Islam considers those as Muslims who submit to the will of Allah Almighty in all aspects of life. Islam is not merely a matter of private life and its worship system is not restricted only to a set of rituals, but has pervasive social consequences and develops a strong sense of moral society based on system of rules around center of universal concept of justice. Therefore, Islam proposed institutions with relation to justice, governance, cooperation and solidarity for achieving high economic growth and development. Achievement of development and growth of economy is fast in a society or country if it has developed human capital (human resource). Human capital is developed when education is imparted and facilities of health and sound life are provided to human beings. According to Islamic principles, if human beings cannot afford proper education in the society (or other facilities suc...

In endemic regions, fascioliasis represents a huge problem in livestock production and significantly threatens public health. The present study was performed to assess the key bibliometric indicators, plot the global research outcome, and strive to find the research frontiers and trends in fascioliasis. Methods: A descriptive bibliometric and visualized study was conducted. The data were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. The WoSCC was searched using key terms covering a wide range of synonyms related to the causative agent (Fasciola) and the disease (fascioliasis). The database search was performed for the period from the inception of WoSCC until 3 October 2021. The downloaded data were exported into VOSviewer software version 1.6.17 for Windows to construct co-authorship countries, keywords co-occurrence, bibliographic coupling sources, a...

Methods : For extraction, microwave oven assisted method was used. TPC was determined by following the Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method and TFC was determined using aluminium chloride colorimetric assay. Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH-scavenging assay methods. Results: All the ferns exhibited good results of TPC, TFC and antioxidant activity. SPF showed highest TPC and TFC in aqueous extracts; 639.4 mg/g and 172.71 mg/g respectively, and the same result showed in ethanol extracts; 271.61 mg/g and 174.54 mg/g, re...

Autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant inheritance have been reported, but most cases are autosomal recessive.4-8

Computers have some advantages over human beings because of their immunity toward perturbation factors. These factors include fatigue, stress and diminished attention. This ability makes computers more efficient and reliable in decision making. The real goal of AI is to computerize human intelligence. In this paper we explored “Expert Systems” that is one of the most important branches of AI. In expert systems, we simulate expertise of domain experts in computer systems. Machines can work like doctors, engineers and consultants and can be able to learn and use their judgmental power to conclude the situations. In academia, many subjects are being offering in every degree programs. A course coordinator is an expert who allot related subject to instructors by using some factual and heuristic knowledge. The real task is to simulate the judgment ability tha...

Average surgery time was 45 minutes under local anesthesia (LA). All patients whose surgery was performed in general anesthesia (GA), had at least 6 hours hospital stay andfour hours nothing by mouth before and after procedure. Patient age, gender, indication for surgery, type of surgery performed and type of anesthesia were noted. Datawas analyzed by using SPSS 25.Results: Total 203 patients were included in study, 122 (60.1%) male and 81 (39.9%) females. Generalanesthesia (GA) was used in 18.2% surgeries and local anesthesia (LA) was opted in 81.8%. Mean age ofpatients who underwent GA was 30.62 years and 51.71 years for LA. Three major indications for LA were retinalattachme...

The review of the labour market demonstrates the need of enhancement of skills as well as improved access to skills and education which are necessary to enter a virtuous circle of higher productivity, employment, incomes growth, and development. Without a workforce that is continuously acquiring new and improved skills, it will be difficult for Pakistan to be competitive in the globalising world. The analysis clearly emphasises the need for reforms in the technical and vocational education and training system. Keywords: Skills, Productivity, Labour Market, Competitiveness

Approximately one-third of patients with epilepsy have seizures that are resistant to antiepileptic medications. Clinical trials for the treatment of medically refractory epilepsy have mostly focused on new drug treatments, and result in a significant portion of subjects whose seizures remain refractory to medication. The off-label use of cannabis sativa plant in treating seizures is known since ancient times. The active ingredients of this plant are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), the latter considered safer and more effective in treating seizures, and with less adverse psychotropic effects. Clinical trials prior to two years ago have shown little to no significant effects of cannabis in reducing seizures. These trials seem to be underpowered, with a sample size less than 15. In contrast, more recent studies that have inc...
