سید اسد اﷲ صاحب کاظمی
افسوس ہے کہ مشہور ماہر تعلیم سید اسد اﷲ صاحب کاظمی نے کراچی میں انتقال کیا وہ مسلم یونیورسٹی کے نامور فرزند تھے حصول تعلیم کے بعد کچھ دنوں یونیورسٹی ہی میں انگریزی کے استاد رہے، پھر صوبہ متحدہ کے محکمہ تعلیمات سے وابستہ ہوگئے، اور ڈپٹی ڈائرکٹر کے عہدہ تک پہنچے، اسی زمانہ میں ریاست کشمیر کے ڈائرکٹر تعلیمات ہوگئے ملازمت سے ریٹائر ہونے کے بعد یونیسکو کی طرف سے کئی سال تک حکومت بغداد کے مشیر تعلیم رہے اس طرح ان کی پوری عمر تعلیمی تجربات میں گذری مسلمانوں میں وہ ماہر تعلیم مانے جاتے تھے، ان کو مسلمانوں کے تعلیمی مسائل سے بڑی دلچسپی تھی، اور اُن کی تعلیمی تنظیموں کو اپنے تجربات اور مفید مشوروں سے فائدہ پہنچاتے تھے، علمی و ادب کا بلند اور (ستھرا مذاق رکھتے تھے) مذہبی مطالعہ بھی وسیع تھا، راسخ العقیدہ پابند مذہب مسلمان تھے، کلام مجید کے مطالعہ کا خاص ذوق تھا، بغداد کے قیام کے زمانہ میں کچھ عربی بھی سیکھ لی تھی۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ نے اُن کو دین و دنیا دونوں سے نوازا تھا، عالم آخرت کی نعمتوں سے بھی سرفراز فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، نومبر ۱۹۷۱ء)
This research explores the dynamic interaction between social media and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, revealing a complex culture war unfolding in the digital landscape. The study examines how social media platforms have become arenas of competition, where traditional Islamic values collide with the global influence of digital communication. By examining the ways in which social media have shaped and reflected Pakistani cultural identity, the research examines the tension between modernity and conservatism, as well as challenges to established social norms. Additionally, it analyzes the role of social media in promoting communication, political discourse, and diverse voices in the context of Pakistan's cultural landscape. By shedding light on this culture war, this research contributes to understanding the complex relationship between social media and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Keywords: Social media, Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Clash of Civilizations, digital communication, Islamic Culture.
Climate change is a serious threat to agricultural productivity and food security. These changes are more critical in arid and semi-arid areas. Crop growth models are the tools used for transformation of traditional production technology to adapt changing climate. Keeping in view the current climate change impact on agriculture a two years field study was conducted at Faisalabad, Sheikhupura and Hafizabad. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement. There were three replications. Transplanting dates (1st, 15th and 30th July) were randomized in main plots while fine rice varieties (Super Basmati, Shaheen Basmati, Basmati-2000, and Basmati-515) were randomized in sub plots. Data were collected on crop growth, development, yield and light interception using standard procedures and analyzed statistically at 5% probability (Steel et al., 1997). CSM-CERES-Rice model in the shell of Decision Support System for Agro-technology Transfer (DSSAT v 4.5) was calibrated, evaluated and validated. After this the model was used for assessing risk, under changing climate of Punjab. Number of fertile tillers per m2, kernels per panicle, 1000-kernels weight, total dry matter, paddy yield, leaf area index, radiation use efficiency, length width ratio and water absorption ratio were significantly affected by environments (years, locations), transplanting dates and varieties. Model calibrated phenology for four varieties reasonably with RMSE 2.5, 1.3, 2.8 and 1.6 for anthesis, 2, 3, 2 and 3 for physiological maturity, 0.99, 0.87, 0.1.21 and 1.01 for LAI, 766, 745, 742 and 227 kg ha-1 for TDM and 138, 740, 264 and 241 kg ha-1 for yield of Super Basmati, Shaheen Basmati, Basmati-515 and Basmati-2000 respectively. Climate change analysis indicated drastic effects of increase in temperature on rice production. Under the current scenario, it seemed that yield will decreased by 16.5% to 30.7% from early to late century (2014-2099).
