The international remittance is one of the important sources of foreign exchange earnings in the country. Recently, Pakistan received over $4 billion as foreign remittances in 2006. The flows of funds through foreign remittances served as a cushion for balance of payment and foreign reserves. The economic determinants of international workers’ remittances and migration in Pakistan were investigated in this research study. The time series data were used to identify the economic determinants of the international remittances and migration in Pakistan for the year of 1973 through 2005. The stationary properties of each time series were investigated and found integrated of order one. The variables of remittances and migration models were established as co-integrated. The real remittances in Pakistan were found positively related with real GDP, real Growth rate and unemployment rate and were negatively related with real wage rate, literacy rate and spread rate of banks in Pakistan. The migration from Pakistan was found positively related with real remittances, inflation and unemployment rate and was negatively related with real wage rate in the country. Based on research results, it seems imperative to introduce financial innovations and create friendly environment for migrant workers to invest in the country. The widening gap of saving-investment can also be bridged through providing incentives on the bank rate and saving schemes.

المبحث الثالث: فلسفة الحیاۃ

قصیدۃ (أغنية للحیاة) ([1]) لنازک الملائکۃ

سألوا في غدٍ([2]) عن ھوانا([3])

ونحنُ ترابٌ مع الذکريات

وراحَ یُجیبُھم العابرون([4])

بأنّا مررنا بھذي الحیاۃ([5])

وذقنا الھوی والمُنی والعذاب

ثمّ عدنا رُفات([6]) کأسلافنا([7])

علی أثرینا([8]) الریاحُ وعفّت([9])

وعدنا([10]) ضباباً([11]) تلاشی([12]) ومات

وقال لھم قائلٌ: إنّنا

شربنا الأسی([13]) في ثنایا([14]) الکؤوس

وإنّ ا بتساماتنا کنّ لوناً

یغلّف([15]) شیئا طوتہ([16]) النفوس

وإنّا دفعنا أنا شیدنا

وأحلامنا للرّجاء العبوس([17])

وکنّا کمن قبلنا غرباءَ([18])

علی الأرض ثم طوتَنا الرّموس([19])

فمن سوف یخبرھم أنّنا

شربنا العذوبۃ حتی سکرِنا([20])

وأنّا ملکنا([21]) ضیاء([22]) النجوم

ودجلۃ([23]) والفجرَ فیما ملَکنا

وکانت لنا من خدودِ النسیم([24])

اقتصادی بحران اور ہنگامی صورتحال پر قابو پانے کیلئے سیدنا عمر کے اقدامات کا تحقیقی جائزہ

Hazrat Abdul Rehman (may Allah be pleased with him) belonged to Arab tribe of Quraish and was a close relative of Mohammad (peace be upon him). At the time of conquest of Makkah He (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the circle of Islam. He (may Allah be pleased with him) is counted among the companions of Muhammad (may Allah be pleased with him) who came to sub-continent specially Balochistan in order to preach for Islam and Jihad during the Khilafat of orthodox caliphs. He (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Balochistan twice for Jihad and conquests first during the Khilafat of Hazrat Usman (may Allah be pleased with him) and second time in the early era of Hazrat Muawia (may Allah be pleased with him). He (may Allah be pleased with him) played a vital role in the wars of Balochistan. He (may Allah be pleased with him) established Zehri his abode and capital after conquering Kalat, Khuazdar (Sajistan), Kachi, Gandhava, and Chaghi, and from here he expanded the series of his conquests till Kabul and Qandar. Besides this, he included many areas of sub-continent in the Islamic empire of conquered areas. His (may Allah be pleased with him) life is consists of great chapters of sincerity in deeds. Wisdom and valor, determination fearlessness, strife, hospitality, simplicity and patience. He (may Allah be pleased with him) is counted among the great generals of Islam had the honour to have carried the message of Holy faith in every corner of Balochistan in tough and unfavorable conditions and planted the flag of Islam in Balochistan forever.  

Expression Profiling of Cotton Fiber Genes and Evaluation of Some Regulatory Sequences for Gene Expression in Dicots

Cotton fiber is the most important raw material used in textile industry throughout the world. Due to demand of good quality fiber for manufacture of fabrics, there is need to develop cotton varieties with improved fiber characteristics. Through conventional breeding, a number of cotton varieties have been developed. However, this technique has disadvantage of narrow germplasm and requirement of longer time period for selection of best lines. Using genetic engineering techniques, fiber genes may be directly introduced in cotton which may express under the control of certain promoters. Through gene expression profiles, tissue and developmental stage specific expression level of genes can be determined. Gene those have been expressed specifically in fibers or other tissues may be transformed to alter various characters. Upstream regulatory regions of theses gene may also be evaluated as promoter. Fully characterized promoters can be used as component of expression cassette for crop improvement through molecular breeding. Cotton fibers are unicellular seed trichomes and the largest known plant cells. Fiber development in cotton is a complex process involving a large number of genes expressed during each fiber development stage. The objective of the study was to determine expression level of fiber related genes in cotton. The expression level of eight fiber related genes (EXPANSIN, tubulins, LTP1, LTP3, LTP7, E6, SPS, and susy) was determined in cotton tissues using reverse transcriptase real time PCR. Three cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) lines of varying fiber length were used to study the effect of genotypes on gene expression. The results revealed that transcription level of most of genes elevated from 5 to 20 DPA fibers. All genes showed similar expression pattern in all three genotypes. However, EXPANSIN was found to be highly expressed in long fiber variety during rapid elongation period than in medium and short fiber length. Sucrose synthase showed high expression in 15-20 DPA fibers and roots. Expression data may help also to explore the role of particular gene in fiber development. On the basis of expression profiles, two genes (SPS and LTP7) were selected. Upstream sequences of both genes were retrieved through high through put genomic sequences (HTGS) and analyzed using bioinformatics tool. About 2 kb region upstream of SPS and 1.8 kb upstream of LTP7 gene were selected for promoter isolation. Patent BLAST results of SPS and LTP7 promoter sequences confirmed that both were novel regulatory regions. Analysis of both promoter sequences using plantCARE revealed basal promoter elements including TATA box and CAAT box. There were various light regulated motifs, MYB binding sites and stress related motifs. Various motifs related to transcription activation and tissue specific expression were also identified in both promoters. Analysis of promoter sequences using plantPAN identified binding sites for transcription factors including MYBS, ERELEE4, GAREAT, ABRELATERD1 and WBOXNTERF3. Both SPS and LTP7 promoters along with their deletion fragments were isolated from genomic DNA of cotton leaves. A 1.5 kb deletion fragment for SPS promoter was cloned in expression vector. Two 5′ deletion fragments for LTP7 promoter (1 kb and 1.5 kb) were also cloned. Transient GUS expression assay revealed that full length SPS and LTP7 promoters were active in fiber tissues. Deletion derivatives (1.5 kb) of both promoters showed relatively weak GUS expression in fiber tissues. However, 1 kb LTP7 promoter was highly active in fiber tissues. No GUS expression was detected in root, shoot and leaf tissues. Agrobacterium mediated transformation in tobacco revealed that SPS promoter exhibited GUS stain in tobacco leaves in the form of patches while its 1.5 kb deletion fragment showed much low expression. Full length LTP7 promoter along with 1 kb LTP7 showed high vascular tissues specific expression in tobacco leaves. The novel promoters may be used to derive fiber specific expression in cotton and vascular tissues specific expression in heterologous system. The indigenous promoters can be used for specific expression of transgenes without IPR issues.
