Many pesticides are carcinogenic chemical substances those have proved to be lethal for human. Therefore, the application of these chemicals should be controlled and claimed percentage of active content in pesticide formulations available in market should be maintained. In order to investigate presence of correct claimed percentage in all formulations, accurate, reliable and low cost methods are significantly required. Considering the importance of these methods, a research work was proposed to develop analytical method for simultaneous quantitative determination of active content in pesticide formulations. For all the studies, HPLC1-UV and HPLC2-UV were used. Seven methods were developed and validated by following ICH guidelines. In which dimethomorph and chlorothalonil; azoxystrobin, fludioxonil and metalaxyl-M; mesotrione, atrazine, benoxacor and s-metolachlor; bromoxynil heptanoate, bromoxynil octanoate and MCPA; clopyralid, tribenuron and fluroxypyr; imidacloprid; and fipronil, chlorfenapyr and pyriproxyfen as method 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 respectively were subjected to develop the simultaneous determination of mentioned pesticides. For optimization of each method, mobile phase, flow rate, stationary phase and wavelength were suitably selected. For all the methods except method 1, flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. For method 1: selected flow rate was 1.2 mL/min. For method 2 and 5: stationary phase was RP–18 end capped (5 μm, 4.6 mm x 25 cm) while, for rest of all methods, selected stationary phase was Beckman C-18 (5 μm, 4.6 mm x 15 cm). For all these methods, a mixture of acetonitrile and water was used as mobile phase. These mobile phase solvents were pumped on binary gradient mode with different ratio for different methods. The mobile phase composition (acetonitrile : water) for methods 1 and 7 was 80 : 20, for method 2; 50 : 50, for methods 3 and 6; 70 : 30 and for methods 4 and 5 was 85 :15. At the last, wavelengths were selected for each method for optimum chromatographic response of analytes. For which detection wavelength 230 nm, 220 nm, 212 nm and 270 nm; were selected for methods 1, 2, 5, 6, respectively and 260 nm for methods 3, 4 and 7. Finally, validation of all the developed methods was initiated following ICH guidelines implementing several parameters such as: system suitability test, linearity, LOD, LOQ, precision, accuracy and robustness. The system suitability test for all the developed methods were reported by investigating I asymmetry, capacity factor, and number of theoretical plates of all analytes for each method. Linearity of each developed method was determined by plotting calibration curve between chromatographic response and concentration of analyte. The correlation coefficient was found to be greater than 0.996 for all newly developed methods. LOD & LOQ were investigated based on standard deviation of chromatographic response and their respective slope from calibration curve data. For the validation of precision of methods, interday and intraday analysis of formulation were performed. The percent RSD were less than 2.0 for intraday analysis and less than 3.0 for interday analysis for all the methods. Accuracy for all the newly developed methods was checked by inter laboratory comparison (ILC) test among different laboratories. The Z-score values were calculated for each method in order to report the performance of all laboratories. The z-score values of all developed methods were exceptionally well in comparison with other participated laboratories. Robustness of the all methods were checked by making some deliberate changes in flow rate, mobile phase composition and wavelength for each newly developed method. No considerable change in response of analytes was observed upon above mentioned changes. This proved the robustness of all newly developed methods. Consequently, all the proposed methods can suitably be used for simultaneous quantitative determination of all studied pesticides in formulations for investigating active contents

