“…At a higher education level, learners not only learn the concepts but critically evaluate and analyze them to make justified decisions and applications (Spicer et al, 2019). Only getting higher grades and GPAs does not help students in the job market; they fail to justify their knowledge and skills in the new environment (Iqbal & Ahmad, 2015). To develop the abilities and personalities of learners, learners should experience higherorder thinking skills (Hasnoor, Ahmad, & Nordin, 2013).…”

The purpose of this research was twofold; to identify the relationship between critical thinking skills and academic achievement of students and explore the teachers’ perceptions of students’ critical thinking skills in higher education. Both quantitative and qualitative methodologies were adopted to collect data from university students and teachers. A public sector university was involved through purposive sampling to collect data from teachers and students. A test was developed for students based on the literature on critical thinking skills. Academic achievement was measured through the CGPA of students. A total of 800 students appeared in the test. Simple linear regression was applied to map the relationship between students' critical thinking skills and academic achievement. To collect data from teachers, a semi-structured interview protocol was developed in line with the test content. In total, 20 teachers were involved in collecting data. Thematic analysis was carried out to analyze qualitative data. The results of linear regression showed that there was no relationship between critical thinking skills and the academic achievement of students. They mainly reported their teaching methods and strategies. They rated a moderate level of critical thinking skills of their students. These results were contrasted with available research in higher education.

“…S. aureus is responsible for chronic infection while E. coli causes acute infection (Smith and Hogan, 1993). Infections due to staphylococcus cause reduction in milk production, decreases milk quality due to increased somatic cell count in milk and cause further bad effect on milk composition (Bilal and Ahmad, 2004). S. aureus has the ability to produce surface associated products and protein toxins which may be virulent (Haggar et al, 2003;Harraghy et al, 2003) and resultantly increase somatic cell count of milk.…”

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of mastitis on various components including fat percentage, protein, total solids, solid not fat, pH, specific gravity and lactose content in milk of cross-bred (Holstein Friesian × Cholistani) and Sahiwal cattle. A total of 376 milk samples (excluding blind and nonfunctional teats) from 100 cows (50 cross-bred and 50 sahiwal) were collected aseptically. Animals of different ages, parity and stages of lactation were selected under field condition. The diagnosis of subclinical mastitis was done on basis of Surf Field Mastitis Test. For bacterial examination of milk, the samples were grown in laboratory and various biochemical tests were performed. The results of the present study indicated that solid not fat (SNF) of mastitic sahiwal and cross-bred cattle and total solids percentage of normal and mastitic cattle were significantly reduced as the severity of mastitis increased in animals. The milk pH of normal and mastitic cattle including both sahiwal and cross-bred was significantly increased in severe cases of mastitis. The specific gravity of normal and mastitic milk samples showed that there was no significant difference in specific gravity as compared to normal. The protein percentage of normal and mastitic cattle including both sahiwal and cross-bred cattle indicated that protein concentration was significantly reduced in severe cases of mastitic animals. The findings of present study highlighted that mastitis cause major alterations in composition of milk leading to poor quality of the milk.
