حیات اﷲ انصاری

حیات اﷲ انصاری
افسوس ہے کہ ۱۸؍ فروری کو جناب حیات اﷲ انصاری کا انتقال ہوگیا، وہ مشہور صحافی ادیب، افسانہ نگار اور اردو تحریک کے رہنما تھے، ۱۹۱۱؁ء میں ان کی ولادت لکھنؤ میں ہوئی، فرنگی محل کے مشہور علمی و دینی خانوادے سے ان کا تعلق تھا، یہیں کے مدرسہ نظامیہ میں فارسی و عربی پڑھی اور درسیات کی تکمیل کی، اپنے والد مولانا وحیداﷲ کے انتقال کے بعد لکھنؤ یونیورسٹی سے فاضل ادب کیا۔ انٹرنس پاس کرکے علی گڑھ مسلم یونیورسٹی میں داخل ہوئے اور بی۔اے کیا۔
۳۷ء میں کانگریس کا ہفت روزہ اخبار ’’ہندوستان‘‘ ان کی ادبی و صحافتی سرگرمیوں کی جولان گاہ بنا۔ اب تو اس کا نام بھی کم ہی لوگ جانتے ہیں لیکن اس وقت کے اکثر ممتاز ادیبوں اور شاعروں کی نگارشات اس میں چھپتی تھیں، یہ ۱۹۴۲؁ء کے ہنگامی دور میں بند ہوگیا اور ۱۹۴۵؁ء میں ’’قومی آواز‘‘ جاری ہوا تو اس کی ادارت حیات اﷲ صاحب نے اس طرح سنبھالی کہ وہ اور قومی آواز لازم ملزوم سمجھے جانے لگے، وہ اس کے بانی مدیر تھے، انہوں نے اس کا معیار و وقار بہت بلند کیا اور اس کے لیے بڑی قربانیاں دیں، اس کے ذریعہ انہوں نے اردو اور مسلمانوں کی مذہبی و ثقافتی خدمت انجام دی اور ہندو مسلم فرقہ پرستی کے خلاف لڑائی بھی لڑی۔ قومی آواز کی بدولت بہت سے لوگ اچھے صحافی بن گئے، ۳۰ برس بعد ۷۵؁ء میں وہ ریٹائر ہوئے، ان کے بعد بھی یہ اخبار نکلتا رہا، مگر اب ساقی تو موجود ہیں لیکن آں قدح بشکست قومی آواز سے الگ ہونے کے بعد بھی ان کو صحافت کا چسکا لگا رہا، کچھ عرصہ تک دہلی سے ہفتہ روزہ ’’سب ساتھ‘‘ نکالا۔

الحبك النصي وعلاقته بالنص القرآنيدراسة نظرية في ضوء التراث النقدي والبلاغي

The concept of coherence is not only a semantics one that exists within the meaning of text; it refers to grammatical continuity of a text that accurs within surface and deep structure of the discourse، and that define it as a text/discourse. That is why the study of coherence is important in textual linguistics، especially in the Text of Holy Qur’ān. Therefore the ancient researchers have chosen it in different ways in the Qur’ānic textual analysis. The ancient Arab started the study of Coherence to prove the Qur’ānic text as “Moʻjiza” and “iʻjāz” because of its organization and arrangement of text according the “Naẓm” “Insijām” “Ittisāq” “Iltiḥām” and many others. The English term that substitutes these terms is just Cohesion and Coherence. So we can say that the Arab were doing well about the discourse/textual analysis of the texts, especially the Qur’ānic textual coherence was their main goal. The Article aims to explore the main roots، elements and aspects of textual coherence in Arabic language. This work differ from previous works in many aspects as it focuses on the concept of coherence and its various aspects particularly in terms of the coherence in Arabic Language in the light of Qur’ānic text.

Impact of Science, Technology & Innovation Sti on Economic Growth and Development in Selected East- South Asian Countries

