Groundwater quality is deteriorating due to ongoing heavy pumping of groundwater in Punjab, Pakistan. A geoelectrical resistivity survey study using Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) were conducted at Chaj Doab (land between river Jehlum and Chenab, Pakistan) and Rachna Doab (land between river Chenab and Ravi, Pakistan), with the objectives to locate low salinity groundwater aquifer layers for tubewell installation, tubewells auditing and to categorize different low salinity groundwater zones. The resistivity meter (ABEM Terrameter SAS 4000, Sweden) was used to collect the VES data by employing Schlumberger electrode configuration, with the half current electrodes spacings (AB/2) ranging from 2 to 180 m and the potential electrodes (MN) from 1 to 40 m. The field data were interpreted in terms of resistivity and the corresponding thickness of various sub-surface layers using “Interpex IX1D” computer software. This research study was completed in three phases to achieve its specific objectives in each phase. In the first phase six sites were selected to with three sites in each Doab. A total of ten VES surveys were conducted with three soundings at one site, two at other site and the rest of four sites were surveyed by single VES each. The outputs of the VES interpretation were verified using borehole data at all these six sites. The bore hole data of lithological and groundwater samples were collected from ground surface to 30 m depth with an interval of 1.5 m at all these sites. The correlation between VES data and borehole data was found to be in close agreement with each other. The combination of the VES data with the borehole data provided useful information on subsurface hydrogeologic conditions for tubewell installation and for further geoelectrical studies in the next phase. It was observed that the groundwater in the aquifers was fresh having EC < 1.5 dS/m with geoelectrical resistivity greater than 45 Ω-m, between 25 to 45 Ω-m was marginally-fit and less than 25 Ω-m was un-fit for irrigation. The results also showed that the effective depth of the current penetration ranged between 1/8 th to 1/2 of the outer current electrode spacings (AB/2). Than in the second phase six more sites were selected with three sites in each Doab to audit the salinity of groundwater extracted by existing tubewells. These sites were also subjected to VES surveys near to existing tubewells to find the depths and thickness of various subsurface layers having different salinities of groundwater. A total of 21 wells were audited in this study. Out these 21 tubewells, 8 were in un-fit aquifers layer, 7 in marginally fit aquifers, 4 in fit groundwater aquifers and two partially in fresh-saline layers. Nine tubewells are working fine and twelve need careful attentions. Out of these twelve tubewells three tubewells could be abandoned as only be used for shandying. Two tubewells were using extra energy by deep extraction of groundwater without any quality benefit. The other seven can be usefully converted from saline and marginally-fit to fresh groundwater wells by changing their depths. In the third phase, a total of ninety VES interpreted data spatially distributed over Chaj and Rachna Doabs was used, including ten of the 1 st and six of the 2 nd soundings with 43 in Chaj and 47 in Rachna Doab. The outputs (VES interpretation) of subsurface layers with resistivities and thickness were presented in contour maps and 3-D views by using SURFER software. The zones with low salinity groundwater either in shallow or deep aquifer were differentiated from brackish and saline groundwater. A total of 102 groundwater samples from nearby hand pumps and tubewells at different depths were also collected to verify previously developed correlation (1 st phase) and to get more closed approximation between the aquifer resistivity of VES and the Electrical Conductivity (EC) of the groundwater over the study area with R 2 =0.86.

