Contamination level of antibiotics namely ofloxacin (OFL), ciprofloxacin (CIP), levofloxacin (LEV), oxytetracycline (OXT) and doxycycline (DOX) were quantified in wastewater, soil, plants and underground water of areas surrounding pharmaceutical industry in Lahore. HPLC with DAD detector, C-18 column and solid phase cartridges were used to analyze antibiotic residues. In wastewater CIP was 3.0-5.25 mg/L, LEV was 0-6.20 mg/L, OFL was 2.45-4.12 mg/L, OXT was 0-9.40 mg/L, and DOX was 1.58-6.75 mg/L. From wastewater antibiotics accumulate in environmental segments and impact human health. From wastewater antibiotics accumulate in soil and plants and percolate to groundwater. The contamination level was 1000 times higher in wastewater samples than other samples, as it is the primary source of antibiotics entering environment. After wastewater, soil was the most contaminated environmental segment and ground water was the least contaminated by these residues but water is very important as it is source of accumulation of antibiotics to human and animal body as well as to plants. Drinking water is most essential thing for life on earth. Due to environmental pollution day by day the quality of drinking water is deteriorating. Ground water is being contaminated due to industrial pollution. In groundwater DOX has highest mean level of contamination and OFL was determined as highest contaminating pollutant in soil. Highest detected value in groundwater of OFL was 0.50, CIP and LEV 0.20, DOX 0.80 and OTC 0.40 ng/L. Ground water has residual level of CIP 0.01-0.20 ng/L, LEV 0.02-0.20 ng/L, OFL 0.01-0.50 ng/L, OTC 0.02-0.40 ng/L, and DOX 0.04-0.80 ng/L. Soil and vegetables are the most integral environmental segments for human and animal life. Day by day both of these segments are becoming polluted by anthropogenic resources and one of the major sources of contamination is pharmaceutical wastewater entering environment. Contamination level of OFL, CIP, LEV, OTC and DOX were determined (found) in vegetables samples in areas surrounding pharmaceutical industry. HPLC with DAD detector, C-18 column and solid phase cartridges were used to extract and analyze antibiotic residues in carrot, wheat and spinach samples. In wheat samples LEV and in spinach and carrot samples OFL was detected as highest accumulated antibiotic among five antibiotics selected. In all types of vegetables samples the contamination of each antibiotic was highest in leaves and lowest in fruits. The order of accumulation was leaves > stem / shoot > root > fruit. The contamination level was higher in soil samples than vegetables samples. From soil antibiotics accumulate in plants and vegetables, and leach to groundwater. Plants and vegetables directly or indirectly are a part of human food. The most appropriate method to stop antibiotic pollution in environmental segments is to remove or eliminate these pollutants at source. For such treatment of wastewater containing antibiotics, six photocatalyst P-I, P-II, P-III, P-IV, P-V, P-VI obtained by doping of Cr, Co, and V, were used to degrade 25 ppm, 50 ppm and 100 ppm sample solutions of CIP, LEV, OFL, DOX and OXT. After 30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 120 min time period of addition of photocatalysts these samples solution were analyzed for the degradation efficacy of photocatalyst. The degradation of these antibiotics was observed for variation in parameter like pH of the solution, time of exposure to sunlight, temperature of the solution and amount of the photocatalyst added in the solution.

