This study aimed to develop a simple, fast, specific, and eco-friendly and portable electrochemical nano biosensor for the detection of model targeted pathogenic bacteria from water. In this work, first we synthesized silver, gold, and iron oxide nanoparticles at pH, 5.2, 5.7, and 11.6 respectively. These all-metal colloidal homogenous nanoparticles are stabilized for more than two months at ambient temperature by using one-pot synthesis wet chemical and precipitation method. After synthesized these nanoparticles are characterized by different analytical techniques and finally these nanoparticles are deposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) electrode to developed two types of GCE modified electrochemical nano biosensors used for the detection of different strains of bacteria like Escherichia coli 25922 and Escherichia coli K12 from water by Voltammetry (Biopotentiostate) equipment at Cyclic voltammetry mode(CV).The cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique was used to measure the signals current of pathogenic bacteria as a function of applying potential. The developed biosensors were more sensitive, selective having lower limit of detection (LOD) of targeted pathogenic bacteria. In second step we characterized the nanoparticles by various characterization techniques to confirm the synthesized metal (gold, silver and iron) nanoparticles including, UV–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and zeta potential analysis (ZPA). UV-Vis, spectroscopy is the initial characterization technique to confirm the formation and stability of silver, gold & iron metal oxide nanoparticles and their surface plasmon resonance band (SPR) appeared at 392 nm, 528 nm, and 388 nm, respectively. TEM analysis confirmed the size and shape of the particles and the size of silver, gold, and iron oxide metal nanoparticles were 35, 25 and 18 nm in diameters respectively. The most of particles were spherical confirmed by TEM technique and particles having an excellent electrocatalytic application to detect microorganisms from water. EDS spectra provided information about the elemental analysis of silver, gold, and iron element as 43,79, and 62 % respectively presented in the synthesized silver, gold, and iron oxide nanoparticles. Zeta potential provided confirmed the surface charge of silver, gold, and iron oxide nanoparticles particles bearing a net negative (-ve) charge after being capped by L-cysteine molecules and sodium citrate used as a reducing/capping agent. Finally, this biosensor GCE modified with gold and iron nanoparticles is an innovative detection technique that is used to check the validity of the developed biosensor were apply for the rapid detection of targeted and non-targeted bacteria from real water samples. The signals current was linearly increasing while increasing the concentration of E. coli from 101 to 105 CFU/mL with the linear correlation of (r2 = 0.879) and (r2 = 0.875) of iron and gold nanoparticles-based modified biosensors. The proposed electrochemical biosensor detects the E. coli in a lower concentration of 101 CFU/mL and with the maximum range of 105 CFU/mL. Moreover, the electrochemical detection techniques offer rapid quantification at a very low cost and miniaturization of an instrument. The obtained results of this study demonstrate the first step for a portable biosensor for the routine monitoring of pathogenic bacteria from water and food. Hence, the biosensor was highly selective in detecting E. coli 25922 and E. coli K12 from water samples. In this work the developed potable biosensor modified nanoparticles are less time consuming and easily constructed methods used for onsite and also for lab scale.

بھٹو کی پھانسی پر عوام کے نام

 

فیض احمد فیض کا شہید ذوالفقار علی بھٹو کی پھانسی پر عوام کے نام

کبھی تو سوچنا یہ تم نے کیا کیا لوگو

یہ کس کو تم نے سرِ دار کھو دیا لوگو

ہوائے بغض و خباثت چلی تو اپنے ساتھ

اڑا کے لے گئی انصاف کی قبا اپنے ساتھ

دیا تھا صبح ِ مسرت نے اک چراغ ہمیں

اسی کو تم نے سرِ شا کھو دیا لوگو

سلا دیا جسے زنداں میں تم نے موت کی نیند

جگائے گی اسے حالات کی صدا لوگو

 

Muslim-Christian Relations in the Era of Prophet Muhammad: Review of Najrān Delegation’s Case in Modern Context

Muslim–Christian relations are as mature as Islamic history itself. Historical evidences state the first interaction of Muslims and Christians occurred in 5th year after nabuwwah (615 AD) when Muslims migrated to Ḥabshah (Abyssinia) and second contact was established after immigration of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to Madinah. After getting socio-political stability in 8th hijrī (629 AD), Muhammad (PBUH) sent letters and ambassadors to different statesmen and religious leaders to spread the Islamic Mission and Message globally. One letter was also sent to the chief Bishop of Najrān. In response, the chief Bishop of Najrān accepted the invitation and personally came to meet the Prophet (PBUH) with his reputed delegation. The beloved Messenger (PBUH) warmly welcomed this delegation. As a result, the peace agreement was reached after some theological debate and discussion. Later on, throughout history, the relations between Muslims and Christians have been in situation of up and down. It’s also a fact that over the centuries, the Muslims-Christians relations had sometimes been one of enmity, sometimes one of rivalry, competition, and encounter. In spite of it, the Najrān’s delegation case has a historical significance in Muslim-Christian relations in the literature of both religions. Therefore, in this study efforts were made to explore the event of Najrān delegation as theological foundations for Muslim-Christian relations in times of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and how can we get benefit from it in modern era. Moreover, this study perceives that the case of Najrān delegation was the first practical interaction between Muslims and Christians of that age. Hence, we could get benefit from it with its modern applications and interpretations. The analytical, comparative and historical approaches have been adopted in this study with qualitative paradigm. I compared and analysed the case in Islamic and Christian context and then gave recommendation for its application.

A Linguistic Study of The Psychological Aspects of Aphasia

A Linguistic Study of The Psychological Aspects of Aphasia This is a cross disciplinary study as it draws upon ideas from neurology, linguistics, developmental psychology and philosophy and examines the effects of emotional security on the process of language recovery after aphasia. Language recovery after aphasia is generally studied by using the standardized terminologies from the domains of first language acquisition and second language learning. This orients and controls the ways in which researchers look into this phenomenon ignoring its own uniqueness. Overemphasis on concepts such as neural plasticity and critical period has resulted in neglecting the emotional and psychological aspects of the process. The neurological and linguistic debates over aphasia support the existence of a critical period till which the human brain can retain its plasticity. This study challenges these ideas by discovering the positive effects of emotional stability and security on language recovery of an aphasic even when s/he had crossed the so-called critical period. The study covers one year of the linguistic recovery process of the research participant. The data collection methods included audio recordings of the research participant’s speech, diary notes about her linguistic performance and discussions with her physician about the same. The insights drawn in the end strongly support the positive effects of emotional security on language recovery after aphasia. The study concludes with grounded theory that emerges from the data. The researcher has named it as her theory of emotionicology. This theory is based on the serendipitous discovery that not only initiation of positive emotions help in language recovery but also inclusion of the negative emotion, that is, aggression in controlled and mild forms (at advanced stages of recovery) can be used for further fuelling the speech production process. It is, however, suggested that aggression has to be employed with caution and should be applied only by a trained caregiver in brief episodes (of say 10-15 seconds) when the aphasic is emotionally and physically secure. This study also stresses that for the betterment of the aphasic, the caregiver has to acquire emotional competence as a skill. The understanding in the end is purely subjective, and situated. Thus, no generalization claims follow.
