The present study consists of five chapters. Chapter 1: Deals in the Epidemiology of Fasciolosis in crossbred cattle. It was undertaken at slaughter houses, livestock farms, veterinary hospitals and in household crossbred cows under different climatic conditions in four districts of Punjab Province. Infection rate 18.75%, 15.17%, 15.67% and 13.50% at slaughter houses, livestock farms, veterinary hospitals and in household crossbred cows was recorded respectively. Overall the highest season wise prevalence was recorded 36.50% during autumn and the lowest was recorded 7.88% during summer season. It was also observed that the highest infection rates were recorded in older crossbred cows (above two years of age) than younger (below two years of age). Sex wise prevalence indicated that males were commonly more affected than females. Prevalence was the highest at Sialkot 17.92% followed by Lahore 17.67%, Attock 17.25% and Multan 10.25%. Chapter 2: Deals in the prevalence and ecology of snails. In the present study seven snail genus belonging to Pulmonata and Prosobranchia classes were collected from four districts (Lahore, Sialkot, Attock and Multan) of Punjab Province. These genus were namely Lymnaea, Indoplanorbis, Bulinus, Physa, Gyraulus, Bellamaya and Oncomelania. District wise prevalence of snails was the highest at Sialkot 16.34% followed by Attock 14.15%, Lahore 11.53% and Multan 9.33%. Season wise prevalence of snails was higher in Summer season and Autumn followed by Spring and lowest during Winter. Factors affecting snails population were also studied under field conditions including temperature humidity, rainfall and pan evaporation. Chapter 3: Deals in the role of meteorological data in the prevalence of parasites and snails. Temperature plays very vital role in the onset of disease. Temperature has affects on the metabolic processes of both, snails host and parasite, thus interfering with parasite reproduction within the snail, snail growth and snail survival rate development of various larval stages of fasciolosis takes place within and outside of snail. At temperature 100C little development of larval stages of parasites takes place. No cercarial transmission occurs at 50C. The ideal temperature range is 22 – 250C where development within the snail takes place in an efficient manner similarly humidity range from 55 – 70% is ideal for the cercariae and snail. Rainfall is very important to complete the life cycle of Fasciolosis and also it helps in the spread of cercariae from one place to other. The role of pan evaporation has also been discussed by various workers. Chapter 4: Deals in the therapeutic trials against Fasciolosis in crossbred cows. For this purpose a total of one hundred and ten crossbred cows were used in eleven controlled experiments to compare the efficacy of certain indigenous herbal drugs, including Nigella sativa seeds, Fumaria parviflora aerial parts, Flemingia macrophylla aerial parts and with one allopathic drug Triclabendazole against Fasciolosis. Efficacy was quantified by determining the difference of eggs count per gram faeces (EPG) on pre and post treatment. Firstly, with Nigella sativa seeds, on 1st dose of 80, 100 and 120 mg/kg body weight at 18th day the EPG reduced to 46.34%, 51.35% and 66.67% respectively and after the 2nd dose at 28th day the respective reduction in EPG was 82.93%, 89.19% and 97.44%. Secondly, with Fumaria parviflora on 1st dose of 80, 100 and 120 mg/kg body weight at 18th day the EPG reduced to 53.66%, 56.10% and 50% respectively and after the 2nd dose at 28th day the respective reduction in EPG was 85.37%, 90.24% and 90.48%. Thirdly, with Flemingia macrophylla on 1st dose of 80, 100 and 120 mg/kg body weight at 18th day the EPG reduced to 64.10%, 73.17% and 74.36% respectively and the after the 2nd dose at 28th day the respective reduction in EPG was 87.18%, 92.68% and 94.87%. Fourthly, with Triclabendazole suspension on 1st dose of 10 mg/kg body weight at 18th day the EPG reduced to 67.50% and on 2nd dose at 28th day the EPG reduced up to 97.50%. Chapter 5: These herbal drugs played a vital role on various blood parameters when treatment was rendered to infected animals. During infection serum enzymes were recorded as SGOT (85.37u/L), SGPT (45.40u/L) and LDH (4157.83u/L) which were decreased to approximately normal values after treatment as SGOT (78.50u/L), SGPT (43.97u/L) and LDH (4042.47u/L) respectively. Whereas, some increase in serum electrolyte of infected animals was observed i.e. sodium (140 mmol/L) and magnesium (0.16 mmol/L) but a little increase in calcium (0.56 mmol/L) and potassium (5.82 mmol/L). When infected animals were treated with these herbal and allopathic drugs it played a vital role on various blood parameters and reduced the elevated values of serum electrolytes as sodium (134.43 mmol/L), magnesium (0.15 mmol/L), calcium (0.54 mmol/L) and potassium (5.07 mmol/L).

