This thesis examines civil-military relations in Pakistan and the role played by the judiciary whenever bitterness occurs in their relations. The study begins from 1977 when the state was placed under martial law despite constitutional safeguards against such moves. All arbitrary attacks on the elected government, either through a direct military takeover or through the president who was bestowed with sweeping powers under constitutional amendment of Zia era, have also proved fatal for judiciary despite the court’s willingness to support the takeover. The independence of judiciary was assaulted by employing different tactics such as by appointing likeminded judges, setting up of a separate hierarchy of courts and bringing amendments to the constitution for curtailing its jurisdiction. Both General Zia and General Musharraf asked the judges to take fresh vote of their offices under a special order and the refusal of which culminated into the latter’s forced retirement. The military would then put in place a coalition set up consisting of politicians, business elites and local bodies representatives … all willing to support the military junta. Reference may be made to the political set up based on a power sharing formula which General Ziaul Haq brought to the force in March 1985. The basis of this power sharing arrangement was the erstwhile Eighth Constitutional Amendment passed by a rubber stamp parliament in 1985. Through this amendment, the military had chalked out a parameter within which the civilian set up was to operate. The 8th Amendment had a devastating effect particularly its Article 58(2)(b). General Ziaul Haq’s removal of Muhammad Khan Junejo from office was under this Article. When the arbitrary action was challenged, the Supreme Court sided with the General even though the latter was in the next world at the time of Court judgement. Though the military rule ended in August 1988, it left behind a new pattern of civil-military relations under the 8th Constitutional Amendment, wherein Article 58(2)(b) served as a safety valve against direct military intervention. In the post Ziaul Haq era, the military opted to exercise an indirect influence on the fate of a setting elected government. The successive elected governments faced legitimacy crisis in 1990s and their attempt to assert authority would be foiled because of the agenda set - forth for them by the military in mid 1980s. There are instances to suggest that the military commanders and the President of Pakistan had acted in unanimity for dislodging three civilian governments one after another in 1990, 1993 and 1996. The arbitrary action of both Ghulam Ishaq Khan and Sardar Farooq Ahmad Khan Leghari as presidents, were not entirely free of military influence. To keep their hold over national politics, the military adopted a two-fold strategy i.e., get a political set-up dismantled through the exercise of power under 58(2)(b) by the president and, alternatively, to topple the government directly as was the case in October 1999. On each occasion of arbitrary action for a governmental change - either through a military takeover or the presidential power under the constitution, the judiciary was found willing to validate the action based on one or another doctrine.

مری نظر میں محبت وہ کامیاب نہیں

مری نظر میں محبت وہ کامیاب نہیں
اٹھایا جس نے کبھی ہجر کا عذاب نہیں

مری خطائوں کا رکھا تو ہے حساب اس نے
مری وفائوں کا رکھا مگر حساب نہیں

ہر ایک تیر نشانے پہ جا کے لگتا ہے
نگاہِ ناز کے تیروں کا تو جواب نہیں

وہ میرے پہلو میں آکر ہیں یوں دراز ہوئے
یقین ہی نہیں آتا یہ کوئی خوب نہیں

ہم ایسی بزم میں تائب جی کس لیے جائیں
جہاں شباب نہیں، شیشہ و کباب نہیں

Akuntansi Terintegrasi Islam : Alternatif Model Dalam Penyusunan Laporan Keuangan Islamic Integrated Accounting : Alternative Models in Preparing Financial Statements

Akuntansi merupakan suatu sistem informasi yang krusial dalam menggambarkan kinerja keuangan suatu entitas. Dalam konteks global yang semakin kompleks dan multikultural, terdapat kebutuhan untuk mengembangkan pendekatan akuntansi yang mencerminkan nilai-nilai dan prinsip-prinsip Islam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengusulkan alternatif model penyusunan laporan keuangan yang terintegrasi dengan prinsip-prinsip Islam sebagai respons terhadap kebutuhan akan transparansi, etika, dan keadilan dalam pelaporan keuangan.Dengan menggabungkan prinsip-prinsip akuntansi konvensional dengan nilai-nilai Islam, model ini menawarkan kerangka kerja yang holistik untuk menerapkan konsep akuntansi terintegrasi Islam. Model ini mendasarkan penyusunan laporan keuangan pada prinsip-prinsip syariah, termasuk larangan riba, gharar (ketidakpastian yang berlebihan), dan maysir (spekulasi). Selain itu, model ini menekankan pada tanggung jawab sosial dan lingkungan, serta aspek etis dalam pelaporan keuangan.Dalam konteks praktis, penelitian ini mengkaji penerapan model akuntansi terintegrasi Islam dalam berbagai jenis entitas, mulai dari perusahaan skala kecil hingga perusahaan skala besar. Implikasi dari penggunaan model ini terhadap transparansi, keadilan, dan keberlanjutan keuangan dianalisis melalui studi kasus dan perbandingan dengan pendekatan akuntansi konvensional.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model akuntansi terintegrasi Islam ini mampu memberikan pandangan yang lebih komprehensif dan berkelanjutan terhadap kinerja keuangan entitas, dengan mengakomodasi prinsip-prinsip syariah dan nilai-nilai etis. Implikasi dari penelitian ini akan memberikan kontribusi bagi pengembangan praktek akuntansi yang lebih inklusif, berkelanjutan, dan sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip agama Islam, sehingga memberikan pandangan yang lebih holistik terhadap aspek keuangan dan non-keuangan dalam penyusunan laporan keuangan.

