Dengue virus (DENV) infection is a mosquito born infectious disease. Its diagnostic is utmost important for treatment, as the symptoms of disease are quite similar to other diseases. Current pathological diagnostics methods available are reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RT-PCR is used to detect the virus itself while ELISA is used to detect non-structural protein-1 (NS1) and antibodies like immunoglobulin-M (IgM) and immunoglobulin-G (IgG). Existing methods e.g. virus isolation, RT-PCR and ELISA have certain disadvantages like more time consuming, false-positive/false-negative results and expensive as compared to Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopic technique provides molecular signatures, minimum running cost and online results. Raman spectra of biological samples combined with a suitable statistical data-mining technique like partial least squares (PLS) regression can be used to devise a new method for diagnosis of DENV infection in human blood sera. In present studies, this technique is successfully applied for the diagnostic of DENV infection based on three steps. A graphical user interface (GUI) was specially designed and its code was developed in MATLAB (Mathworks 2009a) programming language to implement PLS for the presented research work. First step: Raman spectra of ELISA confirmed NS1 positive and negative sera samples are discriminated by PLS regression. Analysis of regression coefficients, which differentiate these groups, shows an increasing trend for phosphatidylinositol, ceramide and amide-III, and a decreasing trend for thiocyanate in the DENV infected serum. Second step: Raman spectra of samples, with known value of ELISA based AI of IgM are discriminated by PLS regression. Analysis of regression coefficients revealed that concentration of asparagine, glutamate, galactosamine etc. were found to increase while concentration of fructose, cholesterol, cellobiose, and arabinose were found to decrease with increasing values of antibody index (AI) of IgM. Third step: Raman spectra of samples, with known value of ELISA based AI of IgG are discriminated by PLS regression. Analysis of regression coefficients revealed that myristic acid, coenzyme-A, alanine etc. were found to increase, while amide III, collagen, proteins, fatty acids, phospholipids and fucose were found to decrease with increasing values of AI of IgG. Raman spectroscopy provides not only the diagnosis of DENV infection, but it also enables the detailed insight of the abnormalities appearing in molecular composition of a sample. Importantly, Raman spectra @ 532 nm excitation were used to investigate the possible use of lactate as biomarker for DENV infection. It was found that spectral difference in healthy and infected samples is due to an elevated level of lactate in DENV infected group.

عزیزم میاں اسلم سلمہ(پروفیسر محمد اسلم)کا۱۴/مارچ کالکھا ہوا خط ۱۹/ مارچ کو لاہور سے علی گڑھ میں موصول ہواتواس میں لکھا تھا کہ کل یعنی ۱۳/مارچ کو خواجہ عبدالرشید کاانتقال ہوگیا۔پڑھتے ہی جی دھک سے ہوکر رہ گیا اور گزشتہ چالیس برس کے عہد اخوت ومحبت کاایک ایک واقعہ یادآکر دل کو اشک خون رُلا گیا۔اخبارات نے ان کی عمر ستربرس لکھی ہے۔مرحوم خوب تندرست اور توانا تھے لیکن چندبرس سے ان کی بینائی خودبخود کم ہونی شروع ہوئی۔ وہ خود بھی بڑے پایہ کے ڈاکٹرتھے اورنامی گرامی ماہرین چشم سے مشورہ بھی کیا مگر کوئی فائدہ نہیں ہوا۔مارچ۱۹۸۱ء میں جب ان سے لاہور میں آخری ملاقات ہوئی اس وقت ان کی نگاہ برائے نام رہ گئی تھی، چند ماہ کے بعد ہی نابینا ہوگئے۔ آدمی تھے بے حدحساس، نفسیاتی طورپراس حادثہ کاان کے دل ودماغ اورصحت پرغیر معمولی اثر ہوا۔ آخراس صدمہ اوررنج میں ان پر فشار قلب کا حملہ ہوا۔اسپتال میں داخل کیے گئے، وقت موعود آچکا تھا، چاردن کے بعد انتقال سے چارگھنٹے پہلے کلمہ طیبہ کاورد زبان پر تھا پھرزبان بند ہوگئی اوراسی عالم میں جان جاں آفریں کے سپرد کردی۔ اناﷲ واناالیہ راجعون۔

سماجی رویوں کی تشکیل کا نبوی منہج اخلاق

Morality is the essence of humanity and is a basic need of every society for the development, prosperity, sincerity and brotherhood. Nobody can present good character without morality. Our beloved and last Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم (settled clear rules in this regards in every dimension of life. In this paper an attempt was made to discussed the Prophetic code of ethics regarding to three basic dimensions of life, political ethics, teaching and preaching ethics and ethics in family life.

Prevention of Dos/Ddos Attacks Through Expert Honey Mesh Security Infrastructure

Today, Denial of Service (DOS) and Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDOS) are rapidly increasing on the Internet. DDOS attacks are used to overload the network infrastructure and services. Such kinds of attacks lead to the unavailability of services across networks. In this research, different types of DOS/DDOS attacks and prevention measures are also discussed. Honey pots can be used to ensure the continuous availability of services across networks. Honey pot is defined as a trap that mimics, notice and records overall activities of the attacker. Honey pot is used on server side, recognizes different kinds of attacks, protects user?s confidential data and records all malicious activities. Minimal computer resources are required in honey pots. These can be used as potential sources of risk for the network. Honey pots have a limited preventive character and a high degree of intrusion detection. In this research, Honey pots will be implemented in a demilitarized zone where two firewalls are used to protect internal and external traffic of the network. In suggested solution, honey pots are implemented as virtual machines (VM) which can be hosted on some physical servers. VM?s share resources, so multiple honey pots can be hosted on one server. The security mechanism of Honey pots VM is same as real servers but some vulnerability is deliberately left in order to trap the attacker. These VM?s observe the incoming traffic and notice the malicious activities continuously, once an attack is detected, all traffic from attack source will be forwarded to the honey pot VM network. In this way, malicious data will not route towards the production servers. The preventive action will be taken for a DDOS attack through the honey mesh system is based on fuzzy rules. Fuzzy control logic is used with reasoning which is approximation value rather than exact values. The purpose of this research is how to prevent different types of DOS/DDOS attacks through expert honey mesh security infrastructure. In this research, software simulation tool DDOSSim will be used to identify and simulate DDOS attacks via defense mechanism. The performance will be evaluated via taxonomy of input and output parameters in order to detect and prevent DDOS attacks.
