Glaucoma, the collection of syndromes, is the 2nd leading basis of vision loss in the world. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), the mostly occurring form is described by optic nerve head excavation, defective fields of vision & increased or regular intraocular pressure (IOP), with no sign of closed angle on Gonioscopic examination. Though the actual reason of POAG is unclear yet but inherited factors may perform key function in understanding actual mechanism of the disease. This study was conducted for linkage analysis between POAG and two genes (MYOC & CYP1B1) related with POAG in the people of Sindh province of Pakistan and elaborate the protecting properties of antioxidants (Resveratrol & Ascorbate) on cultured HTMC subjected to reactive oxygen species. For this purpose, twenty-six families having multiple affected members diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) were enrolled through hospitals from different cities of Sindh, Pakistan and were numbered from POAG-1 to POAG-26. After genomic DNA isolation, exclusion studies were carried out to analyze enrolled families for linkage to MYOC and CYP1B1 genes. Out of twenty-six families, two families were found linked with the MYOCgene and one family was found linked with CYP1B1 gene. In family POAG-26, a novel mutation for MYOC gene, c.1130 C>G resulting in p.T377R was identified where as in family POAG-06, one reported mutation for MYOC in Indian population, c.144G>T resulting in p.Q48H was found. In another family POAG-02, a novel mutation for CYP1B1 gene, c.650 G>A resulting in p.D217N was detected. For exploration of potential effects of antioxidants (Resveratrol & Ascorbic acid) on cultured Human Trabecular meshwork cell line, Cells were purchased from The ScienCell Research Laboratories, Canada. Cultured HTM cells were co-incubated with varying concentrations of H2O2 in growth media for twenty-four hours. Effects of different concentrations of H2O2 on TM cell metabolism were determined by observing the cells under light microscope and detecting mitochondrial enzymes functional activity with the help of MTT assay. It was proved that Resveratrol has more protecting properties than the Ascorbic acid, even at 4.0 mM H2O2, the TM cellular movement was 76%. Underneath co-treatment circumstances, the 1mM Resveratrol maintained TM cell metabolism. Related to H2O2- treated TM cells, resveratrol enhanced role of mitochondria up to 4.0 mM H2O2 (76%). For evaluation of protective effects of co-incubation of Ascorbate and Resveratrol was because of metabolic alteration of Trabecular Meshwork cells, which were pre-treated by Ascorbate and Resveratrol for 24 hours followed by H2O2 treatment termed as “pretreat-only’’. Highly significant differences were noticed for the 1.0 mM H2O2 concentration (Chi Square test, p=0.0001). A considerable decrease in metabolism of Trabecular Meshwork cells was noticed estimating sixty one percent at 1.0 mM of hydrogen peroxide associated to Ascorbic acid – ninety nine percent and Resveratrol ninety nine percent (p=0.0001).

اہلیہ، مولانا سید ابوالحسن علی ندوی
یہ خبرانتہائی رنج وغم اور صدمہ کے ساتھ سنی گئی کہ حضرت مولانا ابوالحسن علی ندوی مدظلہ العالی کی اہلیہ محترمہ زینے سے گرنے کی وجہ سے کچھ عرصہ شدید علالت میں مبتلا ہوکر انتقال فرماگئیں۔اِنَّالِلّٰہِ وَاِنَّا اِلَیْہِ راجعُون۔
مرحومہ بڑی ہی نیک وپاکباز خاتون تھیں۔اس بڑھاپے میں بھی وہ دینی خدمات میں ہمہ تن مصروف تھیں۔اپنے نیک دل شوہر اورعالم اسلام کی مقتدر ہستی حضرت مولانا ابوالحسن علی ندوی مدظلہ کی علمی ودینی خدمات میں معین تھیں۔ ایسے وقت میں جب کہ حضرت مولٰینا ابوالحسن علی میاں مدظلہ بھی ضعیف العمری کے دور میں ہیں ان کی موت کاصدمہ اورزیادہ ہوجاتا ہے۔حضرت مولٰینا ابوالحسن علی ندوی مدظلہ العالی دامت برکاتہم کی دینی وعلمی خدمات آج ہر جگہ تحسین وستائش کی نگاہ سے دیکھی جاتی ہیں۔ہمارا اندازہ ہے کہ اس میں مرحومہ کی قناعت پسندی و صبر کابڑا زبردست دخل ہوگا۔مولٰیناعبدالماجد دریا بادیؒ نے اپنی آپ بیتی میں قرآن پاک کی تفسیر اوراپنی علمی خدمات کے ذیل میں اپنی اہلیہ محترمہ کے تعاون اور ان کی صبروقناعت پسندی وسلیقہ شعاری کاذکر شکرواحسان مندی کے ساتھ کیاہے۔ہم سمجھتے ہیں کہ علماء کرام مال واسباب سے خالی ہوتے ہیں۔وہ دین کے سچے خادم ہوتے ہیں۔دنیا ان کے لیے کوئی اہمیت کی حامل نہیں ہوتی ۔علماء کرام کی قومی وعلمی دینی خدمات میں ان کی رفیقۂ حیات کے ایثار وقربانی سے سرشار کردار کازبردست حصہ رہتاہے اس لیے علماء کرام کی خدمات میں ان کی رفیقۂ حیات کی اہمیت مسلمہ امر ہے ۔ اور اس لحاظ سے محترم حضرت مولانا علی میاں مدظلہ کی اہلیہ محترمہ کے انتقال سے ہم سب کو صدمۂ عظیم پہنچا ہے۔

