In contemporary era, everyone is striving for his existence. This mess leads towards some type of stress. Everyone has to endure stress in his daily life. People face different forms of stress like, domestic stress, occupational stress, physical stress, mental stress, emotional stress, interpersonal stress etc. Managing stress and time are the most crucial, yet neglected management skills (Whetten & Cameron, 2011). According to Health and Safety Executives, stress is the adverse reaction, people have to face excessive pressure or other types of demands placed on them. Stress refers to the strain from the conflict between our external environment and us, leading to emotional and physical pressure (Shukla & Garg, 2013). Stress has been researched for decades, but its new dimensions are emerging day by day. Every occupation has some specific type of stress, occupations like teaching, management, business, banking, etc have their own types of stress. Same is for Mobile Telecom sector, that rendered services to the public, faces its own specific type of stress for employees and its stake holders. Job stress initiates when demands exceed abilities, while job related burnout are reactions or effects resulting from the occurrence of stress (Westman, 2010).Job stress is one of the major concerns of the business world. Job stress, if efficiently managed can boost any business as well as employee?s performance. There are many factors, which may cause job stress like environment, management style, leadership style, pay, promotion, etc. There is a wide range of research in this category of stress. In the current study, some relatively new aspects of job stress in the context of the Mobile Telecom sector in Pakistan have been evaluated like, disruptive innovation, technological change, lack of skill set and job uncertainty. Actually, everything that creates chaos can upset the routine and may cause physical and psychological threat is called stress (author?s conceptualization). It has many types, many levels, and many symptoms. It is a great threat to commitment and performance. When stress increases beyond the limit, it brings with itself major physical, psychological, and negative emotional symptoms like headache, frustration, anxiety and tiredness. It has appalling effects on human body like low energy level, muscle tension, heart diseases, chronic insomnia (Onciul, 1996). Same like, it has a significant effect on employee?s commitment towards the organization. Organizational commitment is about employees? perception and attachment regarding their organization (Gemmiti, 2008). It is employees? affiliation towards their organization. Committed employees constitute the best human capital of any organization and prove as a strategic asset (Beer, 2009). Organizations struggle hard to make the employees loyal, committed and strive to convert non-committed employees into committed employees. Among three dimensions of commitment, like affective, normative and continuous commitment, affective commitment has been discussed in this study.The normative commitment refers to the workforce?s mind-set of responsibility and obligation to continue the job with the organization while the continuance commitment can be defined as the costs that employees correlate with parting the organization (Allen & Meyer, 1990). Affective commitment is all about affiliation, attachment, loyalty and the positive reaction in all kinds of circumstances towards the organization (Alvi, Hanif, Adil, Ahmed, & Vveinhardt, 2014). It is a major concern for organizations to materialize the things, which make an employee committed and the things forbid an employee to be committed. A stressed employee is not a committed employee. Many researchers have proved it that occupational stress has a positive relation with organizational commitment (Jackson & Rothmann, 2006; Velnampy & SA, 2013). In conclusion, commitment is a combination of three factors like complete acceptance of values and goals on the part of employees, devoted efforts for the organization and desire to remain the member of the organization (Vakola & Nikolaou, 2005). Top management must incorporate the action plan to measure the stress symptoms among the employees for addressing the major anti commitment factors among employees. In this research, job stress along with stress symptoms (physical, emotional, behavioral and psychological) and their relationship with an affective organizational commitment of employees of the Mobile Telecom sector, will be explained. The statement of the problem is the impact of job stress on the organizational affective commitment of employees of the Mobile Telecom sector in Pakistan.

جابر علی سید(۱۹۲۳ء۔۱۹۸۵ء) سیالکوٹ میں پیدا ہوئے۔ ۱۹۴۲ء میں ادیب فاضل کیا اور بنگلور چلے گئے۔ جہاں اپنے بھائی تراب علی کے ساتھ انگریزوں کو اردوپڑھاتے رہے۔ عالمی جنگ ختم ہونے کے بعد سیالکوٹ چلے آئے۔۱۹۴۷ء میں اورینٹل کالج سے فارسی میں ایم۔اے کیا۔ اس کالج میں آپ نے ڈاکٹر سید عبداﷲ اور صوفی تبسم جیسے اساتذہ سے کسبِ فیض کیا۔ ۱۹۵۳ء میں گورنمنٹ کالج جھنگ میں فارسی کے لیکچرار مقرر ہوئے۔(۸۲۵)

جابر علی سید ایک اچھے شاعر، ادیب، نقاد ،محقق ،ماہر لسانیات و عروض اور مشفق متواضع اُستاد تھے۔ جابر علی سید کی وفات کے بعد حمید اختر فائق نے ان کے شعری مجموعے کو ’’موجِ آہنگ ‘‘کے نام سے ۱۹۹۹ء میں مرتب کر کے شائع کیا۔

