The importance of fodder crops in agriculture are very valuable and need regular supply of nutritious food for the development of livestock. The maximum number of animals depend upon the fodders and residue crops for their food in Pakistan. Medicago sativa (lucerne) and Ocimum basilicum (basil) belong to the family Leguminacae and Lamiaceae respectively. Both have economic importance in all over the world due to the animal’s food. Hermolaus modestus and Hermolaus ocimumi are the vulnerable sucking pests of Ocimum basilicum and Medicago sativa. Adults and instars of both pests badly damage the host plants specially flowers and soft leaves with their modified mouth parts. Due to the piercing and sucking habit, growth of flowers and seeds are reduced. It is observed that most of the field workers grown Ocimum basilicum around the field of vegetables or main crops in Pakistan. Because, this practice help them to protect their main crops from the attack of Hermolaus modestus, Hermolaus ocimumi and other pests. In the present study, experiments were conducted on Hermolaus modestus and Hermolaus ocimumi from July-2012 to Dec-2012, july-2013 to Dec-2013, july-2014 to Dec-2014 and from August-2012 to December-2012, August-2013 to December-13, and August-14 to December-14 respectively in three different years in accordance to the field data of Southwood (1978). Horizontal life table is the fundamental method for the determination of severe infection. The biotic and abiotic factors were involved during whole life cycle for both pests, but humidity and temperature were found correlated with mortality of both pests in the laboratory. The survivorship curves with some deviations were constructed in this work resembled with the type III and IV of Slobodkin (1962). The vulnerability for Hermolaus modestus and Hermolaus ocimumi was observed in initial 1st and 2nd instars in the life table. The large number of adults of H.modestus was found alive in the month of September-2012, September-2013 and adults of Hermolaus ocimumi was observed alive in September-2013 and October-2013, but this alive quantity was less than Hermolaus modestus. The minimum fertility for Hermolaus modestus was 10 eggs per female in July due to the high humidity and the maximum fertility of 14 eggs per female in September due to the high temperature. The minimum fertility for Hermolaus ocimumi was 8 eggs per female in October due to low humidity and high temperature. The maximum fertility of 14 eggs per female in December for Hermolaus ocimumi due to low temperature. The net reproductive rate was highest as 6904 in September-12 for Hermolaus modestus and as 1947 in September-2013 for Hermolaus ocimumi. The net reproductive rate was found to be lowest as 49 in November-2013 for Hermolaus modestus due to low temperature and was 430 in October-2014 for Hermolaus ocimumi due to low humidity. Mean generation time found between 30 to 32 days in all generations for Hermolaus modestus. Mean generation time for Hermolaus ocimumi was minimum as 21 days in December-2012 and was highest as 33 days in November-2012 and October-2014. The highest value of intrinsic rate of increase for Hermolaus modestus was 0.2919 in Sep- 2014 and for Hermolaus ocimumi was 0.3433 in December-2012. The intrinsic rate of increase for Hermolaus modestus was lowest as 0.1218 in November-2013 and was 0.1837 for Hermolaus ocimumi in October-2014. The population dynamics showed high density during August and September and low density during November for adults of Hermolaus modestus. Population density for adults of Hermolaus ocimumi found in between the range of 85 to 348 in all generations. The synthetic pesticides deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin and the natural pesticide biosal were used in this research and determined the toxic effect after 24 hrs by using the filter paper impregnation method. The Log-probit graph paper was used for the determination of LC50s for deltamethrin, lambda cyhalothrin and biosal. The mean percent mortalities were calculated statistically with 95% confidence limit. One way ANOVA was used for checking of significance level. The LC50 of biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin were determined for adult of H. modestus 6.45, 0.00004 and 0.349 ߤg/cm2 and for adult of H. ocimumi 6.2, 0.0106 and 0.225 ߤg/cm2 respectively. The one way ANOVA was rejected the null hypothesis for all mentioned cases. It implies that the different concentration levels of all treated pesticides were not equal. The mean of multiple comparison test were performed to find those pairs that were not equal. The results suggested that the means of all case almost significantly differ to each other. The value of one way ANOVA for biosal against adult of H. modestus and H. ocimumi were found to be F (5, 12) = 53.328 P˂ 0.001 and F (6, 28) = 94.158, P˂ 0.001respectively. The value of one way ANOVA for deltamethrin were found F (5, 12) = 271.425, P˂ 0.001 and F (6, 28) = 35.379, P˂ 0.001 against adult of H. modestus and H. ocimumi respectively. The value of ANOVA for lambda cyhalothrin were estimated as F (5, 12) = 47.723, P˂ 0.001 and F (6, 28) = 182.402, P˂ 0.001 against H. modestus and H. ocimumi respectively. Treatment of all pesticides against Hermolaus modestus showed the sequence of toxicity potential was deltamethrin > lambda cyhalothrin > biosal. Toxicity potential of pesticides against Hermolaus ocimumi also was deltamethrin > lambda cyhalothrin > biosal. In the recent work, the total contents of protein in adults of Hermolaus modestus were found to be 68.94% when treated with biosal, 95.392% after the treatment of deltamethrin and 75.42% when treated with lambda cyhalothrin. ANOVA showed that F (3, 8) = 2.172 E3, P˂ 0.001. Multiple comparison test (LSD) was used to find out those pairs that were not equal, due to the rejection of null hypothesis. The potency of pesticides to inhibit the total protein contents in adults of Hermolaus modestus was deltamethrin > lambda cyhalothrin > biosal. The values of total protein contents in adults of Hermolaus ocimumi were found to be 43.964%, 75.798% and 84.75% after the treatment of biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin respectively. ANOVA showed that F (3, 8) = 55.645, P˂ 0.001. . Multiple comparison test (LSD) was used to find out those pairs that were not equal, due to the rejection of null hypothesis. The potency of pesticides to inhibit the total protein contents in adults of Hermolaus ocimumi was lambda cyhalothrin> deltamethrin > biosal. The estimation of the GOT inhibition in the adults of Hermolaus modestus was found to be 1.325%, 66.044% and 16.381% after the treatment with biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin respectively. ANOVA showed the value of F (3, 8) = 7.844 E3, P˂ 0.001. The GOT inhibition in the adults of Hermolaus ocimumi was found to be 21.169%, 52.355% and 28.713% after the treatment of three pesticides biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin respectively. ANOVA showed that F (3, 8) = 2.443 E3, P˂ 0.001. Multiple comparison test (LSD) was used to find out those pairs that were not equal, due to the rejection of null hypothesis of ANOVA. The estimation of GPT in the adults of Hermolaus modestus was showed inhibition as 10.742%, 26.933% and 52.424% with the treatment of biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin respectively. ANOVA mentioned the value of F (3, 7) = 235.809, P˂ 0.001. The GPT estimation was showed decreased in the adults of Hermolaus ocimumi as 22.42%, 31.16% and 47.33% after the treatment of biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin respectively. ANOVA showed that F (3, 8) = 283.600, P˂ 0.001. Multiple comparison test (LSD) was used to find out those pairs that were not equal, due to the rejection of null hypothesis.

