ڈھاکہ کے متعدد دوستوں کے خطوط سے یہ معلوم کرکے بڑا افسوس ہوا کہ بنگال کے جادو نگار ادیب اور نادرۂ روزگار طبیب شفاء الملک حکیم حبیب الرحمن نے یکم ربیع الثانی ۱۳۶۶ھ کی شب میں ضغطہ دم (بلڈ پریشر) کی بیماری میں سنہ قمری سے اڑسٹھ اور شمسی سے چھیاسٹھ برس کی عمر میں دفعتہ وفات پائی، مولانا ظفر احمد صاحب عثمانی تھانوی اپنے والا نامہ میں لکھتے ہیں:
’’آپ کو وفیات لکھنے میں ملکہ ہے ایک اور وفات نامہ معارف میں لکھ دیجیے، آپ کے اور میرے مخلص دوست حکیم حبیب الرحمن صاحب کا یکم ربیع الثانی ۱۳۶۶ھ مطابق ۲۳؍ فروری ۱۹۴۷ء کی شب میں دفعتہ بلڈ پریشر بڑھ جانے سے انتقال ہوگیا، اناﷲ۔
مرحوم حضرت حکیم الامت تھانویؒ کے ابتدائی صرف ونحو کے شاگرد اور بڑے عاشق تھے، علامہ شبلی کے دوستوں میں تھے، مسلم لیگ کی جب بنیاد ۱۹۰۶ء میں ڈھاکہ میں رکھی گئی اور نواب سر سلیم اﷲ خان اس کے صدر ہوئے تو مرحوم جوائنٹ سکریڑی ہوئے تھے، علم طب حکیم عبدالمجید خان صاحب سے حاصل کیا، اور اس میں کمال کا درجہ پایا، بنگال میں اس وقت ان کے درجہ کا کوئی طبیب نہیں سنا گیا، ڈھاکہ میں طبیہ کالج قائم کیا، اور بڑی ہمت سے اس کو چلانے سے گورنمنٹ نے شفاء الملک کا خطاب دیا، جس کو ( لیگ کی تحریک کی بنا پر) ستمبر میں واپس کردیا‘‘۔
ان کے اس کالج سے بہت سے اطبا پیدا ہوئے اور اب بھی سلسلہ درس جاری ہے اور خدا کرے برابر جاری رہے۔
مولانا شبلی مرحوم مسلم ایجوکیشنل کانفرنس کے سالانہ اجلاس کے سلسلہ میں ۱۹۰۶ء میں ڈھاکہ تشریف لے گئے تھے، وہاں سے دو دوستوں کے نام ہم لوگوں کے لیے تحفہ میں اپنے ساتھ لائے، ایک کا نام مرزا فقیر محمد صاحب...
Background: Black Cumin/Nigella sativa (NS) which belongs to the botanical family of Ranunculaceae commonly grows in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Western Asia. Its prolonged use can produce physiological changes with or without affecting the architecture of different organs like the heart (cardiac remodeling). The data for the cardiovascular benefits of black cumin are not well-established scientifically. Objectives: To determine the direct cardiovascular effects of Nigella Sativa extract on heart rate, cardiac contractility (apical force), ECG, and coronary flow in the normal heart with and without cardiac remodeling. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on forty-two (42) rabbits. These rabbits were divided into seven groups, each comprising six animals (Group I-VI without cardiac remodeling and Group VII with cardiac remodeling). NS was given to these groups in different doses i.e, Group I (NS=10ug), Group II (NS=30ug), Group III (NS=100ug), Group IV (NS=300ug), Group V (NS=3000ug), Group VI (NS=10000ug) and VII (NS=300ug). Radnoti's working heart system was used to determine the effects of NS on heart rate, cardiac contractility (apical Force), ECG, and coronary flow in a normal heart with and without cardiac remodeling. The results were analyzed using SPSS version 28. Results: Results of this study revealed negative chronotropic and positive inotropic effects without ECG changes in the normal heart and with ECG changes in the remodeled heart. Conclusions: Prolonged use of Nigella sativa can lead to disturbed ECG by affecting the conducting tissue.
Assessment for learning has been given prime importance in K-12 education across the countries. This study aimed to explore the assessment practices and perceptions of two grade IX Chemistry teachers in a Government secondary school Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The study adopted qualitative case study design, where data were generated through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings of this study highlight that the teachers perceive that effectiveness of assessment is determined by its potential to promote further learning. Such assessment practices not only improve student’ learning but also provide opportunities to teachers for reflection and improvement of their instruction. The participant teachers have knowledge about number of formative assessment techniques to gauge students’ learning during the class. Among them, questioning and feedback were the two key elements of participant teachers’ assessment practices. Teachers argued that extensive reason based questioning for assessment purposes provided a venue to students to share their science conceptions in class and get feedback on them by fellow students and teachers to check whether their own conceptions are in line with established scientific ideas. The study also identified that the teachers were very concerned about monitoring students’ learning. However, teachers’ assessment practices are much influenced by the local board examinations which are mainly based on regurgitation and time bound paper-pencil tests. Because of expectations from parents and school management, teachers were obliged to train students to get high marks in the board examination. Therefore, it is recommended that the teachers’ assessment during the course of study should be given some weightage in the cumulative board examination results. Teachers should also be given professional development extensive repertoire of assessment techniques including use of ICT. There should be consultative dialogue with parents to make them understand the importance of students’ creative work which may not reflect through their marks and grades.
