Herbal drugs are symbolized as safe and secure in contrast to conventional medicines which are considered as unsafe to human and environment. population size, inadequate supply of drugs, prohibitive cost of treatments, side effects, and development of resistance used drugs against various infectious diseases have lead to the increased emphases on the use of plant material as a source of medicine due to having phytochemicals present in it and used to prevent, treat ailments, promote health and well being. These agents could be present in any part of plant as drugs, in the form of excretory plant products and as intermediate components. They are also being utilized extensively for economic purpose along with their nutritional and medicinal significance too. Musa paradisiaca L. (Musaceae) found all over the world and also distributed throughout Pakistan known as plantain with two genera, is the most popular plant and we detected such all characteristics and selected for this detailed research. This common plant cures many disease conditions such as gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, nephrotic problem, arthritis and also having the ability to reduce the risk of cholesterol, breast and renal cell cancers. It all possible due to having large amount of phyto-nutrients. In this research project which consist of A-D parts other than fruit its bract, flower, trachea and tracheal fluid (MP-1 to MP-4) of methanolic extract respectively were studied in different four phases i.e in pharmacognostic studies (Phase-1) by microscopic, histological and phytochemical screening established the standard for their correct identification and genuiness of leading phytocomponents and detection made by TLC chromatographic technique. While in Phase-2all extracts MP-1 to MP- 4 of Plant Musa paradisiaca L. has undergone pharmacological investigation on liver, kidney and pancreas respectively. In liver, all extracts (MP-1 to MP-4) were found toxic. MP-1 and MP-3 showed excellent nephroprotective effect while MP-2 and MP-4 were found toxic. it is interesting to note that MP-2 extract showed significant antidiabetic potential on β-cells of pancreas in contrast of fruit while moderate activity was observed in dose dependent manner of MP-4 extract. An antioxidant, antimicrobial activities were also studied in phase -3 of all MP-1 to MP-4 extracts as a result all of them depicted powerful antioxidant potential and all of them produced significant antimicrobial action against various bacterial and fungal organisms. Toxicological studies of Musa paradisiaca L. methanolic extract of bract (MP-1), flower (MP-2), trachea (MP-3) and tracheal fluid (MP-4) in phase-4 was carried out in which results of brine shrimp bioassay and insecticidal activities proved that all extracts (MP-1 to MP-4) are safe and non toxic while moderate phtotoxicity were observed in lemna minor L. of them as growth inhibitor. As the result of these research finding such as significant antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial and nephroprotective effects of plant parts which are first time studied in this research and never done before. It must state in conclusion that any popular and available plant species could also be consider for utilization after depth research in different directions because nature is multifold and it has definitely make some secrets in them. Therefore we must emphasize to explore them in multiple directions for betterment of mankind.

رئیس احمد جعفری

رئیس احمد جعفری
پچھلے دنوں پاکستان میں ہمارے ایک اورفاضل اورعزیز دوست رئیس احمد جعفری کابھی انتقال ہوگیا۔مرحوم نے تعلیم ندوہ اورجامعہ دونوں میں پائی تھی لیکن تکمیل کسی ایک جگہ بھی نہیں کی۔تحریر کاشوق اور سلیقہ شروع سے تھا اورآدمی تھے بڑے ذہین اور طباع! اس لیے اپنے مطالعہ اورمحنت کے بل بوتہ پر اردوزبان کے نامور ادیب اورمصنف بن گئے۔ ان کاقلم ہی ان کے لیے ذریعہ معاش تھا، اس لیے اگرچہ کوئی ڈھنگ کاعلمی اورتحقیقی کام نہیں کرسکے لیکن افسانہ وناول سے لے کرمذہب اورتاریخ وفلسفہ تک ہر موضوع پر چھوٹی بڑی کتابیں اس کثرت سے لکھی ہیں کہ اس وصف خاص میں ان کاکوئی معاصر ہمسری کادعویٰ نہیں کرسکتا۔ان کاقلم بڑاشگفتہ اوررواں دواں تھا ان کے ساتھ میراذاتی تعلق یہ تھا کہ مرحوم کے نانا سید امتیاز احمد صاحب (ریاض خیرآبادی مرحوم کے حقیقی بھائی) آگرہ میں کوتوال شہرتھے۔ان میں اور میرے والدصاحب قبلہ میں نہایت گہرے برادرانہ تعلقات تھے ۔کوتوال صاحب کے متعلقین ہمارے ہاں آتے اور ہفتوں قیام کرتے تھے ۔ اسی طرح ہم لوگ ان کے ہاں جاتے اور ہفتہ دو ہفتہ ٹھہرتے تھے۔رئیس احمد جعفری کوتوال صاحب (جن کومیں خالو کہتا تھا)کی پہلی بیوی کی لڑکی کے بطن سے تھے۔ان تعلقات کے باعث مرحوم جب تک دہلی میں رہے برابر آتے جاتے رہے ۔جب کبھی ملتے تھے بڑی محبت سے پیش آتے تھے۔ آخری مرتبہ دہلی آئے اور میں ان دنوں ہندوستان سے باہر تھاتولاہور جاتے ہوئے دفتر برہان میں میرے نام ایک خط چھوڑ گئے جس میں لکھا تھا بڑی حسرتوں اور تمناؤں کے ساتھ آیاتھا کہ تم سے ملاقات ہوگی مگر مایوس جارہاہوں۔اب میں بیمار رہنے لگاہوں ، نہ جانے کتنی اور باقی ہے۔البتہ یہ تمنا ضرور ہے کہ مرنے سے پہلے ایک مرتبہ تمہیں اور دیکھ لوں۔‘‘ صدحیف تمنا پوری نہیں ہوئی،اور وہ خدا کو پیارے...

