Species of Grewia are mostly usesd for the typhoid, malaria, diarrhea, dysentery, small pox, fever, cough, eczema etc. On the basis of ethno medicinal survey, this study was designed to evaluate Grewia optiva as possible therapy of Alzheimer’s, oxidative stress and other neurodegenerative diseases. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), Alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase inhibitory activities of crude methanolic extract, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, aqueous fraction and isolated compounds of G. optiva were investigated using Ellman’s spectrophotometric and other standard protocol. Antioxidant potential of G. optiva was determined using DPPH and ABTS free radicals scavenging assays. Total phenolic and flavonoids contents of plant extracts were determined and expressed in mg GAE/g dry weight and mg QE/g of dry sample respectively. Antibacterial activity of crude extract was determined using agar well diffusion method. In the in vivo experiments, methanol extract was orally administered to mice (n = 5) at four doses of 500, 400, 300 and 200 mg kg–1 for 30 days and its effect on glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol etc were investigated. Finally, based on HPLC fingerprinting results, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions were subjected silica gel column isolations. The isolated compounds were characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. The in vitro pharmacological activities of isolated compounds were also determined. To validate the experimental data, molecular docking simulation software was used (only for those compounds having low IC 50 values) Phytochemical analysis showed that alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, sterols and saponins were present in crude extract of G. optiva. Amongst various fractions crude extract and ethyl acetate fraction exhibited highest inhibitory activity against AChE (89.08 ± 2.35, 77.18 ± 1.45%) and BChE (86.32 ± 1.71, 74.16 ± 1.30%) enzymes at 1000 µg/ml with IC50 values of 120 and 185 μg/mL for AChE while 100 and 235 μg/mL for BChE respectively. Galanthamine causing 95.22 ± 0.81 and 94.30 ± 0.74% inhibition of AChE and BChE at 1000 µg/ml concentration with IC50 values of 45 and 60 μg/mL respectively. In antioxidant assays, Crude methanolic extract and ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated highest radicals scavenging activities against DPPH and ABTS which were comparable to that of ascorbic acid. Crude extract was found most potent with IC50 of 75 and 88 μg/mL against DPPH and ABTS free radicals respectively. Crude methanolic extract and ethyl acetate fraction also showed moderate inhibition against alpha glucosidase (69.02 ± 1.02, 64.29± 2.41) and alpha amylase (65.12 ± 2.02, 63.29± 1.41) when compared with standard acarbose. Chloroform, ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions showed high phenolic and flavonoid contents. The phenolic and flavonoid contents of different extracts were correlated with their antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and antidiabetic activities. The phenolic compounds in the crude extract and fractions were determined using HPLC standard method and secondary metabolites like: morine, ellagic Acid, kaempferol-3-(pcoumaroyl- diglucoside)-7-glucoside, apigenin-7-O-rutinoside, quercetin-3-(caffeoyldiglucoside)-7-glucoside etc. were detected at different retention times. A significant decrease in cholesterol, triglyceride and blood glucose levels shown in mice after treating with plant extract. However, levels of MCHC, MCV, RBC, WBC total protein and blood urea were not more affected. Based on in vivo and in vitro results of extracts, it was concluded that G. optiva possess antilipidemic, antioxidant and antidiabetic potentials as it is a good source phytochemicals, some of which may probably possess anticholinesterase, anti-glucosidase, and anti-amylase activities, and can be used to treat oxidative stress, neurological disorders, and diabetes mellitus. Phytochemical investigation of the ethyl acetate and chloroform fractions led to the isolation of eleven compounds namely β- sitosterol, betulinic acid, 1, 2, 3 benzene triol , 7- O-methyl cathachin, docosanoic acid, glutaric acid, trihydroxyl-4H chromen -4`- one, 3,5 dihydroxy phenyl acrylic acid, hexa methyl-icosahydro-1H cylopenta chrysene-2-ol, (2,5 dihydroxyl phenyl) 3`,6`,8` trihydroxyl-4H chromen -4`- one and hexanedioic acid reported first time from the Grewia genus except β-sitosterol, while methanetriol mano formate isolated from the said plant is a new compound firstly reported from natural sources. In antioxidant assays, 7-O-methyl cathachin demonstrated highest percent radicals scavenging against DPPH and ABTS (86.11 ± 2.20, 85.23 ± 1.61) at 1000 µg/mL with 63 µg/mL of IC50, which was very near to the standard ascorbic acid IC50 value (35 µg/mL). All other testing compounds also have very good percent inhibition and IC50 values. All the isolated compounds also showed excellent potential against AChE and BChE but β- sitosterol exhibited highest percent inhibition (87.66 ± 1.93, 85.71 ± 1.17) at 1000 µg/mL with 62 µg/mL of IC50, which is very close to the standard galanthamine IC50 value. Molecular docking studies also support the binding of β-sitosterol, trihydroxyl-4H chromen -4`- one and 3,5 dihydroxy phenyl acrylic acid with the target enzyme. In silico docking studies with AChE and BChE predicted possible binding modes for these active compounds. The para hydroxy of the phenolic moiety is predicted to form hydrogen bonds with the active site water molecule and the side chain carbonyl of residues. The remaining part of the active compound binding in a shallow pocket close picking up an H-bond interaction. Compound 1, 2, 3 benzene triol and 7-O-methyl Cathachin, showed good inhibition against alpha glucosidase with IC50 of 82 and 87 µg/mL respectively, while glutaric acid and hexanedioic acid have moderate effect against alpha amylase (IC50=85 µg/mL ) when compared with standard acarbose.

