Sustainability - an endeavor to stable, durable and eternalness performance - has become a renowned and most important fact, recognized and consciously emphasized by various international agencies, interested parties and consumers, that has caused extra pressure in widening the organization’s purpose to make productive use of input resources to create value and benefits for its constituents and stakeholders, of current and future generation, without harming the environment or society. Corporate sustainability management makes sight to grow business activities, by balancing the complementary and competing interests of key stakeholders, in three dimensions; economic, social and environmental; to lead superior and long-term success. Literature suggests that Corporate Sustainability Performance (CSP) can be substantiated with the very foundation of TQM or Business Excellence Models. Authors have also contrasted the principles and practices of three international management system standards (MSSs); i.e. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001; in fulfilling requirements related to Quality, Environment and Health & Safety (QEHS) to attain goals of three pillars of sustainability performance. Moreover, the ever growing industrial and technological advancement, in the world, creates new and diversified risks and challenges for the organizations, and for the environment, that can be dealt with attention to dimensions of Technology Management (TM). Managing technology entails production and use of alternatives which are economically and environmentally viable for the benefit of society. In literature, TQM and TM have been treated in separate fashion, and only little research is available that combines the both. This is a novel research study that co-aligns TQM and TM to empirically investigate their association and impact on sustainability performance while taking into account the contributing role of QEHS MSS. The study initially establishes research objectives and questions, and develops ten hypotheses, and then adopts a positivism philosophy, deductive approach, quantitative method and questionnaire based survey strategy for data collection from 209 organizations, of different sectors, sizes and locations, in Pakistan. Normality, homogeneity, reliability and validity of data is confirmed prior performing data analysis. Factor analysis, structural equation modeling (SEM) and path analysis techniques through sophisticated statistical softwares (Minitab, SPSS and AMOS) have been used for data analysis and relationship measurement of the factors. Results of the study reveal that TQM iv significantly impacts CSP and each dimension of sustainability, whereas TM significantly impacts economic sustainability only. It is also found that TQM mediates relationship between TM and CSP, whereas QEHS MSSs has no moderated mediation effect in the relationship but significantly contributes in achieving higher sustainability performance. After discussion, the study also proposes a six-step strategy to implement sustainability practices, and then highlights some valuable findings, conclusions, recommendations and limitations at the end. The study contributes to literature as it empirically investigates the association between the contemporary concepts, particularly in the context of a developing country, and suggests an implementation framework for attaining corporate sustainability performance. Key Words: TQM, technology, sustainability, corporate sustainability performance, management system standards

افسوس ہے ڈاکٹر سےّدمحمود بھی رخصت ہوگئے۔وفات کے وقت عمر ۸۲ برس کی تھی۔مرحوم برلن کے پی۔ایچ۔ڈی اورانگلستان سے بارایٹ لاء اور گھر کے بھی بڑے خوشحال تھے۔ لیکن قومی وملّی خدمت کاجذبہ شروع ہی سے تھا اس لیے اولاً تحریکِ خلافت اور پھر تحریکِ آزادی دونوں میں ہراوّل دستہ کے فرد رہے، اس جرم کی پاداش میں کئی مرتبہ جیل گئے اور قید وبند کی سختیاں انگیز کیں پھر قومی حکومت بنی توریاست اورمرکز دونوں میں وزیر رہے۔ کانگرس ورکنگ کمیٹی کے ممبر سالہا سال رہے ۔آل انڈیا کانگرس کمیٹی کے سکریٹری بھی رہ چکے تھے۔اوّل درجہ کے نیشنلسٹ ہونے کے باوجود دل اوردماغ دونوں کھلا رکھتے تھے۔ چنانچہ تقسیم کے بعد مسلسل فسادات ہوئے اور مسلمانوں کے ساتھ ناانصافی ختم نہیں ہوئی توانہوں نے قومی سطح پراس کاانسداد کرنے کی غرض سے مجلس مشاورت بنائی اور چند سال اس کے صدر کی حیثیت سے ملک کادورہ کیا لیکن جب انہوں نے محسوس کیاکہ ان کے چند رفیق اس پلیٹ فارم کو اپنے فرقہ پر ورانہ مقاصد کے لیے استعمال کررہے ہیں تو وہ اس سے الگ ہوگئے لیکن خانہ نشین پھر بھی نہیں ہوئے اورمسلمانوں کی فلاح و بہبود کے کاموں میں حِصّہ لیتے رہے۔مرحوم کا علمی اورادبی ذوق بھی بہت شگفتہ اورشائستہ تھا۔سیاسی مصرفیتوں میں تھوڑا بہت انگریزی اوراردو میں جو کچھ لکھا ہے بہت خوب لکھاہے۔ اخلاقی اعتبارسے نہایت باوضع، بامروت شریف الطبع اورخلیق بزرگ تھے۔ان کی وفات سے ملک میں عموماً اورمسلمانوں میں خصوصاً جوخلا پیدا ہواہے وہ پُرنہیں ہوسکے گا۔اللھم اغفرلہٗ وارحمہ۔ [اکتوبر ۱۹۷۱ء]

عائلی زندگی اور اُس کے مسائل سے متعلق ابنِ تیمیہ کے فقہی تفردات کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ An analytical study of Ibn Taymiyyah's jurisprudential distinctions Regarding Family Life and its problems

Marriage has been given the status of half-faith, based on which a family is formed, and society is established. Marriage is associated with issues of lineage and inheritance and a section of the Quran describes this subject. The jurists have explained in detail the issues of marriage, dowry, breastfeeding, 'iddah, and alimony under the book of marriage. Ibn Taymiyyah, like other jurisprudential issues, has differed from several jurists on issues related to marriage. For example, it is fair for a man to marry his wife's foster mother and foster daughter. Marriage can take place in any of the terms or words from which the meaning of marriage is derived. Like the father, the grandfather also has the right to marry a minor girl without her permission, it is permissible to marry, the wife has the right to terminate the marriage in case of defect in Haq-e-Mahr, etc. All such jurisprudential dissent will be explained with arguments so that one can be aware of Ibn Taymiyyah's dissent and the arguments behind it. KeyWords: Ibn e Taymiyyah, Jurisprudential Distinctions, Nikaḥ, Kitāb un-Nikaḥ Haq-e-Mahr.

Toxic Effects of Pregabalin and its Derivatives on Liver and Kidney by Using Rat Model

Drugs contain the different component with different dosage concentration and some of them cause the toxicity in liver and kidney. In current study, male wistar rats were divided into three groups and kept in the animal house of the University of Health Sciences Lahore under standard conditions. Group I was serve as control while Group II and III had given by benzaldehyde and salicyldehyde derivative of pregabalin for 28 days, respectively. The behavioral changes, body weight and eating habits were remained same in all groups. There was not mortality rate occur in all groups. After sacrificing the animals, it was observed that there is not morphological and gross change in the color and texture of the liver and kidney. Hematological analysis has not showed the any significant difference in leukocyte count and MCV, platelet count, hemoglobin concentration (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), erythrocyte count, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). Biochemical analysis showed the elevation in AST and creatinine while the vales of bilirubin, BUN and ALT remain normal.
