ولیم میکڈوگل

ولیم میکڈوگل
گذشتہ نومبر میں انگلستان کے مشہور ماہر نفسیات ولیم میکڈوگل کا انتقال ہوگیا، وہ ۱۸۷۱؁ء میں لنکاشائر میں پیدا ہوا،مانچسٹر میں تعلیم پاکر کیمبرج یونیورسٹی میں داخل ہوا، اور آخر میں لندن یونیورسٹی سے طب کی ڈگری حاصل کی، لیکن نفسیات میں اس کا مطالعہ اتنا گہرا تھا کہ وہ لندن یونیورسٹی میں اس کا لکچرار مقرر ہوا، اور پھر ذہنی فلسفہ کا پروفیسر ہوکر آکسفورڈ چلاگیا، ۱۹۲۰؁ء میں وہ ممالک متحدہ بلالیا گیا، جہاں وہ ہارورڈ اور ڈیوک یونیورسٹی میں معلمی کے فرائض انجام دیتا رہا۔
اس نے مندرجہ ذیل کتابیں لکھی ہیں، جن میں سے ہر ایک کے بہت سے اڈیشن شائع ہوچکے ہیں، (۱)خلاف معمول نفسیات کا ایک خاکہ، (۲)ذہین اجتماع، (۳)نفسیات کردار کا مطالعہ، (۴)مردوں کی قوتیں، (۵)زندگی کا مذہب اور سائنس، (۶)بورنیو کے غیر شائستہ قبائل، (۷)معاشرتی نفسیات کا مقدمہ، (۸)نفسیات کا ایک خاکہ، (۹)’’زندگی کی سیرت اور طور طریقے، ان میں ’’معاشرتی نفسیات کا مقدمہ‘‘ زیادہ مقبول ہے، نفسیات سے دلچسپی رکھنے والے طلبہ کے لئے ’’نفسیات کا ایک خاکہ‘‘ بھی مفید اور ضروری کتاب ہے، زندگی کی سیرت اور طور طریقے‘‘ آسان اور عام پسند ہے۔
ولیم میکڈوگل نے نفسیات کے اتنے مختلف نظریئے قائم کئے ہیں، کہ ان پر آئندہ بہت سی کتابیں اور شرحیں لکھی جائیں گی، لیکن اس نے سب سے زیادہ ’’جبلت‘‘ پر لکھا ہے، جبلت کی تعریف اس نے یہ کی ہے کہ یہ حسب منشا کام کرنے کی ایک فطری اور پیدائشی صلاحیت کا نام ہے، جو انسان کے علاوہ جانوروں، پرندوں اور کیڑوں پر بھی پائی جاتی ہے، ولیم میکڈوگل کے خیال کے مطابق چودہ جبلتیں ہوتی ہیں، مثلاً نقل، کھیل، خوشی، محبت، نفرت، غصہ، رنج، لڑائی، فرار، بے چینی، غول بندی، جنسی خواہش وغیرہ، بعض ماہرین نفسیات کا خیال ہے کہ جبلتیں صرف تین ہی ہوتی ہیں، خود غرضانہ، معاشرتی...

بدھ مت کا تصور امن اور عصری صورت حال

The religion of Buddhism attributed to Siddhartha Gautama (563-482 B.C). Afterwards he came to be known by the name of "Buddha"(mean: awakened). The religion he founded stressed on universal compassion and monasticism. His concept of compassion flowing freely towards all creatures or all living being. That is why, Buddha has forbidden all kind of wars, battles and conflicts as they cause ferocity or bloodshed. When Emperor Asoka (273-233 B.C.) accepted Buddhism as a true believer, then he set up good examples of piety, sympathy and compassion. If we look all around the modern age of Buddhism, they put off the peace living teachings of Gautama. The obvious example of that conduct is oppressive attacks on Rohingya Muslims. Since the £2012, (when the conflicts started between the Rohingya Muslims and the extremist Buddhist) innumerable Muslims are killed, mosques, houses and villages are being set on fire and destroyed.