مولوی عبدالرزاق کانپوری
ماتم گسارِ برامکہ کا ماتم
مولوی عبداراق صاحب کانپوری نے جو البرامکہ کے مصنف کی حیثیت سے مشہور تھے، پچاسی برس کی عمر میں، ۱۸؍ فروری ۱۹۴۸؁ء کو بمقام بھوپال اپنی نواسی کے گھر میں ۳ بجے رات کو یکایک انتقال کیا، وہ کچھ دنوں سے بیمار تھے، ان کے داماد ان کو علاج کی خاطر دلی لے گئے تھے، اور غرض یہ بھی تھی کہ ان کے بعض پچھلے مسودات وہاں چھپ جائیں کہ دلی میں ہنگامہ ہوا، اور لوگوں میں بھگڈر مچی، مولوی صاحب موصوف کو ان کے عزیز ہوائی جہاز سے بھوپال لائے، جہاں ایک زمانہ سے مختلف خدمتوں کے تعلق سے ۱ن کا قیام تھا۔
مرحوم سے میری ملاقات غالباً ۱۹۲۱؁ء میں لکھنو دارالعلوم ندوہ کے اندر اس وقت ہوئی جب علی گڑھ ایجوکیشنل کانفرنس کے سالانہ اجلاس کے سبب سے ملک کے اکابر و مشاہیر لکھنؤ آئے تھے، البرامکہ میں کم سنی میں پڑھ چکا تھا، مصنف سے واقف تھا شاہ سلیمان صاحب، پھلواروی اس زمانہ میں دارالعلوم میں قیام فرما تھے، مشتافوں کا ان کے پاس ہجوم تھا انہی میں مولوی عبدالرزاق صاحب تھے، شاہ صاحب نے ان کی طرف اشارہ کرکے مذاقاً فرمایا کہ یہ برامکہ صاحب ہیں، اس تعارف سے مجھے خوشی ہوئی۔
اس کے بعد ۱۹۰۵؁ء میں جب حضرۃ الاستاذ علامہ شبلی نعمانی ؒ حیدرآباد سے قطع کرکے دارالعلوم میں معتمد ہوکر آئے، تو مرحوم کی آمد ورفت بکثرت ہونے لگی، یہ وہ زمانہ تھا، جب مرحوم نظام الملک سلجوتی لکھ رہے تھے، اور اس سلسلہ سے اپنے مسودات مولانا کو دکھانے لاتے تھے اور ان سے مشورے چاہتے تھے۔
مرحوم کی علمی استعداد اس قدر تھی کہ وہ فارسی اچھی طرح جانتے تھے، اور عربی سے مانوس تھے، اور عبارت سے مطلب سمجھ لیتے تھے البرمکہ لکھتے وقت اس سے ہی کم واقفیت تھی،...

EFEKTIVITAS DAN EFISIENSI PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS BLENDED LEARNING DI MADRASAH TSANAWIYAH NEGERI MODEL PALU

The learning process in the Palu State Islamic Education Madrasah has run as it should, although in terms of strategies, methods, and learning media used varies according to the conditions, both the material and the condition of the students, and the ability of the teacher itself is different from one another. Blended learning based learning at the Palu Model State Islamic Education Madrasah is considered effective and efficient because teachers are not preoccupied with making material designs, simply accessing the internet is needed including practice in the form of videos so that it will facilitate teachers, both in terms of time, effort and cost. The challenge of blended learning is that teachers are required to be more creative and able to use internet networks. While the opportunity is the Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri Model Palu already equipped with network facilities and infrastructure that can support blended learning.

Thermoelectric, Electrical and Photonic Properties of Semiconductors

Thermal energy harvesting devices have many promising applications due to no emission of greenhouse gases during the process. Thermoelectric generators convert heat (temperature gradient) to electricity and thus the waste heat from different energy sources such as heat engines, automobiles and industry can be recovered to generate electricity. Therefore, thermoelectric devices are promising candidates for energy harvesting technologies. The characterization of thin film based organic semiconducting materials is a rapidly developing research and has received great attention because of their applications in low cost fabrication of electronic and photonic devices, such as, light sensitive junction diodes, sensors, solar cells, field-effect transistors, etc. In the research work reported in this dissertation thermoelectric, electrical, and photonic properties of the semiconducting thin films are undertaken for potential applications in the development of cost effective thermal energy harvesting technologies and electronic devices. In part I of this dissertation, energy harvesting from solution grown semiconductors via thermoelectric effect are discussed. For thermoelectric applications, three materials are investigated. The first material used is lead sulfide (PbS) grown from solution due to its inherent property of scalability. The solution grown PbS film consists of nanoclusters and has a high Seebeck coefficient, 450μV/K. The high Seebeck coefficient may be the result of increased contributions from junctions and boundary scattering of carriers occurring at interfaces between nanocrystallites, consistent with the scanning electron microscopy study of the film morphology. The solution-grown PbS technology may be well suited for energy-harvesting applications. The second and third materials are carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and organic polymer Poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene) Polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). In a homogeneous system (CNTs or PEDOT:PSS alone), the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity are interlocked by the Boltzman transport equation. Thus a heterogeneous layered system on a nano scale is developed from CNTs and PEDOT:PSS film to weaken the Boltzman transport and thus change the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity somewhat independently. Thus the thermoelectric properties are enhanced by making heterogeneous system. viiIn part II, the electrical properties of sandwich type heterojunctions are presented. Thin film of organic material cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) were deposited by vacuum thermal evaporation on p- and n-Si with aluminum (Al) as top electrode. The charge transport mechanism was studied and the mobility of the organic thin films, with p- and n-Si as substrate, was calculated. Different parameters of the junctions were extracted from the electrical characteristics such as rectification ratio, reverse saturation current, series/shunt resistances, ideality factor and barrier height. The effect of light on current-voltage characteristics were also studied to show the photonic behavior of CoPc/n-Si heterojunction. The electrical characterization is useful as preliminary studies for further utilization of the CoPc in other electronic devices.
