Agroforestry has appealed substantial curiosity in recent times because of its radical potential to preserve and upsurge farm productivity round the globe. Productivity of agroforestry systems mainly depends upon interaction of growth limiting factors (space, water, nutrients, shade etc.). Incompatible alley cropping systems (agroforestry systems) may undesirably upset crop productivity in semi-arid regions on account of intensified competition. It is, therefore, imperative to develop appropriate alley cropping systems comprising trees with suitable understorey crop(s) and/or grass(es) with multi-dimensional complementarity, and application of suitable soil amendments (as nutrient source) to prevaricate losses in biomass productivity/harvestable product(s)/crop yield(s). Adoption of agroforestry systems and application of suitable soil amendments simultaneously improve soil properties and biomass productivity of the ecosystem. The objectives of present research work were to evaluate effect of application of inorganic and organic amendments in different types of agroforestry systems in 2-year field experiments on biomass productivity, soil physiochemical properties and salt dynamics in soil profile. The experiments were carried out at Biosaline Research Station (BSRS), Pakka Anna, Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Agroforestry systems included agrisilviculture systems i.e., Acacia and Eucalyptus wheat based systems and silvipastoral systems i.e., Acacia and Eucalyptus para grass based systems established in saline environment. Biomass production of different components of the systems was recorded with due course of time. In agrisilviculture systems, more compatibility was perceived in Acacia wheat based alley cropping systems in contrast to Eucalyptus wheat based systems as the former supported higher growth of understorey wheat crop. Higher trend in growth and yield parameters of wheat was observed in open field systems (full sunlight) whereas; it was lower in Acaciabased systems and lowest in Eucalyptus based system in general (control conditions). Application of nitrogen fertilizer and farm yard manure in combination further enhanced biomass production and soil improvement process. Soil properties (pH, electrical conductivity and sodium adsorption ratio) as affected by different systems showed that these properties improved much in Acacia-based systems. Application of nitrogen with farm yard manure further improved the soil properties. In silvipastoral systems, more compatibility was observed in Acacia-para grass based systems as compared to Eucalyptus based systems because the former system supported higher growth of understorey para grass component. Higher trend in growth and production of para grass was observed in open field systems (full sunlight) whereas; it was lower in Acacia-based systems and lowest in Eucalyptus based system. Application of amendments (gypsum and farm yard manure) in combination further enhanced biomass production and soil improvement process. Soil properties (pH, EC and SAR) as affected by different systems showed that these properties improved much in Acacia based systems.

سبز بستیوں کے غزال

سبز بستیوں کے غزال

                سانجھ پبلی کیشنز سے 2018ء میں چھپنے والا ناطق کی غزلیات کا ایک مجموعہ سر بستیوں کے غزال بھی ہے۔اس کتاب کا انتساب شمس الرحمان فاروقی کے نام ہے اس میں کل 54غزلیں شامل ہیں۔اس میں انہوں نے پنجاب کی سرزمیں ،کھیت کھلیان ،پھل پھول،ہریالی یہاں تک کہ پنجاب میں جڑے رشتے ،اسی مٹی سے اٹھنے والی خوشبو اور اس سر زمین کے لیے جان دے دینے والے رشتوں کو اردو غزل میں شاعری کے ذریعے پروان چڑھایا ہے۔

                علی اکبر ناطق نے اپنی تمام تر تحریری جمالیات  کے ساتھ پنجاب کی خوبصورتی کو عیاں کرکے ایک نئی مثال قائم کی ہے۔ان کی شاعری میں کچھ ایسے الفاظ کا بھی استعمال کیا گیا ہے جو کہ پنجابی کے ہیں یوں تو بہت سے شاعر حضرات ایسے ہیں جو اپنی شاعری میں پنجابی کے الفاظ استعمال کرتے ہیں۔لیکن ناطق نے اردو غزل میں الفاظ کا اصل اور بالکل منفرد طریقے سے  تخلیقی استعمال کیا ہے۔شمس الرحمٰن لکھتے  ہیں:

’’ناطق کی غزل اپنے قصے کی دیواروں اور کھیتوں کی سبز مٹی سے جڑی ہے اس کی زبان کا خمیر اپنی دھرتی کی خوشبوؤں سے اٹھا ہے۔اس کا ایک ایک مصرع اس کے اٹوٹ  سمبندھ کی گواہی دیتا ہے۔یہ ہنر آفر ین شعری طلسم کسی کاوش کا نتیجہ نہیں بلکہ وہ الہامی  اور وجدانی  توفیق کی جزا ہے جس میں ناطق کو اپنی شاداب و خوشی  رنگ پائینوں والی دھرتی سے باندھے رکھا ہے۔‘‘(8)

                ناطق کی شاعری میں جس طرح منظر نگاری سے کام لیا جاتاہے۔قاری کو محسوس ہوتا ہے کہ جیسے نقش بولتے ہیں۔ان منظروں میں وہ سماں ہوتا ہے کہ جیسے تاریخ خود اپنی وضاحت کررہی ہو۔ حال میں ہونے والے اور مستقبل...

