The Pakistani textile industry is contributing 8.5% to the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and generating nearly 40% of employment in Pakistan. The country is earning more than 50% of its export revenue from the textile industry, but the performance of the Pakistani textile industry in the international market is not impressive. The Pakistani textile industry has not experienced significant export growth since the last decade. Pakistani textile exports faced a decline of 3% in 2014, and exports further decreased to 8% in 2015 (WTO, 2016). Moreover, all commodities faced the worst decline in 2015-16, except ready-made garments (WTO, 2016). The Pakistani government had taken aggressive steps to improve the industry, but unfortunately got no fruitful results. Despite of having similar nature of strength and opportunities, firms experience different level of export performances. Some firms focus on their internal capabilities and resources to achieve high export performance while other emphasize on external opportunities. This research has made a comprehensive attempt to considered both internal and external determinants of export performance based on the Industrial Organisation view (I/O view) and the Resource-Based view (RBV). The I/O view explains the important determinants of export performance across industries and focuses on the characteristics of industry while RBV proposes that a firm should focus on its unique internal resources to achieve high export performance. Every firm has its own unique capabilities but unique capabilities of firm are useless until they earn high export performance. So, explore unique internal capabilities (RBV) of firm and keep modifying with the external environment (I/O View). The foundation for the export performance construct is found in the marketing literature. The critical literature on export performance marketing concept is reviewed through RBV and I/O View to provide the appropriate conceptual and theoretical basis for the study. The research use the survey method, field survey and online survey. Data were collected from the three countries including Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. Pakistan Bangladesh and India were considered because they are similar in different aspects. For example, they are categorised as developing countries, having the same weather conditions, sharing almost similar culture and importantly, having a textile industry that plays a significant role in their economies. Export performances of the three countries were compared across different internal and external determinants of export performance. A field survey was used to collect data from Pakistani textile firms and an online survey was used to collect data from Bangladeshi and Indian textile firms. The population frame for the field survey included all firms engaged in exports of textiles listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange of India and Dhaka Stock Exchange. Questionnaires were used to collect responses from the senior managers and heads of operations and chief executive officers of selected firms. Financial data of firms, export figures and data for other external factors like exchange rates, economic stability and cost to export were taken from the PSX, NSE, DSE, WTO, and World Bank‟s websites. A Linear Regression model was used for cross-sectional data, Panel Regression models were used for panel data and One-Way ANOVA was used to make comparisons of internal and external factors among the three countries, including Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. Moreover, an exploratory factor analysis of the baseline questionnaire responses was conducted. To address the first objective of the study, a Multiple Regression model was used to identify the key internal determinants of firms‟ export performance based on the RBV. The study showed that marketing capabilities, competitive advantage, ISO certification, research and development, manufacturing flexibility capabilities, relation with suppliers, quality control capabilities, IT resources and capabilities, perceived export motivation of the management and management‟s perceived export advantage have a significant positive effect on export performance of firms, while human resources capabilities, innovation capabilities and international experience of management have an insignificant effect on export performance. To address the second objective of the study, a pool regression model was used to identify the key external determinants of the industry‟s export performance based on the I/O view. Findings showed that currency exchange rates, cost to export, time to export, political stability of country, quality of infrastructure in country, freedom from corruption, business cost of terrorism and economic stability in a country significantly affect the export performance of the industry, while taxes on doing business have an insignificant effect on export performance. To address the third objective of the study, a Multiple Regression model was used to identify the key external determinants of firms‟ export performance based on the I/O view. The study showed that all the external determinants of firms‟ export performance, including management‟s perceived export barriers, perceived government support given to industry, management‟s perceived export risk and perceived uncertainty of competitive environment, have a significant effect on export performance of firms. To address the fourth objective of the study, a One-Way ANOVA model was used to compare the internal determinants of export performance based on the RBV among the textile firms of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The results showed that the marketing capabilities, human resources capabilities, research and development, innovation capabilities, international experience of management competitive advantage, ISO certification, manufacturing flexibility capabilities, relation with suppliers, IT resources and capabilities, perceived export motivation of the management and management‟s perceived export advantage are significantly different among Bangladeshi, Indian and Pakistani textile firms, while only quality control capabilities are significantly similar among the three countries. To address the fifth objective of the study, the SUEST test was used to identify the difference in export performance of Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi firms due to differences in the level of firms‟ internal capabilities. The results showed that higher level of marketing capabilities, R&D capabilities, competitive advantage, ISO certification, relation with suppliers, IT resources and capabilities, perceived export motivation of the management and management‟s perceived export advantage leads to the high export performance of the firms, while higher level of HR capabilities, innovation capabilities and international experience of management do not lead to high export performance. To address the sixth objective of the study, a One-Way ANOVA model was used to compare the external determinants of export performance based on the I/O view among the textile industry (and firms) of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The results show that the currency exchange rates, cost to export, time to export, political stability of country, quality of infrastructure in country, freedom from corruption, business cost of terrorism, economic stability in country, taxes on doing business, management‟s perceived export barriers, perceived government support given to industry, management‟s perceived export risk and perceived uncertainty of competitive environment are significantly different among the Bangladeshi, Indian and Pakistani textile industry. To address the seventh objective of the study, the SUEST test was used to identify the difference in export performance of Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi firms due to difference in the level of external determinants of export performance. The results show that higher level of time to export, management‟s perceived export barriers, perceived uncertainty of competitive environment, taxes on doing business and business cost of terrorism lead to low export performance, while higher level of currency exchange rates, political stability of country, quality of infrastructure in country, freedom from corruption, economic stability in country, perceived government support given to industry lead to high export performance. Further, higher level of cost to export and management‟s perceived export risk do not lead to low export performance. This research provides value for government and policy makers. Public policy makers view exporting as a means to accumulate foreign exchange reserves, increase employment, enhance societal prosperity and improve national performance. The study provides practical suggestions to business managers and practitioners of textile firms. It also contributes to the ongoing academic debate and research on the topical concept of export performance and export-led growth. This study contributes to development of a holistic model approach to identify the factors that have impact on export performance. This study is among few attempts to propose a novel model based on both the RBV and the I/O view and to propose a holistic model approach to identify key determinants in the textile industry. In the previous literature, both RBV and I/O were considered as opposing views but this research has provided a new theoretical aspect by combining both in a single model. This research is among few works which compared the determinants of export performance among textile industries of different countries. Also, an effort was made to compare the RBV and the I/O view in the context of the textile industry." xml:lang="en_US

