The control of water pollution has become of increasing interests because it is associated with the life of human beings, animals and the land which is irrigated with it. Water pollution has many dimensions and types but pollution due to industrial wastes is commonly metal pollution and chemical pollution. The present study emphasizes the water pollution and composites present in waste water like dyes and surfactants. Dyes are the main component of the dyeing industries so the effluent carrying high content of dyes along with other composites. It is quite difficult to remove dyes from effluents since most of them are stable to light, heat and oxidizing agents and they are biologically non-degradable also. Whereas the surfactants are the major part of every washing and cleaning agents like soaps, washing powder, dish washing bars, toothpastes and widely used in textile industry as softener. So both dyes and surfactants are the major constituent of domestic and industrial waste water. The treatment of contaminated waste water is necessary before it enter into the stream, lake, river or sea. The disposal of wastes containing dyes and surfactants into receiving water bodies effects on the values of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) which resulted toxicity of aquatic life. In the current study by employing physical and chemical treatment methods utilization and removal of surfactant and dyes were carried out. The physical treatment method like adsorption technique was adopted by using natural materials and their modified surfaces for the removal of dyes and surfactant. The physical treatment method is beneficial for the removal and the regeneration of adsorbed substances. It is also economical and low cost method and can be employed on industrial scale before the disposal of waste into the stream and other reservoirs. The efforts were done by developing a model system for the removal of surfactant Cetylpyridinum Chloride (CPYCl) and dyes Malachite Green 11 (MG), Methylene blue (MB), Fast Green (FG) from aqueous solution by adopting batch adsorption method. The Cetylpyridinum Chloride (CPYCl) is the main constituent of daily washing powder and the dyes Malachite Green (MG) and Methylene blue (MB) are used in textile and paper industries and Fast Green (FG) dye widely used in food industries. The adsorbents were used for the removal of surfactant and dyes are raw Charcoal (RC), marine Algea like Ulva Lactuca (UL) and Sargassum Muticum (SM), Used Black tea (UBT), and impregnated used black tea (IM-UBT). Raw Charcoal was prepared from coconut dry shells, the algae Ulva Lactuca (UL) and Sargassum Muticum (SM) were collected from sea shore near the Clifton beach of Arabian Sea while Used Black tea (UBT) were collected from tea canteens as it is waste material after making tea and used for adsorption purposes. The modified surface of UBT were prepared by impregnation technique and their nano composites were prepared by impregnation with lead nitrate Pb(NO3)2. The batch adsorption experiments were run and effect of amount of adsorbents, concentration of adsorbate, contact time and temperature were investigated. Spectrophotometric technique was adopted for the measurement of concentration of dyes before and after adsorption. The adsorption data were fitted in the adsorption models like Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin- Radushkevich adsorption isotherm equations and the values of their respective constants were evaluated. Thermodynamic parameters such as (ΔG) free energy, (ΔH) enthalpy, and (ΔS) entropy of the system were calculated. Mean free energy of sorption (Es) was also estimated in order to get the clear picture of energy exchange between the adsorbate and adsorbent using D-R adsorption isotherm equation. The values of % removal show that adsorption of surfactant (CPYCl) and dyes (MG), (MB) and (FG) on the natural and modified adsorbents show about 70% - 80% removal tendency. The chemical treatment method was adopted for the decoloration of dye effluent by the photoreduction method. The reduction kinetic was studied for all the dye systems but fast green (FG) show dominating results. It is evenly widely used for domestic and industrial purposes and also it is a representative of its acidic group dyes. The rate of the reaction was determined by varying concentration and temperatures of dye, surfactant and base (NaOH) at 303K to 323 K at the step of ± 5 °C. It was observed that the reduction followed pseudo first-order kinetics with respect to dye, surfactant, and OH– ion concentration .The mechanism for the photo bleaching of the dye has been proposed and well confirmed by the data simulation procedure. The activation parameters of the reaction like entropy of activation (ΔS) and free energy of activation (ΔG) showed the extremely solvated states of transient complex which was less disorderly arranged than the oxidized form of dye, whereas energy of activation Ea values reflects a high amount of energy required for the reduction of dye with surfactant cetylpyridinum chloride. The % decolorations of dyes were obtained about 70 to 80%. It was concluded that if the effluent contains acidic dyes and the cationic surfactant simultaneously, the dye will reduced by the surfactant and in this manner that surfactant in waste will also be utilized to reduce the harmful effects of dyes. It is an economical and cost effective method to utilize waste material for the purification of effluent also we can regenerate these adsorbents for the further treatment process. By employing impregnation technique nano composites were prepared from waste material and they show better adsorption tendency as compared to commercial adsorbents. The purification of waste water was carried out by employing physical method like adsorption and chemical method by reduction kinetics technique so we can simulate the model for the recycling of solid -liquid waste and we save the environment with harmful pollutants.

