مولوی عزیز الرحمن
مولوی عزیز الرحمن صاحب کوئر یاپار اعظم گڑھ کے ایک شریف و نجیب خاندان سے تعلق رکھتے تھے، اردو کے مشہور ادیب و نقاد جناب شمس الرحمن فاروقی ان کے حقیقی بھتیجے تھے، جو اور اس خاندان کے دوسرے اشخاص بھی بڑے سرکاری عہدوں پر فائر ہیں۔ علمی و دنیاوی وجاہت کی طرح دینداری میں بھی یہ خانوادہ ممتاز تھا۔
مولوی عزیز الرحمن صاحب کی تعلیم مدرسہ الٰہیات کانپور میں ہوئی تھی اور انھوں نے الٰہ آباد بورڈ کے امتحانات بھی اچھے نمبروں سے پاس کئے تھے، ۱۹۲۵ء میں وہ شبلی نیشنل ہائر سکنڈری اسکول میں تدریس کی خدمت پر مامور ہوئے اور ۶۶ء میں ریٹائر ہوئے۔
مولوی صاحب کو قومی و ملی اشغال سے بھی سروکار رہا اور جمعیۃ علمائے ہند اور کانگریس پارٹی سے وابستہ رہے، اعظم گڑھ کے نسواں اسکول کے جواب گریجویٹ کالج ہوگیا ہے، بانی ارکان میں تھے، برسوں اس کے صدر بھی رہے۔
ملازمت کے ابتدائی زمانے سے دارالمصنفین آنے کا معمول بنالیا تھا۔ اس وضع داری کو اس وقت تک نباہا جب تک پیروں میں قوت رہی، انہیں مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی صاحبؒ اور مولوی مسعود علی ندوی کی مجلس میں باریاب ہونے کا شرف حاصل تھا، شاہ معین الدین احمد اور سید صباح الدین عبدالرحمن صاحبان اور دوسرے رفقا اور کارکنوں سے نہایت بے تکلف تھے، اس ناچیز پر بھی بہت شفقت فرماتے تھے۔
دو تین برس سے بالکل معذور اور خانہ نشین ہوگئے تھے، بالاخر ۲۸؍ اور ۲۹؍ دسمبر کی درمیانی شب میں واصل بحق ہوگئے، اﷲ ان کے درجات بلند کرے اور پسماندگان کر صبر جمیل عطا فرمائے، آمین۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی۔ جنوری ۱۹۹۴ء)
Background of the Study: To assess the functional outcome among patients with arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with endo-button at Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital post 6 months.
Methodology: A single centered survey was conducted on 67 patients with arthroscopic AC Ligament reconstruction using Hamstring auto-graft (Semitendinosus-Gracilis tendons) after 6 months and evaluated for functional outcome. The data was collected from Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital. The sampling procedure utilized was non-probability sampling. Functional outcome was assessed using subjective form of IKDC score. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 23.
Results: Out of 67 patients, all were male. The pre-operative subjective IKDC scoring was less than 30 and post-operative mean IKDC scoring is 73.92. On the basis of findings of study, significant improvement was observed after ACL reconstruction post 6 months.
Conclusion: ACL reconstruction shows significant improvement in knee function and significant recovery of preoperative functional status.
Present study was undertaken to investigate the phenomenon of menopause and its impact on women’s psychological well-being, self-concept and marital satisfaction. This study was divided in four phases. Focus groups were conducted in Phase I to get baseline information from Pakistani women in their menopausal stages (pre, peri and post) about menopausal symptoms and other selected variables. Information was collected from working and non-working women. The collected information laid the foundation for the formulation of hypotheses as previous researches had diverse findings. Four instruments were selected to measure menopausal symptoms and other variables. The Ryff Scale of Psychological Well-Being (Ryff, 1989), translated into Urdu by Ansari (2010), and ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (Olson, 1989) translated into Urdu by Iqbal (2010) were used to measure psychological well-being and marital satisfaction. Whereas Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, (TSCS-2) (Fitts & Warren, 2003) and Green Climacteric Symptoms Scale- GCSC (Greene, 1998) were translated in Phase II of the present study. The test-retest reliability of the TSCS-2 and GCSC were found to be satisfactory. Pilot study was conducted in Phase III on sample (N=60) to evaluate psychometric properties of the instruments and preliminary analysis was also conducted. Results of pilot study gave satisfactory psychometric properties of instruments and other analysis paved the way for main study. Premenopausal women (n=116), Perimenopausal women (n=116), and Postmenopausal women (n=116) were selected for main study and the collected data was statistically analyzed. Results revealed acceptable range of item-total and interscale correlation coefficients and satisfactory reliability coefficients of the instruments. Results revealed that perimenopausal women experienced more menopausal symptoms than pre and postmenopausal women. Post-hoc differences revealed that women from perimenopausal and postmenopausal groups had low level psychological well-being, relatively negative self-concept, and low level of marital satisfaction as compared to women from premenopausal group. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated significant predictive relationship of perimenopausal symptoms and self-concept. Mediation analyses were conducted and results revealed that marital satisfaction and psychological well-being are mediating the relationship between self-concept and menopausal symptoms. Analysis of demographic variables indicated that working women experienced fewer menopausal symptoms than non-working women. The perimenopausal women with lower level of education experienced more menopausal symptoms as compared to women from other two groups. Perimenopausal women belonging to lower income families have high mean scores than other two income groups. The implications based on the findings for health care as well as further research have been discussed.
