Pakistani society is patriarchal and most women in Pakistan experience various and multiple types of violence throughout their lives. Leaving an abusive relationship is a difficult decision for women and sometimes multiple attempts are made to leave the household. This study uses a qualitative approach and semi-structured interviews to study the experiences of 57 women who had returned to shelter homes in eight districts of the Punjab province, Pakistan after attempting re-integration into their communities. Focus group discussions (FGDs) with 34 service providers of shelter homes were conducted in five major districts of Punjab. The findings that emerged from the interviews and FGDs indicated that women faced abuse which was associated with individual, relationship and societal level factors. When women tried to re-integrate back into the communities they faced life threats, psychological abuse and legal consequences due to the stigma and honour issues associated with fleeing abuse to take refuge in shelter homes. The women in the study proposed various recommendations including the need for domestic violence legislation criminamlizing abuse. Recommendations of the study include developing campaigns to increase awareness of violence against women and women’s right as well as the need for education, skill training and income stability for women and counseling and follow up services at shelter homes for women shelter users.

ہم جب نماز اد کرنے کے لیے کھڑے ہوتے ہیں۔ فرض ادا کرنے ہوں ، وترادا کرنے ہوں ،نفل ادا کرنے ہوں ، واجب کی ادائیگی ہورہی ہے یا سنن ادا کرنے کی غرض سے حالت قیام میں سجدہ کی جگہ پر نظر جما کرمحوعبادت ہوں۔ ہر حال میں اور ہر رکعت میں باہوش وحوا س اہد ناالصراط المستقیم کی تکرار کرتے ہیں ، اس کے معنی یہ ہیں کہ ’’ اے اللہ ہمیں سیدھے رستے کی طرف ہدایت فرما‘‘ پابند صوم وصلوۃ شخص دن میں اڑتالیس مرتبہ بہ صدائے عجز و نیاز بلند کرتا ہے، اللہ تعالیٰ کے سامنے دعا کرتا ہے، ہر کلمہ گو شخص خواہ رنگ میں ،نسل میں ، نسب میں، حسب میں اختلاف ہی کیوں نہ رکھتا ہو طلب راہ راست میں برابر ہوتا ہے۔
اسلام دین فطرت ہے۔ یہ اپنے ماننے والے کے لیے ہر میدان میں ترقی وعروج کے دروازے وا کر دیتا ہے۔ اس کی تعلیمات پرعمل پیرا شخص صحت مند معاشرے کے ماتھے کا جھومر ہوتا ہے، ایساکبھی نہیں ہوتا کہ اللہ تعالیٰ سے دست سوال دراز کرنے والا شخص دراز قامت ہو ، کثیر الوجود ہو، کثیر العیال ہو، انعام و کرام سے نواز دیا جائے اور کوتاہ قد،نحیف، او ر قلیل العیال شخص بارگاہ ایزدی میں دست بدعا ہو اور وہ نامراد واپس لوٹ آئے۔ اللہ تعالیٰ کی رحمت ،نعمت اور انعام و کرام کے دروازے ہر ایک کے لئے ہیں۔
لیکن حصول رحمت ایزدی کے لیے سلیقہ مند ہونا انتہائی ناگزیر ہے اور سلیقہ بجز حُبِّ مصطفیٰ صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم نہیں آ سکتا۔ کیونکہ اطاعت ِمصطفیٰ صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم ہی اطاعتِ الٰہی ہے’’ جس نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی اطاعت کی اس نے اللہ تعالیٰ کی اطاعت کی‘‘ مناصب ِجلیلہ پر...

