A comprehensive study carried out for determination of heavy metals including trace (Cr, Fe, Zn, Ni, Mn, Co, Cu) and toxic (Pb, Cd) metals in variety of fruit juices and soft drinks and also studies the impact of these on human health. These heavy metals were determined by atomic absorption technique. Statistical analysis (ANOVA) was also done for heavy metals of a variety of juices and soft drinks of different packing material and also determined various physicochemical parameters like (PH, Conductivity, TDS, Salinity, DO, Specific gravity) as well as isolation of fungal species and microbial load in variety of fruit juices and soft drink. The results of heavy metal were compared with permissible limit in drinking water imposed by the United State Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA), World Health Organization (W.H.O) both for fruit juices and soft drinks and recommended dietary allowances (RDA) only for fruit juices. Isolated fungal species compared with literature review both in fruit juices and soft drinks and microbial load with Gulf standard (only in fruit juices) as well as these were correlated with physicochemical parameters. Present study shows that order range of concentration for Cr was not permissible above within the standards sets by the organization and also dietary intake It was found that upper limit of Fe in tetra pack and plastic bottle also range was found in sachet pack was not safe within limits but if compared with dietary intake order and concentration range below the standards. It was found that Mean (range) of Zn was below the US-EPA also dietary intake of trace element. Range of concentration and order for Ni (T> B >S) was above within the standards also was not permissible with dietary intake Upper limit of Mn in all packing was not lies within standards except range of Mn in plastic bottle permissible by W.H.O recommendation. Range of Mn in tetra pack and plastic bottle was below within in daily intake level but upper level in sachet pack was high. Mean range of Cu and Co in all packaging was within in all standards was also small within a dietary intake. In the present work range of Pb was measured in all packing was within US-EPA but not safe according to W.H.O recommendation. Upper limit of range of Cd in tetra pack and plastic bottle and range was found in sachet pack was not safe within standards. Mean of heavy metals (ppm) in soft drinks was accessible. In present work it was found that means value of Cr and Ni in both packaging (plastic pack and tin pack) was not permissible and above within standards Mean value of Fe in both packaging was high and not safe within 0.3 ml/L. It was observed that range of Zn (plastic pack and tin pack) was low as compared to standards Mean concentration of Mn, Co and Cd was approximate within standards Mean concentration of Pb in (plastic pack and tin pack) was expectable within US-EPA, but obove within W.H.O. Statistical analysis (ANOVA) Result showed that null hypothesis for Zn and Ni was rejected for fruit juices as well in soft drinks Zn, Cu, and Cd were rejected synthetic chemicals used in the packaging, storage, and processing of food stuffs. This is because most of these substances are not inert and can leach into the foods, harmful to human health over the long period. For identification of fungi in the juices, direct plating technique was applied and the species were recovered in a variety of tetra pack fruit juices and plastic bottle soft drinks. A.flavus, A.niger, Penicillium sp, Rhizopus sp, Mucor saccromyces, Fusarium, A. Fumigate, Monilia, A. Wentii and Candida albicans. In present study genus Aspergillus was most frequent in juices. None fungal contamination was observed in plastic bottle and sachet pack of a variety of fruit juices and tin pack of soft drink Furthermore present work showed that presence of fungi was frequently observed in tetrapacks of fruit juices may be due to permeability of packing by which they are made cartons was more risk than plastic bottle carton are bent and hot filled in vacuum condition this process causes a depression within the carton which may lead to the entry of air and consequently favors mould(fungi) production. For the evaluation of total viable count (TVE) total coliform count (TCC) fecal coliform (FCC) and total staphylococcal count (TSC) Standard cultural techniques were applied. In the present work observed bacterial load in tetra pack and plastic bottle of a variety of juices and soft drinks but none bacterial load was seen in sachet pack of fruit juices and tin pack of soft drinks. Present work observed that Total viable count (TVC) in Apple, Mango, Punch and strawberry juice was below the standard while in orange and grape was found within the standard (TCC.) Total coliform count in Apple, Mango, Orange, Grape, Punch and strawberry juices was above the standard. Fecal coliform count (FCC) in Mango, Grape, Punch and strawberry was above the standard while they were absent in Apple and Orange. Staphylococcal count was found in Apple, Mango, Punch juices was within the standard while in Orange was above the standard, they were absent in grape and strawberry. But in present work presence of coliform, fecal coliform and staphylococci in fruit juices and soft drinks of different packing materials indicate that they were contaminated. Fruits become contaminated with microorganism during preharvest, harvest and post harvest period of time all the way through fecal material harvesting equipment, domestic animals and wild animal human use, transport container, wild and domestic animals, ice or water. Many microorganisms was found as natural contaminants in soft drink, but moderately the minority be able to cultivate inside the acidic and little oxygen atmosphere All assessment it was determined that fruits juices and soft drinks might cause serious hazards to human health. It was concluded that care and caution should be taken to improve the quality of consumer product in every as pact on the basis of may research work for health view do not use ready to eat drinks like juices and soft drinks should be utilize fruits and homemade juices since they are actually favorable for our health and life.

