In Pakistani academic writing, inappropriate use of Meta-discourse markers which makes writing vague or uncertain, has been observed. The purpose of this study is to compare Meta-discourse markers between articles of journalism and economics composed by Pakistani scholars. An adhock corpora comprises of 40 articles selected from Google search engine 20 from Journalism and 20 from Economics descipline, published in well recognized Journals randomly selected from 2012 to 2020. The frequency of meta-discourse markers based on Ken Hyland model 2005 was extracted while using corpus tools famous software Ant Conc3.5.8. As obtained results showed, the frequency of interactional markers is more in journalism rather than economics. One of the main marker of interactional markers that is Self-mentions have been also more frequently used which shows inappropriateness on part of scholars. On the other hand, interactive markers are more frequently used in economics rather than journalism. Similarly one of the interactive marker that is hedges have been also more frequently used which shows inappropriateness on part of scholars. The study highlights the importance of meta-discourse markers in academic writing and opens new horizon for academicians and researchers that they may focus on the importance of meta-discourse markers because they playa vital role in developing discourse produced by writers in any piece of literature.

However, rice production in Ndop has given opportunities for the local people. It has helped to increase its opportunities for expansion and production with the increasing demand for food as rice serves as a major food worldwide. On the contrary, disease such as running stomach, fungi and others often comes up because ofrice consumption. This write up sets to presents the trend, constrains and opportunities for rice consumption. Though a valuable food, eaten all over the world. Through the descriptive approach with qualitative design as our research method, we were able to put down this data collection. We used techniques such as: interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), observations, life history and iconography. Tools such as interviews guide, Focus Group Discussions guide, observation checklist, and life history guide, amongst others enable us to reach the objective of our research. A total of 24 men and women participated in 04 FGDs conducted in the 04 villages of Ndop. Meanwhile, 50 people were interviewed, 10 from the four villages of Ndop as well as UNVDA workers. A total of 08 life histories with some key informants were piloted. Findings revealed that, rice farming is the major cause of illnesses like fungi, pneumonia and body aches while its consumption at times causes running stomach, diabetes and constipation. According to the Ndop district hospital 2015, 30% of the total number of patient received in the hospital every month had illnesses related to the consumption of rice. However, rice equally brings about solutions to many health problems like the rice stock, used for brushing and treatment of the teeth. Par boiled and unpolished rice controls diabetes.

However, it is imperative to know that on what scales they are managing their budgets. Understanding the impact of selfcontrol, financial literacy, and financial behavior is very vital for living a successful life (Sarstedt et al., 2017). The literature shows, people with good self-control and financial literacy tend to behave well compared to people with less self-control and financial literacy. This study examines the relationship between self-control financial literacy, financial behavior and financial wellbeing. A survey was conducted on 416 people from educational institutions, corporate sectors and food courts in Pakistan to empirically examine the impact of self-control and financial literacy on financial behavior and financial well-being of people. Better self-control and financial literacy lead to greater financial well-being. This research paper concludes that self-control and financial literacy affect financial well-being through financial behavior. Financial literacy has a significant direct impact on financial wellbeing, however the direct impact of self-control on financial well-being is insignificant. Impact of financial behavior on financial well-being is stronger than the impacts of financial literacy and self-control on financial well-being. This paper will be useful for economists and companies in Pakistan to better understand consumer market and to make decisions accordingly.
