Introduction: Neonatal Mortality in hospitalized patient is one of the major concerns globally. Despite of many initiatives, it is still a health challenge. In Afghanistan, neonatal mortality rate (NMR) is estimated as 45/1000 live births which is alarming and one of the highest rate in the world. This study aimed to identify the causes of mortality and its associated factors among neonates in French Medical Institute for Children, Kabul Afghanistan. Methodology: We conducted an analytical retrospective hospital based study to achieve the current study objectives. We extracted the records of 110 neonates who have died during hospitalization at FMIC due to somatic and/or organic diseases from January 2013 to December 2014. A structured checklist was developed to collect information for different variables. Data was analyzed with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 19.0. Chi-square test of independence was run for association between predictors and outcome variables. The study is approved by Institutional Ethical Review Board of Ministry of Public Health. Results: Among all the causes, Septicemia was found to be the leading cause of neonatal mortality and 60% of the neonates had died due to this cause. Following Septicemia, Pneumonia was the next leading cause of neonatal deaths and around 21% of the participants had died due to this second leading cause of mortality. On the other hand, meningitis contributed 10.91% in neonatal deaths. Around 7.27% of the deaths were due to complication of prematurity i.e. respiratory distress syndrome. One of the complications of prematurity was necrotizing Entero colitis which leads to 5.45% neonatal deaths. Ten percent of neonatal mortality was due to birth asphyxia, 10.91% because of meconium aspiration ix syndrome, and only 1.82% deaths due to TGA with closing PDA which is cyanotic type of congenital heart diseases in our study. In addition, this study has also showed that mortality due to Septicemia was significantly associated with birth weight and gestational age. Our research was unable to explore the socioeconomic factors associated with mortality due to Pneumonia.Conclusion: Neonates are the high risk population in Afghanistan. This study has estimated proportions of neonatal mortality due to Septicemia and Pneumonia as 60% and 21% respectively. Immediate and long term actions are required to change the current situation and improve the overall neonatal health at home, facility and hospital levels. The recommendations have implications for ministry of public health to devise relevant and appropriate interventions and policies

جواں جذبوں اور امکانات کا شاعر
ڈاکٹر رحمت علی شادؔ
جینے کے ڈھنگ تیری جدائی سکھا گئی
اور یاد تیری مجھ کو ہے شاعر بنا گئی
شہرِ فرید میں جنم لینے والے ڈاکٹر فہد ملک ایک خوش اخلاق،خوش لباس، خوش اطوار اور خوبرو نوجوان ہیں۔ جن کی پہچان کے دو بڑے حوالے ہیں۔ ایک یہ کہ وہ ایک فرض شناس میڈیکل ڈاکٹر ہیںاور دوسرا معتبر حوالہ یہ بھی ہے کہ وہ پاک پتن کے ابھرتے ہوئے ایک عمدہ لب و لہجے کے نووارد شاعر ہیں۔ شہرِ فرید کی ادبی روایت میں ایک خوش گوار اضافہ ثابت ہونے والے فہد ملک کے کلام میں فنی و فکری ہر دو طرح کی جھلکیاں بخوبی دیکھی جاسکتی ہیں۔
ڈاکٹر فہد ملک کی شاعری میں سادگی اور سلاست کا نصر نمایاں ہے۔ وہ کبھی لفاظی ،ثقیل اور بھاری بھرکم تراکیب کے چکر میں نہیں پڑتے ان کو جو بات کہنا ہوتی ہے بڑے سادہ اور موثر انداز میں کہہ دیتے ہیں۔ انھوں نے غزل کے ساتھ نظم بھی لکھی ہے جہاں انھوں نے نہ صرف خیال اور موضوع کو بہتر انداز میں بیان کیا ہے بل کہ عام فہم استعارات و تشبیہات ،اضافتیں، اشارے کنایے اور روایتی علامات بھی استعمال کی ہیں۔ ان کے خیالات منفرد اور لہجہ زود فہم ہے۔ وہ کوئی بھی خیال پیش کرتے ہیں تو اس کو الجھاتے نہیں۔بل کہ کھول کر بیان کر دیتے ہیں۔کسی بھی شاعر کے کلام میں سہلِ ممتنع کا استعمال ایک عمدہ خوبی سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ کیوں کہ بڑے بڑے موضوعات اور بڑی بڑی باتوں کو چند موزوں الفاظ میں بیان کر دینا کوئی آسان بات نہیں۔ چھوٹے چھوٹے مصرعوں میں ایک مکمل اور بھرپور مضمون کو بیان کرنا غیر معمولی بات ہے۔ فہد ملک کی شاعری میں بھی سہلِ ممتنع کی متعدد مثالیں موجود ہیں۔ سہلِ ممتنع کا انداز لیے...

Anglicization of Shariah in Anglo Indian Courts and its Impact on Pakistan Law: A Case Study With Special Reference to Waqf, Inheritance and Equity

This thesis argues the treatment of Islamic law under the English legal system by looking into the developments in law of family waqf, inheritance and equity in British India. It has the dual objective of analysing the impact of the English legal system upon Islamic law, and its impact on Pakistani law. It not only examines the evolution of codification of Islamic laws in sub-continent during colonial rule but also that how this codification partially influences the Islamic Law. It argues that the laws of waqf and inheritance were transformed in order to fit into new legal system. The colonial state also used the methods of translation, adjudication, and legislation in order to transform Islamic law into AngloMuhammadan Law. They amalgamated law of inheritance and customary law, made “rivāj e ʻaām” through settlement officer and later they recognised this “rivāj e ʻaām” as testimony and enforced it through courts. In 18th century British in their regulations merged equity, justice and good-conscience with customary law, though equity fills the gap of law on the discretion of their judges. The study begins with the brief introduction of Anglicization of Sharī‘ah during British sway in India. Then the essentials of the Islamic Law of waqf are described in a good detail, in the light of the opinions of Islamic jurists. The third part of the study not only briefs about the legal contribution of the Privy Council to the law of waqf but also the cases about family law of waqf in Pakistan. The law of Inheritance in Islam is specially focusing on the shares of females in Islamic Law to ensure that no local custom can override the law of inheritance in Islam is examined in fourth part of the study. In fifth part the attempts have been made to examine the law of Inheritance in sub-continent during British rule and its impact on the current Law of Inheritance in Pakistan. For better understanding case law on Inheritance rights of women in Pakistan is discussed in detail. The last part of the research examines the role of the doctrine of justice, equity and good conscience in British rule in sub-continent and its impact on Pakistani law. Case law in Pakistan regarding this notion is also discussed.