عشقی الہاشمی
عشقی الہاشمی(۱۹۰۹ء ۔۱۹۸۳ئ)کا اصل نام جعفر علی اور عشقیؔ تخلص کرتے تھے۔ عشقیؔ سیالکوٹ کے سادات نقوی خاندان میں ہوئے۔ آپ عربی فارسی میں خدا داد قابلیت رکھتے تھے اور علومِ شرقیہ کے بہترین اساتذہ میں شمار ہوتے تھے۔ عشقیؔ نے شاعری میں علی طالب الہٰ آباد ی اور لسان الہند مرزا ہادی عزیز لکھنوی سے فیض حاصل کیا۔ سیالکوٹ میں عشقیؔ کے بہت زیادہ شاگرد تھے۔ جنھوں نے اُردو شاعری میں اعلیٰ مقام حاصل کیا۔ اصغر سودائیؔ اور تابؔ اسلم جیسے کاملِ فن شعرا عشقیؔ کے تلمذ میں رہے۔(۴۴۱)
آپ نے مجلہ در’’نجف‘‘ میں بحیثیت مدیر معاون کام کیا۔ ’’شبابِ اردو‘‘ ،اور’’نوروز‘‘ کی ادارت بھی سنبھالی ۔اور امر تسر کے ہفت روزہ ’’مجلہ آرٹ‘‘ کے مدیر بھی رہے۔ (۴۴۲) ’’سر شک بہار‘‘ ،’’مطلع الانوار‘‘ ،’’سوزو ساز‘‘ ،’’سہا و سمن‘‘ اور ’’غزلستان‘‘ عشقیؔ کے چار شعری مجموعے ہیں۔’’العروض ‘‘تصنیف میں فنِ شاعری پر تنقید اور تبصرے شامل ہیں۔(۴۴۳)
عشقیؔ روایتی شاعر ہیں ان کے ہاں کوئی جدت نظر نہیں آتی۔ عشقی ؔ کے اسلوب پر دبستان دہلی اورلکھنو کے اثرات بھی دیکھے جا سکتے ہیں ۔ اُن کی غزلیات چھوٹی اور لمبی بحروں میں ہیں ۔شاعری میں قافیہ اور ردیف پر بہت زور دیتے ہیں ۔ان کی اکثر غزلیات کی طویل ردیفیں ہیں ایسا لگتا ہے جیسے وہ شاعری پر قافیہ اور ردیف کو فوقیت دیتے ہیں ۔ مذکورہ بالا خامیوں کے باوجود عشقیؔ کے ہاں آفاقی موضوعاتِ شاعری بھی موجود ہیں۔ اخلاقیات،رجائیت،قومیت،حقیقت پسندی،اصلاح ،عشقِ مجازی اور عشقِ حقیقی عشقیؔ کی شاعری کے اہم موضوعات ہیں۔ اس حوالے سے نمونہ کلام ملاحظہ ہو:

فقہ اسلامی اور مروجہ ملکی قوانین کے تناظر میں عذر کی جدید طبی اور نفسیاتی صورتوں کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Shariah is comprised of five main branches: adab (behavior, morals and manners), ibadah (ritual worship), i’tiqadat (beliefs), mu’amalat (transactions and contracts) and ‘uqubat (punishments). These branches combine to create a society based on justice, pluralism and equity for every member of that society. Furthermore, Shariah forbids to impose it on any unwilling person. Islam’s founder, Prophet Muhammad, demonstrated that Shariah may only be applied if people willingly apply it to themselves—never through forced government implementation. Muslim jurists argued that laws such as these clearly mandated by God, are stated in an unambiguous fashion in the text of the Qur'an in order to stress that the laws are in and of themselves ethical precepts that by their nature are not subject to contingency, context, or temporal variations. It is important to note that the specific rules that are considered part of the Divine shari'a are a special class of laws that are often described as Qur'anic laws, but they constitute a fairly small and narrow part of the overall system of Islamic law. In addition, although these specific laws are described as non-contingent and immutable, the application of some of these laws may be suspended in cases of dire necessity (darura). Thus, there is an explicit recognition that even as to the most specific and objective shari'a laws, human subjectivity will have to play a role, at a minimum, in the process of determining correct enforcement and implementation of the laws.

