The aim of this article is to obtain common fixed point results for generalized contractions involving control functions of two variables in the context of F-metric spaces. We also furnish an example to show the originality of our main result. Some results in the context of F-metric space equipped with a directed graph G are also established. As an application, we discuss the existence of solution to nonlinear neutral differential equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to establish some common fixed point results for generalized contractions including some precise control functions of two variables in the setting of controlled metric spaces. As consequences of our leading results, we derive common fixed point and fixed point results for contractions with control functions of one variable and constants. We also discuss controlled metric spaces endowed with a graph and obtain some common fixed point results in this newly introduced space. As an application of our leading result, we examine the solution of a Fredholm type integral equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to construct a fractal of generalized Θ-Hutchinson Operator with the help of a finite family of Θ-contraction mappings, a class of mappings more general than contractions, defined on a complete metric space. Our results unify, generalize and extend various results in the existing literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to introduce locally α - ζ -multivalued contraction and rational Ćirić type α - ζ -multivalued contraction in the context of F -metric spaces and prove some endpoint results. We provide a nontrivial example to show the authenticity of our main result. Our results generalize some well-known results of literature. We also present some endpoint results in both graphic F -metric spaces and ordered F -metric spaces. As an application of our main result, we investigate the solution of an integral equation.

The purpose of this paper is to utilize complex valued extended b -metric space and obtain common α -fuzzy fixed point theorems under Kannan type contractions. As application, we derive common α -fixed point results for multivalued mappings in the context of complex valued extended b -metric space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current research was planned to determine the antimicrobial, antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activity of fixed oil extracted from stem bark of Acacia stenophylla. Antimicrobial activities were determined by disc-diffusion and macro dilution methods. The results revealed that maximum zone of inhibition (bacteria and fungi) was measured by fixed oil against 12 mm and 5 mm, respectively. :tvlIC values recorded by fixed oil were 0.5 mg/ml, 1.0 mg/ml, 2.0 mg/ml, 4.0 mg/ml and 8.0 mg/ml against different bacterial and fungal strains tested. Acetylcholinesterease and lipooxygenase inhibitory activity were measured by spectrophotometric methods. Fixed oil of Acacia stenophylla inhibited acetylcholinesterase by 247.1 mg/ml (IC50). Similarly, antioxidant potential of fixed oil was measured by two different models, i.e ABTS radical scavenging and ferric reducing/ antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. The reduction in ABTS radical scavenging activity depended on the concentration of the extract. Maximum percent inhibition was shown by fixed oil at 800 μg/ml. In case of ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay, plant sample showed inhibition of 671.3 μg/ml. It is concluded that fixed oil of Acacia stenophylla has strong antimicrobial, enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of carefully chosen editorial cartoons have been critically analyzed to expose the hidden, estimated and intended meaning, which are veiled in the discourse used in editorial cartoons. Its analysis clarifies the ideology and its social relevance to its people. The interpretation, tool, text analysis and social analysis are enough to expose the inequality as in the language among the highly placed over the lowly placed. Thus, the use of language reflects injustice, dominance, power, and inequality. Critical Discourse Analysis has been an extensive discipline from the last few decades to analyze diverse sides of the various current discourses in the society through newspapers, media and movies and so forth. The editorial cartoons in "The times of India" have been analysed to depict the elements of framing and multi-modality in the cartoons in which the relationship of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) with terrorists has been established to foreground the strings among these power sectors in Pakistan.
