Wastewater from agrochemical industries is disposed off without any treatment into nearby water bodies; hence there is a dire need to improve remediation approaches for its removal from environment. It is hypothesized that bacterial strains present in wastewater, after acclimatization, could use Chlorpyrifos (CP) as a sole source of carbon and energy and convert it into less toxic substances, both in free as well as immobilized form. Current study aimed at isolation of bacterial consortium capable of efficient CP biodegradation in mineral salt media (MSM), simulated pesticide wastewater (SWW) and real industrial wastewater (WW) in free and immobilized form. In order to produce environmentally stable immobilization matrix for bacterial consortium, potential of calcium alginate matrix coupled with polysulfone was investigated. Biodegradation potential of bacterial consortium isolated from wastewater and agricultural soil, for CP in MSM, SWW and WW was investigated. Bacterial consortium was immobilized in Calcium Alginate Microspheres (CAMs) and coated with polysulfone to produce environmentally stable macrocapsules (MCs). Bacterial strains were identified using 16S rRNA nucleotide sequence analysis as Pseudomonas kilonensis SRK1 (KT013088), Serratia marcescens SRK2 (KT013089), Bacillus pumilus SRK4 (KT013091), Achromobacter xylosoxidans SRK5 (KT013092) and Klebsiella sp. T13 (KT013093). About 98% CP removal was observed at initial CP concentration of 400 mg/L in 48 h in MSM when free cells were used as consortium. In WW bacterial consortium achieved ~29% removal efficiency of initial CP concentration (545 mg/L). After pH adjustment and addition of glucose in WW >97% CP removal efficiency was achieved in WW. MCs have high thermal, pH and chemical stability than CAMs. Complete biodegradation of CP (100-600 mg/L) was achieved using MCs within 18 h much less than free cells. CAMs and MCs retain >96% residual activity in MSM upto 5 and 13 cycles respectively. In WW >90 residual activity was maintained upto 11batches by MCs. MCs have shown unaltered biomass retention and residual activity (95%) over 16 weeks of storage. GCMS analysis has shown 3, 5, 6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP), 3, 5, 6-trichloro-2methoxypyridine (TMP) and diethyl-thiophosphate (DETP) as metabolites. MCs have shown considerable benefits over free cells i.e. tolerance for higher CP concentration, complete removal in short duration, reusability, stability, protecting bacterial cells against nontargeted compounds present in wastewater. Study advances potential for field application of immobilized bacteria for biotreatment of pesticide contaminated wastewater.

سیدنا ڈاکٹر طاہر سیف الدین

سیّدنا ڈاکٹر طاہر سیف الدین
پچھلے دنوں یہ خبر بڑے افسوس کے ساتھ سنی گئی کہ سیّدنا ڈاکٹر طاہر سیف الدین صاحب نے ۷۷ برس کی عمر میں چند روز کی علالت کے بعد بمبئی میں وفات پائی، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون ۔ مرحوم اگرچہ بوہرہ جماعت کے سب سے بڑے مذہبی پیشوا یعنی داعی مطلق تھے۔اوراس حیثیت سے انھوں نے اس طبقہ کی دینی اوراخلاقی اصلاح اورتعلیمی واقتصادی فلاح وبہبود کے لیے بڑی ہی شان دار خدمات انجام دی ہیں ،لیکن ان میں تعصب یا گروہ بندی کاجذبہ بالکل نہیں تھا، مسلمانوں کے دوسرے دینی اور تعلیمی اداروں سے بھی تعلق رکھتے اوراُن کی مالی امداد واعانت کرتے تھے۔مسلم یونیورسٹی علی گڑھ کے دس بارہ برس سے چانسلر تھے اورصرف برائے نام نہیں بلکہ اُس کے معاملات سے خاطر خواہ دل چسپی لیتے اورضرورت کے وقت اُس کی مالی مدد بھی کرتے تھے۔ ان کی جودوعطاء اورفیاضی کادامن نہایت وسیع تھا، اس باب میں مذہب ،رنگ ونسل اور قومیت ووطنیت کاکوئی فرق وامتیاز نہیں ہوتا تھا۔علی گڑھ آتے تھے توایک روز چند گھنٹے صرف غریب اور حاجت مند طلباء سے ملاقات کے لیے مخصوص ہوتے تھے ۔اس وقت طلباء باری باری سے پیش ہوتے اور اپنی مراد پاکر واپس ہوتے تھے۔ علم وفضل ، تقویٰ وطہارت اوراخلاق وفضائل کے اعتبارسے بڑا اونچا مقام رکھتے تھے۔ اسلامی شعائر اورآداب کااس درجہ اہتمام ہوتاتھا کہ یونیورسٹی کی ایک تقریب میں ایک طالبِ علم نے ننگے سرقرآن مجید کی تلاوت شروع کی تو فوراً اُسے ٹوکا۔ انہیں دنوں میں ایک روز مجھ کوخاص طور پراپنی قیام گاہ پربلایا اور تنہائی میں کم و بیش نصف گھنٹہ تک مسلمانوں اورخاص کر طلباء کے دینی اوراخلاقی انحطاط پر سخت تشویش اور رنج کا اظہار فرماتے رہے، اس کے علاوہ کلکتہ اور علی گڑھ میں اور بھی کئی مرتبہ شرفِ ملاقات حاصل...

نجيب الكيلاني في مرآة الأدباء والشعراء

Dr. Najib Al- Kailani (1931-1995) is one of the prominent poet and writer of Arabic literature. The multidimensionality of his personality is rare example of the history of Islamic literature. He was a renowned poet, writer, a medical professional, a thinker and overall a great human being. He laid the foundation of the Islamic literature and introduced a sound methodology.  His precious literary works in Arabic and Islamic school of thought made his personality more prominent. He not only discusses the issues and challenges faced by Egyptian Muslims but also covers the whole Islamic world and as well as those Muslims who are in minority in their countries. His literary works are a good source of knowledge for not only the   general readers but for the intellectuals and writers as well. Research works are being carried out on different dimensions of his personality in different ways by the different universities in the world. Research articles and discussions are being carried out and conferences are also organized in different Arab countries in the memory of Dr Najib Al-Kailani. Kailani was paid rich tributes by Arab writers and thinkers for his unique wealth of literary works. In this article we present the views of Arabian writers about his literary status.

Requirement Elicitation Techniques Using Scrum Practices in Offshore Development

In Pakistan, offshore development is being carried out in most of the software development organizations. Agile methodology is being used in these organizations as their SDLC method to develop software. Scrum is one of the famous forms of agile which is equipped with light weight, better customer involvement/interaction and prototyping for review requirements engineering practices. These Scrum practices are contrary to old-fashioned requirements elicitation practices. Requirements elicitation using Scrum in this paradigm becomes more difficult during offshore development of a software system. Literature reports that the third most significant reason in failure of a project is elicitation of incomplete requirements. This study will examine different elicitation techniques which are used in Scrum Offshore development and will highlight the issues. Moreover, this study will also propose an appropriate framework using scrum elicitation technique for requirement capturing in offshore development. For the validation, the proposed framework technique will be tested in software industry.
