گلوبل وارمنگ اور ہماری ذمہ داریاں
ڈاکٹر عبدالمنان چیمہ
گلوبل وارمنگ، جسے عالمی درجہ حرارت میں اضافہ بھی کہا جاتا ہے، زمین کے موسمی نظام میں مسلسل بڑھتی ہوئی حرارت کا عمل ہے۔ اس کی بنیادی وجہ گرین ہاؤس گیسوں جیسے کاربن ڈائی آکسائیڈ، میتھین، اور نائٹروس آکسائیڈ کی مقدار میں اضافہ ہے، جو انسانی سرگرمیوں، مثلاً فوسل فیولز کا جلانا، جنگلات کی کٹائی، اور زراعت سے پیدا ہوتی ہیں۔ گلوبل وارمنگ کی بڑی وجہ ماحولیاتی آلودگی میں بے پناہ اضافہ ہے۔ماحولیاتی آلودگی سے مراد قدرتی ماحول میں ایسے اجزاء شامل کرنا ہے جس کی وجہ سے ماحول میں منفی اور ناخوشگوار تبدیلیاں واقع ہوں۔ زمینی درجہ حرارت میں اضافہ کی بنیادی وجہ ماحول میں انسانی مداخلت ہے۔ ربِ کائنات نے قدرتی وسائل سے مالا مال کیا ہے لیکن جدید انسان سرمایہ کی حرص میں اس صاف ستھرے ماحول میں بعض ایسے مضر اجزاء یا مادّے شامل کررہا ہے، جس کی وجہ سے ماحولیاتی و موسمیاتی تبدیلیاں وقوع پذیر ہورہی ہیں۔ ماحولیاتی تبدیلیاں نہ صرف امراض میں اضافے کا سبب بن رہی ہیں بلکہ انسانی جسم کا دفاعی نظام بھی بُری طرح متاثر کررہی ہیں۔
موسمیاتی تبدیلیاں بالواسطہ یا بلا واسطہ طور پر ہماری زندگیوں میں منفی کردار ادا کرتی ہیں۔ماحولیاتی آلودگی نےہر جان دار کو اپنے شکنجے میں لے رکھا ہے۔ ماحولیاتی آلودگی کے نتیجے میں مختلف بیماریوں مثلاً پھیپھڑوں کے امراض، دَمے، تپِ دق، دِل، جِلدی اور آنکھوں کے امراض کی شرح میں مسلسل اضافہ ہورہا ہے۔ ریسرچ پورٹس کے مطابق دُنیا بَھر میں روزانہ لاکھوں افراد ماحولیاتی آلودگی کی وجہ سے مختلف عوراض کا شکار ہورہے ہیں۔ ان میں سانس کا مسئلہ، دَمہ، سینے کا انفیکشن،ہارٹ انفیکشن ،ہائی بلڈ پریشر،جلدی امراض، ہارٹ اٹیک اور فالج وغیرہ شامل ہیں۔ توانائی کے لئے وسیع پیمانے پر فوسل فیولز کا استعمال درجہ میں اضافے کی بڑی وجہ ہے۔ٹرانسپورٹ کے...
It is generally believed that the contemporary world of academia is divided between Divine and non-Divine philosophies. By considering the Divine theory in accordance to the human behavior, advocates of theory take it in the best interest of mankind. They argued that the Creator Himself guides the human being in right direction. Islam unlike modern concept of governance does not separate religion from politics and fulfills its legislative needs by means of Divine Law or Shariah. In Islamic system, the state through Caliph will have to establish Shariah of God by working on the restrictions set by Him and in conformity with His orders and commands. Yet he is allowed only to give lawful command and the people are also bound to follow only the lawful commands. In Islam there is no place for such a political order where a solitary individual or a group of persons have authoritarian or dictatorial rule. However, the Muslims, in all circumstances, must cling to the state authorities and are obliged to submit to the ultimate source of law given by the Almighty Allah in the Quran. Non-Divine theories, on the other hand mainly stress upon rationalization of human development and behavior in a certain direction. Leaving those theories aside, current study will focus on the political philosophy of Islam as prescribed by the teachings of Quran and Sunnah. The subject matter of the study is to see the possibilities regarding implementation of Islamic values in the contemporary state and society.
