The fate of nine different pesticides (endosulfan, deltamethrin, imidacloprid, thiodicarb, triazophos, pyridaben, emamectin benzoate, fipronil and diafenthiuron) selected from individual classes was examined in three different soils at laboratory and field conditions. The findings suggested the various key mechanisms such as adsorption, leaching, dissipation and degradation which were responsible for interaction of pesticide with soil. Among these adsorption was one of the most important processes affecting the leaching of pesticides through soil because it controls the amount of pesticide available for transport. The evaluation of kinetic data was performed through pseudo first and second order models. It was found that kinetic adsorption of all pesticides except Endosulfan on soil followed pseudo first order with rate constant value ranged in 0.096-0.214/h, equilibrium concentration was found 38.177-77.678 mg/g and R2 value in a range of 0.988-0.997. Only kinetic adsorption of Endosulfan has followed pseudo second order kinetic model. To monitor the pseudo equilibrium achieved for selected pesticides the curve was plotted between pesticide residues adsorbed and time. The kinetic adsorption had shown two clear regions, initially a very rapid adsorption followed by a slow adsorption region. The rapid adsorption was surface phenomenon because the vacant sites in the soil particles were filled up rapidly in the preliminary region followed by a slow adsorption due to migration and diffusion of pesticide molecules in soil. The pseudo equilibrium time observed for pyridaben was 3 h, diafenthiuron 3.5 h, endosulfan, fipronil and deltamethrin 4 h each, emamectin benzoate 5 h, imidacloprid and triazophos 6 h, thiodicarb 10h. Equilibrium adsorption of selected nine pesticides was monitored with Langmuir and Freundlich models. It was investigated that all selected pesticides have followed Freundlich isotherm representing the reversible, non-ideal and multilayer adsorption over heterogeneous surface of soil. The Freundlich adsorption capacity (A), intensity (n) and R2 computed for all used pesticides were in a range of 1.053-2.813 mg/g, 0.249-0.892 and 0.996-0.999 respectively. Therefore the value of n obtained from Freundlich model was below 1, indicating chemisorption was taking place between pesticides and soil surface. In addition value of 1/n was greater than one showing co-operative adsorption was taking place with chemisorption mechanism. In laboratory, leaching study was performed in three plastic columns of 30 cm length, each for individual soil type. Known amount of each pesticide was applied to column, after adsorption it was eluted with 500 ml water in five portions. These water portions and soils were analyzed with concerned analytical technique. Generally the concentration of all pesticides was found to be decreased in column soil and water samples. In water samples it was observed as follow: α-Endosulfan 1.028-0.002, β-Endosulfan 1.015-0.003, triazophos 0.734-0.101, imidacloprid 0.481-0.103, thiodicarb 2.814-0.003, diafenthiuron 0.28-0.003, fipronil 0.032-0.002, emamectin benzoate 0.082-0.040, pyridaben 0.004-0.001, deltamethrin 0.073-0.001 ng/µl respectively. The decrease of pesticide residues in column soils were found as, α-Endosulfan 3.621-0.012, β-Endosulfan 2.968-0.012, triazophos 4.782-0.004, imidacloprid 2.905-0.123, thiodicarb 4.739-0.618, diafenthiuron 4.296-0.013, fipronil 4.791-1.107, emamectin benzoate 4.749-1.131, pyridaben 5.314-1.014 and deltamethrin 2.584-0.605 ng/mg. In field the leaching power of pesticides was examined up to 60 cm depth. Total four soil samples were randomly collected from each site, first three samples were taken at interval of 10 cm each and fourth sample was taken from 30-60 cm soil depth. The residue was found to decrease as we go down in soil. The pesticides Endosulfan, imidacloprid, thiodicarb and diafenthiuron were seen to leach 60 cm soil depth, triazophos moved 30 cm soil depth and deltamethrin, pyridaben, emamectin benzoate, fipronil were observed strongly adsorbed within 20 cm soil depth. The dissipation rate investigated for individual pesticide in three different soils was as under: α-Endosulfan 99 % over 60 d with average T1/2 of 8.395 d, β-Endosulfan above 91 % over 140 d with average T1/2 43.659 d, deltamethrin above 91 % over 30 d with average T1/2 16.577 d, imidacloprid above 88.413 % over 120 d with average T1/2 38.002 d, thiodicarb above 94.301 d over 35 d with average T1/2 8.372 d, triazophos above 90% over 30 d with average half-life of 9.059, pyridaben above 90 % over 12 d with average T1/2 3.786 d, emamectin benzoate above 87.035 % over 12 d with average T1/2 4.142 d, fipronil above 90 % over 150 d with average T1/245.755 d, diafenthiuron above 94 % over 15 d with average T1/2 4.343 d. From dissipation study it was inferred that rate was variable in each soil due to climatic changes, soil nature and soil-pesticide interactions. The % recoveries obtained for each of pesticide in soil were: α-Endosulfan 93.407-98.559, β-Endosulfan 89.216-97.279, deltamethrin 94.775-96.935, imidacloprid 88.698-95.694, thiodicarb 86.098-95.762, triazophos 92.093-98.516, pyridaben 90.885-95.116, emamectin benzoate 88.973-96.158, fipronil 95.769-99.030 and diafenthiuron 88.432-94.416 %. By applying GUS model triazophos, pyridaben, emamectin benzoate, fipronil, α-Endosulfan and deltamethrin were classified as non-leacher pesticides, while diafenthiuron, thiodicarb, β-Endosulfan and imidacloprid were categorized as leacher pesticides class.