الأبعاد النفسية والتربوية في نظر سيدنا عمر بن الخطاب تجاه القدس

When looking at the history of every human civilization, one may find some people or places that go down in history, and their biography does not disappear until God inherits the land and those on it. One of these places is the city of Jerusalem, a city where no two differ on its importance. A city that is home for sanctuaries, history, and monuments and every inch speaks of its greatness. Especially in the history of Islam, which linked it wonderfully to the Qibla of Muslims (the Sacred Mosque) after it was the first Qibla in the history of Islam. This high standing link was perpetuated by the Holy Qur’an in Surat Al-Isra and in many other places. This research has shown its importance to Muslims, the reason Muslims love it and their dedication to defending every single grain of its sand, and how did the esteemed Companions view it? This research spoke about some of the aspects that are related to the personality of our master Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, (which are the psychological and educational aspects) while looking at the importance of Jerusalem to him, may God be pleased with him, which existed since pre-Islamic time and how it extended to the time of Islam and has emerged during his caliphate, may God be pleased with him.

Analysis of Alternative Extension Approaches to Technology Dissemination and its Utilization for Sustainable Agricultural Development in the Punjab, Pakistan

Agriculture is the single largest sector and dominating driving force for growth and development of Pakistan‟s economy. Its share in GDP is 24% and employs 48.4% of the total work force of the country. It also provides raw materials for the agro-based industries and adds sustainability to Pakistan‟s export earnings. At present the average yields of various crops are low as compared to their potential yields and also to those of the advanced countries. The research advancements made in the field of agriculture indicate that the available technologies have much potential, which is not being properly exploited by the farmers. The research studies indicate that lack of proper dissemination of agricultural technologies among the farmers is still of one of the major causes for their non-adoption by the farmers. For the effective dissemination of agricultural technologies among the farmers, many extension approaches have been implemented from time to time. At present three main approaches are working in the country: public sector extension approach (PSEA), participatory extension approach (PEA) and commodity specialized extension approach (CSEA) for the guidance and education of the farmers, but still the extension‟s role does not appear to be much effective. However, each approach has some strengths, which may be used by other approaches for the improvement of extension work. Keeping in view this situation, the present study was planned to analyze these three approaches in the context of technology dissemination and its utilization by the farmers. For this purpose the data were collected from 360 respondents taken from the farmers of the three selected approaches by selecting an equal sample of 120 respondents each, from 10 randomly selected villages of tehsil Chak Jhumra of Faisalabad district in which the three approaches are simultaneously in operation. A comparison of the three selected approaches was made against the selected parameters like sustainability, farmers‟ participation, women participation, linkages development, knowledge gain, technology utilization, diversification, competence of extension field staff (EFS), effectiveness of extension messages, effective use of extension methods, responsiveness to various categories of rural people, organization of target groups, responsiveness to national policies and goals and overall perception of the farmers regarding these approaches. The collected data were analysed by using frequency distributions, weighted scores, analysis of variance, standard variation and LSD values. The Chi-square was also used for computing relationship between the socio-economic characteristics of therespondents and some dependent variables like farmers‟ participation, knowledge gain and technology utilization. The results indicated that PSEA was a better approach than PEA and CSEA with regard to the introduction of sustainable agricultural practices among the farmers. PEA had provided more opportunities to the farmers for their participation in extension programme development than the PSEA and CSEA. PSEA and CSEA had absolutely provided no opportunity for women participation at any stage of extension programme development whereas the women were given opportunities for their participation in PEA. PSEA had developed more linkages with various categories of farmers and agricultural allied agencies than those of PEA and CSEA. PEA was the approach that had covered all the diversified areas whereas rest of the two approaches were not putting sufficient efforts in providing coverage. PEA was a better approach than the other two approaches (PSEA and CSEA). PSEA was ranked at the top with regard to the knowledge gain regarding crop production and protection practices by the farmers, whereas PEA and CSEA were rated as 2 nd and 3 rd respectively. As regards the technology utilization by the farmers PSEA, PEA and CSEA were rated 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd respectively. PSEA got the highest score among the selected approaches with regard to competence of extension field staff. The extension messages were well prepared in PSEA than those of PEA and CSEA. PEA was responsive to more categories of rural people as compared to the other two approaches (PSEA and CSEA). The EFS of PSEA used the extension methods more effectively than those of PEA and CSEA. The EFS of PEA was more serious in organizing the target groups among the rural communities than the other two approaches (PSEA and CSEA). According to the overall perceptions of the farmers, the PEA was a better approach followed by the PSEA and CSEA.
