Hence, this research examined the influence of Augmented Reality (AR) on communication patterns, the emergence of specialized AR-related language, and its impact on English language norms. For this purpose, 10 Students from the MA TEFL workshop at Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad, were selected to conduct detailed interviews. Interview data and its content were analyzed linguistically. These students were also teachers, so the data were used both ways. Through linguistic analysis, it was found that Augmented Reality (AR) significantly influences English language communication patterns by notable shifts in vocabulary, syntax, and discourse structures. Integrating AR-specific terms into everyday language among MA TEFL students signifies a transformative impact on linguistic norms, reflecting a deeper entwinement of language and technology. The study's findings recommended that language educators and curriculum developers should actively integrate AR technology and its associated linguistic elements into English language teaching and learning frameworks.

In this paper, the position of blockchain governance within the hierarchy of Institutional governance is discussed. Blockchain governance is analyzed from the perspective of IT governance using Nash equilibrium to predict the outcome of different governance decisions. A payoff matrix for blockchain governance is created and simulation of different strategy profiles is accomplished for computation of all Nash equilibria. The paper elaborates upon payoff matrices for different kinds of blockchain governance, which are used in the proposition of novel mathematical formulae usable to predict the best governance strategy that minimizes the occurrence of a hard fork as well as predicts the behavior of the majority during protocol updates. The paper also includes validati...