حکیم شیر محمد شیر

حکیم شیر محمد شیر(۱۸۷۴۔۱۹۶۰) داغ دہلوی کے شاگرد اور لسان الاعجاز پنڈت میلا رام وفا کے استاد گرامی تھے۔ اقبال کی طرح آپ بھی خط و کتابت کے ذریعے مرزا خاں داغ دہلوی سے شاعری میں اصلاح لیتے تھے۔ داغ کی وفات کے بعد آپ نے سید احمد حسن میرٹھی کو اپنا کلام دکھانا شروع کر دیا۔ آپ کا کلام ہندوستان کے معروف رسائل میں چھپتا رہا۔ تین ضخیم دیوان لکھے مگر انہیں غربت کی وجہ سے شائع نہ کروا سکے۔ (۱۵۷) شیر نے غزلیں بہت کم لکھی ہیں۔ نظم‘ قصیدہ‘ مرثیہ‘ سلام اور صنف تاریخ کو تو وہ بچوں کا کھیل خیال کرتے تھے۔ بہت کوشش کے باوجود شیر کے مسودات دریافت نہیں ہو سکے۔ ’’سرزمینِ ظفر وال‘‘ کے تذکرے کے ذریعے راقم الحروف نے شیر کا کچھ کلام بازیاب کیا ہے۔ آپ نے اپنی ساری زندگی اپنے آبائی وطن ظفر وال(سیالکوٹ) میں گزاری۔ آپ کے کلام میں دیگر موضوعات کے ساتھ ساتھ مقامیت کے عناصر دیکھے جا سکتے ہیں۔ اس حوالے سے ان کی نظم ’’قصبہ ظفر وال‘‘ ملاحظہ کی جا سکتی ہے۔ اس نظم میں مقامیت کے ساتھ ساتھ ماضی و حال‘ تقسیمِ ہند اور ہندوستانی تہواروں کا ذکر بھی ملتا ہے۔ اس نظم کی زبان بہت سادہ اور سلیس ہے کچھ اشعار ملاحظہ ہوں:

