Medicinal plants have been a major source of biologically active natural products and are used as medicines to cure disases in all cultures since ancient times. Cassia angustifolia (senna) and Trigonella foenum-graceum (fenugreek), are medicinal herbs, recommended by Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), used in Muslim ethnobotanical culture. These herbs have traditionally been used against liver diseases, constipation, typhoid, cholera, cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, ulcer, and inflammations etc. The present study describes isolation and identification of biologically active compounds, selected based on their bioactivity, from C. angustifolia and T. foenum-graceum. The pharmacological activities; antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, neuroprotective and hepatoprotective effects of C. angustifolia and T. foenum-graceum were investigated from their aqueous and organic (methanol, ethanol, acetone and ethyl acetate) extracts. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of steroids, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, coumarins, cardiac glycosides, saponins, anthraquinones, phenols and tannins in both plant extracts. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of both plants possess antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, neuroprotective and hepatoprotective activities which led to the isolation and identification of active compounds. A novel compound (proposed name “Irizoflavan”) and three known flavonoids i.e. Quercimeritrin, Scutellarein, and Rutin were isolated from C. angustifolia. Two known flavonoids i.e. Amurensin and Cosmosiin were isolated from T. foenum-graecum. These compounds were isolated and reported for the first time from these plants. The present work provides basis for the in depth understanding of the molecular pathways associated with these isolated compounds and for the development of plant based drugs.

پروفیسر سید احتشام حسین
پروفیسر سید احتشام حسین صدر شعبۂ اردو الٰہ آباد یونیورسٹی کی ناگہانی وفات علمی و ادبی دنیا کا بڑا سانحہ ہے، مرحوم اس دور کے چوٹی کے ادیبوں اور نقادوں میں تھے، ترقی پسند ادب کے تو معلم و رہنما تھے، اس دور کے نوجوان ادیبوں کی پوری نسل ان سے متاثر ہوئی، جدید ادب کے ساتھ قدیم ادبیات پر بھی ان کی نظر بڑی گہری، اور مبصرانہ تھی، اور وہ اس کی اچھی روایات کے بھی قدرشناس تھے، لسانیات سے بھی واقف تھے، انھوں نے سیکڑوں ادبی و تنقیدی مضامین اور بعض مستقل کتابیں لکھیں، اگرچہ وہ ترقی پسندوں کے امام تھے لیکن ان کے خیالات میں بڑا اعتدال و توازن اور زبان و قلم دونوں میں بڑی شایستگی تھی، اس لئے جدید کے ساتھ قدیم طبقہ میں بھی ان کی بڑی قدر تھی، وہ ابتداء میں لکھنؤ یونیورسٹی کے شعبۂ اردو کے لکچر مقرر ہوئے اور تقریباً ۱۵- ۱۶ سال اس عہدہ پر رہے، پھر الٰہ آباد یونیورسٹی اردو کے صدر ہوگئے تھے، اردو کی تمام اہم مجالس کے ممتاز رکن تھے، کوئی اہم ادبی اجتماع ان کے بغیر کامیاب نہ سمجھا جاتا تھا، انھوں نے مختلف حیثیتوں سے اردو کی بڑی قیمتی خدمات انجام دیں اور ہر محاذ پر اردو کے مخالفین کا مقابلہ کیا۔
ان علمی کمالات کے ساتھ وہ طبعاً بڑے متین، سنجیدہ، شریف اور وضعدار تھے، ان کے علم سے زیادہ ان کے اخلاق و شرافت کا اثر پڑتا تھا، دارالمصنفین سے ان کو دہرا تعلق تھا، ایک علمی و ادبی دوسرا وطنی، ماہل ضلع اعظم گڑھ ان کا وطن تھا، ہائی اسکول تک ان کی تعلیم بھی اعظم گڑھ میں ہوئی تھی، اسی زمانہ سے ان کو دارالمصنفین سے تعلق تھا، جو ہر زمانہ میں یکساں قائم رہا، جب تک وہ لکھنؤ میں رہے، اکثر ان...

PHYSICAL THERAPY TREATMENT IN POSTNATAL WOMEN

Background: The postnatal period starts at the time when a mother gives birth to a baby; all changes that occur during pregnancy come back to a normal state like hormonal levels, size of the uterus, and weight. According to WHO this is the most ignorant period for postnatal women and their children by the society which is a bitter reality that’s why death is common in many mothers and children during the postnatal period. In Physical therapy, Gynecological rehabilitation is an important part of treatment and also a topic of consideration for referrals to doctors in the postnatal period to improve the issues related to postnatal women. Objective: To enhance the knowledge regarding the role of Physical therapy in the postnatal period of women. Search Strategy: This is a review article with extracts from various search engines like PubMed, CDC, MP, MCHI, Google scholar, Sci-Hub, etc. It is used to increase the knowledge regarding various treatment options in physical therapy that are helpful for postnatal women without causing side effects. Conclusion: Physical therapy consists of many interventions that can be beneficial, and it improves the quality of life of postnatal women.

Human Resource Development of Teachers at Elementary and Secondary Level

Human Resource Management has many functions. Human Resource Development is just one of the functions within Human Resource Management. Human Resource Development is the frameworks for helping employees develop their personal skills, knowledge and abilities. Human Resource Development is a set of planned and systematic activities designed by an organization or Human Resource Department to provide its employees with the necessary skills to meet current and future demands of organization and society. This study was aimed to assess the deficiencies in in-service training contents/design for Teachers at primary and secondary level in Punjab. Main objectives of the study were: (1) To investigate the present in-service training practices in Punjab; (2) To explore the deficiencies in in-service training contents/design; (3) To investigate whether skills for modern teachers were inculcated in the training; (4) To investigate that presentation skills of teachers were main focus of training. The population of the study consisted of all Trainers and Trainees (Teachers) at Elementary and Secondary level in Punjab. The sample of the study consisted of 665 Trainer and Trainee and for Supplementary Questionnaire the sample consisted of 621 Trainer and Trainee. Questionnaires were used for data collection. Two separate questionnaires were prepared for Trainers and Trainees. A Supplementary questionnaire was also prepared to address the remaining questions about Technology, Multi grade teaching, and Disaster management. Questionnaires were personally administered to the respondents. Data collected through the above-mentioned research instruments, were tabulated, analyzed and discussed category wise as Trainers and Trainee. All questions were developed on three points scale. xix The weight-age was given as (1) Mostly (2) To Some Extent (3) Not at All. For Statistical treatment chi- square was applied. It was not possible for the researcher to collect data from whole Punjab, hence the study as delimited to (1) Rawalpindi Division: Data Was collected from two Districts, Attock and Rawalpindi (2) Gujranwala Division: Data was collected from District Gujranwala This study is beneficial for trainers, trainees as well as Govt. of Pakistan Education Sector. Most of the findings of the study shows satisfactory results, hence many areas were found neglected which needs attention and needs to be addressed properly.