النفوذ السوفيتي في إيران خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية 1939-1945

تهدف الدراسة الى معرفة طبيعة التنافس الدولي حول إيران بحكم موقعها الجغرافي المميز الذي يشكل حلقة وصل بين معسكرين متباينين، الدول الأوربية والولايات المتحدة الامريكية من جهة والاتحاد السوفيتي من جهة ثانية خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية عدت إيران ذات أهمية استثنائية في ظل السياسة الدولية أثناء الحرب العالمية الثانية، لا لموقعها الجغرافي المهم حسب بل انها أصبحت جزءاً لا يتجزأ من تلك السياسة، التي شكلت صراعاً مريراً وتنافساً كبيراً بين دول الحلفاء والمحور خلال تلك الحرب، وبشكل خاص بعد الهجوم الألماني على الاتحاد السوفيتي في 22 حزيران 1941 التي أخذت تطورا خطيرا في أحداث العالم بأسره. وقد اعتمد الباحث في دراسته على المنهج التاريخي الحديث حيث تابع تطور الأحداث العسكرية والعلاقات السياسية والاقتصادية بين الجانبين تاريخياً. ومن أهم النتائج التي أفرزتها الدراسة: عدم الاستقرار في العلاقات السياسية والاقتصادية بين روسيا وإيران بسبب ضغوطات الدول الأجنبية وتدخلها في الشؤون الداخلية لإيران.

Sdpm ?An Effective Model for Software Defect Prediction Using Artificial Neural Networks?

Predicting software defect is considered as one of the most dynamic research field in the domain of software engineering. Prediction of defects can improve the software quality by indicating the particular areas in advance where faults are more likely to occur. Software defect prediction models have accomplished the significant acceptance in software industry in the last decade. Prediction and prevention of defects in beginning stages of software?s development can reduce the whole development time and cost by reducing the testing efforts. The widely used data mining models for defect prediction includes one or more of the following machine learning techniques: ?Logistic Regression (LR), Naive Bayes (NB), K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Neural Network (NN), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF)?. According to latest research, Neural Networks come up with higher accuracy than other mathematical and statistical models. Artificial Neural Network is widely accepted supervised learning approach to deal with the prediction problems in multiple domains of the software engineering such as ?effort estimation, cost estimation and software defect prediction?. Many researchers have proposed models based on Neural Networks for software defect prediction, however wide comparison with benchmark datasets were lacked. Moreover, in most of researches, WEKA was used which has limited parameters for developing Neural Networks. In this study, a model will be proposed by using ANNs for the effective defects prediction with Feed-Forward and Feed-Back techniques in MATLAB, which provides more parameters for the development and tuning the Neural Networks. An empirical comparison of ?Levenberg-Marquardt, Bayesian Regularization, Scaled Conjugate Gradient and BFGS Quasi-Newton? back propagation training algorithms will be performed. The performance of proposed model will be analyzed by using benchmark datasets available in NASA MDP repository. A GUI based Neural Network Simulator will developed to assess and tune the performance of our ANNs models which will provide the options to select appropriate learning function along with different combinations of hidden layers and the numbers of neurons in each layer.
