Abstract:

Abstract The paper presents a shadow detection and elimination algorithm designed for greyscale video sequences. The paper proposes: an automatic method for determining the binarization threshold on the basis of the object edge analysis, division of areas identified as potential shadow using a rectangular grid, analyzing the similarities between the current frame and the background model performed in areas and analyzing the potential shadows areas position relative to the position of areas identified as a true object. The algorithm was designed to eliminate shadows casted by people in video surveillance sequences. The obtained results show the usefulness of the proposed solution.

Abstract:

The Shadow Lines (1988) is a historical novel by Amitav Ghosh that focuses on the national and geographical boundaries that alienate individuals. The book also depicts the violence that erupted in 1964. The title “The Shadow Lines” has multiple layers of meanings; it does not only relate to international boundaries. Ghosh’s choice of the title implies that the boundaries that divide people are just ‘shadows’. Those borders are nothing but artificial and fictitious lines drawn by people from power centre. Ghosh emphasises arbitrary nature of such geographic demarcations. This paper tends to identify the identity of people who did cross geographical borders forcefully or voluntarily and how memory and nostalgia loom large upon them.

Abstract:

We present an automated and complete camera-based monitoring system that makes use of low-level color features to perform detection, tracking and recognition of multiple people in video sequence. Specifically, the system employs a novel coverage check-up method to segment detected foreground regions into isolated people and then localize each of them. During tracking, the appearances of people are modeled by their color histograms so that the system can keep aware of their identities and recognize them after occlusions by maximizing the joint likelihood. To make the recognition more robust against shadows or changes of background illumination, the system also incorporates a shadow removal scheme to suppress shadow effects and hence improve the quality of color histogram. The proposed system has been used to identify people who re-enter the field of view of a monitoring camera in a closed-environment. Experimental results of real video data demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed people monitoring system.

Abstract:

The combination of subtraction stereo with shadow detection we propose improves people tracking in stereoscopic environments. Subtraction stereo is a stereo matching method which is fast and robust for the correspondence problem – one of the most serious issues in computer vision – restricting the search range of matching to foreground regions. Shadow detection gives adequate foreground regions of tracked people by removing cast shadows. This leads to accurate three-dimensional measurement of positions in stereoscopic environment tracking. By focusing on disparity images obtained by subtraction stereo, we can detect people easily based on standard labeling. Objects can also be measured directly in size by subtraction stereo without geometric information about environments for tracking. This is important for installing the tracking system easily. To track multiple passing people, we use the extended Kalman filter to address the occlusion problem usually encountered in crowded environments. The proposed method is verified by experiments using unknown stereoscopic environments.

Abstract:

One hundred fifty years after the birth of L. L. Zamenhof in 1859, the audacity of his ambition stands out in sharp relief. Zamenhof intended Esperanto to create a new people for whom ethical relations to all other human beings, regardless of ethnicity, nationality, or religion, would be primary. Convinced that Esperanto, to survive, needed to become the hereditary language of a people, he offered it to the Jews of Russia as the medium of a transformed Jewish identity called Hillelism. When the Russian Jews spurned his gift, he offered Hillelism, in multiple versions, to the Esperantists. But the French leaders of the movement found Hillelism unseemly, in part because they deemed it “mystical,” and in part because it had Jewish overtones. During Zamenhof’s lifetime, the Esperanto “people” were hardly the harmonious generation Zamenhof had envisioned; in fact, they would later endure numerous schisms. Nonetheless, they remained Zamenhof’s best hope to people the utopia of the future.

Abstract:

Shadow as a design element applied to architectural and landscape design, can embellish, foil, and even enhance the subject. The shadow can also make the design works full of vitality and characteristic. Based on the actual cases, this article analyses the effect of shadow on architecture and landscape, and reveals the special effect producing by shadow. The effects include breaking the visual limitation, enhancing the connotation and artistic conception of the design. Shadow can give people an unexpected artistic appeal and spiritual shock. And bring much richer experience and even much more deep thinking to people.

Abstract:

Although there are many algorithms to track people that are walking, existing methods mostly fail to cope with occluded bodies in the setting of multi-person tracking with one camera. In this paper, we propose a method to use people’s shadows as a clue to track them instead of treating shadows as mere noise. We introduce a novel method to track multiple people by fusing shadow data from the RGB image with skeleton data, both of which are captured by a single RGB Depth (RGB-D) camera. Skeletal tracking provides the positions of people that can be captured directly, while their shadows are used to track them when they are no longer visible. Our experiments confirm that this method can efficiently handle full occlusions. It thus has substantial value in resolving the occlusion problem in multi-person tracking, even with other kinds of cameras.