مولانا سید ریاست علی ندوی

آہ! مولانا سید ریاست علی ندوی
گزشتہ مہینہ پٹنہ کے اخبار صدائے عام میں دارالمصنفین کے ایک پرانے لائق خدمت گزار مولانا سید ریاست علی ندوی کی وفات کی خبر بڑے دکھ، اور درد کے ساتھ پڑھی، اسی وقت ان کی اہلیہ کے نام ایک تعزیتی تار بھیجا، پھر ان کے صاحبزادے سید ارشد علی کا یہ خط موصول ہوا:
آبگیلہ، ڈاکخانہ بنیادگنج، گیا۔
۱۹، دسمبر ۱۹۷۶؁ء
محترم چچا جان! السلام علیکم
بہت ہی افسوس کے ساتھ لکھنا پڑرہا ہے کہ والد محترم جناب مولانا سید ریاست علی ندوی صاحب ۱۴؍ نومبر ۱۹۷۶؁ء کو بروز اتوار بوقت سوانو بجے دن رحلت فرماگئے، موت حرکت قلب بند ہوجانے کی وجہ سے ہوئی، پہلا دورہ ۱۳؍ نومبر کو ۹ بجے دن کو ہوا، شہر کے مشہور ڈاکٹروں نے دیکھا، طبیعت سنبھل گئی، ہم لوگ کافی پر امید ہوگئے، احتیاط کی خاطر گیارہ بجے رات کو مقامی اسپتال میں داخل کردیا گیا، کبھی کبھی طبیعت کچھ بگڑ جاتی تھی، لیکن برابر ہوش میں رہے، اپنی وفات سے ایک منٹ پہلے ہنستے بولتے رہے، ہم لوگوں کے گمان میں بھی نہ تھا کہ وہ ہم لوگوں کو اس قدر جلد داغ مفارقت دے جائیں گے۔
ان کو اپنی غیر مطبوعہ کتابوں کی کافی فکر تھی، وہ اعظم گڑھ جانے کا ارادہ بار بار کرتے رہے، وہ دسمبر میں اعظم گڑھ ضرور پہنچتے، وہ اپنی چند کتابیں دارالمصنفین کو دینا چاہتے تھے۔ یہ بات اطلاعاً لکھ رہا ہوں، امید کہ جناب عالی مع الخیر ہوں گے‘‘۔
اس خط کو پڑھ کر آبدیدہ ہوا اور چالیس سال پہلے کے دارالمصنفین کی صحبتیں یاد آگئیں، میں یہاں ۱۹۳۵؁ء میں آیا، یہ اس کی شہرت کے شباب کا زمانہ تھا، اس وقت اس علمی کارواں کے سالار اور حدی خواں استاذی المحترم حضرت مولانا سید سلمان ندویؒ تھے، جن کے علم کا اعتراف علامہ اقبالؒ...

