Liver is an essential organ that controls around various physiological functions such as production of bile, plasma proteins, and hormones aids in digestion and detoxification of drugs as well. Drug induced liver injury (DILI) is the principal cause of acute liver failure (ALF) in various countries. There is a broad array of anti-psychotic drugs (APDs) which are used to treat bipolar disorders most commonly schizophrenia and other neuro-psychotic disorders. One of the two famous anti-psychotic agents; aripiprazole and ziprasidone belong to atypical class of anti-psychotics. Although APDs are currently being used all over the world yet these drugs have displayed many side effects. In-vivo estimation of acute liver injury level by APDs therefore bears significance so as to determine the efficacy and identify potential health hazards. Current study will determine the liver injury induction potential of APDs in animal model.To induce acute liver injury, acetaminophen (APAP) was used. The foremost drug responsible for DILI is APAP which induces oxidative stress and dysfunction of mitochondria. Collection of blood samples was done in aseptic conditions, and collected serum was subjected to biochemical estimations. Serum ALP and ALT levels has been assessed to determine the effect of APDs on liver functioning efficiency. Estimation of serum ferritin has provided iron storage estimation. Moreover, the study had also evaluated the renal efficiency changes induced by APDs via estimation of urea and creatinine levels. HDL, LDL, TG and cholesterol levels were also estimated to identify the effect of these drugs on lipid profile. Thus, the study will provide a rationale for the utilization of APDs and their effects on a body system, in comparison to APAP induced acute liver injury.

معاشی ترقی میں تعلیم کا کردار

معاشی ترقی میں تعلیم کا کردار
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز سامعین اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کا موقع فراہم کیا گیا ہے وہ ہے:’’معاشی ترقی میں تعلیم کا کردار ‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
ہر شخص یہ چاہتا ہے کہ معاشرے میں میرا مقام بلند ہو جائے ، مجھے لوگ امیر انسان تصور کریں۔ میرے مشوروں پرعمل کیا جائے ، میری رائے کو اہمیت دی جائے ، میری شخصیت مسحور کن ہوں ،میری عادات متوازن ہوں ، میر ااٹھنا بیٹھنا معیاری ہو ، میری نشت و برخاست میں آن بان اور شان کی جھلک نمایاں ہو۔ میں طلسماتی شخصیت کا مالک ہوں۔
جنابِ صدر!
ان تمام اعزازات کے حصول کے لیے درعلم و حکمت پر دستک دینا پڑے گی ، اپنی معاشی حیثیت کو بحال کرنا ہوگا، کیونکہ جس کے گھر میں خوردونوش کا سامان نہ ہو، اس کی سوچ کے انداز تبدیل ہو جاتے ہیں وہ صرف یہ سوچتا ہے کہ رات کا کھانا کہاں سے آئے گا، بچوں کا پیٹ کس طرح پالا جائے گا، بچوں کو ڈھانپنے کے لیے کپڑے کہاں سے آئیں گے۔ اس کو اور کسی بات سے غرض نہیں۔
محترم صدر!
معاشی ترقی کے لیے تعلیم اہم کردار ادا کرتی ہے۔ تعلیم کے حصول سے نہ صرف انسان معاشی طور پر مضبوط ہو جاتا ہے بلکہ اس کی ترقی مثالی ہو جاتی ہے۔ جسمانی لوازمات کو پورا کرنے کے ساتھ ساتھ تعلیم اس کو روحانی تازگی اور تراوٹ بھی فراہم کرتی ہے اور نا جائز ذرائع سے معاشی آسودگی کا خواہش مندتحصیل علم کے بعد اپنی اسی خواہش کی تکمیل میں کوشاں رہتاہے۔
لاتی ہے گلستاں میں معیشت کی یہ بہار
تعلیم کی یہ جستجو ضائع نہیں جاتی
جنابِ...

Parental Factors Affecting Student's Self-Concept and Academic Performance Amid Modular Distance Learning

Nelda B. Caasi Palawan National School, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines Parental factors impact students’ self-concept and academic performance during the pandemic. Thus, this study determined the students’ self-concept and academic performance and the parental factors related to it. The research design was descriptive-correlational, and 500 nonrandom college students in West Philippines participated in the study. Researcher-made instruments were used, which were subjected to reliability and validity evaluation. Data were collected online from June 2021 to July 2022 and were analyzed using descriptive (frequency counts and percentage) and inferential statistics (Spearman correlation). Results revealed a positive self-concept and satisfactory academic performance among the students. Besides, parental factors such as educational attainment and school/classroom involvement are significantly related to self-concept and academic performance. Further, self-concept is significantly associated with academic performance. This shows that some parental factors are vital in developing the student’s self-beliefs and supporting their studies and academic endeavors amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Future studies may consider more factors related to academic achievement and self-concept. Other researchers may find the mediation or moderation effect of self-concept between parental factors and students’ scholastic achievement.

Teaching Essay Writing Through Inquiry Based Learning to ESL Learners

Teaching Essay Writing Through Inquiry Based Learning to ESL Learners The present research investigates the effectiveness of using Inquiry Based Learning in teaching essay writing skills to ESL learners. 40 ESL learners were selected from two sections from International Islamic University Female Campus Islamabad, Pakistan and divided into two groups; control and experimental. The control group was taught essay writing skill through the traditional method; while the experimental group was taught through Inquiry Based Approach. The lesson plans were developed according to 5E Inquiry Based Model and administered to the experimental group. This research is quantitative and experimental in nature and as such follows a comparison between control and experimental groups using pre and post-tests. The other secondary research instruments are questionnaire based on five point likert scale and the reflective comments of the students to get feedback of experimental group at the end of the study. Pre and post-tests and questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively using SPSS. However, students' reflective comments were analyzed qualitatively through content analysis. Results and interpretations of data proved the hypothesis and confirmed that Inquiry Based Approach is helpful in improving essay writing skills of ESL learners. This (approach was found more effective than traditional method of teaching writing skills as it enhanced learners' critical thinking skills and autonomy). On the basis of the findings some suggestions are presented to English language teachers of Pakistan to solve the problems of ESL learners of Pakistan in essay writing.
