خان الخلیلی بازار

خان الخلیلی بازار

مسجد حسین کے باہر دالان میں بڑی تعداد میں ریستوران موجود ہیں جہاں کھلی فضا میں سیکڑوں میز اور کرسیاں لگیں تھی ۔چند مصری نوجوان گٹار بجا رہے تھے باقی لوگ محظوظ ہو رہے تھے۔نماز کے وقت موسیقی بند تھی ۔دکتور محمود نے کہا یہ ذہنی ہم آہنگی مصری قوم کا خاصہ ہے وہ ایک دوسرے کو بہ زور نہیں روکتے ۔مذہب اور محبت ہم مصریوں کی گھٹی میں ہے مگر ہم اس کے ذریعے ایک دوسرے کوجنت یا جہنم رسید نہیں کرتے ۔ہم جیو اور جینے دو کے اصولوں پر زندگی گزارتے ہیں ۔محمود کی گفتگو میرے دل میں ترازو ہو رہی تھی ۔میری فکر جیو اور جینے دو کے آفاقی اصول کو پاکستانی معاشرے میں ٹٹول رہی تھی ،مگر میری یہ تلاش بے سود تھی ۔مذہبی دھڑے بندیوں ،قوم پرستی ،لسانی تفاوت ،علاقائی بغض اوپر سے حکمران طبقے کی اس ملک اور عوام کے ساتھ چیرہ دستیوں نے پاکستانی معاشرے سے ان دونوں اصولوں کو ناپید کر دیا ہے ۔ مسافر اس سماجی اور مذہبی تخریب پر اپنی سوچوں میں غلطاں تھا جو نائن الیون کے بعد پاکستانی سماج میں انتہا کو پہنچی کہ اس دوران چہل قدمی کرتے کرتے ہم مسجد حسین سے اچھا خاصا فاصلہ طے کر چکے تھے اچانک دکتور محمود نے کہا کہ ہم خان الخلیلی بازار میں کھڑے ہیں ۔فکری پرواز سے زمینی حقائق کی طرف پلٹے تو اپنے آپ کو ایک تنگ مگر مصروف بازار میں پایا ۔چودھویں صدی کے اواخر میں ترک عثمانی دور میں بننے والے اس بازار کا پرانا نام ’’ترکی بازار تھا ‘‘جو بعد میں خان الخلیل کے نام سے مشہور ہوگیا ۔مجھے اس بازار میں لاہور کی انار کلی اور بنکاک کی نانا سٹریٹ کی شبیہ نظر آئی جہاں ہجوم کی حالت یہ تھی کہ ’’نظر چرا کے...

Strategic Flexibility and its Impact on Raising the Performance of Banks

Strategic issues are the core of the work of business organizations and occupy the main pillar of the work of commercial banks, whose fields of work and their competitive environment have developed. Strategic flexibility has become an urgent and binding issue for the commercial banking sector to keep pace with environmental changes and developments and raise the performance of banks to keep pace with environmental developments. The research aims to delve into two very important variables by doing The commercial banking sector, which is flexibility   The strategy and performance of the banks. Six commercial banks were chosen to be happy with the research (Baghdad, Iraqi investment, Gulf, investment development, Al-Mansour, Babylon). A member of bank managers, people's officials, and accountants in commercial banks. The data were subjected to statistical analysis by applying the statistical program (spss). The results demonstrated an impact on the overall level of the two variables. The study (strategic flexibility, bank performance) The findings revealed the existence of relationships between (banking service flexibility, competitive flexibility, investment flexibility, and human resource flexibility). And bank performance at the sub-dimension level (financial dimension, customer dimension, internal operations dimension, education and growth dimension). The study came to a set of conclusions and suggestions. 

Seroprevalence of Toxoplasmosis, Hematological and Serum Biochemical Profile in Sheep in Multan and Khanewal Districts, Punjab Pakistan .

