ڈاکٹر رادھا کرشنن گزشتہ ماہ اس دار فانی کو چھوڑ گئے، علم و فن کے فروغ دینے میں ان کا نام رابندرناتھ ٹیگور، جسے۔ سی۔ بوس۔، اور سی۔ وی۔ رمن جیسی قدآور شخصیتوں کے ساتھ لیا جائے گا ان کی وفات سے اس ملک میں بیسویں صدی کا ایک زریں علمی عہد ختم ہوگیا۔
وہ ہندو ادب کے بہت بڑے شارح تھے، فلسفہ میں بھی ان کا علم بہت گہرا تھا، اس لئے ہندو مذاہب کے عقائد و تفکرات میں فلسفیانہ موشگافی کرتے رہے، وہ گسان جیمس وارڈ، ولیم جیمس اور برٹنڈ رسل کے فلسفے سے متاثر تھے، تو خود ان کی علمی گہرائی اور فلسفیانہ ژرف نگاہی کا اعتراف طامسن من اور ایچ جی۔ ویلس جیسے مشاہیر نے کیا، کلکتہ، میسور اور مدارس کی یونیورسٹیوں میں استاد رہنے کے بعد آکسفورڈ یونیورسٹی کے بھی پروفیسر رہے، اندھرا اور بنارس یونیورسٹیوں کے وائس چانسلر بھی بنائے گئے، بیرونی ممالک نے بھی مختلف قسم کے اعزاز اور انعامات سے نوازا جس سے ہندوستان کی عظمت و فضیلت میں بھی اضافہ ہوا، ان کی متعدد تصانیف میں ایک کتاب ’’مذہب کی حکومت جدید فلسفہ‘‘ پر ہے جس میں دکھایا گیا ہے کہ جدید فلسفہ خود مذاہب سے متاثر ہے، وہ بڑے خوش بیان اور باوقار مقرر بھی تھے بولتے تو معلوم ہوتا کہ فضا میں سیم وزر کی آواز کھنک رہی ہے اسی کے ساتھ سامعین محسوس کرتے کہ ان سے اخلاق اور روحانیت کا پیام مل رہا ہے۔
پنڈت جواہر لال نہرو ان کی قابلیت اور اعلیٰ سیرت سے متاثر تھے، اس لئے ان کو علم کی سند سے اٹھا کر سیاست کی مسند اعلیٰ پر بٹھایا، وہ پہلے نائب صدر جمہوریہ ہند پھر صدر بنائے گئے، جس سے خود ان دونوں عہدوں میں وزن اور وقار پیدا ہوگیا، افلاطون فلسفی حکمران کو پسند کرتا تھا،...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a widespread organism, caused severe nosocomial infection in human and associated with multiple drug resistance (MDR)Objective: The present study was carried out to observe current antimicrobial resistant pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Lahore and to detect the Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) gene in carbapenem resistantPseudomonas aeruginosaMethods: By screening 360 samples total 123 Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified by standard microbiology techniques such as microscopy and biochemical testing. The isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated for drug resistance by disc diffusion method and polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to identify the carbapenem resistance causing gene (bla-VIM and bla-IMP) Results: Following antibiotic resistant pattern was observed, Gentamycin (59.00%), Ceftazidime(58.7%), Ceftriaxone (58.00%), Cefotazime (57.0%) and Ciprofloxacin (55.00%). Resistance rates to carbapenem group of antibiotics is Doripenem (30.5%) Meropenem(31.0%) and Imipenem (28.0%). Out of 123 samples of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 28 isolates were found resistant to carbapenem group of antibiotic which was supposed to be highly sensitive for this bacterium. Molecular based identification of resistance genes showed that bla-IMP gene was present in 32.1% (09) and bla-VIM was found positive in 17.8% (04) samples. Metallo-beta-lactamasesproducing genes (bla-VIM and bla-IMP), amongcarbapenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were detectedin 28.1% of samples. If other carbapenem resistant gene were also included this number might be higherConclusions: PCRbased test should be included in routine laboratory examination for quick detection of the resistancecausing genes.
Thesis Title: Comparative Effects of Teachers'' Transformational and Transactional Leadership Styles on Students'' Academic Achievement. The study intended to compare the effectiveness of teachers’ transformational and transactional leadership styles on students’ academic achievement. The objectives of the study were: to compare public and private sector college teachers'' transformational leadership style; to evaluate public and private sector college teachers’ transactional leadership style; to explore gender wise differences in public and private sector college teachers'' views about their leadership styles; to measure gender wise differences in students’ views of public and private sector college about their teachers’ leadership styles; to compare relationship between teachers’ leadership styles and students’ academic achievement; to calculate gender wise differences in academic achievement of students in public and private sector. The population of the study was teachers teaching secondary classes and students of 12th grade from public 9 and private colleges registered and affiliated with Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Islamabad. Total 36 null hypotheses were developed. The major findings inferred from the data analysis were: there was found significant gender difference in the opinion of teachers about teachers’ transformational leadership style, male and female teachers did not show any difference of opinion about teachers’ transactional leadership styles, male and female students gave different opinion about their teachers’ transactional leadership style, students from moderate ability groups were found more concerned about their teachers’ leadership styles; the transformational and the transactional leadership styles than low and high ability groups, positive relationship was found between teachers’ transformational and transactional leadership styles with students’ academic achievement. The major recommendations of the study were: There is a need to design a complete course for teachers’ training in leadership and this course may be included in teacher training programs. Effects of teachers’ leadership styles may be investigated with reference to self actualization of students. The teachers’ training program for in-service college teachers may be designed for development of traits of leadership and for this purpose the model proposed by the researcher may be used for designing teachers’ leadership training course.
