Although in the oath of practice of the various health professions it is required that their primary consideration during practice be directed at the health of the patient, the International Code of medical ethics stipulates saving life as the duty of the doctor. In this paper the value of health as against life was examined in the light of professional responsibility. Conceptual analysis of health and value and their moral implications for professional practice was conducted. On the basis of the biology of human development and the theory of the creation of the human being, it was found that whereas health is the dimension of human well-being that ensures life, the value of health lies in the functionality of the individual or the utility of the health of the individual that possesses health and not its exchangeability. When health is considered and seen this way, it means that a sufficient optimum balance of human functioning between external and internal environment is what will be needed to design health policy objectives that can guarantee human well being and position health workers to be seen to be fulfilling their professional oath and calling.

An agronomic trial was conducted with five Napier (Pennisetumpurpureum var.) cultivars including one check ( BLRI Napier- hybrid) collected from Japan and Vietnum at the red soil Madhupur tract of Savar with objectives to investigate and compare the biomass yield, morphological characteristics, botanical fractions, nutritive value and in-sacco dry matter degradability. The selected Napier cultivars were grown under identical condition having plot size of 15 x 15 sq. m with 5 replications in each cultivar. Therefore, a total of 25 plots were made for this agronomical trial and each cultivar was placed in five plots at random. The cultivar response to biomass production performance, chemical composition and nutritional value were analyzed in an ANOVA of a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), while the differences in the rate and extent of the DM degradability in-sacco determined using three cannulated bulls. In addition, an intake trial & digestibility of BLRI Napier-4 with BLRI Napier hybrid (silage) was carried with twelvePabna bull calves having 6 animals in each group. Each group of animal received ad libitum feeding namely Napier Vietnum and Napier hybrid. Data were analyzed for variances in a completely randomized design. Means were separated by the least square difference (LSD). It observed that significant difference (p<0.01) was observed in bio-mass yield among the different Napier cultivars. Biomass yield was in the order of BLRI N.hybrid> MERKERON > BLRI Napier 4 > WRUK-WONA > Napier -Japan. The DM yield, CP yield, no. of tillers and plant height were also significantly differed (p<0.01) among the cultivars. The number of tillers per hill was significantly higher in WRUK-WONA and the lowest in Napier -Japan. The DM content in all cultivars was mostly similar but the DM (t/ha/cut) yield was significantly higher in BLRI Napier hybrid and the lowest in Napier -Japan. Similarly, CP yield (t/ha/cut) was also significantly the highest in MERKERON and the lowest in BLRI N. Hybrid. The CP content was significantly higher (p<0.05) in MERKERON (14.43) and the lowest in BLRI N.hybrid (10.40). The ADF content was higher in BLRI N.hybrid compared to other Napier cultivars. The in-sacco dry matter (DM) degradability of MERK-ERON (78.08%) and WRUK-WONA (74.01) were significantly higher than that of Napier- Japan (57.87%), BLRI Napier hybrid (52.23) and BLRI Napier-4(51.01%), respectively. The greater value of oxalate content was in BLRI Napier-4 (0.82a±.212) and the lower value was in WRUK-WONA (0.111b±.012). The calculated metabolizable energy (ME) (MJ kg/DM) varies from 9.15 to 10.08 among the cultivars. It is mentioned here that the per cent digestibility of DM (47.05 vs50.68) and CP (48.57 vs 53.09) in BLRI Napier hybrid and BLRI Napier-4, respectively. Considering the above parameter, the MERKERON and WRUK-WONA were the best Napier cultivars for further propagation to the farmers.

Agriculture serves as the primary means of subsistence for a significant portion of Pakistan\'s population, as well as in several other nations currently engaged in economic development. The process of establishing a marketing system in Pakistan entails various challenges as well as potential opportunities. The implementation of this solution holds the potential to enhance market accessibility, reduce post-harvest losses, and establish connections between rural farmers and a broader customer base. These various factors collectively contribute to enhancing the overall efficiency of agricultural supply chains. The comprehensive supply chain management (SCM) process encompasses a value chain that recognizes and addresses drawbacks, factors related to value addition, and liability factors. This empowers retailers to effectively manage their supply chain. The research encompasses the methodology employed to analyze both traditional markets and larger outlets. The analysis incorporates the Political, Economic, Social, and Technological dimensions to assess the various factors impacting both markets. The findings indicate that the traditional market offers competitive pricing with occasional price fluctuations. However, larger outlets exhibit various factors that contribute to increased price volatility within the system, necessitating a more robust value supply chain. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that both markets have their own set of advantages and disadvantages.
