This study examines the perspective of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) in textile industries in Faisalabad district of Punjab. The concept of occupational Health and Safety in developing countries is limited and diseases and accidents at work remain one of the most appalling tragedies of the modern industrial age therefore the incidence of occupational diseases and injuries is high. No sufficient data about OHS are available in Pakistan because the majority of accidents are not reported to the Labour Department. Pakistan also has poor occupational safety and health legislation and infrastructure. The health and safety measures prescribed in most of the laws have not kept pace with the rapidly changing the biggest enterprises with the largest employed rate in Pakistan. Keeping in view the present study has been undertaken. The sample was consisted of six randomly selected textile units from the total 29units of the district Faisalabad, Pakistan. The quantitative and qualitative both approaches were employed to collect the data. The total sample size was 600.The 480 workers and 120 mangers were selected through proportionate sampling technique. Data was collected through a well-structured interviewing schedule. The data collected were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics techniques at univariate, bivariate and multivariate levels. The results showed that awareness regarding OHS measure is poor among workers as compared to the managers. The workers frequently suffered from various diseases such as itching, headache and respiratory problem. The available general facilities were satisfactory while technical facilities were inadequate. Most of the respondents did not receive any training for using technical facilities and where not familiar with procedure to be followed during emergencies. The workers were not satisfied by the available medical and hygiene facilities. The information level about the injurious chemical and their harmful effect was insufficient among workers. The control measures were available but were inadequate in majority of the enterprises. It is suggested that a complete training and awareness programme including legal and medical protection issues.

محنت کی عظمت

محنت میں عظمت
محنت میں عظمت سے مراد یہ ہے کہ کام کر کے ،دست و باز وکو با مقصد متحرک کر کے، قلوب و اذہان کو طمانیت بخشتے ہوئے حصولِ عظمت کی خاطر جہد مسلسل کرنا، گورا ہو، کالا ہو، پست ہو، طویل القامت ہو، دُبلا پتلا ہو یا لحیم شحیم ہو، یہودی ہو، نصرانی ہو یا ٓتش پرست، الغرض جس مسلک یامشرب سے منسلک ہواس بات کا وہ ضرور معترف ہے کہ اگر کوئی عظمت، آن اور تفوق کے سہرے کو اپنے سر پر سجانا چاہتا ہے تو وہ صرف اور صرف محنت سے ہی ایسا کر سکتا ہے۔
فرمانِ باری تعالیٰ ہے ’’انسان کے لیے وہی کچھ ہے جس کے لئے وہ کوشش اور محنت کرتا ہے‘‘بنی نوع انسان کی تاریخ کے اوراق کا اگر مطالعہ اورمشاہدہ کریں تو یہ بات اظہر من الشمس ہے کہ جن سلف صالحین اور نابغۂ روز گار ہستیوں نے نام پیدا کیا وہ شب و روز محنت و مشقت کی چکی میں پستی رہیں۔ اقبال نام کے ہزاروں ہوں گے لیکن علامہ اقبال رحمۃاللہ علیہ ایک ہی ہے۔ اسی طرح غزالی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ ، رازی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نفیسی رحمۃاللہ علیہ جیسے زعماء جو آسمان علم و دانش پر آفتاب و ماہتاب بن کر چمکے یہ سب ان کی محنت لگن ، کاوش اور انتھک جد و جہد کا نتیجہ تھا۔ محنت شاقہ اور جذبہ صادق ہوتو کہساروں سے بھی جوئے شیر نکالی جاسکتی ہے۔
نامی کوئی بغیر مشقت نہیں ہوا
سو بار جب عقیق کٹا تب نگیں ہوا
حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم کی حدیث پاک ہے کہ’’ حلال روزی کمانے والا ( محنت کر نیوالا ) اللہ تعالیٰ کا دوست ہوتا ہے۔‘‘ نماز پنجگانہ ایک اہم عبادت ہے، ز کوٰ ۃ ارکان اسلام سے ایک اہم رکن ہے، حج ایک اہم عبادت...

Should teens be allowed to consent for vaccines?

Teens and children will need to be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19. Most parents are eager to have their teens immunized, whereas some are hesitant. Should teens be allowed to consent to immunization even if their parents’ objects? Vaccines are safe and effective, medically recommended, and good for both the individual and the community. Inspite of these powerful arguments, the law lags behind. Most parents want their teens to be immunized. Most vaccine-hesitant parents ultimately agree to vaccination. Furthermore, teens who get COVID generally have mild cases. For now, the law in most states does not permit teens to consent to the COVID-19 vaccine without parental permission.

Molecular Markers of Susceptibility to Prion Diseases in Local Humans and Domesticated Bovids

This thesis presents the lacking information on genetic susceptibility of Pakistani population to human prion disease variants and of local domesticated bovids to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). In study 1, a total of 909 unrelated individuals including 221 hemophiliacs representing all 4 major provinces of Pakistan were screened for M129V polymorphism and insertions or deletions of octapeptide repeats (OPRIs/OPRDs) using Polymerase Chain Reaction coupled with Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Concordance of the results of some PCR-RFLP reactions was also confirmed by dideoxy automated Sanger sequencing. The frequencies of M129V alleles (129M and 129V) and genotypes (129MM, 129MV and 129VV) were found in all 909 individuals to be 0.7101, 0.2899, 0.5270, 0.3663 and 0.1067, respectively. Deletion of 1 octapeptide repeat (1-OPRD) was detected in heterozygous state in PRNP of 10 individuals and in homozygous state in 1 individual. An insertion of 3 octapeptide repeats (3-OPRI) was found in 1 individual and an insertion of 1 octapeptide repeat (1-OPRI) in two individuals. Both 3-OPRI and 1-OPRI were present in heterozygous state and were linked to 129M allele. There were no significant χ2 differences between M129V allelic and genotypic frequencies of healthy individuals and hemophiliacs. However, M129V allelic and genotypic frequencies differed significantly between Pakistani population and East Asian and Western populations. Non-significant χ2 differences between M129V frequencies of healthy individuals and hemophiliacs suggest that individuals manifesting single gene disorders may provide naturally randomized samples for studies aiming at surveying the genetic variation. The combined excess of 129MM and 129VV homozygosity and the presence of 3-OPRI in 1 individual imply that Pakistani population may be susceptible to prion disorders. In study 2, a total of 236 cattle from 7 breeds and 281 buffaloes from 5 breeds were screened for E211K polymorphism and 23 bp and 12 bp indels employing triplex PCR. The E211K polymorphism was not detected in any of the animals studied. The 23 bp insertion allele was underrepresented in studied cattle breeds while the 12 bp insertion allele was overrepresented. Both 23 bp and 12 bp insertion alleles were overrepresented in studied buffalo breeds. Almost 90% of alleles were insertion alleles across all studied buffalo breeds. The average frequency of 23 bp and 12 bp insertion alleles across all studied cattle breeds was found to be 0.1822 and 0.9407, respectively. There were significant differences between Pakistani and worldwide cattle in terms of allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies of 23 bp and 12 bp indels. The higher observed frequency of 12 bp insertion allele suggests that Pakistani cattle are relatively more resistant to classical BSE than European cattle.
