The present study was designed to evaluate the protective/ameliorative ability of different adsorbing agents like bentonite clay (BC), distillery sludge (DS) and milk thistle (MT) against ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) induced toxicopathological, serum biochemical, immunological, antioxidant and tissue residual alterations in broilers. For this purpose, a series of experiments were conducted in which OTA was used at the rates of 0.15, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg feed while different adsorbing agents were used at the rates of 5, 10 and 20 g/kg (Experiment 1-3). However, AFB1 was used at the rates of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.6 mg/kg feed while different adsorbing agents were used at the rates of 5 and 10 g/kg feed (Experiment 4-6). The parameters studied were toxicopathological parameters (clinical signs and behavioral parameters, mortality, FCR, body weight gain, relative organ weights of liver, kidney, spleen, bursa of Fabricius and thymus, gross lesions and its scoring and histopathological studies of liver, kidney, bursa of Fabricius and thymus, serum biochemical parameters (ALT, Urea, Creatinine, total protein, albumin and globulin), immunological parameters (antibody response to sheep RBCs, lymphoproliferative response to PHA-P and phagocytic index determined by carbon clearance assay), total antioxidant capacity of birds in liver, kidney, muscles and plasma) and tissue residue analysis in liver. Results of these experiments showed that feeding BC with OTA did not cause any amelioration in OTA induced alterations yet some improvement of these parameters was observed when compared with individual OTA groups however, feeding 5 and 10 g/kg DS ameliorated OTA induced alterations at 0.15 and 0.3 mg/kg OTA levels while partial amelioration was observed by DS at 1 mg/kg OTA level. Feeding 5 g/kg MT showed amelioration at 0.15 mg/kg OTA only while 10 and 20 g/kg MT showed ameliorations at all levels of OTA used. Regarding aflatoxicosis feeding 5 and 10 g/kg BC ameliorated 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg AFB1 induced deleterious effects while partial amelioration was observed when these BC levels were fed alone with 0.6 mg/kg AFB1. Feeding 5 and 10 g/kg DS caused amelioration at 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg AFB1 while partial amelioration was observed when 0.6 mg/kg AFB1 was used however, feeding 5 g/kg MT caused amelioration at 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg AFB1 while 10 g/kg MT showed amelioration at all levels of AFB1used.

فرنچ ایم۔ پیری

فرنچ ایم ، پیری

            مشہور ترک دوست فرنچ ایم، پیری لوطی، کی ۷۳ سال کی عمر میں موت کا تمام دنیا کو علم ہوچکا ہے، لیکن اس سے بہت کم لوگ واقف ہوں گے کہ اس کے مکان میں جاپانی، چینی اور ترکی وضع کے کمروں کے علاوہ ایک مسجد بھی تھی۔ (دسمبر ۱۹۲۳ء)

 

Adultery, the Ground for Dissolution of Christian Marriage in Pakistan: Intersectional Constraint to Christian Women in Pakistan

Divorce from a distressful and unhappy marital alliance implies emancipation from perpetual pain, abuse, agony and violence but the social stigma attached to a divorced woman casts its shadow for life in the patriarchal and paternalistic socio-cultural settings in Pakistan. Seeking a judicial redress for dissolution of marriage is a legal right that needs to be available equally to both men and women. However, Christian married couples who apply for a divorce, are left with no options except to invoke the charge of adultery under Christian Divorce Act 1869. Proving adultery as a ground for dissolution of marriage stands as an impediment entailing character assassination of the accused and narrows the application of divorce on other grounds, such as domestic violence, abandonment by husbands and cruelty. The clergy representing Christian community fully supports the ground of adultery for dissolution of Christian marriage and vehemently opposes any position that calls for inclusion of nofault divorce. _________

A Learner Model for Localized and Adaptable E-Learning

The advancement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has provided new opportunities in teaching and learning in the form of e-learning. Besides, the availability of opportunities, challenges are also coming in its way. The development of such models in distance learning environment of a developing country like Pakistan is a real challenge. These challenges require specialized content, accommodating profiles of local learners, ups and down of available ICT infrastructure and socio cultural norms. The adaptability in e-learning may be used to address many of these challenges and issues. The concept of e-learning with adaptable features for local learners is the central component of the research reported in this study. The thesis presents a learner model for adaptable e-learning in compliance with the International standards and also addresses localized parameters. The thesis explores important components of adaptable e-learning in the light of theoretical and practical approaches. It also highlights the issues of e-learning in developing countries especially Pakistan. A survey of students was conducted to identify local learning conditions and learner’s profiles, preferences and their individual learning styles. These parameters were considered for the design, development, and delivery of adaptable e-learning model. The conceptual framework highlights the layered model of adaptable e-learning with knowledge level of learners as the foundation layer. The foundation layer is derived from the four components of learner model of adaptable e-learning i.e. domain, program pedagogy, student model and technology interface. The model has been implemented on a Computer Science course offered at Post Graduate Diploma level of Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU), Islamabad, Pakistan. The results reveal that adaptable e-learning has improved the knowledge level of local learners. It has also helped to reduce the absent rates. The feedback survey has shown confidence of local learners on adaptable e-learning approach. It has been validated as technology acceptance model by the local learners.
