نیشنل بک ٹرسٹ انڈیا نے اس کتاب کی پشت پر علامہ اقبال کے حوالے سے مختصرا تعارف پیش کیا ہے ساتھ ہی پروفیسر عبد الحق کا تعارف بھی درج ہے۔ وہاں واضح طور پر لکھا ہے کہ اقبال نے ہندوستان کی فلاح و بہبود کے لیے بڑے پر سوز نغمے پیش کیے ہیں۔ اقبال زندگی کے کسی بھی دور میں ہندوستان کے معاملات سے بے نیاز نہ ہوئے۔ آپ نے مغرب کی غلامی سے نجات حاصل کرنے اور آپس میں اتحاد و اتفاق سے رہنے پر زور دیا۔ وطن کی عظمت کا احساس اور باہمی اتحاد ہی اقبال کی شاعری کا مرکز ہے۔
پروفیسر عبد الحق کے تعارف میں لکھا ہے کہ پروفیسر عبدالحق اردو کا ایک معتبر نام ہے۔ انہیں اقبال سے خاص دلچسپی ہے ۔ 1965ء میں "اقبالیات کا تنقیدی مطالعہ " کے موضوع پر ڈاکٹریٹ کی ڈگری حاصل کی ۔ اب تک اقبال سے متعلق ان کی بہت سی کتابیں شائع ہو چکی ہیں ۔ ان کی تقریباً 24 کتابیں ہیں جن میں تراجم بھی شامل ہیں۔ وہ 37 سال کا تدریسی تجربہ رکھتے ہیں ۔ دہلی یونیورسٹی سے پروفیسر کی حیثیت سے 2004 ء میں سبک دوش ہوئے۔ کشمیر یونی ورسٹی اور جواہر لعل نہرو یونیورسٹی میں وزیٹنگ پروفیسر کی حیثیت سے کام کرتے رہے۔ انہیں متعدد اعزاز بھی مل چکے ہیں۔ انہیں دہلی اردو اکادمی کی جانب سے 2006ء میں تحقیق و تنقید کا اعزاز پیش کیا گیا۔
پروفیسر عبدالحق نے اس کتاب میں پہلے مقدمہ تحریر کیا ہے پھر کچھ منتخب نظمیں ، غزلیں اور رباعیات ، تعلیمی اداروں ، اساتذہ، ملازمت، اردو اور فارسی کتب کا ذکر کیا ہے۔ اس طرح

In Pakistan, the financial issues of married working women are rarely discussed. There is an absence of literature on the subject. Nevertheless, the social sciences literature has been debating financial aspect of gender, either from the perspective of employer or employee; ignoring the working women’s reservations regarding their financial contribution in their marital life, particularly with reference to spouse and in-laws expectations. This issue becomes more acute when it comes to patriarchal conservative developing societies. This study is a delicate attempt to understand the magnitude of financial support of Pakistani married working women for spouse and in-laws, in the city of Lahore. In routine, the husband as well as the in-laws expect that a working wife should surrender her income, in entirety or partially towards the household budget, thus taking the financial responsibility of her spouse along with his extended family. Such financial misgivings create tensions and pressure for the already burdened woman having a disadvantaged status. In certain cases, the contribution is by free will of the wife, as well. This research will make an attempt through a survey with 50 married working women of different social classes, residing in Lahore. The purpose is to understand the rationale of approval or disapproval of this practice. Refusal for cooperation often create problems for the earning woman, even at the risk of separation or divorce, or at the least, tensions in the married life. At the end, the study will debate over possible adjustments and compromises, which could reduce tense situation for the married working woman, and at the same time maintaining her financial independence.
Alpha-thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder which is an autosomal recessive type
disorder characterized by a microcytic hypochromic anemia and hemolytic anemia. The
a-thalassemias involve the genes?HBA1?and?HBA2.The aim of this research was to determine
the mutations in hemoglobin alpha 1 (HBA1) in Thalassemia affected patients and in silico
analysis of identified mutations to predict the functional effect. In this study, genomic DNA
was extracted from 40 Patients affected with Thalassemia (n=40) disease. Blood samples
were collected in vacutainers with EDTA as an anticoagulant from the patients and relatives.
Blood samples with anticoagulant were used for leukocytes based DNA extraction. Standard
organic method was used for DNA extraction. DNA samples were quantified using agarose
gel and DNA ladder. Primers were designed using gene sequence from NCBI gene bank.
Primer3 software was used for primer designing. PCR conditions will be optimized for
amplification and PCR was performed to determine the SNPs. A 382 base pair fragment of
DNA of HBA1gene of exon 3 was amplified using polymerize chain reaction (PCR)
technique. Sanger sequencing of the selected samples was done to identify polymorphisms.
A total of 24 samples out of 40 samples of DNA were sequenced and these SNPs were
confirmed by alignment. We were unable to find the mutations in the HBA1 gene but two
heterozygous variations were found in HBA1exon 3.Two
heterozygous
variations were confirmed in exonic area of HBA1 gene of
Patients affected with Thalassemia. The findings of this
research revealed no mutations were found in HBA1 gene. Two
heterozygous variants were confirmed at the position of c.514
on amplified fragment from G> C and second change at the
position of c.470 on amplified fragment G > C in 3?UTR..
Variations were further subjected for splice site analysis.
The splicing site analysis was done by using an online tool
(Human splicing finder).A variation which were present at
c.514 G>C were found in the potential splice site and its
consensus value is 88.39 and the second one is not in the
target region of splicing.
