Four metal organic frameworks [Zn(3-bpmh)(1,4-bdc)]n, [Cd(3-bpmh)(1,4-bdc)]n [C8H10CdO7]n.4H2O and C15H17N2NiO8 (Ni-BTC) were synthesized and characterized. N-doped nanostructured porous carbon materials coded as PCN920 and PCN900 were obtained through the thermal treatment of two frameworks [Zn(3-bpmh)(1,4-bdc)]n and [Cd(3-bpmh)(1,4-bdc)]n, respectively under argon gas environment, while the third compound [C8H10CdO7]n.4H2O had produced porous carbon material (PC900) through the same heating process as described earlier. The thermal evaporation of Zn metal yielded impressively high surface area carbon (PCN920), which is found to be 1171 m2g-1, while Cd metal elimination from [Cd(3-bpmh)(1,4-bdc)]n and [C8H10CdO7]n.4H2O had generated relatively low surface area carbon i.e. 407 m2g -1 for PCN900 and 877 m2g -1 for PC900. The derived carbon materials PCN920, PCN900 and PC900 had been utilized for the synthesis of bimetallic composites with 10% Pt and 5% second metal (Ni, Cu, Er) through polyol reduction procedure. The bimetallic composites synthesized from PCN920 are coded as Pt-Ni@PCN920, Pt-Cu@PCN920 and Pt-Er@PCN920, while that were prepared from PCN900 are coded as Pt-Er@PCN900 and Pt-Ni@PCN900 and Pt-Cu@PCN900. The PC900 used as support to prepare composites are Pt-Er@PC900 and Pt-Ni@PC900 and Pt-Cu@PC900. The layered cadmium framework [C8H10CdO7]n.4H2O was synthesized in crystal form and characterized through single crystal X-ray analysis. The infrared spectroscopy (IR), UV-Vis spectroscopy and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz TDS) were performed for cadmium metal organic framework. The computational investigations of the framework were performed at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level in gas phase to support our experimental results. The terahertz time domain spectroscopy of [C8H10CdO7]n.4H2O was performed and its refractive index along with absorption coefficient in 0.2-1.3 THz range x were calculated. The Nonlinear optical properties analysis reveals that the first static hyperpolarizability of [C8H10CdO7]n.4H2O is 38 times greater than that of urea. All the composites have been characterized through PXRD, FTIR, RAMAN, BET, XPS, ICP, CHNS/O, EDX, SEM and TEM. The composites Pt-Ni@PCN920, Pt-Cu@PCN920, Pt-Er@PCN920, Pt-Er@PCN900, Pt-Ni@PCN900 and Pt-Cu@PCN900 were analyzed for three important electrocatalytic reactions oxygen evolution (OER), hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen reduction reactions (ORR), while Pt-Er@PC900, Pt-Ni@PC900 and Pt-Ni@PC900 were used as electrocatalysts to perform HER and ORR. The performance of Pt-Ni@PCN920 is found to be better than Pt-Er@PCN920 and Pt-Cu@PCN920 having the same substrate PCN920. Secondly, Pt-Er@PCN900 showed excellent performance for HER, OER and ORR than Pt-Ni@PCN900 and Pt-Cu@PCN900. The durability and stability of Pt-Er@PCN900 was marvelous. Thirdly, the performance of Pt-Er@PC900 was superb than Pt-Ni@PC900 and Pt-Cu@PC900. The Nickel metal organic framework, graphene oxide (GO) and their composites Ni-BTC@GO(1%), Ni-BTC@GO(2%), Ni-BTC@GO(3%), Ni-BTC@GO(4%) and Ni-BTC@GO(8%) were synthesized, characterized and used as adsorbents for denitrogenation of synthesized model fuel. The porosity of the composite was enhanced by adding GO as compared to pristine Ni-MOF. The composite material with enhanced porosity and high surface area was used as adsorbent to remove indole, pyridine and quinoline from synthesized model fuel. The adsorption results showed profound increase in the adsorption capacity of the Ni-MOF@GO composite as compared to the pristine MOF. The composites also showed good regenerative ability and reusability.

