Proposed study was an effort to investigate the antimicrobial and nutraceutical worth of black and green cardamom extracts. For the purpose, cardamom powders were analyzed followed by the supercritical fluid extraction, GC-MS quantification, estimation of antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of the extracts. Afterwards, encapsulation of cardamom essential oils in guar gum and whey protein isolates blends and finally bio-evaluation trial was carried out for the management of hypercholesterolemia, liver and renal malfunctioning. In present study, supercritical fluid extraction technique was used to obtain high extraction efficiency. In terms of antioxidant potential, black cardamom showed higher amount of polyphenols than green cardamom as 1325.03±7.69 and 934.72±6.94 mg GAE/100g for TPC, 208.63±10.36 and 192.45±9.62 μmol Fe2+/g for FRAP, 172.58±6.14 and 143.96±7.38 μM Trolox/g for ABTS, 63.57±3.48 and 56.81±2.01 % for DPPH assays. However, total flavonoids contents were present in greater amount in green cardamom compared to black cardamom investigated as 215.74±6.32 and 168.25±5.26 mg CE/g. GC-MS quantification indicated that 1,8-cineole (44.24% and 28.71%) and α-terpinyl acetate (12.25% and 38.4%) were the principle components in black and green cardamom essential oils which were responsible for pungency and pleasant aroma, respectively. Moreover, antimicrobial evaluation revealed that green cardamom extract exhibited more inhibitory effects than black cardamom extract on the growth of microorganisms, quorum sensing inhibition of C. violaceum and biofilm formation inhibition of S. typhimurium and E. coli. The results related to encapsulation of black and green cardamom supercritical fluid extracts showed that encapsulation efficiency, entrapment capacity and moisture content ranged between 63.54% to 84.72%, 5.77% to 7.08% and 5.81% to 6.33% in freeze dried capsules. On the basis of encapsulation efficiency, one from black and one from green cardamom encapsulates were used for cupcakes development and in the preparation of nurtaceutical diets. Cupcakes containing green cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) extract produced good aroma while taste was good with the cupcakes prepared from black cardamom (Amomum subulatum) extract. The diets contained green cardamom (D1) and black cardamom (D2) encapsulated essential oils were prepared alongside control (Do) for comparison purpose. Bio-evaluation study conducted on male Sprague Dawley rats, accordingly two different studies were designed on the basis of diets i.e. study I (rats fed on normal diet) and study II (rats were given high cholesterol diet). The body weights of experimental rats were significantly effected with diets in both studies. Black cardamom encapsulated extract (D2) instigated highest reduction in weight gain during the study period. Likewise, D2 imparted maximum decrease in total cholesterol levels in study I and II, by 4.42% and 12.53% whereas LDL by 6.75% and 14.08% respectively. However, levels of HDL and triglycerides were effected non-significantly by diets in study I but effects were significant in study II. Likewise, D2 instigated maximum reduction in urea and creatinine levels in study I and II i.e. 8.63% and 19.25% and 9.2% and 20.46%. Furthermore, diets resulted improved antioxidant status by increasing glutathione levels and decreasing thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Amongst diets, black cardamom encapsulated extract (D2) was proved more effective for glutathione contents enhancement during the investigation in study II. The restoration/stabilization of liver function tests towards normal ranges proved the safety of resultant therapeutic diets. From the current explorations, results concluded that diets supplemented with encapsulated black and green cardamom essential oils were efficient tool to mitigate lifestyle related disorders.

سید نجیب اشرف ندوی
افسوس ہے کہ دارالمصنفین کی پرانی بزم کے ایک ممتاز رکن اور ندوہ کے نامور فرزند سید نجیب اشرف صاحب ندوی نے ۴؍ستمبر کو بمبئی میں انتقال کیا، مرحوم دارالمصنفین کے ابتدائی دور کے رفقاء میں تھے، سید صاحب رحمتہ اﷲ علیہ کے ہم وطن اور قریبی عزیز تھے، ان کی ندوہ کی مدرسی کے زمانہ میں دارالعلوم میں داخل ہوئے، مگر ابتدائی تعلیم کے بعد ہی انگریزی کی طرف چلے گئے، پھر خلافت اور نان کو اپریشن کی تحریک کے زمانہ میں تعلیم ترک کرکے ۱۹ یا ۲۰ء میں دارالمصنفین آگئے اور ان تحریکوں میں سرگرم حصہ لیا، ان کے خاتمہ کے بعد کلکتہ میں تعلیم کی تکمیل کی اور فارسی میں ایم۔اے کیا، وہ بڑے ذہین اور ہونہار تھے، ان کی اٹھان بہت اچھی تھی، چنانچہ کلکتہ کے قیام کے زمانہ میں سرجدو ناتھ سرکار کی زیر نگرانی اورنگزیب کے رقعات جمع اور مرتب کیے اور اس پر ایک مبسوط اور ضخیم مقدمہ لکھا، جو مقدمہ رقعات عالمگیر کے نام سے ایک مستقل جلد میں شائع ہوا، اس میں فن انشاء اور شاہانہ احکام و مراسلات کی تاریخ اور عالمگیر کی انشاء کی خصوصیات وغیرہ پر روشنی اور اس کی شہزادگی سے لے کر برادرانہ جنگ کے زمانہ تک کے واقعات و سوانح پر ان مکاتیب کی روشنی میں تنقیدی نگاہ ڈالی گئی ہے، اس لیے یہ مقدمہ اس دور کی اورنگزیب کی مستند ترین تاریخ ہے، اس کے بعد اصل کتاب رقعات کا پہلا حصہ رقعات عالمگیر جلد اول کے نام سے شائع ہوا جو اورنگزیب کی شاہزادگی کے زمانہ سے لے کر برادرانہ جنگ کے زمانہ تک کے خطوط پر مشتمل ہے باقی جلدوں کا مواد بھی اکٹھا کرلیا تھا، جس کی ترتیب کا موقع تعلیمی زندگی اختیار کرلینے کی وجہ سے نہ مل سکا، دارالمصنفین کے قیام...

Developing Students Speaking Skills in a Multilingual Classroom

In Pakistan English, as a Foreign and as a Second Language, is being taught from primary classes. In such classes teaching is based on rote-memorization with little meaningful activities. Teachers provide very few opportunities to students to relate their learning with their experiences in daily life. Students are mostly asked to listen passively to the teacher or read from the textbook and copy down the answers from the blackboard or from the textbook and memorize them in order to re produce them in the examinations. The study was undertaken to explore how ESL teachers could be helped to develop their students' speaking skills in ESL multilingual classroom. Using an action research approach within the qualitative paradigm, the students were engaged in different activities, which allowed the teacher and the researcher to examine the effectiveness of the strategies employed in developing students' speaking skills in English. Data collection in this study occurred in three stages. At the reconnaissance stage, observations and semi-structured interview were conducted in order to explore the teacher's understanding, and her existing practices in developing students' speaking skills in English. At the initial implementation stage, the researcher tried and tested out some strategies recommended as effective in developing students' speaking skills in English in order to examine their effectiveness in developing students' speaking skills in the multilingual school contexts, where this research was conducted. At the second implementation stage, the participant teacher was provided with the opportunity to try out the strategies in her classroom, and see the effectiveness of the strategies in developing students speaking skills in English.