تشکیل معاشرہ میں تصوف کی بنیاد اخلاق حسنہ کا کردارایک تحقیقی مطالعہ

Almighty sent his chosen prophets to every Ummah to teach them the lesson of goodness and to avoid evil. The purposes of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) were reform processes: to teach and guide, and pushed the people to Almighty Allah. According to the narrative in Islamic law, everyone's either Muslim or non-Muslim, relative or/neighbor has determined the right to live things. And good conduct is that because Abdullah bin Mubarak said That is, "Meeting old habits, doing righteousness, and forbidding people to hurt you". If human behavior is good then its own life will also pass through fortune and joy, and it will also be the mercy and chain of things for others. Collective relations, interacting with the recipients, and the Family system, is proven to be a source of intelligence. The result of the happy moral is Reality and Heaven of Arman al-Rahman, and the fulfillment of the Prophecy is the wrath of Lord Koran and the Fire of Hell.  

Nanoformulation of Selected Medicinal Plants to Enhance Their Cardioprotective Potential

The present research work was designed to increase the bioavailability and cardioprotective potential of three important medicinal plants (Curcuma longa, Ginkgo biloba and Coriandrum sativum). This project was divided into different phases. In first phase of study, nanosuspensions of selected medicinal plants were prepared by choosing an appropriate stabilizer. Formulation conditions of nanosuspensions were optimized with response surface methodology. In second phase of study, optimized nanosuspensions of plants extract were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In third phase of study, in-vitro drug release and pharmacokinetics of coarse and optimized nanosuspensions of plants extract were evaluated. In fourth phase of study, comparative bioactivities (cardioprotective potential, thrombolytic, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities) of coarse and nanosuspensions of plants were determined. Results of stabilizer screening selected sodium lauryl sulphate (stabilizer) for the preparation of nanosuspensions of selected plants. Optimized nanosuspensions of C. longa, G. biloba and C. sativum were prepared with mean particle size of 85.41 nm, 139.5 nm and 72.08 nm respectively. AFM also confirmed that particle sizes of all optimized nanosuspensions were in nanosize-range. FTIR analysis showed interaction between C. longa and stabilizer and no-interaction between other studied plants and stabilizer. In-vitro drug release and pharmacokinetics study revealed greater dissolution and bioavailability of optimized nanosuspensions of plants in comparison to their coarse suspensions/extracts. Nanosuspensions of plants showed better cardioprotective potential with reduced dose as compared to their coarse suspensions. In preventive mode of treatment, four-fold greater doses of coarse suspension of C. longa, G. biloba and double dose of coarse suspension of C. sativum were required to normalize the salbutamol elevated levels of cardiac enzymes and lipids in comparison to their nanosuspensions. Antimicrobial, thrombolytic and antioxidant activities of plants were also enhanced in nanosuspension preparation. Moreover, optimized nanosuspensions were found fairly stable for a period of three months and cytotoxicity study revealed no harmful effects of formulated nanosuspensions.