مولانا شوکت میرٹھی

مولانا شوکت میرٹھی

            اردو فارسی کے قدیم خدمت گزاروں میں ایک مولانا شوکت میرٹھی تھے جو خود کو ’’مجدد السنۂ مشرقیہ‘‘ کے خطاب سے مخاطب کرتے تھے۔ انھوں نے خاقانیؔ، عرفیؔ اور غالبؔ کے دیوانوں کی عجیب و غریب شرحیں لکھی ہیں اور ہمیشہ اپنے مذاق کے مطابق وہ کچھ نہ کچھ کرتے اور کہتے رہتے تھے۔ افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ مہینہ انھوں نے ایک طویل علالت اور کبر سنی کے بعد وفات پائی۔ اب شاید ایسے لوگ بھی ہمارے ہندوستان میں آئندہ پیدا نہ ہوں گے۔ (جنوری ۱۹۲۳ء)

 

غیر مسلم اقلیتوں کے حقوق کا اسلامی فلسفہ: قرآنی تناظر میں تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Islamic Philosophy of the Rights of Non-Muslims Minorties: An Analysis in Qur’ᾱnic Perspective Islam is complete code of life for entire humankind. According to the Holy Quran all human beings have been created from a single person (Adam). By birth all are equal and have all fundamental rights irrespective of their religion. If a group is numerically inferior to the rest of the population of state in a non-dominant position, will not be considered minority according to Quran. Quran classify people into two different categories: believers and non-believers on the base of their belief instead of numerical value. Minorities enjoy all fundamental rights and freedoms in Islamic territory. This article demonstrates in the light of Quran that Islam does not discriminate between Muslims and non-Muslims in the matter of rights and will clarify the objection of western propaganda that Islam is rigid for non-believers. There are different types of Non-Muslims living in Islamic state as minority. According to Quran, concept of minority is unique, minority does not mean inferior in number. This paper will reveal the types of minorities and their specific rights along with their basic rights too. It has been concluded that Islam is only religion which offers basic human rights at the level of equality irrespective their religion.

A Study of Investigate the Factors Affecting the Quality of Teacher Education at Secondary Level in Pakistan

The main objective of the study was to determine the quality and draw out the factors affecting the quality of Teacher Education Program at B.Ed. level in Pakistan. The University of Education Lahore, its campuses and affiliated colleges called Government Colleges for Elementary Teachers (GCETs) were included in this study. All the principals, 160 faculty members and 400 prospective teachers were taken as a sample of this study. A framework was developed after reviewing a comprehensive study on “Quality Indicators for Teacher Education” conducted by the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC) India in 2007 in collaboration with the Common Wealth of Learning (COL). In the light of the framework, a research model was developed for the generalization of this study. Three five point rating scales were developed in order to find out the worth and to draw out the factors affecting the quality of this program. The collected data were analyzed by applying inferential as well as descriptive statistics. The hindering factors of quality assurance in teacher Education program were also drawn out from different indicators and sub indicators on the basis of their respective mean combine values. The results of the study showed the poor quality of the Teacher Training program (B.Ed.) in the sampled institutions. Poor infrastructure, Lack of awareness about quality, inappropriate admission procedures and criteria, worn out course contents, deficiency of laboratory schools, much theoretical course contents, Lack of guidance and counseling units, dearth of research activities and environment were found as factors affecting the quality of Teacher Education Program. Developing the infrastructure, revamping curriculum, enhancing the quality awareness and quality management mechanisms, arranging continuous trainings regarding quality management, Use of reflective, micro and cooperative teaching by the Teachers, establishing guidance and counseling units in all the TTIs, focusing on the creation of research based and research oriented environment in all the Teacher Training Institutions and the insertion of a new discipline regarding Quality Management in the B.Ed. program were recommended in this study.