Prevalence, Clinical Importance and Predictors of Potential Drug-Drug Interactions in Different Wards of Tertiary Care Hospital Setting

Multiple drug prescriptions are very common for the treatment of various ailments and such therapy may be the potential source of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). DDIs can result in alteration of therapeutic response or increase untoward effects of many drugs. In hospitalized patients, the issue of DDIs deserves more attention due to severity of diseases, comorbid conditions, chronic diseases, polypharmacy, complex therapeutic regimens, and frequent modification in therapy. To the best of our knowledge, no data are available regarding the prevalence and nature of potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) in hospital settings in Pakistan. Studies are needed to explore pDDIs in hospital settings in Pakistan. This will help physicians and clinical pharmacists to identify and manage pDDIs. The objectives of the present study were to identify prevalence, levels and predictors of pDDIs in pulmonology, psychiatry, cardiology, pediatrics and internal medicine wards of tertiary care hospital settings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan. This study involved evaluation of 2015 patients’ profiles from five different wards (at least 400 from each ward) of two major tertiary care hospitals of KPK, Pakistan (a) Ayub Teaching Hospital (b) Khyber Teaching Hospital. Micromedex Drug-Reax software (Thomson Reuters Healthcare Inc., Greenwood Village, Colorado, United States) was used to screen patients’ profiles for pDDIs. Logistic regression was applied to determine the odds ratio for specific risk factors of pDDIs such as patients’ age, number of prescribed medications, patients’ gender and duration of hospital stay. In pulmonology ward, 400 patients’ profiles were evaluated for pDDIs. Total 126 interacting drug-combinations were identified that encountered in 558 numbers of pDDIs. Overall, 45% patients were exposed to at least one pDDI regardless of type of severity, 24% to at least one major pDDIs and 36% patients to at least one moderate pDDIs. Among 558 pDDIs, most were of moderate (53.6%) or major severity (34%); good (74.2%) or fair (16.3%) type of scientific evidence; and delayed onset (70%). Thirteen interacting drug-pairs were considered potentially important interactions and included dexamethasone + rifampin (41 cases), isoniazid + rifampin (38), furosemide + captopril (38), rifampin + pyrazinamide (38), acetaminophen + isoniazid (20), spironolactone + captopril (18), digoxin + furosemide (16), potassium chloride + spironolactone (15), prednisolone + rifampin (15), furosemide + aspirin (13), potassium chloride + captopril (13), levofloxacin + prednisolone (12), and digoxin + spironolactone (10). There was significant association of the occurrence of pDDIs with patients’ age of 60 years or more (odds ratio (OR) = 3.85; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.17-6.83; p < 0.001), hospital stay of 7 days or longer (OR = 2.33; 95% CI = 1.23-4.43; p < 0.001), and 7 or more number of prescribed medications (OR = 27.63; 95% CI = 14.6-52.3; p < 0.001). Of 415 patients from psychiatry ward, 64.8% patients had at least one pDDI (overall prevalence), 27.2% patients at least one major pDDIs, and 58.5% patients at least one moderate pDDI. Total, 126 interacting drug-pairs were identified that presented in 825 numbers of pDDIs. Of 825 pDDIs, most were of moderate (75.6%) or major severity (20.8%); good (66.4%) or fair (29%) type of scientific evidence; and delayed onset (71%). Most frequent potentially important interactions included haloperidol + procyclidine (127 cases), haloperidol + olanzapine (49), haloperidol + promethazine (47), haloperidol + fluphenazine (41), diazepam + divalproex sodium (40), haloperidol + trihexyphenidyl (37), lorazepam + divalproex sodium (34), fluphenazine + procyclidine (33), olanzapine + divalproex sodium (32), promethazine + procyclidine (29), promethazine + trihexyphenidyl (25), trifluoperazine + procyclidine (17), haloperidol + chlorpromazine (14), alprazolam + fluoxetine (13), and divalproex sodium + risperidone (13). There was significant association of the occurrence of pDDIs with hospital stay of 7 days or longer (OR = 2.01; 95% CI = 1.23-3.28; p = 