Social and Cultural Mobility in Umrao Jan Ada
No full textTo determine the social status of a person, Sorokin coined the idea of social space. This theme is useful in analyzing the relative position of a person in her/his group and her/his horizontal or vertical movement within and to other groups. Novel is a symbolic space, which makes possible for writers to construct the relative social status of characters. The position given to a character and her/his mobility may be studied in light of Sorokin's ideas. It may help us in understanding the role of economy in achieving the agency implied by the social mobility in Umrao Jan Ada
A Research Overview of the Methodologies Used in Codification of Famous Gharibul Hadith’sBooks (Urdu)
No full textMethodical codification of “Gharibul Hadith” books started during second century. Abu UbaidaMua‘mmar bin Muthanna, an Iraqi scholar, pioneered the field. Afterwards numerous scholars have written books on “Gharibul Hadith” but they followed different methodologies for their compositions. Some of them have written Hadith's disorderly, and then explained all Gharib words appearing in the Hadith. This method appears in most part of their writings. Some of the scholars have observed jurisprudential method for their creations. Others followed methodology of explaining Gharibwords by organizing Hadith's; first from Prophet Muhammad, then from Sahabas (companions of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w), and finally from Taba’een (immediate followers). However, some sorted Hadith in alphabetical order. This research article presented a detailed analytical review of different methodologies adopted in famous“Gharibul Hadith” Books

Intellectual property laws and Islam in Malaysia.
No full textPhDThis study is undertaken on the premise that Islam and Islamic law is to be taken into
serious consideration in any future legislative reform of laws in Malaysia. Islam being
the religion of the country and the strong religious sentiment of the Muslims (who
form the majority in Malaysia) cannot be overlooked or dismissed lightly by the
legislators in Malaysia. Reformation of intellectual property laws is timely, as we are
now approaching to the dateline set by GATF-Trips agreement which aim is to
improve our standard of intellectual property protection. This study seeks to analyze
and evaluate the current legislation pertaining to intellectual property in Malaysia in
terms of the philosophy and rules governing the existence, ownership and exercise of
these rights and their consistency and inconsistency with Islam and Islamic law. The
main objective of this study is to prove that a coherent and logical conceptual
framework of ownership of intellectual property can be derived from an Islamic
perspective which not only offers the basis of rights but also defines the scope of
these rights. From the point of ownership of rights, support can be obtained from the
normative framework of property rights within the traditional classification of 'mal'
(property) and 'haqq al-milkiyyah' (ownership rights) under Islamic law. From the
point of exercise of rights, the exact scope can be defined from the analysis of
fundamental concepts which have been developed by Muslim jurists. It has been
established that Islam and Islamic law offers a sound and systematic paradigm, which
in deeper analysis, can satisfy both our current obligations under international
treatises, as well as our responsibility to practise our religion to the fullest

To Determine the Frequency of Brain Abscess and its Common Bacteria in Patients Presenting with Highly Suspected Clinical Features
No full textObjective: To determine the frequency of brain abscess and its common bacteria in patients presenting with highly suspected clinical features.Material and Methods: It was a Descriptive (cross sectional) Study conducted in the Department of Neur-osurgery Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar. Duration of study was 1 year, from Jan 2011 to Jan 2012. Total number of patients with highly suspected clinical features were 134. CT brain and MRI brain was done for these patients. SPSS version 17 was used for data analysis.Results: Among 134 cases, 93 (63%) were male and 41 (3.60%) were female. Majority 49% (n = 66) were between 21 – 30 years of age. Frequency of brain abscess was revealed in 12.69% (n = 17), common bacteria was Streptococcus Viridians having 41.18% (n = 7) cases, Staphylococcus Aureus 29.41% (n = 5), Bacteriods fragilis was 17.65% (n = 3) and Peptostreptococcus 11.76% (n = 2).Conclusion: The results of the study reveals frequency of brain abscess is still higher in our population while Viridians streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus are most common bacteria

Global energy markets connectedness: evidence from time–frequency domain
No full textWe examine the presence of dependence across 51 energy markets classified into different regions from Jan 2007 to June 2021. In order to examine the presence of dependence across different energy markets, we apply standard and threshold dependence measures proposed by Diebold and Yilmaz, Int J Forecast 28:57-66, (2012) and Baruník and Křehlík, J Financ Econ 16(2):271-296, (2018). We highlight the presence of strong dependence between the energy markets at both regional level and across other regions. European and American energy markets are highly connected within the region over the long-run whereas Asia–Pacific and the African energy markets offer optimal diversification opportunities. Both short- and long-run dependence exists between Chinese and the Hong Kong energy markets and between the US and Canadian energy markets. We also witness substantial increase dependence across all the energy markets during different crisis periods
