Sunflower is an improtant oil seed crop that have potential to bridge up the huge gap between oil production and consumption in Pakistan. Present study was carried out to evaluate the potential of beneficial root associted bacteria with ultimate objective to improve sunflower growth, nutrient uptake, yield and oil contents. Total 67 bacterial isolates were purified from four locations of Pakistan and characterized for plant beneficial traits like nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production. The isolates showed the production of IAA (0.06 to 10.65 μg mL-1), solubilization of inorganic phosphate (9.71 to 37.34 μg mL-1) and nitrogenase activity of 34.96 to 146.33 ηMol mg-1 protein h-1. Ten potent PGPR strains exhibiting more than one plant beneficial traits in vitro were found metabolically diverse (in phenotypic microarray analysis) showing their wide-range of environmental adaptibility. The screened isolates were identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and they were found to belong to Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Enterobacter and Alcaligenes genera. The nitrogen fixing strains were confirmed for the property through nifH gene sequencing with 96-98 % similarity to different strains. Phosphate solubilization and organic acid production (gluconic, lactic, malic and tartaric) ability of selected strains is positivly correlated with decrease in pH of growth medium (r = 0.904 to 0.997). Only three out of eight P-solubilizing bacteria showed the presence of pqqE gene which were also able to produce gluconic acid. The pqqE gene sequence of Pseudomonas marginalis Fs-3, Enterobacter sp. Fs-11 and Pseudomonas sp. Ms-16 showed 96%, 98% and 98% identity with Gluconobacter oxydans, Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae, respectively. A comparative phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA, nifH and pqqE genes revealed considerable phylogenetic differneces at species as well as genus level. Nitrogen fixing Pseudomnas trivialis Fs-9, Pseudomonas sp. Fs-15 and P- solubilizing Enterobacter sp. Fs-11 were checked for root colonization through transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that these strains were intense colonizers of sunflower rhizosphere. Moreover, sunflower seedlings, inoculated with yellow flourescent protein (yfp) labelled strain Fs-11, were obsrved under confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) which confirmed its potential of colonizing roots. Plant inoculation experiment with nitrogen fixing strains (Pseudomonas trivialis Fs-9, Pseudomonas sp. Fs-15, Bacillus sp. Ms-7 and Alcaligenes faecalis Ms-8) significantly (P≤ 0.05) increased sunflower growth and nitrogen uptake or nitrogen fixed by Pseudomonas and Alcaligenes spp. as compared to un-inoculated plants. In another pot experiment, phosphate solubilizing strains (Pseudomonas marginalis Fs- 3, P. trivialis Fs-9, Enterobacter sp. Fs-11, Pseudomonas sp. Fs-13, Bacillus sp. Ms- 7, Pseudomonas sp. Ms-16, Alcaligenes faecalis Ss-2 and Bacillus sp. Ps-5) significanlty (P≤ 0.05) enhanced plant growth and phosphate uptake as compared to un-treated plants. In green house experiment conducted in soil to determine the colonization potential and effect on sunflower growth of rifampicin resistant derivatives of Enterobacter sp. Fs-11 and Pseudomonas sp. Fs-15, strain Fs-11 and Fs-15 were sucessfully recovered from sunflower rhizosphere and rhizoplane up to 30 days after transplanting at a cell density of 6-8 cfu g-1of root fresh wt. or rhizosphere soil. Both the strains significantly (P≤ 0.05) augmented sunflower growth parameters in single inoculation, but the effect on plants inoculated with mixed inoculum (Fs-11 + Fs-15) was found non-significant as compared to un-inoculated plants. Three field experiments were conducted at Faisalabad, Peshawar and Rawalakot and inoculation of strains Fs-9, Fs-11 and Fs-15 significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased sunflower growth, nutrient uptake, yield and oil contents as compared to un- inoculated treatment with half dose and without fertilizer. Sunflower achene yield and oil contents were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) correlated with growth and physiological parameters of sunflower. On the basis of in vitro and in vivo studies, it is concluded that strains Fs-9, Fs-11 and Fs-15 are potential PGPR that can enhance sunflower yield and oil contents by increasing nutrient uptake and IAA production. These strains can be used as bio-inoculats for sunflower crop along with the reduced dose of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.

