This research work is aimed at studying how frequently gendered language is used; how far its usage is recognized, and how far the speakers perceive their ideologies to be influenced by the usage of such language in the sampled population in Chiniot and Faisalabad. This research work extracts its theoretical framework from Michele Foucault’s concept of regulatory power exercised through language (1974), and applies it to gendered language used in Pakistani society. It tries to investigate how gender biased clichés commonly used in Urdu promote and perpetuate women presence as greedy, silly, sentimental and emotional beings. A thirty item questionnaire has been administered to sampled population of 40 students. The data has been analyzed with the help of SPSS (Version 17) by using descriptive statistics. To find how common the statements are, how far are they understood by the users to be gender biased, or can the users find out or quantify the influence of such statements on their minds; frequencies, mean values and sums of responses have been calculated. The results reveal that usage of such statements is quite frequent, and the users also realize that the statements are gendered. However, the results for the third question: how far they think that their ideology is being influenced by such gendered statements, are surprising. A great number of students believe that they are not influenced by such statements, then the question arises how such statements can be so prevalent in any society, if they are not well accepted. The research implies that this area of discourse analysis needs to be properly explored, such statements should be pointed out, and their compromising impacts on thinking process of masses, particularly of young learners, must be studied.

This study examines the nature of the teacher-student relationship and its possible effect on student achievement at undergraduate level. The basic purpose of this research paper was to analyze the factors influencing teacher student interaction at undergraduate level and the perception of teachers about effects of positive and negative interaction. For this study, qualitative method was used with close ended questionnaire. The data was analyzed using through excel graphs or statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS). This research was consisted 10 teachers and 20 students of department of English at Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan and these make a sample of population. The focus on teacher-student interaction is important in the teaching process. The results show that teacher-student should know about the art of communication which involves cultural knowledge, needs of student, importance of a conducive environment that helps their learning styles. Teacher should also solve the problems of the students. The objective of this study is to analyze teacher-student interaction with respect to student’s achievement. Keywords: Behavior, Interaction, Learning, Students’ achievement.

Biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance pose significant challenges not only in clinical settings (i.e., implant-associated infections, endocarditis, and urinary tract infections) but also in industrial settings and in the environment, where the spreading of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is on the rise. Indeed, developing effective strategies to prevent biofilm formation and treat infections will be one of the major global challenges in the next few years. As traditional pharmacological treatments are becoming inadequate to curb this problem, a constant commitment to the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies is necessary. Light-triggered therapies have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional approaches due to their non-invasive nature, precise spatial and temporal control, and potential multifunctional properties. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the different biofilm formation stages and the molecular mechanism of biofilm disruption, with a major focus on the quorum sensing machinery. Moreover, we highlight the principal guidelines for the development of light-responsive materials and photosensitive compounds. The synergistic effects of combining light-triggered therapies with conventional treatments are also discussed. Through elegant molecular and material design solutions, remarkable results have been achieved in the fight against biofilm formation and antibacterial resistance. However, further research and development in this field are essential to optimize therapeutic strategies and translate them into clinical and industrial applications, ultimately addressing the global challenges posed by biofilm and antimicrobial resistance.
