Early stage diagnosis plays a very crucial role in disease counteract in its very early stage before the appearance of the symptoms. Physician diagnosis depends on the outcomes arise from bio-chemical/diagnostic tests. Therefore, diagnostic methods plays vital role in right diagnosis of diseases on right time and assessing the quality of the drugs. Currently, optical measurement and chromatography based diagnostic assays are mostly used clinically. However, these assays encompass laborious sample preprocessing, complex readout instrumentation, , non-portable, time-consuming and expensive labeling methods. In contrast, electro analytical methods particularly chemiluminescence (CL) and electochemiluminescence (ECL) is one of the approaches that fit perfectly to satisfy the need of desirable characteristics of new diagnostic method. In this project, CL and ECL experiments had been accomplished using a BPCL Ultra-Weak Luminescence Analyzer. The photomultiplier tube (PMT) had been used in the BPCL Ultra-Weak Luminescence Analyzer. PMT was operated in current mode. A conventional three-electrode cell was used with a CHI 600 voltammetric analyzer to carry out electrochemical measurements. The experiments including voltamety, amperometry, ECL analysis, CL-flow injection analysis, and parameters for method validations had been done. The CL studies were performed for detection of creatinine, an important biomarker, used in clinical diagnosis and biomonitoring programs. A strong chemiluminescence was observed when creatinine reacted with H2O2 in the presence of cobalt ions, without any luminophore, enzymes and chromatographic separation. This was presented via CL-FIA method exhibiting a promising strategy for the sensitive quantification of urinary creatinine in clinical and toxicological laboratories. Hence, the CL studies have developed a novel, sensitive and selective method for detection of creatinine, to be used in clinical diagnosis and biomonitoring programs. ECL studies were designed in two parts, The first part explores new coreactants (Tripropylamine and Glucosamine) for typical luminophores and second part design a novel ECL sensor for biomedical analysis. Tripropylamine (TPrA), an eminent coreactant of tris(2,2''-bipyridine)ruthenium ion Ru(bpy)32+ ECL. The most popular coreactant for most luminol studies is H2O2, though it is very unstable and more sensitive to metal ions. In this study, a more stable TPrA was exploited as the coreactant of luminol ECL for the first time. It is anticipated that luminol–TPrA ECL system may be an attractive alternative to luminol–H2O2 ECL system for bioanalysis, immunoassays, DNA probe assays and aptasensors. Glucosamine is a bioavailable amino sugar and helps to relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine lacks chromophores (or fluorophores) which enable the sensitive detection with UV (or fluorescence). So, most available analytical methods are expensive, time consuming and need complex sample preparations. Our study investigated a new method for Glucosamine ECL analysis using another luminophore, Ru(Phen)32+ (Tris(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) chloride). The method was validated by quantitative testing of glucosamine contents in nutraceutical products in the market. So, It shows good sensitivity, selectivity, cost effective and very fast as compared with the currently used method. Second part of ECL studies leads to development of a novel cathodic ECL sensor. It was fabricated by introducing a unique facile immobilization method of Tris (4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) ruthenium (II) dichloride Ru(dpp)32+ using graphite powder asimmobilization matrix. This sensor has extended potential window for ECL detecting species (DNA probes, numerous analytes such as S2O82-, oxalates and amine containing compounds)providing a novel approach for cathodic ECL as well as anodic ECL analysis in clinical chemistry and medical diagnostics. In conclusion, this project will contribute in the scientific world via a valuable addition of new analytical methods showing several logs of dynamic range, good sensitivity, fast and cost effectiveness. These characteristics provide advantages over assays that rely on radio isotopic labels, enzymatic activity, fluorescence, chromatographic and spectroscopic which have been applied in the biomedical testing and pharmaceutical analysis. However, it is foreseen that this project can be applied in the biomedical and pharmaceutical analysis for good quality and cost effective tests in future.

میرے گلے پہ۔۔۔!
جب تو عین، شین، قاف کا تیر چھوڑے
پھر برزخ کی حقیقت میں جمال کا پردہ چاک ہو کر!
عالم اسرار۔۔۔صاحب قرار کی کماں ٹوٹ جائے
میں ہونٹوں پر مسکراہٹ سجائے!
سینے پر ہاتھ رکھے۔۔۔صحرا میں تڑپتا رہوں
ریت لہو سے غسل کرے۔۔۔!
میں بس ایڑیاں رگڑتا رہوں
پھر ہوائیں میرا طواف کریں
فاختائیں اپنے گھونسلے چھوڑتے ہوئے!
ٹیلئہ بہار کی طرف ہجرت کرنے لگیں
جس ’’مالکا‘‘ سے تو نے مجھے جدا کیا تھا
وہ تین قدم پہ کھڑی۔۔۔!
وا عشقا۔۔۔ وا عشقا کہتے ہوئے روتی کرلاتی رہے
تو تطہیر صحرا میں ۔۔۔لہو سے سیراب ریت پر اترے
’’عین‘‘ سے عقیل ؑبہار کا خطبہ ظاہر ہو
’’قاف‘‘ سے قطع یدین کا اسلوب ظاہر ہو
’’شین‘‘ سے۔۔۔!
شہادتِ سورہ عشق کی حجت تمام ہو
یوں عشق بھی۔۔۔مقام محمود پر نظر آنے لگے

Introduction to Communication Research: The First Basic Steps

Since the articles publish in Weekend Reviews and journals like Pakistan Perspectives are usually anchored in Communication Research it is incumbent that the first basic steps in that Research are delineated first. The first steps consist of three basic exposures i.e. Selective exposure, selective perception and selective retention. A. Selective exposure means that you expose yourself to those events or developments you’re already familiar with. If that is, if you’re PMLN fan you don’t usually expose yourself to PPP meetings or events. That is you strengthen your already antecedent perception all the more-to the exclusion to other perceptions. B. Selective perception means that even when you expose yourself to selective exposure you try to pursue only those developments or events that you’re at home with. Since you don’t expose yourself to other perceptions you get yourself confirmed or strengthened in your own persistent views. C. Finally, selective retention means that you retain only such perceptions which again are antecedent to your previous perceptions. In any case, the differences wrought by exposing yourself to different views are great, even monumental. This is seen in the respective stance of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi on the federal part of the Government of India Act, 1935-1940. Jinnah use to expose himself to all sorts of document, word by word and formulated his stance in the light of his readings.

Practices of Strategic Planning in a Private Secondary School in Karachi

The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of the school management team for using strategic planning for school improvement in a private secondary school in Karachi, Pakistan. It was a qualitative case study and different tools were used for data collection, such as semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The findings show that the strategic planning was introduced in school in 1995 in the form of models which were long-term plans. The principal, section heads, pool heads and Head of School Improvement Centre are directly involved in strategic planning and implementation process, but class teachers, students and parents are indirectly involved in the planning process. The school has its own mechanism of monitoring and evaluation of plans to achieve the set goals and targets within the specific timeline. The findings also reveal that the practices and use of strategic planning in school was helpful in improving teacher's professional practices and enhancing students' learning outcomes.