مولانا ابوسلمہ شفیع احمد

آہ! مولانا ابوسلمہؒ
(پروفیسر مسعود حسن)
۲۲؍ دسمبر کی دوپہر کو کلکتہ کے مسلمان ایک بڑے المناک سانحہ سے دوچار ہوئے، یہ سانحہ حضرت مولانا ابوسلمہ شفیع احمد صاحبؒ کی رحلت ہے، جو ۵-۴ ماہ کی طویل اور صبر آزما علالت کے بعد ۷۳ سال کی عمر میں اپنے مالک حقیقی سے جاملے۔ اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون، دوسرے دن صبح ۳۰:۱۲ بجے ان کے ہزاروں عقیدت مندوں اور جان نثاروں نے ان کے جسدخاکی کو پارک سرکس سے متصل ایک قبرستان میں جس کا نام ہم ’گورغریباں‘ ہے، یہ کہہ کر سپردخاک کیا کہ:
اے تیرہ خاک خاطرِ مہماں نگاہ دار
کیں نورچشم ماست کہ دربر گرفتہ ای
نور اﷲ مرقدہٗ و برد اﷲ مضجعہ
مولانا مرحوم کے نام اور مقام سے مجھے بہت پہلے سے واقفیت تھی، البتہ باقاعدہ نیاز اور تقریب ۱۹۵۹؁ء میں حاصل ہوا، جب مجھے مدرسۂ عالیہ کلکتہ کی پرنسپلی تفویض ہوئی اور میں مدرسہ پہنچا، مولانا مدرسہ کے ممتاز ترین اساتذہ میں تھے، تفسیر اور حدیث ان کے خاص موضوع تھے اور ان دونوں فنون کی بیشتر متداول کتابوں پر ان کی گہری نظر تھی، وہ مدرسہ کی اونچی جماعتوں میں درس دیتے تھے اور بڑی عزت و احترام کی نظر سے دیکھے جاتے تھے۔ میں مدرسہ میں کم و بیش ۵ سال رہا۔ اس پوری مدت میں میرے ان کے تعلقات مخلصانہ رہے اور جب میں وہاں سے رخصت ہوا تو اس کے بعد بھی ان کا اخلاص برابر جاری رہا۔ وہ اکثر میرے غریب خانہ پر تشریف لاتے، گھنٹوں بیٹھتے تھے۔ راقم الحروف بھی ان کی خدمت میں حاضر ہوتا تھا، ان ملاقاتوں میں اکثر علمی گفتگو ہوا کرتی تھی، کبھی کبھی حالات حاضرہ پر بھی تبصرہ ہوا کرتے تھے، مولانا ان مجلسوں میں علم و حکمت کے موتی بکھیر دیتے تھے۔

A Study on Non-Performing Assets (NPA) of Selected Private Sector Banks in India

The banking industry is critical to the success of any economy since it satisfies societal requirements. A bank is a financial entity that provides its clients with a variety of banking and other financial services. India's banking industry has been grappling with mounting non-performing assets. The rise of Non-Performing Assets has a significant impact on a bank's profitability. This research was undertaken in order to analyze the non-performing assets of a sample of chosen private sector banks in India. For that purpose, the researcher chose the top four private sector banks, namely HDFC bank, ICICI bank, Axis bank, and Indusland bank, based on their net sales from 2016-17 to 2020-21. To analyze non-performing assets in a selected private sector in India, gross non-performing assets (NPAs), net non-performing assets (NPAs), and net profit ratios were chosen. To test the hypothesis, the researcher employed a one-way ANOVA with a significance level of 5%. The study's primary conclusions include that HDFC bank's average GNPA and average NNPA are the lowest in the industry, while ICICI banks are the highest.

