Prof Aziz-us-Samad

Born in Jabalpur CP India in 1924, he did his senior Cambridge from Christ Church

School, graduation from City College Jabalpur and masters in English literature and

philosophy from Robatson College affiliated with Nagpur University.

He taught for some time at Islamia College Karachi and then came to Peshawar and

joined Edwards College, Peshawar in 1952. He switched over to Islamia College,

Peshawar in 1954 while he joined English Department at the University of Peshawar in

1956.

Of all the teachers of great literary acumen, Prof Samad was a different species of human

being. He was a ‘perpetual fountain’ of inspiration for numerous young students. He

shaped lives of many to see beneath the surface. He was so conscious of the society’s

philistinism that he would often satirise it in his lectures.

“A day will come when our art of painting, singing and poetry will be reduced only to

calligraphy, qawali and composing of Naat (religious hymns),” he used to say.

Sumaira Samad(Daughter) said that her father was like a beautiful tree -- protecting and

nourishing. “What he taught me and I cherish most in myself are his gifts to me. As a

teacher his lectures on novel and literary criticism have left indelible impression on me,”

she added.

Senator Afrasiab Khattak said that he felt proud to have been a student of Prof Samad in

1971-73. His encyclopedic knowledge, brilliant eloquence and sharp focus would keep

the class spell bound, he added.

“I have the honour of being Samad Sahib’s student in 1970-72 and remained in regular

contact with him for the next 20 odd years when I taught at Islamia College. Samad Sahib

was a born teacher and loved being in class with his students,” former teacher of Islamia

College Prof Malak Naz recalled.

Book of the Month

The partition of India, 1947, some call it vivisection as Gandhi had, has

without doubt been the most wounding trauma of the twentieth century.

It has seared the psyche of four plus generations of this subcontinent.

Why did this partition take place at all? Who was/is responsible --

Jinnah? The Congress party? Or the British? Jaswant Singh attempts to

find an answer, his answer, for there can perhaps not be a definitive

answer, yet the author searches. Jinnah's political journey began as "an

ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity" (Gopal Krishna Gokhale), yet

ended with his becoming the "sole spokesman’ “of Muslims in India;

the creator of Pakistan, The Quaid-e-Azzam: How and why did this transformation take place? No

Indian or Pakistani politician/Member of Parliament has ventured an analytical, political biography

of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, about whom views necessarily get divided as being

either Hagiographical or additional demonology. The book attempts an objective evaluation.

Jaswant Singh's experience as a minister responsible for the conduct of India's foreign policy,

managing the country's defence (concurrently), had been uniformly challenging (Lahore Peace

process; betrayed at Kargil; Kandahar; the Agra Peace Summit; the attack on Jammu and Kashmir

Assembly and the Indian Parliament; coercive diplomacy of 2002; the peace overtures reinitiated

in April 2003).He asks where and when did this questionable thesis of 'Muslims as a separate

nation' first originate and lead the Indian sub-continent to? And where did it drag Pakistan to? Why

then a Bangladesh? Also what now of Pakistan? Where is it headed? This book is special; it stands

apart, for it is authored by a practitioner of policy, an innovator of policies in search of definitive

answers. Those burning 'whys' of the last sixty-two years, which bedevil us still. Jaswant Singh

believes that for the return of lasting peace in South Asia there is no alternative but to first

understand what made it 'abandon' us in the first place. Until we do that, a minimum, a must, we

will never be able to persuade peace to return.

CONTROL STRATEGIES OF HEPATITIS B WITH THREE CONTROL

In this paper, we present a compartmental mathematical model of hepatitis B virus with optimal

control strategies. First, we formulate the model applying the optimal control techniques which

use control variables in the form of isolation, educational campaign and vaccination. We derive

the conditions under which it is optimal to eradicate the disease and examine the impact of possible

vaccination treatment strategies on disease transmission. When such an elimination is impossible,

we use the techniques of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle to derive the necessary conditions for

the optimal control problem. The numerical results show that some effective vaccination and

control can reduce the disease spread in the community.

Abstract

The present paper describes the dynamics of the Pine Wilt disease with variable population size.

The basic mathematical results for the model are presented. The stability analysis of both the

disease-free and endemic cases are presented whenever R 0 R0 lesser or greater than one,

respectively. Further, an optimal control problem is formulated and the necessarily involved results

are presented. Moreover, the numerical simulation of the optimal control problem with suggested

control strategies for the possible eliminations of the infection in the pine trees population is

presented.

The Awareness and Impact of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) on Climate

Change in Malaysia

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the level of public awareness and perception regarding carbon

capture and storage (CCS) and climate change in Malaysia. The article also aims to identify those

social, economic and environmental issues which affect CCS and combating climate change in the

country. The findings revealed that more than 79 percent of the respondents were willing to have

government initiatives to implement CCS projects. However, about 21 percent were against these

initiatives due to their different perceptions and opinions regarding CCS. By using partial least

squares (PLS) model through SmartPLS 2.0, it is found that social and economic issues of CCS

have significant positive while environmental issues have no significant impact on combating

climate change. The findings offer significant implications for regulators, policy makers, and

practitioners regarding social, economic and environmental issues of CCS and climate change in

Malaysia.
