Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a phenomenon that has received considerable attention not only from academicians & from researchers but also from corporate sector since it has multidimensional effects on their performance. It is imperative to note that companies may use CSR as a tool to manage many types of stakeholders, including stakeholders outside of the organization and outcomes that go beyond financial result. This notion will lead the companies towards new era mostly stated as sustainability, where companies act responsibly towards social, environmental and societal issues at large. The current study seeks to model and empirically test the relationship amongst determinants and outcomes (i.e. psychological and performance) of corporate social responsibility, specifically this study probe into relationship between ethical leadership, corporate social responsibility, trust and performance variables (organizational citizenship behavior, task performance behavior & counterproductive work behavior). Furthermore, this study also examines the role of ethical climate between the relationships of ethical leadership and CSR (ethical climate acts as a moderator). The current study has used mix methods approach i.e. quantitative and qualitative research design. The population of the study is scheduled and listed commercial banks in Pakistan. The study has used both simple random probability sampling technique and purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using mix methods from the sampled individuals for quantitative analysis. 500 responses were received back from the employees of banks from major cities (i.e. Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar) however, only 420 were useable. Fifteen top executives were interviewed out of the thirty-five listed commercial banks for qualitative analysis in respect to sustainable development. Data was analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Furthermore, necessary tests were conducted using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Findings indicate that ethical leadership has positive impact on CSR and significantly contributes towards defining the underlying processes of CSR. Results confirmed that ethical climate acts as a moderator between the relationship of ethical leadership & CSR. The CSR activities are project based and identified through an internal mechanism sometimes based on need and philanthropic prospective. The integrated conceptual framework of the current study will be helpful in decision making as to determine the impact of CSR on performance variables. Similarly, the current study will help corporate sector in devising strategies and policies of sustainability for competitive advantages. The researcher contends that this is one of the few studies in Pakistani context to understand the underlying processes linking ethical leadership with CSR along with the performance outcomes and ethical climate as moderator. This will certainly provide a comprehensive overview of CSR and sustainability prospective in Pakistan.

مولاناحکیم زماں حسینی
افسوس ہے کہ ۲۳؍ دسمبر کو کلکتہ کے مشہور و باوقار عالم مولانا حکیم زماں حسینی وفات پاگئے۔ اناﷲ و اناالیہ راجعون۔
وہ علم و عمل میں پختگی و استقامت، زہد و اتقاء میانہ روی اور ذاتی وجاہت کی بناء پر کلکتہ کے علمی و دینی حلقوں میں بہت مقبول تھے، ان کا تعلق کلکتہ سے تھا مگر اپنی علمی و دینی وجاہت متوازن شخصیت، پاکیزہ سیرت، اصابتِ رائے اور معاملہ فہمی کی وجہ سے پورے ملک میں باوزن اور قابل اعتماد سمجھے جاتے تھے۔ ان کے دل میں قوم و ملت کا درد تھا، اس لیے مسلمانوں کی موجودہ تباہی اور زبوں حالی سے بہت بے چین رہتے تھے، کلکتہ کے علمی و تعلیمی اداروں کے علاوہ وہ ہندوستان کے بھی ممتاز دینی و تعلیمی اداروں اور قومی و ملی تنظیموں سے وابستہ تھے۔ دارالعلوم ندوۃالعلماء لکھنو اور دارالعلوم دیو بند جیسے عالمگیر شہرت کے حامل اداروں کے عرصے سے اہم رکن تھے اور ان کے جلسوں میں پابندی سے شریک ہوتے تھے۔ امارت شرعیہ بہار واڑیسہ اور آل انڈیا مسلم پرسنل لابورڈ کے بھی سرگرم ممبر تھے۔ دارالمصنفین سے مخلصانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے، ہم لوگوں میں سے کوئی اگر کلکتہ پہنچ جاتا تو بہت خوش ہوتے اور لطف و مدارات سے پیش آتے۔
مولانا سید حسین احمد مدنی ؒکے ارشد تلاندہ میں تھے، ان سے غیر معمولی عقیدت ہی کی بنا پر اپنے نام کے ساتھ حسینی لکھتے تھے، دینی علوم میں اچھی دستگاہ تھی، فن تفسیر سے زیادہ مناسبت تھی، مفسر قرآن کہلاتے تھے، قدرت نے حسن بیان اور تاثیر کی نعمت بخشی تھی، ان کے درس قرآن کی شہرت تھی، برسوں کولوٹولہ کی مسجد میں قرآن پاک کی تفسیر بیان کی، روزنامہ آزاد ہند کے ہفت وار ایڈیشن میں ان کی تفسیر برابر شایع ہوتی تھی۔ ان کو حکمت و...

