Leishmaniasis a group of parasitic diseases related to a major health problem in Asian sub-continent, Africa and rest of world. New discovery and isolation of drug against different types of leishmaniasis is one of the researcher priorities. This works describes an analytical platform based on a semi-high resolution Antileishmanial bioassays in combination with hyphenation of high performance liquid chromatography, solid phase extraction, and tube-transfer nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. i.e., HPLC-SPE-ttNMR/semi-high resolution Antileishmanial assay. The platform enables fast screening for individual leishmania tropica inhibitory analytes in complex matrices, followed by structural identification targeted these L. tropica inhibitors via in vitro, in vivo and cytotoxic test. The plant Lawsonia Inermis was collected from territory of Dera Ismail Khan. Methanol extracts of plant material at concentrations of 10 - 100 µg/ml were tested for them in vitro anti-leishmanial effects on L. tropica KWH23 promastigotes for 24-48 h, relative to negative control and Amphotericin-B (standard drug). For in vivo anti-leishmanial activity, the extract was tested against L. tropica-infected albino mice, while cytotoxicity was investigated against mammalian cells (lymphocytes). For Lawsonia Inermis leaves, mean % inhibition of extracellular promastigotes at 10 µg/ml, 25 µg/ml, 50 µg/ml, and 100 µg/ml after 48 h were 98.2 ± 0.06, 98.75 ± 1.09, 99.31 ± 0.00 and 100.00 ±0.00 respectively. After 8 weeks, mean lesion size decreased from 0.8 ± 0.2mm to 0.3 ± 0.1mm (p < 0.01), and % cure at 150mg/kg against intracellular amastigotes in albino mice was 97.02 (95% C.I = 96.14-98.10). IC50 for Lawsonia Inermis leaves was 12.22 µg/ml (95% C.I = 11.54-13.84) against lymphocytes. The results obtained in this study show that leaves of Lawsonia Inermis are safe and possess potent anti-leishmanial activity. Fractional separation of Lawsonia Inermis leaves was done by applying polarity based solvent system comprised of n-Hexane, Chloroform, Ethyl acetate and Methanol. Phytochemical screening declared that Flavonoids, Coumarins, Phenol and Alkaloids are present in Lawsonia Inermis. Further characterization including identification and evaluation of isolated fractions and compounds was performed via hyphenated HPLC-HRMS-SPE-ttNMR spectroscopic techniques. Active analytes were cumulatively trapped on SPE cartridges and the structures identified by 1H NMR experiments obtained in the HPLC-SPE-ttNMR mode showed six known compounds from the leaves of Lawsonia Inermis; Luteolin (1), Lalioside (2), Luteolin-4’-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), Apigenin 4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(4), Apigenin (5) and 2, 4, 6-trihydroxyacetophenone-2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6). In vitro results showed that luteolin having IC50 of 4.15 value; eliminate the clinically isolated L. tropica promastigotes within 48 hours which is a promising result against leishmaniasis while Amphotericin-B was the reference drug. Lesions sizes were determined in BALB/c mice when luteolin were given to mice while proceeding in vivo study. After 60 days’ treatment, most of mice in Group I, II, III, IV and V were recovered; lesions of few mice were completely healed at 90th day in same groups. In negative control study, 1 mouse died on 45th day and 2 on 90th day. For compound 1, mean lesion size decreased from 0.82 ± 0.12 up to 0.10 ± 0.01 after 120 days, with 97% cure of intracellular L. tropica amastigotes at dose 15mg/kg, compared to Amphotericin B which had 95% cure at a dose of 30 mg/kg. IC50 for compound 1 was 4.15 µg/ml against lymphocytes. The results indicate that luteolin is a potent inhibitor of L. tropica promastigotes and amastigotes, but it had higher cytotoxic effects against lymphocytes, relative to luteolin-4’-O-β-D-glucopyranoside. To eliminate leishmaniasis through discovery of potent drug, further research work should be done to check the efficacy of luteolin and luteolin-4’-O-β-D-glucopyranoside on dogs. Next step should be monkeys and human beings later on.

