Advocacy Under Islam and Common Law

This Article shows that both Anglo-American and Islamic legal traditions have been highly sophisticated in supporting advocacy as a doctrine of justice. And both traditions must save this doctrine from distortions that have corroded the doctrine\u27s normative foundation. This comparative study will hopefully provide insights into jurisprudential recesses of each tradition. It might also inform lawyers, judges, and academics of the two traditions, possibly generating mutual respect and learning

Association of Maternal Hypertension with Intrauterine Growth Retardation

To find out the association of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) with maternal hypertension.Methods: In this case control study 124 cases and 249 controls (thus giving the case to control ratio of 1:2.) were enrolled. All were born full term and delivered in obstetrics department . After taking verbal consent for the study the mothers were interviewed for the presence or absence of hypertension during pregnancy and their antenatal records checked (if available). To rule out the confounders, a study proforma was used to record maternal hypertension, maternal height, weight, BMI, age, anemia, socioeconomic status, preeclampsia, eclampsia, number of children, age of last born, gender, mode and date of delivery. Cases and controls were identified and assigned an identification number. All the study cases were seen by the pediatrician on the first day of life, weighed properly, their length and head circumference noted and plotted on centile charts in accordance with their gender to note the presence or absence of intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR). A p-value of 0.05 or less was used to see the significance of the association.Results: Mothers of small for gestational age (SGA) babies were more than two times likely to have hypertension. Both low maternal BMI and Anemia in mother were significantly associated with IUGR in both univariate and multivariate analysis. Socioeconomic condition was also showing significant association with IUGR. Other factors like gravidity, maternal age, parity were not showing any association with IUGR.Conclusion: Maternal anemia and low BMI are showing strong association with IUGR while maternal hypertension is not showing a strong associatio

The Impact of Corona Virus (Covid-19) on E-Business in Pakistan.

This study documents the impact of Covid-19 on the E-Business in Pakistan.COVID-19 has a significant influence on public health and induces hasty changes in way of life, social distancing and home alienation, with social and economic implications. This indicates the socioeconomic expansion in the country has deteriorated. It's now messed up all sorts of industry on a global scale including the e-commerce sector. Big retailers had their stores turned off temporarily. In addition, due to declining footfalls, medium-sized and small- sized retailers are battling the situation. For fact, online companies are not off the list as well. Pakistan is also heavily impacted by them. Several e-commerce firms depend on China for most of their goods. In China, lockdown restrictions drastically decreased the production of goods, Thus it is expected to have a big impact on the Pakistan online sector, in particular Chinese goods. Primary research through a sample survey analysis is executed to boost outcomes.The result shows that because China is the biggest producer and the largest number of industries are locked. That’s why all the shipping processes which have hampered domestic economic growth are hindered by the influence of corona viruses

A New S-2 Control Chart Using Multiple Dependent State Repetitive Sampling

The combined application of multiple dependent state sampling and the repetitive group sampling (RGS) is an efficient sampling scheme for industrial process monitoring as it combines the advantages of both the sampling schemes. In this paper, a new variance control chart has been proposed, when the interesting quality characteristic follows the normal distribution using the combination of these two efficient sampling schemes called multiple dependent state repetitive sampling. The control chart coefficients and parameters have been estimated through simulation for the in-control process by considering the target in-control average run lengths under different process settings. The efficiency of the proposed chart has been determined by computing the out-of-control ARL for different shift levels. The advantages of the proposed monitoring scheme have been discussed and compared with the existing RGS scheme and the single sampling scheme. A simulated example and a real industrial data have been included to demonstrate the application of the proposed monitoring scheme. It has been observed that the proposed chart is a valuable addition to the toolkit of the quality monitoring personnel.11Ysciescopu

Bonded amalgam as a fissure sealant in low-income setting: A randomised controlled trial

Objectives: To compare one year retention rate of bonded amalgam sealants (BAS) with that of conventional resin-based sealant (RBS). Methods: It was a parallel group, equivalence, randomised controlled trial done during March 2018 to December 2019 at the dental clinics of Dow University of Health Sciences, and the Jinnah Sind Medical University, Karachi, Pakistan on children aged 12-16 years, who were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups (BAS vs. RBS). Complete retention of the sealant at one year follow-up was labeled as success. Multi-level mixed effect logistic regression model was employed. Study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov # NCT NCT03130725. Results: There were 137 teeth (23 subjects) in the BAS and 128 teeth (15 subjects) in the RBS group that were evaluated for sealant retention at 12 months follow-up. Among the BAS group, 100/137 (73%) sealants were completely retained whereas 110/128 (86%) were fully retained in the RBS group. Nearly, 22/137 (16%) BAS and 10/128 (7.8%) RBS were completely dislodged. In multivariable analysis, subject age \u3e15 years and male gender were found to be significantly associated with the dislodgement of sealants. Conclusions: At 12 months follow-up, the retention of bonded amalgam sealant (BAS) was significantly lower than that of the resin-based sealant (RBS)

Analysis of dual solution for MHD flow of Williamson fluid with slippage

This study investigates the numerical solutions of MHD boundary layer and heat transfer of the Williamson fluid flow on the exponentially vertical shrinking sheet, having variable thickness and thermal conductivity under effects of the velocity and thermal slip parameters. It is also assumed that shrinking/stretching velocity, as well as the wall temperature, has the exponential function form. In this study, the continuity, momentum and energy equations with buoyancy parameter and Hartmann number are incorporated especially in the Williamson fluid flow case. Similarity transformation variables have been employed to formulate the ordinary differential equations (ODEs) from partial differential equations (PDEs). The resultant ODEs are solved by shooting method with Runge Kutta of fourth order method in Maple software. The effects of the different applied non-dimensional physical parameters on the boundary layer and heat transfer flow problems are presented in graphs. The effects of Williamson parameter, Prandtl number, and slip parameters on velocity and temperature profiles have been thoroughly demonstrated and discussed. The numerical results show that the buoyancy force and the slip parameters contribute to the occurrence of the dual solutions on the boundary layer and heat transfer flow problems. Furthermore, the stability analysis suggests that the first solution is stable and physically possible

Mathematical analysis of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of micropolar nanofluid under buoyancy effects past a vertical shrinking surface: dual solutions

In this paper, we explore dual solutions of MHD flow, heat and mass transfer of micropolar nanofluid over a linear vertical shrinking surface with buoyancy effects, which was not considered in the previous works. The governing fluid flow equations of this problem are transformed into nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs) of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by applying similarity variables. The resultant BVPs are converted into initial value problems (IVPs) by using shooting method which then resolved by employing Runge Kutta of order four. The impacts of the governing parameters, such as suction parameter, material parameter, Richardson number, magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters on velocity, angular velocity, temperature, and concentration are illustrated graphically. The results indicate that the existence of a range of dual solutions and no-solutions. When Richardson number (delta) is increased, the reduction of the velocity of micropolar nanofluid has occurred in the second solution. The stability analysis on dual solutions, however, reveals that only the first solution is stable