Abstract:

Abstract In most OECD countries the policy instrument of choice to prevent people from working in the shadows has been deterrence. While deterrence is well founded from a theoretical point of view, the empirical evidence on its success is weak: tax policies and state deregulation appear to work much better. The discussion of the recent literature underlines that in addition to economic opportunities, the overall situation in the labor market and unemployment are crucial for an understanding of the dynamics of the shadow economy.

Abstract:

This paper’s goal is to highlight how happiness affects the level of shadow economy, by using many control variables within different types of potentially determining factors of shadow economy. Another main contribution consists in the systematic comparison between old and new European Union member states in terms of determinants of shadow economy, including happiness. Our findings consist in the fact that happier people are more likely to act honestly, thus causing a decrease in the size of shadow economy and this result is valid both for old and new European Union countries. In addition, we found that the quality of public governance and the richness of a country are associated with a lower propensity towards shadow economy for all the member states. However, the relationship between public governance and shadow economy are never sig-nificant when the happiness and richness variables vary simultaneously. Our research reveals that the shadow economy in European Union countries is explained in percent of about 62% by richness and happiness of the people. Contrary to our expectations, the fiscal pressure seems not to be a determinant for shadow economy in the European Union space.

Abstract:

The Sámi’s past activities have been documented historically from a European perspective, and more recently from an anthropological viewpoint, giving a generalised observation of the Sámi, during the study period of AD200-AD1800, as semi-nomadic hunter gatherers, with several theories suggesting that interaction with Europeans, through trade, led to the adoption of European activities by certain groups of the Sámi (Eiermann, 1923; Paine, 1957; Manker and Vorren, 1962; Bratrein, 1981; Mathiesen et al, 1981; Meriot, 1984). However, there is almost no information on the impact the Sámi had on the landscape, either before or after any adoption of European activities, and none investigating what cultural footprint or indicators would remain from Sámi or European occupation and/or activity within the typically podzolic soils of Northern Sweden. Consequently the thesis aims to contribute to the gap in knowledge through the formation of a podzol model identifying the links between anthropogenic activity and the alteration of podzol soils, and through the creation of soils based models which identify the cultural indicators associated with both Sámi and European activity; formed from the identification of cultural indicators retained within known Sámi and European sites. The methods used to obtain the information needed to achieve this were the pH and magnetic susceptibility from bulk soil samples and micromorphological and chemical analysis of thin section slides through the use of standard microscopy and X-ray fluorescence from a scanning electron microscope. The analysis revealed that the Sámi had an extremely low impact on the landscape, leaving hard to detect cultural indicators related to reindeer herding in the form of reindeer faecal material with corresponding phosphorous peaks in the thin section slides. The European footprint however, was markedly different and very visible even within the acidic soil environment. The European indicators were cultivation based and included phosphorous and aluminium peaks as well as a deepened, highly homogenised plaggen style anthropogenic topsoil rich in ‘added’ materials. An abandoned European site which visibly and chemically shows the formation of a secondary albic horizon within the anthropogenic topsoil also provides an insight into the delicate balance of cultivated soil in northern Sweden, whilst reinforcing the outputs identified in the podzol model. Due to the almost invisible Sámi footprint on the landscape, areas of overlap were impossible to identify however, there was no evidence of the adoption of European cultivation activities at any of the Sámi sites investigated. The only known area of interaction between the two cultures was an official market place which had been a Sámi winter settlement prior to its use as a market site. This site showed none of the reindeer based Sámi indicators or the cultivation based European indicators, but did contain pottery fragments which could be linked to trade or occupation. Overall, the thesis reinforces the low impact expected of the semi-nomadic Sámi and sheds light on the underlying podzolic processes influencing the anthropogenically modified soils of Northern Sweden. The podzol model is reinforced by several findings throughout the thesis and the soils based cultural indicator models for both Sámi and European activity have been successfully tested against independent entomological and palynological data and therefore provide reliable reference material for future studies.