اُسی کے اسمِ اعظم سے ہی دل کو شاد کرنے میں

نعت

اُسی کے اسمِ اعظم سے ہی دل کو شاد کرنے میں
بہت ہی لطف آتا ہے نبیؐ کو یاد کرنے میں

بہ نامِ احمدؐ مرسل حدیثِ دل میں کہتی ہوں
کرم اُنؐ کا ہی شامل ہے مری فریاد کرنے میں

زمیں تا آسماں ہیں منتظر نورِ مجسم کے
حیاتِ جاوداں ملتی ہے ان کو یاد کرنے میں

انھی کے ذکر سے دونوں جہاں نے زندگی پائی
وہی ہیں کار فرما بس جہاں آباد کرنے میں

محمدؐ کی محبت سے فضاؔ کا دل دھڑکتا ہے
یہی اک آسرا کافی ہے دل کو شاد کرنے میں

Analisis Keputusan Pembelian Masyarakat Muslim Pada Mie Instan Lemunilo Di Kota Bagansiapiapi

Keputusan pembelian adalah keputusan final konsumen untuk membeli atau tidaknya suatu barang dan jasa dengan membandingkan banyak pertimbangan. Ketika melakukan keputusan pembelian, seringkali terdapat beberapa pilihan antara dua atau lebih alternatif. Ada pun tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini untuk menganalisa Pengaruh  Word Of Mouth, Labelisasi Halal, Dan Celebrity Endorser Terhadap Keputusan Pembelian Mie Lemonilo Pada Masyarakat Muslim di Kota Bagansiapiapi . Populasi dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 100 orang Masyarakat Muslim dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Berdasarkan hasil peneltian ini menunjukkan bahwa Word Of Mouth, Labelisasi Halal, Celebrity Endorser berpengaruh terhadap keputusan pembelian baik secara parsial maupun simultan. Hasil Koefisien Determinasi (R2) menunjukkan bahwa besarnya pengaruh dari ketiga variabel bebas secara bersama-sama  terhadap variabel terikatnya sebesar 52,7% dan sisanya sebesar 47,3% merupakan variabel lain yang tidak diteliti kedalam penelitian ini.

Design of Frequency Selective Surfaces for Shielding Applications

Frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) are periodic arrays of passive structures that exhibit either reflection or transmission response depending on their shielding applications. FSS finds their significant employability in applications, that mostly rely in microwave to terahertz frequency range. Wireless Security and military/defense applications within the limited X-band could potentially utilize FSS to achieve shielding, reduction in Radar Cross Section (RCS) of electrically larger objects and many other applications. Their interesting features can also be used to offer increased performance in antennas. In addition, research into FSS is a continuing endeavor where novel design and analysis of FSS for appropriate applications can be required. The constraints in designing FSS structures for shielding includes miniaturization, wideband shielding effectiveness, incidence angular stability and bendable/conformal configurations. Due to ever increasing demand of high data rate and larger bandwidth, wireless communication started relying on using combination of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology. However, sufficient shielding/isolation and compactness is required for UWB-MIMO systems. These requirements become more prominent when non-planar UWB-MIMO iv systems are designed for 3D system-in-package applications. Likewise, modern communication services also require wideband and enhanced performance antennas incorporated in high gain communication devices. The reported methods only offer performance enhancement for a limited band while sacrificing overall compactness. Miniaturization and wideband performance enhancement is still challenging to achieve for antennas incorporated in high gain communication devices. This research work presents design and analysis of novel planar and bendable/conformal FSS configurations, the proposed conformal configurations include outward, inward and double curved FSS shields on flexible laminates. Miniaturized, wideband and highly selective FSSs are also proposed for both planar and conformal configurations, that meet all the design constraints. The shielding performance is analyzed and validated by simulations, analytical modeling, full wave FE-BI (Finite Element-Boundary Integral) analysis, fabricated system and measurements. In this research, wideband and efficiently shielded non-planar UWB-MIMO systems are presented for 3D system-in-package applications by employing FSSs. Furthermore, a novel FSS shield is investigated to propose a miniaturized, wideband and high gain antenna-FSS arrangement for high gain communication devices. This antenna-FSS arrangement is compact, less complex while offering enhanced wideband performance.
