The human population of world is growing very rapidly and facing a crisis due to over population. In the study of demography, fertility is the most important and perhaps the most complicated aspect than any other aspect of the population. There is a paramount need for the study of components of population growth i.e. fertility, mortality and migration. There is a very sharp reduction in mortality rates and fairly slow declines in fertility rates in Pakistan. This situation presents an alarming vision of the future, because fertility affects the population in variety of ways. So it should be checked so that it would make the country prosperous. The present study “differential fertility with special reference to social stratification” was conducted in Southern Punjab. Three main districts of Southern Punjab Multan, Bahawalpur and Dera Ghazi Khan were selected for the study. Culturally the Southern Punjab is almost the same in nature, but there are too much socio-economic differences between these areas and among the people. Stratified method of sampling was used. The main objectives of the present study were to find out the various socio-economic factors that lead to higher fertility and determine the fertility differential among the various couples according to social stratification. The variation in fertility is caused by various factors such as, educational attainment, economic status, occupation, age, age at the time of marriage, marital period, employment status of woman, religious, race, family structure, health status, etc. These factors are related to each other one being influenced by the other. In the present study 600 respondents were interviewed, the interview schedule technique of data collection was used. The analysis of data was made by using statistical package of social science. Six hypotheses were formulated and five of them were proved and only one hypothesis was disproved.

نشور ؔواحدی

نشورؔ واحدی
ہندوستان میں فراق گورکھپوری کا ماتم ابھی ختم نہیں ہوا تھا کہ نشور واحدی بھی داغِ مفارقت دے گئے، ان کا کلام ان کی دلکش اور مترنم آواز میں اعظم گڑھ کے مشاعروں اور دارالمصنفین کی نجی مجلسوں میں ان سے برابر سننے میں آیا، متین، سنجیدہ اور پرانی تہذیب کے حامل تھے، بلیاوطن تھا، مگر زندگی حلیم کالج کانپور میں ایک استاد کی حیثیت سے گذاری، شروع میں تعلیم دائرہ رفیع الزمان الہ آباد کے بزرگ شاہ شفاء اﷲ سے پائی جن سے فلسفۂ اسلام، فلسفۂ خودی اور مولانا روم کے افکار کے بہت سے رموز و نکات کو اچھی طرح سمجھا ان کا خوش گوار اثر ان کی شاعری پر بھی پڑا، ان کے کلام کے کئی مجموعے آتش ونم، شورنشور، صہبائے ہند اور فروغ جام کے نام سے شائع ہوئے، اصغر، حسرت، فانی، جگر اور فراق گورکھپوری کی صف کے بعد جو شعراء کھڑے نظر آئے، ان میں نشور واحدی اپنے شاعرانہ کمال کی گل پیرہنی، مشاگلی اور شیریں بیانی، پھر فکر و فن کے رنگ و آہنگ کی جلوہ گری میں کسی سے کم نہیں نظر آئے، بلکہ بعض حیثیتوں سے اپنے معاصروں میں قدآور دکھائی دیئے۔
۱۹۴۰؁ء میں جناب شاہ معین الدین احمد ندوی (سابق ناظم دارالمصنفین) نے ان کے مجموعۂ کلام ’’صبہائے ہند‘‘ کے شروع میں ایک مختصر تبصرہ میں لکھا تھا کہ ان کی شاعری میں تغزل کی رنگینیاں بھی ہیں، قوم و وطن کے لئے پیامِ زندگی بھی، مذہب و ملت کا درس بھی، الفاظ کی سلاست بھی، بیان کی لطافت بھی، معتدل شوخی بھی، اور جوش و سرمستی کے نمونے بھی ہیں، اپنی ان شاعرانہ خوبیوں کو انھوں نے آخر وقت تک قائم رکھا، نثر میں ان کی ایک کتاب اسلام میں فلسفۂ خودی پر بھی ہے، دعا ہے کہ ان کا اسلامی جذبہ بارگاہ...

غربت کے خاتمے میں قرض حسنہ کا کردار

Poverty is a global issue, particularly, related to the developing countries. The whole world is taking measures to eradicate it. People have different types of talent to earn money. Some are skilled, some have good entrepreneurship ideas and some others are good at manual work. We find that a great number of such skilled people are suffering from lack of resources in Pakistan and therefore not properly able to exert their skills to their utmost. Pakistan, being a developing country, is suffering from the issue of poverty. Many efforts were made for the alleviation of poverty during various regimes. Pakistan People’s Party introduced the Benazir Income Support Program. The same program has been maintained by the present Muslim League (Nawaz) government, due to its so-called utility. However, the fact is that its utility is not promising, as the meager amount given to the needy ones consumes in the daily expenditures and produces no lasting good. Contrary to this thesis of alms-giving, an anti-thesis is provided by the tradition of the Holy Prophet, Muhammad (S. A. W), which emphasizes the provision of interest-free loan. The loan without interest, can enable a person to run his or her business, according to his or her capacity and the person can become independent. The present paper explores the prospects that how interest-free loan is more effective in removing poverty than alms-giving on a regular basis by the government.