Abstract:

Despite the widespread prevalence of bombing in Iraq, no study has investigated its psychological impact on civilians. This thesis aimed to address this gap in the literature. Four studies were conducted consequently using civilians in Iraq. The first study aimed to explore the subjective experience in response to the bombing attack. A qualitative approach was taken and twenty semi-structured interviews were employed and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). This identified seven categories including interpersonal relationships, loss of self, changes in attachment, shattering of world assumptions. Subsequent studies were then conducted to understand these themes as possible predictors of PTSD and psychiatric comorbidity in regards to bombing attacks. The second study was a prospective longitudinal design aimed to investigate the trajectory of PTSD symptoms, psychiatric comorbidity, and attachment styles among survivors. It also aimed to examine the role of a variety of variables, namely shattering of world assumptions, altered self-capacity, perceived social support to predict PTSD and psychiatric comorbidity. One hundred and eighty Iraqi civilians were recruited and assessed approximately 1 month and 5 months after their experience of being in a bombing attack using a battery of questionnaires. A control group data (n=178) of people who had not been exposed to a bombing was also collected. Results indicated that 19.4% and 57.2% of the participants met the screening criteria for partial and full PTSD symptoms at T1, which declined overtime. The bombing group displayed significantly higher rates of psychiatric comorbidity and insecure attachment than the control group. After controlling for the severity of bombing attack, controllability of events and affect dysregulation significantly predicted both PTSD and psychiatric co-morbidity symptoms. None of these dimensions predicted PTSD and psychiatric co-morbidity at T2. The complementary study 3 looked further at selected predictors indicated by the findings of study 1, namely death anxiety, coping strategies, religious coping and meaning in life. This study employed a longitudinal design in which 185 participants were recruited and assessed approximately 2 months and 7 months after bombing using a package of self-report questionnaires. Results indicated that religious coping and cognitive avoidance had a significant role to play in predicting PTSD and psychiatric comorbidity shortly after the bombing. Death anxiety was also emerged another picture in predicting PTSD and psychiatric comorbidity through mediators, namely religious coping and searching for meaning in life. Literature showed that PTSD and psychological distress are treatable after people had received various forms of professional and personal strategies. Study 4 employed mixed methods in order to provide further understanding regarding the helpful coping strategies that participants had attempted to use to manage their psychological distress. Six participants (n=3 recovered well, n=3 still struggle) were recruited for the qualitative phase and 243 for the quantitative. Social support was found as the most frequent and helpful strategy to manage post-bombing distress, followed by avoiding thinking about the bombing and religious strategies. Different psycho-social factors that hinder or foster recovery between participants were also highlighted. In conclusion, the findings confirmed related studies that, following bombing, there is a high risk that victims develop PTSD and psychiatric co-morbidity symptoms which decline to some extent over time. A variety of factors, such as social support and religious strategies were identified as helpful. However, these were also related to the victims’ prior attachment strategies. Implications for assisting victims and the population of Iraq are offered, in particular the need to support families and friends (social networks) in the context of very limited professional sources of support in a country where terrorism is rife.

Abstract:

Often we see examples of what makes a great leader, yet overlook examples of dark leaders. This thesis explores how dark leaders don’t necessarily draw in blind followers, but rather abuse their power in order to build their vision. In my study of Jonestown I show that followers were genuine in their feelings about Jones as a person and the Peoples Temple’s mission. They should not be dismissed just because they “drank the Kool-Aid.” This thesis explores and evaluates various religious studies theories and their interpretation of the events, popular perceptions, and personal statements from the deceased or surviving members. I conclude that Jones was a revolutionary leader during his time. He tried to achieve equality in the U.S. on multiple platforms, but was ultimately too attracted by power and control. In the end, this matters because given the state of the world today and the rise of dark leaders both through political offices, terrorist groups and other places, we need to have a way to not only protect ourselves from joining them, but also preventing them.

Abstract:

In recent years there has been much interest in children's participation on an international and national level, based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and children's rights expressed ethically, morally, and legally. This culture of listening and viewing how children and young people participate in our changing world has been the focus of research, theoretical and political discourses, and debates. After reviewing the underpinning literature, this thesis examines and compares the reality of participation from data collected and analysed in three "stories of practice" (Eide and Winger, 2005:79). The main focus of my research was to explore how children and young people's voices were represented through multimodal methods as a means of participation. Researching three different "stories from practice" (Eide and Winger, 2005:79) I reflect on the issues of participation and the use of creative arts and media over a range of different settings, and the ways in which children and young people are consulted. This includes a consultation project of a local authority safeguarding children's board, a Creative Partnership project in a pupil referral unit, and a discussion with a group of young people who have experienced participation. The first two projects observed young people 'participating' in adult initiated activities and the third asked young people directly how they felt about their experiences and issues around participation. I examined the three different stages of my research drawing on the Mosaic approach (Clark and Moss, 2001), using a mixed methodology incorporating a range of qualitative data. The main findings of this research critically engage with recent debates and concepts surrounding participatory practices and methods, which ask whose agenda is being served, whose voice is being heard, and what is the purpose of participation. often leading to tokenism rather than participation being more inclusive for young people. The recommendations for practice that emerge are based on what the young people in the last stage of my research raised as being issues, where they had found that the process of participation had not been meaningful. Their main concerns were that practitioners should give more consideration to the way they communicate with children and young people; that they should actively listen; and most importantly to respond and be honest about how the young people's views will be used, and what changes they will affect.

