Sustainable Development (SD) is a rich, challenging and thought-provoking construct in social sciences. The main purpose of this paper was to identify and explore the role played by primary school teachers in building up the idea of sustainable development (SD) among students. This paper was intended to identify that how a teacher can successfully execute the concept of SD by influencing students’ minds at the primary level. Quantitative survey technique were utilized for data collection. All the primary school teachers of Lahore division comprised the population of the study. Through multistage sampling technique, 352 primary school teachers were selected as participants of the study. A self-developed SD questionnaire incorporating four major factors (teachers’ awareness, pedagogy, curricular and co-curricular activities) with Cronbach’s alpha value = .93 was used to measure the role of teachers in building the sustainability concept among students at primary level. The results indicated a significant mean score difference among SD scores of teachers, sector wise (private and public). Furthermore, the results also reconnoitered the significant difference (p=.04) between the mean scores of female and male teachers in building up the SD concept in students’ minds.

Care Facilities

Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir is a reservoir of enormous natural resources including the wealth of medicinal plants. The present paper deals with 12 medicinal plant species belonging to 8 genera of angiosperms used on pneumonia in cattle such as cows, sheep, goats and buffaloes in different areas of Poonch district. Due to poverty and nonavailability of modern health care facilities, the indigenous people of the area partially or fully depend on surrounding medicinal plants to cure the different ailments of their cattles. Further research on modern scientific line is necessary to improve their efficacy, safety and validation of the traditional knowledge.

Study Participants

Background The complete cytogenetic and immunophenotyping data in children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Jammu and Kashmir is scarce. To bridge this knowledge gap the present study proposes to evaluate the immunophenotype and cytogenetic profile of pediatric ALL patients treated in our hospital. Material and methods This hospital-based observational study was conducted on 180 pediatric patients aged between 1 to 18 years who had visited the Paediatric unit of the Department of Medical Oncology at Sher-I -Kashmir Institute of Medical Science, Srinagar ,Jammu and Kashmir between the January 2015 to December 2019. Result Among the study participants, 57.8% were male and 42.2% were female with a mean age of 9.24 years and median of 8 Years. Among the participants, 57.2% were below 10 years of age and 42.8% were above 10years of age. CNS disease was reported in 7.8% of the study participants. 63.3% patients had a TLC count of less than 20000. Immunophenotyping data revealed pre-B ALL in 77.8% of children. Cytogenetic study was conducted on 153 patients among them 74.4% had a normal karyotype, 7.2% s had hyperdiploidy and 3.3% had hypodiploidy. The FISH analysis showed that 23.3% of study participants were positive for the TEL-AML study, 11.1% were positive for BCR-ABL analysis and 4.4% of participants were positive for MLL gene analysis. The overall survival in the study population was 78.9% among the study participants. Only the MLL gene rearrangement analysis showed a statistically significant correlation with the survival analysis (P<0.5). Conclusion In summary, the present study reported the complete cytogenetic and immunophenotyping profile of the children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Jammu and Kashmir.