This theses attempts to investigate whether Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) progress impacts on economic growth exogenously or endogenously. The study prefers two models (Solow exogenous growth model and Romer endogenous growth model). Both models (Solow and Romer) comprise of four variables: output (Y), capital (K), labour (L), and technology (A) (here we say STI progress). The data of output, capital and labour is available but the data of fourth variable technology (here we say STI progress) is not available yet. Therefore, study attempts to develop STI index in numeric form to measure STI progress of the country. Although, STI indicators are used to evaluate impact of research and development on economic growth to some extent by researchers and economists but use of STI indicators in the form index in production function as an input variables is reported first time. Science, Technology and Innovation Index (STII) is developed for 100 top economies (on the basis of average GDP of 21 years) to evaluate, determine and measure the overall technological readiness and preparedness of a country to participate in knowledge base economy. The STI index is the average of aggregate of four dimensions (Support for STI Activities, Research and Development, Knowledge, and Innovation). The STII relies on four dimensions, each built around two or three pillars, each of which is composed of individual indicators, for a total of 44 indicators. Ranking of countries on the basis of STI value is also presented and the countries have been classified into six groups, based on their STII values as: i) Leaders (STII ≥ 0.350), ii) Potential Leaders (0.300 ≤ STII ≤ 0.349), iii) Dynamic Adapters (0.250 ≤ STII ≤ 0.299), iv) Slow Adopters (0.200 ≤ STII ≤ 0.249), v) Marginalized Countries(0.150 ≤ STII ≤ 0.199) and v) Laggard (STII < 0.150). The study introduces STII as a policy variable (by replacing ‘A’ with STII) in both Solow and Romer models to assess the impact of science, technology and innovation (STI) on economic growth exogenously and endogenously. This variable (STII) pertinent to science, technology and innovation polices for developing countries in Solow and Romer model. This variable would be very helpful for policy makers and planners to formulate Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policies for developing countries. To estimate short and long run relationship between STI progress and economic growth, panel data analysis has been carried out. The results of the long-run coefficient in Solow and Romer xxi | P a g e model in all groups of countries are highly significant at 5% level. On the basis of empirical results, we may state that science technology and innovation (STI) is directly, positively and significantly associated with economic growth in the long-run while in the short-run impact of STI on economic growth is insignificant. In Solow the ‘A’=‘STII’ represents the level of science, technology and innovation progress is taken as exogenous because it is determined outside the model, not as a consequence of agents’ actions. Romer introduced an explicit research and development (R&D) sector and production of new technologies in model. It is conceivable, devoting more resource to research yield more discoveries. The only determinant of income in models, other than capital is the enigmatic variable the ‘effectiveness of labor’ represents STI progress whose behaviour taken as endogenous in Romer model. A (STII) L in model is considered to as effective labour and progress in science, technology and innovation that is plausible, more output can be produced at the same quantity of labour and capital that could produce a century ago. It has been observed that value of the coefficient of interest (STI)in Romer model is higher than Solow model in all groups of countries (developing and developed economies). It can be conceived that the impact of science, technology and innovation (refer as STII in model) on economic growth is greater in Romer Model than Solow model. The results indicate that accumulation of STI knowledge is central to worldwide economic growth. Our results confirmed that output / economic growth of the country depends upon the endogenous factors more than exogenous. It has also been found that the impact of STI on economic growth in developing economies is higher as compared to developed economies in both Romer and Solow models. It can be conceived that chance of economic growth in developing economies is higher as compared to the developed economies. The developing economies may get more output by investing and focusing on the R&D and STI development. The results of the study do support the concept that the growth rate of STI knowledge grows at constant rate. It has been found that positive and significant relationship exists between accumulations of STI knowledge and capital & exiting stock of knowledge in all groups of countries but the accumulation of STI knowledge is higher xxii | P a g e in developed countries as compared to the developing countries. It means that production of STI knowledge is not related to growth rate of population. The value of STI knowledge coefficient in highly populated East South Asian countries like China, Japan India, and Pakistan is low as compared to the highly developed (low populated) European countries. This indicates that production of knowledge depends upon the level of STI of the country rather than the population. These results reveal that growth rates of STI knowledge are increasing and resultantly the increase in the growth rate of output per worker continually. Indeed as per Solow model, growth rate of output per worker on the balance growth path is affected by changes in rate of STI progress have growth effects; all other changes have only level effects. The study intends to develop a separate trivariate model for estimating the impact of STI on economic development. HDI is used as dependent variable while capital (K) and STI index are used as independent variable. Data of capital and STII (calculated by author) is available while the data of HDI is not available in required form.Although, the HDI is calculated and published in the form of a Human Development Report (HDR) every year by the UNDP since 1990 but there are, however, variations in its methodology and in the indicators used. Therefore, it is decided to re-calculate the HDI for the current study for 21 years (from 1995-2015) with same three dimensions and indicators by using the same formula as given in the Human Development Report (HDR) 2015 for smoothness and countries are ranked by the 2015 HDI value. The countries are classified into four groups on the basis of their HDI value: i) Very High Human Development (HDI value ≥ 0.800), ii) High Human Development (0.700 ≤ HDI value ≤ 0.790), iii) Medium Human Development (0.500 ≤ HDI value ≤ 0.690), iv) Low Human Development (HDI value <0.500). Econometric techniques have been applied to estimate the influence of STI on economic development. The results of study endorse all economic and others theories speak that impact of STI on economic development in developed countries is higher than the developing countries, conceivably, the developed countries have better infrastructure, human resource, universities, R&D organizations to utilize the scientific development. The developing countries have to improve their infrastructure, environment for STI / R&D to take the miracle advantages of STI and R&D investment. xxiii | P a g e It has also been shown through empirical testing that there is a bi-directional causal relationship between economic growth and STI. It indicates that economic growth cannot be accelerated without STI and STI cannot be enhanced or rose without economic growth. The results of the Pairwise Granger Causality test indicate that STI granger causes economic development (refer as HDI in model) as well as economic development granger cause STI (refer as STII in model). It indicates that bi-directional causality between economic development and science technology and innovation is present. The study also presents a case study regarding the impact of science, technology and innovation on economic growth and development in Pakistan, to seek the information from Pakistani scientists, engineers, technologists and researchers about the impact of STI on economic growth and development. What they think and have opinion about impact of STI on economic growth and development. 305 scientists responded the questionnaire, out of 305, 94% (288) confirm that STI has impact on economic growth and economic development. Out of 288 who responded positively, 74 % scientists think that STI has high impact on economic growth while 71% researchers supported that STI has high impact on economic development, while rest of them considered that STI impact is low or very low on economic growth and development. The survey results support the empirical results of the study that science technology and innovation (STI) is direct, positive and significant association with economic growth and development. At the last, thought provoking policy recommendations and implications for developing countries have been presented. The policy recommendations would be very useful for policy makers and planners. Especially, these are very helpful to upgrade their scientific and technological capabilities in order to remain competent in today’s world economy for developing countries. It is very essential for developing countries, to develop knowledge base economy." xml:lang="en_US
