Background and Objectives: There is no information available about the physiology of estrous cycle in native goat breeds of Pakistan; hence, modern breeding practices such as artificial insemination (AI) and estrous synchronization are not practiced by goat enterprises. Among several goat breeds, Beetal is popular for its dairy and meat characteristics. About 10% of the total goat population of Pakistan (74.1 million heads) is comprised of Beetal goats. Therefore, the objectives of the study were: 1) To understand the follicular dynamics and changes in plasma estradiol-17β and progesterone concentrations in Beetal goats during the estrous cycle (First experiment). 2) To determine the factors associated with variable interval to estrus and ovulation between early vs. late ovulating goats by monitoring the follicular dynamics and changes in estradiol-17β, progesterone and LH profiles following estrous synchronization by PGF2α (Second experiment). 3) To determine the optimal time of AI and changes in vaginal mucous characteristics relative to the onset of standing estrus in goats (Third experiment). Methodology: In the first experiment, two consecutive estrous cycles were monitored in Beetal goats (n = 7) via transrectal ultrasonography after estrous synchronization using a single dose of PGF2α (0.075 mg, i.m., d+ cloprostenol, Dalmazin®, Fatro, Italy) during the breeding season (Sep-Nov 2016). In second experiment, ovulation time of Beetal goats (n = 38) was determined using transrectal ultrasonography at every 6 h interval after the administration of single dose of PGF2α (Experiment 2a). The variations in hours to ovulation were further investigated in another subset of goats (n = 13) after the administration of single dose of PGF2α given randomly during the luteal phase (Experiment 2b). In the third experiment, intracervical inseminations were performed at 0 (n = 28), 12 (n = 84), 24 (n = 101) and 36 h (n = 44) after the onset of estrus in Beetal goats (n = 257) during the breeding seasons (September to December, 2016 through 2018). Characteristics of vaginal mucus (i.e., color, consistency, and volume) were observed at the time of AI and subjectively graded to calculate cumulative mucous score. The vaginal electrical resistance (VER) was recorded at each time point using Draminski® estrous detector. Results: In the first experiment, the interovulatory interval of Beetal goats averaged 21.2 ± 0.3 d, and the duration of follicular and luteal phases were 3.9 ± 0.1 and 17.2 ± 0.3 days, respectively. The 4-wave follicular pattern was greater than 3-waves (71% vs. 29%; P > 0.05). In 3-wave cycles, follicular waves emerged on Days -0.3 ± 0.3, 8.3 ± 1 and 14.5 ± 0.5 of estrous cycle (Day 0 = ovulation), while in 4-wave cycles, waves emerged on Days 0.5 ± 0.2, 7.5 ± 0.5, 11.9 ± 0.4, and 16.1 ± 0.6. Maximum diameter of preovulatory follicle and corpus luteum was 7.2 ± 0.2 mm and 11.8 ± 0.3 mm, respectively. On an average 1.7 ± 0.2 follicles ovulated per cycle, and luteolysis began on Day 17.2 ± 0.3 of the cycle. The largest follicle of first and ovulatory waves had greater diameters compared with 2nd or 3rd wave (P < 0.05). The peak plasma estradiol-17β concentration was observed 33.6 ± 9.6 h before ovulation. The peak plasma progesterone concentration was attained by Day 12.2 ± 1, and reached < 2 ng/mL within 1.6 ± 0.3 d after the onset of luteolysis. The plasma progesterone concentration and diameter of corpora lutea correlated throughout the estrous cycle (r = 0.94; P < 0.05). In the experiment-2a, the ovulation time varied between 60 and 96 h, and 57% of ovulations occurred by 72 h after PGF2α. Based on the time of ovulation, the goats in experiment-2b (n = 13) were retrospectively divided either into early (≤ 72 h) and late ovulating (≥ 84 h). The onset of estrus, peak estradiol‐17β concentration and LH surge after PGF2α was first observed in early than late ovulating goats (P < 0.05). The goats ovulating early had larger follicle and smaller CL in diameter at the time of PGF2α administration than those ovulating late (5.4 ± 0.2 vs. 4.3 ± 0.2 mm and 10 ± 0.6 vs. 11.8 ± 0.3 mm, respectively; P < 0.05). Likewise, plasma progesterone concentration tended to be lower (P = 0.087) in early than late ovulating goats. In the third experiment, pregnancy rate was minimum (P < 0.05) at 0 h (28.6%) compared with 12 (58.3%) and 24 h (56.4%); however, the pregnancy rate at 36 h (54.5%) did not differ (P > 0.05) compared with 0, 12 or 24 h. Relative odds for pregnancy rate at 12, 24 and 36 h were 5.24, 5.20 and 3.29 times greater than those of 0 h. The cumulative mucous score varied (P < 0.05) relative to the onset of estrus, and correlated well (P < 0.05) with the color and consistency than mucous volume. The VER was minimum (P < 0.05) at 12 than 0 and 36 h. Conclusions: In conclusions, the seventy-one percent of the cycles in Beetal goats are of 4-wave in nature and overall Beetal goats has a tendency of twin ovulations (first experiment). The size of the dominant follicle and CL at the time of PGF2α determines the interval to ovulation after administrating a single dose of PGF2α during the luteal phase (second experiment). The optimum time to inseminate the does using refrigerated semen is 12 to 24 h after the onset of estrus, whereas cumulative mucous score and VER can be used to determine the stage of estrus (third experiment).

