Nowadays, plants bioactive moieties are gaining attention amongst the masses to mitigate lifestyle related dysfunctions owing to their safe nature and functional properties. Considering phytochemistry and cost-effectiveness of cabbage, the current project was designed to probe the antioxidant capacity of locally grown green and red cabbage with special emphasis on modulation of oxidative stress biomarkers in response to hypercholesterolemic diet. Purposely, green and red cabbage samples were analyzed for compositional analyses that depicted high proportion of potassium and vitamin C in both samples. The red cabbage showed higher amount of total polyphenols & flavonoids (224.37±6.96 & 219.15±10.30 mg/100g F.W.) than green cabbage (58.41±3.01 & 34.04±1.06 mg/100g F.W.) along with the existence of anthocyanins (69.86±4.12 mg/100g F.W.) in red cabbage only. Comparative HPLC analysis regarding antioxidant moieties showed significant proportion of kempferol (171.10±5.99 mg/100g F.W.) and vitamin C (139.07±2.23 mg/100g F.W.) in red cabbage however, vitamin C (121.46±3.28 mg/100g F.W.) was found as the major antioxidant in green cabbage. The red cabbage depicted higher free radical quenching and reducing ability in contrast to green cabbage using DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl), ABTS [2, 2''-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)], FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) and PFRAP (potassium ferricyanide reducing antioxidant power) reagents. The corresponding assays were ranged from 31.22±1.65 to 87.79±3.69%, 1.51±0.07 to 6.04±0.21 μM Trolox/g F.W., 0.95±0.04 to 1.16±0.04 μM Fe2+/g F.W., 41.16±2.10 to 59.32±2.14% and 48.03±1.68 to 63.45±3.05%. In the product development phase, four types of croquettes based on green and red cabbage leaves & their respective aqueous extracts along with control were stored under frozen conditions and analyzed at three different intervals; 0, 15 & 30 days, employing two types of cooking procedures; baking and frying. The resultant prototypes were assessed for physicochemical analyses (caloric count, color, texture, water activity & antioxidant assays) as well as sensory response. The current study portrayed that designer croquettes remained freezer friendly for one month without employing any preservative. Comparative assessment of cooking methods inferred higher antioxidant potential and taste scores for fried prototypes. Based on antioxidant assays and overall acceptability, red cabbage and its respective aqueous extract were screened for biological evaluation. In animal study (12 weeks), male white New Zealand rabbits were divided into six groups; three groups under normal dietary pattern; normal diet, normal diet+cabbage leaves & normal diet+cabbage extract and next three under hypercholesterolemic dietary regimen; hypercholesterolemic diet, hypercholesterolemic diet+cabbage leaves & high calorie+aqueous cabbage extract. At termination, overnight fasted rabbits were sacrificed to assess serum lipid profile. The percent reduction in serum cholesterol and LDL by red cabbage & its extract was reported up to 10.79 & 15.19 and 12.24 & 18.09 in hypercholesterolemic rabbits, respectively. Furthermore, serum specific and tissues (liver, heart & kidney) oxidative stress biomarkers alongside, their somatic index and histopathology were studied. The red cabbage supplementation suppressed the leakage of liver functioning enzymes in sera up to 15.63% (ALT), 13.88% (ALP), 12.96% (ɤ-GT) and 10.77% (total bilirubin) besides reduction in hepatic lipid peroxidation up to 29.60% thus improved endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Likewise, red cabbage showed protection against cardiac oxidative stress. Additionally, the red cabbage extract lowered renal MDA (lipid peroxidation) up to 24.07% in oxidative stressed rabbits that ultimately restored renal SOD (11.38%) and CAT (16.72%), accordingly. The hepatosomatic index (HSI) and nephrosomatic index (NSI) expounded significant impact of treatments on hypercholesterolemic diet fed rabbits except cardiosomatic index (CSI). In hypercholesterolemic rabbits, mild degree of fibrotic and necrotic changes in hepatic parenchyma were rectified by red cabbage supplementation, whereas red cabbage extract based diet showed slower rate of amelioration. Likewise, mild degree of necrotic changes and congestion in cardiac fenestrations were modulated by red cabbage feeding. Moreover, severe necrotic & pyknotic alterations in renal parenchyma along with mild to moderate degree of congestion in hypercholesterolemic rabbits were effectively reversed via extract supplemented group in contrast to cabbage fed group. In the nutshell, dietary inclusions based on red cabbage has proven restorative against hepatic and cardiac compromised conditions, whereas altered renal fenestrations were also effectively restored by red cabbage extract enriched diet.