اسلامی تعلیمات کی روشنی میں مروجہ پاکستانی ٹریفک قوانین کی پاسداری کی اہمیت

Islam is a comprehensive code of conduct which encompasses to each sphere of human life. This also owns and endorses those manmade rules which serve the cause of humanity and not entering to its fundamentals. Adherence to Pakistani Traffic rules also falls under the preview of the same doctrine. It is very pertinent to note here, that the same traffic rules such as fastening of seat built, proper use of indicators, speed control etc. Have been devised to ensure the safety which starts from a pedestrian and ends up to a rider of any vehicle class. Any violation of traffic rules is an indirect breech of divine discipline imposed by Allah the Almighty. If the violation costs any damage, injury or fatal accident, this will directly be dealt under the principles set by Islam. This study aims at highlighting the significance of adherence to traffic rules which is directly linked to the ground safety. This ultimately serves the main purpose of saving any precious human life. If the same is ensured, no doubt the purpose of the holy verse would be fulfilled

Development of a Model of Organizational Citizenship Behavior Ocb : A Comparative Study of University Teachers from a Developing and a Developed Country

Extra-role behavior also called organizational citizenship behavior is critical for organizational effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to develop and test an integrated model of organizational citizenship behavior based on the framework of organizational effectiveness suggested by Katz (1964) in the specific context of university teachers. The study is specifically aimed at finding the individual and joint direct and indirect effect of human resource management practices (HRP) and transformational leadership style (TSF) on affective organizational commitment (AC) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of university teachers in Pakistan (developing country) and England (developed country). No other study has modeled these variables together. Data was collected through mailed and self-administered questionnaires consisting of standardized scales. Two samples of university teachers, one from Pakistan (n=402) and other from England (n=188), based on complex probability sampling were used in the study. One-way ANOVA was used to find the association of demographic factors (public and private nature of university, designation, qualification, tenure, gender, marital status and age) with affective commitment and citizenship behavior of university teachers. It was found that most of demographic characteristics caused significant variation in both affective commitment and citizenship behavior of teachers in both Pakistan and England. Correlation analysis showed significant positive associations among all four study variables. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to find direct effect of predictors (HRP and TSF) on mediating (AC) and dependent (OCB) variables and indirect effect of predictors on dependent variable with mediation of affective commitment both jointly and individually. It was found that HRP and TSF have significant direct effects on both AC and OCB in Pakistan and England individually as well as jointly. AC is also significantly related to OCB in both Pakistan and England but variation explained by AC in OCB in England is substantially higher than in Pakistan. AC is also found perfectly mediating the relationship between both predictors and OCB in all three cases (1. HRP-AC-OCB, 2. TSF-AC-OCB, 3. HRP,TSF-AC-OCB) in England while in Pakistan mediation of AC is just partial in all of these cases. Results have been discussed in the light of past studies and implications for managers and researchers have also been suggested.
