Chromium in biological tissues is mostly present in trivalent form and helps to maintain the normal metabolism of glucose, proteins and fats. Literature suggests that chromium(III) complexes have a number of biological activities but some are cytotoxic in nature. So it is necessary to investigate new non-toxic chromium(III) complexes. Aroylhydrazines are biologically important chemical substances and their activities are known to be more improved after complexation with certain metal ions. In order to reveal the chemistry and biochemistry of chromium(III) complexes, the present work explains the synthesis of chromium(III) complexes with aroylhydrazine ligands, their structural and spectroscopic studies. Another significant contribution of this study is the evaluation of the cytotoxic activity, antioxidant nature, antiglycation property and carbonic anhydrase inhibition activities of synthesized chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes. Aroylhydrazine ligands (1-12) with different substituents and their chromium(III) complexes (1a-12a) were synthesized and characterized by using analytical (C, H, N, Cr and Cl- analysis), physical (conductivity measurements) and spectral (EI-Mass, ESI-Mass, FTIR and UV-visible) methods. These physical, analytical and spectral data support that all chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes exhibit an octahedral geometry in which ligand exhibits as a bidentate coordination and two water molecules coordinated at equatorial positions with general formula [Cr(L)2(H2O)2]Cl3. FTIR study demonstrated that in chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes, the ligands were coordinated in a bidentate fashion through carbonyl oxygen and terminal amino nitrogen. ESI-Mass spectra showed that all chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes produce fragments which were assigned to three chlorides and two water molecules from chromium(III) complexes. UV-visible study showed that there are three absorption bands and they also confirmed octahedral geometry of chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes. UV-visible solution study of chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes were evaluated that all of the aroylhydrazine ligands generate stronger ligand field strength than DMSO. Moreover, viii Time dependent stability study of chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes in DMSO showed the decomposition of complex with the passage of time. Some chromium(III) complexes are reported to exhibit cytotoxicity. However, our studies show that chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes reported here were not found to be toxic against normal cells so these compounds were further studied for other biological activities. All chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes were screened for in vitro diphenyl dipicryl hydrazine (DPPH), superoxide dismutase and nitric oxide radical scavenging activities. Majority of the chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes were found to be more effective scavengers as compared to free aroylhydrazine ligands. Studies showed that both steric hindrance and electron inductive effect play an important role in antioxidant activities. Aroylhydrazine ligands and their chromium(III) complexes were also investigated for carbonic anhydrase (CA II) inhibition activity and it was found that all aroylhydrazine ligands were inactive whereas chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes showed excellent carbonic anhydrase inhibition. Chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes with substituents meta position showed higher inhibition potential which may indicate better orientation of these complexes with interactive sites of enzymes. These studies also justified that slight alteration in the structure of the ligands may enhance the biological activities of chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes. Aroylhydrazine ligands and their chromium(III) complexes were also examined for their antiglycation activity in which ligands were found inactive whereas chromium(III)-aroylhydrazine complexes showed significant inhibition of the process of protein glycation. Antiglycation potential of these complexes are dependent upon various factors such as metal-ligand complexation, binding pattern of ligands in the complexes, presence of nitrogen and nature of the ligands. This study provides the opportunity for future researchers to work in this area in order to find more Cr(III)-based antioxidant & antiglycating agents for controlling of diabetes.

فرنچ ایم۔ پیری

فرنچ ایم ، پیری

            مشہور ترک دوست فرنچ ایم، پیری لوطی، کی ۷۳ سال کی عمر میں موت کا تمام دنیا کو علم ہوچکا ہے، لیکن اس سے بہت کم لوگ واقف ہوں گے کہ اس کے مکان میں جاپانی، چینی اور ترکی وضع کے کمروں کے علاوہ ایک مسجد بھی تھی۔ (دسمبر ۱۹۲۳ء)

 

Study of Pragmatic Losses in the English Translation of Surah Al Ikhlas: A Comparative Pragma-Linguistic Analysis

The comprehension of the message of the Holy Qur’ān is obligatory for the whole of humanity which is revealed in the Arabic language. Scholars all over the world, Muslims as well as non-Muslims have devoted their best efforts to translate the word of Allah Almighty in different languages of the world, although absolute translation is not possible. These translations from Arabic to other languages of the world result into pragmatic losses. Small wonder, these pragmatic losses cause problems in the process of understanding the actual message of the Holy Qur’ān enshrined in the source text. This study was conducted to analyze the pragmatic losses in the English translations of Sūrah Ikhlāṣ (chapter 112) through a comparative pragma-linguistic analysis. Three different translations have been selected for the study. A comparative and critical study of these translations has established the presence of certain pragmatic losses which are likely to bear upon the comprehension of the reader in more than one way. To the researchers, the presence of these losses calls for the greater sensitivity towards and understanding of the pragmatic aspects of interlingual translation, specifically for a text which in its primordial form was intended to be a Speech (Kalām). To retain the pragmatic value and meaning of the source text become all the more paramount when the text translated is sacred one with its own canonical conventions and discursive norms.

Exploring Successes and Challenges in Implementing Aku-Eb Based Portfolio Assessment in Lower Secondary Schools Situated in Karachi

Curriculum, to a great extent shapes students' experiences in school. Assessment as a major component of curriculum plays an important role in students' academic life because it not only assesses students learning but also contributes in their learning. Unfortunately, there are many issues in our curriculum, teaching learning and assessment. Almost in all the public and private schools, government prescribed textbooks are the only source of knowledge that are followed religiously, which provides one-sided, limited and outdated knowledge to the learners. Teachers are transmitting knowledge and there is no connection of teaching and learning with learners' daily lives. Moreover, assessment encourages rote learning and tests only knowledge, neglecting other higher order skills. The purpose of this research was to explore the success and challenges of three private schools in Karachi, Pakistan, who have initiated the Aga Khan University- Examination Board (AKU-EB) based portfolio assessment in their schools. The design of the research was a qualitative paradigm case study. One hundred and eleven students from all three schools, along with head teachers, and mathematics teachers of each school participated in this research. Besides students and teachers, one of the AKU-EB officials was the research participant. For data generating, I conducted semi-structured interviews of the teachers, head teachers and AKU-EB official and surveyed the students through a questionnaire. The findings revealed the portfolio assessment minimised teacher centered teaching approaches and promoted students active participation in teaching and learning. Use of reflection, self-assessment, peer assessment, presentation, and a collaborative learning environment in a school were major successes of this project. Stakeholders also a highlighted a few challenges regarding conducting and assessing group work, self – and peer - assessment. Stakeholders also faced challenges because of limited time available for the projects and ambiguity in the instructions for some projects.