مولانا ابو محفوظ الکریم معصومی

آہ! مولانا ابومحفوظ الکریم معصومی مرحوم
علامہ ابومحفوظ الکریم معصومی نے ۱۷؍ جون ۲۰۰۹؁ء کو اس عالم فانی کو الوداع کہا اور کلکتہ کی زمین نے علم و تحقیق کے آسمان کو اپنی آغوش میں لے لیا، یقینا ان کی وفات سے مطالعہ و تحقیق کی دنیا میں عرصے تک خلا محسوس کیاجائے گا، فنانی العلم ہستیاں اب نایاب ہیں اور ان کے اٹھ جانے سے واقعی علم کے اٹھ جانے کا احساس ہوتا ہے۔
دارالمصنفین سے ان کا تعلق نصف صدی سے زیادہ کی مدت پر محیط ہے، وہ جب ڈھاکہ یونیورسٹی میں ریسرچ اسکالر تھے تو اس وقت یعنی ۱۹۴۸؁ء میں ان کا مضمون ’’تفسیر طبری کی اہمیت‘‘ کے عنوان سے شائع ہوا تھا، یہ تعلق اس طرح قوی سے قوی تر ہوتا گیا کہ وہ آخری وقت تک رسالہ ’’معارف‘‘ کی مجلس ادارت اور دارالمصنفین کی مجلس انتظامیہ کے رکن رہے، اس لیے دارالمصنفین میں ان کے رحلت کی خبر اور بھی زیادہ غم واندوہ کے ساتھ سنی گئی۔
مولانا کی زندگی کا بیشتر حصہ بنگال میں گزرا لیکن اصلاً مولدووطن صوبہ بہار کا نہایت مردم خیز قصبہ بہار شریف ہے، ان کے والد مولانا محمد امیر حسن نے کلکتہ اور ڈھاکہ میں مدۃالعمر تعلیم و تدریس کے فرائض انجام دیئے لیکن وطن کی خاک ان کو بہار شریف کھینچ لائی، مولانا محمد امیر حسن کے دو صاحب زادے ہوئے اور دونوں علم و تحقیق کے آفتاب و ماہتاب نکلے، ایک تو ڈاکٹر محمد صغیر حسن معصومی، جنہوں نے آکسفورڈ یونیورسٹی سے ابن باجہ اندلسی کی کتاب النفس کو مرتب کرکے ڈاکٹریٹ کی ڈگری لی، ان کے بعض مقالے معارف میں شائع ہوئے، پاکستان بننے کے بعد وہ وہاں کے تعلیمی اداروں سے وابستہ ہوئے اور اسلام آباد میں ۱۹۹۶؁ء میں وفات پائی، ہمارے مولانا ابومحفوظ الکریم معصومی ان سے چھوٹے تھے، ان...

ظہرین کے اوقات میں اشتراکات: اسلام کے پانچ بڑے فقہی مکاتب فکر کے تناظر میں

In India scholar‘s had played incredible role for ‘Hadith’. The service of Indian Muslim scholars about methodology of Hadith is much more than other countries scholars in the last 50 years of thirteenth century. Their name should be written in golden words. There services about the methodology of Hadith are great one. Muslim scholars of sub-continent had taken keen interest in the research work of Hadith and its explanation. If we evaluate the theological history of India that ; Shah Waiullah ‘and his family worked day and night for expansion and publishing of’ Hadith  ‘ Thirteenth century of hire is called a century of revolution as concerned for Hadith. Because in that era proper theological institutions were set up and very strong institutions had spread knowledge and study of methodology of Hadith

Exploring Teachers Knowledge and Skills to Do Formative Assessment in Chemistry Teaching at Secondary Level in a Public School of District Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan

Assessment for learning has been given prime importance in K-12 education across the countries. This study aimed to explore the assessment practices and perceptions of two grade IX Chemistry teachers in a Government secondary school Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The study adopted qualitative case study design, where data were generated through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings of this study highlight that the teachers perceive that effectiveness of assessment is determined by its potential to promote further learning. Such assessment practices not only improve student’ learning but also provide opportunities to teachers for reflection and improvement of their instruction. The participant teachers have knowledge about number of formative assessment techniques to gauge students’ learning during the class. Among them, questioning and feedback were the two key elements of participant teachers’ assessment practices. Teachers argued that extensive reason based questioning for assessment purposes provided a venue to students to share their science conceptions in class and get feedback on them by fellow students and teachers to check whether their own conceptions are in line with established scientific ideas. The study also identified that the teachers were very concerned about monitoring students’ learning. However, teachers’ assessment practices are much influenced by the local board examinations which are mainly based on regurgitation and time bound paper-pencil tests. Because of expectations from parents and school management, teachers were obliged to train students to get high marks in the board examination. Therefore, it is recommended that the teachers’ assessment during the course of study should be given some weightage in the cumulative board examination results. Teachers should also be given professional development extensive repertoire of assessment techniques including use of ICT. There should be consultative dialogue with parents to make them understand the importance of students’ creative work which may not reflect through their marks and grades.
