Boerhavia procumbens is an herbaceous, perennial creeping weed and native of Pakistan, belongs to the family Nyctaginaceae. In the folk medicine B. procumbens has been used in the treatment of different diseases containing jaundice, hepatitis, and asthma. This research work was design to investigate the crude methanolic extract, its various solvents soluble fractions and isolated compounds of B. procumbens for biological activities (in-vitro and in-vivo) along with chemical composition to provide a valid scientific rationale to its ethno-medicinal uses. In the proximate analysis, the protein (37.46 ± 0.02 %) and inorganic matter (21.25 ± 0.032 %) of the roots were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the aerial parts (2.18 ± 0.04 %, 6.78 ± 0.05). The highest value of Nitrogen-free extract (75.56 ± 0.046 %) was found in aerial parts as compared to roots (31.22 ± 0.05 %). Calcium and potassium were significantly highest (p<0.05) elements in the inorganic matter analysis of aerial parts than roots. The essential amino acid, arginine (8.89 ± 0.08 g/100g) and tryptophan (3.49 ± 0.08 g/100g) was found significantly higher (p < 0.05) in roots than aerial parts while non-essential amino acid, aspartic acid (31.25 ± 0.08 g/100g) and glutamic acid (25.27 ± 0.06 g/100g) were reported higher in aerial parts than roots of B. procumbens. Qualitative phytochemical screening of B. Procumbens showed that phenols, flavonoids and cardiac glycoside were present in crude methanolic extract while only phenolic and flavonoidal contents were determined quantitatively in extract and its different solvent fractions. The EtOAc solvent fraction showed significant DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50: 40.24 μg/mL) when compared to standard (Ascorbic acid, IC50: 28.78μg/ml). The antibacterial activity of dichloremethane (DCM) solvent fraction (12 ± 0.12 mm) showed good zone of inhibition against Xanthomonas campestris while ethyl acetate fraction exhibited maximum activity against E.coli (11.8 ± 0.14 mm). In the antifungal activity only n-hexane fraction (23.2 ± 0.20 mm) showed comparable inhibition against Fusarium oxysporum to that of standard (23.6 ± 0.16 mm). The DCM fraction (90 %) exhibited a highest cytotoxicity activity against brine shrimp at high concentration (1000 μg/mL) whereas, moderate cytotoxic effect (60 and 10 %) was observed at lower concentrations (100 and 10 μg/mL), respectively. The larvicidal effect against 3rd instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus of leaf extract and n-hexane fraction showed highest percent mortality (100 % and 96 %) at high concentration (400 μg /ml) with LD50 value of 26.84 and 46.98 μg /ml. The DCM fraction showed outstanding phytotoxic potential (50, 63, and 80 %) while n-hexane fraction showed mild activity (13, 20 and 26 %) at the test concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 μg/mL respectively. In this study six compounds {Indole-3-carboxaldehyde (1), 2- Hydroxybenoic acid (Salicylic acid) (2), 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid (3), Oleracein E (4), Methyl-3, 4-dihydroxybenzoate (5) and Eupalitin-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (6)} were isolated and characterized for the first time from B. procumbens. Compounds (5) and (4) showed a significant antileishmanial activity with IC50 values of 18.37 ± 0.07 μM and 48.19 ± 0.06 μM while compounds (4) and (6) depicted good inhibition against acetylcholinesterase enzyme with IC50 value of 54.39 ± 0.03 μM and 74.07 ± 0.06 μM. In Treg cell proliferation assay, Compound (4) was found most active against treg cell proliferation with percent increase (83.51) followed by compound 1 and 6 with percent increase (32.02 and 24.18), respectively. In the isolated compounds only Compound 4 showed less cytotoxicity against NIH-3T3 cell lines with IC50 value of 38.81 ± 2.93 at the test concentration of 100 μM. In-vivo biological activities, toxicity test of BP showed no sign of toxicity and any abnormal behavior up to a dose of 2000 mg/kg for crude extract while for compound (6) up to a dose of 500 mg/kg. The peripheral analgesic activity of crude extract of B. Procumbens at dose of 200 mg/kg exhibited significant effect (p<0.05) while at dose of 400 mg/kg showed more significant effect (p<0.01) against the antinociceptive activity. The central analgesic activity of extract (400 mg/kg) showed more significant effect (p<0.01) after 60 min of administration and remained significant till 120 min. The anti-inflammatory activity of crude extract (400 mg/kg) showed maximum percent inhibition (47.98 %) of paw edema at 5 hrs of observation. In hepatoprotective assay, compound (6) of B. Procumbens at dose of 60 mg/kg with CCl4 significantly reduced (p<0.01) the levels of SGPT and SGOT (26 ± 1.34 U/ml and 42.92 ± 1.6 U/ml) enzymes when compared with the group treated with CCl4 alone (23.85 ± 1.72 U/ml and 34.53 ± 2.41U/ml). Similarly, the serum levels of ALP and total bilirubin (179.22 ± 3.41U/ml and 3.23 ± 0.19 mg/dl) significantly decline (p < 0.01) was also observed in group treated with 60 mg/kg dose. The current research work strongly supports the ethnomedicinal properties of B. procumbens which has been used widely without scientific validation for the treatment of many diseases especially hepatic disorders. Therefore, B. Procumbens can utilizing for value added herbal medicines/products as this species grow commonly as weeds in Pakistan even under tough conditions of enviroments.
