In the translation field, it is very important to be able to produce a translated text that sustained the author's intended messages as close as possible.

With these issues in mind, a study on the translation procedures used to translate a popular English fairy-tales into Bahasa Malaysia was carried out. …

A Case Study Of Stakeholder Perceptions On Communicative Competence In Engineering Technical Oral Presentation / E. Bhattacharyya, E. Bhattacharyya
Student Works (2010-2019)
To date, the notion of communicative competence is deemed “fuzzy” and limited in its operational definition from a linguistic and rhetorical perspective in oral communication literature. An understanding of communicative competence requirements in technical oral presentations stems from the lack of linguistic and rhetorical competency studies required among ESL learners in a Malaysian setting; employer discontent over graduates’ apparent lack of communication skills and limited literature on linguistic and rhetorical features necessary in scientific and engineering oral presentations (Dannels, 2009; Hafizoah Kassim & Kassim Ali 2010; Morton, 2009). The notion becomes more complex when selected stakeholders from various communities of …

Owing to the distributed nature of modern attacks (e.g. denial-of-service), it is extremely challenging to detect such malicious behaviour using traditional intrusion detection systems. In this thesis, we investigate the possibility of adapting an intelligent system to an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) by proposing a cooperative and intelligent detection and prevention system using machine learning approaches, and aim to facilitate the detection and prevention process in a distributed environment. Firstly, we review the state of the art of intelligent intrusion detection and prevention system (IIDPS), and highlight the security requirement of cooperative based-IIDPS. Adaptive optimization techniques such as fuzzy logic …

Social Media Usage For Civic Engagement / Anne Marie Warren, Anne Marie Warren
Student Works (2010-2019)
In the field of Information Systems, much is known about social media as an Information Technology artefact and its influence, offering various understandings of online human behaviour, particularly for business, psychology and sociology implications. Frequently, research on social media usage can be classified into internal (e.g. entertainment and satisfaction) and external factors (e.g. connection benefits). While these studies on motivations generated a clear link between internal and external factors for social media usage, they did not relate clearly the motivations to the contributions made in terms of civic engagement behaviour. Although there have been calls for research in understanding social …
