The base of herbal medicines extends to all the cultures of the world, from the Greeks to the Romans and the Arabs to China and, finally, to Central Asia, especially to Pakistan. The medical use of plants as treatment is an ancient tradition. There are many species of Lamiaceae that have a high demand for their ethnic and health activities but many of these members have an anti-inflammatory activity and releasing potential pain. Isodon is also a known genus of this family. I. rugosus belongs to the same family genus and is traditionally used by Pakistani practitioners to treat diseases associated with respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal complications. Therefore, it must be overcome with the traditional treatment regimen. In this sense, phyto-nanotechnology and production of metabolites by in vitro optimal conditions have gained much attention in recent years. In this research, different methods were used to improve the production of secondary metabolites. For this reason, elicitation is considered as one of the most effective strategies for growing calli which helps reduce these limitations. Based on our knowledge and survey of literature, this is the first report on the analysis of I. rugosus for the biological improvement of the target metabolite through in vitro techniques. The main objective of the first experiment was to optimize the in vitro cultural conditions for establishment and production of chemically consistent and reliable calli cultures of I. rugosus. The stem and leaf explants were the best source to understand the in vitro condition under different plant growth regulators (PGRs) to produce antioxidant and anti-aging compounds. Both TDZ and NAA in each concentration, tested with or without cytokinins, were responsible for the successful induction of stem friable callus culture. We chose the stem explant as the best source to start the callus culture on MS media. HPLC-DAD analysis of the crude extract revealed the presence of five biologically active phenolic compounds such as plectranthoic acid (373.92 μg/g DW), oleanolic acid (287.58 μg/g DW), betulinic acid (90.51 μg/g DW), and rosmarinic acid (1732.61 μg/g DW). Antioxidant activities were performed in vitro using six different tests: DPPH (TEAC), ABTS (TEAC), ORAC (TEAC), FRAP (AEAC), CUPRAC (AEAC), Chelation (µmol Fe2+). Elastase, collagenase, hyaluronidase, tyrosinase, AGE and SIRT-1 revealed that rosmarinic acid is an important contributor. Whereas, plectranthoic acid, oleanolic acid and betunilic acid is associated with the inhibitor of elastase, collagenase and tyrosinase. xv A promising alternative method used in in-vitro culture is the active stress inducer melatonin, a potential source of biologically active compounds, but there are few cultures that collect secondary metabolites compared to those produced in wild plants. The objective of the third experiment was to promote the production of biologically active compounds intended for biotechnological applications commercial purposes through elicition. According to phytochemical analysis using a different concentration of melatonin, the concentration at 5 µM giving the highest concentration of phenols 2877.5 ± 46.45 (mg / l) and flavonoids 560.4 ± 15.24 (mg / l), after five weeks of cultivation. The data also showed a strong inhibitory effect of callus extract treated with melatonin at 5 µM vs. α-amylase (42.50%) and hepG2 cells (cell sensitivity 60.46 ± 1.6 %, cell death 39.54 ± 1.2 %) and finally against AChE (51,364 ± 1.1) and BChE (40.188 ± 0.47). The quantitative analysis revealed the presence of rosmarinic acid, caffeine acid, plectranthoic acid, betulinic and oleanolic in all melatonin treated extracts, possesing pharmacological properties which was further confirmed by enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant assays. Here, we also explore the potential uses of various biological sources such as pH and temperature for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and the clinical application of these nanoparticles. Thus, aim of the third experiment was to understand the effects of temperatures (100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 5 and 0 °C) on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using TDZ- mediated callus extract (CE) and the wild plant extract (WPE) of I. rugosus as reducing and capping agent. Our results showed a synergy between AgNPs and phytochemistry against antimicrobials and leishmaniasis control activities, will increase their therapeutic potential. The morphological and functional characterization of the biologically-synthesized AgNPs prepared by temperature variation has been confirmed by X-Ray, XRD, SEM, EDX and FTIR spectroscopy. The NPs of both crystals i.e. CE and WPE, confirmed the spherical crystals of various sizes. Surprisingly, the CE-AgNPs synthesized at 60 °C have better antibacterial and antileishmanial activities as compared to WPE-AgNPs. In the fourth experiment, we studied that physical parameters such as pH, salt concentration and reaction time were able to regulate the shape of NPs of ZnO. The reduction of zinc acetate dehydrates into hexagonal ZnO (CE) and triangular ZnO (WPE) NPs has considerable potential as therapeutic point of view. The determination xvi was made by using UV-spectra, XRD, FTIR, SEM and EDX. In addition, NPs were evaluated for their potential cytotoxic (against HepG2 cell line) and antimicrobial (against drug resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) activities. It was found that these activities are depend on the shape and charge on the surface of phytochemicals. Current research focuses on the application of several in vitro tissue culture techniques used in the production of important antioxidant metabolites with a systematic approach to improve their production. These technologies provide a stable, reliable and renewable source of valuable pharmaceutical products and can be widely used. In addition to the therapeutic value of the secondary metabolites, the biologically synthesized NPs have other commercial applications such as face cream, sunscreen, anti-aging creams, cosmetics, pesticides and biological sensors etc.

مشہور مصادر سیرت كے اسالیب كا علمی جائزہ

Some famous books ofSeerah and Maghazi have been discussed in the given article. The important thing in the distinguished status of these books is the non-availability of their sources (Masadar) . The reasonfor its being unauathoritative is that early writers ofSeerah are mostly Tabaeen and Taba Tabeen. They did not refer to the original source (Masdar) because in those days the events of Seerah were verbally narrated and directly listened. Special gatherings and sittings, regarding Seerah were arranged in Masajids. Only those writers of Seerah have mentioned the sources (Masadar) , who had deep knowledge of Hadith; others have recorded different events ofSeerah in their books, without any scrutiny and investigation. This caused the penetration of certain invalid events in this field, which has been strongly objected by the non-Muslim scholars in their books.

The Use of Materials Resources in Teaching Mathematics in Primary Classroom

A small-scale action research was conducted to explore and understand the possibilities and challenges involved in helping teachers to use resources in the teaching and learning of primary mathematics. The study was conducted in a private school in Pakistan with one teacher and her forty-five students. As the main purpose of the research was to help the teacher to improve her use of resources in teaching primary mathematics several teacher learning strategies were adopted to support the teacher to effectively use resources in the classroom. These strategies included: learning through observing the lesson demonstrated by the teacher educator, co-teaching, developing resources, and reflective discussions. The study lasted for seven weeks. The data was collected through various qualitative data collection tools such as observation, interview, tape-recording of the discussions and teacher's and researcher's reflections. According to the literature, resources, if they are planned and presented to the students in an appropriate way, play an important role in teaching mathematics. However, if the teacher does not have the knowledge and skills for using the materials in the mathematics lesson, the children might get confused. Therefore, the study is focused on a primary school teacher's use of resources in order to explore the possibilities and challenges faced by the teacher educator while supporting her in learning to use resources effectively. The study reveals that resources play an important role in teaching mathematics at the primary level and that the teacher's role in helping children to understand mathematical concepts is crucial. The data also reveals that the teacher believes that she needs continuous professional support in terms of use of resources in teaching primary mathematics.
