سید محبوب رضوی
بڑے افسوس اوردکھ کی بات ہے کہ ہمارے عزیز دوست جناب سید محبوب رضوی صاحب اچانک۲۵/مارچ کو راہی ملک بقاہوگئے۔مرحوم نے اچھے خاصے ظہر کی نماز چھتے کی مسجد میں ادا کی، فراغت کے بعد سینے میں کچھ درد محسوس ہوا تو فوراً ایک رکشا کرکے گھر روانہ ہوئے لیکن ابھی گھر پہنچے بھی نہ تھے کہ مرغ روح قفس عنصری سے پرواز کرگیا۔اناﷲ واناالیہ راجعون۔
مرحوم دارالعلوم دیوبند سے فراغت کے بعد ہمہ تن دارالعلوم کی خدمت کے لیے وقف ہوگئے۔انھوں نے مختلف دفتری خدمات بڑی دیانت داری، محنت اور قابلیت سے انجام دیں۔ اُن کو مطالعہ تحقیق اورتصنیف وتالیف کااعلیٰ ذوق قدرت کی طرف سے عطاہوا تھا، وہ دیوبند کے مایۂ نازادیب محقق مؤرخ اور مصنف تھے۔ اُن کاآخری شاندار کارنامہ ’تاریخ دارالعلوم دیوبند‘ کی دو جلدیں ہیں۔ عادات وفضائل کے اعتبار سے نہایت دین دار، عابد وزاہد، معاملہ فہم، خوش اخلاق اور دیانت دار تھے۔ اس میں شبہ نہیں کہ اُن کی وفات دارالعلوم کاایک عظیم نقصان ہے۔اللھم اغفرلہ وارحمہ۔ [اپریل۱۹۷۹ء]
The growing number of diabetes coupled with the harsh side effects of some synthetic drugs has led to the increasing search for alternative medicine which are relatively cheap with minimum side effects. Objective: To investigate the anti-diabetic effect of ethanolic extract of Carica papaya and Psidiumguajava extracts separately and in combination, and the effect of treatment on hepato-renal performance. Methods: Papaya and guava leaves were macerated in 98% ethanol for extraction. Results: The result showed that ethanolic leaf extract of P. Guajava and C. Papaya significantly (P< 0.05) reduced blood glucose level, Total Cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and significant increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) as compared to diabetic control group. Serum activities of liver enzymes such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was slightly elevated that indicate hepatotoxic nature of plant extracts. The level of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), bilirubin and HbA1C level were restored to normal range. A slight reduction in body weight (P>0.05) of treated groups was observed. Serum urea and creatinine concentration was restored to normal level in treated rats with regeneration of kidney function. Conclusions: The study concluded that individual and combined plant extract show anti-hyperglycemic effect but the combined remedy at this dose show hepatotoxicity
This study examines the impact of free cash flow on performance of textile industry of Pakistan, in the light of free cash flow hypothesis stated by Jensen (1986).A sample of sixty seven (67) textile companies listed at Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has been used for a period of six years from 2012 to 2017.Return on Assets (ROA) is used as a measure of Performance, a dependent variable.Free Cash Flow (FCF) is an independent variable of the study; three control variables i.e. Financial Leverage, Firm Size and Firm Growth are also included in the analysis. The findings of the studyare based on regression analysis of entire industry and its subsectors (i.e. composite, spinning and weaving). The results show significant positive relationship between free cash flow and performance and significant negative relationship between financial leverage and performance in entire textile industry and in its subsectors as well. Findings of the study also have implications for various stakeholders of the industry.
