Understanding Women's Political Motivations in KP: Unveiling the Driving Forces
This study examines the reasons why women get involved in politics, concentrating on the National Assembly and provincial assembly members of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region. The relevance of family connections, which facilitate women's entry into politics, is revealed via thematic analysis of interview data. Important motivators include persistence, character traits, inspirational leaders, alluring party platforms, and a need for accountability. Women can participate in politics if they are financially independent and have free time. The study expands on earlier research by illuminating the intricate interplay of institutional, cultural, and individual factors influencing women's political involvement. It places a focus on the necessity of addressing gender-related barriers and encouraging educational reforms to provide women with more leadership abilities. For societal change and democratic governance, political decision-making needs to be more gender diverse. The results provide useful information for political parties and authorities looking to create a welcoming environment for women in politics.

The Influence of Reframing on Second Language Learning: A Study in Neurolinguistic Programming
This study explores the impact of reframing, a core technique of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), on second language learning (SLL), focusing on reducing language anxiety and enhancing learner confidence and motivation. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design was applied to a sample of 30 middle school students aged 10 to 15. Participants received a one-week NLP-based training centered on reframing strategies. Data were collected through structured language tasks and psychological surveys and analyzed using SPSS. The results showed significant improvements in learners' confidence, emotional regulation, and participation, along with a notable decrease in anxiety. These findings suggest that reframing positively influences both the emotional and cognitive aspects of language learning. This research highlights the value of incorporating psychologically informed strategies into language teaching, offering practical insights for educators seeking to foster supportive and effective learning environments.
