Semiotic Analysis of Print Media Advertisements Roland Barthes, key theorist of this study, defined semiotics as study of all signs including words, pictures, music, sound, non verbal expressions and their interrelationships. Research in hand refers to problems and research questions about understanding of denotative, connotative, deep and symbolic meanings of brand name, text, slogan, logo, picture, art work, colour scheme, linguistic and cultural changes brought generated by advertisements. To answer all aforementioned primary and subsidiary questions in hints, Barthes' Semiotic Theory comprising linguistic, denotative, connotative, Coded Iconic and Non Coded Iconic Messages, was employed in semiotic analysis phase of this research. In qualitative analysis of print media ads, exploratory and interpretive research approaches were applied to investigate participants' responses. Overall objectives of this research were focused on elaboration as well as exploration of brand name, linguistic message, logo, monogram and photographic meanings of one hundred print media advertisements. Findings of study in hand were concentrated on the semiotic interpretations of all features of an ad including brand name, slogan, picture, logo, linguistic message etc. These aspects of ads were also symbolically interpreted.

حافظ محمد ابراہیم

حافظ محمد ابراہیم
افسوس ہے جنوری کے تیسرے ہفتہ میں حافظ محمد ابراہیم صاحب ایک طویل علالت کے دہلی میں وفات پاگئے۔ نماز جنازہ شاہ جہانی جامع مسجد میں پڑھی گئی اوراس کے بعد تدفین نگینہ میں ہوئی۔انتقال کے وقت عمر ۷۷۔ ۷۸ برس کی ہوگی۔ مرحوم علی گڑھ کی پرانی نسل کے ایک فرد تھے۔یہیں فلسفہ اور اقتصادیات کے مضامین کے ساتھ بی۔اے اورپھرایل۔ایل۔بی کیا۔اپنی ذہانت،طباعی اور لیاقت کے باعث اساتذہ اورطلباء میں ہمیشہ نیک نام اورہر دل عزیز رہے۔ دیوبند کے مکتبۂ فکر کے زیر اثر قوم پرورانہ خیالات اور جذبات شروع سے رکھتے تھے۔ چنانچہ جن لوگوں نے مرحوم کا عہد طالب علمی دیکھاہے ان کابیان ہے کہ مرحوم اس زمانہ میں بھی سرسید کے سیاسی افکار کے مخالف تھے اور اس پر اپنے ساتھیوں سے محبت کرتے تھے۔علی گڑھ سے فراغت کے بعد اپنے وطن نگینہ میں پریکٹس شروع کی اورایڈوکیٹ کی حیثیت سے بہت جلد صوبہ بھر میں مشہور ہوگئے لیکن نیشنلسٹ فطرتاًتھے۔اس لیے تحریک موالات شروع ہوئی تواُس میں بڑھ چڑھ کرحصہ لیااورپھر جنگ آزادی کادورآیا توہمیشہ اُس کے ہراوّل دستہ میں رہے۔اس سلسلہ میں جیل گئے اوردوسری پریشانیاں بھی اٹھائیں لیکن پائے ثبات میں لغزش نہ ہوئی۔ پھر جب قومی وزارتوں کا عہد شروع ہوا تو پہلے اتر پردیش میں اور پھر مرکز میں وزیر رہے، آخر میں پنجاب کے گورنر تھے۔ بیماری کے باعث اس سے مستعفی ہوکرگھر آ بیٹھے تھے اوریہی بیماری آخرجان لیوا ثابت ہوئی۔ نہایت خوش خلق، مہمان نواز اور فیاض و سیرچشم تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ مغفرت ورحمت کی نعمتوں سے سرفرازفرمائے۔آمین [فروری۱۹۶۸ء]

 

مروّجہ انعامی اسکیمیں اور ان کی شرعی حیثیت

Islam is a complete code of life. It provides injunctions for every field of life. In economics it not only provides us details in finance and trade but also provides us information about "Halal & Haram". Needless to emphasize that economy plays an important role in the development of nation and financial matters cannot be ignored if development is a target. According to Islamic teachings all earnings must be lawful. Generally, new ways are being adopted to increase and generate wealth. Islam encourages to get more wealth and profit but no illegal means should be adopted for that. All kinds of fraud and unfair means while doing business must be avoided. Islam lays stress on using lawful and valid means in all economic activities. Scholars of Sub-continent have different opinions about the prevailing prize money schemes. Some scholars consider them lawful regarding some aspects but majority term them unlawful.

Impact of Retirement on the Life of the Elderly People in Peshawar, Pakistan

This study was conducted to analyze the impact of retirement in the context of socioeconomic conditions and psycho-social perspectives in Peshawar, Pakistan. In the present review, the focus has been made to examine the influence of various predictors on the quality of life of the retired elderly. A multiple indicator approach, which was based on PLS-SEM, was used to assess the impact of different constructs. Hypotheses were planned and evaluated for each dimension in the analysis. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Three standard inventories: Scale with Life Satisfaction, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and Aging Perception Questionnaire were adopted and evaluated as a composite outcome measure _ “Quality of Life”, employing Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling technique. The coefficient in the model showed that socioeconomic status, Social integration, Health and General Activity has significant contribution to the quality of life. The findings of the study indicated that the relationship between the explanatory variable and outcome variable was strong as R2 = 0.77 in the model. All constructs collectively were accounted for 77% of the amount of variance in the construct of quality of life. The result exhibited that the Social Integration (consisted of two constructs “Social Relationships” and “Consultation”), as a multiple construct, was the strong determinant for Psychological well-being and Quality of Life in the retired elderly of Peshawar.
