The primary objective of the study was to measure the association between developmental assets and youth development along with assessing the role of family, peer, neighborhood, community and schooling. Developmental assets signify personal, interpersonal and environmental strengths that enhance the health and educational outcomes of the youth. Similarly, youth development refers to the tendency of the young people to achieve higher in education and to actively participate in the community. Theoretical framework of the study is based on Ecological Model of Bronfenbrenner (1994) for understanding the role of family, peer, neighborhood, community and schooling in youth development. The researcher applied exploratory sequential design of mix method for the current study to explore the past familiarities and current trend of the youth development. In the first phase qualitative study was conducted with the aim to contextualize and explore the concepts of developmental assets and youth development in Pakistani context. Focus Group Discussions with the students, teachers and parents of students were conducted for the qualitative study. The qualitative findings of the study informed and established the development of the cross-sectional survey tool that was used on a large-scale population of the college students. In the second phase the quantitative study was conducted to see how the developmental assets are associated with youth development by using a cross sectional survey. The qualitative codes and themes were gathered from qualitative data and domain analysis technique was used for qualitative data analysis. The qualitative study concluded that both developmental assets and youth development has some cultural meanings. In the first instance the study found that role of siblings, positive health attributes and awareness about Information Communication Technologies are additional and substantive developmental assets in Pakistani society. Similarly, possession of leadership qualities and employability are important indicators of youth development in Pakistan. A cross sectional survey tool that was formed after the qualitative phase was used for the collection of quantitative data from college students. Ethical considerations were ensured before conducting the field work for the quantitative study. The objective of the quantitative phase was to see the relationship between developmental assets and youth development. The Quantitative data analysis was conducted by GGM model (Generalized Method of Moments). The quantitative study concluded that developmental assets are significantly associated with youth development. Overall, internal developmental assets are more valuable than the external developmental assets. The study concludes that the role of the schooling is at the highest level in defining the youth development. In addition to that the family, community and neighborhood also have substantive role to play in VI the development of the youth. Career selection, moral and financial help are found to be important aspects of family involvement and contribution towards youth development. The study argues that efforts can be made to promote healthy youth development by engaging them in community activities, healthy family relationship and supportive school environment.

اسلم عارف (۱۹۴۲ء۔پ) پسرور کے ایک گاؤں بن باجوہ میں پیدا ہوئے۔(۱۰۰۱) اپنے وقت کے نظم،غزل اور قطعات کے اچھے شاعر ہیں۔ ان کے قطعات میں جدت پائی جاتی ہے۔ چند قطعات ملاحظہ ہوں:

قبر کے پھول            

اے حسینہ سنوارلے گیسو

 

%اشک کب تک بہائے گی

 

3قبر کے پھول سوکھ جائیں گے

 

-زندگی لوٹ کر نہ آئے گی

آخری انسان                            

ایک مفلس بندۂ مزدور پر روئے گا کون

 

زندگی میں بھی اگرچہ بے سرو سامان تھا

 

مر کے لیکن رہ گیا اس طرح بے گورو کفن

 

جیسے اس دنیا کا بس یہ آخری انسان تھا

کُتبِ اُصول حدیث اکیسویں صدی میں ؛ایک تعارفی جائزہ An Introductory Review of the Books written on ‘Usūl e Ḥadīth in 2ist Century

Muslims are a unique nation in the world who have shown unparalleled activism in preserving their sayings and relics. Caution was in view from day one. The simple precautionary measures taken in the early days later took the form of theology. In the beginning, the principles and rules of this knowledge did not exist in a disciplined form, although the scholars of Muḥaddithin adhered to the basic principles of this knowledge from the very beginning. However, references to these principles were to be found in the books of the pious. In the 4th Hijri, the scholars of Muhaddithin compiled the previous scattered work on the art of the principle of Ḥadith. Now these comprehensive definitions and terms are before us in a systematic and disciplined form in the books of ‘Usūl e Ḥadīth. In this short essay, the definition and necessity and importance of Hadith and ‘Usūl e Ḥadīth have been highlighted and also an introductory review of books written on ‘Usūl e Ḥadīth th and their authors and authors has been presented. Which indicates this. How strict were the rules and regulations of the Muslim Ummah for examining the authenticity and text of the Holy Hadith and how did they separate the authentic, weak and subject matter of the hadiths and write their separate books? And how hard they have worked to promote art.

Molecular and Functional Characterization of Bioactive Peptides from the Venom of Bracon Hebetor Say. Hymenoptera: Braconidae

Venom is a key-factor in the regulation of host physiology by parasitic Hymenoptera and a potentially rich source of novel bioactive substances for biotechnological applications. The limited study of venom of ectoparasitic wasp Bracon hebetor (Say.) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) has not described the full complement and composition of these biomolecules or the biotechnological potential that they could represent. To provide a more complete insight, the transcripts expressed in the venom glands of the wasp B. hebetor were described using a high-throughput approach with Illumina technology. The transcriptome of the B. hebetor venom glands was analysed by high throughput sequencing using Illumina technology followed by de novo assemblies of the 18,143,814 sequence reads yielded 22,425 contigs of which 10,578 have significant BLASTx homologies in the available databases. The majority of sequence homology was with the ectoparasitoid, Diachasma alloeum, a wasp from the same taxonomic family. Homology was also observed with other wasps, bees, and ants. Gene ontology was used to group sequences by molecular functions in which catalytic activity with 42.2% was the most highly represented, cellular components comprised 33.8% of homologies and biological and metabolic processes represented 30% of the relationships. In this study, we highlight the most abundant sequences, and those that are likely to be functional components of the venom for parasitization. Specifically, we focused on genes encoding proteins that are reported in the literature to be involved in host developmental arrest, disrupting the host immune system, host paralysis, and transcripts that support these functions. The full length ORFs of Calreticulin, the Venom Acid Phosphatase Acph-1 like protein and Arginine Kinase proteins were isolated and their tissue specific expression was studied by RT-PCR. The data showed that these putative venom genes were not expressed in tissues other than venom glands and whole females. Cloning of these genes was also done successfully and Calreticulin was further processed for expression analysis. Functional analysis of the venom of the wasp was performed by artificial microinjections of both crude and treated venom (heat and proteinase) of the wasp containing 0.3 μl and 0.5 μl in non-parasitized and synchronized host insects. Last instars of the host greater wax moth Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) were selected for venom injection bioassays and mortality data of the host insects was recorded after 1, 12, and 24 hours of venom injections while host receiving saline injections were acted as control. Our findings demonstrate that maximum mortality of the host insects (98%) was obtained by microinjections containing volume (0.5 μl) of crude venom. On the other hand heat and proteinase treated venom did not show any significant mortality of the host insect. This is the first report of large-scale analysis of genes transcribed by the venomous gland of the wasp B. hebetor. In addition, results also demonstrate that de novo transcriptome assembly allows useful venom gene expression analysis in a species lacking a genome sequence database, which ultimately provides useful information for devising control tools for insect pests of Pyralidae and other applications.
