Sixty maize accessions were evaluated under normal and drought stress treatments. Selected tolerant and sensitive accessions were crossed in Line ´ Tester fashion and resultant F1 along with their parents were evaluated for drought tolerance in green house and field conditions. Data were recorded on morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters to estimate genetic variability, general and specific combining ability effects, heterosis manifestation, gene action, correlation and path analyses.Genetic variation among the entries under normal and drought stress treatments, indicated that this breeding material may be used for the development of drought tolerant types. Combining ability analysis exhibited variable direction and magnitude of general combining ability (GCA) effects among lines and testers and specific combining ability effects (SCA) among crosses. Lines 19191, 15139 and 15280 and testers 15104, 15064 and 15268 were best general combiners under normal and drought stress treatments. Results of SCA indicated that crosses 15139 × 15066, 15188 × 15091, 19179 × 15104, 19203 × 24669, 15280 × 15064 and 15158 ×15064 were best specific combiners. Crosses 15139 × 15104, 15139 × 15066, 15188 × 15091, 19179 × 15268 and 19179 × 15104 had also mid parent and better parent heterosis for various traits under all the treatments. Non-additive type of gene action was observed for all the traits. Association of traits based on correlation analysis showed that plant height, cobs per plant, kernels per row and kernels per cob had significant and positive correlation with grain yield per plant under normal and water deficit conditions. Path analysis revealed that days to 50% tasseling had highest positive direct effect on grain yield per plant under normal and chlorophyll b contents under stress field condition.

مولانا صبغۃ اﷲ شہیدؔ فرنگی محلی

مولانا صبغۃ اﷲ شہیدؔ فرنگی محلی
افسوس ہے گزشتہ مہینہ جناب مولانا صبغۃ اﷲ شہیدؔ فرنگی محلی لکھنؤ سے بقصدِ ڈھاکہ روانہ ہوکر کلکتہ پہنچے تھے کہ اچانک دوتین مرتبہ استفراغ ہوا،اوراس کے بعد ہی بیہوش ہوئے توپھر ہوش میں نہ آئے، آخر تین روز تک اسی عالم میں رہ کر ہسپتال میں جان جانِ آفریں کے سپرد کردی اور رہ گزائے عالم جاودانی ہوگئے۔ اناﷲ واناالیہ راجعون۔ عمرستر۷۰ کے لگ بھگ ہوگی، مگر قویٰ اچھے خاصے تھے۔ وفات سے ایک ماہ قبل ہی لکھنؤ میں حسب معمول مکان پرحاضری دی تو ہمیشہ کی طرح نہایت گرم جوشی اور تپاک سے ملے، بچّوں اور بچّیوں کوبلواکر سلام کرایا، پُرتکلّف چاء سے تواضع کی اور دیر تک اس شگفتہ مزاجی اورخوش طبعی کے ساتھ گفتگو فرماتے رہے کہ اس کاوہم وگمان بھی نہیں ہوسکتا تھاکہ اب دنیا میں ایک مہینہ کے اور مہمان ہیں۔ مولانا فرنگی محل کے ممتاز علماء میں سے تھے، ایک زمانہ میں آپ کی خطابت کی بڑی دھوم تھی،سیرت اور شہادت پرخصوصاً بڑی پُرجوش اور ولولہ انگیز تقریر کرتے تھے۔ شاعر اوراردو کے زبان دان اورادیب بھی اسی پایہ کے تھے، نعت گوئی میں خصوصاً بڑاکمال تھا۔گفتگو بھی ایسی ہی شیریں و دل چسپ اورادبی وعلمی لطائف وظرائف سے پُر ہوتی تھی۔ قدیم اودھ کی شرافت اور وضع داری، ہمدردی اورغمگساری مرحوم کی طبیعت اور جبلّت تھی۔ راقم الحروف جب کبھی مکان پرحاضر ہوتا تواُن کے ہاں گویا عید آجاتی تھی،ہرخط دعاؤں سے اور شفقت بزرگانہ کے بیساختہ اظہار سے پُرہوتاتھا۔ آنحضرت ﷺ اورآپ کے آل واصحابِ کرام کے ساتھ عشق ومحبت اس درجہ تھاکہ بسااوقات ذکر کرتے کرتے روپڑتے تھے۔ مرحوم، بزرگانِ سلف کے اُس کاروانِ رفتہ کی بقیہ یادگاروں میں سے تھے جس کے دیکھنے کوآنکھیں ترستی ہیں مگر اب اُس کارواں کی گرد کفِ پابھی نظر نہیں آتی۔سدار ہے نام...

ضلع سوات کے آثارِ قدیمہ کا اسلامی احکام کی روشنی میں تحقیقی جائزہ

Swat valley with reference to its history is a famous region. Many civilizations originated in this land and that’s where they ended. Buddhism had a golden age in swat. Hinduism had also been in this land for some time. Artifacts from Greece and the Kushan period are also found here. The artifacts and traces of all these civilizations still exist in swat today. Similar artifacts have been discovered by the efforts of experts however, the gravity of the earth chest is much greater. Swat archeology is threatened by human population and some religious misunderstanding. Protecting Non-Muslim places of worship and respecting their emotions is a part of Islamic teachings. This paper describes the sharī‛ah rules of archeology and also different types of archeological sites like buildings, worship places and mentioning the orders related to idols etc.

An Empirical Study of Investor Behavior in Karachi Stock Exchange, Pakistan

Over the last four decades financial market researchers come up with a resounding evidence about the influence of investors’ behavior on their investment decision making. This is in contrast to conventional economics and finance literature developed over the years. In the pursuit to be counted as pure science, economists and conventional finance researchers ignored the possible effect of different behavioral aspects on investment decision making. They assumed that investors are rational and financial markets are perfect. But this line of thinking was unable to explain the events which unfolded in financial markets over 1980s to 2000s. During the same period, behavioral economics and finance got more and more importance and acceptance in the field of economics and finance. The field of behavioral finance is fairly new in Pakistan therefore this study aims at exploring the possible effect of investor behavior on investment decision. This study tests two behavioral models, investor regret aversion and investor overconfidence, in Pakistani financial markets. Using primary data, collected through a survey instrument, from a sample of 229 investors using simple and multiple linear regression models, a strong support is found for the two models. All four alternative hypotheses of investor regret aversion model are accepted using both simple and multiple linear regression models. On the other hand, four out of five alternate hypotheses are accepted based on both simple and multiple linear regression models. The study couldn’t find a strong support for the moderation effect of demographic variables in the two models. The results, however, show that investor overconfidence decreases with increase in investor age, experience and value of portfolio. All of the findings either support the findings of historical studies or in accordance with the basic theories in the area of behavioral finance and economics. There are certain limitations of this study and therefore further research is required, as suggested in the future research directions, to get an in-depth understanding of investor behavior in Pakistani financial markets.
