Clothing is not only a need but also is an expression, a way of thinking and a desire.Apparel Manufacturing Industry has to face unlimited variety in clothing styles due to infinite desires.Increasingly fierce competition, fast changing customer demands, decreasing prices, increasing quality demand and reduction in lead time has enforced the apparel industry to select a production system that can face all the challenges. Market competition, loss on price control and frequent changes in the fashion apparel manufacturers have to work with target costing system; so to increase the profit margin garment manufacturers are always in search of higher production speed for the purpose of increasing machine and labor utilization leading towards reduction in per unit cost. In the current state of market competition, volatility of product styles and unavailability of control on the prices it is becoming a crying need of the apparel companies to design its production system and line layout in such a way that the highest productivity can be achieved without disturbing the quality level because an improper line management or improper sequence of stitching operations may lead towards under utilization of labor force.Invention of different production systems is the result of thirst of optimization by improving layout efficiency, best material handling method and facilitating the machine operator. This research is going to search that how different stitching production systems in denim jeans industry satisfy productivity needs through minimizing the production time and increasing quality level and why different stitching production systems are implemented in the same market.In this study the researcher will examine the production management systems (Unit Production System and Progressive Bundle System) of denim jeans manufacturing industry in Pakistan. This research is a case study research so two companies ?Master Textile Mills Ltd.? and ?Umer Siddiq Apparel & Textile (Pvt) Ltd.? are selected as unit of analysis.The research has analyzed the line layouts, cutting averages, Production Capacity, Operational Breakup, Defect Hundred per Unit (DHU), Line Production Efficiency, Operation wise Time Study and wages rates in the Unit Production System and Progressive Bundle System. No Production System is best or worst and not it satisfy all the constraints of the real world but the alignment of a system with the companies goals, resources and management makes it good; and the proper management, design and control ensures to make Production System reliable. The research work provides a guiding map for the production managers as performance evaluation methodology. The results also help in the selection of appropriate production system as per the goals of the company.

پروفیسر ظہیر احمد صدیقی

پروفیسر ظہیر احمد صدیقی
افسوس ہے کہ ۱۷؍ فروری ۲۰۰۳؁ء کو پروفیسر ظہیر احمد صدیقی نے داعی اجل کو لبیک کہا، ان کی پیدائش ۱۹۲۹؁ء میں بدایوں میں ہوئی تھی اور وہ مولانا ضیاء بدایونی سابق صدر شعبہ فارسی کے صاحبزادے تھے، علی گڑھ میں تعلیم مکمل کرنے کے بعد یہیں استاذ ہوئے، مگر جلد ہی دہلی کالج اور پھر دہلی یونیورسٹی کے شعبہ اردو سے وابستہ ہوئے اور پروفیسر اور ڈین کے عہدے پر فائز ہوئے۔ حکیم مومن خاں مومن سے ان کی دلچسپی موروثی تھی، ان کی شخصیت اور فن پر ایک کتاب لکھی تھی، خواجہ میر درد، مولانا حالی اور فانی بدایونی پر بھی کتابیں یادگار چھوڑی ہیں، فکری زاویے اور احساس و ادراک ان کے مجموعہ مضامین ہیں، انجمن ترقی اردو ہند سے ان کا گہرا تعلق تھا، وہ اس کے نائب صدر تھے، اردو کے اچھے استاذ، ادیب، نقاد اور مصنف ہونے کے علاوہ بڑے خلیق اور شریف انسان تھے، ہر شخص سے خلوص و محبت سے پیش آتے تھے، وظیفہ یاب ہونے کے بعد علی گڑھ میں سکونت اختیار کرلی تھی، یہیں کی خاک کا پیوند بھی ہوئے، اﷲ تعالیٰ غریق رحمت کرے اور پس ماندگان کو صبر جمیل عطا کرے، آمین۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی۔ اپریل ۲۰۰۳ء)

Blashphemy Law and its Interpretation a Pakistans Perspective

Blasphemy law is considered as very basic law in the Muslim societies. This study aims to examine the blasphemy law of Pakistan in historical perspective. Qualitative research designs and discourse analysis techniques have been used to analyse the existing data. In Indian Subcontinent, during the Muslim rules, blasphemy law was being followed and practiced in accordance with principles of Islam. During British regime, it has throughout been demand of the Muslim for legislation of Blasphemy Law. During this period, by acceding to Muslims’ demand, it was introduced but with lesser punishment, even lesser than those which was there in the law of England. In this article, history of the blasphemy law and its interpretation, including conformity with Islamic principles as judged by the Federal Shariat Court, has been documented. In the end, its present status, or restatement of this law, has be unearthed with some suggestions, which have though been alluded to in decisions of the courts, but have not been ever discussed.