The present study is concerned with the selection of a potent strain of Aspergillus niger and optimization of the cultural conditions for the biosynthesis of amyloglucosidase. About 150 strains of A. niger were isolated from soils of different habitats. Isolate No. 52 producing enzyme 7.46 U/ml/min was selected and assigned the name BT. The cultural conditions were optimized for the enzyme production. Five culture media were tested for maximum amyloglucosidase production in 250 ml shake flask. The culture medium M2 containing (g/l) Raw starch 10.0, lactose 10.0, (NH4)2SO4 5.0, MgSO4.H2O 2.0, CaCl2.H2O 2.0, KH2PO4 1.50, K2HPO4 0.1, Distilled water to make final volume 1000ml (pH 5.5) was found to be the best medium for the maximum amyloglucosidase production (11.05 U/ml/min). 50 ml/250ml flask was found to be optimum volume of the medium and the enzyme production was increased to 11.90 U/ml/min. Optimum temperature was 300C as the production of the enzyme following the growth of the organism was found to be maximum (12.18 U/ml/min). The production of the enzyme was optimum (13.28 U/ml/min) after 72 h of incubation, with the initial pH of the medium 5.0. 2% Starch with 1% glucose as an additional carbon source gave maximum amyloglucosidase production (14.21 U/ml/min). Addition of 0.3% ammonium sulphate in the fermentation medium increased the enzyme production (14.68 U/ml/min). While 2% spore inoculum showed best amyloglucosidase production (14.47 U/ml/min). The strain was improved by the alternate treatment of the parent strain with ethidium bromide and EMS. The mutant strain M4 120 produced an increased amount of amyloglucosidase (18.84 U/ml/min). The cultural conditions, were also optimized for mutant strain of Aspergillus niger M4 120 to obtain maximum enzyme production. The culture medium M2 produced maximum enzyme (19.49 U/ml/min). With 50 ml volume of the fermentation medium, amyloglucosidase production increased (20.32 U/ml/min). The temperature, 300C was optimum and enzyme production was maximum at this temperature (20.30 U/ml/min). After 72 h of incubation amyloglucosidase reached its maximum level (20.46 U/ml/min). The initial pH 5.0 was found to be best with the enzyme production (21.86 U/ml/min). Starch was the best carbon source and at 2% starch concentration the productivity of the enzyme increased to 22.84 U/ml/min. When 1% glucose was added as the additional carbon source along with starch still an increased amount of enzyme production was obtained (24.13 U/ml/min). Different nitrogen sources of organic and inorganic nature were tested for the enzyme production. Ammonium sulphate was found to be the best nitrogen source. The enzyme production increased with the addition of ammonium sulphate to 24.16 U/ml/min of amyloglucosidase. When 0.4% concentration of ammonium sulphate was added to the fermentation medium the enzyme production increased to its maximum level (25.29 U/ml/min). Spore inoculum was found better as compared to the vegetative inoculum. With 2% spore inoculum maximum amyloglucosidase production was achieved. Scale-up studies were carried out in a stirred fermentor of 7.5 litres capacity. The production of the amyloglucosidase was maximum when the volume of the medium was 60% (4.5 litres), the speed of agitation was 200 rpm and the aeration rate was maintained at 1.0 l l-1min-1 exhibiting 25.15 U/ml/min of amyloglucosidase. When 4% inoculum was added the maximum enzyme production (25.28 U/ml/min) was achieved after 48 h. The optimum initial pH of the medium was found to be 5.0. After the optimization of the cultural conditions in the stirred fermentor, partial purification of amyloglucosidase was performed by ammoniun sulphate precipitation. The enzyme activity was more in the range of 40-70 % saturation level. The specific activity of amyloglucosidase increased after the partial purification and the maximum specific activity was achieved at 70% ammonium sulphate saturation (21000 U/ml/min). Sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was run to determine the molecular weight of amyloglucosidase. The molecular weight of partially purified amyloglucosidase was found to be 65 KDa approximately. The characterization of the enzyme was done. The optimum amyloglucosidase activity was obtained at pH 4.75, 600C after 60 min at 5% starch concentration
