Quality management has emerged with promising organizational performance outcomes around the business world and has brought healthy prospective for the modern era business organizations to meet the challenge of continuous quality improvement to satisfy the customer demands. Organizations are forced to ensure the quality of their products and services to meet the challenges posed by the competition existing in the markets around the globe, growing customers’ awareness of market development, ever- escalating quality demands from customers, and the urge of organizations to strive for winning the competitive edge at marketplace. This dissertation provides the insight of quality management status of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan by addressing the issue of quality management implementation in the industry and its performance outcomes. This dissertation is meant to evaluate that whether the quality management programs, which proved very effective in improving organizational performance in the advanced countries, could be successful in the organizations belonging to developing country like Pakistan. The existing literature of quality management is mostly based on research performed in advanced countries, therefore to contribute to the body of knowledge of quality management in Pakistan this study is conducted in the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan. The organizational culture, management style, human resources and the managerial perspectives are considered critical factors in defining the success or failure of the quality management programs. Hence, it is worthwhile to appraise the effect of quality management practices in improving the quality of yarn and organizational performance in context of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan, which is characterized with a specific organizational culture, management style, human resources, and managerial perspectives. Within this research objective, the research problem was established as “What level of Quality management implementation is achieved by cotton yarn industry of Pakistan, and how much quality management is effective in improving quality of cotton yarn industry?” To address the main research problem, four research activities were planned. The first research activity was to have exhaustive hypothetical and pragmatic knowledge about the concepts, principles, practices, and the issues related to quality management implementation in organizational context. This research activity was imperative to discover quality management approaches to develop a research structure to evaluate the vilevel of implementation of quality management techniques by the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan. The second research activity was to explore the empirical interrelationship of quality management practices implemented in organizational context of the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan. The third research activity was to identify the relationship of quality management techniques with the performance measures in the organizational perspectives of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan. The fourth research activity was to evaluate the effect of implementation of quality management techniques on organizational performance and quality improvement of cotton yarn. To comply with these research activities, main research problem was re-defined into four sub-questions i. What level of adoption of quality management techniques is achieved by the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan? ii. How do quality management techniques interrelate in the work environment of the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan? iii. How does implementation of quality management techniques link with the performance measures of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan? What effect implementation of quality management techniques has on the quality of yarn in the cotton yarn industry of Pakistan? In addressing research question 1, the findings of this research show that cotton yarn industry of Pakistan has implemented quality management techniques at a moderate level, and quality management programs are receiving positive response from the industry. In addressing research question 2, the findings of this research show that in the organizational environment of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan, all the quality management techniques have significant positive correlation with each other, except the practice of changing the suppliers for their failure in maintaining the promised quality level. In addressing research question 3, the findings of this research show that implementation of quality techniques is positively linked with the organizational performance measures, except for the practice of changing the suppliers for their failure in achieving and maintaining the minimum level of quality, that has negative effect on performance measures. In addressing research question 4, the findings of this research show that in the context of cotton yarn industry of Pakistan, the implementation of quality management techniques proved to have a significant positive impact on profitability, market share, sale volume, reduction in rejection rate, and organizational performance.

مولانا عبدالرزاق ملیح آبادی

مولانا عبدالرزاق ملیح آبادی
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ مہینہ ہماری جماعت کے ممتاز رکن اور ندوہ کے نامور فرزند مولانا عبدالرزاق صاحب ملیح آبادی نے وفات پائی، انھوں نے متوسطات تک ندوہ میں تعلیم پائی، اور تکمیل جامعہ ازہر مصر میں کی تھی، علامہ رشید رضا کے خاص شاگردوں میں تھے، ان کا ذوق ابتدا سے سیاسی بلکہ انقلابی تھا، چنانچہ مصر کے قیام کے زمانہ میں قسطنطنیہ جاکر انور پاشا سے ملے، ان کی ملاقات نے سیاست اور آزادی کا نشہ اور تیز کردیا، پہلی جنگ عظیم کے بعد ہندوستان واپس آئے، اور کچھ دنوں تک مولانا عبدالباری فرنگی محلی رحمتہ اﷲ علیہ کے ساتھ رہے، جن کی ذات اس زمانہ میں مسلمانوں کی سیاست کا مرکز تھی، مگر مولانا عبدالرزاق کے خیالات اس زمانہ کی سیاست سے بہت آگے تھے، اس لئے زیادہ دنوں تک یہ ساتھ نہ رہ سکا۔
حسن اتفاق سے اسی زمانہ میں مولانا ابوالکلام کو ایک علمی و سیاسی رفیق کار کی تلاش تھی، اس کے لئے ان کی نگاہ انتخاب مولانا عبدالرزاق پر پڑی اور ان کو انھوں نے کلکتہ بلالیا، اس وقت سے وہ مولانا کے دامن سے ایسے وابستہ ہوئے کہ مرتے دم تک ان کا ساتھ نہ چھوڑا، وہ برسوں مولانا ابوالکلام کے سیاسی اور علمی کاموں میں ان کے دست راست رہے، چنانچہ دوسرے دور کے البلاغ اور ۱؂ مشہور عربی اخبار الجامعہ کے اڈیٹر مولانا ابوالکلام برائے نام تھے، ان کا پورا کام مولانا عبدالرزاق انجام دیتے رہے، الجامعہ ہندوستان میں عربی کا پہلا معیاری اخبار تھا، جس کی شہرت عرب ملکوں تک تھی، ہندوستان کے مسلمانوں میں عربی ادب و انشاء کا صحیح ذوق پیدا کرنے اور عرب ملکوں سے ان کا رابطہ استوار کرنے میں اس اخبار کا بڑا حصہ ہے، ان علمی و صحافتی مشاغل کے ساتھ سیاسی تحریکوں میں بھی علمی...