Abstract:

This text demonstrates that my work on young people who are exploited through prostitution and young people involved in problematic drug use in Britain at the end ofthe twentieth and beginning ofthe twenty-first century constitutes a significant contribution to advancing our knowledge ofthese inter-related issues. The text demonstrates that, in Britain, at the end of the twentieth and beginning ofthe twenty-first century, young people exploited through prostitution and young people involved in problematic drug use share in common lived experiences in poverty at the margins of society. The common theme demonstrated here is that, as a result ofthe poverty generated by social and economic policies adopted in Britain in response to gIobalisation, 'street cultures' play an important role in the development and maintenance of survival strategies adopted by socially marginalised and economically disadvantaged young people. The discussion argues that these cultures perform important functions in time and space for socially and economically marginal young people. They do so in different ways for different young people. At the same time, however, they serve to further entrench their social and economic exclusion and disadvantage.

Abstract:

Human is a social being, and needs communication to convey feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and ideologies to survive. Despite being man-made, machines do not have any feelings. However, the development of artificial intelligence poses a suggestion that machines can also think, and feel. The development of new communication technologies reveals the importance of the relationship between machines and humans. People can control the machine/robot with voice commands or hand-face-eye scans. The data processed in the machine memory can be interpreted with other algorithms and instantly give the needed information. The machine that processes the reaction of the individual sometimes may be protective for itself and the individual, and sometimes, a shadow. By recognizing the individual, the machine can turn into a dangerous and useful tool. Makine işlediği verileri saklayıp, depolamakta ve kayıt altına almaktadır. The data is protected by a machine-built firewall. However, if these data are captured, internal and external surveillance is inevitable. Nowadays, in terms of the ecology of communication, new media tools ensure the continuity of communication and facilitate the individual's socialization. In addition, the machines add speed to the life of the individual over time and space. In this study, the character structures of the machine are examined and its importance in terms of digital surveillance is revealed. The aim is to evaluate the machine in terms of digital surveillance by revealing that the machine can be protective, shadow, friend, or dangerous for the individual with the concept of artificial intelligence. In this study, the emotional intelligence of the machine and the concept of digital surveillance will be analyzed using the content analysis method and semiotics technique. In the research, randomly picked 5 Hollywood films (Ex Machina, I Robot, Bicentennial Man, Transcendence, Eagle Eye) will be analysed according to the character analysis of Jung, and the different aspects of the human and machine will be determined by making use of the emotional side of the machine and the fundamental oppositions of Barthes. In these films, the forms of the machine are different, and it is noteworthy that they have protective and shadow characters. The machine becomes dangerous by acting with its emotions. As a result, it has been revealed that the machine/robot reacts according to the data and has an important aspect in terms of digital surveillance since the machine is constantly evolving with the power of artificial intelligence, and this development makes it easier to access other tools and facilitate digital surveillance. In the eagle eye film, the machine can make digital surveillance using all the camera systems in the city.

Abstract:

Aim/Purpose: This paper, although conceived earlier than the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic, addresses the problem of informing agility as part of organizational agility that has become a rather important issue for business survival. Background: While the general issues of business informing, and business intelligence (BI) in particular, have been widely researched, the dynamics of informing, their ability to act in accord with changes in business and preserve the key competencies has not been widely researched. In particular, the research on BI agility is rather scattered, and many issues need to be clarified. Methodology: A series of in-depth interviews with BI professionals to determine relations between organizational agility and BI agility, and to round up a set of key factors of BI agility. Contribution: The paper clarifies a candidate set of key factors of BI agility and gives ground for future research in relations with areas like corporate and BI resilience and culture. Findings: The interview results show the relations between organizational changes, and changes in BI activities. BI has limited potential in recognizing important external changes but can be rather helpful in making decision choices and detecting internal problems. Lack of communication between business and IT people, existence of data silos and shadow BI, and general inadequacy of organizational and BI culture are the key factors impairing BI agility. Recommendations for Practitioners: There are practical issues around BI agility that need solving, like the reason-able coverage of standards or creation of a dedicated unit to care about BI potential. Recommendations for Researchers: The research is still in its starting phase, but additional interesting directions start to emerge, like relations between BI agility, resilience and corporate agility, or the role of informing culture and BI culture for BI agility issues. Impact on Society: Agile business, especially in times of global shocks like COVID-19, loses less value and has more chances to survive. Future Research: Most likely this will be focused on the relations between BI agility, resilience, and corporate agility, and the role of informing culture and BI culture for BI agility issues.

