This is the first report study presenting a detailed account on systematics of medicinally important Papilionaceous flora in Pakistan. The study is confined to leaf epidermal anatomy, pollen and seed morphology along with medicinal uses of Papilionaceous taxa. In total, 84 plant species belonging to 36 genera and 21 tribes were collected from different areas of Pakistan. The tribe Vicieae with highest number of genera (5) and genus Medicago with highest number of species (8) were reported. In selected Papilionaceous taxa, the leaves were morphologically pinnate or imparipinnate type with cuneate to mucronate leaf base while in Crotalaria medicaginea Lam. sub truncate base was observed.Fruit generally pod in studied taxa except genus Desmodium with lomentum fruit. Regarding leaf epidermal anatomy, generally irregular cells with epicuticular wax deposition were observed. Peltate glands were reported in Desmodium concinnum DC., Desmodium triflorum(L.) DC. and Medicago orbicularis(L.) Bartal. Amphistomatic leaves with anomocytic stomata were dominant in studied taxa. Galndular trichomes were characteristic feature observed in Sophora alopecuroides var. alopecuroides and Desmodium laxiflorum DC. The dominant pollen shape observed in Papilionaceous taxa was prolate with bicolpoate aperturation pattern. The dominant seed shape observed was oval to round with striate seed sculpturing pattern in studied plant taxa. Only Medicago monantha(C. A. Mey) Trautv. bears smooth seed surface. Taxonomic keys based on morphology, leaf epidermal anatomy, palynology and seed morphology were developed for identification of Papilionaceous taxa. The findings of ethnomedicinal study revealed that the most widely treated disease categorywas gastrointestinal disorder (GIT 37.2%) with decoction as preferred mode of utilization (40.5%). Highest RFC was reported for Vicia monantha Retz. (0.63 %) and UV for Clitoria ternatea L.(0.167). Based on present findings of palyno-morphology, anatomy, seed morphology (LM & SEM) and ethnomedicinal uses about Papilionaceous taxa, the study may provide baseline taxonomic information for correct identification. The taxonomic keys developed on the basis of morphology, leaf anatomy, palynology and seed morphology were useful for classification and delimitation of selected taxa within subfamily Papilionoidae. The study further recommends correlating this data with phylogenetic information in order to use at global perspective for systematics of subfamily Papilionoidae.

پروفیسر عبدالمغنی

پروفیسر عبدالمغنی کی رحلت
۵؍ ستمبر کو اردو کے ممتاز ادیب و نقاد پروفیسر عبدالمغنی اپنے مالک حقیقی سے جاملے، ان کے دماغ پر فالج کا حملہ ہوا تھا، علاج کے لیے پٹنہ کے ایک اسپتال میں داخل کیے گئے تھے، وہیں صبح سات بجے داعی اجل کا پیغام آگیا، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
وہ صوبہ بہار کے ضلع اورنگ آباد کے ایک دینی گھر انے میں ۴؍ جنوری ۱۹۳۶؁ء کو پیدا ہوئے تھے، ان کے والد ماجد مولانا عبدالرؤف اورنگ آبادی ندوی ایک ممتاز عالم تھے جن کے مضامین معارف میں چھپتے تھے اور ایک بھائی پروفیسر اقبال حسین مظفرپور یونیورسٹی کے شعبہ اردو کے صدر رہ چکے ہیں، عبدالمغنی صاحب نے ابتدائی تعلیم اورنگ آباد کے مدرسہ اسلامیہ میں حاصل کی تھی اور یہیں غالباً انہوں نے قرآن مجید بھی حفظ کیا تھا، عربی درسیات کی تکمیل مدرسہ شمس الہدیٰ پٹنہ میں کی تھی، پھر جدید تعلیم کے لیے انگریزی اسکولوں اور کالجوں کا رخ کیا، فراغت کے بعد پٹنہ یونیورسٹی کے کسی کالج میں انگریزی کے استاد ہوگئے، وہ ایک اچھے اور نیک نام استاد تھے، انگریزی میں چند کتابیں بھی لکھیں مگر ان کی اصل تصنیفی زبان اردو تھی، ان کا شمار اردو کے زود نویس اہل قلم اور مصنفین میں ہوتا ہے وہ قلم برداشتہ لکھتے تھے۔
مرحوم کو اپنی مادری زبان اردو سے عشق تھا، علاوہ کثرت تصنیف کے وہ اردو تحریک کے بڑے سرگرم مجاہد بلکہ بہار میں اردو تحریک کے صف اول کے قائد تھے اور مدت دراز تک انجمن ترقی اردو کی بہار شاخ کے صدر تھے، ان کی عملی قوت اور تنظیمی صلاحیت نے بہار کی انجمن ترقی اردو کو بہت متحرک و فعال اور دوسری ریاستی انجمنوں سے زیادہ کارگزار بنا دیا تھا، عبدالمغنی صاحب کی سعی و جاں فشانی سے ۱۹۸۰؁ء میں سب سے پہلے...

اسلام اور کلی معاشیات کے منتخب نظریات کا مطالعہ: صرف، بچت، سرمایہ کاری اور حکومتی نگرانی

Macroeconomics relates to economics elements at national level. Islam has conveyed its guidance in this sphere too. It encourages modest life style and thereby reduces expenditure, hence, increased savings. These savings can be utilized for investments to boost economy. Banking play an important role in creating pool of deposits used to finance businesses. Governmental regulatory intervenetions are at times involves controlling prices, preventing hoarding and monitoring adulteration. These issues have been discussed in this article with reference to relevant Islamic Teachings.

Teacher Performance Appraisal: A Tool for Professional Development

Teacher Performance Appraisal has been considered an assessment tool among majority of teachers in Pakistan (Ali, 1998; Jaffer, 2007; Khalid, 2007). This study aimed to identify the required changes that could make appraisal as a tool for Teachers' Professional Development. The study was conducted in Star School (pseudonym), a secondary school in Karachi, Pakistan. The research was qualitative in nature using phenomenological approach. The seven research participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected during an eight week-period through semi-structured interviews, focused group discussion and document analysis. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed, documents such as policy and procedures were also analysed. The findings reveal that appraisal supports towards the knowledge and skill enhancement of the teachers if the appraisal scheme and tools are understood by the teachers. The two purposes of appraisal; summative and formative may not be easy to disconnect in Star School (a secondary school) but the focus of appraisal can be shifted from accountability to developmental appraisal through incorporating self-evaluation of teachers as part of existing appraisal scheme in order to develop teacher-ownership into the appraisal process. This sense of ownership offers an effective basis for stimulating change and development. However, this process also necessitated initiatives for developing expertise in appraisers and a practice-shift to connect appraisal practices with teacher professional growth. This study also recommends inclusion of self-appraisal for teachers in existing appraisal process. This study holds significance for various audiences directly or indirectly in the organisation I work for. The study could help in strengthening the appraisal scheme and it could also enable Head teachers in further in improving appraisal scheme. For the other researchers at AKU-IED, this study could give a kick-start on exploration of TPA as a professional development tool for teachers in Pakistan.
