پروفیسر انامری شمل
پروفیسر انامری شمل کی وفات علمی دنیا کا بڑا سانحہ ہے، ۲۷؍ جنوری کو اپنے گھر میں گرجانے کی وجہ سے ان کی وفات ہوگئی، وہ اس عہد کے ممتاز مستشرق تھیں، یورپ کی متعدد زبانوں کے علاوہ اردو، فارسی، عربی اور ترکی کی بھی ماہر تھیں، عربی میں ایک رسالہ بھی نکالا تھا اور قریباً ۵۰ کتابیں لکھیں۔
انہوں نے اپنی تمام عمر تحقیق اور علمی کاموں کے لیے وقف کردی تھی، مشرقی اور اسلامی علوم پر ان کی اچھی نظر تھی، ہندوستان کئی بار تشریف لائیں اور یہاں کے اصحاب علم و ذوق کو ان سے استفادے کا موقع ملا، اورینٹل اسٹڈیز میں انہوں نے جہاں مختلف مشرقی زبانوں پر کام کیا تھا وہاں اردو، غالب اور اقبال بھی ان کے مرکز توجہ رہے، ان کی وفات سے مشرقی زبانوں اور اردو کا بڑا نقصان ہوا، اس خلاَ کا پُر ہونا مشکل ہے۔

Aims Of Study: Coronavirus is a potentially deadly disease that mostly affects human lung tissue. Multiple cases of unexplained respiratory tract infections were reported to the World Health Organization China in December 2019. The focus of this research was to assess association between depression and PWB in patients who had been isolated due to covid-19.
Methodology: A sample of 250 people with covid-19 post quarantine, with age ranges from 25 to 45 were selected by using purposive sampling methods. Depression, anxiety, stress scale and psychological well-being scales were administered. Regression analysis and t-test were employed for statistical analysis.
Results: Obtained results evidenced that depression is significantly predict psychological health in the covid-19 population [B= -.015, -.019, F (7.915) sig= .000]. Gender difference is also observed in variable of depression also [(4.78) =.030, p.000].
Limitations and future implications: Future research may base on longitudinal analyses focusing on familial and social factors that may influence the psychological well-being of people living in quarantine.
Originality: I certify that the intellectual substance of this article is the result of my own effort and that all assistance and sources used in the preparation of this article have been acknowledged.
Conclusion:
It was concluded that Depression affects people with COVID-19 and PWB after quarantine. future research may focus more on the influence of the interaction between quarantine and adults’ mental health to fully comprehend the link.
Harvesting high quality lint, a long-awaited breeding goal—accomplished partly, can be achieved by identifying DNA markers which could be used for diagnosing cotton plants containing the desired traits. In the present studies, a total of 185 cotton genotypes exhibiting diversity for lint traits were selected from a set of 546 genotypes evaluated for fiber traits in 2009. These genotypes were extensively studied for three consecutive years (2011-2013) at three different locations. Significant genetic variations were found for average boll weight, ginning out turn (GOT), micronaire value, staple length, fiber bundle strength and uniformity index. IR-NIBGE-3701 showed maximum ginning out turn (41.10%). Clustering of genotypes using Ward’s method was found more informative than that of the clusters generated by principal component analysis. A total of 382 SSRs were surveyed on 10 G. hirsutum genotypes exhibiting contrasting fiber traits. Out of these, 95 polymorphic SSR primer pairs were then surveyed on 185 genotypes. The gene diversity averaged 0.191 and the polymorphic information content (PIC) averaged 0.175. Unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA), principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and STRUCTURE software grouped these genotypes into four major clusters each. Genetic distance within the clusters ranged from 0.0587 to 0.1030. A total of 47 (25.41%) genotypes exhibited shared ancestry. In total 6.8% (r2 ≥ 0.05) and 4.4% (r2 ≥ 0.1) of the marker pairs showed significant linkage disequilibrium (LD). A number of marker-trait associations (in total 75) including 13 for average boll weight, 18 for GOT percentage, eight for micronaire value, 18 for staple length, three for fiber bundle strength and 15 for uniformity index were calculated. Out of these, MGHES-51 was associated with all the traits. Most of the marker-trait associations were novel while few validated the associations reported in the previous studies. High frequency of favourable alleles in cultivated varieties is possibly due to fixation of desirable alleles by domestication. These favourable alleles can be used in marker assisted breeding or for gene cloning using next generation sequencing tools. The present studies would set a stage for harvesting high quality lint without compromising the yield potential—ascertaining natural fiber security.
