Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most paramount staple foods of the world. It occupies a unique position in cereal crops with respect to area under cultivation and more than 2.7 million populations depending on rice. In Pakistan, rice is an important food and cash crop and has the status of second staple food crop after wheat and the second major exportable produce after cotton. Despite much development in rice production technology research and developments, the yield of rice crop in Pakistan is very low as compared to other rice growing countries. One of the major yield limiting factors is the attack of insect pests and diseases. Among these, leaf folder (LF) Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Gu.) and bacterial leaf blight (BLB) of rice are of economic importance and cause irreparable yield losses every year. A comprehensive survey was conducted to investigate the farmers’ perception regarding leaf folder and bacterial leaf blight and factors which boost up the infestation of leaf folder and incidence of bacterial leaf blight and their management practices in rice crop. A questionnaire was developed; minimum of 50 farmers were interviewed in selected five districts of Punjab, Pakistan. Majority of the farmers (62%) responded that LF attacked their crop first while 30% farmers were of the opinion that BLB attacked first. Eight percent informed that crop was attacked by LF and BLB simultaneously. As most of the farmers (72%) responded that those fields in which LF attacked first, the incidence of BLB was high, while 64% farmers told that LF enhanced the severity of BLB. Furthermore, the interaction among leaf folder and bacterial leaf blight was also studied. Total damage area (TDA) in the combined treatment (LF+Xoo) was significantly higher (72.08±1.57) than in the combined treatment (Xoo+LF), single LF treatment and single Xoo treatment on rice variety Basmati 385 and same trend was followed by 2nd week and 1st week. This implies a synergistic interaction of LF and xiv Xoo when Xoo was inoculated after LF infestation. However combined treatment of (Xoo+LF) showed a significantly lower TDA (59.28±1.47) compared with other combined treatment (72±1.57) and single LF and Xoo treatments. The data regarding yield contributed factor and yield losses due to leaf folder and bacterial leaf blight alone and combined were also recorded. The data revealed that maximum 1,000 grain weight loss due to BLB was 13.22% and 6.79% for years 2012 and 2013 respectively, on Super Basmati followed by Basmati 515 and Basmati 385. The highest 1,000 grain weight loss due to LF was 7.09% and 1.20% on Super Basmati followed by Basmati 515 and Basmati 385. The maximum 1,000 grain weight loss due to combined treatment (LF and BLB) was 20.06% and 7.07% on Super Basmati followed by Basmati 515 and Basmati 385 during 2012 and 2013 respectively. The maximum yield loss due to BLB was 20.62% and 10.55% on Super Basmati followed by Basmati 515 and Basmati 385. The yield loss due to LF was 10.32% and 3.48% on Super Basmati followed by Basmati 515 and Basmati 385.The yield loss due to combined (LF and BLB) was 27.05% and 11.02% on Super Basmati followed by Basmati 515 and Basmati 385. The leaf damage data revealed that two wild species, Oryza rufipogon and Oryza brachyantha were resistant to LF. Fourteen genotypes were moderately resistant (MR), ten were moderately susceptible (MS), fourteen were susceptible (S) and ten were highly susceptible (HS) against leaf folder. Similarly results exhibited that one wild species (O. rufipogon) was found highly resistant (HR) whereas one species (O. brachyantha) showed resistance (R) response. Two rice genotypes showed moderately resistant (MR) response; nine rice lines represented the moderately susceptible (MS) response, thirty three were represented susceptible response (S) and four were found highly susceptible (HS) against bacterial leaf blight. These identified resistant germplasm can be used in breeding program of rice crop to develop resistant varieties against leaf folder and bacterial leaf blight disease.