پاکستانی معاشرے میں حدود وقصاص قوانین سے واقفیت اور ان پر عمل درآمد کے حوالے سے عوامی شعور کی کمی ہے، جس کی وجہ سے لوگ ان قوانین کے نفاذ کے لیے جدوجہد نہیں کرتے ہیں اور نہ گرم جوشی کا مظاہرہ کرتے ہیں۔ صحیح معنوں میں لوگ شریعت کی روح سے واقفیت رکھتے ہی نہیں۔ وہ اسلام کو صرف عبادات اور اخلاقیات کا مجموعہ سمجھتے ہیں ۔ اسلام تو حقوق اللہ اور حقوق العباد دونوں کا مجموعہ ہے ۔ عبادت سے تو صرف جنت ملتی ہے اور خدمت سے خدا ملتا ہے ۔ اس فلسفہ سے آگاہی ہر شخص کو نہیں۔ لہذا اس امر کی ضرورت ہے کہ عوام الناس میں اسلامی معاشرے کی اخلاقی اقدار کے تحفظ ، انسانیت کی خدمت کا جذبہ بیدار کیا جائے ، تاکہ اسلامی قوانین کے نفاذ میں کوئی رکاوٹ پیدا نہ ہو۔
The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation or application of instructional books Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim the moral formation of students at boarding school Alkhairaat Madinatul Ilmi Dolo. The qualitative method is used as a method of approach in this study by using observation data collection, interviews, and documentation are analyzed by using the method of data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The research indicate is result of learning book Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim is one book that discusses the presentation on moral learning that must be owned by the students in their studies. Terpokus description on what attitudes must be done by the students in studying good relationship with the teacher (Kiai), with fellow students, as well as how it should be enacting the books (the book) he learned it. In other words, this book is a guideline or code of conduct that students succeed in their studies either in accordance with laid down by Islam. By studying the book Ta'li m al-Muta'allim such, the students should be able to practice and broadcast both inside and outside the boarding school / community. As for the implementation of Learning book Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim the moral formation of students at boarding school Alkhairaat Madinatul Ilmi Dolo is providing direct guidance of teaching through the book, namely by providing appropriate role models that are suggested or taught by the book Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim. Therefore, application of the Book Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim between teachers and students in learning is usually not optimal, the influence of the factors of teachers, for example exemplary. So, it should be an important practice, not only wants his students to master learning the book but have a direct practice.
Emergence of China as an economic power, has resulted not only creating problems for China, but for the other
powers as well. China has been suffering many years under European, Western and Japanese control, which created
severe social, political, and economic crises in the country. After the communist revolution in 1949, China emerged
as an economic power. Following the Mao era, there has been an introduction of market oriented economic reforms
which not only regained China to its lost political-economic activities, but also increased its power and prestige at
international level. This has resulted in imposing challenge to the other economic powers.
This qualitative research will be focused on identifying the domestic and international challenges for China and to
look for the prospects for dealing with these challenges. Modernization Theory of Walt Rostow and Theory of
Economic Interdependence collectively constitute the theoretical framework of this study.