سیرت رسول عربی ﷺ(از نور بخش توکلی)کے منہج و اسلوب کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

The topic of ‘Sacred role (Seerat)’ with the affinity of the Rasool (saw) having significance, status and vast acceptance is undoubtedly beyond expression. If we make analysis of a religious literature, we find most of its part consisting on such topics that are directly affiliated with the silent features of the personality of the Rasool (saw). In storehouse of knowledge and architecture of the world ‘Art of Sacred role’ has attained its prominent supremacy. The beginning of this art was based on the details of Ghazwat in Islam but with the passage of time, it was enlarged in such a way that a great piece of literary work on ‘Sacred role’ has been pin pointed in sub-continent. Many literate of persona put forth their pens on this topic out of whom Noor Bakhsh Tawakli is also the most famous name who wrote a with title of “Seerat Rasool-e-Arabi” on the personality of Rasool. The expression of the affection and following of the Rasool (saw) by Noor Bakhsh Tawakli is expressed by the leaves of this book. He is best known for his popular for this book which has its own status in this field. He wrote the book in the era during which the western civilization had strangled the youth of that time. Materialism was in its climax. A great piece of strife was being made to disintegrate the true bond of affection and following of the Rasool (saw) but the profundity of learning, recognition of knowledge, strict eye on the present condition of that time and the salient factors of love of the Rasool (saw) were quite dominant in this book. The leaves of which were enriched with the florescence of love and affection of Rasool(saw).  

Data Mining Driven Learning Apprentice System for Medical Billing Compliance

Due to the importance of Brevibacterium linens in the industrial production of enzymes, amino acids and vitamins, the vast majority of research carried out has focused on expression of extra cellular proteins and amino acid biosynthesis. Most research to date on B. linens has demonstrated that the physiological and metabolic activities of the bacterium are significantly strain dependent. The heterogeneity among different stains of B. linens has also been confirmed by studies of DNA-DNA homology and partial 16S rDNA sequence analysis. A large number of questions remain to be answered in many areas of the physiology, metabolism, genetics, and taxonomy of Brevibacterium linens DSM 20158. As far as we are aware, there has not yet been a report on the global analysis of cellular proteins associated with B. linens DSM 20158. It may be because of the unsequenced genome of this strain. However in the present study due to the establishment of the Brevibacterium linens BL2 shotgun genome sequence, we have focused on three aspects of this bacterium in order to understand the physiology and biochemistry of the organism as a whole (i) by optimizing production, purification and characterization of industrially important extra cellular enzymes such as alpha-amylase, protease, lipase and an important amino acid L-Lysine which this strain produces naturally, (ii) by isolation, purification and characterization of respiratory chain complexes (iii) by charting the cellular and extra cellular proteome analysis of Brevibacterium linens DSM 20158 which lacks a sequenced genome by mass spectrometry-driven sequence similarity searches. One factor optimization is time consuming, laborious and does not give information about interactions between various fermentation variables. Therefore, we used a statistical approach to optimize factors that influence the production of extra cellular enzymes and amino acids. We used solid state fermentation due to its preference over submerged fermentation. Various cultivation parameters were optimized using a statistical approach to improve the alpha amylase, protease, lipase and L-lysine yield by Brevibacterium linens DSM 20158. The Plackett-Burman design was used to screen the fermentation variables followed by the optimization of significant parameters by response surface CCD in each case. Using the optimal factors, alpha amylase and protease yield was found to be twofold higher than that obtained in the unoptimized reference medium whereas lipase and L-lysine production was also found to be improved by using statistical IAbstract approach. The closeness of optimized values to experimental values proved the validity of the statistical model. B.linens was found to have a branched electron transport chain (Respiratory chain), in which electrons can enter the respiratory chain either at NADH (complex I) or at complex II level. In the present study, we were able to isolate and purify the complex-II (succinate dehydrogenase), complex III (menaquinole cytochrome c reductase cytochrome c subunit, complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) and complex V (ATP synthase) of the plasma membrane of Brevibacterium linens strain DSM 20158. Oxidized, reduced and pyridine ferrohemochrome spectra of membrane-bound complex-II, III and IV of this bacterium showed the presence of cytochrome b, cytochrome c and cytochrome aa3 respectively which were further confirmed by the heme staining. The complex II isolated from Brevibacterium linens strain DSM 20158 seems to contain three subunits of 64.8-, 30- and 12- kDa. The enzymatic activity of succinate dehydrogenase showed that it is highly active in this microorganism. The complex III, also known as Menaquinol- cytochrome c reductase cytochrome c subunit, was identified with a single band of about 26 kDa. The complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase) was seen to be composed of two subunits at 62.8-, 32- kDa and was further confirmed by its enzymatic activity. The Complex V (F 1 F o -ATP synthase), essential for ATP generation by oxidative phosphorylation, is isolated, purified and appears to be biphasic in nature during its kinetic studies. Brevibacterium linens DSM 20158 is an industrially important actinobacterium, but the lack of a genome sequence limits the applicability of conventional protein identification methods to the proteome of this bacterium. Although a shotgun genome sequence for the BL2 strain of this microbe, it does not cover the entire scope of its proteome. This study has established the first comprehensive proteomic reference map of B. linens DSM 20158. The present study is carried out first by identification of proteins by homology database MASCOT followed by the advanced approach of de novo genome sequence assembly and MS BLAST to drive the expanding B. linens scope of proteomics. This study will help to enhance the usability of this strain of B. linens in different areas of research in future rather in food industries only.