منشی میراں بخش جلوہ انیسویں صدی کے ربع آخر میں سیالکوٹ میں اردو میں شعرو شاعری کرتے تھے۔ انجمنِ حمایتِ اسلام کے جلسوں میں شریک ہوتے ہوئے نظمیں پڑھتے تھے۔ آپ سراج الاخبار(جہلم) کے سیالکوٹ میں نمائندہ تھے۔ جلوہ کے پانچ شعری مجموعے گلشنِ نعت‘ جلوہ حق‘ تحفہ جلوہ‘ نوحہ جلوہ‘ دیوان جلوہ اور ایک نثری کتاب جو جلوہ کی شعری تصانیف کے بارے میں معلومات فراہم کرتی ہے۔ شائع ہو چکی ہیں۔(۵۱) جلوہ کی مذکورہ بالا کتب نایاب ہیں۔
مولانا عبد المجید سالک اپنی تالیف’’ذکرِ اقبال‘‘ میں جلوہ سیالکوٹی کے بارے میں لکھتے ہیں:
ایک شاعر منشی میراں بخش جلوہ سیالکوٹی تھے جو اکثر انجمنِ حمایتِ اسلام میں بھی آ کر نظمیں پڑھا کرتے تھے۔ نہ جانے کہاں سے شعر کہنے کی لت پڑ گئی۔ شعر کیا تھے پکوڑے تل لیا کرتے تھے۔ ان دنوں خزانے کے ایک کلرک اہلِ زبان تھے جلوہ صاحب ان کو اکثر شعر سنایا کرتے تھے۔ ایک روز انہوں نے تنگ آ کر کہا بھائی جلوہ تمہارے شعروں سے چھیچھڑوں کی بو آتی ہے۔ جلوہ صاحب تائو کھا کر شاہ صاحب کی خدمت میں حاضر ہوئے اور ان کو اپنے اشعار سنا کر پوچھا کہ یہ اشعار کیسے ہیں شاہ صاحب۔ شاہ صاحب سے مراد مولوی سید میر حسن ہیں ‘ نے فرمایا سچ پوچھتے ہو تو تم نے شعروں کا جھٹکا کر دیا ہے۔(۵۲)
میراں بخش جلوہ فن تاریخ گوئی میں مہارت رکھتے تھے۔ شاعرِ کشمیر منشی محمد دین فوق کے چچا منشی غلام محمد خادم کا بیٹا محمود فوت ہوا تو جلوہ نے کئی تاریخیں کہیں جن میں سے ایک یہ ہے:

Analisis Faktor Determinan Pengungkapan Sustainability Report (Studi Empiris pada Perusahaan yang Terdaftar dalam Indeks LQ–45 Tahun 2019 – 2022)

This research aims to find out whether gender diversity, audit committees, institutional ownership, and employee pressure has a significant effect on the sustainability report. This research method is a quantitative research by taking samples using a purposive sampling technique based on predetermined characteristics of 20 companies listed in the LQ-45 index for 2019-2022. The type of data used is secondary data and the method of analysis used is panel data regression using Eviews. The results of the study show that the calculation of the hypothesis, namely gender diversity, has no significant effect on the sustainability report with a significant level of 0.5341> 0.05. The audit committee has no significant effect on the sustainability report with a significant level of 0.6224>0.05. Institutional ownership has no significant effect on the sustainability report with a significant level of 0.1466>0.05. Employee pressure has a positive and significant effect on the sustainability report with a significant level of 0.0105<0.05. For simultaneous testing, an F count of 3.812784 is obtained with a probability of 0.000022 <0.05, meaning that gender diversity, audit committee, institutional ownership, and employee pressure simultaneously influence the sustainability report.

Causes and Remedies of Social Exclusion of Students With Hearing Impairment

The main purpose of this study was to identify the causes of social exclusion of students with hearing impairment with reference to home and school. An intensive review of literature covered related topics such as characteristics of social exclusion, dimensions of social exclusion, different models of social exclusion, marginalized children in Pakistan and initiatives taken by government, and the role NGOs and INGOs in promoting and implementing inclusive education in Pakistan. On the basis of literature review, a model was proposed to measure social exclusion; this linear model addressed two major sources of social exclusion (Home environment and School environment). Two Likert scales and one questionnaire was developed, one for students, one for teachers and one for parents of students with hearing impairment. A panel of experts assessed the validity of the instruments. All three were then pilot tested. A sample of students (n=560) studying in the classes 6-10 from seven divisions of Punjab, their teachers (n=250) and parents (n=250) were selected through convenient sampling. The data collected from students with hearing impairment, parents and teachers were analysized. On the basis of data analysis, major causes of social exclusions were identified related to home and school. Researcher proposed remedies in second part of data analysis to overcome the factors causing social exclusion in home and school. The plan of remedies was sent to a panel of experts for its validation. It was finalized on the basis of qualitative feed back of experts.
