Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
Chek and Hava is an absurdist romantic comedy about using your boyfriend to rebel against your parents. While remaining light and easy to watch, it is additionally meant to have three intentionally designed layers:1. The surface level story revolves around Hava bringing home her boyfriend Chek- an unemployed artist, that she knows her wealthy demigod parents will disapprove of. Her parents ultimately force Chek out of his carefree life and into a corporate career, accepting him and deflating Hava’s rebellion. She finally breaks free by exiting the system of their beliefs and trying to form her persona independently rather than as a counter to her parents. She does this through refusing to allow their dictation of identity.2. There is cultural and thematic symbolism within the characters’ power dynamics- Mother is an Urdu-speaking ray of light, meant to be a symbol of the Muslim deification of motherhood/wifehood, the ultimate womanly aspiration. She wants Hava to be like her. She is also meant to be inescapable, like a prison searchlight. Father is a blue-skinned corporate man to signify the absurd appearance-based prejudices that persist today- unless you have money. He takes control of Chek to retain the family image. Hava has no control over her own life and so uses Chek as a rebellion point. Her confines and provisions have left her unable to form her own goals.3. The third layer is visual language. The film has a rich visual language, littered with Islamic evil-eye motifs, surreal art-versus-corporate visual dynamics, South Asian-influenced décor and fashion, and animated/collage elements. It has conceptual abstractions in several nightmare sequences which are accompanied by poetry in my native language, Urdu.
