Importance of Verbal Text in The Interpretation of Political Cartoons The combination of verbal and visual text plays an important role in conveying message and leaving strong impact on the minds of the people. Teachers, Media, advertising agencies etc are using this strategy to influence people and to endorse their ideas or products. It is also observed that sometimes verbal language dominates and visuals are used just to support the idea or at other instances visuals dominate and language is used just to enhance the meaning or to make it obvious. Language (verbal text) and visuals are thus influenced by each other. Language or visuals when used alone have their effect but the combination of both in communication can make it more influential or impactful. The combination of strong verbal and eye- catching visuals can thus lead to everlasting impact on the minds of the people. This research work focuses on the combination of these forms of communication in newspaper political cartoons. The political cartoons is a form of art and the name suggests that it is form of communication in which visuals are of great importance thus captions are optional or are added just to support the idea. This research aims at highlighting the importance of verbal text in the interpretation of political cartoons. Moreover, it also takes into account the combined effect of verbal and visuals in political cartoons. The collected data and its analysis has proved that the captions or verbal text is an important part of newspaper political cartoons in order to convey particular meaning and in the absence of verbal text the readers can interpret the visual text of the cartoons in varied ways. The political cartoons are drawn with reference to particular issues or events thus the addition of verbal text becomes essential to convey the desired meaning.

مولانا سعید احمد اکبر آبادی

مولانا سعید احمد اکبر آبادی کی رحلت
(ڈاکٹر محمد اسلم)
علم و حکمت کا وہ آفتاب جو گذشتہ نصف صدی سے برصغیر پاک و ہند کو منور کررہا تھا، مورخہ ۲۴؍ مئی مطابق ۳؍ رمضان المبارک بروز جمعہ افطار سے تھوڑی دیر پہلے غروب ہوگیا، یعنی حضرت مولانا سعید احمد اکبرؔ آبادی عالم فانی سے عالم جادوانی کی طرف کوچ فرماگئے۔ اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
مولانا کی علالت کا سلسلہ طویل رہا، گذشتہ سال مئی کے وسط میں حضرت مفتی عتیق الرحمن عثمانی کا انتقال ہوا تو ان پر اس سانحہ کا بڑا اثر ہوا، اس کے دو ماہ بعد ان کے بڑے بیٹے عمر سعید آناً فاناً وفات پاگئے، ان کی طبیعت پر اس کا بھی بڑا اثر ہوا، بیٹے کی وفات کے روز انھوں نے ان کو کسی وجہ سے خوب ڈانٹا تھا، وہ گولیاں کھا کر سونے کے عادی تھے، مولانا کا خیال ہے کہ اس روز آزردہ ہوکر انھوں نے مقررہ مقدار سے زائد گولیاں کھالیں، اور اس لحاظ سے وہ اپنے آپ کو قصور وار سمجھنے لگے تھے، گذشتہ اگست میں میرے قیام علی گڑھ کے دوران میں انھیں کتے نے کاٹ لیا، ڈاکٹر نے ان کے شکم میں متعدد انجکشن لگائے، لیکن چند روز بعد وہ جگہ متورم ہوگئی، اور انھیں بخار آنے لگا، ڈاکٹروں نے ملیریا بخار کی تشخیص کی اور انھیں کونین کھلانا شروع کردیا، ضرورت سے زیادہ کونین کے استعمال سے ان کا جگر خراب ہوگیا، اور خون پیدا ہونا بند ہوگیا، خرابی جگر سے یرقان ہوگیا، علی گڑھ یونیورسٹی کے ہسپتال میں بغرض علاج داخل ہوگئے، لیکن افاقہ نہ ہوا، حکیم افہام اﷲ خان صاحب اور حکیم عبدالحمید صاحب کے ہی زیر علاج رہے، لیکن کمزوری دن بہ دن بڑھتی چلی گئی، ان کی علالت بڑھتی گئی ان کی بیٹی مسعودہ سعید کراچی سے علی گڑھ پہنچیں...

Implementasi Model Waterfall Dalam Perancangan Sistem Surat Perintah Perjalanan Dinas Berbasis Website Dengan Metode SDLC

Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengimplementasikan implementasi model waterfall dalam perancangan sistem surat perintah perjalanan dinas berbasis website dengan metode SDLC. Perancangan sistem Surat Perintah Perjalanan Dinas pada Badan Pusat Statistik Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan bertujuan untuk mengkomputerisasikan pembuatan dan pengolahan data Surat Perintah Perjalanan Dinas secara efisien dan efektif. Pengelolaan SPPD ini di rancang menggunakan teknologi informasi berbasis website.