امیجری

عصر حاضر میں” امیجری" کو خاص اہمیت حاصل ہوئی ہے۔ یہ تنقید کا انفرادی انداز ہے۔ روایت تو یہ ہے کہ یہ طریقہ کار مغرب میں رائج تھا مگر ایسا نہیں ہے۔ ہمارے لیے نہ تو یہ نو وارد ہے اور نہ ہی عجیب و غریب۔ ہاں یہ ضرور ہے کہ ہمارے شعر و ادب میں یہ انداز پہلے رائج نہیں تھا اور نہ ہی اس انداز سے کسی شعر کا تنقیدی یا تحقیقی مطالعہ کیا جاتا تھا۔ اگر ہم امیجری کے ذریعے کسی شعر یا شاعر کے فکر وفن کا مطالعہ کریں تو دونوں کے فنی محاسن کا تجزیہ بھی آسان ہو جاتا ہے اور دونوں کی ہمیت وافادیت بھی واضح ہو جاتی ہے۔ گویا امیجری شعرا ور شاعر کے فکری وقتی مطالعہ کا آسان ذریعہ ہے۔
شاعر اپنے کلام کو عمدہ بنانے کے لیے مختلف محاسن استعمال کرتے ہیں تاکہ ان کی شاعری دلکش رنگ اختیار کر سکے۔ شاعر کا کلام جتنا دلکش اور با مقصد ہو گا اسے اتناہی تنظیم شاعر تسلیم کیا جائے گا کیونکہ کلام میں دلکشی اور مقصدیت پیدا کرنا کسی عام شاعر کے بس کی بات نہیں ۔ شاعر یا ادیب کا مقصد ہی یہ ہوتا ہے کہ دوسروں کی آواز بھی اس کی آواز کے ساتھ مل جائے ۔ شاعر اپنے کلام سے یہ ثابت کرتا ہے کہ اس کی کہی ہوئی بات درست ہے اور اس کام کے لیے اسے اپنے کلام میں اثر پیدا کرنا پڑتا ہے۔ اس کام کے لیے شاعر بہتر سے بہتر طریقہ کار اختیار کرتا ہے۔ اثر آفرینی کے بہت سے طریقے ہیں۔ یہ تو سب سے اہم ہے کہ جو بھی بات کہے وہ دل سے نکلے مگر کبھی اثر آفرینی کے لیے الفاظ و تراکیب کام دکھاتے ہیں تو کبھی تشبیہ اور استعارے۔ اس طرح اور بھی کئی فنی محاسن ہیں...

Urdu Dissertations of Islamic Studies on Semitic Religions (MPhil, PhD) in Pakistani Universities: An Index and Bibliometric Review Study of religions or Comparative Religions is a globally significance subject. Pakistan is also resourceful in this field. In many universities, there are special departments on this valuable subject. It is taught as compulsory course at BS & MA level in the departments of Isalmic studies in all universities. In many universities it’s also taught at MPhil and PhD level, some of them have produced hundreds of MS and PhDs dissertations on this subject. Due to its importance, it was a dire need to review and compile the titles of theses and dissertations, which are produced from the universities on the subject. In this study, efforts are made to review and compile a comprehensive index of such theses at MPhil and PhD level from Pakistani universities with statistical analysis. Due to its huge amount, the data is divided into two major types, Semitic and non-Semitic religions. The current study covers only Semitic/ Revealed and related topics. The word Semitic refers to the race of the son of Prophet Noah (A.S) or the areas where this race was spread and grew. Semitic Religions consists of; Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In this study, Biblometric approach is adopted with mix method approach. Total 393 theses of Islamic Studies on Semitic Religions are compiled and statistically evaluated in this paper. The study concludes that a good deal of literature and dissertations are available in Pakistani universities on Comparative Religions and Interfaith Studies. It is recommended that contents of theses should be analyzed for improvement of the Study of Religions in Pakistan

Heat Sterss Management Through Selenium and Ascorbic Acid in Cotton Gossypium Hirsutum L.

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the important cash crops. Among all the environmental stresses high temperature is a key factor responsible for reduction in growth and yield of cotton. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the plant responses to heat stresses and their underlying physiological mechanisms, as it can provide insights into how plants could be modified to increase tolerance. Selenium plays a protective role in antioxidative defense mechanisms of plants while ascorbate is a major metabolite in plants and may perform a critical role in plant protection against several environmental stresses. The present investigations were carried out to improve heat tolerance in cotton by using selenium or ascorbic acid. Two independent experiments were planted during 2013 and repeated during 2014 at the Agronomic Research Area, University of Agricultural Faisalabad, Pakistan. These experiments were managed under randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement with three replicates. Seed of Bt cotton (cv. MNH-886) was used at the rate of 20 kg ha-1 and was sown at 30 cm distance from each other on 75 cm apart ridges. The plot size was 6.0 × 3.75 m. First experiment comprised of heat stress imposition (H0= No heat imposition, H1= Heat imposition at square initiation, H2= Heat imposition at flower initiation) and levels of foliar applied selenium (Se0= control (water spray), Se1= 50 mg L-1, Se2= 100 mg L-1, Se3= 150 mg L-1). In second experiment same heat stress treatments were combined with four levels of foliar applied ascorbic acid (A0= control (water spray), A1= 20 mg L-1, A2= 40 mg L-1 and A3= 60 mg L-1). The results showed that heat stress badly affected the crop osmotic potential, total chlorophyll contents and activities of enzymatic antioxidants that not only reduced the growth and yield but also resulted in poor quality fiber. Application of selenium (150 mg L-1) or ascorbic acid (40 mg L-1) improved seed cotton yield and fiber quality traits of the crop by ameliorating the negative impacts of heat on crop. The activities of antioxidants enzymes (POD, CAT and SOD) were also increased at this level of selenium or ascorbic acid. So foliar applied selenium and ascorbic acid, at their appropriate levels have potential to ameliorate the harmful impacts of heat stress and improve the performance of cotton crop.
