بجلی کے بحران پہ کیسے قابو پایا جا سکتا ہے

بجلی کے بحران پر قابو کیسے پایا جاسکتا ہے
نہ چھوڑیں واپڈا والے اگر بجلی تو کیا غم ہے
’’یدِ بیضا لیے بیٹھے ہیں اپنی آستینوں میں‘‘
انسان گھر میں موجود ہے۔ گھر کا سارا نظام اس کی سر پرستی میں بحسن وخوبی رواں دواں ہے۔ دریں اثناء گھر کے آنگن میں خفتہ شیر خوار بچہ آواز کے ساتھ رورہا ہے اور اس کے رونے کی وجہ کوئی بیماری نہیں، کوئی اور خار جی عمل نہیں صرف اور صرف لوڈ شیڈنگ کے سبب شدت حرارت ہے جس نے معصوم کی نیند حرام کر دی ہے، اس کی اس بے چینی نے والدین کے قویٰ کومضمحل کر دیا ہے اور پورے گھر میں ایک بحران کی سی کیفیت ہوگئی ہے۔ اور اس قسم کے بحران صرف کسی خاص علاقے میں نہیں ہیں بلکہ ملک کی کثیر آبادی اس سے متاثر ہے۔
برقی رو کی کمی یا قلت سے ہر ایک متاثر ہوتا ہے۔ لائبریری میں کوئی پرسکون فضاء میں محو مطالعہ کتب ہو، یا ظرف ہائے طعام اُٹھائے موجود غلام گردش ہو، کوئی کوچہ بازار میں موجود ہو، یا کوئی گھر کی بالکونی میں قیام پذیر ہو، کوئی صنعتکاری کے میدان سے مربوط ہو، یا کوئی زراعت و کاشتکاری کے میدان سے وابستہ سب کے سب بجلی سے نبردآزما ہیں۔
اس بحران پر قابو پانے کے لیے اقلیم عقل و خرد کی فرمانروائی کے ساتھ نصرت الٰہی کا طلبگار ہونا ہو گا۔ اس مہیب سائے کواجالے میں بدلنے کے لیے ابتدائی طور پر کاشانۂ خویش کو سامنے رکھنا ہو گا۔ اصراف وتبذیر جیسی خصائل قبیحہ سے کنار کشی اختیار کرنی ہوگی ،کفایت شعاری جیسی خصلت صالحہ کو اوڑھنا بچھونا ہوگا۔ اگر ایک شخص فضول خرچی جیسی لعنت سے چھٹکارا حاصل نہ کرے اور دن رات اسی عادت سے وابستہ رہے تووہ بھی اپنے مقصد میں کامیاب نہیں ہو...

غربت کے خاتمہ کے لیے ازواجِ مطہرات کی مساعی

Islam as a religion is not based on empty or futile theories. Infact it intensely educates in altering a practical approach towards ones exixtence both as an individual and or a social being. It is the only religion which lead the way towards welfare/ "Falah" and Qura Calls such people Muflihon. Falah is for both render, either it is a man or a woman. Women especially Holy Prophet's wives are never leave behind in poor's uplift and public welfare. From the very beginning of UMMAHATUL-MOMINEEN (Holy Prophet's wives) are playing vital role in social or public welfare an till in this modern era and patriarchal society, they are role model to help plebians. The Islamic values as the world knows of them today were brought to light through our last messanger (P.B.U.H), assigned with the most important task in probably the most crucial era of human history. With the injustice all over the globe and the leaders of super powers in a rift with each other to dominate the world, exhausted the most important of resouces i.e. The humanity. The divine manifiesto of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and the lives of wives of Holy Prophet was actually based upon justice among masses and the preservation of conflict torn humanity. The intellectual wisdom of Holy Prophet's wives in the given situation was to restore order while restoring justice based upon the reformative rule of law as depicted by the Islamic ideology. The main aim of this very importatnt initiative was to reintroduce the humanity with the most important elements such as humility, mutual respect an retoration of long forgotten code of ethics. The basic foundation of our last Prophet's wives idealogy was to uplift poor whether they are Muslims or not. They successfully ordained the resurfacing, prevalence and practice of the same code of ethics. Now days many of such examples are prevalent in the world, not as a whole yet, though to a certain extent which is holding it together. The war torn and devastated west of the medieval found its solution in applying the same Islamic rule of law in their society in late 17th century and onward. It therefore can be deduced that the same code of ethics, which can be referred to the Quran, the sacred Islamic book, possibly offers the most effective solutions in order to ensure the societal and social development in current era.

Primary Antiretroviral Drug Resistance Profiles Among Hiv-1 Therapy Naïve Patients in Two Referral Hospitals in Kenya

Objective: To characterize antiretroviral drug resistance mutations among drug naïve patients in two referral hospitals in Kenya Background: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused by Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was first described in 1982. Since then the virus has spread globally to infect millions of people. HIV was first described in Kenya in the period between 1984/1985. Currently, Kenya has an estimated HIV-1 prevalence of 6.2% with a country population of about 40 million people. With the introduction of antiretroviral drugs, the survival of most HIV patients has been prolonged markedly. However this is greatly threatened by increasing rates of antiretroviral dug resistance, which may eventually lead to suboptimal treatment outcomes. Methods: The aim of this study was to determine antiretroviral mutation profiles among drug naïve patients in two referral hospitals in Kenya. Antiretroviral naïve HIV patients in Aga Khan University Hospital and Thika Level 5 Hospital were consecutively recruited to participate in the study. Participants with viral loads >1000 copies/millilitre had their samples screened for antiretroviral resistance mutations by genotypic testing. A total of 121 participants were recruited into this study from two centres. Eighty four participants had their samples successfully genotyped for drug resistance mutations. Results: A total of five NRTI mutations (two Y115F, K219Q, K219E, and T215F) and one V106I mutation against NNRTIs were found among participants in this study. One study participant had one protease mutation, M46L. The estimated primary antiretroviral resistance rate against reverse transcriptase inhibitors was 8.7 % (95% CI 4.0-17.7). Resistance against protease inhibitors was found to be low at 1.46% (95% CI 0.26-7.9). The most common viral subtype was A1 at 52%. Others subtypes included D at 17%, subtype C at 13%, viral recombinants (CRF01_AE, CRF02_AG) at 12%, B at 3% and others subtypes (H, J) at 3%. Conclusion: Antiretroviral drug resistance mutations are showing an increasing trend among therapy naïve patients since the introduction of antiretroviral therapy in Kenya in the early 2000. This might affect the efficacy of antiretroviral regimens used for treating HIV patients. Funding: The study was co-funded by the Aga Khan University Research Council Grant (URC Grant Project 102001KEN Under Dr Nancy Okinda) and Aga Khan University Postgraduate Medical Education Seed Funding.