Sistem mempermudah efektivitas kinerja proses pembuatan SPPD di Badan Pusat Statistik Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan, serta penyimpanan data yang telah di buat tersimpan dengan baik, keamanan data lebih terjamin dan bisa di akses kapan pun dan di mana pun, serta menyelesaikan permasalahan yang ada pada Badan Pusat Statistik Kab. Pesisir Selatan  dalam melakukan penginputan data dan pembuatan laporan yang akurat dan tepat waktu

An Assessment of Major Ozone Depleting Substances Odss and Their Impacts on Climate Change Using Rs/Gis in Lahore, Pakistan

The aim of this thesis is to quantify emissions of selected halogenated refrigerant Ozone Depleting Substances (ODSs) and to make an assessment of some important non-halogenated trace gases, that involve or affect atmospheric O3 chemistry, over megacity Lahore (Pakistan). Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) weighted emissions of halogenated gases such as CFC 11, CFC 12, HCFC 141b and HFC 134a have been quantified in Lahore during 2005-2013. Additionally, anthropogenic emissions, spatial patterns, seasonal variabilities and trends have also been discussed for non-halogenated trace gases such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3) by using multi satellite and emission inventories data, and air masses trajectories analyses. To estimate ODP and GWP weighted emissions from Lahore, ODSs emissions have been quantified from production, repair/maintenance, and waste/disposal phases. During these phases the cumulative emissions of CFC 11, CFC 12, HCFC 141b and HFC 134a have been estimated to be 1.48 giga-grams which have contributed 293.3 tonnes of ODP (CFC 11-equivalent) and 1.87 mega-tonnes of GWP (CO2-equivalent). Significant declines in ODP (-8.4% yr-1) and GWP (-7.1% yr-1) have been observed during production phase for the period from 2005 to 2013 largely linked to the implementation of Montreal Protocol (1987) phase out programme. Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) based anthropogenic emissions of CH4 in Lahore have been recognized as the highest with 27% increase compared to the emissions from neighboring megacities Karachi, Delhi and Faisalabad during 2000-2008. SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) retrieved CH4 total column (TC) is found to be increasing at 4% over Lahore during 2003-2012. SCIAMCHY data also indicate a clear seasonality in CH4 TC with the highest column in August, whereas minimum column is observed in April. OMI observations identify Lahore and its surroundings as a prominent hotspot of tropospheric NO2 (tropo- NO2). A significant increase of 65% has been observed in tropo-NO2 column during 2004-2014. AIRS tropospheric CO (tropo-CO) observations indicate that Lahore has the second highest mean value of tropo-CO column in South Asia after megacity Delhi. An increase of 1.2 % is noted for tropo-CO column over Lahore during 2003-2012. July is found with the highest decadal increase of CO at 10.4% followed by August at 4.9%. It is observed that background CO has greater decrease rate of –0.84% yr–1 than the recent emissions at –0.56% yr–1. OMI Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) SO2 observations over Lahore reveal 2.4% yr-1 increase in SO2 during 2005-2014 with the highest monthly mean peak in December. EDGAR anthropogenic CO2 emissions and AIRS mid-tropospheric CO2 concentration show increasing trends at 3.1% yr-1 (during 1990-2008) and 1.8 ppm yr-1 (during 2002-2012) respectively. Satellite data suggest that long-range transport of volcanic SO2 from Jabal Al-Tair (Yemen), Dalaffilla (Ethiopia), Nabro (Eritrea) and Mount Etna (Italy) volcanoes has played a significant role in PBL-SO2 enhancements over Lahore. Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) TOC observations over Lahore show a minor increase at 1.1% yr-1 with the highest monthly mean value in April during 2004-2014. This rise is majorly linked to enhancements in ozone precursors and decline in chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) emissions. This study identifies Lahore as a prominent hotspot of gaseous pollution at regional scale mainly associated with urbanization, industrialization, motorization, large scale crop-residue burning and power generation. The air masses trajectories analyses show that, apart from the transport of gaseous pollution between Lahore and the Indian states of Punjab, it can also be transported from northwestern areas near Pak-Afghan border, Nepal and Arabian Sea.
