Academic Social Networks are the representation of researcher?s interaction with other researchers during exchange of information and development of research work. In this research, social network analysis techniques are used to analyze co-authorship networks, and analyze the affiliation changing patterns in researchers for the discipline of business process management. Relationship between the authors, institutes/universities and hosting countries have been analyzed and key contributors have been identified by presenting aggregate analysis of academic social networks and productivity at individuals, institutes and countries is quantified. Additionally our results are compared at individual, institute and at country levels with previous work done based on research work presented in business process management conferences.The study concludes firstly, Wil M. P. van der Aalst and Technology University of Eindhoven have formed largest collaboration networks at individual and institute levels respectively. Secondly, Institutes in USA are producing more research that institutes in Europe. Thirdly, Cooperation between institutes is stronger than cooperation between individual authors.

سید عدید ؔ

سید عدید ؔ(۱۹۶۵ء پ) کا اصل نام تنویر حسین شاہد ہے۔ آپ کھروٹہ سیداں سیالکوٹ میں پیدا ہوئے۔ ایم۔اے اردو گورنمنٹ مرے کالج سیالکوٹ سے کیا۔ ۱۹۸۰ء میں مرے کالج میں آپ حلقہ اربابِ ذوق کے جائنٹ سیکرٹری تھے۔ آپ نے شاعری میں یوسف نیر اور اصغر سودائی سے ابتدائی راہنمائی لی۔ سب سے پہلے مرے کالج کے ادبی رسالے ’’مفکر‘‘ میں آپ کا کلام شائع ہوا۔ ’’بالتحقیق ‘‘ سیالکوٹ اور ’’اخبار جہاں‘‘ لاہور میں بھی ان کا ابتدائی کلام چھپتا رہا۔ (۱۱۴۹) ’’وقت ‘‘ سید عدید کا پہلا شعری مجموعہ ہے۔ جو سیالکوٹ سے ۱۹۸۸ء کو شائع ہوا۔ دوسرا شعری مجموعہ ’’تلاش‘‘۱۹۹۴ء میں شائع ہوا۔ ’’ہم نفس‘‘ تیسرا شعری مجموعہ ہے جو ۱۹۹۵ء میں شائع ہوا۔ آپ کا چوتھا شعری مجموعہ ’’فریب دے کر چلا گیا ہے‘‘ ہے جسے ادیب پبلی کیشنز لاہور نے ۱۹۹۶ء میں شائع کیا۔ ’’محبتوں میں حساب کیا‘‘عدید کا پانچواں شعری مجموعہ ہے جسے الحمد پبلی کیشنز لاہور نے ۱۹۹۸ء میں شائع کیا۔ چھٹا شعری مجموعہ ’’پیاربے اختیار ہوتا ہے‘‘ جسے الحمد پبلی کیشنز لاہور نے ۲۰۰۰ء میں شائع کیا۔ ’’ساتھ تمہار ا اگر ملے‘‘ ساتواں شعری مجموعہ ہے۔ جسے القلم پبلی کیشنز لاہور نے ۲۰۰۶ء میں شائع کیا۔ آٹھواں شعری مجموعہ ’’تیرے بن زندگی‘‘ ہے جسے مراد پبلی کیشنز لاہور نے ۲۰۱۰ء میں شائع کیا۔ اس کے علاوہ ’’وفائیں ساتھ رہتی ہیں‘‘ ،’’گردش‘‘ ،’’تمنادل میں رہتی ہے‘‘، ’’درد کے سمندر میں‘‘،عدید کے زیر طبع کتابوں کے نام ہیں جو جلد شائع ہونے والی ہیں۔کافی مسودے ایسے بھی ہیں جن کے نام ابھی تک تجویز نہیں کیے گئے ہیں۔

                عشق مجازی سید عدیدؔ کی شاعری کا بڑا موضوع ہے۔ ان کے ہاں نسوانی عشق کے ساتھ ساتھ جنون بھی ملتا ہے۔ وہ محبوب کی بات بھی کرتے ہیں اور ا س کے ظلم و ستم کا ذکر بھی کرتے ہیں۔ انھیں اپنے محبوب سے سچی...

