A series of experiments was conducted to evaluate the storage performance and chilling sensitivity of mango cv. “Langra” fruit and various remedial measures were investigated to extend the storage life of mango fruit by enhancing chilling tolerance. Mango fruits were stored at 5, 10 or 15 ± 1 °C for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 days and evaluated for various physico-chemical attributes and chilling injury. Fruit firmness, titratable acidity, non-reducing sugars and ascorbic acid decreased with the increase in storage temperature and duration. Chilling injury was the highest at the lowest temperature (5 ± 1 °C) and maximum storage duration (30 days). The ion leakage was the least in fruits stored at 10 ± 1 °C and the highest at 15 ± 1 °C and increased with the increase in storage duration. Evaluation of fruits stored for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 days at 5, 10 or 15 ± 1 °C after 3 days simulated markting revealed that weight loss, fruit firmness, chilling injury score, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and non-reducing sugars were the highest in fruits exposed to 5 ± 1 °C before simulation. After simulated marketing, weight loss was initially lower in fruits exposed to 5 ± 1°C but with the increase in storage duration it got higher than the remaining temperatures. The mean ascorbic acid was the highest at 5 ± 1°C after 3 days simulated marketing however, the interaction of storage durations and temperatures revealed rapid decrease in fruit stored for 25 or 30 days at the same temperature. The fruit juice pH and reducing sugars were higher in fruits stored at higher temperature, while the least ion leakage and highest total soluble solids (TSS were in fruits stored at 10 ± 1°C before simulated marketing. While weight loss, chilling injury score, fruit juice pH, ion leakage and reducing sugars increased, the fruit firmness, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and non-reducing sugars decreased after 3 days simulated marketing. The TSS initially increased and then decreased with the increase in storage duration. To reduce chilling injury, mango fruits of cv. “Langra”, were treated with methyl jasmonate (10−4 M), methyl salicylate (0.1mM), acetic acid (4 ml L-1), 1- MCP (2 μL L-1) and ethanol (0.5 M) and stored for10, 20 and 30 days at 5 ± 1 °C. The physical and chemical attributes were evaliauted on day “0”, after completion of the respective cold storage duration and after 3 days simulated marketing. Weight loss, chilling injury score and ion leakage were the highest in control and the least in fruits treated with methyl jasmonate. Treatment of fruits with 1-MCP maintained the maximum firmness, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and non-reducing sugars, whereas the highest TSS, fruit juice pH and reducing sugars during cold storage and simulated marketing were with methyl jasmonate. The TSS increased continuously with the storage and after simulated marketing in fruits treated with 1-MCP but declined after simulated marketing with rest of the treatments. To optimize the heat treatments and subsequent incubation for inducing chilling tolerance, mango fruits were exposed to heat shock at 45 ± 0.5 °C for 0, 2, 4 or 6 hours and then incubated for 0, 3 or 6 hours before storage at 5 ± 1 °C for 30 days with an additional 3 days simulated marketing. These fruits were evaluated for physico-chemical quality attributes and chilling sensitivity after cold storage and simulated marketing. The minimum mean weight loss, chilling injury score and ion leakage, while the maximum fruit firmness, titratable acidity, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars and ascorbic acid after cold storage and simulated marketing, were recorded with 2 hours heat shock treatment. The means for incubation time revealed the minimum weight loss, pH, chilling injury score and ion leakage while the highest fruit firmness, TSS, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and reducing and non-reducing sugars in fruits incubated for 3 hours. To evaluate the influence of cold shock durations and incubation times on quality attributes and chilling sensitivity, mango fruits were treated at 0 °C for 0, 2, 4 or 6 hours and then incubated for 0, 3 or 6 hours before storage at 5 ± 1 °C for 30 days with an additional 3 days simulated marketing time. The mean for cold shock duration showed the minimum weight loss, chilling injury score, ion leakage and fruit juice pH in fruits treated with cold shock for 4 hours that were statistically at par with 6 hours. The incubation time of 6 hours resulted in the least chilling injury score, ion leakage and fruit juice pH both during storage and simulated marketing. Similarly, the highest fruit firmness, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, reducing and non-reducing sugars were in 4 hours cold shock treatment. Ascorbic acid was the maximum during storage in fruits incubated for 3 hours and with 6 hours after simulated marketing. It is concluded from the overall project that mango cv. “Langra” fruits can be stored for 30 days at 5 ± 1 °C, when treated with methyl jasmonate or 1-MCP. Physical treatments such as heat shock (45 ± 0.5 °C for 2 hours + 3 hours incubation) or cold shock (4 hours at 0 °C + 6 hours incubation) are equally effective in reducing chilling injury and retaining mango fruit quality during cold storage and 3 days simulated marketing.

