The insecticidal efficacy of indigenous isolate of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Dipel®) and a novel insecticide of the class anthranilic diamide, chlorantraniliprole (Coragen®) was assessed in various laboratory bioassays and in field trials against one of the major okra insect pest Earias vittella (Fab.) and Earias insulana (Boisd.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Initially, the field population of Earias spp. was monitored by their multiplication capacity in terms of fruit infestation and larval population under different environmental regimes in five districts of Punjab, Pakistan. In laboratory bioassays, second and fourth instar larvae of E. vittella, from three different populations were exposed to the alone and combined applications of B. bassiana, B. thuringiensis and chlorantraniliprole to investigate the effect of dose rate and insect population (strain) on the insecticidal effectiveness of all three chemicals against the test insect species. The results of current studies revealed that the maximum fruit infestation was observed in district Vehari followed by Pakpattan, T.T. Singh, Faisalabad and Chiniot, however, the maximum fruit infestation was recorded on the 5th week during both the years 2011 and 2012. The larval population was maximum in Vehari followed by Pakpattan, T.T. Singh, Faisalabad and Chiniot districts respectively, where the maximum larval population was observed in 5th week during both the years 2011 and 2012. Generally, positive correlation has been observed between temperature, larval population and fruit infestation, while negative correlation has been observed in case of relative humidity, larval population and fruit infestation in both the years. In laboratory bioassays, when B. bassiana was combined with B. thuringiensis, individually the B. thuringiensis was more effective as compared with B. bassiana alone at all the three concentrations against both the larval instars in all the three field populations. In combined treatments significant differences in larval mortality were recorded with highest mortality at higher dose rate of B. bassiana and B. thuringiensis. The combined action of B. bassiana and B. thuringiensis exhibited considerable increase in larval mortality compared with their sole application. The population from Faisalabad was most susceptible followed by T.T. Singh and Pakpattan. The maximum pupation was observed at lower dose of B. bassiana and minimum in combined treatment at higher dose rate for both the larval instars. Similar trend has been observed in case of adult emergence and egg eclosion. When B. bassiana was combined with chlorantraniliprole, individually the chlorantraniliprole was more effective compared with B. bassiana alone at all the three dose rates against both the larval instars against all the three different populations. In combined treatments significant differences in larval mortality were recorded with highest mortality at higher dose rate of B. bassiana and chlorantraniliprole. The combined action of B. bassiana and chlorantraniliprole exhibited considerable increase in larval mortality compared with their sole applications. The Faisalabad population was most susceptible followed by T.T. Singh and Pakpattan. Maximum pupation was observed at lower dose of B. bassiana and minimum in combined treatment at higher dose rate for both the larval instars. Similar trend has been observed in case of adult emergence and egg eclosion. During on farm trials higher larval population was observed in B. bassiana treated plots and minimum in combined treatment of chlorantraniliprole and B. thuringiensis for both the years 2012 and 2013, data regarding fruit infestation also followed the same trend. The average number of Spiders, Bracon spp. and Trichograma spp. were more after first spray compared with the second spray and significantly higher yield was recorded in combined treatments as compared to the alone treatments with highest Cost-benefit ratio (CBR). In both the growing year, CBR was maximum in plots treated with combined application of Bt and Coragen.

