(2025-06)
Khosa, Durdana
This study investigated the graffiti produced by male and female students attending colleges in Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan. The aim of this dissertation was to examine the use of linguistic features in graffiti created by individuals of both genders. The study adapted Lakoff (1975) linguistic features to analyse the language used by both genders in their writings. The aim was to analyse the use of language by males and females in Balochistan and to ascertain whether the language in graffiti was shaped by gender stereotypes or mirrored the socio-cultural context of Balochistan and Pakistan.

Strategies And Factors Of Explicatures In English-Arabic Subtitles Of The ‘Friends’ Sitcom On Netflix
(2024-11)
Rahman, Ali Sukayna Abdel Kareem Abdel
Watching a subtitled work is often regarded as a form of communication between the target audience and the subtitles they read. To ensure this communication achieves its objective, subtitlers need to integrate context into subtitles, ensuring they are sufficiently explicit for viewers and minimizing reliance on literal translation whenever feasible. The present study aims to examine explicatures in the english- arabic subtitles of the sitcom friends on netflix, focusing on their areas, how they are prioritized by the subtitler, the strategies used for their presentation, and the factors behind their rendition. Explicatures can be broadly defined as the pragmatic developments of utterances. In the context of subtitling, they represent the subtitler's efforts to integrate actors' speech with contextual cues to elucidate meaning on the explicit side of utterances. To achieve its objectives, the study draws upon various theoretical frameworks, including relevance theory (rt), huang's typology of explicature areas (2007/2014), bogucki's model for decision-making in subtitling (2020), lomheim's model of subtitling strategies (1999), and klaudy's typology of explicitation categories (1998). These five frameworks interact and complement one another in that the first, rt, serves as the umbrella framework, having introduced the term 'explicature,' which is the central focus of the study. Huang's framework provides the classification of explicatures.
Performance Validation Of Nasa-Power Data For Drought Monitoring In The Kelantan River Basin, Malaysia
(2024-11)
Rosli, Lily Suhana Mohamed
The national aeronautics and space administration prediction of worldwide energy resources (nasa-power) offers long-term meteorological data to support the renewable energy and agricultural sectors. While nasa-power provides an alternative open-source climate data, its effectiveness for drought monitoring in tropical regions is still unclear in the literature. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the capability of nasa-power in estimating precipitation and droughts from 1985 to 2020 in the kelantan river basin (krb), malaysia. To analyse different drought patterns, the standardized precipitation index (spi) and standardized streamflow index (ssi) were applied at 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month time scales. In addition, the mann-kendall test was utilized to measure trends, whereas the sens slope was used to evaluate changes in drought magnitude. Spearman's rho was utilized to explore the relationship between droughts and major atmospheric circulations like el niño-southern oscillation (enso), indian ocean dipole (iod), and madden-julian oscillation (mjo). The findings indicate that nasa-power generally performed satisfactorily in estimating precipitation and temperature across all time scales, particularly on a monthly basis and in northern coastal areas. However, it tended to underestimate minimum and maximum temperatures, as well as precipitation.
