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.

سیالکوٹ پاکستان کا ایک قدیم شہر ہے۔یہ ۳۲ درجے ۳۰ دقیقے عرض بلد شمالی اور ۷۴ درجے ۳۲ دقیقے طول بلد پر واقع ہے۔یہ سطح سمند ر سے ۸۰۰ فٹ بلند ہے۔(۱)اس کے شمال میں ضلع گجرات اور جموں کا علاقہ ہے۔جنوب میں بھارت کا ضلع امر تسر ،مشرق میں ضلع گورداس پور،مغرب میں ضلع شیخوپورہ اور جنوب مغرب میں ضلع گوجرانوالہ ہے۔(۲) مغرب میں دریائے چناب ضلع سیالکوٹ اور ضلع گجرات کے درمیان بہتا ہے ۔سیالکوٹ رچنا دو آب میں (دریائے راوی اور چناب کے درمیان)واقع ہے اوراس کا بالائی حصہ (جو کوہ ہمالیہ کی تلہٹی میں واقع ہے) بہت زرخیز ہے۔جنوبی حصہ نسبتاً کم زرخیز ہے۔(۳)شہر کے شمال سے گزرنے والے دریائے چناب کے سوٹے کوہ ہمالیہ سے پھوٹتے ہیں ۔یہ قدیم دریا عوامی جمہوریہ چین کے قریب سے شروع ہوتا ہے۔قدیم زمانے میں اس دریا کو ’’چین آب ‘‘ کے نام سے پکارا جاتا تھا۔جو زمانے کے ساتھ ساتھ تبدیل ہوتا ہوا آج دریائے چناب کہلاتا ہے۔یہ دریا جموں کشمیر کے پہاڑی علاقوں سے گزرتا ہوا جب ضلع سیالکوٹ میں داخل ہوتا ہے تو ہیڈ مرالہ کے مقام پر یہاں اس میں دو اور دریا اٹھکیلیاں کرتے اور زندگی کی بہاریں تقسیم کرتے آکر مل جاتے ہیں۔یہ دریائے جموں توی اور دریائے (مناواں) مناور توی ہیں۔(۴)

احادیث کی روشنی میں عصر حاضر کے چند اہم مالی معاملات کا تحقیقی جائزہ

Islam is a global religion and has provided a comprehensive code of life applicable in every age. Economy is one of its foremost priorities and gives basic principles to its followers to exercise a legal and favorable mean of earning. In Islamic economic system there are many ways and sources that have been prohibited or have not been recommended. As in our daily life we face those modes of financing, so in this article they have been comparatively analyzed in light of the sayings of the Prophet (S.A.W) in order to explore its legitimacy.

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Indigenous Goat Breeds of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan.

Goat population is increasing at a faster rate (4%) than other co-existing livestock species in Pakistan. Four indigenous goat breeds of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan i.e. Gaddi, Damani, Kaghani and Surgoli were sampled from their home tracts for morphological and molecular characterization. A total of 120 samples (30 of each breed) were studied. Gaddi was of largest size manifested by large body length, chest girth, ear blade width, head length, heights and horn length and was the heaviest in weight compared to other breeds. Both Kaghani and Gaddi breeds have long and glossy hair with coat color of white, black or grey. Surgoli and Damani have medium hair, white, red, black or brown in colour. Most Kaghani and Gaddi have beards, less common in Surgoli and Damani. No wattle was observed in Kaghani or Gaddi breeds but present in Damani and Surgoli. All the four breeds have horns and no polled individual was seen. Morphologically Damani has screwed 56.7% and Gaddi have curved horns 66.7% while Kaghani and Damani have 83.3% and 43.3% spiral horns respectively. Gaddi and Kaghani showed better performance as compared to Damani and Surgoli especially in terms of milk and meat production. Total of 30 SSR markers were used of which 24 were amplified. In total 130 alleles were detected. Surgoli was the most diverse breed and the least was Gaddi. Mean number of alleles, effective number of alleles and unique alleles were 5.42, 3.89 and 11 respectively. Average genetic diversity was 0.689, the highest in Surgoli i.e. 0.7228.F indics (FIT), (FST) and FIS were calculated as 0.706, 0.075 and 0.670 respectively. All pair wise estimate of population differentiation was significant P<0.05. Mean Nm (gene flow) value was 2.92 migrants per generation. Average observed and expected heterozygosity was 0.219 and 0.727 respectively. PIC of 0.585 showed that most markers are highly polymorphic. Allelic richness ranged from 4.00 to 4.71. The Bottle neck analysis showed that Gaddi, Damani and Surgoli were in a state of mutation drift equilibrium while Kaghani deviated from mutation drift equilibrium. This instability of the population is an evidence of genetic bottleneck. Phenotypic and molecular characterization of animals is much needed for conservation and designing improvement strategy for these genetic resources of a country.