اچھے شہری کی ذمّہ داریاں

اچھے شہری کی ذمہ داری
کائنات کے حسن کو دوبالا کرنے کے لیے جہاں ہر کس و ناکس اپنافریضہ ادا کر رہا ہے وہاں اچھے شہری کی بھی یہ ذمہ داری ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے جو کائنات بنائی ہے اُس میں رہ کر اچھے شہری ہونے کا ثبوت دے اور اس کی وجہ سے پیدا ہونے والی تمام پریشانیوں کا سد ّباب کرے۔ ایک اچھا شہری نہ صرف اپنی ذات کے بارے میں حسن ظن رکھتا ہے بلکہ وہ اپنے کردار سے، اپنی گفتار سے، اپنے طور و اطوار سے کوئی ایسی بات کا مرتکب نہیں ہوتا جس سے اس کے وجود سے نفرت کی جائے۔
اچھا شہری صرف وہی نہیں جوصبح اُٹھے سیر کو جائے اور پھر نماز ادا کرے اور تلاوت کلامِ پاک کرے اسی طرح وہ اپنی صبح نو کا آغاز کرے اور اس طرح خاموشی سے دن گزار دے، اچھا شہری تعلیمی ادارے کا سربراہ ہوسکتا ہے، اچھا مدرس ہوسکتا ہے، اچھا دوکاندار ہو سکتا ہے، اچھا سیاستدان ہوسکتا ہے، اچھا قانون دان ہوسکتا ہے، اچھا منصف ہوسکتا ہے ۔
اچھے شہری کی ہی ذمہ داری ہے کہ گھر کے اندر ، معاشرے کے اندر، خویش و اقارب کے اندر اگر کوئی برائی دیکھتا ہے تو وہ اس کا قلع قمع کرنے میں کوئی دقیقہ فروگزاشت نہ کرے یہ اس کی ذمہ داری ہے اور دینی فریضہ بھی! حضرت محمد صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ’’ مسلمان وہ ہے جس کی زبان اور ہاتھ سے دیگر مسلمان محفوظ رہیں ، ہرشخص جب تک اپنا تعمیرانہ کردار ادانہ کرے اپنی دھرتی کو بقعۂ نورنہیں بنا سکتا،اپنی اس زمین میں عقل و خرد، عدل و انصاف، اخوت و بھائی چارہ کی فضا پیدا نہیں کر سکتا۔
اچھے شہری کی ذمہ داریوں میں سے ایک ذمہ داری یہ بھی ہے کہ وہ...

Maulᾱna Waḥῑduddῑn Khᾱn’s Views on Relation Between Islam and Secularism

The article explores views of Maulᾱna Waḥῑduddῑn Khᾱn on relation between Islam and secularism as there is no specification of his thoughts on the above issue as critics and other scholars tend to show confusion when they approach Khᾱn’s thoughts from that specific angle. Maulᾱna Waḥῑduddῑn Khᾱn is an Indian religious scholar and peace activist who is alive and known for his modern, cosmopolitan and peaceful thoughts. In this article the scattered and disjointed views of Khᾱn on relation between Islam and secularism have been portrayed as to give context to his original views and show his actual stance which might remove the confusion prevalent amongst intellectuals and scholars as to spot Khᾱn’s basic stance on the above issue. The definition and different experiences of secularism has been shortly described along with projection of diversity of stance from other Muslim scholars as to broaden the very background of the issue. Later the views of Khᾱn and his approach to the issue have been presented. The article will throw light that how Khᾱn perceives the issue of relation between Islam and secularism and what is the point of convergence and divergence between Islam and secularism. This article will also highlight that whether he deals the topic on the basis of creed or philosophy or pragmatism and that whether he takes secularism as beneficial or damaging to the interest of Muslims and Islam. The article also shed light on the scheme of Khᾱn that how Muslim should deal with the phenomenon of secularism.

Determinations of Consumer's Purchase Intention of Counterfeit Luxury Product

This study analyzed the influential factors of consumers' purchase intention towards counterfeit luxury products by considering the model of social status, integrity, novelty seeking, and perceived risk. Attitude towards counterfeit product was used as a mediator in the model. The causalities in the model of problematic purchase intention of consumers toward counterfeit luxury products are hypothesized. A total sample of 400 respondents with 385 effective samples was collected by distributing self-administered questionnaires to people from different sectors. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through AMOS was adopted for the analysis. Consumers' attitude towards counterfeit product was found to be positively and significantly related to purchase intention of counterfeit product. As for personality constructs, social status and novelty seeking were found to be positively related to attitude and purchase intention of counterfeit product while integrity and perceived risk did not show significant relationship. This study urges original manufacturers to focus more precisely on personality related factors of people and also need to work closely with policy makers to hinder counterfeiting activity. Replication of the study in other settings is also recommended. Further academic and managerial implications are presented by the research, limitations and future research directions are also discussed.