A Comparison of Bahaullah’s Religious Unity With Akbar’s Eclectic Din-E-Elāhi

Mirza Husayn Ali Nuri (1817-1892) was one of the early followers of the Bab, and later took the title of Bahaullah’s mission was about to bring unity of all the mankind. He invited the world’s religion followers to peaceful coexistence with amity and harmony. He claimed that he was unique, in giving the idea of ‘ Most Great Peace’ through ‘Religious unity’ and a ‘Global civilization’ as a chosen ‘Manifestation of God’. He claimed to be a messenger from God referring to the fulfillment of the eschatological expectations of Islam, Christianity, and other major religions. He wrote many religious works, most notably the Kitab i Aqdas, the Kitab i Iqan and Hidden Words. In the History of Sub-continent, Great Mughal emperor Jallal ud Din Mohammad Akbar (1542-1605) is also known for the great task of ‘Religious unity’. Disillusioned with orthodox Islam and perhaps hoping to bring about religious unity within his empire, Akbar promulgated Din i Ilahi, a syncretic creed derived from Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity. Majority of muslims condemned him to deform the real shape of true Islam. Akbar was deeply interested in religious and philosophical matters. In 1575, he built a hall called the Ibadat Khana ("House of Worship") at Fatehpur Sikri, to which he invited theologians, mystics and selected courtiers renowned for their intellectual achievements and discussed matters of spirituality with them. The policy of sulh-e-kul, which formed the essence of D┘n-e-Elāhi, was adopted by Akbar not merely for religious purposes, but as a part of general imperial administrative policy. With the passage of time D┘n-e-Elāhi lost its attraction and became a dead religion. It is interesting to make a comparison between the two.

Theoretical Analysis of Dynamic Behaviors in Liquid Chromatography

Theoretical Analysis of Dynamic Behaviors in Liquid Chromatography The chromatographic techniques are used on laboratory and industrial scales for the sepa- ration of substances that under the traditional processes, such as distillation or extraction, are neither technically nor economically feasible. It is an important separation technique in the petrochemical industry and becomes more and more exploited in fine chemical, phar- maceutical and biotechnical industries. For instance, this attractive technology is used to separate chiral molecules, enzymes, sugar and to purify proteins or to produce insulin. This thesis project is concerned with the analytical and numerical solutions of three stan- dard liquid chromatographic models namely, the equilibrium dispersive model (EDM), the lumped kinetic model (LKM) and the general rate model (GRM). Each model consid- ers different levels of complexities to describe the process. These models are systems of convection-diffusion partial differential equations with dominating convective terms and coupled through differential or algebraic equations. The Laplace transformation is applied to derive the analytical solutions of the EDM and LKM considering the special case of single-component linear adsorption isotherm, contin- uous or finite width pulse injections, two different sets of boundary conditions and fully porous particles. For further analysis of the solute transport behavior, the analytical tem- poral moments are derived from the Laplace-transformed solutions and are compared with the numerical solutions of a semi-discrete high resolution finite volume scheme (HR-FVS). For nonlinear adsorption isotherms, numerical techniques are the only tools to provide solu- tions. However, the strong nonlinearities of realistic thermodynamic functions pose major difficulties for the numerical schemes. For that reason, computational efficiency and accu- racy of the numerical methods are highly important. The suggested HR-FVS is extended to approximate these nonlinear model equations. The numerical results of the suggested HR-FVS are compared with some other finite volume schemes available in the literature. Different case studies are considered covering a wide range of mass transfer kinetics. The results obtained verified the correctness of analytical results and accuracy of the suggested HR-FVS. An interesting aspect of this thesis project is the application of GRM to fixed-bed chro- matographic columns packed with core-shell or fully porous particles. Due to their proven performance and improved availability, core-shell particles are increasingly applied for chro- matographic separations. Such particles are useful for highly efficient and fast separation of complex samples with a reasonably low back pressure. Cored beads provide advantages over fully porous beads, such as reduced diffusional mass transfer resistances in particle macropores and separation times. The concept has improved column efficiency by shorten- ing the diffusion path that molecules have to travel and thus, has improved the diffusional mass transfer kinetics in particle macropores. Once again, both single-component linear and multi-component nonlinear GRM models are considered. The above mentioned ana- lytical and numerical solution techniques are applied to solve the model equations. The potential of the solutions is demonstrated by considering different case studies that quan- tify the effects of the relative core size, axial dispersion, film mass transfer resistance and intraparticle diffusion resistance in the porous layer on the elution curves.
