Flavonoids are the most common group of polyphenolic compounds in the human diet including fruits, vegetables, nuts and plant derived beverages, tea and wine. These compounds have been reported to possess a wide range of bio-activities. Structural variations of these flavonoids are associated with many different biological and pharmacological activities including antioxidant, anticancer, antiinflamatory, antihyperglycemic, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities. Antioxidant enzymes as well as non enzymatic antioxidants are the first line of defense against oxidative stress. This oxidative stress is the underline mechanism for diabetic complications. In recent years, the high therapeutic properties of flavonoids and their analogues have brought attention of chemists to synthesize various kinds of their derivatives by improving the existing synthetic methodologies.It is therefore, the aim of present study was to synthesis and characterize the novel flavonoids and their derivatives. These compounds were screened for their antioxidants potential and evaluate their antihyperglycemic activity. By using Claisen−Schmidt condensation, 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone was allowed to condense with different aromatic aldehydes. Four kinds of products were isolated; chalcones (105, 106, 108, 110, 115, 119, 121), flavanones (107, 109, 111, 120, 123), Arylmethylidene flavanone (112, 113, 114, 116, 117, 118, 122, 124, 127, 128) and 2-Arylmethylidene indanones (125, 126). A series of chalcones (131-135) was also synthesized by reacting 2 hydroxy-5-nitro acetophenone with different aromatic aldehydes. The synthesized chalcones 134 underwent cyclization in the presence of iodine to obtain compound 136. Compound 105 was reacted with hydrazine hydrate to obtain 2-(5-(2-nitrophenyl)4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3 yl)benzene-1,4-diol (129) and compound 108 was reacted with hydrazine hydrate to form 2 (5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)benzene-1,4-diol (130). The compound (125) was reacted with different N-substituted-2-bromoacetamide (137-139) to form compound (144-146). After reacting 8-acetyl-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (142) with 2′-Bromo-N-benzylacetamide (137), the product 2-[(8-acetyl-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen 7-yl)-oxy]-N-phenylacetamide (143) was obtained. All the synthesized compounds were characterized and confirmed through spectroscopic analysis i.e., Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Electron Ionization Mass Spectrometry (EIMS). The compounds 105-126, 129, 130 and 131-135 were checked for their antioxidant potential by α, α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, Iron chelating activity, Iron chloride (FeCl3) reducing power activity, Phosphomolybdinum assay and 2,2′ azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) activity. Among all the synthesized compounds, the chalcones 105, 106, 108, 110, 115, 119, and 121 showed excellent antioxidant activity. The chalcones 105, 110 and 115 exhibited better antioxidative behavior than trolox and ascorbic acid. The Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed in normal hyperglycemic rats for compounds 105, 106, 107, 108 and 109. The compound 109 exhibited good activity in normal hyperglycemic rats while the compound 105 showed significant activity in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats as compared to reference Glabenclamide. For in silico studies, Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) were performed for compounds 105-126 and 131-135. The comprehensive intra molecular charge transfer has been perceived from the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs). The smaller ionization potential (IP) and bond dissociation energy (BDE) values for compound 105, 106, 107, 108 and 109 revealed that these compounds would show proficient antioxidant behavior which is in good agreement with the antioxidant experimental data. Experimental and computational investigations concluded that compound 105 might be an effective antihyperglycemic agent because of its antioxidative nature and smallest ionization potential.

قدرتی وسائل و ذرائع اللہ تعالیٰ کی عطا کردہ وہ نعمتیں ہیں جن سے نسل ِانسانیآسائش و سہولت حاصل کرتی ہے۔ زمین، دھاتوں و غیر دھاتوں کے خزانے، سمندر، دریا، وسیع و عریض فضائیں، آبی وسائل، معدنیات، نباتات، حیوانات، وادیاں اور بلند و بالا پہاڑ وغیرہ قدرتی وسائل کی اہم مثالیں ہیں۔

2۔ انسان کی ضروریات و حاجات کے پیش نظر دنیا کی سارے قدرتی وسائل و ذرائع کو اس کے زیر تسلط کر دیا گیا ہے۔ ان قدرتی اشیا میں جاندار بھی ہیں اور بے جان بھی۔ ایک جرثومہ سے لے کر سورج جیسے فلکی اجسام سبھی قدرتی اشیا انسان کی خدمت کے لیے تخلیق کیے گئے ہیں۔

