الم مظفر نگری

المؔ مظفر نگری
افسوس ہے کہ شاعر بُرہان جناب الم مظفر نگری گزشتہ ۲۹؍مئی کو ہمیشہ کے لیے رخصت ہوگئے،مرحوم کوبُرہان سے جوتعلق ِخاص تھا اُس کااندازہ اس آخری خط سے ہوتا ہے جواُنھوں نے ایک غزل کے ساتھ ۲۶؍اپریل کوتحریر فرمایا تھا۔ اب المؔ صاحب جیسے مخلص،سادہ مزاج ،پختہ کلام، باکمال ادیب وشاعر کو آنکھیں ڈھونڈتی ہی رہیں گی،بطور تبرک غزل کے ساتھ مرحوم کاآخری خط بھی شائع کیاجارہا ہے۔ [ع، جون ۱۹۶۹ء]
خط
۲۴ فردوس منزل، مظفر نگر
24/4/69
مولانا آداب۔ اگرچہ مضمحل ہوں مگر ابھی زندہ ہوں۔آپ نے مجھے مُردوں میں شمار کرلیا میری کئی غزلیں آپ کے دفتر میں ہیں مگر کئی ماہ سے برہان میں ایک بھی غزل نہیں چھاپی گئی۔ آج ایک تازہ اور غیر مطبوعہ غزل پیش کررہا ہوں ماہ اپریل کے برہان میں لگوادیجیے۔ جب تک لکھنے کا یارا باقی ہے ضرور آپ کی خدمت کرتا رہوں گا۔
غالبؔ و ذوقؔ کے سہروں کا موازنہ نظرِ اقدس سے گزرا ہوگا یہ الجمعیۃ میں چھپا تھا سچ کہیے ایسا مضمون غالبؔ کی صدسالہ برسی پر کسی اور نے بھی لکھا یا نہیں اور حضرات نے اچھے اچھے مضامین لکھے لیکن وہ زیادہ تر سیاسی تھے، ایک ادیب اور مکمل شاعر کو ایسی باتوں سے بھلا کیا واسطہ اس کا کمال تو ادب و شعر تک محدود ہے۔ حکیم صاحب سے سلام کہیے اور غزل کاتب کو لکھنے کے لیے دے دیجیے۔

EFFECTS OF BOWEN THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Background and Aim: Bowen therapy is a non-pharmacological method for treating a variety of pain conditions, but its effectiveness in treating tension-type headaches is unknown. We compared the effectiveness of Bowen therapy to a sham treatment. Methodology: In a multi-center randomized controlled trial, the young adults with a tension-type headache were selected from the Neurology Department of DHQ hospital Sargodha and Niazi Medical Complex, Sargodha, with convenient sampling. A priori sample size calculation determined that 44 participants were needed. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups. Bowen Therapy (n=22) and Sham Treatment (n=22) groups were enrolled. The Bowen therapy was devised for two weeks. The measurement was taken at baseline and after two weeks. SPSS 22 was used for data analysis. Results: At baseline, there was no difference found in the Bowen therapy and Sham treatment groups. We have noticed a significant decrease in the severity of pain and improvement in pain pressure threshold assessed by the visual analogue scale (VAS) and algometer in the Bowen therapy group after two weeks (<0.05). However, no changes in pain intensity were found in the sham therapy group. Furthermore, the headache frequency was also reduced in Bowen therapy compared to the sham therapy group (<0.05) after the study period. Conclusion: The findings suggest that Bowen Therapy might be a beneficial and effective treatment for a tension-type headache. Further studies are needed using older adult’s participants.

Synthesis of Novel, Hybrid Polymer Nanocomposite Adsorbent by Graft Polymerization and its Environmental Applications

Two different synthesis approaches were utilized with the ambition for the development of efficient and cost effective adsorbents. These methods were simultaneous radiation grafting and emulsion graft polymerization. Poly(acrylonitrile) grafted sepiolite nanohybrid (MS-g-PANγ) has been synthesized using acrylonitrile via simultaneous radiation grafting. The grafting yield was measured by varying the absorbed dose, dose rate and monomer concentration. The acrylonitrile group was chemically modified into amidoxime (MS-g-aoPANγ). The structural and morphological investigations of these nanohybrids were performed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Batch adsorption studies were carried out for copper uptake onto amidoximated nanohybrid adsorbents to envisage the effects of pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and initial concentration. Equilibrium was attained within 30 minutes following pseudo-second order kinetics and was well described by the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 278 mg/g for 5 kGy sample. This environmental friendly and cost effective adsorbent can be used for the removal of copper ion. Same technique was exploited for the synthesis of sepiolite-g-polystyrene nanohybrid (MS-g-PSγ) using Co-60 irradiator in the presence of dichloromethane (DCM) under nitrogen atmosphere and room temperature. The grafting yield was affected by absorbed dose and monomer concentration in the mixture. Sulfonation of synthesized nanohybrid (MS-g-sPSγ) was carried out with sulfuric acid. Both the grafting of styrene and its sulfonation were verified by FT-IR, XRD and FESEM. The gravimetric investigations showed that grafting increased with the absorbed dose. Results showed that the system allowed successful grafting of styrene onto modified sepiolite. Sepiolite-g-polyacrylonitrile nanocomposites (MS-g-PAN) were also synthesized using emulsion graft polymerization. The influence of synthesis parameters (concentrations of monomer, initiator and surfactant) on grafting yield was studied. The nitrile group was chemically modified into amidoxime (MS-g-aoPAN). Maximum grafting of 373% was achieved at 5% acrylonitrile, 1% surfactant and 0.1% initiator xvii concentrations. The structural and morphological changes were observed by FT-IR, XRD, FESEM and TEM. Similar technique was applied for the synthesis of sepiolite-g-polystyrene nanocomposites (MS-g-PS) using styrene. Maximum grafting of 85% was achieved at 3% styrene concentration (w/v). FT-IR, XRD and FESEM confirmed the presence of polystyrene grafts but grafting yield was low (85%). So it can be established that radiation grafting is better route for the synthesis of sepiolite-g-polystyrene nanocomposites as compared to emulsion graft polymerization. The intention of this project was to develop organic-inorganic nanohybrid materials having the aptitude to adsorb toxic metals from waste water. The ambition was successfully achieved by adopting two routes of synthesis i.e. radiation grafting and emulsion graft polymerization.