اسلام رواداری کا علمبردار

اسلام رواداری کا علمبردار
اسلام کی رحمت و شفقت کا دائرہ کسی خاص قوم و ملت کے لیے نہیں ہے بلکہ اس کا دائرہ کار پورے عالم انسانیت تک پھیلا ہوا ہے۔ اسلام نے تمام مخلوق کے ساتھ نیکی ، احسان اور بھلائی کا حکم دیا ہے۔حضور اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلمنے فرمایا ہے:۔’’ساری مخلوق خدا کا کنبہ ہے اور اس کے نزدیک سب سے پسندیدہ مخلوق ہے جو اس کے کنبہ کے ساتھ نیکی کرے۔‘‘ (طبرانی وبیہقی)
یہ پہلا سبق تھا کتابِ ہُدیٰ کا
کہ ہے ساری مخلوق کُنبہ خدا کا
’’جوشخص لوگوں پر رحم نہیں کرتا اس پر خدا بھی رحم نہیں کرتا۔‘‘ (ترمذی)
کرو مہربانی تم اہلِ زمیں پر
خدا مہرباں ہو گا عرشِ بریں پر
مذکورہ بالا احادیث مبارکہ سے یہ بات واضح ہورہی ہے کہ اسلام رواداری کا علمبردار ہے۔ وہ ہر ایک کو برابری کی سطح پر دیکھنا چاہتا ہے۔ ایک اور مقام پر بھی کچھ اس طرح کا فرمان رسالت مآب صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم ہے کہ’’ اللہ تعالیٰ کی نظر میں تمام برابر ہیں‘‘ اسلام میںیہ نہیں ہے کہ جو صرف مسلمان پر رحم نہیں کرتا اس پر اللہ تعالیٰ بھی رحم نہیں کرتا ،بلکہ حکم ہے جو لوگوں میں رحم ،شفقت و محبت کے جذبات کو پروان نہیں چڑھا تا وہ خدائے لم یزل کی بے پایاں شفقتوں سے محروم ہو جاتاہے۔ اسلام میں کسی کی تخصیص نہیں کی گئی۔ یہودی ہو ، عیسائی ہو، مجوسی ہو، آتش پرست ہویا زرتشت ہوانسان ہونے کے ناطے سب برابر ہیں۔ اسی طرح ایک اور حدیث پاک میں ہے کہ جنّت ماں کے قدموں کے نیچے ہے، یہاں یہ نہیں کہا کہ ماں مسلمان ہو، با وضو ہو کر جائے نماز پر بیٹھ کر تسبیح کرنے میں مصروف ہو ،قرآن کا ابتدائی قاعدہ...

Aristotle’s Virtue of Justice as an Ethical Solution to Political Corruption: Analysis and Reflection

This paper attempts to discuss Aristotle’s concept of justice as an ethical solution to political corruption. The goal of this paper is to present corruption as a form of injustice that deprives the majority from a common good. This paper is very important because it provides ethical solution to grand corruption whereby unscrupulous individuals divert funds meant for development of the entire society into private hands. Due to grand corruption the poor masses are deprived of quality basic needs. The paper focuses on corruption as an immoral act through the lens of Aristotle’s ethical and political insights. The virtue of justice in Aristotle’s ethical and political works are spelled out. The methodology used in this paper is analytical and applied. It is analytical because it analyses Aristotle’s understanding of virtue of justice in his moral theory especially in his book entitled Nicomachean Ethics and justice in his political theory. Finally, the paper makes subsequent applications of Aristotle’s virtue of justice in the realm of ethical solutions to the problem of corruption.

An Enhanced Set of Heuristics for Evaluating Gestural Operations in News Media Mobile Applications

In the last two years of using mobile apps, world today expanded its readership as much as it did in the first 29 years of its existence. Accessing the usability issues allows improving its users more. For this, one trendy method for detecting usability evaluation is heuristic evaluation. In this traditional usability evaluation method, evaluators use a set of usability heuristic as a guide or set of principles. A Standard set of heuristic provided by Nielsen is good but it is not sufficient to fulfill the usability issue of mobile applications in context of domain (specifically for News Applications). Especially, related to the gestures which are more common in touch screen mobiles. Therefore, the objective of this study is to create new/Modified set of heuristic for News mobile applications to find out the usability issues. To do so, we reviewed previous studies specific to the mobile domain and try to find out the missing factors in these studies. We checked the applicability of different heuristics on mobile applications proposed in previous studies (i.e Nielsen?s and Rodolfo?s) as well as newly suggested heuristics.In this paper, we present a modified list with 14 set of heuristic for Mobile News Media Applications, also some for their gestural operations. Based on this heuristic we conducted evaluation; so, those weaknesses found in this way provide useful hints in making improvement to news applications. Overall, we find out that using the newly suggested set of heuristic found very useful for evaluators to find more usability problems on mobile media news applications efficiently and effectively.
