CHALLENGING GENDER ROLES: A FEMINIST ANALYSIS OF GHANI KHAN'S THE PATHANS
No full text<p><span>The present research aims to analyse the representation of gender dynamics in Ghani Khan’s <em>The Pathans</em> who is also known as Lewanai </span><span>Phalsafi (The Lunatic Philosopher), <span>is a towering literary figure in Pashto literature. He is commonly known for his poetry and art. Ghani Khan strived to unveil the atrocities of the tribal system and the usurpation of women's rights at the hands of the Pashtoon male-dominant society. Using a feminist theoretical framework and conducting textual analysis, this study endeavours to examine the ways prominent Pashto poet Khan challenges the traditional gender roles of Pashtuns. Specifically, this analysis will focus on the respective representation of masculinity and femininity and the power dynamics, and social norms that define both Pashtun women and Kaftar. The author has used strong female characters, increased the question of masculinity, and created a broader discussion on gender views. Therefore, all aspects of writing are from a feminist perspective. Hence, The Pathans emerges as a dominant text in creating and changing gender roles. The study reveals the ambiguous view of the author on the question of gender roles and shows how these views are expressed through the characters of women and men of Kurdish nationality. The study has shown that Khan’s place of birth strongly influences his views on the distribution of rights and obligations between people of different genders. Khan’s novel focuses on how power relations are pivotal in a particular society. </span></span></p>
Redefining Security: The Shift Towards Non-Traditional Threats and the Imperative of Water Security
No full text<p><em><span>The security paradigm is constantly changing. The world is changing very fast and non-military issues are taking much more importance as compared to military and conventional race. Non-traditional security threats are the challenges to the individual's survival and well-being, such as climate change, food and water security, natural disasters, diseases and irregular migration. Water security has taken a central position in an international forum. Some major international issues such as population growth and pollution are altering the sharing of water reservoirs and agricultural involvement over these resources is becoming a hot issue not only within states but also across borders. Water as a natural resource may contribute to many security risks and threats that may cause a dispute’s intensification. <span> </span>Security is a multidimensional approach that focuses on an individual's welfare and well-being. Improvement of policymaking in water management is also a very important factor for human security at the international level.</span></em></p>
Hate Studies and Course Contents of Noor-ul-Idha/Hadayah and MPhil Islamic Studies at Fatima Jinnah Women University Rawalpindi
No full textHate and Love are eternal, immortal, unchanged and everlasting emotions from the birth of human beings or any alive one. These emotions can be developed, enhanced and eliminated through teaching, manuscripts, family environment, social circumstances, political or religious events and public policies. Manuscripts or literature are the sources which are more effective and long-lasting than the other sources to create, raise, tempt, and fire hateful attitudes. This study investigated the historic phenomenon of hate development and growth among Muslim intra-faith communities in the sub-continent for the last six centuries through the studies of Madrassas’ books especially related to the Fiqh contents titled ‘Hadayah’ and Noor-ul-Aidha’
ADOPTION OF AI IN WARFARE: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN
No full text<p><span><span> </span></span><span>This study investigates how AI has impacted South Asian military strategy, concentrating on nuclear-armed India and Pakistan. The shift from deterrence to AI-driven military operations threatens regional security. The basic objectives of this study were: to explore the nature of arriving AI technology in the modern warfare domain and to assess the ongoing defense tendencies in terms of global alliances of India and Pakistan in the field of AI technology<strong>. </strong>These two countries have been engaging in realistic endeavors and with the militarization of AI, their relationships have deteriorated abruptly. A qualitative method was used to carry out this study in which Interviews with military personnel, policymakers, and other experts were used. It was concluded that it is important to recognize that each interview offers a distinct viewpoint on the role of artificial intelligence in modern warfare. The responses varied in terms of the amount of material provided, the focus on particular relationships, and the acknowledgement of geopolitical problems in the region; yet, there were common themes of global alliances in artificial intelligence. Every response contributed to the existing corpus of information regarding the intricate ramifications of integrating artificial intelligence into contemporary combat, by highlighting present technology advancements, ethical considerations, and possible hindrances. The influence of artificial intelligence on the military dynamics of India and Pakistan is a subject of intense debate, with conflicting opinions on the participation of foreign powers, ethical issues, and the national security of the area.</span></p>
Agricultural Chromium Contaminated Water may Induced Hepatic Toxicity and their Amelioration by Morus nigra Fruit Extract