Evaluation of Teaching Practices of Teachers at Early Childhood Level in Public Schools of Pakistan

The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the teaching practices of teachers at early childhood level in public schools of Pakistan. The objectives of study were to: (a) find out academic and professional qualification of ECE teachers; (b) its impact on student''s learning; (c) teacher''s problems; (d) their teaching practices; and (e) suggestions for the solution of the problems faced by ECE teachers in public schools of Punjab. The major research questions were about: (a) the status of ECE teachers; (b) their competency level regarding qualification; (c) their teaching problems; (d) teaching strategies regard to urban/rural schools of Punjab. The study was conducted on 994 ECE teachers teaching in 9 districts of Punjab. They were selected randomly. The overall response rate was 80% (N=720). Three research instruments were developed for data collection: i) One questionnaire; ii) A teaching competency scale; and A Checklist for classroom observations. ii) Focus group discussions were conducted for incorporation of opinions of educational executives of four districts i-e Faisalabad, Nankana sahib, Narowal, and Sialkot. about the overall status of ECE in public schools. Topics for focus group discussion were also selected with consultation of supervisor. All these tools got validated through experts’ opinion and pilot study. The overall reliability of questionnaire was (.734). The questionnaire and teaching competency scale were administered to ECE teachers of public schools. Checklist was administered to 36 classrooms to observe the level of knowledge of ECE teachers about their connected fields. For this the researcher himself observed each and every classroom to get data as per checklist. The descriptive statistics were used for analysis and interpretation of data, the inferential statistics to determine the significant difference in perceptions of the respondents and the Cohen’s d formula to identify the effects of items of above mentioned research tools. The data collected through questionnaire was used to compare the teaching practices of ECE teachers regarding their gender and locality and to identify the academic and professional status of ECE teachers. The data collected in the shape of results from student records were used to examine the impact of teacher''s academic and professional qualification on student''s learning. It was categories into three levels i.e. excellent, good and average. Teaching competency scale was used to identify the competency level of ECE teachers of public schools about their teaching practices. The classroom observation schedule was used to assess the lesson presentation skills and the use of others related strategies and techniques which are important for ECE teaching. Through this data, level of students was ascertained. Discussion on data analysis was divided into four parts. Part–I illustrates the demographic profile of teachers as well as complete picture of teaching practices of ECE teachers, their academic & professional qualification and its impact on students learning achievements, comparison of teaching practices with respect to gender and location. Part-II describes the level of teaching competencies of ECE teachers about knowledge of children, subject knowledge and professional practices and practical wisdom. Part-III shows the results of observations of classrooms and Part-IV indicates the discussion of focus group of educational executives. The finding shows that majority of ECE teachers were teaching to ECE children by using different strategies at ECE level in public schools and their effect according to Cohen’s d formula was ranged from 0.00 to 0.91. This is range of scores across all the individual teachers. Their competency level was ranged from 0.002 to 0.253 (p value). This is range of scores of perception of ECE teachers about children strengths, subject knowledge and professional practices & practical teaching wisdom. The comparison between teaching practices of male and female ECE teachers has made as per teaching competency scale. The impact of their competency has measured through the achievements of students (table 39). Finding related to the identified indicators for observations of the ECE teachers working in the public schools were showed that 35% to 72% ECE teachers have the knowledge of their observed fields. It means that 28% ECE teachers have no knowledge about their relevant fields. This figure is different in other observations (table 41). Mark means that the desired level (standard) set by the department, parents and society Major findings related to focus group discussion indicated that curriculum for ECE class has developed but no one teacher had any awareness about the curriculum. They were following the text-books considering those a curriculum which was prepared for ECE children. Learning material, teaching kits and provision of A.V.Aids for teaching to ECE children were not ensured. Refresher courses and trainings were not provided to ECE teachers as per required level. The study concluded that the overall conditions for ECE classroom practices were not satisfactory. Many of problems were faced by ECE teachers with regards to their teaching methodology, availability & use of A.V.Aids and learning and teaching material. ECE teachers of public schools were not well equipped professionally to teach the young babies. Finally, some recommendations were made for betterment and development of early childhood education in Pakistan. It was also suggested that future studies in this area should be conducted on different aspects.