ناموسِ گدائی نہ گنوا اور بھی کچھ مانگ


ناموسِ گدائی نہ گنوا ، اور بھی کچھ مانگ
’’اب تنگیِ داماں پہ نہ جا اور بھی کچھ مانگ‘‘

بے پایاں ہے اُس در کی عطائوں کا تسلسل
بے مثل ہے اُس در کی سخا ، اور بھی کچھ مانگ

دریائے سخاوت ہے رواں روزِ ازل سے
رکتی ہی نہیں موجِ عطا ؛ اور بھی کچھ مانگ

خود دستِ عطا بڑھتا ہے محتاج کی جانب
اس شان کا آقاؐ ہے ترا اور بھی کچھ مانگ

اسباب کی دنیا کو کیا ایسا مسخّر
صحراؤں نے قلزم سے کہا ’’اور بھی کچھ مانگ‘‘

محدود ہے صحراؤں کی وسعت؛ نہیں محدود
اُس رحمت عالمؐ کی گھٹا ؛ اور بھی کچھ مانگ

جس شمعِ حرمؐ نے کیا دنیا میں اُجالا
دل کے لئے لے اُس سے ضیا اور بھی کچھ مانگ

خالق کی عطاؤں سے عطاؤں کے وہ قاسمؐ
خالق کی عطا ؛ اُنؐ کی عطا ؛ اور بھی کچھ مانگ

ہر بار صدا آتی ہے دربارِ سخا سے
عرفانؔ! لگا اور صدا ، اور بھی کچھ مانگ!

The Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice about Fertility Preservation among Oncologist-A Cross-Sectional Study

BackgroundFertility Preservation is the process of saving or protecting a person’s ability to have children in the future. It is often considered for individuals to undergo medical treatments that may impact their fertility, such as chemotherapy. Hence, the current study is aimed to assess clinical practitioners’ knowledge, practice, and attitude toward fertility preservation among oncologists. MethodsA cross-sectional survey was carried out to identify the current knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding fertility preservation among oncologists—a total of seventy-nine oncologists in Karachi working in different public and private sectors. The study was conducted between January to August 2022. The data was gathered using a self-designed questionnaire that was distributed via email. ResultsOne hundred and eighty oncologists were provided with the survey form via email. The response rate was 47.22% (n=85). Out of which, six questionnaires were excluded due to incomplete information. The total questionnaire analyzed was n=79, which included 58 (73.41%) males and 21 (16.59%) females. ConclusionThe results revealed that oncologists had a compromised knowledge regarding fertility preservation for cancer patients. Despite weak knowledge, most oncologists believe that more elaborative measures should be taken to overcome this issue.   DOI: https: //doi. Org/10.59564/amrj/01.01/004

Modified G /G -Expansion Methods for Soliton Solutions of Nonlinear Differential Equations

Solitons play a pivotal role in many scientific and engineering phenomena. Solitons are a special kind of nonlinear waves that are able to maintain their shape along the promulgation. From the last four decades, the rampant part of fundamental phenomenon of soliton has successfully attracted the researchers from the physical and mathematical sciences. Various branches of science like solid-state physics, plasma physics, particle physics, biological systems, Bose-Einstein-condensation and nonlinear optics are enjoying the benefits taken from soliton. Soliton research gives way to theoretical aspects such as soliton existence, computation of soliton profiles and soliton stability theory by using the tools of soliton dynamics and soliton interactions to applicative aspects. The hub of this thesis is to search not only for the solitary solutions of nonlinear differential equations but also for nonlinear fractional differential equations. This piece of writing targets to give an intuitive grasp for; Further Improved (G¢ /G) -expansion, Extended Tanh-function, Improved (G¢ /G) -expansion, Alternative (G¢ /G) -expansion with generalized Riccati equation, (G¢ /G, 1/G) -expansion and Novel (G¢ /G) - expansion methods. Moreover, we shall extend Novel (G¢ / G) -expansion method to nonlinear fractional partial differential equations arising in mathematical physics. For multifarious applications, all the methods are glib to follow. In addition, these methods give birth to several types of the solutions like hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions and rational solutions. The premeditated methods are very efficient, reliable and accurate in handling a huge number of nonlinear differential equations.
