The contribution of women working in informal sector has been on the agenda of national and international organizations for over two decades, but progress in measuring it has been slow. Collection of data, on the informal sector is an arduous task (in the past the sector has been considered immeasurable) especially for women. The definition of informal sector and its implication of data collection are also relevant. In this study we are concerned with women contribution in family budget. We have calculated the contribution of women in household budget. The typology of work in informal sector varies form region to region. We concluded that women involved in ladies dress- making are comparatively in higher ratio and contributing more. The ladies dress- making is a traditional profession of informally employed women of Bahawalpur. Applying OLS model on primary data from urban and rural areas of Bahawalpur, we have analyzed the determinants of contribution of women in household budget. It is found that married women, women as head of household, having assets, good health status and belonging to nuclear families are contributing more to their household budget. There exists also a positive relationship between the contribution of women and unemployed husbands, presence of infants in the household, the utilization of loan by household, and urban locality. The presence of school-age children, presence of adults (male and female), and husband’s educational status negatively affects the contribution. The determinants of contribution are different for urban and rural areas. It is proposed to intervene by government for education of informal sector women, provision of assets and loan, health facilities by public sector and implementation of minimum wage legislation in informal sector.

حضرت جگر مراد آبادی کاحادثۂ وفات جو ۹ستمبر کی صبح کوگونڈہ میں ستربرس کی عمر میں پیش آیا،اردو شعر وسخن کی دنیا کے لیے اس درجہ المناک ہے کہ اس کی تلخی و شدت عرصہ تک محسوس ہوتی رہے گی۔یہی وجہ ہے کہ اُن کا ماتم ہندووپاک میں جیسا ہمہ گیر ہواہے، اقبالؔ مرحوم کے بعد سے آج تک کسی شاعر کاایسا نہیں ہواتھا۔ اردو شاعری کے دور جدیدنے تغزل کے پانچ عظیم المرتبت مجدد پیدا کیے ہیں: اصغرؔ،حسرتؔ،جگرؔ،فانیؔ اورفراق۔ؔانھوں نے اردو غزل کونیا آہنگ، نیا اسلوب دیا اوراُن تصورات سے اسے پاک وصاف کیاجواب تک روایتی ورثہ کی حیثیت سے چلے آرہے تھے۔اس فہرست میں جگرؔ کانمبر اگرچہ فکر وفن کے اعتبار سے اصغرؔوحسرتؔ کے بعد آتاہے لیکن ہردلعزیزی اورعام مقبولیت میں وہ سب سے بلند اورفائق تھے۔ہرشاعر کاکلام تدریجی ارتقا کی منزلوں سے گزر کرپختگی و پائیداری کے مرتبہ تک پہنچتا ہے جہاں اس کو انفرادیت حاصل ہوتی ہے لیکن بڑے شاعروں کے کلام میں تدیجی ارتقا کی مختلف کڑیوں کامعلوم کرلینا اس قدر آسان نہیں ہوتا جتنا کہ مرحوم کے کلام میں ہے۔المجاز قنطرۃ الحقیقہ کا مقولہ اگر صحیح ہے توحضرت جگرؔ کاکلام اس کی سب سے بڑی روشن دلیل ہے۔یہی وجہ ہے کہ اُن کوشہرت ومقبولیت پہلے عوام میں حاصل ہوئی، پھر طبقۂ خواص میں اُن کے فکر وفن کی عظمت وگیرائی کااعتراف پیداہوا۔اُن کے ابتدائی دور شاعری میں حسن وعشق ِمجازی کے طبعی معاملات اوراُن کے رازونیاز کی حقیقی تصویریں پوری آب وتاب اورعریاں شکل وانداز میں پائی جاتی ہیں،اس لیے ان تصویروں نے حسین ودلکش ترنم کے ساتھ مل کر عوام میں اورخصوصاً نوجوانوں میں ایک قیامت برپاکردی اورہرشخص جگر کے اشعار کا مانا ہوانظر آنے لگا۔لیکن وقت کے امتداد اور شعور وتجربہ کی مختلف آزمائشوں سے گزرنے کے ساتھ مرحوم کے فکر میں حسن کا تصور، مقید سے...

