The objectives of the study were to investigate the study habits, socio-economic status of students'' parents, school climate and academic achievement of students studying at secondary schools.it was also aimed to explore the relationship among these variables. Study also assessed the difference in study habits by gender and by locale about Study habits. The objectives of the study were to: a) survey the study habits of secondary school students in public schools of Punjab, .b) survey the climate of public secondary schools in Punjab, c) find out how socio economic status and school climate influence students'' study habits at secondary school level, d) investigate how socio economic status, school climate, and study habits of students determine their academic achievement at secondary school level. The major research questions of the study were: a) What are the prevailing study habits of secondary school male and female students in rural and urban schools? b) What are the patterns of school climate in public secondary schools? c) How study habits are influenced by socio economic status and school climate? d) How parents‘ socio economic status, school climate, and study habits determine students'' academic achievement? The researcher used a mixed method research design (quantitative and qualitative) to examine the relationship of variables. Three instruments were used namely, "Study Skills Inventory", "School Climate Student Questionnaire", and questionnaire for socio-economic status of parents and demographic information. Information about students‘ academic achievement was taken from their Secondary School Certificate Examination. Interview method was used to interview critical cases. The population of the study was all students studying in class 10th at public sector schools of Punjab Province. The sample (1500 students from sixty schools) was drawn by using multistage sampling technique from five districts of Punjab province of Pakistan. The data were collected by administering the questionnaires to students in their classes. The students'' responses were measured and relationship between study habits school climate and socio economic status was also explored. Later on effect of study habits school climate and socio economic status on students` achievement was examined. Computations were made using SPSS-20 software package. Along with mean score and standard deviation (SD), t test, effect size, One-way ANOVA and Pearson r correlation and regression were used to analyze and interpret data. It was found that gender; locale, parents'' socio economic status and school climate have impact on students'' study habits. The study also explored parents'' socio economic status and school climate and students'' study habits have impact on students'' academic achievement at secondary school level. In the light of conclusions it was recommended that the enhancement of school climate and development of good study habits focus on better academic results.

قرآنی استفہامی اسلوب کے مقاصد

۹قرآنی استفہامی اسلوب کے مقاصد

قرآن مجید میں خدا اور مخلوق کے تعلق کو واضح کرنے کے لئے انسانی زبان میں سے زیادہ تر الفاظ بطور انداز بیان، مصطلحات اور استعارے استعمال کئے گئے ہیں ، یہی وجہ ہے کہ اس کا اسلوب بیان بھی انسانی فکر و نظر اور ذوق سلیم کے مطابق ہے۔ یعنی قرآن مجید کا یہ منفرد اندازِ بیان ہر نفس کو فرداً فرداً یکساں طور پر متاثر کرتا ہے اور پڑھتے وقت یہی باور کراتا ہے کہ قرآن اس کے قلب پر نازل ہو رہا ہے۔ قرآن مجید کے مختلف اسالیب کی طرف خود اللہ تعالیٰ نے ارشاد فرما یا :

"نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ اَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ بِمَآ اَوْحَيْنَـآ اِلَيْكَ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ" ۔[[1]]

" (اے محمدؐ) ہم اس قرآن کو تمہاری طرف وحی کر کے بہترین پیرائے میں واقعات اور حقائق تم سے بیان کرتے ہیں"۔

قرآن حکیم کو دینی فیوض و برکات کے ساتھ ساتھ زبان و بیان اور منفرد اسلوب کے لحاظ سے بھی دنیائے علم و ادب میں غیر معمولی عظمت و بڑائی کا شرف حاصل ہے اور کفار‘ منکرین حق اور مشرکین کے فصحا و حکماء نور حق سے نابینا اور لذت و وحدت سے ناآشنا ہونے کے باوجود قرآن مجید فرقان حمید کی ادبی لسانی خوبیوں کا اعتراف کرنے پر مجبور ہو گئے تھے۔تاریخی شواہد سے یہ بات واضح ہوجاتی ہے کہ قرآن کریم کے نزول کے بعد بڑے بڑے ادباء وشعراء کی زبانوں پرمہر لگ گئی۔ اس کی ایک عمدہ مثال جاہلی دور کے شاعر معلقات لبید بن ربیعہ ہے جس کے شعروں پر اس کے معاصرین نے کئی بار سجدۂ تہنیت کیا اور اُسے خراج تحسین سے نوازا، اور وہی شاعر...

Time Management in Islam

The concept of time management is practice from decades. Time management has grabbed the attention of many scholars and there were many writings and analysis made. Time management is an important issue of human life as you cannot add more hours in a day, you have to plan yourself with the limitation of time. Islam focuses on the time management so that a believer should balance his life (spiritually, socially and economically). Islamic teachings are dynamic in their approach, they teach Muslim from every aspect of life and allow them to spend their time productively. Islam’s main focus is on the planning and organizing the time and our main focus is to depict what Islam teaches about time management and how it is practiced in the world. Then conventional methods of management are similar to the Islamic teachings.

Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on Oxidative Stress, Tissues Alterations in the Rohu Labeo Rohita and Impact of Garlic Oil Allium Sativum and Cerium Oxide on the Antioxidant System of Challenged Fish

Large applications spectrum largely hangs on physicochemical and biological properties of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) which vary with changing particles size. The unique properties of Ag-NPs are responsible for large uses in consumer‘s product and industry. Keeping in view the importance, Ag-NPs were grown through chemical and biological reduction. Formaldehyde was reducing agent in chemical route whereas, the lemon extract was in biological route. SEM images suggest agglomeration of small, grain like and spherical Ag-NPs in both routes. Particles were 16.59 nm mean size in chemical route 42.93 nm in biological route. Ranges of particles were 5-80 nm in chemical route and between 5-100 nm in biological method. The FT-IR spectra confirmed the particles were amine coated in chemical route. This study documented the proof of high profile of nutrients, minerals, total phenolic in garlic (40.80 ±2 .91 mg GAE/100 g) and flavonoid content (4.59 ± 1.28 mg RE/100 g). These components enable garlic to ameliorate a stress which is oxidative in nature. To record this capability, free radicals were emolyed including ABTS, FRAP and DPPH ABTS. Garlic exhibited significantly different scavenging of these radicals with values of starting from 35.22 ± 6.63 for FRAP, 28.82 ± 11.61 for DPPH and 231.64 ± 25.02 mg vitamin C equivalent for ABTS when determined per 100 g sample. In next study phase, effect on haematology, tissue alterations and oxidative stress posed by these particles were quantified. For this purpose, Labeo rohita (L. rohita) (50 ± 5 g weight, 29 ± 09 cm in length) was used. Six treatments were maintained in three replicates having 5 fishes in each replicate. First treatment was used as control and other five treatments were exposed to 10, 20, 30, 45 and 55 mgL-1 respectively for 28 days. Samples were randomly collected from each treatment on 7th, 14th and 28th day. Ag-NPs caused oxidative stress, significant haematological changes, gills and liver alterations. Liver and gill antioxidant system respond to elevated level of oxidative stress and changed the enzymatic level. Activity of CAT flucated at different concentrations and time intervals. Ag-NPs also stimulated production of SOD to increase the activity. The low dose also stimulated the synthesis and enhanced activity of GST in response to electrophilic toxic Ag-NPs. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content was slightly higher in liver compared to gill possibly due to involvement of liver in detoxification process. Elevated level of GSH showed that liver started defensive mechanism against the oxyraidcals. Ag-NPs also produced genotoxicity in test fish. This genotoxicity was assessed through comet and micronuclei assay. An increase in both comet and micronuclei was recorded in dose dependant manner which proved the genotoxicity of Ag-NPs. Elevated frequency of comet was recorded at 55 mgL-1 and same was in case of nuclear alterations (16.34 ± 2.71 %) and micronuclei (6.35 ± 1.34 %). The Ag-NPs also induced pathological changes in gills tissue and 10 mg L-1 Ag-NPs treatment induced fusion of secondary lamellae and separation of gill epithelium where treatment of 20 to 55 mg L-1 produced deformation, fusion and necrosis of lamellar cells, Hyperplasia, deformed cartilaginous skeleton, separation and lifting of epithelium, curling of lamellae. In liver, Ag-NPs created abnormality in hepatic tissues reducing the size of cells and nuclei. At lowest concentration, the hepatocytes began to swell where, higher concentrations accumulated condensed nuclear and pycnotic nuclei. The particles further caused cognitive enlargement of lysosomes, reduction in size of hepatocytes and stimulated production of necrotic and apoptotic bodies. In last part of study, ameliorated role of nano-ceria and garlic was determined against Ag-NPs induced toxicity. The Ag-NPs (25 mgL-1) and nano-ceria (50 μg kg-1) were given through water and prepared feed respectively. Results demonstrated that pre-treatment of nano-ceria recovered the L. rohita from Ag-NPs induce toxicity and oxidative stress. The nano-ceria pre-treatment actively restored the activity of GST, GSH CAT and SOD. It also reduced the level of lipid peroxidation. Further, pre-treatment also improved the haematological parameters, gill and liver tissue structure against Ag-NPs toxicity. Same was in case of garlic study. However, nano-ceria showed slightly higher ameliorated role compare to garlic. Further, garlic and nano-ceria showed better results of ameliorations in combined form compared to alone garlic and nano-ceria. This study concluded that, Ag-NPs induced toxicity and pre-treatment of nano-ceria and garlic recovered L. rohita from Ag-NPs induce toxicity and oxidative stress.