0.005), and 7 or more number of prescribed medications (OR = 3.33; 95% CI = 2.03-5.48; p < 0.001). In 400 patients’ profiles from cardiology ward, 100 interacting drug-combinations were identified that encountered in 1120 pDDIs. Overall, 77.5% patients were exposed to at least one pDDI of any severity, 36.75% to at least one major pDDI, and 69.75% to at least one moderate pDDI. Of 1120 identified-pDDIs, most were of moderate (56.3%) or major severity (25.4%); fair (45.3%) or good (42%) type of scientific evidence; and delayed onset (50.4%). Sixteen interacting drug-pairs, eight each of major and moderate severity, were considered potentially important interactions and included ramipril + aspirin (129 cases), nitroglycerin + aspirin (100), furosemide + aspirin (59), digoxin + furosemide (41), heparin + aspirin (39), digoxin + spironolactone (35), spironolactone + aspirin (34), warfarin + spironolactone (34), furosemide + ramipril (29), spironolactone + ramipril (23), lisinopril + aspirin (22), warfarin + aspirin (17), heparin + nitroglycerin (14), warfarin + amiodarone (14), digoxin + amiodarone (13), and clopidogrel + omeprazole (11). There was significant association of the occurrence of pDDIs with patients’ age of 65 years or more (OR = 2.32; 95% CI = 1.26-4.28; p = 0.007), male gender (OR = 1.94; 95% CI = 1.07-3.53; p = 0.03), hospital stay of 4 days or longer (OR = 3.51; 95% CI = 1.60-7.70; p = 0.002), and 7 or more number of prescribed medications (OR = 26.84; 95% CI = 11.11-64.83; p < 0.001). In pediatrics ward, pDDIs of any severity were identified in 25.8% patients, major pDDIs in 10.75% patients, and moderate pDDIs in 15.25% patients. Total 86 interacting drug- combinations were recorded that presented in 260 pDDIs, of which, most were of moderate severity (41.5%); good (76.9%) or fair (16.5%) type of scientific evidence; and delayed onset (46.5%). Eleven interacting drug-pairs (4 major and 7 moderate) were considered potentially important interactions and included rifampin + pyrazinamide (14 cases), phenobarbital + diazepam (14), dexamethasone + rifampin (8), amikacin + furosemide (7), furosemide + captopril (7), dexamethasone + phenobarbital (6), phenobarbital + divalproex sodium (6), isoniazid + rifampin (5) amikacin + ibuprofen (5), digoxin + furosemide (4), and acetaminophen + phenytoin sodium (4). There was significant association of the occurrence of pDDIs with 5 or more number of prescribed medications (OR = 6.82; 95% CI = 4.0-11.59; p < 0.001). In internal medicine wards, 188 interacting drug-combinations were identified that contributed to 675 pDDIs. Of 400 patients, 52.8% patients were presented with at least one pDDI (overall prevalence), 21.25% with at least one major pDDI, and 44.25% with at least one moderate pDDI. Among 675 pDDIs, most were of moderate (63.6%) or major severity (23%); good (61.2%) or fair (25.5%) type of scientific evidence; and delayed onset (50.2%). Twenty interacting drug-pairs (9 major and 11 moderate) were considered potentially clinically important interactions and included furosemide + aspirin (38 cases), rifampin + pyrazinamide (37), isoniazid + rifampin (35), furosemide + ramipril (21), acetaminophen + isoniazid (20), furosemide + captopril (17), furosemide + lisinopril (16), insulin + aspirin (15), dexamethasone + rifampin (15), captopril + aspirin (14), aspirin + ramipril (14), nitroglycerin + aspirin (14), lisinopril + aspirin (14), heparin + aspirin (10), warfarin + aspirin (5), and spironolactone + ramipril (5). There was significant association of the occurrence of pDDIs with patients’ age of 60 years or more (OR = 2.06; 95% CI = 1.27-3.33; p = 0.003), hospital stay of 6 days or longer (OR = 2.58; 95% CI = 1.50-4.45; p = 0.001), and 7 or more number of prescribed medications (OR = 5.88; 95% CI = 3.62-9.55; p < 0.001). In conclusion, the present study has recorded a high prevalence of pDDIs in pulmonology, psychiatry, cardiology and internal medicine wards. Most of the interactions were of moderate severity, however, major pDDIs were also recorded in considerable number. Patients with old age, longer hospital stay and increased number of prescribed drugs were more exposed to pDDIs. Close monitoring of patients is recommended to manage and prevent negative clinical outcomes of these interactions." xml:lang="en_US
