Intercellular communication is an integral part of the physiological process in a living organism. Evidence has shown that a significant amount of human protein-coding genes is endowed with the production of membrane and secreted protein types. Some of these proteins possessed post-translational influence that interferes with cellular functions. Recently the concept of cell communication gravitated to the use of membrane-bound particles called Extracellular Vesicles (EVs). EVs are released from the host cell and impact on the recipient cell through its contents (Cargo). The cargo contains various particles such as lipids, proteins, RNA, and glycolipids derived from the host cells. The current widespread research in EVs has brought its mediating role in physiological and pathological processes to limelight. Though the regulatory part of EVs has been widely embraced by researchers, the discrepancy associated with its collection and isolation as well as its analysis has remained a subject of debate in the literature. The facts emanating from the literature suggest that EVs, with its prospective application in Reproductive biology, has prompted extensive research in the last decade. Its knowledge has broadened the scope of understanding the physiology and pathology scenarios involved in reproductive processes. As a potential biomarker, it has become a valuable tool for diagnosis, prognostic, and therapeutic purposes, especially in the context of reproductive processes. However, the challenges of standardizing the isolation, purification, and analyzing EVs have remained a nightmare that need to be surmounted. Emerging evidence has demonstrated its impact in gamete development, fertilization, and embryo implantation. Thus, it could serve as a platform to understand the mechanism of conception and implantation. By extension, define a therapeutic approach for women with recurrent pregnancy loss.

Technological growth and advancement, coupled with the advent and expansion of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, has brought about the invention of products that facilitate and enhance human life. Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning have permeated virtually all sectors of the world and have received both positive and negative feedbacks. Undoubtedly, the human race is yet to keep up with the accelerating expansion of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Artificial Intelligence being a subset of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is packed with enormous benefits which shall be accrued to participating states, and one of these benefits is the Lethal Autonomous Weapons (LAWs) otherwise known as Autonomous Weapons Systems (AWS) or “killer robots”. Since the inception of LAWs, researchers, lawyers, IT experts, and scientists have opposed its adoption, urging the international community to impose strict laws on states utilising it. The invention of AI programmed weapons is not the subject matter of contention, rather, the ground for opposition is the “autonomy” granted to the weapons. These machines can function without human oversight and are programmed to be unpredictable. International Humanitarian Law opposes the use of weapons that pose threats to the civilian population, of which LAWs is inevitably a part of. LAWs defile ethical and legal positions. These weapons are so accurate and swift that they can destroy hundreds of humans in a couple of minutes and countries in possession of these machines could use them without recourse to the victims. This research work investigates the threats and risks posed by Lethal Autonomous Weapons to the Society. It analyses International law provisions in respect to LAWs and feasible measure to curb the use of LAWs across the globe.

Wheat is a common staple crop in Pakistan and it is also a major component of most people's daily diets. Pakistan is ranked eighth in the world for wheat production. The fifth major factor affecting crop yields is a lack of micronutrient availability. A field experiment was carried to determine the impact of foliar application of boron on the productivity of different varieties of wheat at Agronomic Research Farm, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during Rabi season in 2020-21. The crop was sown by hand drill in plots with a net size of 6.5 m × 1.8 m. The experiment was comprised of 12 treatments in randomized complete block factorial design with two factors i.e. V1: Ghazi 2019, V2: Akbar 2019, V3: Anaj 2017, and four boron levels i.e. B0: 0g ha-1, B1: 50g ha-1, B2: 60g ha-1 and B3: 70g ha-1. The source of boron was boric acid which contains 5% B. Significantly the plant height (7.46%), productive tillers (6.01%), spike length (24.18%), number of spikelets per spike (35.53%), number of grains per spike (42.32%), 1000-grain weight (19.44%), grain yield (22.15%), biological yield (24.33%), harvest index (3.63%) increased as compared to control in wheat variety Akbar 2019 where 70 g ha-1 boron was applied at booting, flowering and milking stages. Recommended from observations that 70g ha-1 boron at the booting, flowering and milking stages is helpful for achieving a higher economic yield of wheat.

Advances in fisheries system have been made in the few past years due to different technological progress in the food chain system by improving the mutual communication among different types of organisms. Overfishing, anthropogenic climate change, and pollution are already having measurable impacts on the marine environment throughout the majority of the globe, and their potential long-term repercussions are very concerning. Fishing activity contributes to marine debris; the proportional contribution of recreational fishing has not been quantified. New approaches that are being used in various ways include the precautionary approach, the ecological approach, adaptive management, and harvest control rules. Growth in coastal population has made water and land pollution worse and placed additional pressure on coastal development. Satellite remote sensing has been an essential tool in fishery research, management, and harvesting because it offers synoptic ocean measurements for evaluating environmental influences on the abundance and distribution of fish populations and allows ecological analyses at community and ecosystem scales. Synthetic super-active analogues with higher inducing potency at lower doses were developed using biotechnological techniques including protein engineering and recombinant DNA technology. There are many methods of preservation, including as drying, smoking, freezing, chilling, and brining. Fish that has been smoked or dried has more nutrients and is easier to digest. Fish is often prepared by smoking or drying; both processes eliminate moisture by heating, which reduces the development of germs and increases shelf life. Advances in genetic engineering also helpful for improving the new varieties in the fisheries system.

This article has set out some of the major issues related to the composition of bilingual dictionaries, namely their functional aspect which helps determining the nature of the intended book, either reception-oriented or production oriented, depending on the type of audience to whom this work is to be presented. After that, the notion of equivalence started taking its position as being the central point of this paper. This latter was gradually reflected. That is to say that the analysis began with word class equivalence, and then it developed to deal with those consisting of two or more words (collocations), to arrive after that to those with longer lexical combinations through relying on different ideas and points of view by theorists descending from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds with different ideas and points of view. Most of them went even further to discuss its subtypes, as called by Heming Yong and Jing Peng, or its degrees as proposed by Monia Bayar 2007. This has led to another level of discussion, i.e. the criticism of some ideas that seemed illogical, especially that carried on zero equivalence, categorical correspondence and others. As I proceed, the discussion has moved to another level. That is of enquiring multiple methods and techniques used to provide naturally sound equivalents with respect to the disparities between languages.
