Pakistan itself is a country of more than 135million people with birth rate 25.89%, with population, is incapable to meet the energy demands by production of approximately 64,000bbl/d.high population have high consumption and consequently develops pressure on country for import. According to one estimate resources potential of Pakistan is 200 trillion cubic feet of gas and 40 billion barrels of oil. We have so far been able to find only a small part of these resources and the remaining potential is more than sufficient to challenge the mind of explorer. Pakistan it self is not sufficient to meet the local demand so after the 1999 reforms in oil sector the govt had taken major measures to increase the private investment (both from local and foreign companies), induce the competition in upstream & downstream sector, Accelerate the investment in infrastructure development, deregulation of prices, to break the monopoly of public entity increase the production of refineries so that finished products import can be reduced. The long term vision for these reforms should be that producer would compete among themselves for large consumers (including distributors); the transmission and distribution companies would offer a transportation service (and not be merchants in addition to being transporters); cross border pipelines would enhance competition as well as quality of service; and an independent regulator would promote competitive market conduct. The ultimate purpose of the new policy reforms will be to ensure that there is no more monopoly exist, companies can induct and operate in the market and they are free to obtain the crude from refinery (with in the country) and also they have free will to import the crude and petroleum products from other countries but subject to the availability of their storage capabilities. Now the issue is that how the benefits of competition and efficiency gains are passed on to consumers in terms of quality, service, safety and regular supply although the prices are fixed throughout the country. vi At present near about seven companies are operating in downstream sector as oil marketing companies. The study is conducted on two companies (PSO (public sector) & SHELL (private sector)) because of easy access to data. In this study a competitor’s analysis model is applied on Pso and Shell Company to test the hypothesis that “Companies that make steady gains in mind share and heart share will they inevitably make gains in market share and profitability”. Here a qualitative approach was used for getting better understanding of respondent’s views and empirical data is collected from employees and customers of PSO & Shell. Data analyses were done on the basis of questionnaire design & on study model. Finding from respondents data shown that petroleum products prices are not identical to preference but only other attributes (quality, inventory, supply, other technical services) can increase the customer preference. It is testified and confirmed by many methods.

خود کو دیکھ رہا ہوں کیا ہے

خُود کو دیکھ رہا ہوں کیا ہے
وہ کیوں مجھ کو چھُوڑ گیا ہے

پھر دل غم سے نڈھال ہوا ہے
ہجر تعلق ، ٹوٹ چکا ہے

یاروں سے کیا شِکوہ کرنا
بس یوں ہی دل بھر آیا ہے

اِس دل کی نگری کا راجا
پتھّر ہے یا پتھّر کا ہے

اَب بُلبُل کو شب ہو جائے
کب کوئی جُگنو آتا ہے

کلی جو کھل کر پھول بنی تھی
پھول کسی نے توڑ لیا ہے

سارے پتّے زرد ہوئے ہیں
پیڑ کو کیا غم ہو سکتا ہے!

لوگ پوچھتے ہیں کیا غم ہے
رنگ ترا بھی ناصرؔ سا ہے

ساری دنیا پاس ہے صادقؔ
تو پھر بھی کتنا تنہا ہے

ذرائع ابلاغ کے معاشرے پر منفی اثرات

Media often hypes the basic facts or information and presents them so as to increase the superficial appeal of things. The negative effects of media are seen in terms of media changing the people’s outlook on life. Media have changed the cultural and moral values of society. A majority of the audiences believe in what is depicted by the media. The negative effects of media in particular on children are manifested in terms of their changing mental set-up and the declining quality of their lifestyle. The media that is easily accessible to even small children exposes them to things they need not know and will not understand. This article explains deeply about the Negative effects of media on Society.

Evaluation of Solid Breast Masses Using Sonographic Acr Bi-Rads Lexicon Descriptors

Purpose of the study: To which of the ACR sonographic BIRADS lexicon descriptors can be used reliably to differentiate benign from malignant solid breast masses. Objectives: 1.Main Objective: To determine the association of sonographic ACR BI-RADS descriptors and solid breast masses 2. Specific Objective: To determine the predictive probabilities of sonographic BI-RADS lexicon descriptors Methodology: This was a 15 months prospective cross sectional study in which 125 consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. The study was carried out at theAga KhanUniversity hospitalradiology department between October 2008 and December 2009 inclusive. The scans were performed in ourradiology department by residents and consultant radiologists. The sonographic BI-RADS descriptors were then assigned to the lesions based on the consensus arrived at between the principal investigator and the consultant radiologist. The findings were then correlated with the histological/cytological diagnosis which was the gold standard. The study was approved by the University Research and Ethics Committee Results: 66% (n=82) of the patients turned out to have benign lesions while 34% (n=43) had malignant breast lesions. All the sonographic BI-RADS descriptor variables demonstrated significant association with the histology results apart from vascularity. The predictive probability of malignancy was lowest (8.36 %) for lesions with parallel orientation and well circumscribed margins and highest (73.89%) for masses with non parallel and poorly circumscribed margins. Conclusion: There is a significant association between all the sonographic ACR BI-RADS lexicon descriptors and solid breast masses apart from one descriptor: vascularity. Lesions with both non parallel orientation and non circumscribed margins have the highest predictive probability for malignancy.
