new technology, provision of basic facilities by
govt. /NGOs and education promotion has changed the role of men and
women in various perspectives.
On August 14th 2000, the military regime in Pakistan, unveiled a
Local Government Plan intended towards strengthening the democratic
institutions and towards empowering the people at the grassroots.
It was argued that the Plan would increase access of marginalized
groups in society to politics, increase participation of ordinary
citizens both in politics as well as the delivery of services,
enhance accountability of the government functionaries as well as
elected members and improve the delivery of social services. The
Devolution Plan (2000) paved the way for the reestablishment of
local governments at the district and sub-district levels.
According to the Plan, political, administrative and fiscal powers
were devolved to the local governments at the union, tehsil and
district levels. The fact that local governments in Pakistan in the
past have mainly been used by regimes to legitimize control over
the state and to achieve future survival makes this ambitious
attempt controversial. Especially, its contextual resemblance with
the previous two attempts at local government reforms, further
strengthen the notion of regime legitimization and survival.
This work investigates efficient searching mechanisms for searching
and retrieving software components across different remote
repositories and implements a supporting prototype called
"Component Repository Browser" using the plug-in based Eclipse
technology for PROGRESS-IDE. The prototype enables users to search
the ProCom components and to import the desired components from a
remote repository server over different protocols such as HTTP,
HTTPS, and/or SVN. Several component searching mechanisms and
suggestions were studied and examined such as keyword, facet-based
search, folksonomy classification, and signature matching, from
which we selected keyword search along with facet-based searching
technique to help component searchers to efficiently find the
desired components from a remote repository.
