Negative experiences are part of life and being the part of life, negative experiences, can have potential effects on individuals‘ cognitive abilities which may further affect their academics. To explore this issue, prime efforts in this research were made to determine the impact of university students‘ negative experiences on their academic achievement as well as on the development of cognitive distortions among them. Furthermore, role of cognitive distortions as mediator between negative experiences and academic achievement was to be calculated also. Study objectives were followed by developing Questionnaire of Negative Experiences, and Scale of Cognitive Distortions along with self-reported GPA (Grade Point Average). Validity and reliability of developed tools was established by means of expert judgment and statistical procedures consequently. Research tools were administered to university students of Pakistan. Total 2213 students of final year were selected from 7 universities through cluster sampling technique. To reach the conclusion, frequency, percentage, and mean score were calculated for descriptive analysis. Moreover, Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) was adopted to calculate mediating role of cognitive distortions between negative experiences and academic achievement. Results revealed that departmental and friends‘ problems caused decline in academic achievement of university students. In contrast, financial issues, emotional experiences, and family problems became triggers of academic performance. Upon facing a number of stressful events, several cognitive distortions (i.e. ―Emotional Reasoning‖, ―Dichotomous Thinking‖, ―Fortune Telling‖, ―Labeling‖, ―Discounting Positive‖, ―Mental Filtering‖, ―Self-Blaming‖, and ―Mind Reading‖) were developed among university students. ―Fortune Telling‖, ―Discounting Positive‖, and ―Self Blaming‖ were clear source of decline in academic achievement. Whereas students‘ GPA was seem to be increased due to ―Emotional Reasoning‖, All-or-Nothing, ―Labeling‖, Mental Filter, ―Maximization‖, and ―Mind Reading‖. Only five of the focused cognitive distortions were found to mediate the impact of negative experiences on academic achievement of university students: ―All-or-Nothing‖, ―Discounting Positive‖, ―Fortune Telling‖, ‗Mental Filter‘, and ―Self-Blame‖. Structure Equation Model regarding mediation role of cognitive distortions between negative experiences and academic achievement was finalized by determining model fit indices calculated in SPSS Amos. Developed model is a significant contribution to existing knowledge, which would hopefully serve as assisting theoretical background for educationists, psychologists, teachers and students. It can lead them to identify particular cognitive biases in order to suggest measures for eradication of negative effects from university students.

قاضی ظہور الحسن ناظم ؔسیوہاروی

قاضی ظہورالحسن ناظمؔ سیوہاروی
افسوس ہے گزشتہ مہینہ قاضی ظہور الحسن صاحب ناظمؔ سیو ہاری نے داعی اجل کولبیک کہا۔ مرحوم رشتہ میں راقم الحروف کے ماموں تھے۔بڑے ذہین، طباع،بذلہ سنج اورقادرالکلام شاعر تھے۔فن پربڑاعبور تھا۔تاریخ گوئی میں توشاید ہی اُن کاکوئی جواب ہو۔اس خاص کمال کی وجہ سے نظام حیدرآباددکن کے دامنِ دولت سے وابستہ ہوگئے اورعرصہ تک وظیفہ پاتے رہے۔غالباً۱۹۲۸ء میں جب ’’نظام‘‘ گورنمنٹ انڈیا سے برارکا معاملہ طے کرنے دلّی آئے تھے تومرحوم نے اس تقریب سے ایک عجیب وغریب قصیدہ لکھا تھا جس میں ۱۹ اشعارتھے اور ہرشعر سے سات طرح دلّی آنے کی تاریخ نکلتی تھی۔پھر لطف یہ تھا کہ ہرشعر کے پہلے حرف کوملائیے تواُسی بحر اوراُسی ردیف وقافیہ کاایک شعرہوجاتا تھا اوراس سے بھی سات طرح تاریخ برآمد ہوتی تھی۔نظام نے اس پر خوش ہوکر ان کے منصب میں اضافہ کردیا اوراب وہ مستقلاً حیدرآباد میں رہنے لگے تھے۔ علاوہ بریں اُن کو تصنیف وتالیف کا بھی بڑا متنوع ذوق تھا۔ تاریخ،فقہ،ادب و تنقید، لسانیات، شعروشاعری ان میں سے ہرموضوع پرانھوں نے کتابیں لکھی ہیں۔آخر میں اردو کی انسائیکلو پیڈیا لکھنی شروع کی تھی جوناتمام رہ گئی۔اخلاقی اعتبار سے خوش مزاج اورخندہ روبزرگ تھے۔لطائف وظرائف سینکڑوں کی تعداد میں یاد تھے اور انھیں موقع و محل کے لحاظ سے مزے لے لے کرسناتے تھے۔نماز باجماعت پڑھتے تھے اورادووظائف کاشغل بھی رکھتے تھے۔بزرگان دیوبند کے صحبت یافتہ اوران کے نام کے عاشق تھے۔دنیوی معاملات میں بھی بڑی سوجھ بوجھ رکھتے تھے۔اللھم اغفرلہ وارحمہ۔

Legal Review of Different Forms of Plastic Surgery

The extract is that the plastic surgery is legitimate for medical treatment. Any kind of transformation in the creation of Allah is illegitimate. For women the removal of extra hair the usage of different kind of creams etc for fairness is legitimate. The transformation of inborn deficiency is legitimated. In case of deception and for the sake of Satan the illegitimate transformation in human body which is bestowed by ALLAH is considered as ingratitude and ungratefulness to ALLAH which is abominable and invalid.

Identification of Dwarf Mistletoe Resistant Genes in Ziarat Junipers Juniperus Excelsa M. Bieb

Ziarat juniper ( M. Bieb) is an evergreen and dominant species of Balochistan juniper forests. These forests are providing many benefits to regional ecosystems and surrounding populations. Unfortunately Ziarat juniper forest is in a degraded condition because of large number of biotic and abiotic factors including die back disease, dwarf mistletoe ( ) an obligate parasite with an endophytic ''root'' system. To protect these rapidly degrading Juniper forests the current project was aimed to identify dwarf resistant genes in Identification and characterization of differentially expressed genes in dwarf mistletoe infested and noninfested shoots were performed using Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH), Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics algorithms. In this dissertation a total of 1951 dwarf mistletoe resistant genes were identified with 1257 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from dwarf mistletoe infested and 694 DEGs from dwarf mistletoe non-infested shoots of Juniper tree. All the identified resistant genes were further functionally characterized by using Gene ontologies (GO). The identified resistant genes were observed to be involved in various significant functions related with stress, immune system, metabolism, transcription factor, signaling pathway and structural protein. All of these newly identified resistant genes were reported in for the first time as no functional genomics study is reported for this important plant. These results will be used to manipulate the Juniper trees with these resistant genes for higher expression to combat and defeat the disease.
