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.

بہلول کافی دنوں سے حالتِ سفر میں تھا۔ میں بھی اُس کے ساتھ قدم سے قدم ملا کر چلنے کی کوشش میں گرمی کے تشدد اور صحرائی ہوائوں کے رقص سے بے حال تھا۔ جب سے بہلول کو پتہ چلا تھا ۔۔۔ کہ مجھے نثری نظم سے عشق ہے وہ تب سے مجھے گھنجلک باتیں نثری نظم کے انداز میں بڑی روانی اور آسانی سے سمجھانے لگا تھا۔ ایک دن جب ہم شام کے صحن میں لیٹے ہوئے ۔۔۔ صحرائی گرم ہوائوں میں آرام کرنے(رات بسر) کا سوچ رہے تھے۔ کہ نہ جانے کیسے ۔۔۔ اُس کی سوچوں میں نثری نظم اُتر آئی۔ وہ بولا۔۔۔نثری نظم خوب صورت اور دل آویز قدیم صنف ہے۔
یہ عہد الست سے موجودہ دور کے نشیب و فراز تک ، مزاجِ شفق کی دلیلوں کو فکری اساس کی وادیوں میں پروان چڑھانے میں لگی رہی ۔ یہ کٹھور اور سنگدل لمحوں کی طرف سے دی جانے والی اذیت سے نڈھال ضرور رہی، لیکن مری نہیں۔ اس کی وسعت...

Teaching Challenges Using the Zoom Application That Focuses on Student Concentration in Online Classrooms

The fast advancement in information technology stimulates educational creativity as well. Learning and training practices are often not only carried sout in the traditional manner, but also with the usage of a multitude of learning technologies options. The zoom program is one of the learning resources used in online courses. Zoom was an application developed during the Covid-19 timeframe to address the limitations between educators and students, especially in terms of space and time. With E-learning, educators and students are not limited to one dimension of time and space, and learning will run and neglect both. Learning by simulated children's attention, on the other hand, causes disruption in the learning phase. During the learning phase, students must maintain a high level of concentration. The level of concentration of students has a significant impact on the learning process' outcomes. Since attitude and focus have a beneficial association, high focus may often affect a person's attitude in a learning phase in order to produce optimal performance. Many factors may affect a person's attention, one of which is the learning environment. A peaceful atmosphere can undoubtedly improve a person's concentration level, while a silent / noisy environment will exacerbate one's focus during the learning phase.

A Comparative Study of Organizational Commitment in the Punjab University & GIFT University Gujranwala Campuses

Organizational commitment plays a vital role in the progress of any organization. The researcher considered University of the Punjab and Gujranwala Institute of Future Technology University Gujranwala campuses as research centers and it includes how salary/financial benefits, job environment and opportunities for promotion are components of Organizational Commitment. The accumulated results may be beneficial and helpful for future planners. The sample consisted of 153 employees working in Punjab University and Gujranwala Institute of Future Technology (GIFT) University Gujranwala Campuses. Questionnaire comprises 15 questions was prepared. The researcher adopted the questionnaire. Nature of the study was descriptive. Organizational commitment has a tremendous impact on Organizational performance. According to this study, the employees of Gujranwala Institute of Future Technology University are more satisfied with Pay, recognition of their work, supervision received, Opportunity for promotion and working environment. The employees of The Punjab University Gujranwala Campus are found more satisfied as compared to employees in Gujranwala Institute of Future Technology University in relation to teaching load, job security and flexibility in working hours. From the above discussion we can say that, if we want to raise the Organizational commitment level from the employees, the organization weather Government or Private should give job security. So that he/she could not feel his/her future insecure.
