This research aims to investigate the dispersion among gross pay of public servants and examine the causes, rationale and effects of such disparity. In this regards, the purpose of this study was two-fold. First, to find out dispersion in gross pay of the employees serving in the same Basic Pay Scales (BPS) in the federal government of Pakistan and the causes of such disparity. Second, to investigate the impact of perceived pay satisfaction on employees’ Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). To focus and operationalize the purposes of this study, in first phase actual pay slips were collected to find gross pay dispersion. Narrative data was collected from 40 participants through semi-structured interviews by employing key respondents approach to find the causes of such dispersion. The data analysis reveal substantial dispersion in gross pay received by equally placed (in the same BPS) employees of the federal government of Pakistan. In the second phase, a conceptual model was developed linking pay satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior with motivation, job satisfaction and organizational commitment as mediating variables. The model was tested using data collected from 619 respondents of eight public sector organizations through questionnaire survey. The results reveal that pay satisfaction has positive significant impact on OCB. Furthermore, motivation, job satisfaction and organizational commitment mediated the relationship between pay satisfaction and OCB. The results indicate that pay disparity contributes towards dissatisfaction of the federal government employees and vice versa; while pay satisfaction significantly affects OCB, motivation, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The study suggests that a harmonized pay structure improves OCB, motivation, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment and enhances organizational performances.

108. Al-Kawthar/The Abundance

I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah

The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

108:01
a. O The Prophet!
b. Surely WE have granted you unceasing abundance.

108:02
a. So stand in Salat/Prayers for your Rabb - The Lord with devotion and dedication, and
b. make sacrifice for HIM in gratitude.

108:03
a. Indeed, your opponent who satirizes you and detests you – he has been cut off from all that is good and posterity.

بیوی کے نفقے کاقضیہ: شرعی اور عصری (پاکستانی) قوانین کے تناظر میں ایک علمی جائزہ

In Islamic point of view, the family is an institution that starts from the legal bond of marriage. The marriage is a contract that confirms the mutual rights of husband and wife. Including the other rights, one is the provision of maintenance to wife. The wife having leaving  her family and making a life time compromise to live with her husband reserves the right to be exempted from all kind of financial obligations. In Islamic family system, the husband is responsible both in legal and moral angles, to support his wife and provide the maintenance according to his financial status. Likewise, the wife has the right to demand the provision of maintenance from her husband. In time of none Provision, she can take this right through court. The wife reserves this right only if she is willing to live with her husband and does not disobey her husband’s reasonable orders. If it is so, then the stand for provision of maintenance shall be treated as invalid. In this paper, the matter of maintenance provision and its related problems have been discussed in contrast with the Pakistan family Laws which will provide a profound knowledge to the readers.

Pharmacognostic Standardardization and Bioinspired Synthesis, Characterization and Application of Gold / Silver Nanoparticles of Euphorbia Wallichii Hook.

In the current study Euphorbia wallichii was evaluated through pharmacognostic and phytochemical studies. Euphorbia wallichii was standardized pharmacognostically, revealed hypostomatic nature with anisocytic and paracytic stomata.Vein islet vein termination number stomatal index and palisade ratio were determined as leaf surface constants. Powder drug of shoot and rhizome revealed various structures. The phytochemical evaluation showed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, reducing sugars, phenols, proteins, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and phytosterols. Moreover, Green approach was employed to synthesize metallic nanoparticles, using phyto-organic molecules as reducing, capping and stabilizing agents. Both the shoot extract (SE) and rhizome extract (RE) were capable for the reduction of Ag+ (in AgNO3 solution) and Au+3 (in HAuCl4 solution) and capping the respective metals, leads to the synthesis and stabilization of AgNPs and AuNPs respectively. Both AgNPs and AuNPs were characterized by Uv_Vis spectrophotometer showing maximum absorption in the range of 400 to 500 nm and 500 to 600 nm respectively. SEM revealed spherical morphology and diversity in size distribution of both SE and RE mediated AgNPs and AuNPs. XRD pattern confirm crystalline nature with fcc geometry. FTIR confirmed functional groups associated with the reduction of Ag+ and Au+3 and capping the synthesized nanoparticles. Elemental mapping of both AgNPs and AuNPs was sketched through EDX spectroscopes, which confirm the presence of elemental Au and Ag at different KeV energy levels. Acute toxicity assay validate that SE is more toxic than RE to experimental animals causing mortality at 1500mg/kg bw and 2000mg/kg bw respectively. Analgesic activity authenticates dose and time dependant analgesia, where NPs were more potent than their respective extracts alones. Generally, both SE and RE mediated AgNPs produced significant analgesia at 30 min of drug administration while SE and RE mediated AuNPs were more pronounced at 60 and 90 min of drugs administration. Muscle relaxant potential of SE, RE and their mediated AuNPs and AgNPs were also dose dependant. Nanoparticles were observed to be comparatively more efficient than the extracts alone. Generally, RE and RE mediated AgNPs and AuNPs exhibited more spasmolytic activity than SE and SE mediated AgNPs and AuNPs respectively. Lethal dose for 50% population (LD50) against Aedes egypti larvae for SE and Se mediated AgNPs and AuNPs were 8.23 µg/ml, 6.99 µg/ml and 11.08 µg/ml while for RE and RE mediated AgNPs and AuNPs were 34.03 µg/ml, 8.25 µg/ml and 14.33µg/ml respectively.Cytotoxicity against the shrimp’s larvae was dependent on dose concentration. The lethal dose of SE, SE mediated AgNPs and AuNPs for 50% (LD50) mortality of shrimp’s larvae population was15.53 µg/ml, 7.01 µg/ml and 6.60 µg/ml respectively. RE, RE mediated AgNPs and AuNPs 18 produced mortality of shrimp’s population with LD50 values of 24.17 µg/ml, 23.25 µg/ml and 12.51µg/ml respectively. Extract from both parts and their mediated gold and silver nanoparticles exhibited a high degree of antioxidant under different times (30, 60 and 90 Min) of incubation. The reduction of DPPH in optical density at 517 nm was dependent on both dose concentration and time of incubation. Both SE, RE and their derived AgNPs and AuNPs produced promising bactericidal effect against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, B. pumilus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsella pneumoniae. Different bacterial strains showed variable response to various experimental treatments, where AgNPs of both SE and SE were more pronounced than AuNPs and extracts alone. Antifungal efficacy was tested against Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, A. paraciticus, Fusarium solani and A. niger. Fusarium solani was comparatively more resistant where A. niger was the most susceptible fungus amongst the used strains in the current experiment. Promastigotes of Leishmania tropica respond to SE, SE mediated AgNPs and AuNPs with LD50s as 34.73 µg/ml, 13.86 µg/ml and 21.3 µg/ml respectively, while RE, RE mediated AgNPs and AuNPs were potent against the L. tropica with LD50s as 69.73 µg/ml, 27.30 µg/ml and 41.88 µg/ml respectively. Lemna minor bioassay validate that RE was more phytotoxic than SE and AuNPs were more toxic than AgNPs.