Trash Rush – Educational Mobile Game For Android Devices

As population grows faster, the rise of garbage collection follows.  Massive information dissemination of waste management has been done by local representatives to educate people but despite the effort exerted still mismanagement of waste exist that caused serious environmental consequences to nature and human beings.  This condition ignites the researchers to develop a technology-based means to help disseminate proper disposal of garbage through the use of mobile phones.  Trash Rush educational mobile game application utilized Lua Scripting Language for game features, system behavior and synchronizes the phone sensor to the system. The Lua tool is decoded to JSON codes and sent to PHP MySQL in the webserver for storage. For tilting motion and orientation of the phone, the researchers employ the accelerometer sensor as the main navigation controller.   For sound and background effects, the Reactable Application is utilized.  The Box2D game engine is used to analyze and interpret the images and graphic effects while the Box2D API is utilized for object movement and animation. The Motion Parallax effect is also used to give more realistic effects in movements of the objects and the graphical background of the game. All these components are extracted through the APK file of Corona SDK to build and publish the app.  Upon reaching to the deployment stage of iterative model, it was found out that the system became viral to grade levels in the campus because of its story and time attack mechanism.

Silicon-Mediated Alleviation of Sodium Toxicity in Wheat under Saline Conditions

Salinity is the major yield constraining problem in many parts of the world, especially in regions having arid to semiarid climate. Pakistan population has increased up to 200 million while the average wheat yield has become stagnant because of the soil salinity and other stresses. So, it is important to sustain wheat production by using the available resources efficiently to secure the food for over-population. Silicon (Si) is a beneficial element for plant growth. Its application plays a multiple role to increase plant growth through influencing physiological and metabolic processes in higher plants under both biotic and abiotic stresses. Four studies were planned to investigate the possible mechanism through which Si improves salt tolerance in wheat crop.In first experiment, 10 wheat genotypes (Lasani-2008, AARI-2011, Sehar-2006, AAS, Faisalabad-2008, Punjab-2011, Millat-2011, L-7076, L-8171 and SARC-5) were grown in ½ strength Hoagland nutrient solution with salinity (control, 100 and 200 mM NaCl) and silicon ( control, 1 mM and 2 mM )in wire house for 30 days. Two wheat varieties i.e. Faisalabad-2008 as salt tolerant and Millat-2011 as salt sensitive were selected from first experiment on the basis of ionic composition and biomass production. Second experiment was conducted to study the interactive effect of salinity and silicon (Si) on plant physiological and biochemical attributes at two different growth stages by growing both selected wheat varieties in the hydroponic solution using same levels of treatments as in first experiment. It was found that Si significantly increased the salt tolerance of both wheat varieties by improving the plant physiological and biochemical traits.Faisalabad-2008 performed better than Millat-2011at both growth stages (Tillering and stem elongation). Third experiment was conducted in the pots to investigate the role of Si on distribution and compartmentation of ions in the shoot and root tissues of wheat (Faisalabad-2008) through exogenous application of Salinity (control, 200 mM NaCl) and Si (control, 2mM). The Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray micro analysis of plant tissues showed that Si altered the ion distribution and contributed significantly to enhance salt tolerance in wheat. A fourth pot experiment was carried out to study the role of Si on the yield of both selected wheat varieties (Faisalabad-2008 & Millat-2011) using same level of treatments as in first experiment. Results indicated considerable increase in grain as well as in biological yield of both selected wheat varieties under saline condition. It was concluded from above studies that Si increased salt tolerance and yield of wheat through improving physiological, biochemical and alteration of ions in the plant tissues. The Faisalabad-2008, found efficient Si-accumulator wheat variety. Key words: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), Salinity, Silicon, antioxidant enzymes. Ion distribution
