مصر، معیشت اور مطلق العنانیت

مصر ،معیشت اور مطلق العنانیت

میں اور دکتور محمود قاہرہ یونیورسٹی سے کبری الجامعہ کی طرف گامزن تھے کہ سڑک کے کنارے ایک ادھیڑ عمر کا آدمی دیکھا جس کا چہرہ غربت اور معاشی بد حالی کا منہ بولتا ثبوت تھا ۔ موصوف سڑک پر جھاڑو لگا رہا تھا اور بہت سارا کچرا اس کے ناتواں ہاتھوں سے زیادہ کمزور تیلی دار جھاڑو سے اس طرح واپس نکل رہا تھا جس طرح ارنسٹ ہمینگوے کے ناول ’’اولڈ مین اینڈ سی ‘‘ کے مرکزی کردار مچھیرے کے سمندر میں پھینکے ہوئے جال سے نکلتا ہوا پانی ۔میں نے  دکتور محمود کو کہا تمھاری حکومت اس آدمی کو جتنی تنخواہ دے رہی ہے اس میں ایسے ہی کام کی گنجائش نکلتی ہے ۔ مصر کی معاشی حالت اور یہاں کے مزدور کی اوقات کی تلخی کو مدِ نظر رکھ کر میں نے پوچھا کہ تمھارے حکمران بھی تو ساٹھ عشرے میں اشتراکی تھے ، جواب دیا جی بالکل ۔اس نے کہا روس سے مراسم ہی کی وجہ سے یہا ں پر پین عرب ازم اور مصری تہذیب کو زیادہ اجاگر کیا جاتا رہا ہے ۔میں نے کہا شاید اس لیے یہاں کے چوراہوں پر ابوالہول براجمان ہے اور پوری مصری قوم اس آس پر بیٹھی ہے کہ پنجوں پر کھڑا ابوالہول ایک نہ ایک دن اٹھے گا اور مصر ترقی کی شاہرہ پر گامزن ہو گا اور صرف یہ نہیں بلکہ مصریوں کے بیٹوں کو قتل کر نے والے رعمسیس کے نام پر ایک بڑی شاہرہ اور چوک کے نام بھی قاہرہ شہر میں رکھے گئے ۔ دکتور محمود مصر کے سیاسی حالات سے گفتگو کو موڑتے ہوئے مجھ سے پوچھتے ہیں کہ اشتراکیوں کی زندگی کیسے گزرتی ہے ۔میں نے کہا آئیڈیل کی تلاش میں گھٹ گھٹ کر ۔میں نے بات پھر مصر کی طرف...

The Issue of Human Cloning: A Review in Semitic Religions’ Context

Human cloning has emerged as a new and innovative technology in the reproductive and therapeutic science in the recent past. So far it has not been practiced over human beings but owing to its huge potential and possible scope, it has attracted the attention of not only the masses (particularly the infertile couples and LGBTQs etc) but the other stakeholders including the religious scholars from worlds’ prominent religions have given their views on this technology in order to guide their followers. This paper examines and reviews the religious points of view on human cloning. For this purpose, three Semitic religions in the world i-e Judaism, Christianity, and Islām have been examined. As far as Islam is concerned, this portion has been divided into two broad sections elaborating the Shī‘ah and Sunnī schools’ opinions. Being an innovative topic, the religious teachings do not address it directly hence the injunctions related to the reproduction are most relevant to it. Three Semitic religions have been examined from the perspective of admissibility or non-admissibility of human cloning, the rationale behind the verdict on human cloning and the possible solutions to the issues and problems faced by the followers in the case of acceptance or rejection of this biomedical technology. Most of the religions emphasize over adaptability of the natural mode of reproduction only, where male and female genders contribute to the reproductive cycle. The Semitic religions reject the reproductive cloning generally. The religious experts need to conduct more focused and updated research before coming to any conclusion about the permissibility or non-permissibility of this technique.

Digital Technology and its Impact on Library and Information Services and Resources in the Public Sector Universities of Pakistan

This research project is a case study of the public sector university libraries in Pakistan. This thesis investigates and documents the impact of digital technology on library and information services and resources in the public sector universities of the country. All 73 public sector universities in Pakistan have been covered. Questionnaires, interviews, observation, web analyses and documentary sources of information were the major data collection techniques. The findings of the study reveal that the implementations of emerging library technologies have positive impact on library services and resources in the public sector universities in Pakistan. It was pinpointed that inadequate funding for library automation, lack of skilled library professionals, lack of user education programs on emerging library technologies, frequent power failure are the major barriers to the implementation of latest technologies in university libraries of the country. The findings also reflect that public sector university libraries of Islamabad and Punjab are far ahead in modernization of library services and resources as compared with Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir& Northern Areas. Recommendations are given at the end. Among other things, it is suggested that separate budget for automation and digitization, recruitment of IT skilled human resources, supply of powerful generators/ UPS, provision of latest hardware and standardized library software, revision of LIS curriculum, systematic planning for modernization of university libraries, digitization of library own publications, provision of high bandwidth of internet speed connections , effective periodic training for library professionals and continuing user education on modern library trends for library users are the tools which can be used for the improvement of modern library culture in the universities of Pakistan .