مسجد سلطان حسن اور رفاعی مسجد

مسجد سلطان حسن اور رفاعی مسجد

قلعے کے دائیں طرف سلطان حسن اور بائیں جانب رفاعی مسجد کی بلند و بالا عمارات دامنِ دل کھینچتی ہیں ۔ان دونوں مساجد کے درمیان ایک کشادہ شاہرہ ہے جوان مساجد کے آخر میں ایک وسیع و عریض باغیچے میں اختتام پذیر ہوتی ہے ۔راستے کے دو نوں جانب دو فٹ چوڑی اور اتنی ہی اونچی دیوار ہے جس نے راستے کی حنا بندی کی ہوئی ہے ۔دکتورہ بسنت نے اپنے پرس سے ایک چادر نکالی اور اس دیوار پر بچھا دی ۔اس کے بعد انھوں نے ڈبل روٹی ، کھیرے ،پنیر اور جیم کی ایک ڈلی چادر کے اوپر چن دی ۔پرس کے اندرونی جیب سے چھری نکالی ڈبل روٹی کو درمیان سے کاٹا اس کے اندر کھیرے اور پنیر کو جیم لگا کر رکھ دیا اور ہمارے سامنے پیش کر دیا ۔دکتورہ بسنت کی اس پرخلوص دعوتِ شیراز پر کون نہ مرتا۔

مصری عورت فرعون کے زمانے سے تاحال بااختیار ہے ۔امورِخانہ داری سے امورِ حکمرانی تک یہ باہمت عورت پدر سری معاشرے میں بھی اپنے حقوق اور فرائض سے لطف اندوز ہوتی رہی ہے ۔دعوتِ شیراز کے بعد ہم الرفاعی مسجد کی طرف روانہ ہوئے تو ایک خاتون اور دو مرد ہماری طرف آئے اور مجھ سے پوچھا کہ آپ ہندوستان سے آئے ہیں ۔میں چونکہ شلوار قمیض میں تھا اس لیے ان کو میرے مصری نہ ہونے پر یقین ہو گیا۔میں نے کہا میں پاکستان سے ہوں ۔انھوں نے مجھے چالیس جنین کی ٹکٹ پکڑا دی تو میرے میزبانوںکو مصری محکمہ سیاحت والوںکی یہ حرکت بری لگی ۔احمد نے ان سے یہ کہا کہ یہ مسلمان ہیں ایک مسلمان کے مسجد میں داخل ہو نے پر آپ ان سے ٹکٹ لیں گے ؟انھوں نے کہا یہاں لوگ نماز توپڑھتے نہیں تاریخ...

الروائع البلاغية للتذييل في النثر، والشعر

The Holy Qur’ᾱn is the Last book of Allᾱh and a great miracle of the Holy Prophet (SAW) the like of which could not be produced by any of all times. The Language of the Qur’ᾱn is Arabic known for its brevity and eloquence. The reality of the Arabic Language can be summoned by acquaintance with “Tadhīīl” and eloquence. Neology is a part of eloquence and communication is a component of neology, encompassing many discernments and points of wisdom. The same is corroborated in galore in poetry along with Qur’ᾱn and Hadîth. This illustrates the text and defines the aim and purpose. The purpose aimed at embraces eneomism and eulogy, didactics and exhortations and felicitations. The dictionary and literary meaning of “Tadhīīl”, types of “Tadhīīl” and use of places has been stated. The examples of Qur’ᾱn, prose and poem have also been given, Where the word “Tadhīīl” has been used.

Cultural Diversity and Human Resource Development in Modern Organization

Hybrid human resource management system (exhibiting strong mechanism for cultural accommodation without loss of ‘identity’) is discovered in Shifa International Hospital as diffused Human Resource Management model (based on individualism, democratic relationship and gender egalitarianism) has been adopted to organize Pakistani workforce according to international standards. This thesis argues that Shifa system is working on synergistic approach while considering indigenous assumption of employee relations, besides international standards of employee management. This thesis identifies that the prevailing employee management practices exhibit plural characteristics reflecting both foreign and local traits as a resultant of the confluence of local (collective self - identification, in equality and gender segregation) and North American cultural values (individualism, equality, and gender egalitarianism). This research has also uncovered that embedded assumptions of obligatory relations fairly influence the execution of impersonal HR policy in Shifa through internal and external interventions. It finally, depicts hybrid organizational culture reflecting both local and foreign traits as a continuum of individualism-collectivism, equality-inequality and gender differentiation- egalitarianism.
