The nature of jobs, across the globe, is becoming more complex and demanding since last few decades. Today, the technological innovations, growing competition, and pressure of performance at the workplace are inducing the organizations to take necessary steps to make their workforce more productive. Scholars suggest that organizations under such circumstances exert pressure to perform better that results in negative consequences for both the organizations and the individuals. The purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of two important workplace stressors such as time pressure and workload on desirable job behaviors (i.e. in-role job performance, OCB and creative performance). The study also examined the effects of big five personality traits (Emotional Stability, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience) on these job outcomes. In addition, the study examined the role of personality traits as buffering agents against the harmful effects of workplace stressors on these job outcomes. Data was collected from 230 full time employees working in different organizations in Pakistan in two stages whereby data on independent and moderating variables were collected in Time 1 and data on dependent variables were collected in one month later in Time 2. The results revealed that time pressure had a negative effect on job performance and OCB. Workload was found to have no significant effect on job performance, OCB, and creative performance. The results suggested that conscientious individuals were less likely to demonstrate creative performance. The findings also suggested that extravert and conscientious individuals were less likely to demonstrate citizenship behaviors at the workplace. Further, agreeableness and openness to experience had a positive effect on both OCB and creative performance. The results for moderation suggested that time pressure had a significant negative effect on job performance for high conscientiousness. Similarly, time pressure had a significant negative effect on job performance for low extraversion. The findings also revealed that the negative 2 relationship between time pressure-OCB was stronger when extraversion was high. In addition, time pressures had a significant negative relationship with OCB for low agreeableness. Further, the negative relationship between time pressure and creative performance was significant for those low on agreeableness The results further demonstrated that the workload-OCB relationship was positive when emotional stability was low whereas this relationship was negative when extraversion was high. Findings also suggest that the workload-OCB relationship was positive when extraversion was high whereas this relationship was negative when extraversion was low. Moreover, the workload-OCB relationship was positive when agreeableness was high whereas this relationship was negative when agreeableness was low. Furthermore, workload had a negative relationship with creative performance for high extraversion. Finally, workload had a negative effect on creative performance for low agreeableness.

مولانا محمد رحمت اﷲ

مولانا محمد رحمت اﷲ
اسی مہینہ ایک اورحادثہ یہ پیش آیا کہ ہمارے رفیق ادارہ مولوی محمدعبداﷲ صاحب طارق کے والدماجد مولانا محمدرحمت اﷲ صاحب چند روز کی معمولی علالت کے بعد کم وبیش سا ٹھ برس کی عمر میں نظام الدین اولیاء، نئی دہلی میں وفات پاگئے۔ اِنَّالِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّا اِلَیْہِ رَاجِعُوْن۔ دارالعلوم دیوبند کے فارغ التحصیل اور علوم دینیہ میں پختہ استعداد کے مالک تھے۔ درس وتدریس اورتحریر کابھی کبھی کبھی مشغلہ رہا، لیکن اُن کا اصل میدان وعظ وخطابت تھا، اس میں انھوں نے بڑا نام پیدا کیا۔ مدراس اور گجرات ومہاراشٹر کے مسلمانوں کاایک بڑا طبقہ اُن کا گرویدہ تھا۔ نہایت خوش گفتار، عابد و زاہد اور خلیق و ملنسار تھے۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ ان دونوں بزرگوں کوبخشش کی نعمتوں سے نوازے اوراُن کے مدارج بلند فرمائے ۔آمین۔

قطعی عقائد (مختلف فیہ) میں اتفاق کی صورتیں: اقوال علماء برصغیر کی روشنی میں

The Beliefs are the base of Islam and all worships. The vantage ground of beliefs has been described by Allah Almighty and His Rasool Muhammad (SAW). To agree upon the Beliefs is very important for all the Muslims as the unity of the Muslims has pivotal role for the glory of Muslim Ummah. Allah Almighty ordains his slaves to hold fast together the rope of so that everyone may save himself from a severe chastisement. So, the study of the Beliefs in a unanimous view point is the most important need of the Muslims. The Beliefs are divided into two major parts, the definite beliefs and the indistinct beliefs. The following article is an agreeing study of the Beliefs related to the definite beliefs in the prospect of quotations of the Muslim Scholars of subcontinent (Indo-Pak).

Screening and Characterization of Potential Therapeutic Targets Against Hepatitis C Virus Hcv

HCV develops a chronic infection in humans, which ultimately leads to liver failure. Discovery of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) has initiated the era of well tolerated medications. While these treatments are useful but still encounter certain limitations including drug resistance mutations, selective immune pressure and various side effects. Besides, no effective vaccine for the prevention of HCV infection is yet available. Therefore, for the development of efficient antiviral treatment, comprehensive knowledge of viral proteins characterization and pathogenesis is essential. The current study attempted to use integrated approaches to characterize the HCV major drug target proteins NS3/4A, NS5A and NS5B. Here, we provide a detailed analysis of the drug and immune driven variations among these viral proteins using systems virology and proposed a mechanistic insight highlighting the importance of these mutations on the therapeutic and immune response. In NS3/4A, DRMs such as A36V, Q80K, M175L, I132L, S138T, and R123T were observed in epitopes associated with HLAB*57, HLA-B*27, DRBl*ll04, and DRB1*0101 alleles. Within NS5A, DRMs such as L31M, Q30K/R, L28V, F28L, Q54H, and H58P were found in epitopes related to DRB1*0701, DRBl*ll04, HLA-A*68, and DRB1*0101 alleles. Similarly, DRMs including D168V, M423I, M419M, V494A, V499A, V138I, and I482T were frequently found in epitopes associated with DRB1*0101, DRB1*0701, HLA-B*57, HLAB*27, and DRB1*1104 alleles within NS5B. Among these alleles DRB1*0701, DQA*0201,DRBl*ll04, DRB1*0101, DRB*5701, DRB*5703, Cw*0102, DQBl*O301, HLA-B*57, HLA-A*03, HLA-A*68, and HLA B*27 are involved in HCV protection or clearance. Moreover, the efficacy of four prioritized drugs with no drug and immune driven variations, Danoprevir, Balaprivir, Narlaprevir, Samatasvir was compared with Sofosbuvir using in vitro analysis and highlight the significance of these drugs as more efficacious and potential therapeutic targets. This study also attempted to investigate the evolutionary conservation of these proteins (NS3/4A, NS5A and NS5B) via global consensus sequence profiling of all HCV genotypes (Thio et al.). This comprehensive analysis finds out many conserved drug targets and post translational modification sites (PTMs) that could be a target for the development of universal drug and vaccine. This study also aimed to propose a conserved pan genotypic multi-epitope vaccine by using structural modeling and epitope-epitope compatibility as a promising strategy to combat HCV infections, effectively. Multi-epitope vaccine construct was designed by using sixteen linear conserved epitopes, to induce better antigenic responses than a univalent subunit vaccine. Thus, surface-exposed, conserved and antigenic epitopes from the selected viral proteins were screened to design broad spectrum multi-epitope based subunit vaccines. While stable and substantial interactions were also observed with Toll-like receptor 3 and 8. This study showed that integrated lines offer various opportunities to amass the incomplete mystery of HCV biology in a meaningful way. It will increase our comprehension of how HCV roots liver diseases and how different hidden an unanticipated mechanism including immune driven variations could affect its therapeutic response. It also provides efficient screening stratagem to effectively extract worthwhile insights from multidimensional molecular datasets and helps in improving our understanding of the development of possible therapeutic targets against HCV