Use of Adaptive Cluster Sampling under Different Sampling Designs

In this dissertation, a class of Hartley Ross type unbiased estimators is proposed for estimation of finite population mean under adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling. Hartley Ross type unbiased estimator is also proposed utilizing two auxiliary variables. These estimators employ information on known parameters of the auxiliary variable. The variances of proposed class of unbiased estimators are obtained up to first degree of approximation. Computations related to proposed estimators are illustrated via numerical example. Proposed estimators are more efficient than the usual mean estimator, ratio and modified ratio estimators in adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling under certain realistic conditions. Exponential-ratio-type and difference-type estimators are propounded for general parameter in adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling. The proposed estimators coherently utilize information on two auxiliary variables in three different situations i-e. none, partial and full information about population parameters of auxiliary variables. The proposed estimators for general parameter can be used to estimate the population mean, population coefficient of variation, population standard deviation and population variance of the variable of interest. Proposed estimators are also presented to be used with multi auxiliary variables. Difference-type estimators are recommended for estimation of population coefficient of variation under adaptive cluster sampling. Proposed estimators utilize mean, ranks and coefficient of variation of auxiliary variables. Difference-type and difference-cum-exponential-ratio-type estimators are presented utilizing two auxiliary variables for estimation of general parameter under adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling. These estimators utilize auxiliary information in terms of ranks, variances and means of auxiliary variables. Such estimators are generalized for multi auxiliary variables. xviii Generalized ratio-type and ratio-exponential-type estimators are proposed for population mean under adaptive cluster sampling based on modified Horvitz-Thompson estimator. The proposed estimators utilize auxiliary information in combination of conventional measures (coefficient of skewness, coefficient of variation, correlation coefficient, covariance, coefficient of kurtosis) and robust measures (tri-mean, Hodges-Lehmann, mid-range) to increase efficiency. Finally, three new sampling schemes are proposed to select initial sample in adaptive cluster sampling. These schemes are proposed adopting, ranked set sampling to increase precision of estimates. Usual Hansen-Hurwitz and Horvitz-Thompson estimators for population mean under adaptive cluster sampling are modified for employment under the proposed schemes. Procedures related to the proposed schemes are also illustrated with the help of examples. Expressions for bias and mean square error of proposed estimators are derived using first order of approximation. Empirical and simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the proposed estimators. Behaviors of existing and proposed estimators are analyzed for several initial sample sizes and at different levels of correlation between study and auxiliary variables. Comparisons of existing and proposed estimators are also illustrated. The results reveal that whenever the efficiency conditions are fulfilled, proposed estimators performed more efficiently than competing estimators for estimation of population mean, population variance and population coefficient of variation. The proposed estimators are found to be more efficient under both adaptive cluster sampling and stratified adaptive cluster sampling. The sampling schemes which are recommended by adopting ranked set sampling are found to be more efficient than adaptive cluster sampling when initial sample is drawn by simple random sampling without replacement.
