Project-based learning as a catalyst for 21st-Century skills and student engagement in the math classroom.

Along with traditional academic knowledge, 21st-century skills are crucial for equipping students with a competitive future. Project-based learning (PBL) cultivates these competencies among learners as an instructional approach. This research aimed to construct and analyze a PBL framework designed to weave 21st-century skills into high school education.

Stance of numerous leadership styles and their effect on teaching to sustain academic performance at the high school level.

The present study focused on three leadership, autocratic, democratic, and Laissez-faire, to sustain high school academic performance. To accomplish this, we used quantitative survey method and employed convenient sampling technique to collect data from 358 high school teachers/educators in various regions of Multan, Punjab, Pakistan. Data collection consisted of administering a survey questionnaire that used a five-point Likert Scale.

Study of class 1 integrons and plasmid profile among multiple drug resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

The emergence of multidrug resistance in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is associated with the presence of drug resistant plasmids and integrons which facilitate horizontal gene transfer which impose serious challenges in patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs). The proposed research study is designed to determine emerging antibiotic resistance trends and the presence of plasmids and class 1 integron in UPEC. A total 74 strains of urinary pathogens were procured among them 50 UPEC isolates were selected and their antibiotic resistance pattern was performed by CLSI guidelines.

Phylogenetic Group B2 Expressed Significant Biofilm Formation among Drug Resistant Uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Biofilm is an important virulent marker attributed to the development of urinary tract infections (UTIs) by uropathogenic (UPEC). Drug-resistant and biofilm-producing UPEC are highly problematic causing catheter-associated or recurrent UTIs with significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence of biofilm formation and phylogenetic groups in drug-resistant UPEC to predict their ability to cause disease.