تعلیمِ نسواں

تعلیم نسواں
علم جہاں پہنچتا ہے اندھیرے سے نکال کر روشنی میں لے جاتا ہے ،ظلمت سے ضیاء کی طرف روانگی ہو جاتی ہے، جہالت سے شعور وآگہی کا سفر شروع ہو جاتا ہے۔ علم ایک ایسی دولت ہے جو انسان کواوجِ ثرّیا تک پہنچا دیتی ہے۔ علم ایک ایسازینہ ہے جس سے معرفتِ الٰہی کے محل کی طرف رسائی ممکن ہے۔ علم کے زیور سے مرصعّ شخص معاشرے کے ماتھے کا جھومر ہوتے ہیں۔ علم کی حقیقتوں سے آشنائی ایک عظمت ہے اس طرح عورت علم کے زیور سے مزیّن ہوگی تو معاشرہ سنور جائے گا۔
مردوں کی بھی تعلیم ضروری تو ہے مگر
پڑھ جائے جو خاتون تو نسلیں سنوار دے
تعلیم نسواں سے مراد عورتوں کی تعلیم ہے۔ مردوں کی طرح عورتوں کے لیے بھی حصول علم بہت ضروری ہے۔ عورت اور مرد زندگی کی گاڑی کے دو پہیے ہیں۔ ان دونوں پہیوں کا صحیح ہونا بہت ضروری ہے۔ ورنہ زندگی کی گاڑی ٹھیک طرح سے چل نہ سکے گی۔ کوئی قوم اس وقت تک ترقی نہیں کرسکتی جب تک اس قوم کی عورتیں زیورِ تعلیم سے آراستہ نہ ہوں۔
نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلمکا ارشاد ہے کہ’’ علم حاصل کرنا ہر مسلمان مرد اور عورت پر فرض ہے۔‘‘ اس حدیث مبارکہ سے مرد اور عورت دونوں کی خاطر علم کی اہمیت واضح ہوتی ہے۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ وسلمنے اپنی تعلیمات سے آگاہی کے لیے عورتوں کے لیے بھی ہفتے میں ایک دن مقرر کیا تھا۔ اس کے علاوہ ازواجِ مطہرات بھی عورتوں کو دین کی باتیں سکھایا کرتی تھیں۔ دانائوں کا قول ہے کہ’’ ایک مردکی تعلیم ایک فردکی تعلیم ہے، جبکہ ایک عورت کی تعلیم ایک خاندان کی تعلیم ہے‘‘ عورت کی آغوش ہی بچے کی پہلی درسگاہ ہے۔ یہ جو کچھ اپنی ماں...

Exploring Individual and Social Factors that Influence Human Belief: An Analysis in the Light of Quran and Sunnah

استقصاء العوامل المؤثرة في الاعتقاد الإنساني من الناحية الفردية والاجتماعية: دراسة تحليلية في ضوء القرآن والسنة This research work was primarily designed to explore the factors that affect and change the human beliefs. The paper particularly addresses the issue from individual and social perspectives in relation to Holy Quran and authentic traditions of Holy Prophet PBUH. Qualitative research approach was employed for the collection and demonstration of data. The review of relevant literature concluded that there are many factors which seriously affected and changed the human beliefs. However, the most important and common factors are four: individual, social, religious, and economic. These factors play a significant role in changing Islamic beliefs of an individual. In this context, it was recommended that Islamic states in general, and Islamic scholars in particular should play their role to preserve Islamic beliefs in its original form. Furthermore, Muslim scholars should also design the strategy of purging beliefs from impurities and presenting them in systematic, logical and rational way along with their impact on the society

Facilitating Social Studies Teachers to Use Issue Based Enquiry in a Government School

This action research project aims to facilitate social studies teachers in government school to develop their pedagogical skill, especially the use of issue-based inquiry as an instructional strategy in teaching and learning of Social Studies. This study was conducted in Class 7th of one of the government school of Karachi, Pakistan. In doing so, the action research also aimed to improve the knowledge and skills as a teacher educator facilitating teachers of Social Studies. This action research involved the process of formulating a general idea, conducting reconnaissance, making a general plan of action, implementing, and evaluating it, using the cyclical process of action research. The data were collected through use of: semi-structured interviews, classroom observation, document analysis, field-notes, and feedback of my research participants. The data were qualitatively analyzed on an ongoing basis to inform each subsequent step of action and reflection. The findings of the study suggest that teachers can learn the instructional strategy of issued based inquiry, by going through different phases, such as: reading the relevant literature and engaging in discussion about enquiry with teacher and teacher educator, self-experiencing the process through conducting small-scale inquiry, demonstration of lesson by a mentor, putting their learning's into practice, receiving peer-feedback and constant follow-up by the teacher educator. The study also shows that a teacher educator can be an effective facilitator (in this regard) by: becoming self-reflective, balancing his/her role as a teacher educator and action researcher within the time frame of the study and seeking feedback from research participants. In the process, a teacher educator can face challenges such as: his own time-constraint for keeping balance in his role of action and research, as a teacher educator and action researcher.