3۔ زمین پر قابل تجدید ذرائع نسبتاً زیادہ مقدار میں پائے جاتے ہیں۔ قا بل تجدید توانائی کا حصول ناقابل تجدید ذرائع کی نسبت زیادہ مستحکم، دیر پا، سستا اور ماحول دوست ہوتا ہے۔ ہائیڈرو پاور، ونڈ پاور، ٹائڈل پاور، سولر پاور قابل تجدید توانائی کی عام مثالیں ہیں۔ ترقی یافتہ ممالک اپنی ٹیکنالوجی قابل تجدید توانائی پر منتقل کر رہے ہیں تاکہ ماحولیاتی آلودگی سے بچا جاسکے۔

4۔ انسان زمین پر اللہ تعالیٰ کا خلیفہ ہےلہٰذا زمین اور اس پر پائے جانے والے مختلف قدرتی وسائل کے تحفظ کی ذمہ داری بھی انسان پر عائد ہوتی ہے۔ 1947ء میں پاکستان کے گرین بیلٹ کا رقبہ 30 فیصد لگ بھگ تھا جو سکڑ تے ہوئے 5 فیصد تک محدود ہوچکا ہے۔

5۔ 1951ءمیں پاکستان میں ہر فرد کو 5300 کیوبک میٹر پانی میسر تھا، جو اس وقت 1000کیوبک میٹر فی کس تک محدود ہو چکا ہے۔ ایک اندازے کے مطابق2025ء تک پاکستان شدید آبی بحران کا شکار ہوسکتا ہے۔ اس لئے پانی کی ایک ایک بوندکا تحفظ کرنا ہر فرد...

Myths and Misconceptions of Covid-19 Vaccination in Women of Reproductive Age

Myths and Misconceptions spread very fast as compared to facts in the current situation of social connectivity. The same is about Covid-19 infection and its vaccine in women of reproductive age and in pregnancy. We need to correct these misconceptions with evidence which is the objective of this editorial about covid vaccination.

Health Care Organization of Afghan Refugees and Host Population in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: A Servant Leadership Assessment in 2012

Two Health Care Organisations (HCOs) were assessed in this research; HCO 1 for Afghan refugees and HCO 2 for Pakistani citizens, residing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. The level of Servant Leadership (SL) being practiced in these organisations was assessed. The two organisations were analysed separately, followed by their comparative analysis. The study explored the organisational strength and weakness, association of seven demographic factors with SL, the gap in perception between the leadership (top leadership and management) and workforce, and association of job satisfaction with SL. Finally, the level of ease-to-reform these organisations was analysed. Methods It was a quantitative research, which used a pre-designed, self-administered instrument – Organisational Leadership assessment (OLA) – to record the perception of the employees about the practice of servant leadership in their respective organisations. 574 employees (HCO 1: 200; HCO 2: 374) were selected through a stratified random sampling technique. Results It was found that the HCO for Afghan refugees had better status having Moderate Health and positive paternalistic culture. HCO 2 had Limited Health and was negative paternalistic. Builds Community was the strength and Develops People was the weakness of both the organisations. Almost all the selected demographic factors had no association with SL. 35 out of 40 correlations were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Statistical analysis showed that the gap in perception between leaders/managers and workforce about the practice of SL was not significant (p > 0.05) in both the organisations. The level of job satisfaction was satisfied and average for HCO 1 and 2, respectively. Association of job satisfaction to SL was strong (r = 0.5 – 1), positive and highly significant (p < 0.01). Ease-to-reform was high for both the organisations. Conclusions All the sections of employees perceived that both the organisations fell short of the servant-organisation level and the very satisfied degree of job satisfaction. Since the potential for reform was high, a reform program is required to be initiated to make these organisations servant-oriented. It has to focus on all the segments of the employees because the demographic factors do not affect perception about SL. An additional conclusion was drawn during literature review; it was observed that either we are unable to define leadership properly or classify it according to the spirit of that definition.
