deconstructive analysis of the short story, Barrys (2002) three levelsof analysis, i.e., verbal, textual and linguistic,
have been used. It was found that the story has words with contradictory and confusing meaning entrenched in the British values.
Also, the story has a diversion in ideas and grammar. However, no such examples of the third level were found in the story. In short,
the story has words, grammar, and other ideas which give it a loose structure when reading from the perspective of deconstruction,
which lead the researchers to conclude that the work is a fine specimen of the spirit of the Victorian age. ... Read More - Download PDF - View Fulltext |

| Energy Proficient Strategies and Future Challenges in 5G Networks in Pakistan | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | To meet the extraordinary subscribers’ requests in near future, 5G wireless cellular networks are developing. With
the arrival of 5th generation (5G), millions of new Base Stations (BS) and billions of associated gadgets will also
be increased which require the extra power. More power utilization will result in an ascent in the CO2 discharge into the atmosphere,
which may cause various human diseases. To meet the requests of an expanded limit, an enhanced data rate, and a superior nature
of the service of the up-coming generation systems, there is a dire need to embrace energy proficient models, which consume less power.
This manuscript gives an overview of energy proficient strategies and future challenges in 5G networks, which will be helpful for

| Abstract: | Thinking is ideas banking and everyone wants the encashment of his/her thinking. Man desires to get godly powers
through the encashment of his ideas. Some people get power through inheritance while others earn through hard
work. The scholars are of the view that religion and fortune favor some men in committing crimes to reach the crowns, while others
lose their lives. Human history is full of such incidents where sinners become saints through power. Religious and cultural accounts
start preaching and teaching of their nobility. Shakespearean tragedies, in this regard, are highly important where different dramatic
characters and historical figures reached to crowns through committing crimes and these characters can be seen in the present age.

| Abstract: | The Sufi saints, Ulemas and Mashaikhs always had an important place in the history of mankind. These Sufi
saints belong to different tariqas but their basic belief has been same and that is “oneness of Allah”. A tariqa
is a school of thought or a concept for the mystical teaching and spiritual practices with the intention of seeking the ultimate
truth. The history of Moinuddin Chishti, the Sufi saint of Ajmer is much mired in mythology. Therefore, it is often infuriating to
shift fact from friction. Loveable and the legends declare Moinuddin Chishti a great saint, many are curious to know why he is
considered to be so. This paper explores why Moinuddin Chisti is considered greater above all in the Chishti tariqa. In addition
to this, this paper also explores the socio-legal servi ... Read More - Download PDF - View Fulltext |

study takes into consideration various skills, knowledge, and exposure that ESL/EFL teachers need in order to apply communicative
language teaching (CLT) techniques and improve learners linguistic competence. The review of literature brings into light a broad

| Abstract: | In her book Feminist Stylistics, Sara Mills (1995) argues that characters in texts are not simulacra of humans.
They are merely words which represent men and women in accordance with stereotypes that are found in society.

Mills model (1995) at the level of discourse. The aim of the study is to find out whether the representation of male and female
characters in this story is gendered or not. The results of the study show that female characters are represented negatively while the
male characters are represented positively. On the basis of these findings, it is recommended that these representational practices