Cultivar Resistance and Chemical Control of Tomato Fruitworm, Heliothis Hb. Armigera on Tomato Lycopersicon Esculentum Mill.

During present investigation experiments were conducted on the pest phenology on tomato crop for three years (1989-91), at Pes t Peshawar. Institute, Tarnab, Research Agricultural pehnological studies comprised egg, larval population dynamics, spatial distribution analysis and development of larval time sequential sampling plan. On population dynamics, the regression equation for egg and/or larval population development showed feeble negative p values during 1989 and 1991, and positive p values All equations showed poor correlation during the year 1990. coefficient. The sequent ional sampling programme data showed two distinct population configurations i.e. outbreak and endemic. The differences in growth rates between types were small at first. , A total of ca . 6 samples reached to its peak and then declined. (each week) would be adequate to detect type of configuration in any one year. Spatial pattern of H. armigera Hb . egg distribution during the study revealed that index of dispersion (I.D.) values were more than 1 in 1990 and 1991. However, in 1989 the l.D. values oscillated around 1. Moreover, most of the green''s index (G.I.) values were positive which confirm the negative binomial The I.D. values of the distribution of Hÿ_ armigera Hb. eggs. spatial pattern of H. armigera Hb. larval distribution were mostly higher than 1. Therefore, larval distribution also fits negative binomial distribution. The results of discriminating doses of potassium fertilizer on egg and larval population, and the fruit infestation showed that there was no significant effect of fertilizer on the uptake of tomato plants, on egg and larval population, and on the infestation of tomato. To compare relative efficacy of nine insecticides, one application was done during the year (1989), and three during each remaining two years of study i.e. 1990 and 1991. All the insecticides were found successful in keeping the larval population below outbreak configuration level upto 15 days after spray. ( viii ) S ! Consolidation of study data over a period of three years revealed that Thiodon was statistically the most effective wiLh 77.88 percent larval mortality, followed by Folidol M (75.96%), Sevin (69.32%), Thuricide (67.12%), Dimilin (66.38%), Edcidin (65.32%) and Atabron (59.85%). Permasect and Azodrin were significantly the mortality larval and 54.66% 58.55% with effective least level). The resulLs also respectively (cdii = 17.03 at 0.05 indicated a tendency in the reduction of effectiveness of Folidol M, Azodrin, Dimilin and Thuricide over a period of three years which might probably be due to enhancement in the degree of tolerance developing in H. armiqera Hb . Cluster analysis on the interactions of eggs and larval per plant, percent fruit damage and yield in Kg per plant of 65 toniaLo cultivars gave five cluster groups. Frequency-wise cluster analysis showed two varieties in group A (3.08%), two in B (3.08%), one in C (1.53%), fifty nine in D (90.78%) and one in E (1.53%). In the regression analysis of correlation between characteristics of 65 varieties and H- armiqera Hb. infestation, step-wise model was fitted, the correlation between infestion gave negative dependence larval infestation (-0.3251) with poor correlation (-0.2558) . Similar coefficient results were obtained for correlation between yield and number of larvae per plant (b=0.4Q04, r=0 . 0893 ) The step-wise model correlation between larval chemical/physical population and parameters gave negative dependence on trichome length (-0.0100) and iron content (-15494E- 04) and positive dependence on zinc (0.0028) and vitamin C (0.0279). Cluster analysis on the interaction of larval duration, pupal duration, adult longevity, duration of life cycle, larval and pupal weight and survival to adult stage also gave five cluster groups . Frequency-wise cluster analysis showed two varieties in group A (3.08%), four in B (6.15%), fifty two in C (84.62%), three in D (4.62%) and one in E (1.53%). Tiny Tim being moderately resistant cultivar, was placed in group E. . The results indicated that integration of resistant cultivar, Tiny Tim and Bacillus thurinqiensis had maximum effect on larval mortality and minimum percent fruit infestation, it was followed by accession 87-11(1) also a resistant line, while the maximum infestation was recorded on the most susceptible cultivar, Big long. The host range and average number of larvae/plant of H. armiqera Hb were recorded on soybean (1.63), gram (4.80), tomato (0.31), tobacco (1.64), maize (0.81), sunflower (0.07), okra (0.67), potato (1.92) and burseem (0.90). Gram was observed to be the most favourable host plant of this pest
