مِلّی،دینی اورعلمی حلقوں میں یہ خبرانتہائی رنج وغم کے ساتھ سنی گئی کہ سابق امیرجماعت اسلامی ہند حضرت مولاناابواللیث صدیقی ندوی اس ماہ دسمبر ۱۹۹۰ء میں طویل علالت کے بعد انتقال فرماگئے ۔ اِنَّالِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّا اِلَیْہِ راجعُون۔
مرحوم مولانا ابواللیث بڑے جیدعالم دین تھے۔عربی کے اسکالر تھے۔ مگراس کے باوجود سادگی وشرافت کے پیکر مجسّم تھے۔خاموش طبع تھے مگر بلاکے ذہین اوردانشوروں میں ان کاشمار ہوتاتھا۔۱۹۴۷ء کے پُر آشوب دور میں انہوں نے ہندوستان ہی میں دین اسلام اورمسلمانوں کی خدمت کرنے کابیڑہ اٹھانے کاعزم مصمم کیا۔اوران کی اعلیٰ کارکردگی ، کامیاب قیادت سے ملّت کو فیض بھی حاصل ہوا۔
مفکّر ملّت حضرت مفتی عتیق الرحمن عثمانی ؒسے ان کوبڑا گہرا لگاؤ تھا۔ان کی تعظیم وتکریم کرتے تھے اورملّی مسائل میں ان کے مشوروں سے فیضیاب بھی ہوتے رہے۔خود حضرت مفتی صاحبؒ بھی ان کی علمی قابلیت کے معترف تھے۔ مجلس مشاورت کے سلسلے میں ان کی خدمات سے انہوں نے بھرپور استفادہ بھی حاصل کیا۔ان میں متانت کُوٹ کُوٹ کربھری ہوئی تھی۔ان کے انتقال پرعظیم مذہبی رہنما وعالم دین حضرت مولانا ابوالحسن علی میاں ندوی صاحب مدظلہٗ نے صحیح کہا ہے کہ ان کے انتقال سے ملّت ہند ایک سچّے رہنما مخلص انسان سے محروم ہوگئی ہے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ کروٹ کروٹ جنّت نصیب کرے۔اٰمین! [دسمبر ۱۹۹۰ء]
Background of the Study: Lockdown was implemented worldwide to limit the spread of COVID-19. This sudden implementation of lockdown causes significant lifestyle changes for every individual. Along with the general population, it also has psychological, behavioral, and physical consequences on athletes. The study objective is to determine the occurrence of lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries during the COVID-19 lockdown in athletes.
Methodology: Retrospective cross-sectional study design was used, and participants were recruited by a non-probability convenient sampling technique. A sample size of 147 was taken as calculated by the Raosoft software, and the study was completed 6 months. Both male and female athletes between the age group of 18-35 years, participants who did not participate in any official training session during the lockdown and registered at domestic level for at least 2 years were recruited from Pakistan Sports Board and Wapda Sports Complex Lahore. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire was used to identify the problematic painful areas of body. Data entry, analysis, and interpretation were done by using SPSS software version 22.0.
Results: The mean age and BMI of participants were 25.6531±4.49 (years) and 23.28±3.24 (kg/m2) respectively. From the total, 39.5% of participants reported lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries. And most reported problematic areas include lower back and knee. 75% of participants continue to do workouts at home as a prevention strategy against injury occurrence.
Conclusion: This concluded that the occurrence of lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries during the lockdown was moderate.
This research was done to recognize plant parasitic nematode related to walnut (Juglans regia L.) in Hazara Division, KP, Pakistan. Phytonematodes are of great concern as they are potential pest of plants including crops and trees. Their infestation resulted in yield loss and poor plant growth. Symptoms included stunted growth, yellowing of foliage, early flowering, excessive branching, root lesions and root galls, root tip death and root knots which resulted in adverse effects on the plant. The identified nematode species included Helicotylenchus dihystera, Helicotylenchus digonicus, Helicotylenchus pseudorobustus, Helicotylenchus vulgaris, Helicotylenchus canadensis, Helicotylenchus larvae, Aphelenchus avenae, Tylenchus sp., Tylenchus filiformis, Tylenchus ritae, Pratylenchus vulnus, Pratylenchus neglectus, Pratylenchus penetrans, Trichodorus sp., Meloidogyne larvae, Basiria bajorensis, Basiria kashmirensis and Basiria graminophila from Mansehra and Helicotylenchus vulgaris, Helicotylenchus dihystera, Tylenchus sp., Psilenchus hilarulus and Meloidogyne incognita from Abbottabad. Among identified nematodes Meloidogyne larvae (root-knot nematode), Pratylenchus vulnus, P. neglectus, P. penetrans (root-lesion nematodes) and Trichodorus sp. (Stubby root nematode) were of major concern. Management of phytonematodes is of great importance. In this study inorganic (Carbofuran) and organic (poultry manure, cow dung, horse manure, pigeon manure, castor oil cakes, duck manure, Saw dust) were used for the management and it was found that all amendments were effective against parasitic phytonematodes associated with walnut trees. Organic amendments were effective in the sequence like castor oil > poultry manure > cow dung > pigeon manure > horse manure > duck manure > saw dust. As organic amendments are eco-friendly and easily available therefore, their use is more recommendable as compared to chemical nematicides. Histopathology of the infected walnut roots by Meloidogyne sp. showed that roots were damaged due to nematode activity to a greater extend. Cortex and vascular tissues were completely destroyed. It was observed that feeding sites were induced along with giant cells with egg masses by the second stage juveniles. Cells with multinuclei and densed cytoplasm were observed. Necrosis of the root along with hypertrophy was also seen.
