Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a versatile class of porous crystalline materials constructed from metal nodes and organic linkers. Postsynthetic modification (PSM) has emerged as an important late-stage approach to functionalizing MOFs. The introduction of the desired functional groups via PSM strategies requires chemical handles or tags within the MOFs‟ lattice though appropriate linker molecules during their synthesis. Click reactions offer dynamic covalent chemistries that result in changes of surface properties by allowing very fast and reversible reactions under mild condition. The present work demonstrates the synthesis of amine functionalized metal organic frameworks followed by the post synthetic modification via various strategies involving click chemistry.A thermally reversible Diels– Alder ligation between cyclopendienyl (Cp) groups functionalized MOFs (NH2-MIL-88B-Fe and ML-88B-Fe) and small molecules bearing maleimide groups was employed to fabricate MOFs with switchable chemical nature. The thermally induced Hetero Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions between cyclopendienyl (Cp) groups grafted on NH2-MIL-53-Al and dithioester based moieties were performed to prepare MOFs able to reprogrammable chemical nature. Maleimide group containing molecules of markedly different chemical nature were utilized to demonstrate the reversible switching of functionalities on furan groups containing MOF (NH2-UiO-66-Zr) presenting an unprecedented concept of a MOF that may be transformed to perform distinct functions simply by switching their chemical functionalities. The potential of thiol-ene click chemistry was utilized to postsynthetically modify MOF (IRMOF-3-Zn). The thiol–maleimide Michael addition approach allows the maleimide bearing frameworks to graft cysteine based biomolecules. All the results in the presented thesis were supported by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis.

شریمتی اندرا گاندھی

شریمتی اندرا گاندھی
شریمتی گاندھی اب اس دنیائے فانی میں نہیں رہیں، کچھ نادان، وطن دشمن اور ناعاقبت اندیش مردوں کے پستول اور اسٹن گن سے نہیں، بلکہ ان کی بے رحمی، بے دردی اور سفاکی کی گولیوں کا نشانہ بنیں اور امر ہوکر سب سے رخصت ہوگئیں۔
دو مردوں نے ایک ۶۷ سالہ عورت کو اپنی بائیس گولیوں کا نشانہ نہیں بنایا بلکہ دنیا کے تمام مردوں کے مردانہ پن کی تذلیل کی، انسانیت کی گردن شرم سے جھکادی اور وطن کی ناموس خاک میں ملادی، مگر خود شریمتی اندرا گاندھی کی عظمت، جلالت اور صولت میں چار چاند لگادیا، ان کی وفات اپنی فطری موت سے ہوتی تو ان کی عزت، مقبولیت اور محبوبیت میں اتنا اضافہ نہ ہوتا جتنا کہ اب ہوا، گلابوں اور سورج مکھیوں سے لدی ہوئی ان کی ارتھی بحری، ہوائی اور برّی لشکریوں کے دستوں کی معیت اور لاکھوں عقیدت مندوں کے جلو میں روانہ ہوئی، تو ایسا معلوم ہورہا تھا کہ پنڈت جواہر لال نہرو کی لاڈلی، ہندوستان کی بیٹی اور سیاست کی دیوی اپنے میکے سے فنا کی سہاگن بنی ہوئی بے پناہ آنسوؤں کا جہیز لے کر وداع ہورہی ہے، سو سے زیادہ ملکوں کے ممتاز نمائندے ان کے احترام میں جھکے ہوئے تھے، مردوں اور عورتوں کا بے پناہ سوگوار ہجوم زبان حال سے کہہ رہا تھا کہ ہندوستان کی فضا پر جب تک سورج کی روشنی چمکتی رہے گی، چاند کی چاندنی پھیلتی رہے گی اور شبنم کے قطرے یہاں کے پھولوں کو تازہ اور شاداب کرتے رہیں گے، ہندوستان کی تاریخ میں شریمتی اندرا گاندھی کا نام باقی رہے گا۔
کچھ سیاسی شخصیتیں ایسی ہوتی ہیں جو زمانہ کے سپرد ہوجاتی ہیں، مگر کچھ سیاسی شخصیتیں ایسی بھی ہوتی ہیں جن کے سپرد زمانہ ہوجاتا ہے، اندرا گاندھی کی شخصیت ایسی تھی جس کے...

Classical Works on Islamic Political Order: Critical Evaluation of the Methodology of the Modern Scholars

As Muslim scholarship generally treated with the issues relating to rebellion in the manuals of creed, Western scholars and many modern Muslim scholars generally overlooked them. Moreover, when some of them focused on manuals of law-proper where the rules for regulating the conduct of hostilities during rebellion are elaborated, they pick and choose between the views of the jurists belonging to various schools presuming that jurists of various schools followed a common legal theory. The present paper after critically evaluating the methodology of these scholars concludes that every school of law represents a distinct and internally coherent legal theory and as scuh mixing the views of the various schools leads to analytical inconsistency. Hence, it suggests that scholars woking on the legality of rebellion from the perspective of Islamic law should focus on proper legal sources and should adopt a principle-based approach instead of mixing the views of the various schools which are founded on different, sometimes, conficting legal principles.

Unearthing Literacy Conceptions of Middle School Students: A Qualitative Exploration

Contemporary views of literacy treat it as a set of technical skills. Once mastered, the economic rewards can be gained. However, the socio-cultural model of literacy believes that contextual and cultural dynamics have a considerable effect on literacy acquisition. Using principles of grounded theory, this research study sought to explore how middle-school students in an adopted government school in Karachi, perceived and conceptualized literacy. Preliminary interviews and sessions were conducted with participants to explore their conceptions and beliefs about literacy. The sessions were loosely structured sought to explore what participants had deemed important as per the ethos of grounded theory. The interviews and sessions were coded in ATLAS.ti, a software for coding qualitative data. Axial coding was employed to ascertain micro and macro themes. Findings indicate that participants' definition of literacy is fluency of verbal English. Participants were cognizant of Urdu's status as a national language but believed that English superseded Urdu in importance. They associated social and economic gains with being literate and idealized complete fluency in English communication (their conception of literacy). Their emphasis on literacy's potential of communication indicates a need to reorient literacy instruction accordingly. Overall, the participants' view of literacy as English fluency was fluid, integrating tenets from both socio-cultural and autonomous theories of literacy.
