The present study was conducted to explore the acridoid fauna from the region of Azad Jammu & Kashmir. Survey was within 10 districts of AJK comprising of 50 localities during the year (2007-10) following by collection manual.The identification was carried out both on morphological and molecular level by using DNA barcoding techniques. Seventy acridoid species were collected and identified from the study area and subjected to DNA barcoding to remove the confusion the morphological identification. The barcod results of only 26 species was obtained that shown the great variation among the specimens of 11 specie. Out of 70 species 17 were found as the new record from the study area. Keys were constructed for the local species, genera, subfamilies and families. Diversity indices were applied on the sorted material to calculate the the richness and abundance of acridoid grasshoppers. Sequences produced from the grasshoppres species in the current studies have been submitted in the gene bank database for the sequence database and barcod reference library, Biodiversity Institute Ontario, Canada.

مولوی محبوب عالم

مولوی محبوب عالم
اس ماہ کے شذرات کا صفحہ وفات نامہ ہوا چاہتا ہے، مگر احسان فراموشی ہوگی اگر ملک کے سب سے بوڑھے صحیفۂ نگار مولوی محبوب عالم اڈیٹر پیسہ اخبار لاہور کا ماتم نہ کیا جائے، ۲۸؍ مئی کو انہوں نے اس دارِ فانی کو الوداع کہا، وہ اردو کے سب سے پہلے روزنامہ اخبار (پیسہ) کے اڈیٹر تھے، انہوں نے صرف اپنی محنت و کوشش سے سرمایہ حاصل کیا اور ملک میں تاریخ اور سیاحت ناموں کے پڑھنے کا ذوق پیدا کیا اور خود بھی یورپ اور ممالک اسلامیہ کے دوسفر کئے اور سیاحت نامے لکھے، مگر افسوس کہ اب ان کو وہ سفر پیش آیا جس کا سفرنامہ انسانوں کے ہاتھ نہیں، فرشتوں کے ہاتھ لکھتے ہیں، اس ان دیکھی منزل کے بوڑھے مسافر پر اﷲ تعالیٰ کی رحمت ہو۔
مرحوم نے ۷۴ برس کی عمر پائی۔ (سید سلیمان ندوی، جولائی ۱۹۳۳ء)
تصحیح: منشی محبوب عالم مرحوم کے تذکرہ میں یہ لکھا گیا ہے کہ وہ اردو کے پہلے روزانہ اخبار کے بانی اور اڈیٹر تھے، اس سے مراد مسلمانوں میں تھی، یعنی اردو کے پہلے اسلامی روزانہ اخبار کے وہ بانی اور اڈیٹر تھے، اردو میں منشی نولکشور لکھنو کا اودھ اخبار ان کے اخبار سے پہلے نکلا تھا اور اب تک نکل رہا ہے۔ (سید سلیمان ندوی، اگست ۱۹۳۳ء)

 

Significance of Philadelphia Chromosome in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients of Anmol Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan

Background: Chronic myelogenous Leukemia is a form of cancer that was firstly recognizes to associate strongly with the chromosomal abnormality [t (9; 22) translocation] called Philadelphia chromosome. Objective: Philadelphia chromosome is a characteristic chromosomal marker that is associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Methods: More than one hundred patients of either sex were selected for the experiment. RNA was isolated from whole blood of patients so can use exclusively in RT-PCR. Results: Philadelphia chromosome in blood samples of patients with suspected diagnosis of CML was detected in 63% of patients. During our experimental studies on CML patients we do not encounter any complex translocation involving chromosome 8, 9 and 22.  Conclusions: Philadelphia chromosome is a precise cytogenetic marker the detection of which is significant for differential diagnosis and clinical organization of patients with clinical diagnosis of CML. It is of significant that Ph chromosome occurs in pre-leukemic stage and has great diagnostic significance.

Impact of Personality on Adaptive Performance With Mediating Role of Emotional Labor. Testing a Mediated Moderated Model Among Front-Line Female Hospitality Industry Employees in Pakistan

This study examines the relationship between facets of emotional labor viz. surface acting and deep acting on adaptive performance with mediating role of emotional exhaustion among female hospitality staff in Pakistan. The major antecedents for emotional labor analyzed in the current study are big five personality dimensions as type of personality determines the choice of emotional labor strategy. The study also examines the mediating role of emotional labor strategies between all five dimensions of personality and emotional exhaustion relationship. The job of female staff in hospitality sector becomes more cumbersome in a masculine culture hence its moderating role was also examined. Although frequent regulation of emotions in service encounters is inherently stressful and thus more likely to lead to emotional exhaustion, emotional intelligence can help reduce the negative impact of stress arising from emotional labor. Thus moderating role of emotional intelligence was also examined. The first questionnaire was administered on front-line female employees of hotels of Pakistan who were encouraged by their HR department head and/or immediate supervisor/head to complete questionnaire as they were requested to give permission to fill out the questionnaires. 17 The respondents who have specific exposure, who serve as front-line service providers’ were requested individually to complete questionnaire. A total of 700 questionnaires were distributed, 513 questionnaires were received in which 42 questionnaires were incomplete hence 67.3 % response rate yielded as 471 questionnaires were used for analysis. The second questionnaire was administered on immediate supervisors who have to make evaluation regarding front-line female employees’ adaptive performance. Seventy six supervisors/heads of different hotels provided adaptive performance rating of 471 employees. Each supervisor evaluated almost six front-line female employees’ adaptive performance. The results of the study show sufficient support for greater part of hypotheses. It shows that openness to experience personality dimension is negatively associated to surface acting as well as deep acting. Conscientious, extraversion and agreeableness personality dimensions are negatively associated to surface acting and positively connected to deep acting. Neuroticism dimension of personality is positively connected with surface acting and negatively associated with deep acting. It has been analyzed and found that three dimensions of personality (openness to experience, conscientiousness and extraversion) are positively associated with adaptive performance. Whereas, agreeableness has significant negative relation with adaptive performance and neuroticism is negatively connected with adaptive performance. Surface acting is positively associated to emotional exhaustion whereas deep acting is negatively connected with emotional exhaustion. Surface acting has significant negative impact on adaptive performance whereas deep acting has positive impact on adaptive performance. Results also show that there is no mediation of emotional labor (surface acting and deep acting) between most dimensions of personality and emotional exhaustion. The proposed mediating role of emotional labor between most of big five personality dimensions and emotional exhaustion was not found. As expected emotional intelligence moderates surface acting-emotional exhaustion relationship as well as deep acting-emotional exhaustion connection, whereas, masculinity did not moderate any proposed relationship. Lastly, it is also observed from the results that emotional exhaustion mediated the relationship between surface acting-adaptive performance and deep acting-adaptive performance. Theoretical as well as practical implications of the study have also been discussed. Moreover, limitations and future research directions are also given.