Evaluation of Dosimetric Properties in External Beam Radiation Therapy

A great level of accuracy and efficiency is required to execute the various paradigms of the radiotherapy processes. The work described in the dissertation was aimed to verify the quality of treatment plans for different techniques in order to enhance the accuracy of planning processes involved. Also dose profile uniformity was verified to improve the Quality Assurance (QA) of radiotherapy process.This project was organized into three major components comprising of ‘comparison of treatment plan quality of RapidArc and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) using various dosimetric indices’, ‘investigation oftolerance dose to Organs at Risk (OARs) and assessing degree of homogeneity and conformity for Head and Neck (H&N) cancer patients by using Simultaneous Integrated Boost Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (SIB IMRT) technique’, and ‘determination of quality of 6 MV and 15 MV wedge-shaped radiation beams by analyzing the effect of symmetry parameter on depth, field size, beam energy, and wedge angle.’ First, analysis and comparison of the plan quality of IMRT and RapidArc techniques using various dosimetric indices was carried out to find out the better treatment modality for treating patients with cervix cancer. Thirteen cervical cancer patients treated with IMRT were selected for analysis and original plans were subsequently re-optimized based on the RapidArc technique. Inverse treatment planning was done by Eclipse (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) Treatment Planning System (TPS) for 15 MV photon beams from computed tomographic data. Double arcs were used for RapidArc plans. Quality of treatment plans were evaluated by calculating Conformity Index (CI), Homogeneity Index (HI), Gradient Index (GI), coverage, and Unified Dosimetry Index (UDI) for each plan. RapidArc plans resulted in better Planning Target Volume (PTV) coverage as evident by its superior Conformation Number (CN), coverage, CI, HI, GI, and UDI. Regarding Organs at Risk, RapidArc plans exhibit superior organ sparing as found from integral dose comparison. Difference between both techniques was determined by statistical analysis. For all cases under study, modest differences between IMRT and RapidArc treatment were observed. In conclusion, RapidArc-based treatment planning is safer with similar planning goals compared to the standard fixed IMRT technique. Furthermore, degree of conformity, homogeneity and tolerance dose to organs at risk for head and neck cancer patients were investigated. Fifteen patients receiving treatment based on inverse planned SIB IMRT technique were analyzed in this study. Using a beam energy of 6 MV, two dose levels of 70 Gy and 55·4 Gy were used to treat the tumor. Doses of 2 Gy in 35 fractions and 1·68 Gy in 33 fractions were simultaneously delivered for Effective Planning Target Volume (PTV1) and Boost Planning Target Volume (PTV2) respectively. Dose distribution in PTV and critical organs lie within tolerance dose guidelines protecting spinal cord, brain stem, optic chiasm, and optic nerve. Minor deviation from tolerance limit was observed for parotid glands. This technique provided highly conformal and homogenous dose distribution as well as offered best solution for preserving organ function by keeping dose below tolerance level. Finally, symmetry parameter of wedge-shaped photon beam profile was investigated to determine quality of radiation beams produced by linear accelerator. Analysis of beam profile parameter symmetry was performed for 6 MV and 15 MV photon beam energies by varying different factors such as depth, field size and wedge angle. Photon beam profile was measured from Varian’s Clinac DHX using PTW array detector. Data management, analysis, and processing of isodose curves was carried out by PTW MP3-M water tank and PTW MEPHYSTO version 7.33 software. Variation in symmetry was analyzed to match acceptance criteria as recommended by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) protocols. Results implied that symmetry parameter can be treated as being independent of depth and linearly increase with field size and wedge angle. For wedged beam profiles, measured values of symmetry were generally good and exceeded only slightly from the AAPM’s standard criteria for symmetry for open fields. The difference between open field beam profiles and wedge-shaped profiles were considered so that possible errors involved in radiotherapy process can be rectified.
