Author(s):Sadaf Iftikhar, Atteya Shahnaz, & Farzana Masroor
Abstract :
Movie posters are multimodal forms of advertisements that are meant for promoting a movie through a combination of visual and verbal elements. For linguistic and visual analysis, this paper analyses posters of three Academy Award winning animated movies, namely, Toy Story 3 (2010), Frozen (2013), and Zootopia (2016). Each one of the posters was comprehensively analyzed using Kress and Leeuwen’s (2006) three meanings: representational, interactive and compositional, as explicated by Chen and Gao (2013). The findings of the study deduced that various linguistic and visual modalities employed in movie posters converge together to give an apt representation of the theme of the movie. This article recommends the study of various multimodal pieces of discourse using Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) as a means to exploit multiple semiotic modes to reach to a comprehensive meaning of social processes.6) PAK–US Relations: Victim of Divergence of Interests
Author(s):Rooh ul Amin & Asma Shakir Khawaja
Abstract :
Pak-US relations are defined with frequent ups and down in roller coaster motion from engagements to estrangement with shifting priorities of US. Pakistan, Once the most allied ally in 50s, turned in to most sanctioned ally of the United States in 90s. The discord in bilateral relations was transformed in to cooperation by 9/11 terrorists attack on US and Pakistan is listed as key ally in the War against terror in Afghanistan. Since the commencement of War against Terror in Afghanistan the pattern of inter states relation has taken turns with every major event and the changing tones of the last few years indicates that the sky over Pakistan once again seems to be overcast. The rhetoric of “do more” and suspension of all kind of military and economic aid is replica of the past. The backlash of War in Afghanistan appeared with bangs in Pakistan threatening its peace and stability on one hand and polarizing its socio-political fiber of the society on the other. Soon Pakistan’s army was left alone by US and the NATO in its operation against the safe heavens of terrorists alongside Durand line with disregard to all of its human and economic cost, suffered as non-NATO ally. Pakistan’s importance has once again being signified on the wake of US current strategy of Withdrawal of its forces and successful culmination of Afghan peace process. Pakistan needs to play its card as bargaining chip to seek US weight in resolving its economic, security and Kashmir related issue in bef7) How does the leadership style play out in job-related outcomes?

Author(s):Sanam Wagma Khattak
Abstract :
In 1951 Pakistan ranked at 14th position in the world’s populous countries but with 2.1 percent growth rate it has now become the 5th most high populated country in the world. The rise in growth rate of population of Pakistan is due to two factors which are slow fall of crude birth rate which was 45 per thousand in 1960 to only 28.2 per thousand in 2018 and second factor is low mortality rate. Logistic regression was used to find out determinants of fertility intentions of ever married women at national and regional level where dependent variable was a dummy (would you like to give birth to another child or not) while lot of socio- economic variables like place of residence, education, employment status & age at marriage were dependent variables. Result indicated that number of surviving children, age at marriage, contraceptive use of women were found to be major factors limiting fertility intentions (i-e) desire to have more children in Pakistan so increasing age at marriage, providing more health and contraception facilities can reduce fertility levels in Pakistan.9) Contents
