Cultivated tomato is a relatively recent addition in world’s important crops. There exists enormous variability for quality and yield related traits among different genotypes of tomato species. Like other tomato growing countries, tomato cultivation in Pakistan is also facing yield stagnation due to narrow genetic base of the existing tomato varieties and the onset of different biotic and abiotic stresses. Tomato crop thrives well at a temperature ranging from 13 °C to 39 °C. Tomato plants are sensitive to chilling temperature (0-12 oC), therefore, its yield is affected by frost and low temperature. Hence, chilling stress is the major yield limiting factor for tomato cultivation in the plain areas of Pakistan. In order to develop high yielding frost/chilling tolerant tomato varieties/hybrids, there is need to exploit the existing variability for different yield related traits in tomato. The selected genotypes with frost tolerance and high yielding traits could be hybridized to converge these traits in desired genotypes. The present study was designed to undertake the genetic analysis of various quantitative traits of economic worth. A set of 101 diverse germplasm entries was subjected to natural chilling temperatures in the field.Among all the screened genotypes only 18 lines were identified as frost tolerant. The selected lines were crossed with three high yielding testers. The parents and the F1 hybrids were planted at two different locations. The data for various quantitative traits was recorded and subjected to biometrical analysis to evaluate general combing ability (GCA), specific combining ability (SCA) and heterosis, as a step towards the development of genetically improved indigenous hybrids/varieties in tomatoes. For the better understanding of behavior of different traits, correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) of parental lines and F1 hybrids was also done.

مولاناسید فخرا لحسن الحسنی العمری

مولانا سید فخر الحسن الحسنی العمری
بڑے افسوس اور دکھ کی بات ہے کہ گذشتہ مہینے ہمارے نہایت فاضل دوست اور دارالعلوم دیوبند کے سابق صدر المدرسین مولانا سید فخر الحسن صاحب الحسنی العمری کم وبیش دوبرس کی شدید اور مسلسل علالت کے بعد راہی ملک بقا ہوگئے اورایوان علم وفضل میں اپنی جگہ خالی چھوڑ کرگئے۔ اناﷲ واناالیہ راجعون۔
مرحوم عمری ضلع مرادآباد کے سادات حسنی میں سے تھے۔ابتدائی تعلیم گھر پر پائی پھر دیوبند چلے آئے، یہاں سات آٹھ برس رہ کر نصاب میں جو علوم و فنون شامل ہیں ازاوّل تا آخر تمام علوم وفنون کی تمام کتابوں کادرس لیا۔ان میں دونوں باتیں تھیں، محنتی بھی اور ذہین وطباع بھی، اس لیے استعداد کے اعتبار سے طلباء میں ممتاز اوراساتذہ کے مقرب ومحبوب تھے۔ دارالعلوم کی روایات کے مطابق ہم جماعت طلباء کی ایک بڑی تعداد کوتکرار کراتے تھے۔ دورۂ حدیث حضرت مولانا سید حسین احمد مدنی ؒ کی خدمت میں دارالعلوم کے ساتھ حضرت کے تعلق کے پہلے برس ہی کیا۔ یہاں سے فارغ ہوکر مدرسۂ عالیہ مسجد فتح پوری دہلی میں مدرس ہوکرچلے گئے۔ راقم الحروف کامدرسۂ عالیہ سے جب تعلق ہواہے (۱۹۳۱ء) تویہ چند برس پہلے سے وہاں مدرس تھے، مدرسہ میں وہ حدیث و تفسیر، منطق وفلسفہ اورادب کی متوسط اوراونچی کتابوں کادرس دیتے تھے۔ پختہ اورٹھوس استعداد کے ساتھ تقریر اور افہام وتفہیم کا ملکہ خداداد تھا، خندہ جبینی اورشگفتہ مزاجی طبیعت اورفطرت تھی، طلباء کے ساتھ حسن واخلاق سے پیش آتے اوران کی ہرقسم کی مدد کرنے کے لیے ہروقت آمادہ رہتے تھے، نتیجہ یہ ہواکہ چند برسوں میں ہی ان کی شہرت کاطوطی مدارس عربیہ کے بام و در پر بولنے لگا اورعوام وخواص ان کانام عزت سے لینے لگے۔

The Role and Responsibilities of Youth in Islam

Youth is considered to be the backbone of any nation. The level of moral development, civilization and consolidation of authority and potency depends on the morality of its youth. It can be said that nations survive till their ethics live. The question of youth and Islam at present stems from the overwhelming demographic weight of youth and their relatively recent invasion into the public domain, as well as a wave of Islamic revivalism throughout the world. For any society and its future the youth plays vital and integral role both for progress and decline. The reason is that youth can make the future dark or bright through their role as individuals and as active members of society. This paper draws on lively focus group narratives of young Muslims to explore the interactive presentation of Islamic selves. By bringing together young people who practice Islam in different ways, this paper offers a deeper insight into how claims to a universal identity are actively constructed and contested through particular social relationships and interactions in specific structural contexts. The first part of the paper presents introduction of the whole study. Second part gives description about the categories of youth including; pious, deviated and confused. In third part importance of youth in Islam has been highlighted. Fourth part presents social, moral, political situation of Muslim societies in contemporary time. Fifth part gives description of impact of moral, social, and political situation on the minds of young people. Discussion concludes with the responsibilities of youth which is followed by findings and conclusion of the whole discussion. In so doing, the paper takes up recent calls for more research on the personal meaning of Islam as religion for Muslim youth

A Comparative Study of Secondary School Principals and Teachers Priorities Regarding Change and Innovation in Curriculum

The research was conducted to explore the Secondary school Principals and teachers priorities regarding change and innovation in curriculum. The objectives of the study were to analyze the secondary school teachers and principals’ general views about the existing Humanities group curriculum (2002); to explore the secondary school teachers’ and principals’ priorities regarding change and innovation in Humanities group curriculum; to make a comparison between the priorities of the both (teachers & principals) and to find out the barriers to curriculum change and innovation. For this purpose the descriptive and comparative research design was used. A total sample of 150 Secondary school teachers and 25 principals was drawn from 25 Federal Government Secondary Schools of Rawalpindi and its surrounding areas. The data was obtained through a structured five point likert scale questionnaire comprising both close and open ended questions. The results indicated that the principals had more inclination towards change and innovation with comparison to teachers. Related to prevailed curriculum, teachers showed more positive views than principals. Further, a huge difference was also found between principals and teachers priorities. Integration of ICT; concept based mode of study and incorporation of some local environmental issues were some of the aspects highly prioritize mostly by the principals as compare to teachers. The key recommendations involve the emphasis on teachers and principals’ participation in curriculum development process and giving value to the priorities of the both for ensuring the effective implementation of the curriculum.
