Current research project was conducted to study the urinary excretion of deferoxamine, ferrioxamine, iron and zinc in β-thalassemia population. Oxidative stress and antioxidant status was also measured in β-thalassemic patients under indigenous conditions. Blood specimens were collected from both healthy and thalassemic subjects of age less than 15 years without drug administration. Hematological (red blood cells, hemoglobin, MCH, MCV, MCHC, plt, hct, RDW, eiosinophils, monocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes) and biochemical parameters (triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL, ALT, AST, urea, total protein, albumin, globulin and creatinine) were determined in both healthy and thalassemic populations to check the health status. Oxidant and antioxidant status was studied with the help of spectrophotometer and HPLC. Thalassemic patients were observed in state at higher level of oxidative stress because free iron in body acts as free radical to enhance the oxidative stress. Antioxidants are (either enzymatic or non enzymatic) substances in body which reacts with these free radicals to stop chain reaction. So, the levels of antioxidant vitamins (E, C and β-carotene) were significantly decreased in β- thalassemic patients. Urine samples were collected at 0, 6, 8, 12, 24 h from β-thalassemic patient after 500 mg subcutaneous infusion of deferoxamine. Concentration of deferoxamine and ferrioxamine was determined with the help of HPLC highest concentration of DFO and FO was recorded in urine samples collectes at 6 th hour. % dose of DFO and FO excreted (3 and 2.97 percent) in β-thalassemic patients within twenty four hours. While the concentration of iron and zinc was determined with the help of AAS and cumulative amount excreted of zinc and iron after 24 hours were 1.57 ± 0.06 mg and 30.47 ± 1.47 respectively in thalassemic patients indicating enhanced excretion of zinc. This study would help in clinical investigations and to design better therapeutic protocols under indigenous conditions.

طوطے تے گالڑ دی دوستی

اک واری دی گل اے کہ اک جنگل وچ اک طوطا رہندا سی۔ طوطا بہت خوش سی کہ اوس نوں جنگل وچوں کھاون لئی وافر پھل مل جاندے نیں۔ اوہ ایہناں نوں کھاندا تے جنگل دی سیر کردا۔ اک دن اوہ امرود دے درخت اتے بیٹھا امرود کھا رہیا سی کہ اک گالڑ وی اوس درخت اتے چڑھ آندا اے۔ پہلاں اک دوجے دے یار بن جاندے نیں۔ طوطا گالڑ نوں امرود کھواوندا اے تے اپنے گھر آون دی دعوت دیندا اے۔ ایس توں بعد طوطا تے گالڑ اپنے اپنے گھر آ جاندے نیں۔

کئی دناں توں بعد اک دن ہلکے ہلکے بدل آئے ہوئے سن۔ ٹھنڈی ہوا چل رہی سی۔ گالڑ گھر وچ ویہلا سی۔ اوس دے من وچ خیال آیا کہ کیوں نہ اج طوطے دے گھر پھیرا پایا جاوے۔ ایس خیال دے آوندیاں ای اوہ تیار ہو کے طوطے دے گھر اپڑ جاندا اے۔ طوطا اوہنوں اپنے گھر ویکھ کے بہت خوش ہوندا اے تے جی آیاں نوں آکھدا اے۔ جنگل وچوں ہر طرح دے پھل اکٹھا کر کے اوہدی مہمان نوازی کر دا اے۔ گالڑ سب کجھ کھا کے طوطے کولوں گھر واپسی دی اجازت لیندا اے۔ واپسی تے گالڑ طوطے نوں اپنے گھر آون دی دعوت دیندا اے۔ جو طوطا قبول کر لیندا اے۔

کجھ دناں بعد طوطا گالڑ دے گھر جاون دا پروگرام بناندا اے۔ اوہ تیار ہو کے اوہدے گھر جاندا اے۔ اوہدا گھر اک سکی ٹاہلی اتے ہوندا اے۔ گالڑ طوطے نوں خوش آمدید آکھدا اے تے خوشی دا اظہار کردا اے۔ گالڑ کدی ٹاہلی دے اپر چڑھدا اے تے کدی تھلے اتر دا اے۔ طوطا اوہدا ایہہ عمل ویکھ کے ڈاڈا حیران ہوندا اے۔ جدوں بہت وقت لنگھ گیا تاں طوطے نے سوچیا کہ...

توظيف وسائل الاتصال الحديثة في تعليم اللغة العربية

The Arabic language is the language of the Holy Quran, which has become an immortal language because of the immortality of the Holy Quran as it says: "Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian." It is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, especially since the language is the means of communication among the peoples of the world. Communication and technological techniques in learning and teaching the Arabic language taking into account the elements of the educational process (student, teacher and curriculum), according to the requirements of the age, and the development of the mechanisms of teaching the Arabic language with modern technologies that keep up with the times and developments. The aim of the research is to explain the impact of modern means of communication on the teaching of the Arabic language according to several axes: definition of the language, definition of the language in Arabic and the strategy of its publication, the definition of the modern means of communication and their types in the teaching of the Arabic language. The analytical approach will be used in this study. The researcher concluded at the end of this study to prove that the Arabic language faces many challenges in light of the great progress of the modern means of communication and technical progress; and that there are many obstacles in the use of educational technology in the teaching of the Arabic language, which prevents the achievement of the objectives of education. Solutions to this problem are, thus, suggested so as to improve the Arabic language and maintain its position among the languages of the world.

Acceptance and Use of Information Technology by Senior Executives

It is becoming increasingly imperative for managers to track the process that ultimately leads to the adoption and effective use of new technology. The study explores an extension of technology adoption model (TAM) for senior executives. The TAM is modified with additional constructs of Perceived Enjoyment (PE), Perceived Risk (PR) and Self-Efficacy (SEf.). An addition of Cultural Influence (CI) and Social Influence (SI) is also being made as a direct determinant of Behavioral Intention (BI). The study is empirically validated using a field survey through a questionnaire. Employing a sample of 431 senior executives it develops and tests a modified TAM within the Pakistani culture. Regression as well as Partial Least Square (pls) is used for data analysis. Regression analysis is done using SPSS version 12.0 while pls analysis is done using Visual Parital Least Square (VPLS) version 1.04. The results indicate that the modified TAM works well. The findings are important because they are different and distinct from Western cultures. The modified TAM shows that dependent variables attitude toward using computer has explained 63% variance while BI has explained 54% variance. Key Words: Senior Executives and Information Technology, Information Technology acceptance, Information Technology Use, Technology Acceptance Model, Culture and Information Technology, Information Technology and Social Influence, Perceived Enjoyment, Perceived Risk, Self-Efficacy, Information System, Attitude toward technology.