IMPLEMENTASI PEMBELAJARAN KITAB TALIM AL-MUTA ALLIM DALAM PEMBENTUKAN AKHLAK SANTRI DI PONDOK PESANTREN ALKHAIRAAT MADINATUL ILMI DOLO

The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation or application of instructional books Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim the moral formation of students at boarding school Alkhairaat Madinatul Ilmi Dolo. The qualitative method is used as a method of approach in this study by using observation data collection, interviews, and documentation are analyzed by using the method of data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The research indicate is result of learning book Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim  is one book that discusses the presentation on moral learning that must be owned by the students in their studies. Terpokus description on what attitudes must be done by the students in studying good relationship with the teacher (Kiai), with fellow students, as well as how it should be enacting the books (the book) he learned it. In other words, this book is a guideline or code of conduct that students succeed in their studies either in accordance with laid down by Islam. By studying the book Ta'li m al-Muta'allim such, the students should be able to practice and broadcast both inside and outside the boarding school / community. As for the implementation of Learning book Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim  the moral formation of students at boarding school Alkhairaat Madinatul Ilmi Dolo is providing direct guidance of teaching through the book, namely by providing appropriate role models that are suggested or taught by the book Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim. Therefore, application of the Book Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim  between teachers and students in learning is usually not optimal, the influence of the factors of teachers, for example exemplary. So, it should be an important practice, not only wants his students to master learning the book but have a direct practice.

Mapping Genes Causing Congenital Syndromic and Non-Syndromic Skin Disorders in Consanguineous Families

The research work, presented in the dissertation, described characterization of eighteen families segregating various types of isolated and syndromic skin disorders. Four of the families showed clinical features of congenital ichthyosis, two junctional epidermolysis bullosa, four hair loss disorders, two isolated spoon shaped nail/koilonychias, two hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), one each with ectodermal dysplasia syndactyly syndrome, hypotrichosis, palmoplantar keratoderma and nail dysplasia, hypotrichosis-anonychia-post-axial polydactyly and hair-nailteeth-skin type ectodermal dysplasia. Clinical investigation of affected members in each family was carried out with the help of medical officers/dermatologists working at local government and private hospitals. Based on the clinical spectrum developed in each family, genetic characterization was performed by typing microsatellite and SNP markers. Further, disease causing variants were searched using exome and /or Sanger sequencing. In one case effect of the mutation was validated through exon trapping. Bioinformatics tools and protein modeling studies were performed where possible. In addition to associating skin phenotypes with three novel genes, seven novels and six known mutations were identified in families segregating other skin-related clinical features. Two novel missense mutations p.Asp34Glu and p.Gly439Ser were identified in the PNPLA1 and ST14 gene, respectively causing two different types of ichthyosis. In a related phenotype called junctional epidermolysis bullosa, observed in two other families, sequence analysis revealed a novel non-sense (p.Ser3298*) and a previously reported missense variant (p.Arg1303Gln) in the LAMA3 and COL17A1 gene, respectively. Four other novel variants including p.Gln230*, p.Trp485*, p.Gln417* and p.Leu81Pro were detected in the genes LIPH, CDH3, EDAR and PVRL4, respectively. The mutations in the LIPH and CDH3 produced hair loss disorders, in the EDAR results in hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) and in the PVRL4 results in ectodermal dysplasia cutaneous syndactyly syndrome. Previously reported sequence variants including a missense (p.Pro498Leu) in the DSP gene causing hypotrichosis-palmoplantar keratoderma-nail dysplasia, a missense (p.Asp63Val) in the LPAR6 gene causing hypotrichosis, a missense (p.Gly382Ser) in the EDAR gene causing HED, and a non-sense (p.Arg110*) in the LIPH and a missense (p.Met1Ileu) in the RSPO4 producing hypotrichosis-nail dysplasia (anonychia) -post-axial polydactyly were identified as well.
