Hepatocellular Carcinoma is 6th most predominantly existing cancer and second largest contributor to human mortality all over the world. This study is focused on identification of ―Potent Anticancer terpenes‖ from selected experimental plants that may be successfully practicized in cancer chemotherapeutic mainstream. Twenty five plants were taken under consideration for present piece of work. Ethanolic extracts of different parts of these plants were prepared. Standard analytical methods including UV-VIS Spectroscopy, FTIR and GCMS effectively confirmed presence of a large number of secondary metabolites i.e. Flavonoids, Phenols, Terpenoids, Quinine, Saponins and Alkaloids in these extracts. Quenching potential of ethanolic extracts against DPPH free radical fabricated possible antioxidant dynamics of selected experimental plants. During present work we focused on the role of identified plant ―Terpenoids‖ involved in Hepatocurative as well as Hepatoprotective activities. The ethanolic extracts and these identified effective anticancer ―terpenes‖ were used for further experimentation on Hepatocellular Carcinoma in O. cuniculus. In vitro cytotoxic effects of ethanolic extracts of experimental plants and identified ―terpenes‖ (Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, Methyl decanoate, n- Hexadecanoic acid ) were assessed by MTT (3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) assay against Mouse Fibroblasts (3T3) cell lines along with their IC50 calculation. Hepatocellular Carcinoma was induced by CCl4 administration in O. cuniculus. The safe doses of CCl4, ethanolic extracts and identified ―terpenes‖ were also optimized during this piece of work. Hepatocurative and Hepatoprotective potentials of plants extracts and their identified ―terpenes‖ along with standard drugs (in medical use for treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma) were effectively analysed by monitoring physiological changes (pH of saliva, temperature, blood glucose, body weight) in induced Hepatic Carcinomic O. cuniculus. Furthermore, Hematological investigations (Hb, RBC, TLC, MCV, MCH, MCHC and Platelets), changes in Liver Biochemical Enzymes (Alkaline phosphatase, Aspartate amino Transferase and Alanine aminotransferase) and Hepatic Carcinoma Marker (Alpha Fetoprotein) efficiently marked Therapeutic as well as Prophylactic outcomes followed by Histo-Pathological studies of Carcinomic and healthy livers following Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining. xxiii The research work was aimed to critically examine potential role of naturally occurring ―Terpenoids‖ from diverse botanical origins for chemoprevention as well as chemotherapy of liver tumors. Both in vitro and in vivo effects were noted and recorded. We successfully identified the anticancer ―terpenes‖ giving better and non-toxic results against Hepatocellular Carcinoma in comparison to synthetic anti-cancerous drugs in market. In addition to this, we also recorded similar anticancerous response of ethanolic extracts of selected experimental plants against induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma in O. cuniculus. The results of the present piece of work are promising and may be very helpful for finding green, cost effective and eco-friendly chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic measures to deal successfully with liver carcinomas.

المبحث الثاني: سبب تسميتها بنازك الملائكة

المبحث الثاني: سبب تسميتها بنازك الملائكة

 اسم نازک اسم ترکي، ولدت شاعرۃ العراق الحزینۃ عقب الثورۃ التي قادتھا الثائرۃ السوریۃ (نازک العابد) ضد الإحتلال الفرنسي، فسماھا أبوھا بذلک الإسم، أیضاً رأیٰ جد الطفلۃ أن تسمیٰ نازک إکراماً للثائرۃ وتعظیماً لھا وھذہ الطفلۃ کانت جدیۃ منذ طفولتھا تکرہ المزاح والثرثرۃ، استفادت الشاعرۃ من ھذہ الجد یۃ في المستقبل فأصبحت شاعرۃ العراق الحزینۃ المعروفۃ ورائدۃ(الشعر الحر)۔

الملائکة المھذبون

 یشرح الدکتور نزار[1] (شقیقھا) عن اسم العائلۃ (الملائکۃ) بأنّ أطلِقَ علیھم الملائکۃ لھدوئهم وانطوائهم الإیجابي علی الذات وأنھم بالأصل من عائلۃ جلبي(تلفظ شلبي) وھي عائلۃ کبیرۃ ومعروفۃ. وأخبر نزار بأن قد جاء شاعر عراقي علی زیارتنا ورأی ھدوء وسکینۃ العائلۃ، وکان یرانا ھادئین لا نسبب الضجیج للجیران فسمانا ملائکۃ ، فانتشر ھذا اللقب بالحي۔

 وأیضاً تروي الکاتبۃ اللبنانیۃ ’’حیاۃ شرارۃ‘‘[2] بأنّ اسم الملائکۃ قد أطلق علی العائلۃ قبل قرنین من الزمن وذلک بسبب التھذیب المفرط لأبنائها، وأنّ أباھا صادق الملائکۃ أعطاھا اسم نازک تعظیماً بنازک العابد، إحدی المناضلات السوریات ضد الإحتلال الفرنسي في الربع الأول من القرن العشرین[3]۔

بیع سلم میں تلفیق بین المذاہب کی فعالیت: هيئة المحاسبة کے فتاوی کا تحقیقی جائزہ

To juxtapose various components in one issue or various issues, and to adopt various jurists’ points of views is called “Talfiq.” In the present radical age of science and technology, each and every social faculty is being radicalized particularly in finance; there are certain complications in the monetary systems of various countries. In this scenario, to concentrate on one school of thought and deduce the solution of these financial issues has now become impossible. That is why, Majlis-e-Shar’ii concentrate on “Talfiq between different school of thoughts”, where various parallel issues are solved. The Majlis has prepared a sharia standard where practicable and beneficial financial issues are elaborated. The jurists have elaborated various principles of “Bae-e-Salam”, and presented various relevant issues taking the insight from various scholars of Maliki, Hanafi, Shafi and Hambli schools of thoughts and focused on “Talfiq”. The present research paper the decrees related to Talfiq will be explored, where the jurists have adopted it. Whether it is allowed or prohibited. If it is allowed, to what extent?

Exploring the Perceptions of Secondary Schools Science Teachers About Nature of Science

Science teachers' perceptions and understanding of Nature of Science (NOS) is central to scientific literacy worldwide. This qualitative case study aimed to explore the perceptions of nine secondary school science teachers about NOS from six private schools of Gilgit. The three important tenets of NOS relevant to school science were, science being tentative in nature, empirical nature of science and scientific laws and theories. The schools and participants; three teachers from each discipline; chemistry, biology and physics were chosen through purposive sampling. Data was collected via two tools which were written in English and Urdu. The research tool, Views of Nature of Science (VoNOS) had six open-ended questions to be answered in written, while Nature of Science Research Protocol (NOSRP) was a semi-structured interview tool with four critical incidents to elicit verbal responses which were audio-taped with their consent. The data was thematically analyzed after transcription, verbatim, translation from Urdu to English and coding.Their responses were categorized into the three predominant themes as informed, adequate and inadequate by using a rubric adapted from Khan (2014). The results were noteworthy; it was revealed that despite not having read explicitly about NOS participants' held informed perceptions about science being tentative and empirical NOS. They believe that science is not fixed rather it is an on-going process, based on observation, experimentation and inferences. However, majority had adequate perceptions about laws and theories. They believed that that theories and laws are different but sometimes theories can convert into laws when proven right. Hence, this study recommends that the stake holders need to revisit the content of textbooks for updated knowledge about laws and theories and add many examples regarding it. The findings of this study can help science teachers, educators and researchers to understand the three aspects of NOS and become aware of the misconceptions about them.
