Agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. Food security depends upon a sustainable agricultural production and higher levels of yield. Wheat is a major cereal crop of Pakistan that severely faced by weed infestation in lowering approximately 45% wheat yield So, controlling weeds is one of the essential requirements of the production system to enhance yield. Use of herbicides can efficiently control weed populations, but such products have environmental and health hazardous effects along with weed resistance problem. Allelopathy is eco-friendly strategy and therefore useful in controlling weeds and to enhance crop productivity. Keeping in view, the present study was conducted to screen out plant extracts of some plant extracts such as Carica papaya, Lantana camara, Pinus roxburghii and Rhazya stricta for the allelopathic activity against major weeds (i.e. Avena fatua, Chenopodium album, Euphorbia helioscopia Phalaris minor and Rumex dentatus) of wheat crop. The current investigation was based on the hypothesis that the allelopathic potential of plants can be an effective weedicidal tool but should not significantly harm the crop of interest. The preliminary screening of the selected plants were carried out on filter paper, soil and agar in the laboratory by using aqueous, hexane and methanolic extracts and sandwich method. Based on preliminary screening and data on germination percentage, radical and plumule length of weeds, it was observed that methanolic extract of L. camara leaf exhibited significant inhibitory effect on all tested weeds, while wheat plants remained unaffected. Three fractions of leaf methanolic extract of L. camara were obtained by using combiflash. Activity guided isolation of these three fractions showed that fraction 2 was found the most active in suppressing all the tested weeds. Assessment 2 of physiological effect on weed species following application of fraction 2 showed that the total chlorophyll contents and protein contents were suppressed significantly in all tested weeds as compared to their respective controls. Superoxide dismutase and peroxidase contents were increased in T3 (50%) and T2 (75%) while in T1 (100%), superoxide dismutase and peroxidase contents were significantly reduced as compared to their respective controls. The NMR and GC-MS analysis of leaf methanolic combiflash fraction 2 exposed four potentially active compounds i.e., Methyl palmitate, Methyl stearate, Methyl oleate and Methyl linoleate. The allelopathic activity of these potentially active compounds (allelochemicals) were explored first time against tested weeds of wheat crop. This is recommended that identified and purified compounds need to be further evaluated regarding their allelopathic potential compared with the standard herbicides available in the market. The same will be tested against a variety of other problematic weeds of various important crops. The cost-effective measurement of these identified compounds with the available products.

ماتم

کرنا ہو کسی زن کو جب کسی غم کا ماتم
چوڑی اپنے ہاتھ کی وہ توڑ دیتی ہے
سجنا چھوڑ دیتی ہے سنورنا چھوڑ دیتی ہے

پر لاحق ہو کسی مرد کو جب کوئی غم
تو کیسے کرے وہ اس کا ماتم

چوڑی آخر وہ نہ پہنے
غم میں جس کو توڑے وہ
نہ مثلِ عورت وہ بھی سنورے

ماتم میں جس کو چھوڑے وہ
کیا کرے پھر وہ بیچارا
کس کا لے آخر سہارا

ہاں اک بات آخر ہونے لگتی ہے
کہ داڑھی اُس کی وضع کھونے لگتی ہے
جبیں پہ غم سجا لیتا ہے وہ
اور بال اپنے بڑھا لیتا ہے وہ

آؤ دیکھو تو سہی میں نے
وہ سب چلن اپنا لیے ہیں
اور بال بھی اپنے بڑھا لیے ہیں

The Effect of Counseling and Training on Public Knowledge About Making Handsanitizer from Betel Extract

Hand sanitizers may help increase hand hygiene compliance as the results of invailability of basic needs for cleaning such as soap or water. Since alcohol has an irritating effect on the skin and burns quickly, it is currently discouraged as an active ingredient. Knowledge of covid 19 is critical for the world to have in order for individuals to be able to make informed choices on how to split the covid 19 transmission chain. This thesis employs a pre-experimental method that employs the One Group Pretest-Posttest Design approach. The paired t test was used to examine the relationship between the two variables, namely the betel leaf extract handsanitizer output preparation and the respondent's knowledge of the handsanitizer making process. Extension has an impact on increasing respondents' awareness of how to make natural hand sanitizers. The paired t-test findings indicate that the Sig. = 0.000 0.05, indicating that there is a discrepancy between the pretest and posttest. With a mean value of -5.967, this data indicates the average discrepancy between the pretest and posttest, with a range of -5.383 to -6.551 (95 percent CI), indicating that there is a difference between the pretest and posttest mean values, indicating that the pretest value has an influence on the post test. To stop the spread of Covid19, health care providers and the society must work together.

The Relationship Between Corporate Governance and Firm Value: Role of Discretionary Earnings Management

The Relationship Between Corporate Governance and Firm Value: Role of Discretionary Earnings Management Corporate governance practices help in enhancing firm value by effectively monitoring the managerial decisions as well as reducing the level of information asymmetry and agency problem between empowered managers and dispersed minority shareholders. The present study investigates the relationship between corporate governance and firm value for the developing economy of Pakistan. The study has also taken into consideration the moderating role of discretionary earnings management in corporate governance-firm value relationship, which is considered to be a relatively ignored research issue in corporate finance literature. In addition to focusing on individual mechanisms of corporate governance (i.e. audit, board, compensation, ownership), the present study has also constructed a composite corporate governance index to investigate the role of effective corporate governance in mitigating earnings management and enhancing firm value. The data of 208 firms listed at Karachi Stock Exchange for a time period of 2004- 2011 has been used for analysis and accounting, market and economic measures of performance have been used as firm value. The study finds that corporate governance plays a vital role in enhancing firm value in long as well as short run. Constitution of internal audit committees as an effective internal audit system is essential for the enriched progress of a firm. The monetary incentives and compensation paid to the top executives motivates them to work in the best interests of the company which increases not only short term accounting value of firm but also long term market and economic value. The findings reveal that discretionary earnings management practices by corporate managers damage the firm value in long term and it could be mitigated by effective corporate governance mechanisms. Moreover, this value damaging role of discretionary earnings management negatively moderates between effective corporate governance and firm value. Firms with earnings manipulation weakens the impact of effectiveness of governance system and leads to lower firm value. Finally, the study suggests some practical implications based upon the findings for investors, policy makers and manager.
