مولوی بشیرالدین
اسی مہینہ ہماری پرانی بزم کی ایک اہم اور قدیم یادگار مولوی بشیر الدین صاحب نے وفات پائی، وہ اپنے دور کی آخری نشانی تھے، ان کی ابتداء سرسید کی مخالفت سے ہوئی تھی، پھر ان کے حامی، مقلد اور ان کے مشن کے مبلغ بن گئے اور اپنی زندگی مسلمانوں کی تعلیمی خدمت کے لیے وقف کردی، اسلامیہ کالج اٹاوہ ان کا بڑا کارنامہ ہے۔
اخبار البشیر کے ذریعہ بھی انھوں نے بڑی خدمات انجام دیں ایک زمانہ میں وہ نہایت وقیع اخبار تھا اور اس کی آواز بڑی مؤثر تھی، تعلیم کے علاوہ بھی انھوں نے بہت سے تعمیری کام انجام دیئے، ان کی زندگی قومی کارکنوں کے لئے نمونہ تھی، وہ اگرچہ سرسید کی جماعت کے آدمی تھی، لیکن سیاسی خیالات میں آزاد اور قوم پرور تھے اور آخر تک اس مسلک پر قائم رہے۔ اب ایسے مخلص اور عملی انسان مشکل سے پیدا ہوں گے، ایک سو سال سے زیادہ کی عمر پائی، اﷲ تعالیٰ اس کہن سال خادم قوم کو اپنی رحمت و مغفرت سے سرفراز فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی،جولائی ۱۹۵۶ء)
Obesity is a growing problem, most prevalent in the developed countries, especially US. Children and adolescents are gaining weight at a fast pace as compared to their parents. Although, it is very complicated to exactly know the cause of obesity, its risk factors, its prevention in different populations, yet, it has been observed that changes in life style and particularly in eating habits has contributed to an increased obesity incidence globally. These habits include eating junk food, synthetic and bakery products, increased hoteling, increased consumption of meat and unstaturated fats. If we compare the urban and rural regions at a global scale, we may come to know that Obesity and gastrointestinal problems are more prevalent in urban areas. It also indicates that these disorders are mostly attributed to bad eating habits and wrong choices of food which lack nutritional value but cause various disorders. Atleast 2 decades ago, when there was less digitalization and technological advancements, if people consumed high cholesterol diet or meat, they could digest it as they were physically very active. But in these days, there is less physical activity and our digestive systems cannot digest such food. Moreover, junk food may contribute to obesity. No doubt genetics may also has some role which cannot be denied but the modifiable risk factors can be controlled, monitored and may prevent such disorders. However, global investigations in this regard are direly needed to know the dietary habits and patterns worldwide, their effects in different populations, so that policies may be devised and implemented. Parents are also not aware of a proper healthy pattern that meets the requirements of their children. Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) Surveys and then awareness campaigns may play a positive role in this regard. Teaching healthy dietary patterns for different age groups at school level may also serve the purpose.
This study was an attempt to verify and test a commonly held assumption that low level of employee work engagement may lead to a deviant behavior, absenteeism and high turnover intentions. For this purpose, in the current research work 246 individuals from banking sectors of Pakistan were selected through stratified random sampling technique. The responses of the respondents were measured through a structured questionnaire having a five-point Likert scale. A negative significant relationship was found between employee work engagement and behavioral outcomes. A negative significant relationship was also found between employee work engagement and turnover intention. Similarly, the study found a significant negative association between work engagement and deviant behavior. Also, a negative significant relation was found between work engagement and absenteeism. The results suggest that team work effectiveness moderates the relationship between work engagement and behavioral outcomes. Implication for theory and future research direction was also highlighted.
