آہ! جناب چودہری سبط محمد نقوی
۱۸؍ فروری ۲۰۰۵ء کو جناب چودہری سبط محمد نقوی بھی داغ مفارقت دے گئے، وہ ۷۹ برس کے تھے، انتقال سے چند ہفتے پہلے سڑک کے ایک حادثے میں شدید زخمی ہوگئے تھے، علاج کے لیے لکھنو میڈیکل کالج میں داخل ہوئے اور کسی قدر شفایاب ہوئے تو لکھنو میں اپنی رہایش گاہ پر آگئے، ایام عزا شروع ہونے سے پہلے عشرہ مجالس میں شرکت کے لیے اپنے آبائی وطن اکبر پور چلے آئے، ایک رات اچانک طبیعت زیادہ خراب ہوگئی اور دسویں محرم آنے سے پہلے ہی انتقال فرماگئے۔
مرحوم کی تعلیم و تربیت لکھنو میں فرقہ امامیہ کی درس گاہوں میں ہوئی تھی، وہ اس فرقہ کے اکثر معروف و ممتاز خاندانوں سے بہ خوبی واقف تھے، اکثر عماید و مشاہیر علما کے صحبت یافتہ تھے، لکھنو اور اودھ کے اکثر علمی، تعلیمی، دینی، ادبی اور سیاسی حلقوں میں وہ مقبول و متعارف تھے، اہل تسنن سے بھی ان کے تعلقات تھے اور ان کے اصحاب علم کے قدر شناس تھے، مرحوم کی نماز جنازہ دونوں فرقوں کے اماموں نے پڑھائی، مولانا شبلیؒ کے بڑے مداح اور عظمت شناس تھے، مولانا نے موازنہ انیس و دبیر لکھا تو شیعوں اور سنیوں کا بھی ایک طبقہ ان سے بہت برہم ہوا لیکن مرحوم سبط محمد صاحب مولانا کے ہم نوا تھے جس کا برملا اظہار اپنی تحریروں اور ملاقاتوں میں کرتے تھے، دارالمصنفین سے بھی والہانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے اور اس کے معتدل روش کو بہت پسند کرتے تھے، جناب سید صباح الدین عبدالرحمن مرحوم، مولوی حافظ عمیر الصدیق اور راقم سے بہت مخلصانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے، اپنے علمی و تحقیقی کاموں کے سلسلے میں یہاں تشریف بھی لاتے تھے، ۱۹۷۰ء کی دہائی میں غالباً پہلی بار یہاں تشریف لائے تو قریباً ایک ماہ قیام کیا اور جانے کے بعد...
Objective: The study was designed to estimate the prevailing percentage of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) using Boston Carpal tunnel syndrome questionnaire (BCTSQ) in the dexterous population and to assess its severity.
Study Design: This was a Cross-sectional survey.
Study Settings and Participants: The study setting was Karachi where 226 Dexterous workers including; musicians, typist, dentists, butchers office workers, working for more than 1 year were recruited using non-probability convenience sampling.
Outcome Measures: Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire.
Results: This study enrolled 226 participants, 140 (61.9%) of which were males and 86 (38.1%) were females with mean age of 34.05±10.93. Out of the total 25 were diagnosed with CTS in which, 10 (40%) were males and 15 (60%) were females with mean age of 37.60±14.41. Hence, the prevalence of CTS among dexterous population was found to be 11.06%.
Conclusion: The results of our study revealed that CTS is a prevalent neuromuscular disorder among dexterous population. The severity level varies among the population. More epidemiological studies are required to get the approximate value to promote ergonomic awareness.
Cotton is an important commercial crop of global importance. Cotton is known as the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. Cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuVD) is a serious threat to the successful cotton production and is transmitted by whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius under field conditions. A disease and vector predictive model based on 5 years epidemiological factors was developed and validated based on 2 years epidemiological factors for the prediction of CLCuVD and its vector. Y= 145+ 4.47x 1 -0.151x 2 -0.490x 3 -1.83x 4 +1.58x 5 -4.84x 6 R 2 = 0.79 (Five years data) Y= 145+ 2.78x 1 - 0.998 x 2 -0.400 x 3 -1.02 x 4 +3.85 x 5 -2.25 x 6 R 2 = 0.75 (Two years data) Where y = CLCuVD, x 1 = Minimum temperature, x 2 = Rainfall, x 3 = Relative humidity, x 4 = Wind velocity, x 5 = Whitefly, x 6 = Maximum temperature. Y= 57.0 - 0.370x 1 - 0.0853x 2 -0.297x 3 +0.813x 4 -0.565x 5 R 2 = 0.64 (Five years data) Y= 27.5-0.726x 1 -0.511x 2 -0.122x 3 -0.177x 4 +0.639 x 5 R 2 = 0.58 (Two years data) Where y = Whitefly, x 1 = Maximum temperature, x 2 = Minimum temperature, x 3 = Relative humidity, x 4 = Rainfall, x 5 = Wind velocity. A significant (P<0.05) but negative correlation was observed between maximum temperature and CLCuVD. The value of the coefficient of correlation was observed in the following order: 2006 (r=0.80*) < 2004 (r=0.79*) < 2005 (r=0.76*) <2002 (r=0.61*) and < 2003 (r=0.60*). Except 2006, the relationship of CLCuVD with rainfall was found non- significant during the subsequent years (r < 0.47). Wind velocity was found non- significant but negatively correlated with CLCuVD. Whitefly had significant and positive correlation with CLCuVD during all the five years. The relative humidity contributed significantly in the build up of whitefly population during 2005 only (r=0.60). During rest of the years relative humidity did play a prominent role in the spread of this vector as was evident from the value of correlation coefficient 0.34 ≤ r ≤ 0.47. The wind velocity did not contributed as effectively as compared to other variables. None of the screened varieties/advanced lines was found to be immune against cotton leaf curl virus disease and varied greatly in response to disease incidence during both the years (2007-08). Only three varieties/advanced lines (NIBGE-2, PB-899, NIAB- 884) were found to be highly resistant against CLCuVD. Eight cultivars (BH-162, NIAB- 824, CIM-496, MJ-7, CIM- 446, CIM-473, VH-148, Alseemi hybrid) were found to be resistant. Six varieties/advanced lines (NIAB-111, PB- 897, FH-2925, CIM-438, CIM-497, FH-115) were found moderately resistant. Five cultivars (FH-900, CIM-707, CIM-506, FH-901, CIM-498,) were observed to be moderately susceptible and five varieties/advanced lines (PB-843, FH-1000, BH-163, CIM-482, CIM-443) exhibited susceptible response. Five varieties/advanced lines (CIM-534, FH-2000, FH-2006, MNH-732, S-12) were found to be highly susceptible against cotton leaf curl disease, respectively. All the treatments reduced whitefly population and CLCuVD incidence significantly compared to untreated control. Azadirachta indica (Neem) extract was the most active to manage the B. tabaci population. Salicylic acid was at number second and Eucalyptus globules (Sufaida) was at number third whereas Allium sativum (Garlic) and Calotropics procera (Ak, Akund) were at number four and fifth respectively in managing the B. tabaci and CLCuVD. Aloe babadensis (Aloe) and Datura stramonium (Datura) were found less effective compared to other treatments.
