یونس فریدی کی غزل گوئی
اردو کے شعری منظر نامے پر نظر دوڑائی جائے تو معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ دیگر تمام اصناف ادب اپنی جگہ اہم ہیں مگر غزل کی اہمیت وافادیت مسلمہ ہے۔ یہی وجہ ہے غزل کو مقبول ترین صنف کا درجہ حاصل ہے۔ رفیع الدین ہاشمی غزل کی تعریف ان الفاظ میں کر تے ہیں:
’’غزل کے لغوی معنی عورتوں یا عورتوں کے متعلق گفتگو کرنا ہیں۔ ہرن کے منہ سے بوقت خوف جو درد ناک چیخ نکلتی ہے اسے بھی غزل کہتے ہیں۔ اس نسبت سے غزل وہ صنف شعر ہے جس میں حسن وعشق کی مختلف کیفیات کا بیان ہو اور اس میں دردوسوز بہت نمایاں ہوــ‘‘۔(۱)
اردو کی کئی شعری و نثری اصناف مغربی ادب سے ماخوذ ہیں۔ لیکن غزل اردو کی وہ صنف سخن ہے جو خالصتاً برصسغیر میں پروان چڑھی اور جس نے فارسی غزل سے استفادہ کیا۔ دیگر شعری اصناف کی طرح غزل کسی تسلسل کی محتاج نہیں بلکہ اس کا ہر شعر علیحد ہ مفہوم لئے ہوتا ہے اور ایک شعر دوسرے شعر سے مختلف مضمون بیان کر رہا ہوتا ہے۔ ایک غزل ایک ہی بحر میں کہی جاتی ہے اور غزل کے لئے مطلع کا ہونا بھی لازمی قرار دیا گیا ہے۔ اولین دور میں غزل کے اشعار کی تعداد کوتوملحوظِ خاطر رکھا جا تا تھا۔لیکن اب جد ید شعری روایات میں غزل کے اشعار کم یا زیادہ لکھنے کی قید یا پابندی نہیں۔ غزل کا پہلا شعر مطلع کہلا تا ہے۔ جبکہ آخری شعر جس میں شاعر اپنا تخلص استعمال کرتا ہے اسے مقطع کہتے ہیں۔ غزل کسی خاص یا مخصوص خیالات و مضامین کے حامل اشعار کی قید میں نہیں ہوتی بلکہ حسن وعشق ، دردو غم ،ہجر و وصال کے علاوہ مذہبی، سیاسی، سماجی اور فلسفے پرمبنی خیالات بھی اپنے اندر...
Background: Controversy occurs in the relationship between serum ferritin levels, insulin resistance and risk of developing anemia in adolescents with family history of diabetes. Aims & Objectives: This study was designed to find out the association between serum ferritin levels with risk of developing anemia in non-diabetic adolescents with family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Materials & Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional was conducted in a local medical institute of Lahore. Study included 50 non-diabetic, non-obese male / female adolescent with family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 50 healthy male/female non-obese adolescents without family history of T2DM considered as controls. Level of serum ferritin and serum insulin was estimated by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Blood glucose was estimated by auto-analyzer. Insulin resistance was calculated by HOMA-IR index and beta cell function was assessed by HOMA- beta index. Results: Levels of fasting blood sugar, insulin resistance were found to be increased with decreased level of serum ferritin and decrease beta cell function in both male as well as female cases as compared to controls. Negative correlation was found between serum ferritin and insulin resistance while a positive correlation was found between serum ferritin and beta cell function. Conclusions: Low level of serum ferritin is associated with reduced beta cell function and increased insulin resistance. This may increase the risk of developing iron deficiency anemia that can affect both immune system as well as increase susceptibility to infections.
Botrytis grey mold (BGM) is the most important biological constraint for lentil crop in Pakistan. During 2007-08 and 2008-09, 912 varieties/lines were evaluated under field conditions. There was no line found to exhibit immunity against Botrytis grey mold. 452 and 236 varieties/lines exhibited moderately resistant response against Botrytis grey mold during 2007-08 and 2008-09, respectively. During 2007-08 and 2008-09, 652 and 863 varieties/lines exhibited susceptible response to Botrytis grey mold. 166 varieties/lines exhibited highly susceptible response to Botrytis grey mold during 2007-08, while 171 one exhibited highly susceptible response to Botrytis grey mold during 2008-09. Maximum disease development occurred at temperature 23-26 oC and 18-24 oC, relative humidity at 5 pm 36-54 %, rainfall 0-3 mm, wind speed 3-5 Km/h and sun shine 6-10 hours. The data of susceptible to highly susceptible lines/ varieties and meteorological variables were subjected step wise regression analysis based on two years data a model consisting of all environmental variables explained 98 % variability in disease development. When these were split by years; a three environmental variable model consisting of sun shine hours, relative humidity % at 8 am, relative humidity % at 5 pm explained 96 % variability in botrytis grey mold severity during 2008. However, during 2009, four environmental variables model consisting of wind speed Km/h at 8 am, max temperature oC, relative humidity % at 5 pm and rain fall mm explained 99 % variability in botrytis grey mold severity. For the management of BGM, three antagonists (Trichoderma harzianum, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger), three plant extract (Azadirachta indica, Bougainvillea spectabilis and Eucalyptus terticornis) coupled with three fungicides including Topsin-M, Cabriotop, and Antracol with different doses were used in laboratory experiment to assess their effectiveness against the colony growth of Botrytis cinerea. Out of these, Cabriotop, Trichoderma harzianum, Azadirachta indica were found effective in inhibiting the mycelium growth of the fungus. These same treatments were also found effective in greenhouse experiments. The most effective treatments were tested on two varieties and one advanced line under field condition. Among these Cabrio top at 150 ppm was most effective in controlling BGM on Masoor-85, Masoor-93 and line 00518. The protective spray of these treatments was significantly effective compared to curative spray.
