ڈاکٹر بھگوان داس
اسی مہینہ ہندوستان کی ایک اور نامور شخصیت ڈاکٹر بھگوان داس نے انتقال کیا، وہ اپنے دور کے مشہور صاحب علم و قلم اور درویش صفت صوفی مشرب فلسفی تھے، فلسفہ اور تصوف پر ان کی بڑی گہری نظر تھی، اس پر انگریزی میں ان کی کئی تصانیف ہیں، اسلام سے پوری طرح واقف اور اسلامی تصوف سے خاص ذوق رکھتے تھے، عقیدۃً موحد اور اپنی تہذیب و معاشرت میں پرانی تہذیب و شرافت و وضعداری کا نمونہ تھے، اپنے مسلمان دوستوں کو جب خطوط لکھتے تھے تو اپنا نام عبدالقادر لکھتے تھے اور کہتے تھے کہ بھگوان داس اور عبدالقادر کے معنی ایک ہیں، بمبئی کے گورنر سری پرکاش صاحب کے والد تھے، ان کو شرافت و وضعداری اپنے والد ہی سے ترکہ میں ملی ہے،ڈاکٹر بھگوان داس کی موت سے ہندوستان کی ایک بڑی علمی و تہذیبی یادگار مٹ گئی۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، اکتوبر ۱۹۵۸ء)
The present study explores students’ perception regarding internet usage and its impact on their academic performance at elementary level in district Peshawar, KP. The study was quantitative in nature. The population includes both (male and female) elementary schools of district Peshawar, KP. Purposive sampling technique was used. The data was collected from (141) students through close-ended questionnaire based on five point Likert’s scale. The collected data was tabulated and analyzed by using MS word, SPSS software and Chi-square. The major conclusions show that both male and female students were having same views about using internet and agree that using internet makes their study more convenient, useful and improve their learning skills. It helps in improving their grades. The study concludes that while using internet, the students are also facing some problems such as shortage of power, affects eyesight and critical thinking and pain in shoulders etc. Some recommendations made by the study were that proper training and guidance may be provided to students for using internet.
Maize shows reduced crop stand under relatively suboptimal conditions, the main reason for this is sensitivity of bud tissue to temperature fluctuations and salinity at sowing time. The aim of these studies was to explore the physiological and biochemical occurring at seedling stage in a time course manner. The determinations were made on growth, photosynthetic pigments, accumulation of osmolytes, oxidative damage and antioxidants, secondary metabolites and nutritional quality characteristics in shoot and root of two differentially heat stress tolerant varieties of maize. Results revealed that reduction in length, fresh and dry weight of shoot and root and loss of chlorophylls and carotenoids in the leaves were the explicit determinants of heat damage. The heat tolerance of maize was associated to greater accumulation of glycinebetaine followed by free proline. As evident from H 2 O 2 and MDA data, heat stress produced oxidative stress on both the varieties, although lowly in the tolerant one. Enhanced or steady state levels of niacin, ascorbic acid and riboflavin and enhanced ability of reducing powers led to the alleviation of oxidative damage on the maize plant. Among the secondary metabolites, enhanced synthesis of flavonoids and anthocyanins and saponin was closely related to the heat tolerance of maize. As for nutritional quality characteristics, heat stress reduced the crude fiber, starch, oil and proteins contents and led to an overall reduction in the accumulation of nitrate, phosphate and K, and led to a hampered nutritional value and metabolizable energy in both the varieties, but tolerant maize was superior for these attributes. In short, heat tolerance in maize was associated greater photosynthetic pigments levels and better metabolic adjustment, which resulted in better nutritional quality of the vegetative parts for use as fodder for the animals. All these changes were more precise in the shoot.