سیرت نبوی کی روشنی میں بغاوت (خروج) سے متعلق احکامات کا تحقیقی جائزہ

Islam orders to obey the ruler and not to indulge in activities that may cause disruption & instability of an Islamic state. This research discusses rules & regulations based on sīrah about rebellion (khurūj), and relevant topics from Islamic Jurisprudence. The basic question of this research is whether revolt against the ruler is permissible and what would be the punishment? This research elaborates four types of rebellion. Rulings of Muslim scholars regarding rebellion are subjected to the different positions of rulers. According to all school of thoughts the khurūj is not permitted if the ruler is lawful and serving his community with justice. In contrary, there is difference of opinions about the tyrannous and iniquitous ruler. This article concluded that majority of Muslim Scholars do not permit khurūj in any case, some others laid down very strict conditions in this regard.

Occurrence, Toxicity and Prevention of Acrylamide in Model Systems and Baked Products

Maillard reaction is an imperative reaction that produces flavoring compounds in various food items. Additionally, some toxic compounds are also formed during this non- enzymatic reaction that mainly includes acrylamide and hydroxymethyl furfural. Current research was conducted to detect the concentration of acrylamide production during Maillard reaction in various model systems as well as in bakery items. Moreover, the reduction of acrylamide concentration by using various mitigation strategies was also included in the study plan. For the purpose, Maillard model systems were prepared by utilization of amino acids and reducing sugars. Two amino acids, glutamine and asparagine and two reducing sugars, glucose and fructose were taken and model systems were prepared by heating the samples in Reflux apparatus for 1 hr followed by Clevenger apparatus for 4-6 hrs in the presence of dichloromethane (solvent). About 1ml sample was obtained by evaporation of separated solution in rotary evaporator. Then, acrylamide was examined by using the technique of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Subsequently, mitigation strategies like vacuum oven, calcium chloride and pectin were applied on these model systems and acrylamide was analyzed. Maximum acrylamide concentration was observed by GC-MS in control i.e., 22.37±1.9μg/g, while minimum (3.51±0.5μg/g) was recorded in pectin-treated model system. On the basis of model systems, minimum concentration (9.63±8.1μg/g) was examined in Fructose-Glutamine model system. The two; pectin-treated Fructose/Glutamine (F/Gm) and Glucose/Glutamine (G/Gm) model systems that contained very low amount of acrylamide were selected for further safety and product analysis. For the safety assessment, two selected model systems were added in water as 0.5 and 1% concentration and given to four groups of Sprague-Dawley rats. Control model system, F/Gm that contained less amount of acrylamide was given to the fifth group. Serum analysis, liver function tests, protein tests and renal function tests were performed. It was revealed that minimum values of AST and ALT were observed in group 2 (0.5% pectin-treated G/Gm model system) i.e., 85.33±3.5 and 71.00±3.0IU/L, respectively due to less acrylamide formation. Minimum serum total protein was recorded as 4.73±0.1g/dL in group 3 (1% pectin- treated G/Gm model system), correspondingly. Minimum A/G ratio (0.87±0.12) was recorded in group 1 (control) due to high acrylamide production. Urea explicated significant variation from group 1 (control) to group 5 (1% pectin-treated F/Gm model system) i.e., 92.67±4.0 to 40.00±7.9mg/dL, respectively. Afterwards, bakery products, bread, cookies and chapatti were prepared by using 0.5 and 1% concentration of F/Gm and G/Gm model systems. Acrylamide concentration was determined in bread by using GC-MS and it was found that minimum value of acrylamide (0.07±0.08μg/g) was recorded in T 4 (1% pectin-treated F/Gm model system). Acrylamide content was decreased from 1.93±1.9 to 0.88±1.5μg/g during the entire study. In cookies, minimum acrylamide concentration (0.09±0.09μg/g) was recorded in T 4 (1% pectin-treated F/Gm model system). The acrylamide content was decreased from 1.17±1.6 to 0.52±0.6μg/g during the entire study. In chapattis, high acrylamide concentration (2.39±0.35μg/g) was observed in T 0 (control). Conversely, minimum value of acrylamide concentration (0.11±0.10μg/g) was recorded in T 4 (1% pectin-treated F/Gm model system). Acrylamide content was reduced from 1.4±0.9 to 0.80±0.8μg/g during the entire storage period in chapattis. So, it is concluded that pectin-treated model systems reduced higher quantity of acrylamide content as compared to other mitigation strategies.