اب ظفر وال ہے شکستہ حال                        آ گیا ہے اس آئینہ میں بال

رہ گیا ہے صرف عکس مو اس میں                 خوبیاں ہیں نہ خوبرو اس میں

چشمہ مہر میں وہ آب نہیں                            خم گردوں میں وہ شراب نہیں

وہ زمیں اب وہ آسمان نہ رہا                          ہم نے دیکھا تو جو سماں نہ رہا

حسنِ شہری سے یہ جا محروم                          اکثر اوقات بولتا ہے بوم

رہ گیا ماند قصبہ جاتی حسن                             ملگجا ہے کچھ دیہاتی حسن

نہیں سیپوں...

Women-oriented CSOs in a Fragile State: A Gendered Review of State-Civil Society Imbroglio in Pakistan's History

State-Civil Society relations in Pakistan have seldom been far from problematic and when it comes to Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) working for women empowerment and gender equality the relations with the state become highly adverse. According to several researches gender insensitivity is often an important characteristic of fragile states. In this context, this paper seeks to explore the role of CSOs working for women empowerment in the history of Pakistan and their relationship with the state of Pakistan. It also tends to assess whether an improvement in this relationship can possibly help to diminish the fragility of the Pakistani state. The paper is based on qualitative research with an analytical approach and has been completed with the help of interviews with relevant persons and overview of related material in print and on line.

Maritime Affairs in Pakistans Exclusive Economic Zone in Indian Ocean

The development and well being of the human race is very closely interlinked with the seas, which take up about 70% of the earth''s surface area. Owing to shrinking of resources on land most of the maritime nations have fully exploited what the seas offer as a medium of transportation and the rich resources that they hide within their bowels but few are still lacking behind on the pretext of various challenges being faced out at sea. Now the technology is at a stage where even the tidal and wave energy can be harnessed for power generation. This immense potential of the seas makes them a valuable asset for any nation. Pakistan is also fortunate to have a more than 1000 Km sea frontage and has benefited from it but the extent of derived advantage is far less than what it can be. Total area of Pakistan''s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is 240,000 Sq km. Whereas, with the approval of Continental Shelf by UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) on 13 March 2015, yet another area of 50000 Sq km has been added which makes a total of 290,000 Sq km which is larger than the combined land area of Sindh and KPK provinces of Pakistan and can be rightly regarded as the maritime province of the country. Nevertheless Pakistan has yet to tap its rich resources to the optimum advantage. It would not be wrong to say that relevant stake holders are not even fully aware of the resources that can be exploited and the available figures are only estimations which cannot be used for effective planning for management and exploitation of these resources. Conscientious effort has been been made in this dissertation to find out the reasons why Optimum exploitation of maritime resources in Pakistan is not being done, due to lack of protection of resources and various challenges out at sea or some other reasons. By pitching the maritime resources with certain challenges being faced at Pakistan’s EEZ in the Indian Ocean, it was analyzed that in fact it is lack of ‘will’ at all levels of the government, private and public stake holders. Nevertheless, detailed estimation through survey and mapping of living and non-living resources needs to be undertaken in systematic manners with complete harmony at all level using one window operation. Most of the challenges are already being thwart with the help of International community out at sea in the Indian Ocean. A National Maritime Authority needs to be created at Federal level with the portfolio of maritime affairs presently being handled by various ministries, divisions and departments at Provincial and Federal level. Pakistan Navy must be equipped adequately to be a credible force for protection of sovereignty, Maritime Security, SLOCs and to act as a potent force in Pakistan’s EEZ.
