T2DM (Type 2 diabetes mellitus) is an endocrine disease having a significant genetic component.Polymorphisms of many genes may affect hereditary vulnerability of the disease that is characterized by insulin resistance and islet disorder. Though numerous factors associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) within local population have been assessed but gaps exist in determining genetic elements that contribute to this disease. As the genetic basis of T2DM can vary between ethnic groups, it is important to investigate the genetic link of T2DM in Pakistani populace. The existing project was aimed to assess the association of receptor for advanced glycation endproduct (RAGE) gene polymorphism (-429T>C and -374T/A) with type 2 diabetes mellitus within local populace. It employed 50 normal individuals and 100 patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Case control study involved demographic features and relative analysis associated with biochemical parameters (fasting blood sugar, HbA1C (glycated hemoglobin), liver function tests, lipid profile, renal function tests) within normal and diabetic individuals. Genotyping of the RAGE gene was studied by PCR- RFLP on genomic DNA. Among baseline characteristics, body mass index and blood pressure were notably (p<0.01) greater in case subjects in comparison with normal participants. Blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and lipid profile showed substantial difference (p<0.01) between case and control subjects. Biochemical parameters had insignificant (p>0.01) relation with both genetic variants. Additionally RAGE gene polymorphism had non-significant association (p>0.05) with post diabetic complications. It is suggested that there might be no association of RAGE gene variants -429T>C and -374T/A with T2DM, diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, cardiac and hypertensive manifestations in Pakistani population. To date this is the first national study as per our knowledge that throws light on the association of RAGE gene variants with T2DM and various biochemical parameters. Therefore, further exploration is needed to comprehend molecular and cellular systems of polymorphism which is still ambiguous. Additionally more genetic investigations might identify new candidate genes for treatment and prevention of the disease.

ٹریفک کے قوانین

ٹریفک قوانین
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معززصدرو میرے ہم مکتب سا تھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پرلب کشائی کرنی ہے وہ ہے:’’ٹریفک قوانین‘‘
صدرِذی وقار!
قانون، اصول، ضابطہ جیسے الفاظ کا تصور جب دماغ کے در پچوں کو دستک دیتا ہے تو تہذیب وتمدن ، اورمنظم قوم کی ایک تصویر بھی دماغ کے خانوں میں ابھرتی ہوئی محسوس ہوتی ہے، اور اُجلا پن جگہ جگہ دکھائی دینا شروع ہو جا تا ہے۔ کائنات رنگ و بو میں ہر شے کا اپنا اپناضابطہ ہے۔ نظام ِشمسی ہو، نظامِ فلکی ہو ،نظامِ ارضی و سماوی ہو، جملہ نظام ہائے حیات قوانین کے دائرے میں متحرک نظر آتے ہیں۔ کچھ قوانین ایسے ہوتے ہیں جن کو انسان اپنی بقاء کے لیے بناتے ہیں، انہی قوانین میں ٹریفک کے قوانین بھی ہیں۔
صد رِمحترم!
زمین پر حشرات الارض کو دیکھیں تو ان کی اجتماعی حرکت ایک قطار میں نظر آئے گی۔ آسمان کی بلندیوں پرمحوپرواز طائران خوش الحان کی زندگی کا مشاہدہ کریں تو ان کی پرواز بھی کسی قانون اور ضابطے کے تحت ہوگی۔ حدی خواں کے اونٹوں کی قطاریں، بلبل کی چہک، پھول کی مہک ، جگنو کی چمک، ستاروں کی دمک ، سورج کی روشنی، چاند کی چاندنی ، فضاؤں کی سرسراہٹ ، آبشاروں کی گڑگڑاہٹ ، سمندر کا سکوت، دریا کا شور، صبح سہانی ، ندیوں کی روانی یہ جملہ مظاہرِ فطرت کسی نہ کسی ضابطے کے تحت سرگرم عمل ہیں۔
معززصدر!
قوانین انسان کی فلاح کے لیے بنائے جاتے ہیں، انسان کی ترقی مقصود ہوتی ہے، انسان کی زندگی میں حسن پیدا کرنا ہوتا ہے، انسان کونشست و برخاست کا ڈھنگ سکھانا ہوتا ہے، انسان کی گفتار میں شائستگی پیدا کرنا ہوتی ہے۔ انسان کی رفتار میں اعتدال پیدا...

اسلامی نظام معاشرت میں عدل اجتماعی کی اطلاقی معاشی نوعیت

There is no doubt that the economic system of Islam is stable and compassionate which is based on "Human Amity." This system and its features are utterly beneficial for humanity irrespective of their caste, creed, reigion and religion etc. The specialities of social justice that are applied in the economic field provide such comprehensive and versatile version which makes the utility of the economic system even more pertinent. The humanity can adopt this system to ensure their well-being and welfare.  More importantly, as this system is based on economic justice rather equality, which means, it’s the natural system that depends on human capacities, efforts, innate necessities and abilities. The more a man strives, the more benefit he gets. However, it also sets out the principle of financing those who try hard but stay behind in the economic race. In addition, the fundamental philosophy of this system is to protect the economic rights of the society and provides resources to everyone for equitable economic struggle, with no discrimination. The economic systems around the world suffer from inflation and precariousness, while Social Justice proves to be a remedy to the said scenarios.

Laminar Flow Enhancement in Channels With Heat Transfer Analysis

Investigation of flow and heat transfer phenomena in a channel filled partially or fully with porous medium is of significant interest as it has numerous applications in heat exchangers, crude oil extraction, jet printers, petroleum reservoir, filtration mechanism, magnetic refrigerator, rocket propulsion etc. It is observed that the pressure gradient and temperature difference play vital role in the channel and pipe flows. Also, presence of porous medium has a significant effect on heat transfer phenomenon. Theoretical analysis of such flows is helpful to examine more complex problems related to flow and heat transfer phenomena. A lot of research has been conducted in this direction. However, characteristics of heat transfer in composite channel flows are yet to be explored as a few literature is available on this topic. Keeping this in mind, emphasis has been paid on the steady of flow and heat transfer characteristics in channels partially or fully filled with porous medium. Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid known as Casson fluid have been considered and the impact of presence of magnetic field, unsteadiness and suction/injection on fluid flow and heat transfer are observed. The considered problems are mathematically modelled using momentum and energy equations. In some particular cases, entropy generation effects are also investigated to measure the energy losses during these processes. Different techniques like numerical and analytical are used to solve partial differential equations which govern heat transfer and flow phenomena. Regular perturbation method is used to solve analytically the governing equations whereas finite difference scheme are employed to obtain the numerical solutions. The validity and accuracy level of the solutions have been determined either by comparing both the solutions or calculating the residual error. The analysis carried out in this dissertation reveals that the presence of porous medium decreases the velocity of the fluid within the pipes or composite channels. Also, it is noticed that the flow and heat transfer strongly depend on the viscosity ratios, magnetic field parameter, thermal conductivity ratios, inclination angle and porosity parameter. Moreover, the Newtonian fluid velocity is higher than the Casson fluid velocity for irregular channel with convective boundary conditions. In case of composite channel, temperature enhancement is more in porous region as compared to clear region. Furthermore, presence of porous medium, magnetic field parameter and viscous dissipation effects are the major factor responsible for entropy generation.
