Sheep production in Pakistan has an imperative socio-economic impact on the small holder rural farmers. Gastro-intestinal (GI) parasitic infections in sheep cause a substantial loss in terms of productivity and constitute serious economic losses in the world. In parasitized sheep, reductions in immunity to fight against endo-parasites might be attributable to mineral deficiencies. Trace elements including Copper (Cu), Cobalt (Co), Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn) were determined in (a) sera of sheep, (b) preferred flora and (c) respective soil samples of district Sialkot, Punjab, Pakistan during Autumn 2014 and Spring, 2015. Associative analysis was made between the serum concentrations of the study elements and quantitative worm burden. To this end, a total of 384 grazing sheep were randomly selected for collection of blood and faecal samples as per the standard protocols. An appropriate number of plants/ forages and soil samples were also collected. The sera, plant and soil samples were subjected to pre-treatment (digestion) required for the determination of trace element profile through atomic absorption spectrophotometery. Overall prevalence of GI parasites was 32.55% and 32.81% in district Sialkot during Autumn and Spring, respectively. Variable age and breed showed non-significant results while, sex was found significant during both seasons. Concentration of selected trace elements was significantly (P > 0.05) varied in analyzed forages; however, mean concentration of only Cu in forages collected from different tehsils varied significantly (P < 0.05) during Spring. A non-significant (P > 0.05) variation among soil trace elements was found in different tehsils of Sialkot district during both seasons. Concentration of all selected trace elements except Co in serum showed significant (P < 0.05) results among tehsils of district Sialkot during Spring while, only Zn in serum showed significant (P < 0.05) results during Autumn. Mean concentrations of Zn, Co and Cu during Autumn and Zn and Cu during Spring in serum was found inversely proportional to the mean egg per gram of sheep in all the three tehsils of Sialkot district. Forages containing high concentrations of Zn and Cu can be used effectively against GI parasites. Grazing of animals in rangelands containing trace elements rich forages increase the resilience against parasitic infections particularly in resource poor countries like Pakistan.

پروفیسر نثار احمد فاروقی
دارالمصنفین، شبلی اکیڈمی میں ۲۹؍ نومبر ۲۰۰۴؁ء کو علامہ شبلیؒ سمینار کا چوتھا اجلاس ہورہا تھا کہ یہ افسوس ناک خبر ملی کہ جید عالم اور اردو کے محقق، نقاد اور ادیب جناب نثار احمد فاروقی ۲۷ و ۲۸ نومبر کی درمیانی شب میں انتقال کرگئے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون، ان کی لاش دہلی سے امروہہ لائی گئی اور ۲۸؍ نومبر کو اپنے آبائی قبرستان میں سپرد خاک کردیے گئے۔
وہ بڑے صحت مند تھے مگر پچھلے کئی برس سے طبیعت خراب رہنے لگی تھی، گزشتہ سال جنوری کے آخر میں ان کے گھر ملاقات کے لیے گیا تو مجھے بہت مضمحل معلوم ہوئے، دریافت کرنے پر بتایا کہ رات ہی بمبئی سے آیا ہوں، وسط مارچ میں رام پور رضا لائبریری کے سمینار میں ملے تب بھی کچھ سست اور بجھے بجھے دکھائی دیے تاہم ان کی تقریر اب بھی کانوں میں گونج رہی ہے، دلی سے ان کا جاننے والا کوئی آتا تو وہ بھی ان کی علالت کا ذکر کرتا، دارالمصنفین کے سمینار میں اسی لئے شروع میں ان کو زحمت دینے میں تامل ہورہا تھا مگر ان کو مجھ سے اور دارالمصنفین سے جو لگاؤ تھا، اس کی وجہ سے طبیعت نہ مانی اور دعوت نامہ بھیج دیا، اسی دوران اخباروں میں پڑھا کہ وہ پروفیسر گوپی چند نارنگ کے ہم راہ دوحہ (قطر) ایوارڈ لینے گئے ہیں، اس لیے ایک عزیز کو دستی خط دے کر اصرار کیا کہ آپ تشریف لاکر مفتخر فرمائیں، خطوط کا جواب وہ فوراً دیتے تھے مگر اس دفعہ کسی خط کا جواب نہیں آیا، جب سمینار میں دہلی اور دوسری جگہوں سے لوگ آنے لگے تو جناب شعیب اعظمی نے جو بٹلہ ہاؤس میں ان کے قریب ہی میں رہتے ہیں بتایا کہ وہ سخت بیمار ہیں، آنے کے لائق نہیں...

تعمیر شخصیت كے جذباتی اجزاء احادیث نبویہ كی روشنی میں

The main Focus of Islam is to promote a healthy social setup. It is evident that a healthy society is a structure and framework of individuals' peaceful interactions. If the individuals are ofgood character with sound personalities, the society becomes a symbol of happiness and tranquility. It is clear that individuals face different situations in daily life and the way these matters are dealt with, depict the emotional aspect of their personality. Islam neither promotes ascetism nor it advocates to become materialistic, rather it strengthens a harmony between the spiritual and material needs. The balanced emotional expressions not only furnish a positive personality but also lead the individual to real success and salvation in this life and in the life hereafter. This article is an effort to identify the dimensions of different emotions, so that the negative emotional trends at individual or social level should not disturb the balance of the community life. (Note: Main components of the development of the personality are referred as cognitive, behavioral, and Emotional. Thefirst two components have been discussed in Issue No. 19th / 2008, whereas the Emotional components are being discussed in this Article.)

Study of Tectonic Evolution of Structures and Their Hydrocarbon Potential Using Seismic Data, Southern Sindh Monocline, Pakistan

Structural styles evolved in various tectonic settings are extremely important and most prolific for the accumulation of hydrocarbons. Variety of structures, structural styles and hydrocarbon structural traps are broadly associated with the unified mechanism of their formation in different plate tectonic settings. World’s major hydrocarbon fields and major portion of hydrocarbon potential is located in extensional basins. The area selected for the study is also characterized by extensional structures and because of that many hydrocarbon fields have already been discovered from Southern Sindh Monocline. As Sindh Monocline is producing 30% of country’s oil and 12% of country’s gas production is from Sindh Monocline. There are number of structures and structural styles found in extensional basins of the world but Some structures hold better prospects than others and the identification of these structures using seismic data is a big challenge as well. On the basis of overall results the conclusions of the study can be made as: Study area is largely characterized by normal faults. Basic structures of study area has been classified into nine types as Large normal faults Small normal faults, Spoon shape normal faults, Master normal faults, Rider normal faults, Folding, Flexure, Vertical faults and Listric shovel. Structural styles have been classified into six types as Horst and grabens, Dominos, Crotch, Synthetic and antithetic faults, Negative and Flashlight structural styles. New type of structural style i.e. “Flashlight structural style”, is reported first time from extensional basin during current study. The structures with in the study area revealed evidence for three major structural episodes first one associated with the rifting during Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, modification and reactivation of earlier structures during the Middle Cretaceous and inversion and reactivation during Early Eocene. Present day trap was also formed in third episode. Large normal faults have more chance of success as compared with other structural styles. The migration of hydrocarbons from source rock (Sembar Fm) to reservoir rock (Lower Goru Sands) probably have been greatly facilitated by faults and juxtaposed lithology.