جابر علی سید کے دور کے شعرا صنفِ نظم میں شاعری کر رہے تھے۔ آزاد شاعری کے لیے نئے نئے تجربات کیے جارہے تھے۔ جابر نے بھی نظم میں خیالات و افکار کو ڈھالنا شروع کر دیا تھا۔ نظم کے ساتھ آپ نے غزل کو بھی اپنایا۔ آپ غزل کی فطری دلکشی ،اس کی اہمیت و افادیت سے پوری طرح واقف تھے۔اس لیے آپ نے غزل گوئی کو ذریعہ اظہار بنایا۔ ان کی پہلی غزل ادبی دنیا میں شائع ہوئی۔(۸۲۶)آپ نے اردو غزل میں ہیئت اور بحر کے نئے نئے تجربے کیے۔ اس لیے کہ آپ علم عروض سے دلچسپی رکھتے تھے۔ آپ نے اردو میں بعض بحروں کو روشناس کروایا۔ آپ نے اپنی غزلوں میں نئے الفاظ، نئے محاورے اور نئی ترکیبیں استعمال کیں۔ اُن کی غزلوں میں اُن کی شخصیت کی بہت سی داخلی کیفیات اور ان کے شعور و لا شعور میں اٹھنے والے ہنگاموں اور طوفانوں کا ذکرملتا ہے۔انھوں نے اپنی شاعری میں زبان کی صفائی ،شائستگی اور عمدگی پر پوری توجہ دی۔ جب وہ مروجہ لفظوں کے ساتھ ساتھ نئی تراکیب اور...

السلم و السلام و تطبيقا تھا في ضوء السيرة النبوية

There is no doubt that Islam is a religion of peace which ensures peace regionally and globally in the light of its teachings. It is not only a religion of worship, but it is a religion includes ethics and caring for others and takes care of the rights of individuals as well as society. The life of Prophet Muhammad, r is the best role model in creating world peace atmosphere as He had ordered his followers and believers to realize peace in their societies. Islam guarantees peace even in war situation as it provides full protection and refuge to all those innocents who do not participate in the war. It is not unknown now that the contemporary world is witnessing events that souls hate and hearts alienate which caused racisms and populism and that their effects threatened communities and destroy firm foundations of peace. So in this contemporary perspective, the importance of research and writing about world peace increases subject to all of the studies levels, whether in universities or conferences especially in light of the biography of Holy Prophet Muhammad r. In this research, I will focus on the following points: Peace and its practical examples in of Holy Prophet Muhammad r. Explanation about the concept of peace and its practice in life of Holy Prophet Muhammad r. Clarifying the most prominent contemporary security challenges in the light of the Prophet's biography. Discussion on common misconceptions about Global peace matter and their correction in the sacred Biography of the Prophet Muhammad r

Assessment of Health Status of Captive Pheasants Through Blood Profiling and Fecal Parasite Analysis in the Punjab Province

The present study was designed to evaluate the assessment of health status through blood profiling and fecal parasite analysis in three species of pheasants in captive facilities of Punjab.The total 75 blood and fecal samples were collected to determine hematological parameters and prevalence of parasites. Hematological parameters including Total Red Blood Cell Count, Hemoglobin, Packed cell volume, Mean Corpuscular Volume, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration, Total White Blood Cell Count, Platelets, Granulocytes, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, and Neutrophils, and Plasma Chemical parametersUrea, ALT, AST, Creatinine, Iron, Total Protein and Albumin were calculated. The comparison of mean value of all the parameters among male and female in silver pheasants showed that HGB, MCV, MCH, MCHC, Urea, AST, Iron and Total protein was differ highly significantly (P<0.01) and RBCs and creatinine was significantly (P<0.05). In male and female ring necked pheasants RBCs, HGB, MCH, Neut, Urea and Iron was differ highly significantly (P<0.01) and HCT, MCHC, PLT, AST and creatinine was significantly (P<0.05). In male and female green pheasants MCHC and ALT was differ highly significantly (P<0.01) and GRAN, Neut and creatinine was significantly (P<0.05), and all the other parameters in male and female of three species of pheasants were differ non-significantly (P>0.05). The prevalence of endoparasite in all three species was ranged from 36%-56%. The highest prevalence recorded in ring-necked pheasants 56%, followed by silver pheasants 44% and green pheasants 36%. The overall prevalence of endoparasites was 45.3%. The prevalence of endoparasite among all the nine different facilities differ highly significant (P<0.01) and its range from 0-83.3%. The comparison between male and female parasites of all three species shows that females were (48.8%) more infected as compared to male (40%). The total five species of endoparasites in all pheasants were recorded i.e. Ascradia galli (28%), Capillaria annulate (38.2%), Heterakis gallinarum (47%), Strongyloides avium (17.6%) and Eimeria sp (20%). The present study provides base line value of hematology and plasma chemistry of apparently healthy pheasants in captivity and can be used as reference values to improve the management practices of these species. The high prevalence of parasites needs to be re-evaluated to assess efficacy and possible nematodicide resistance of these parasites.
