In Pakistan, Livestock is considered as a social security for poor villager as it can be a source of cash at the time of need. Degnala disease reduces the production of these animals directly. Along with other side issues related to Degnala disease, this study was done to diagnose the actual cause of Degnala disease by applying different latest scientific techniques. Prevalence along with risk factors was calculated in the rice growing areas of Punjab, Pakistan. Fungal isolation (n=40) was performed from the rice straw feedings of the Degnala disease affected animals through the technique of spot culture on SDA. Then these fungal isolates were identified through comparing their microscopic and macroscopic characters. Then toxigenic potential was checked for all these isolates through the application of TLC and HPLC. After that, from those isolates which were positive for mycotoxin production potential, most cytotoxic isolate was checked with the application of MTT assay. Then the most cytotoxic isolate was inoculated on non-contaminated rice straw and fed to the experimental animals to see a similarity of natural cases of Degnala disease. Finally treatment was conducted to see a proper combination of various drugs against this disease. Toxigenic potential of different candidate fungi, isolated from rice straw feeding of Degnala disease affected bovines was analysed along with Species, age, gender and season wise prevalence. Out of 1536, 104 (6.77%) cases showed positive signs for this disease with a significant association (p<0.05) between rice straw feeding in buffaloes, winter season and bovines having an age of more than one year. Complete Blood Count showed marked increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate and all white blood cells numbers, except lymphocytes in positive cases. There was a significant increase (p<0.05) in Alanine amino transferase, Aspartate amino transferase and Alkaline phosphatase noticed in Liver Function Test. At the same time, increased value of Creatinine was noticed in Renal Function Test. For isolation and screening of toxigenic fungi, rice straw samples (n=40) being fed to the positive cases were processed further, out of which there were 85 fungal isolates mainly of Aspergillus (57), Penicillium (10), Fusarium (04), Zygomycetes (03), Curvularia (01) and unidentified (10). All isolated fungi were subjected for mycotoxin production and only 11 showed mycotoxin producing capability (including Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium isolates) analysed by Thin Layer Chromatography and quantified through High Performance Liquid Chromatography. It is concluded that all the fungi, contaminating rice straw feeding of Degnala affected animals are not toxigenic. This work will help in establishing major mycotoxin producing fungi leading to the probable cause of Degnala disease in bovine. With the help of MTT assay on vero cell line, most cytotoxic fungus was identified. After an incubation with vero cells, OD values of all the candidate fungi were compared through one way ANOVA. Results of this analysis showed that Fusarium was at the highest ranking and then was the A. flavus with a significant value of 0.006 and 0.039. Finally it was concluded through these systematic steps of converging the diagnosis that, out of all the 85 suspected fungi, Fusarium (isolate number S 8.1) was the most cytotoxic isolate obtained from the rice straw feedings of Degnala affected animals in our study. For molecular diagnosis of the most cytotoxic isolate of Fusarium, PCR was conducted and the results showed that ultimately the final PCR product was successfully amplified against the mentioned primer of ITS conserved region for Fusarium genera and the DNA product was with a length of 570 base pairs. Experimental feeding trials were conducted by inoculating Fusarium (the most cytotoxic isolate) and A. flavus (second most cytotoxic one after Fusarium) separately and in combination compared with the negative control group, all groups were of eight animals each. It was concluded that alone Fusarium was able to produce Degnala disease, while its combination with A. flavus was more lethal. Ultimately the treatment trials proceeded with penta-sulphate, oxytetracycline and antiseptic topical application as therapeutic treatment were shown to be very effective against Degnala cases. While in all the affected animals feeding of affected rice straw was ceased. Only withdrawal of affected rice straw from the feedings of Degnala affected animals was not effective unless proper treatment as mentioned here was not conducted. Analysed. The expected results of the study shall be helpful to make exact diagnosis and treatment of infected buffaloes and cattle that is further helpful for timely prophylaxis and control of the Degnala disease in the rice growing areas of Pakistan and South Asia.

آہ! سید صباح الدین عبدالرحمن!!
مسند شبلی و سلیمان اجڑ گئی
جناب سید صباح الدین عبدالرحمن ناظم دارالمصنفین و اڈیٹر معارف ہم سب کو چھوڑ کر اب خدائے رحمان کے آغوش رحمت میں چلے گئے، گذشتہ ماہ ۱۸؍ نومبر کو ٹیلیفون اور ریڈیو سے دن میں دو ڈھائی بجے کے درمیان ان کی المناک شہادت کی خبر دارالمصنفین میں بجلی بن کر گری اور ان کے متعلقین و وابستگان دارالمصنفین کی امیدوں اور آرزوؤں کے خرمن کو خاک و سیاہ کرگئی، مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ، مولانا عبدالسلام ندویؒ اور مولانا شاہ معین الدین احمد ندویؒ کے بعد دارالمصنفین کی بزم علم و ادب اسی چراغ سے روشن تھی لیکن افسوس کہ باد حوادث کے جھونکوں نے اسے بھی گل کردیا:
صبح تک تو نے نہ چھوڑی وہ بھی اے باد صبا
یادگار گل شمع تھی کل تک جو پروانے کی خاک
وہ بالکل ٹھیک تھے، ۱۰؍ نومبر کو لکھنؤ روانہ ہونے سے پہلے فجر بعد ہی مجھے نومبر کے معارف کے شذرات دیے اور ۹ بجے دن میں انھیں کاتب کے حوالے کرنے کی تاکید کی اور عین روانگی کے وقت فرمایا کہ ۱۹؍ نومبر کے بعد واپس ہوں گا، میں ان کی مشایعت کے لیے ان کے پیچھے ہوگیا تو مڑکر میری جانب دیکھا اور فرمایا کہ بیٹھیے! میں نے مصافحہ کے لیے ہاتھ بڑھایا تو انھوں نے مصافحہ کرتے ہوئے خدا حافظ کہا اور آگے بڑھ گئے، میری طبیعت نہ مانی اور میں ان کو رخصت کرنے کے لیے پھاٹک تک گیا، وہاں دوسرے رفقاء اور وابستگان دارالمصنفین بھی ان کو رخصت کرنے کے لیے پہلے سے موجود تھے، سب سے رخصت ہوکر وہ رکشہ پر بیٹھ کر روانہ ہوگئے، ۲۰؍ نومبر کو جمعہ تھا، جمعہ چھوٹ جانے کے اندیشہ سے وہ اس دن سفر نہیں کرتے، اس لیے خیال تھا کہ ۲۱؍ نومبر...

