- PublicationStrategies And Factors Of Explicatures In English-Arabic Subtitles Of The ‘Friends’ Sitcom On Netflix(2024-11)Rahman, Ali Sukayna Abdel Kareem AbdelWatching 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.
- PublicationPerformance Validation Of Nasa-Power Data For Drought Monitoring In The Kelantan River Basin, Malaysia(2024-11)Rosli, Lily Suhana MohamedThe 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.
- PublicationDari Daerah Ke Kerajaan : Sejarah Politik Perlis, 1841-1957(2000)Tang, Julie Su ChinDua objektif tesis ini ialah untuk membina sejarah penubuhan sebuah kerajaan Melayu bernama Perlis dan untuk menggalurkan pertumbuhannya dari sebuah unit politik yang baru di alam politik Melayu yang berjuang bagi hak mengekalkan kewujudannya sehingga sebuah entiti berautonomi di dalam Persekutuan Tanah Melayu. Penemuan-penemuannya menawarkan empat sumbangan utama. Paling penting ia telah mendedahkan satu bahagian di dalam sejarah Malaysia yang paling sedikit dikenali, iaitu sejarah negeri Perlis. Kedua, dalam menggalurkan sejarah Perlis dari permulaannya sebagai sebuah daerah Kedah sehingga menjadi sebuah kerajaan baru pada 1841, tesis ini telah cuba mendedahkan pelbagai ketidaktepatan berkenaan kelahirannya yang wujud dalam pensejarahan setakat ini lalu menetapkan tarikh penubuhannya yang didapati lebih betul dan tepat. Ketiga, dan sehubungan dengan itu, kajian ini telah memperbetulkan beberapa tanggapan umum yang utama berkenaan sejarah Malaysia dan sejarah Kedah. Sedangkan kebanyakan pemberontak berjuang demi menaiki takhta yang ada atau demi melawan British dan Siam dan apabila gagal terpaksa meninggalkan kampung halaman, pemberontak dalam kajian ini, yakni Syed Hussein bin Syed Harun Jamalullail, telah berjuang demi membina sebuah takhta dan wangsa pemerintah yang baru bagi dirinya. Sememangnya ia bukan berjuang semata-mata untuk berdiri di belakang Sultan tetapi untuk mendapatkan kemerdekaan daripadanya.
- PublicationThe Fundamental Arguments For Moral Judgement In Historiography: A Philosophical Analysis(2020-11)Rahim,Mohammad Umair AbdMoral judgement is one of many practice or method of historians in writing history. A philosophical attitude in perceiving the practice of moral judgement in historiography is by questioning the validity of this practice in historical method; whether it should be adopted by historians or not. In light of this, historians since the Early Modern Age have laid down arguments challenging the intellectual foundation of the practice of moral judgement in historiography. Departing from the previous era of Western historiography, the Rankean method which disavowed moral judgement in historiography had become the mainstream historical method. Notwithstanding, not few historians have stood up to defend the practice of moral judgement in historiography with intellectual arguments and justifications. Thus, the discourse on this issue have caused many historians and students of history to face a moral dilemma which is “should historians pass moral judgement in historiography”. Therefore, the primary aim of this thesis is to analyze philosophically the fundamental arguments for moral judgement in historiography. In order to arrive at an objective conclusion, the main arguments against moral judgement in historiography will be explained as well. This thesis finds three fundamental arguments capable of answering the main arguments of those who reject moral judgement in historiography. Firstly is the argument from objective moral truth. Secondly, moral judgement in historiography should be made because it fulfills the ultimate purpose of history.
