The strong economy and stabilized politics of US and geostrategic location and independent foreign policy of Iran have made them dominate powers in world politics. Unfortunately, their regional contradictory policies have been affectingPakistan badly since Pakistan has been linked with both of them one way or the other. Most importantly, the post-Islamic Revolution period brought serious ambiguities in Pak-Iran-US triangle since Pakistan became a strategic partner of US in Afghanistan against Soviet intervention whereas Iran declared US a Great Devil. Meanwhile, the incident of siege of Makkah and Pakistan’s inclination towards Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) further caused disturbance in Pak-Iran relations since Iran consider the GCC a council against its ideology. The thesis highlights the involvement of US in the affair of South Asia and Iran and its direct effects on Pakistan after the Islamic Revolution of Iran. It is believed that terrorism, extremism and nuclearization pace in South Asia have created enough excuse for US to butt in the internal politics of South Asia where Pakistan has been witnessed in siding the policies of US whose impacts were directly felt on Pak-Iran relations. The thesis also highlights the questions why has Pakistan been unable to maintain its neutrality over either the Iran-US political conflict or Iran-Saudi ideological war. It is believed that the economic compulsion and destabilized politics of Pakistan led Pakistan to be indecisive over its foreign policies via-a-vis Iran. However, it ought to be noted that the geo-strategic convergence, identical ideology and regional common issues of Pakistan and Iran are certain areas of convergence which do not only bridge the political gap between Pakistan and Iran, they also greatly benefit Pakistan economically and strengthen its national security. Moreover, via Iran, Pakistan can suffice its energy requirement; suppress the extremism and insurgency in Balochistan since these are the common issues of both countries. More importantly, the successful materialization of Gwadar Port and full-fledged operation of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) are mainly depended upon the regional policies of Iran. Therefore, keeping the whole VI above factors, while formulating its regional and international policies, Pakistan has to take a great care of Iran, without harming the national interests of the US, Iran and Saudi Arabia. But, the historical economic dependency towards US and political instability of Pakistan made it extremely tough for Pakistan to create a balanced relationship between US, Iran and Saudi Arabia. So, thesis would give a way forward to Pakistan to escape from the direct conflict of US and Iran and maintain a balanced relationship between Iran and US. The thesis is qualitative in nature where the author has investigated and analyzed certain facts, ambiguities and major issues of US-Iran-Saudi triangle and their implications on the region generally and on Pakistan specifically. The involvement of Pakistan in the proxy war of US in 1980s, becoming the frontline state in war against terror, inclination towards Saudi Arabia after Islamic Revolution, entertaining US regional interests, no doubt, earned dollars for Pakistan, but, they badly enhanced the economic dependency of Pakistan, promoted sectarian violence in Pakistan, doubled terrorist activities in the region and more importantly, created ways for regional and international powers to intervene in the internal politics of Pakistan.

مو لانا محمد سلمان خاں بھوپالی ندوی

مولانا محمد سلمان خاں بھوپالی ندوی مرحوم
ندوۃ العلما کے ایک اور لایق فرزند اور مولانا محمد عمران خاں بھوپالی ندوی مرحوم کے برادر خورد جناب مولانا محمد سلمان خاں ندوی مرحوم کی وفات حسرت آیات کی خبر بہت تاخیر سے ان کے صاحبزادے مولوی حافظ کلیم خاں ندوی کے ایک خط سے ملی، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔ وہ دارالعلوم تاج المساجد کے سابق مہتمم تھے، لیکن ان کا سب سے روشن کارنامہ تاج المساجد کی تعمیر نو ہے۔ مولانا محمد عمران خاں ندوی مرحوم نے جس شاہانہ اولوالعزمی سے اس عظیم الشان مسجد کی تعمیر و تکمیل کا خاکہ بنایا تھا اس کو مولانا سلمان خاں صاحب نے حقیقتاً رنگ و روغن عطا کیا، جن لوگوں نے مسجد کی تعمیر و تکمیل میں ان کی شبانہ روز کی محنت، جانفشانی اور لگن دیکھی ہے وہ جانتے ہیں کہ اس تعمیر میں ان کا لہو تک شامل ہوگیا ایک عالم کی اس معمارانہ اور مہند سانہ مہارت پر بڑے بڑے انجینئر اور آرکی ٹیکٹ بھی حیران رہ گئے، طبعاً وہ نہایت شریف، متین، کم سخن اور مہمان نواز انسان تھے، اپنے تمام بیٹوں کو انھوں نے حفظ قرآن مجید کی دولت سے بہرہ یاب کیا اور سب کوند وہ ہیں تعلیم دلائی، وہ خود بڑے دیندار تھے متعدد بار حج بیت اﷲ کی سعادت حاصل کی۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی نیکیوں اور دینی خدمات کو قبول کرے اور جنت نعیم میں جگہ عطا فرمائے، آمین۔ ( عمیر الصدیق دریابادی ندوی ، اگست ۱۹۹۱ء)

