Social media has become pervasive, impacting the social and cultural fabric of our society. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, interact and socialize. Therefore, the present study was conducted to find out the effect of social media sources on enhancement of English language learning proficiency at university level. Major objectives of the study were: to find out access of learners regarding use of social media sources for English language learning at university level across gender groups and discipline groups. To compare the views of learners regarding ranking of social media sources for English language skills and competency development at university level across gender groups and discipline groups. To determine the utilization of time regarding the use of social media sources for English language learning proficiency development across gender and discipline groups. To find out the importance regarding different social media sources on EFL learners’ language proficiency at university level across gender groups and discipline groups. To find out the effect of social media sources on enhancement of EFL learning proficiency between gender groups and discipline groups. The study was guided by null hypothesis in order to make appropriate recommendations based on findings of the study. The study was descriptive in nature that is why self-structured questionnaire was used for collection of data from the given sample of population. Population of the study was all the master level students enrolled in session 2015-16 of social sciences and pure sciences in public sector universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and sample size of the present study was eight hundred students of four public sector universities of southern districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Data was collected from the given sample of population and then arranged, coded, analyzed, and tabulated through SPSS version 24. Statistical tools which were used for analysis of collected data were percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent sample t-test, and one way ANOVA post hoc. After the successful completion of analysis findings of the present study clearly revealed that majority of university level mature learners have access to the use various social media sources for English language learning. Similarly, so for as the raking of various social media sources are concerned the findings of the study showed that Facebook is most commonly used social media source among the university level learners of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The findings of the present study also clearly revealed that university level learners utilize most of their leisure time in use of various social media sources and it has positive effect in English language learning proficiency development at university level. Therefore, in light of the findings of this study it is recommended that this research study may be beneficial to English teachers, curriculum developers/reviewers, textbook writers/reviewers, working and perspective teachers to promote standard based education.

حضرت خان بابا دی نذر

حضرت خان بابا ؒدی نذر

تیرے در تے میں بابا آئی کدوں دی کھڑی
پاویں جھات کرم دی آوے دید دی گھڑی
تیرے در توں سوالی کدے جان نہ خالی
میں پکڑ کے جالی بابا کدوں دی کھڑی

توں ایں خواجہ اجمیری دا بوہت پیارا
تونسے والیاں دی اکھیاں دا توں ایں ستارا
میری شوہ وچ کشتی ، نہیوں دسدا کنارا
قبلہ عالم دے پیارے جاوے غم دی گھڑی
تیرے در تے میں بابا آئی کدوں دی کھڑی

ہور کج وی نہ منگاں ، بخشو اپنی غلامی
ایس در تے ای گزرے میری عمر تمامی
تیرے جھاڑو میں دیساں ایہو بھردی میں حامی
تیرا تک کے دوارہ ، در تیرے آ وڑی
تیرے در تے میں بابا آئی کدوں دی کھڑی

جنھاں یادِ خدا وچ ، ساری زندگی گزاری
ناں اونہاں دا لیاں ٹلدے دکھ تے بیماری
سیاں کرن سلاماں ایتھے پیاں وارو واری
جمعرات نوں لگے ایتھے رونق بڑی
تیرے در تے میں بابا آئی کدوں دی کھڑی

تساں قادری سائیںؔ تے وی کرم کمایا
بخش اوہنوں امامت، اوہدا شان ودھایا
خاص کیتی عنایت ، درشن چا کرایا
وسے قادریؔ اُتے انجے رحم دی جھڑی
تیرے در تے میں بابا آئی کدوں دی کھڑی

EFFECTS OF MILD, MODERATE AND INTENSE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON KNEE JOINT PROPRIOCEPTION IN HEALTHY YOUNG ADULTS

Aim: To evaluate the immediate effects of various activity levels on knee joint position sense. Methodology: Sixty males aged between 19 and 24 years, without any complains of discomfort or pain in the knee joint were selected from Bakhtawar Amin Hospital, Multan using convenience sampling, between April 2nd, 2019 to July 28th, 2019. Group A participants walked on the treadmill at a speed of 4 km/h for 5 min (n = 20). Group B participants ran on a treadmill at 6.4 km per hour for five minutes (n = 20). Group C participants sprinted on a treadmill at 8.5 km per hour for five minutes (n = 20). Results: Mean age of the subjects was 21.18±1.77. In the moderate physical activity group, the difference in the means in passive reproduction of the knee flexion angle of 20o observed was 1.40±2.39, (p-value 0.013), and similarly in intense physical activity was 1.75±3.58 (p-value 0.020). For the knee flexion angle of 40o, the difference in the means for moderate was 1.35±1.84 (p=0.002), and for the intense activity was 2.35±2.27 (p=0.012). However, in the group with mild physical activity, the difference in the means was statistically insignificant. Conclusion: The study indicated that physical activities of moderate level and intense level decrease the joint position sense appreciation at the knee joint in less active healthy individuals.

Physical Properties of Apd3o4 A=Ca, Sr, T1 and Cd Type Palladates: An Ab-Initio Study

Inthis thesis DFT andPost-DFT techniquesare usedto explore electronic, magnetic,mechanical,elastic,opticalandthermoelectricpropertiesofAPd3O4 (A = Ca, Sr, Cd and Tl) palladates. The electronic nature of these palladates are evaluated by using various theoretical models i.e LDA, GGA, GGA+U,TB-mBJandGGA+SOC.Thecalculatedelectronicbandstructure ofthesecompoundsCaPd3O4,SrPd3O4,CdPd3O4 andTlPd3O4 showthat CdPd3O4 ismetallicandCaPd3O4,SrPd3O4 andTlPd3O4 aresemiconductors. The band gaps of CaPd3O4, SrPd3O4 and TlPd3O4 are 0.12 eV , 0.10 eVand1.10eV ,respectively. Thecalculatedmechanicalpropertiesconfirm that these compounds are mechanically stable, elastically anisotropic and ductile in nature. The calculated optical properties reveal that CaPd3O4 and SrPd3O4 are active in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum and TlPd3O4 is indirect band gap material and hence it is optically not active. Due to the small energy gaps and dense electronic states of these compounds around Fermi level, they seem to be good thermoelectric materials. Hence their thermoelectric properties are also evaluated by using the Boltzmann transport theory. The thermoelectric properties show that CaPd3O4 has the maximum value of the Seebeck coefficient in comparison with SrPd3O4 and TlPd3O4 for the given temperature range. The calculated results are found in close agreement with the available experimental results in literature. The density functional theory (DFT) and post-DFT calculations reveal the non-magnetic nature of these palladates.