فیض احمد فیض

فیض احمد فیض(۱۹۱۱ء۔۱۹۸۴ء) کا اصل نام فیض احمد خان تھا۔ اور فیضؔتخلص تھا۔ آپ سیالکوٹ میں پیدا ہوئے۔ آپ کے والد خان بہادر سلطان خان ایک کامیاب بیرسٹر تھے۔ فیض نے ابتدائی تعلیم مولوی میر حسن اور مولوی ابراہیم میر سیالکوٹی سے حاصل کی۔۱۹۲۹ء میں فیض نے مرے کالج سیالکوٹ سے ایف ۔اے کا امتحان پاس کیا۔ ۱۹۳۶ء میں آپ نے انجمن ترقی پسند مصنفین کے قیام میں بھر پور حصہ لیا اور پنجاب شاخ کے صدر مقرر ہوئے۔۱۹۴۶ء میں برٹش کونسل نے انھیں ایم بی ای کا خطاب دیا۔ ۱۹۶۲ء میں ان کو دنیا کا اعلیٰ ترین اعزاز لینن ایوارڈ دیا گیا۔ (۵۶۶) فیض نے لاہور ،کراچی اور مختلف شہروں میں قیام کیا۔ لیکن انھیں اپنے آبائی گاؤں کالا قادر سے بے حد محبت تھی۔ جب نارووال سے کالا قادر تک پختہ سڑک بنی تو انھوں نے ۱۹۸۰ء میں بیروت سے ’’گاؤں کی سڑک‘‘ کے عنوان سے نظم لکھی۔ جب تک وہ زندہ رہے اپنے گاؤں میں اپنے عزیز و اقارب سے ملنے آتے رہے۔ اپنی وفات سے تین دن پہلے ۱۷ نومبر ۱۹۸۴ء میں فیض نے اپنی زندگی کا آخری مشاعرہ نارووال (سیالکوٹ) کے شعرا کے درمیان پڑھا۔اسی دن فیض نے نارووال میں ’’فیض اکیڈمی‘‘ کی بنیاد بھی رکھی۔ فیض کے انتقال کے بعد ان کے آبائی گاؤں کالا قادر کانام تبدیل کر کے فیض نگر رکھ دیا گیا۔ اس گاؤں میں اب ہر سال فیض میلہ بھی منعقد ہوتا ہے۔(۵۶۷)

۱۹۴۱ء میں فیض کا پہلا شعری مجموعہ’’نقش فریادی‘‘ شائع ہوا۔ جس نے اُس زمانے کی ادبی فضا میں ہلچل مچا دی۔ یہ مجموعہ جدید شاعری میں ایک منفرد آواز ہے۔ اس میں فیض کی پہلے دور کی غزلیں اور نظمیں شامل ہیں۔ ان نظموں اور غزلیات میں ایک مسحور کن اور رومانی کیفیت پائی جاتی ہے۔

دوسرا مجموعہ کلام ’’دست صبا‘‘ کے نام سے ۱۹۵۲ء میں شائع ہوا۔ اس...

PARADIGMA BARU PENDIDIKAN KONTEMPORER DI INDONESIA

Education is a series of processes of human empowerment towards maturity, both intellectually, mentally and morally, to carry out the humanitarian function carried as a servant (abd) in front of his Khaliq and as a "preserver" (caliph) in the earth. The position of contemporary education in the midst of the spirit of national education reform, of course it is necessary to look at the meaning and role of contemporary education in this national life. Similarly, in order to find a new paradigm of contemporary education, it should begin with the existence of Islamic education in the history of national and state life. And in developing the quality of contemporary education, of course it is necessary to pay attention. First, education is increasingly demanded to appear as emerging in the development of the quality of human resources (output of education). Second, in the perspective of the world of work, an orientation to real abilities (what one can do) that can be displayed by very strong education graduates Third, as a result of globalization.

Moderatingeffect of Earnings Management on Relationshipbetween Corporate Social Responsibility and Financial Performance

This study is an empirical substantiation of earnings management as a moderating variable on relationship involving corporate social responsibility and financial performance. The study is conducted by taking sample of 80 firms listed on PSX selected through stratified random sampling for period of 2013 to 2017. Data is analyzed by multiple linear regression, descriptive statistics and moderated regression analysis through SPSS. Study provides evidence that CSR exerts positive impact on ROA and price to earnings ratio. Earnings management intervenes in the relationship between the CSR and ROA, then significant impact of CSR on ROA decreases. Whereas earnings management does not moderate the relationship relating CSR and PE ratio, which is the market measure of financial performance. Market measures are not directly influenced by CSR and earnings management activities. The results suggested that when higher earnings management initiates CSR practices, these further worsen the FP, so stakeholders should be cautious about these activities