 

IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN SISTEM ZONASI PADA PENERIMAAN PESERTA DIDIK BARU (PPDB) 2019/2020 DI KOTA YOGYAKARTA

The acceptance of new students (PPDB) using the zoning system was first implemented in Yogyakarta in 2018/2019. This zoning system aims to equalize education and improve the quality of education. This research was conducted to find out how the zoning system policy in Yogyakarta city under the auspices of the Yogyakarta City Education Office. This research uses qualitative approach with case study method. The results of the study showed that the zoning system in Yogyakarta has changed from the previous year. In 2019/2020 the zoning system provides a 10% chance of superior seeds, 30% of school zones, 10% of poor learners, 40% of quality pathways, 5% of out-of-school zoning pathways, and 5% of special pathways such as prospective learners whose parents moved from other regions to Yogyakarta. With this zoning system, the whole community has the opportunity to get a good quality education.

Formulation Development, Characterization and Evaluation of Individual Creams Containing Botanical Extracts of Acorus Calamus, Prunus Persica and Saussurea Lappa.

Antioxidant properties of plants extracts is a useful tool in the cosmetic creams used for improvement of various skin parameters. This study was aimed and designed to fabricate and stabilize the topical oil-in-water emulsion (cream) containing extracts of Acorus calamus (Sweet flag), Prunus persica (Peach) and Saussurea lappa (Kuth) with good antioxidant properties. Parallel to this the In-vitro characterization and In-vivo studies on healthy human volunteers were also aimed. Antioxidant activities of three plants extracts were determined and compared by DPPH (2, 2-di-phenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay. Oil-inwater type emulsions of AC (Acorus calamus), PP (Prunus persica) and SL (Saussurea lappa) were developed by using a suitable combination of oily phase and aqueous phase loaded with botanical extracts [4% w/w (2mg/ml) each] and control without any extract. All these emulsions were kept at four different storage conditions i.e. 8 ºC, 25 ºC, 40 ºC and 40 oC + 75% RH for a period of three months to evaluate their stability characteristics as per stability studies guidelines. In-vitro characterization was based on investigation of the changes in the physical stability (color, liquefaction, pH, conductivity, centrifugation, viscosity and rheological parameters) in active formulations (AC, PP and SL) containing their respective extracts and control (C1, C2 and C3). Healthy male human volunteers were employed for In-vivo assessment of AC, PP and SL to evaluate their effects on human skin. Different skin parameters like Melanin, Erythema, Moisture Contents, Elasticity, Sebum and Surface Evaluation of Living Skin (SELS Parameters) related to skin aging were measured at specific time intervals for an investigational period of 12 weeks. The study was single blinded, controlled, split face with 3-groups having 13 volunteers each. Statistical tools of ANOVA test and paired sample t-test were used to evaluate the changes produced. Both the test emulsions i.e control and active formulations showed quite good: stability, pH, conductivity and rheology as desired for 3 months In-vitro study period. During In-vivo studies active formulations AC, PP and SL showed significant changes and respective control (C1, C2 and C3) showed an insignificant decrease in skin melanin, erythema content and sebum while there was an increase in skin hydration. Formulation AC, PP and SL showed significant effects on SELS i.e., SEr (skin roughness), SEsc (skin scaliness), SEsm (skin smoothness), SEw (skin wrinkles) parameters in comparison to control. There was a significant decrease in SELS of SEr (skin roughness), SEsc (skin scaliness), SEw (skin wrinkles) parameters while SEsm (Skin smoothness) showed a significant increase after topical application of AC, PP and SL in comparison to respective control (C1, C2, and C3). It can be concluded that Sweet flag, Peach and Kuth extracts should be used in topical formulations to get these good cosmetically desired results for human skin.