پاکستانی دستور میں حکمرانوں کا تصور استحقاق اسلامی تعلیمات کی روشنی میں

Constitution is the basic code of every state system. There are laws for state administration, discipline and rulers in constitution. There are some privileges for the rulers in the Pakistani constitution. Among the privileges that Pakistani rulers have, laws of exception, protocol and luxury packages or facilities are included. In Pakistani constitution, the rulers also enjoy these privileges and according to the rules and regulation of parliament and senate. Our Constitution does not provide Parliamentarians any specific immunity against criminal actions as has been granted to the President as well as the Prime Minster. The only specific protection enjoyed by a Minister/Prime Minister is for official actions under powers of their office. The right of lessen or amendment in Sharīʻah penalty of the President of Pakistan is not right according to the Islamic Sharīʻah. But he can utilize honorary rights in criminological penalty. The Governor has the authority to dissolve the Provincial Assembly under certain circumstances during the emergency situation. If the ruler uses the option of freedom of opinion with deception, dishonesty and contempt of court then he should also be answerable. Sometimes rulers misuse their privileges and even exceed their powers. Discretionary options of the rulers must be under public interests. Such privilege rules must be amended which reflect inequality between rulers and masses. It is necessary to put the honorary rights of rulers under logic and there must be a law of behold for the unlawful usage of authority, so that the bad utilization of these laws can be prevented. Such reserved rights must be amended which enhance the concept of un-equity between the rulers and public. For the better administration harmony among the public and administration is necessary. In this research paper we will analyze the concept and importance of privileges mentioned in the Constitution of Pakistan in the light of Islamic teachings.

Biomineralization of Cadusafos in Agricultural Soils As Influenced by Co-Occurring Antimicrobial Agents

Cadusafos is a soil-applied pesticide presented as effective against a broad spectrum of nematodes and soil insects on several important crops worldwide. With respect to its toxicity, it is classified as a pesticide of Class I (highly hazardous to human health) and is regarded as ‘dangerous to the environment’ by the regulatory departments. Its presence in the terrestrial environment may pose serious health risks. Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are the antimicrobial agents that are routinely used in a large number of contemporary consumer and healthcare products. A major fraction of TCS and TCC is washed down the drain after use, and ends up in agricultural soils by the application of biosolids and untreated and partially-treated wastewater. Since TCS and TCC are biocides that are designed to kill microorganisms, their co-occurrence with cadusafos may prolong the persistence of cadusafos in terrestrial environment and cause serious health problems. While living in the soil, the co-existing pesticide and the antimicrobial agents remain in close interaction with the soil constituents, and thus, the soil physicochemical properties may be of vital importance for determining the persistence of the pesticide in the terrestrial environment. Hence, a series of experiments was conducted by using three agricultural soils of different physicochemical properties to study the effect of TCS and TCC on the microbial activity by spiking with biodegradation of 14 14 C-glucose, and on C-cadusafos in adapted (the soil which was previously exposed to cadusafos) and unadapted (the natural soil without previous exposure to cadusafos) agricultural soils. The soils were spiked with 14C-glucose or 14C-cadusafos @ 5 μg/g and TCS @ 30, 90, 270 μg/g or TCC @ 50, 150 and 450 μg/g soil in different experiments. The soils were maintained at 48 and 65% of maximum water holding capacity (MWHC) and were incubated at 28 ± 1 oC up to 28 or 77 days in different experiments. The results revealed a similarity in pattern of biomineralization of 14 C-cadusafos in all the three tested soils. The moisture levels had little effect on biomineralization of well as of 14 14 14 C-glucose as C-cadusafos while soils differed significantly in their potential to degrade C-cadusafos, most likely due to variation in their physicochemical properties. Kinetic analysis revealed that biomineralization of 14 C-cadusafos followed a first order kinetics during the incubation time of the study. Moreover, biomineralization of 14 C-cadusafos was negatively affected by the antimicrobial agents, TCS and TCC, but with different degree of efficacy. The effect of TCS was highly significant and concentration dependent whereas, a very weak and negligible effect of TCC was recorded in the three soils. The TCS application at its highest level (270 μg/g) reduced biomineralization of 14C-glucose in the absence or presence of D-glucose up to 53.6 and 50.1%, respectively. The same dose of TCS caused reduction in 14C-cadusafos biomineralization by 58.4 and 57.4% in the unadapted (fresh) and adapted (conditioned with 14C-cadusafos) soils, respectively. A strong negative correlation was identified between some physicochemical properties (pH and organic matter) and the effect of TCS on biomineralization of 14 C-glucose or 14 C- cadusafos. These findings indicate a strong role of antimicrobial agents, like TCS, in prolonging the persistence of xenobiotics such as cadusafos. This may imply that in addition to investigating the biomineralization of pesticides in soil environment, the continual loading of antimicrobial agents must also be given the due attention. The unrestricted use of the carriers of antimicrobial agents, like biosolids and untreated wastewater, should be avoided for keeping the terrestrial environment safe and healthy. In this connection, if necessary, the laws may also be enacted for the restricted
