سید مرتضیٰ علی
افسوس ہے اس مہینہ میں ہمارے ایک نہایت عزیز اور مخلص دوست سید مرتضیٰ علی نے بھی دہلی میں وفات پائی۔ مرحوم نواب صدیق حسن خاں صاحب مرحوم کے نواسی داماد تھے۔حکومت ہند کے محکمہ دفاع میں اعلیٰ افسر تھے۔تقسیم کے بعد بھی یہیں رہے۔دلّی کی جامع مسجد کے قریب ان کا آبائی مکان تھااُسی میں رہتے تھے اورجامع مسجد میں نماز اس پابندی سے ادا کرتے تھے کہ وفات سے پہلے سخت مجبوری کے باوجود انھوں نے نمازباجماعت ترک نہیں کی۔ادارہ ندوۃ المصنفین کے شروع سے محسن اوراس کے کاموں کے بڑے قدردان تھے۔ اسلام کی محبت اورعشق میں سرشار رہتے تھے۔بڑے خلیق،متواضع،صاحب ِخیر، غیور و خوددار اور حد درجہ پابندِ وضع تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کوغریق رحمت فرمائے اور پسماندگان کوصبر جمیل کی توفیق ارزاں ہو۔آمین [جولائی۱۹۵۶ء]
Computers are increasingly a part of pre-schoolers to professional lives. The use of multimedia in education has significantly changed people’s learning processes. Computer technology holds promise for improving student performance and quality of teaching education program at all levels. Today, development has been rapid and technology has been acknowledged as an additional teaching tool. Results from a number of research studies indicate that appropriately designed multimedia instruction enhances students’ learning performance in mathematics, and literacy. The purpose of the present paper was to discuss research avenues employing computers as a learning tool and to analyse the results obtained by this method at the pre-schoolers learning level.
The coccinellid ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae; Coleoptera) fauna of Gilgit- Baltistan was explored during present study. The taxonomic study of the collected beetles revealed twenty nine (29) species of coccinellid beetles in eighteen (18) genera and four (04) subfamilies from the province of Gilgit- Baltistan. Subfamily Chilocorinae represents four (04) species, subfamily Coccinellinae eighteen (18) species, subfamily Epilachninae three (03) species and subfamily Scymninae four (04) species. Among these, seventeen (17) species are new records for the study area including five (05) new records to Pakistan. The newly recorded species from Pakistan are; Exochomus nigromaculatus, Priscibrumus trijunctus, Coccinella iranica, C. redemita and Hippodamia apicalis. The remaining species include, Chilocorus infernalis, Platynaspidius saundersi, Adalia tetraspilota, Aiolocaria hexaspilota, Calvia punctata, Menochilus transversoguttata, sexmaculatus, Harmonia dimidiata, Coccinella Hippodamia septempunctata, variegata, C. Oenopia conglobata, O. oncina, O. sauzeti, Propylea dissecta, P. japonica, P. quaturodecimpunctata, Macroilleis hauseri, Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata, Afidentula bisquadripunctata, A. manderstjarnae, Scymnus nubilus, S. posticalis, Stethorus gilvifrons and S. pauperculus. Keys to subfamilies and genera are provided. Diagnostic characters of each species are given along with genitalia description. Coloured plates of adult specimens and genitalia structure are given in this research work. Remarks pertaining to taxonomic discussion, history, taxon status, host, habitat and regional record are given for each species. Distribution maps of the species occurring in the region are provided.