Analysis of Organophosphates Pesticides in Blood Samples of Agricultural Spray Workers

Numerous health disorders are associated with human occupational exposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides and these pesticides impose serious public health problems. Agricultural workers are at high risk of exposure to hazards of OP pesticides. Evaluation of the pesticide effects on hematological, serological and immunological parameters is necessary to determine the adverse effects of excessive use of pesticides. In the presentstudycomplete blood count, liver enzyme level, acetylcholinestrase activity, serum immunoglobulin, pesticides residues level, and molecular detection of tuberculosis among agricultural workers of District Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan, were investigated. Data were collected through questionnaires from 200 professional agricultural spray workers and 100 agricultural non-spray workers (control) ranging in age between 20 to 60 years. The most commonly reported signs and symptoms were feeling of vomiting (males 22%, females 42%) and skin irritation (males 32%, females 28%)after spraying. Generally, inadequate protective measures were observed by these pesticidal spray workers : only 16.5% male and 32% female workers used gloves while 12.5% males and 6% females used face masks during their field spray work.The blood parameters, such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, of spray workers and non-spray workers were also investigated. WBC and RBC levels of male sprayers and non-sprayers were statistically significantly (P < 0.05) different. In female spray workers, the WBC and neutrophils levels were significantly different as compared to non-spray workers. Overall, in both male and female pesticides-exposed spray workers, mean values of ALT and AST were higher as compared to nonexposed workers. This research revealed abnormal level of acetylcholinestrase (AChE) due to the exposure to multiple pesticides; serum AChE activity level was reduced in male as well as female spray workers as compared to the corresponding control subjects. Mean unit value of AChE in male spray workers was 0.16 U/ mL (min = -0.10 U/ mL and max = 0.66 U/ mL) and in non-spray workers was 0.44 U/ mL (min =0.01 U/ mL and max = 0.93 U/ mL); these values were significantly (P < 0.05) different statistically. Similarly, highly significant differences (P< 0.05) was observed in female spray workers, i.e., 0.41 U/ mL (min = 0.06 U/ mL and max = 0.93 U/ mL) and non-spray workers : 0.65 U/ mL (min =0.32 U/ mL and max = 1.1 U/ mL). ix Immunotoxicity in spray workers with a significant difference of IgA and IgM (P = 0.033 and P = 0.000) in male spray workers and non-spray workers, respectively, was also observed. Significant differences of immunoglobulin IgM and IgA (P = 0.000) and P = 0.000) were also observed in female spray workers and non-spray workers. Non-significant difference was observed for IgE (P = 0.928) level in male spray workers and non-spray workers. Likewise, non-significant difference was also observed for IgE (P= 0.425) levels in female spray workers and non-spray workers.Molecular detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) and Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) was carried out by targeting histone-like protein (hupB) gene in cultured sputum samples of spray workers.Mycobacteriumtuberculosis was detected in 15% male sprayers and 36% female sprayers, while M. bovis was detected in 5% male sprayers and 10% female sprayers. A chi-square test indicated thata significant difference (P < 0.05) existed between positive and negative M. tuberculosis and M. bovis in both male and female spray workers. The susceptibility of pesticides-exposed spray workers to tuberculosis and alterations in hematological and liver enzymes is crucial for health. Results indicated that blood serum samples of spray workers were contaminated with various OPs. Among spray workers (n=200) the OP insecticide, chlorpyrifos, was detected in 18 (12%) male blood serum samples and 7 (14%) female blood serum samples, whereas profenophos was detected in 9 (6%) male serum samples and 3(6%) blood serum samples of females spray workers. Pesticides residues of imidacloprid were detected in 25 (16.6%) males and malathion in 13 (8.6%) males and 3 (6%) females, whiledichlorovos was detected in 2 (4%) females. The OP pesticides detected in the serum samples of spray workers were chlorpyrifos (1.4μg/L), profenophos (1.29 μg/L), imidacloprid (0.14 μg/L) and malathion (1.40 μg/L); dichlorovos was not detected in male spray workers.In female spray workers, chlorpyrifos (1.39 μg/L) profenophos (1.23 μg/L), and malathion (1.40 μg/L) anddichlorovos (0.03 μg/L) were detected but imidacloprid was not detected in blood serum of spray workers, respectively.From the results of the present study it can be concluded that frequent use of highly toxic pesticides, inadequate or no use of personal protective equipment and poor hygienic practices are the main reasons for the symptoms of pesticides toxicity in spray workers.
