دلالة النص على مبادئ الشريعة الإسلامية في الدساتير العربية وأثره في تنظيم مبدأ المساواة بين المواطنين

This research is about the effect of text meaning on the constitutional rule that related to the Islamic Sharia principles. The Islamic Sharia principles are the source of legislation in the Arab constitutions. It will also look in the impact of this constitutional rule on organizing the principle of equality among citizens in various fields; equality in front of the law and judicature, and equality in rights and freedoms. In particular, this research highlights how the impact of text on the constitutional rule affects on organizing the equality between Muslim and non-Muslim citizens, also between men and women of Muslim citizens. Thus, this research has been split into four topics that addressed respectively as follows: First, what is Islamic Sharia and Legislation in Islamic Fiqh (doctrine). Second, the semantics of multiple formulations of the Islamic Sharia principle as a source of legislation in the constitution. Third, the principle of equality in both, the Islamic Sharia and the positive law. Finally, the impact of the text on the Islamic Sharia principle of Arab constitutions in organizing the equality principle among citizens. The research concluded with set of results that can be summarized as follows: Every formula that has been used in the constitutional rule of the Islamic Sharia principle in the Arabic countries has a different semantics and results that lead to different obligations in the way of organizing the equality principle in the legislative bodies either in constitution's document or in ordinary laws. Also, the research concluded that the Islamic Sharia as a public principle doesn't conflict with the positive law in recognizing the equality principle among citizens in different fields, but the conflict is in the understanding and application of some fields of equality among citizens in different religions and genders. The researcher came with set of recommendations including clarifying wording of the text that related to the Islamic Sharia principle in the Arab constitution rules. These clarifications should prevent any other interpretations. In addition, the researcher suggested to adopt this formula: the original principles of Islamic Sharia is the main source of legislation. Also, formulations of equality principle among citizens in all its manifestations in the constitutions must be consistent with the original Islamic Sharia principle. Also, all the texts that related to the equality among citizens, and between men and women should included the sentence "with no conflict with the original Islamic Sharia principles".

Genetic Basis of Variation for High Temperature Tolerance in Gossypium Hirsutum L.

Cotton is the leading fiber crop in Pakistan. Its production is negatively affected by living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) factors and among those, high temperature is most alarming one. Present study was conducted to explore the genetic basis of heat tolerance in upland cotton. Fifty upland cotton genotypes were screened against high temperature on the basis of CMT%, canopy temperature, seed cotton yield, node number of first fruiting branch, days to first effective boll, heat index (HI) and heat tolerance index (HTI).Significant variation was observed among fifty genotypes on the basis of traits used for screening. Seven heat tolerant (CIM-602, Cyto-178, CIM-616, FH-113, CIM-600, FH-114 and KZ-189) and 5 heat sensitive (AA-802, ARK-3, AGC-501, KZ-191 and VH-389) genotypes were selected for crossing. Selected parents were crossed in North Carolina II mating design fashion in the glasshouse. Seven parent and thirty five F1 crosses were field planted under normal and heat stress condition. The analysis of North Carolina Design II revealed that significant genotypic variations exist in all characters under study like plant height, number of sympodial branches per plant, number of monopodial branches per plant, number of bolls per plant, boll weight, GOT%, seed cotton yield, fiber length, fiber strength, fiber fineness, CMT%, node number of first fruiting branch and days to first effective boll. High differences were observed between phenotypic and genotypic variances for various traits which depicted high environmental effect on all studied traits. Among testers AGC-501, AA-802 and VH-389 were found best male combiners for most of the traits. FH-114 showed good GCA effects for plant height and bolls per plant, Cyto-178 for monopodial branches per plant and boll weight, FH-113 for most of the traits studied both under normal and stressed conditions. The crosses FH-114 × ARK-3 and FH-114× AGC-501 showed good SCA effects for most of the traits. Selecting such crosses would be beneficial for the development of superior hybrid through heterosis breeding. Crosses that showed significantbetter parent heterosis for different traits were FH-114 × ARK-3 for plant height,Cyto-178 × AA-802 for monopodia,CIM-616 × ARK-3 for sympodial branches, FH-114 × VH-389 for number of bolls, FH-113 × AA-802 for boll weight, Cyto-178 × KZ-191 for seed cotton yield, CIM-616 × KZ-191 showed maximum fiber length, FH-114 × ARK-3 for fiber strength, FH-114 x KZ-191 for fiber fineness, Cyto-178 × AGC-501 for GOT%, CIM-616 x AA-802 for canopy temperature, FH-114 × VH-389 for node number of first fruiting branch, FH-114 x AA-802 for days to 1st effective boll and CIM-616 × VH-389 for CMT %.As most of the traits were governed by non-additive genes with low narrow sense heritability, so it is suggested that selection may be delayed, or development of hybrid variety would be more effective under high temperature areas.
