Heart attack is a life threatening disease and its prevalence in Pakistan is 6.2%. Pakistan comprises of four provinces and its estimated population is over 190 million. Relevant literature about the MI occurrence and its epidemiology has established that both are regionspecific. A reasonable research literature about the risk factors of heart diseases exists in advanced countries, but the same is not true for an emerging state like Pakistan. Additionally, its cure necessitates extraordinary expenditures. Pakistan being the rising country is struggling to encounter this contest with insufficient resources nevertheless with tiny achievement. This work offers a compact procedure of research work in which presentation of statistical / parametric (binary LR) along with non-parametric (the ANN model) methods are used to an epidemiological research. On the contrary, this work demonstrates an instance of how the logistic regression & neural network modeling methods can be applied to investigate the etiologies & risk factors for an MI. Prior to the construction of the multiple logistic regression, simple regression analysis is performed and only the independent variables holding p-value < 0.2 are selected for the ultimate inclusion to the Multiple Logistic Regression model. Outlier’s detection, autocorrelation examination and multicollinearity Identification are performed in advance. On the other hand the neural network model is run with all the collected data for comparison of results to the LR model. On relating the outcomes from both the methods, 16 variables are significantly linked to heart attack. It is possibly established that a harmonious group of etiologies & risk factors, from both logistic regression and neural networks is recognized which indicates that ANN is a powerful alternative technique to recognize etiologies & risk factors for heart attack in Pakistan. Generally, both models performed at equal level. In all the models chest pain remained the most significant variable proving that it is the most alarming etiology / symptom of a heart attack in our country. The risk factors found significant in both male and female models are; chest pain, family history, obesity, cholesterol level, smoking, physical activity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, breathing problem, less intake of fish, psychosocial factors, & easily angered. Similarly, on provincial classification of data, and on comparison, the variables gender, living environment, marital status, ethnicity, sleeping duration, obesity, tobacco use, life style and hypertension are not the same (differ significantly) in all the four provinces and vary from one province to other. In short, it is certified in the study that certain probable etiologies & risk factors belong to eating habits, psychological activities, family history, medical history and socioeconomic status of the cases. But most of the variables are associated to case’s medical history which expose that these factors are leading to myocardial infarction in the country. Analysis is performed using SPSS version 19 & AMOS version 18 at Aksaray University, Turkey.

صادق جب لکھنے بیٹھا ہے

صادق جب لکھنے بیٹھا ہے
حمد سے ہی آغاز کیا ہے

ساری تعریفیں اُس کی ہیں
پہلے اُس کا نام لیا ہے

روزی روٹی اُس کے ذمے
بن مانگے سب کو دیتا ہے

کیڑے پالے پتھر اندر
بھوکا کوئی نہیں سوتا ہے

ہندو مسلم فرق نہیں ہے
ہر کوئی نعمت کھاتا ہے

اک ہم ہیں نا شکرے بندے
اور وہ کرم کیے جاتا ہے

اُس کے موسم اُس کی بارش
وہ جب چاہے برساتا ہے

اُس کی فصلیں اُس کی کھیتی
دانے سے خوشا بنتا ہے

صادقؔ کیا تعریف لکھے گا
بس فعلن فعلن کرتا ہے

وکالت کی تحقیق فقہاء کرام کی نظرمیں

There has been described the meaning of Wakalat and its type. Who can be agent? What are the conditions of it? How it can be used? Where it is used? How it can be eliminated? What is the status of it in Current kinds of Cards? In which things the wakalat will be eligible. Allah has permitted for wakalat as it was mentioned in this article, because it is a necessary need of a human being without it one never can do all around his works, issues and important goods. For Wakalat it is very credible that Wakeel must has experience in the relevant subject without experience he can give countless loss for his Mowakkil, as well as be eligible, trustful, honest, sensible, aware of current affairs. Existence of wakalat has been described by all jurispru-dence and religious scholars divided Wakalat in two types (1) common Wakalat (2) special Wakalat and their command according to the holy Quraan and sunnat. What is the command of wakalat in almighty Allah’s affairs? Is it allowed or prohibited according to the Islamic point of view.  

Mangroves of the Active Indus Delta - Changes and Their Cause

Extensive GIS and field studies of Indus delta were conducted during 2005-08 to determine the influence of reduced flow of river Indus on dynamics of Indus delta changes as well as of its vegetation degradation during 49 years period from 1953 to 2001. There was huge loss of 67% in dense forests with slight reduction of 23% in the river flow in initial 25 years period whereas there was a minor loss of only 9% of dense forests in spite of huge reduction of 57% of river flow in next 24 years period. It was noted that lagged effect of river water dilution remained variably effective from 5-7 months after floods. It was further determined that Indus delta mangrove forests were not degraded due to higher salinity levels. Comparative figures for different parameters of forest cover, forest density, annual growth rate as well as Shannon’s diversity Index H (richness) and E H (evenness) for least flooded zone (23.12 ppt) and most flooded zone (18.74 ppt) were 60.58 vs. 56.19, 598 vs. 202, 17.46% vs. 18.08%, 0.45 vs. 0.08 and 0.40 vs. 0.07 respectively. It was determined that reduced flow of river Indus had no adverse effect on delta erosion, accretion as well as mangrove forest degradation as such. It was apparent that biological interventions of various nature and magnitude were responsible for the said degradation.