No full text<p><span>The uneducated farmer does not know the chemical quality of soil and water which is used for irrigation. Sometimes the soil/water may contain some toxic chemicals, which may cause anomalies in their consumers. The present study reveals the histopathological and micrometric changes of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) exposure and their ameliorations upon post-treatment of Morus nigra fruit pulp extract (M). Thirty male mice were equally distributed as control (C) without any treatment, chromium (Cr) and chromium morus (CrM) treated group, were given 50ppm Cr for 10 days in drinking water but the CrM group was additionally given 0.2ml M / 12 hourly for next 5days. Results indicate that Cr exposure leads to pathological signs in the hepatic architecture of hepatic cords and necrosis of the hepatocytes leading to fibrosis. The numbers, mean relative area and CSA of hepatocytes decreased while liver fractional weight, CSA of hepatocytes nuclei, central veins, sinusoidal spaces, and numbers of kupffer cells significantly increased in Cr treated group but there were signs of recovery like the hepatoblastic proliferation and rehabilitation of hepatic cords in CrM treated group. The histological, haematological, and statistically analyzed micrometric data show that post-treatment of M convincingly recovers the hepatic pathologies.</span></p>
Indian Mass Conversions to Christianity: Causes and Sermons
No full textReligions and sociological traditions are something that gives a base to human life. From the beginning, people are using sermons and manuscripts for conversion of individuals or groups to their right way however among the congested multi-religious population of the sub-continent, sermons, preaching, behavior, and manuscripts were the fundamental driver of mass conversions. In this article, the research question is what is the fundamental cause for mass conversions towards Christianity, especially among Dalit and Chura families in the sub-continent i.e., sermons or other social attractions? This chapter analytically investigates some less highlighted parts of conversions to Christianity in the sub-continent regarding various networks of Christian preachers, authorities, and anti-social justice elements that became the cause of the mass conversions of Dalits, Churas, and Madharis communities. It discussed the cases of Dalits ladies’ conversions based on social motivation and people in particular; Begum Balqees Shaykh (the social lobbyist and political pioneer), Rahil Patel Previous Hindu Priest), Pandita Ramabai (the ladies privileges dissident), and Mario Joseph (previous Muslim Imam Suleiman) changed over on profound ties
Agrian-wild Opuntia dillenii Fruit Extract can Ameliorative Cd Induced Hepatic Anomalies

It is completely ignored by farmers and researchers due to its prickly and spiny nature, but its flowers, reddish-purple fruit, and latex have </span><span>potent medicinal values. </span><span>The present research article evaluates the ameliorative role of<em> Opuntia dillenii</em> fruit extract (OFE) against cadmium (Cd) induced hepatic anomalies in mice.<span> </span>Thirty albino mice (<em>Mus musculus</em>) were randomly equally grouped as C; Control, Cd; 50ppm Cd in drinking water for 15 days after followed withdrawal and Cd+OFE; (Cd +<em>Opuntia dillenii</em>) treated as Cd but additionally post-treatment by 0.2ml/12h OFE for next 7 days. Recoveries were made on the 23<sup>rd </sup>day of the experiment, and the liver was separated, weighed, and processed for further histopathological studies. Cd treated has irregular hepatocytes with large nuclei, steatosis and apoptotic cells with debris make constricted sinusoid spaces. There was a significant reduction of the number per unit area and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the hepatocytes with elevated (P<0.05) CSA of the central lobular vein. These pathological signs were convincingly recovered and regenerating hepatoblasts potential was dominant in the Cd+OFE group indicating the rescuing potential. These findings indicate the hepatoprotective role of the <em>O.dillenii</em> fruit extract on the hepatohistopathological changes of Cd exposure indicating their hepatoprotective medicinal importance for similar possible human benefits.</span></p>

Drying characteristics of slot jet reattachment nozzle and comparison with a slot jet nozzle
No full textDue to the character of the original source materials and the nature of batch digitization, quality control issues may be present in this document. Please report any quality issues you encounter to [email protected], referencing the URI of the item.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 109-113).Slot Jet Reattachment (SJR) nozzle is an extension of hics.the Radial Jet Reattachment (RJR) concept used to provide high heat and mass transfer while allowing for the control of flow exerted force on the reattachment surface. The SJR is a slot jet nozzle with a bottom plate attached to it, which is machined to direct exiting flow at a desired angle. The drying characteristics of the SJR nozzle, using air, with four exit angles on a paper sample were studied for three Reynolds numbers, three temperatures and two dry basis initial moisture contents (DBMC). A correlation to predict drying rate and moisture content was also developed. A comparison of the average drying rates showed that the +45[] and +20[] SJR nozzles performed better than the [] and the -1[] SJR nozzles respectively. The effect of increasing exit Reynolds number, temperature, and [] was to decrease the drying time. A comparison of the drying characteristics and net forces of the slot jet and SJR nozzles was also performed under the same flow power and flow exerted surface peak pressure. The same flow power results showed that +45[] and +20[] SJR nozzles performed better than the slot jet nozzle, while the 0[] SJR had drying characteristics similar to the slot jet. The slot jet performed better than the -10[] SJR nozzle. The peak pressure tests showed that -10[], 0[] and +20[] SJR nozzles performed better than the slot jet nozzle and the slot jet nozzle showed lower drying times than only the +45[] SJR nozzle. The force comparison showed that all the SJR nozzles exerted a lower net force on the impingement surface than the slot jet nozzle, under both comparison criteria. called "vision'' was also modified to simulate impingement drying of paper. The numerical results for slot jet and 00 SJR nozzle for two [] and three exit temperatures were then compared to the experimental data for the same flow power experiments. A parametric study was also conducted for 00 SJR nozzle by changing the heat transfer coefficient, exit temperature, and basis weight and thickness of the paper sample