کاروباری تشہیر اور اخلاقیات: سیرت طیبہ کی روشنی میں

The History revealed the fact that merchants played a very prominent and vital role in spreading the religion of Islam. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) remained one of the popular merchants of his time in the Arabian Peninsula. Similarly, the same profession was also adopted by the Prophet’s companions and they propagated the message of Islam almost in every corner of the world being a core mission of their lives. The number of Islamic countries on the world’s map witness their efforts in this regard. There are numerous sayings of the Prophet (PBUH) in which he praised the honest and truthful traders and cautioned with serious wrath for the otherwise. Keeping in view the contemporary scenario of corporate world, one can easily observe the lacking of professional and ethical values among the merchants more specifically concerned with commercialization and marketing. In fact, marketing is one of the sound sources to promote business but some companies try to exploit their consumers via fake commercialization and false advertising. Pakistan, being an Islamic country, has to devise such principles and regulations regarding commercial advertising which are in full conformity with Shariah standards that will definitely, secure the rights of all stakeholders along with fine attraction for foreign investment to put the economy on growing direction. The current paper deals with the morals and values of advertising in the light of Prophetic teaching.

Ladder Operators, Inherent Algebras and Associated Coherent States for Position-Dependent Mass Systems

Position-dependent effective mass systems are of great significance due to the fact that these models have numerous applications in various areas of physics. The qualitative understanding of a complicated realistic system can be acquired by analyzing the exact solutions of a related simplified model. However, the quantization of position-dependent effective mass systems and finding their solutions, involve some conceptual and mathematical difficulties of a fundamental nature. The factorization method provides us with a powerful tool for obtaining solutions and the underlying algebraic structure of the exactly solvable systems. The underlying algebra of a system has vast applications in different areas of mathematics and physics, such as it plays an important role in the theory of coherent states. Coherent states are extremely useful in various areas such as quantum mechanics, quantum optics, quantum information and group theory. In this thesis, position-dependent effective mass systems are studied in the context of their quantization, finding the solutions, construction of the algebraic structure and associated coherent states. In the first part of the thesis we mainly focus on quantizing and obtaining the exact solutions of the systems with spatially varying mass. The next part deals with the construction of the ladder operators and the inherent algebra of the pertaining systems. The associated coherent states and their properties are presented in the final part of the thesis. Beside the traditional way of obtaining exact solutions by solving the Schrödinger equation there exists another elegant method to solve the systems algebraically by factorizing the corresponding Hamiltonian. This method is based on supersymmetric quantum mechanics and the integrability condition, commonly known as shape invariance. After quantizing the position-dependent effective mass system, this factorization technique is used to determine the energy spectrum and the corresponding wave functions. For the sake of completeness the iv Abstract v method of solving a time-independent Schrödinger equation with spatially varying mass is also discussed. Considering a non-linear harmonic oscillator as an illustrative example, it is shown that both the above procedures produce the same results. The property of shape invariance enables us to obtain the ladder operators of the confining system. A general recipe for the construction of the ladder operators and inherent algebra for the position-dependent effective mass systems is presented. In order to exemplify the general formalism, a non-linear harmonic oscillator together with several other examples of the shape invariant systems with position-dependent effective mass is considered. Explicit expressions for the ladder operators and the associated algebra are presented. Using the ladder operators and the underlying algebra, the coherent states for the positiondependent effective mass systems are constructed and their properties are analyzed. In particular, we emphasize on various kinds of coherent states for a non-linear harmonic oscillator with spatially varying mass. By realizing SU(1; 1) as the dynamic group of the system, the construction of Barut-Girardello coherent states is presented. In addition, an algebraic independent kind of coherent states, namely Gazeau-Klauder coherent states, are also constructed. The statistical properties of Barut-Girardello and Gazeau-Klauder coherent states are investigated by means of the Mandel parameter and the second order correlation function. Moreover, the temporal evolution of the Gazeau-Klauder coherent states is analysed by means of autocorrelation function. It is shown that these states mimic the phenomena of quantum revivals and fractional revivals during their time evolution.
