The study was aimed to apply eco-friendly antimicrobial finish on textiles. The eco-friendly antimicrobial finish was extracted from leaves of Azadirachata indica, Butea monosperma and Litchi chinensis plants and applied on 100% cotton, 100% polyester, 50/50 cotton/polyester and 100% silk. Before and after applying antimicrobial finish presence of microorganisms, FTIR, SEM, fabric properties and sustainability to washes were checked. The antimicrobial finish was applied by pad dry cure method and finish was fixed by using poly urethane binder. The presence of microorganisms was checked by ASTEM E2149 shake flask method before and after applying antimicrobial finish and after successive 25 washes. The results were analyzed through MANOVA and ANOVA. The fabric properties were checked by using AATCC and ISO standard test methods. The eco-friendly antimicrobial finish made 89% reduction in microbial growth. In case of aesthetic properties (smoothness, surface appearance) antimicrobial finish had positive effect on 100% cotton, 50/50 cotton/polyester and on 100% silk but had no effect on 100% polyester. In case of comfort related properties (Absorbency, Air Permeability) antimicrobial finish had positive effect on cotton, cotton/polyester and silk but had no effect on polyester fabric. In case of mechanical properties (Tensile strength, Tear strength) antimicrobial finish had positive on cotton, cotton/polyester and silk fabric while it had no effect on polyester fabric. The antimicrobial finish lasted up to 25 washes. The study suggested that antimicrobial fabric is suitable to provide protection cover for medical industry, paramedical staff, sports wears, home furnishing as well as common people.

پڑھائی

پڑھائی خوشی دینے ، گفتگو کے نکھار اور قابلیت کو بڑھانے کے لیے مفید ہے۔ خوشی کے لیے اہم یہ ہے کہ آپ اپنے معمولات کی اچھی منصوبہ بندی کریں ، پھر یہ چاہے آپ کے فرصت کے اوقات کار ہوں، تنہائی ہو ، گفتگو کے نکھار کے لیے اپنی قابلیت کا بہتر استعمال ہو، آپ کو اس سے خوشی میسر آئے گی۔ اس لیے تجربہ کار انسان ہی اس پر عمل کر سکتےہیں اور شاید وہ انفردی معاملات کے بارے میں صحیح رائے رکھتے ہیں۔ لیکن پڑھے لکھے لوگ ہی معاملات کے بارے میں بہتر نصیحت، منصوبہ بندی اور انتظام کرتے ہیں۔ پڑھائی میں بہت زیادہ وقت صرف کرنا کاہلی ہے اور اس کا گفتگو کی سخاوت کے لیے بہت زیادہ استعمال بناوٹ ہے۔ فیصلہ کرنے کے لیے اس کے قوانین پر انحصار کرنا ایک سکالر کا مذاق اڑانا ہے ۔ وہ اس سے باشعور ہوتے ہیں اور تجربے سے ان کے شعور میں شگفتگی آتی ہے۔ فطری قابلیتوں کو پروان چڑھانے کے لیے ضروری کے کہ پودے کی طرح انسان کی بھی کانٹ چھانٹ کی جائے، پڑھائی سے ۔ خود سے پڑھ لینا کافی نہیں، یہ مبہم انداز میں آپ کی رہنمائی کرے گا ماسوائے اس کے کہ وہ تجربہ سے مل کر مفیدثابت ہوتا ہے۔ چالاک لوگ پڑھائی سے نفرت کرتے ہیں، سادہ لوگ اس کی تعریف کرتے ہیں اور عقل مند آدمی اس کا استعمال کرتے ہیں، کیونکہ پڑھائی نہیں سکھاتی کہ اسے کیسے استعمال کرنا ہے۔ لیکن یہ جو عقل ہے، یہ کتابوں میں نہیں ، ان سے بالاتر ہے اور یہ صرف مشاہدہ سے حاصل کی جاسکتی ہے۔ کتابوں کو نقطہ چینی یا رد کرنے کے لیے ، اہمیت دینے یا یقین کرنے کے لیے، اپنی گفتگو یا تقریر کے لیے مواد حاصل کرنے کے لیے نہیں بلکہ سمجھ کے لیے...

Exploring the Metaphoric Notions of Educational Leadership in the Poetry of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai

This research seeks to examine the various metaphors used in the poetry of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai to signify notions of leadership. In this regard, this research has unpacked some meanings about the notions of leadership and has attempted to contribute to the current literature on Educational Leadership and Management. For this purpose, the has study adopted a qualitative research paradigm in order to explore the metaphors and the associated meanings through doing a textual analysis of the poetic texts by the Bhitai, followed by semi-structured interviews of the experts who have researched on the life and works of Bhitai. In this respect, four experts were identified (based on purposive sampling method). The analysis has focused on the interplay of the data related to the textually generated meanings and the scholastic comments. The overall interpretation of the poetry informs that the poetry of Bhitai has a great potential to describe the metaphors of leadership. The findings of the study illustrate key metaphors used to signify notions of leadership such as; leadership as a journey, a process of personal power, empowerment, inspiration and personal development. These metaphors convey Bhaitai's ideas about nature and qualities of leadership which in turn have the potential to influence current notions and practices of leadership in general as well as in education in particular. Some of the qualities that emerge from the metaphors convey meanings such as; concept of struggle, power of longing in achieving one's goals and importance of being reflexive. The whole research process informs about the power of metaphors to unpack the varied meanings of leadership.
