Abstract:
This paper describes an Android mobile phone application designed for blind or visually impaired people. The main aim of this system is to create an automatic text- reading assistant using the hardware capabilities of a mobile phone associated with innovative algorithms. The Android platform was chosen for people who already have a mobile phone and do not need to buy new hardware. Four key technologies are required: camera capture, text detection, speech synthesis, and voice detection. Moreover, a voice recognition subsystem has been created that meets the needs of blind users, allowing them t

Abstract:
It is somehow traditional a grandma reads to small children and a grandpa tells stories, but in real life these are rare opportunities nowadays. There are some projects encouraging elder people to read to children in kindergartens and in public libraries. There are more and more examples that young people read to elder people in retirement homes. All intergenerational reading possibilities could deepen the enjoyment of loud interpersonal reading. The paper presents one of the Slovene projects of the intergenerational reading that tends to bring together young people and grown-up, elder people

Abstract:
This essay examines an alternative eco-familial reading of Mamoru Hosoda’s manga film, Wolf Children (2012) through an analysis of Japanese extinction anxieties further exacerbated by 3/11. By reading the film through a minor history of the extinction of the Honshu wolf as a metaphor for 3/11, I argue that an examination of the degradation of Japanese preindustrial “stem family” and the fabulative expression of species cooperation and hybridity can more effectively be framed by the popular Japanese imaginary as a lupine apocalypse.

Abstract:
Because reading groups historically have been under-researched (Long, 2003), the literature in this field is limited, presenting this as an interesting area for researchers. A need for further research is also explained by the fact that the traditional model of a reading group has been expanded through recent library policies leading to the development of specific group types such as groups for visually-impaired people (VIPs). To date, there have been no long-term empirical studies of these groups. This thesis, therefore, makes a significant contribution to the literature in this field by prov

In this critical reading of Nadine Gordimer’s July’s People, the study investigates how different power structures affect the points of view and identity processes of the novel’s main characters. S. Ahmed’s (2009) conception of “Whiteness,” as a means of orienting in the world, is discussed and used as an interpretive tool when reading July’s People. In particular, the ongoing and unfinished history of objects and bodies represented in the novel and how these relate to whiteness and the process of “othering” is explored.

Abstract:
This thesis argues that novels depicting characters who exist outside of the social order have become integral to a twenty-first century corpus of British fiction for children and adolescents. This, in part, is as a result of a changing socio-political landscape in Britain post-2000 in which discussions of who does and does not ‘belong’ are becoming increasingly amplified. It will be shown that, against such a backdrop, fiction for young people written between 2001 and 2012 works to counter and challenge mainstream discourses prevalent in, for example; the media. With this in mind, this study’

Ecofeminist critics draw analogies between theexploitation of nature and the oppression of groups such as those based on race, class,and sexuality, which results in a distortion of Native people's identity and connection tonature.