The present study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis, hematological and serum biochemical changes in sheep naturally infected with Toxoplasma gondii and compared between T. gondii positive and negative sheep in Multan and Khanewal districts, Punjab (Pakistan).Blood samples were collected from 500 sheep and T. gondii antibodies were tested by latex agglutination test (LAT) and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).Information related to hosts and herds were recorded on questionnaire basis such as gender, age of animals, aborted or non-aborted sheep, cats association with herd, method of disposing aborted fetuses and herd size.The overall prevalence of toxoplasmosis in sheep was 33.6% by latex agglutination test (LAT) and 27.4% by ELISA (P-value = 0.033, OR = 1.341, 95 % CI = 1.023, 1.757).The area wise prevalence of toxoplasmosis was 34.02% and 33. 01 % by LAT (P-value = 0.813, OR = 1.031, 95 % CI = 0.802, 1.324) in Multan and Khanewal and 28.12 % and 26.41 % by ELISA (P-value = 0.672, OR = 1.065, 95 % CI = 0.796, 1.424) in Multan and Khanewal respectively.Difference was statistically non-significant (P>0.05).The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis was compared between aborted and non-aborted sheep and according to these results infection rate was 51.66% and 31.10% in aborted and non-aborted sheep by LAT (P-value = 0.002, OR = 1.661, 95 % CI = 1.248, 2.211) and 41.66 % and 26.22% in aborted and non-aborted sheep by ELISA (P-value = 0.013, OR = 1.589, 95 % CI = 1.128, 2.238) respectively.Difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) by both techniques.The relationship between sex of sheep and toxoplasmosis showed that infection was 31.37% and 33.85 % by LAT (P-value = 0.722, OR = 0.927, 95 % CI = 0.605, 1.419) in males and females respectively.Similarly prevalence was 19.6 % and 28.28% by ELISA (P-value = 0.188, OR = 0.693, 95 % CI = 0.390, 1.232) in males and females respectively.The prevalence was higher in females than males and difference was statistically non-significant (P>0.05) by both techniques.The prevalence of T. gondii was compared between different age groups and according to these findings infection rate was higher in age group 60-73 months (64.5% and 38.7%) and lowest in age group 4-17 months (26.4% and 22.4%) by LAT (P-value = 0.001) and ELISA (P-value = 0.404).Difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) by LAT and non-significant (P>0.05) by ELISA.Risk factors associated with prevalence of toxoplasmosis in sheep were also studied and according to these results a large flock size, presence of cats, and the aborted fetuses openly left on ground were all statistically significant (P≤0.05) risk factors that were positively associated with prevalence of toxoplasmosis in sheep flocks.Hematological and serum biochemical parameters were studied between T. gondii positive and negative sheep andaccording to these results mean values of haemoglobin, glucose, cholesterol, AST, ALT and LDH were 9.5 ± 2.6 g/dL, 50.6 ± 11.3 mg/dL, 211.6 ± 79.6 mg/dL, 216.4 ± 144.4 U/L, 79.0 ± 64.1 U/L, 613.9 ± 297.2 U/L in T. gondii positive sheep by LAT and 9.9 ± 3.1 g/dL, 52.3 ± 11.3 mg/dL, 198.5 ± 73.6 mg/dL, 209.44 ± 629.3 U/L, 98.7 ± 228.7 U/L, 578.3 ± 292.9 U/L in T. gondii negative sheep respectively.Similarly mean values of haemoglobin, glucose, cholesterol, AST, ALT and LDH were 9.5 ± 2.5 g/dL, 50.6 ± 11.3 mg/dL, 214.6 ± 79.9 mg/dL, 217.3 ± 140.7 U/L, 77.8 ± 66.4 U/L, 606.8± 291.5 U/L in T. gondii positive sheep by ELISA and 9.9 ± 3.1 g/dL, 52.3 ± 11.2 mg/dL, 198.4± 73.8 mg/dL, 209.6 ± 605.1 U/L, 97.6 ± 219.8 U/L, 583.8 ± 295.7 U/L in T. gondii negative sheep respectively.Hemoglobin, glucose and ALT concentration was lower in T. gondii positive sheep as compared to T. gondii negative sheep.Cholesterol, AST and LDH concentration was higher in T. gondii positive sheep than T. gondii negative sheep.Haemoglobin, Glucose, AST, ALT and LDH values varied statistically non-significantly (P>0.05) between T. gondii positive and negative sheep whereas cholesterol level varied statistically significantly (P<0.05) between T. gondii positive and negative sheep. In conclusion, cholesterol level was found higher in sheep infected with toxoplasmosis which may lead to certain complications including coronary artery diseases, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, hypertension, hemorrhage and vascular thrombosis in infected sheep.T. gondii is a blood parasite which can cause abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, neonatal death in sheep which can lead toward economic losses such as reduction in fur, wool, meat, milk and other dairy products etc. The results indicated the overall high rates of seroprevalence of T. gondii in sheep that warranted the threat to public health especially farmers and abattoir workers via zoonotic transmission of toxoplasmosis.Keeping in view, the medical and veterinary importance of T. gondii it is recommended that human population (especially farmers and abattoir workers), other livestock species and stray cats present in study area must also be screened for the Toxoplasma infection in the public interest.
