Salinity is one of the serious environmental problem that caused reduction in crop productivity due to a number of direct and indirect effects in irrigated areas of arid and semiarid regions. Consortial inocula of rhizobial strains can be a competitive strategy to cope with the problem of salinity stress. In this study, a number of rhizobial strains were isolated from the root nodules of lentil and chickpea from the salt-affected fields. Fast growing rhizobial isolates were assessed for their ability to tolerate salt stress by conducting osmoadaptation assay. These strains were further screened for their ability to promote growth of maize seedlings under salt-stressed axenic conditions. Four most effective isolates (LRM- 5, LRM-10, CRM-7 and CRM-7) were selected and their compatibility for synergism was studied. Performance of these four strains and their combination was evaluated in pot and field trials for their potential to improve growth and yield of maize under salt-stressed conditions. After harvesting the maize, lentil and chickpea crops were grown in the respective pots and plots of fields to study the residual effect of rhizobial inoculation on these legumes. Results showed that salinity stress significantly reduced plant growth, physiological parameters, and yield of maize and increased the antioxidant activities of salt stressed plants many folds but rhizobial inoculation improved these, thus reducing the inhibitory effects of salinity. However, their combined application was more effective under salinity. Further residual effect of inoculated maize impart a significant improvement in nodulation and yields of legume crops grown subsequently. These rhizobial strain from different legumes in a combination could be very effective inoculant to improve productivity of maize-legume cropping system under salt affected conditions. However, the degree to which these inoculants impart benefits to plant growth can vary with soil conditions. A combination of rhizobial strains with multiple traits could be more useful under diverse conditions compared to a strains containing single trait.

حاجی رشید الدین

حاجی رشیدالدین
گذشتہ مہینہ اعظم گڑھ کی ایک پرانی یادگار حاجی رشید الدین صاحب نے بھی وفات پائی، مرحوم ترجمان القرآن مولانا حمیدالدین فراہیؒ کے سگے اور مولانا شبلی مرحوم کے ماموں زاد بھائی تھے، دارالمصنفین سے ان کا تعلق بہت قدیم اور مخلصانہ تھا، اس کی مجلس انتظامیہ کے رکن بھی تھے، مولانا حمید الدین صاحب مرحوم کے بعد مدرستہ الاصلاح سرائے میر کو ان ہی نے سنبھالا تھا، اور عرصہ تک اس کے ناظم رہے، ادھر چند سال سے ضعف پیری کی وجہ سے اس خدمت سے سبکدوش ہوگئے تھے، طبعاً بڑے نیک سیرت، پاک دل اور مرنجاں مرنج تھے، مولانا شبلی کے اعزہ میں سب سے زیادہ سن رسیدہ اب وہی رہ گئے تھے، نوے سال کے قریب عمر تھی، ادھر کئی سال سے بالکل معذور ہوگئے تھے، ہوش و حواس نے بھی جواب دیدیا تھا، صرف رشتۂ حیات باقی تھا، افسوس کہ وہ بھی منقطع ہوگیا، اﷲ تعالیٰ مرحوم کو اپنی رحمتِ کاملہ سے نوازے۔
(شاہ معین الدین ندوی، نومبر ۱۹۵۹ء)

Strategic Flexibility and its Impact on Raising the Performance of Banks

Strategic issues are the core of the work of business organizations and occupy the main pillar of the work of commercial banks, whose fields of work and their competitive environment have developed. Strategic flexibility has become an urgent and binding issue for the commercial banking sector to keep pace with environmental changes and developments and raise the performance of banks to keep pace with environmental developments. The research aims to delve into two very important variables by doing The commercial banking sector, which is flexibility   The strategy and performance of the banks. Six commercial banks were chosen to be happy with the research (Baghdad, Iraqi investment, Gulf, investment development, Al-Mansour, Babylon). A member of bank managers, people's officials, and accountants in commercial banks. The data were subjected to statistical analysis by applying the statistical program (spss). The results demonstrated an impact on the overall level of the two variables. The study (strategic flexibility, bank performance) The findings revealed the existence of relationships between (banking service flexibility, competitive flexibility, investment flexibility, and human resource flexibility). And bank performance at the sub-dimension level (financial dimension, customer dimension, internal operations dimension, education and growth dimension). The study came to a set of conclusions and suggestions. 

Effect of Additional Lumbosacral Corset on the Outcome of Patients With Non-Specific Acute Low Back Pain at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is a common problem world over affecting 60-90% of the population in their lifetime. It is a leading reason for hospital admission, healthcare spending, workplace absenteeism and years lived with disability. Up to 90% of patients suffering from low back pain do not have a serious pathology warranting imaging or further intervention besides symptom relief. These are categorized as having non- specific low back pain. This has a good prognosis running a short course of 3 to 6 weeks. The management of non-specific acute LBP entails analgesia and non-pharmacologic interventions (back school and physical therapy). Many modalities of physical therapy are often employed for non-specific acute LBP. The use of lumbosacral corset as a physical therapy for non-specific acute LBP has not been clearly supported with scientific evidence. However, it is commonly prescribed for this category of patients. It is important to assess the effect of this modality on the outcome of patients with non- specific acute LBP. Objective: To assess the outcome (change in back specific disability) of patients with non-specific acute low back pain treated with a lumbosacral corset in addition to a standard analgesic protocol compared to those on a standard analgesic protocol alone over a 3- week duration at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya. Methods: A two-arm single blinded randomized controlled trial was carried out involving 82 consecutively sampled patients. Patients were randomized to analgesic protocol alone or analgesic protocol and a lumbosacral corset and followed up weekly for three weeks. Back specific disability was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The primary outcome was the mean change in the ODI score between the two arms. We analyzed the data by use of repeated masures ANOVA. Results: Seventy-nine patients were analysed. The baseline characteristics were similar. There was a significant effect of time on the ODI (F=(1.38, 106.56)=207.89, P=.000). There was a statistically significant difference in ODI score between the two arms favouring the intervention arm ( F (1, 27)=4.23, p=.043). The difference in pain score and days off duty was not statistically significant. The number of days off duty was comparable between the two arms. Compliance to use of lumbosacral corset was good with mean of 1 day off the corset. The maximal change in both ODI and pain score occurred between the first and second reviews indicating maximum clinical improvement with the first week. Conclusion: Compared