جمہوریت بہتر یا آمریت

جمہوریت بہتر یا آمریت
جمہوریت کی تعریف کرتے ہوئے ایک مرتبہ ابراہیم لنکن نے کہا تھا کہ جمہوریت ’’عوام کی حکومت عوام کے لیے عوام کے ذریعے ‘‘ ہوتی ہے۔ اس کا مطلب ہے کہ جمہوری طرز حکومت میں عام آدمی بنیادی کردار ادا کرتا ہے۔ اشرافیہ ، جاگیردار اور سیاستدان کو عام آدمی کی خواہشات کے مطابق کام کرنا پڑتا ہے۔ اس طرح ان کی تمام سیاسی سرگرمیوں کا اصل مقصد ان غریب عوام کی فلاح و بہبود ہوجوانہیں اپنا نمائند ہ منتخب کرتے ہیں اور جن کے سامنے وہ اپنے فرائض اور ذمہ داریوں کے لیے جواب دہ ہوتے ہیں۔دنیا کے مختلف علاقوں میں اس طرزحکومت کو کامیابی کے ساتھ اپنایا گیا۔ امریکہ اور ہندوستان کو جمہوریت کی دوروشن مثالوں کے طور پر پیش کیا جاسکتا ہے۔ جمہوری حکومت میں چونکہ سارا دارومدار عوام پر ہوتا ہے، کیونکہ وہ عوام کی حکومت ہوتی ہے، اس کی جملہ توانا ئیاں فلاحِ عوام پر صرف ہوتی ہیں اس کا مدعا اور مقصد وحید عوام الناس کو سکون پہنچانا ہے اور اس کے اطمینان میں دراندازی کرنے والی ہر شے کے سامنے رکاوٹ کھڑی کرنی ہے، اس کی معاشی ، اقتصادی، معاشرتی، صنعتی ترقی کے لیے جہد مسلسل کرنی ہے۔ اس حکومت میں چونکہ ایک فرد کا کردار ادا نہیں ہوتا پوری عوام شامل ہوتی ہے ہر اس کام کی جواجتماعی طور پر نفع بخش ہوتا ہے اس کی ہر پلیٹ فارم پر حمایت کی جاتی ہے اور ہر وہ کام جو اجتماعی طور پر مضرت رساں ہوتا ہے اور نقصان دہ تصور کیا جاتا ہے اس کی مخالفت کی جاتی ہے اس میں عوام کی ترقی کے لیے اقدامات کیے جاتے ہیں۔
جمہوریت کے برعکس جس سرکاری نظام کا ذکر ہوتا ہے وہ آمریت ہے۔ آمریت میں فرد واحد کا کردار ہوتا ہے۔ اس کی سوچ اور...

ابتكارات العلامة الزمخشري في علم البديع خلال أسلوب السؤال والجواب في تفسيره الكشاف

The Figures of Speech(ملع عيدبلا )is a Significant branch of Arabic Rhetoric. It has two kinds; Literal Aesthetic, تانسحملا ةيظفللا)) Semantic Aesthetic, (تانسحملا ةيظفللا). Both kinds are having a pivotal role in the miracle of Qurān. The Great Scholar of Rhetoric Al-Zamakhshari has mentioned many of its types to analyze the Qurānic Verses rhetorically in his exegesis Al-Kashāf. The Great Scholar Abd Al-Qāhir Al-Jurjāni did not approach the upper mentioned kinds, not for the reason of non-interference in The Qurānic miracles but he was always eager to derive new ideas in this particular field. As it is known that many former scholars have approached all kinds of the Figures of Speech in a wide range and Abd Al-Q┐hir Al-Jurjāni was dominated by his creative nature. In this article, it has been discussed widely the academic ambivalence surrounding Abd Al-Q┐hir Al-Jurjāni's lack of interest in the Figures of Speech among three modern scholars: Dr. Muhammad Ahmad Al-ķwfi, Dr. Muhammad Shwq┘ Zaif, Dr. Muhammad Ab┴ Mosā.

Studies on Floral Biodiversity of District Mianwali and Allied Areas With Emphasis on Ethnobotanical Uses

This study confined to the ethnobotanical exploration in District Mianwali and surrounding areas based on plant resources with particular emphasis on documentation of indigenous knowledge from local communities. The area is located adjacent to salt range and arid region of Punjab Province, Pakistan with unique hills of Kala Bagh Estate, Musa khail and Chashma Barrage. The study was carried out to assess the linkage among the people with the ethnobotanical potential of the area. The people of the area have close relationship with surrounding plant resources and have for a long time dependent on plant resources for their food, health, shelter, fodder, fuel wood and other cultural purposes. In total 448 species were reported to be used for various purposes as 150 species of medicinal value, 71 as ethnoveterinary, 40 fuel wood, 16 timber, 66 fodder, 14 of agricultural implements, 45 vegetables / pots herbs, 31 bee flora and 15 species were used as fruit yielding. It is stated from this study that the area has great potential of plant resources with rich heritage of indigenous knowledge regarding the use of these species. However during the surveys it was found that the area is under severe pressure of habitat degradation, population pressure, extensive cutting of fuel wood, timber and non timber forest products (NTFPs) species. The study concludes that there is the need of time to aware the indigenous communities to protect and conserve their plant resources by educating each other for sustainable development and utilization. The study strongly recommend to adopt practical measures including in-situ and ex-situ conservation strategies by the Government, policy makers, forest departments, wild life institutions by the involvement of local communities for future generation.