Abstract:

The University College Cork (UCC) Open Arboretum Project aims to re-imagine the original purpose of the University’s tree collection – as a teaching tool. The arboretum represents a unique on-campus learning space which has been under-utilised for teaching in recent times. The arboretum has the capacity to engage students, staff and visitors in a tangible way with important global issues (e.g. the climate emergency and biodiversity loss). It is also an opportunity to combat ‘plant blindness’, i.e. the ambivalence shown to plants in our environment compared to often charismatic animal species. Wandersee and Schussler (1999) coined the term “plant blindness” to describe the preference for animals rather than plants that they saw in their own biology students. Knapp (2019) has argued that, in fact, humans are less ‘plant blind’ and more ‘everything-but-vertebrates-blind’ with school curricula and television programming over-emphasising the role of vertebrates at the expense of other groups of organisms. Botanic gardens and arboreta have long been used for educational purposes. Sellman and Bogner (2012) have shown that learning about climate change in a botanic garden led to a significant shortterm and long-term knowledge gain for high-school students compared to students who learned in a classroom setting. There is also evidence that learning outside as part of a science curriculum results in higher levels of overall motivation in the students and a greater feeling of competency (Dettweiler et al., 2017). The trees in the UCC collection, like other urban trees also provide a range of benefits outside of the educational sphere. Large, mature trees, with well-developed crowns and large leaf surface area have the capacity to store more carbon than smaller trees. They provide shade as well as food and habitats for animal species as well providing ‘symbolic, religious and historic’ value in public common spaces. Such benefits have recently been summarised by Cavender and Donnolly (2019) and aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities by Turner-Skoff and Cavender (2019). A stakeholder survey has been conducted to evaluate how the tree collection is currently used and a tour of the most significant trees in the collection has been developed. The tour encourages participants to explore the benefits of plants through many lenses including recreation, medicine and commemoration. The open arboretum project brings learning beyond the classroom and acts as an entry point for learning in a variety of disciplines, not least plant science and environmental education generally.

Abstract:

A shaft of spindle with high speed and high stiffness could be stuck due to overheat generated by bearing and poor lubrication, and then the failure of spindle may occur. It should be seriously considered as a key factor for the bearing design of high-speed and high-stiffness spindle in order to increase the flow rate within the bearing with small clearance. A water lubricated hybrid bearing with multi-holes and deep/shallow recesses is proposed in the paper, which can be used in high-speed machine tool spindle. The FLUENT software is used to simulate flow field inside of bearing. For a compute time efficiency, a one-eighth bearing model is built for CFD analysis according to the bearing symmetry. The results show that, inlet and outlet oil ports could be placed in the same deep recess. Lubricant flowing into deep recess through the orifice restrictor could work appropriately for lubrication purpose of high-speed bearing, but not directly flowing out of outlet in the same groove as many people assumed. The remarkable turbulence flow occurs for lubricant in deep recess and gradually weakens in the shallow recesses.

Full text

Abstract:

The desire to increase inclusivity in the field of architecture is concurrent with a perceptible growing trend in the United States in which many institutions of higher education have begun to take a closer look at student enrollment in the realization that various degree programs, including architecture, have historically lacked representation from people of color. Emerging architecture pipeline programs are poised to erode the demographic status quo by creating opportuniti es to engage historically underrepresented students while they are still in high school. Many of the explicit and implicit competencies these programs impart are valuable additions toward increasing the likelihood of more underrepresented students successfully applying to study architecture at the university level. These programs are only a small part of a growing number of efforts intended to address long-standing inequiti es in architecture education. This paper aims to assess such programs in light of Sharon Sutton’s imperative to achieve and sustain educational equity set forth in her recent book, When Ivory Towers Were Black: A Story About Race in America’s Cities and Universities. This paper first briefly identifies numerous diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives currently taking hold in the discipline and profession of architecture. Next, it carefully examines Sutton’s account of the Columbia University School of Architecture’s attempt to transform the demographic status quo. Lastly, it considers the lessons learned from the experiment and applies them to emerging pipeline programs, referred to here as Architecture Development Programs, ultimately seeking to explore successful methods to attract, educate, and support historically under represented young people in the classroom and the profession.

Abstract:

Discussions of extremist ideologies naturally focus on how in-groups criticize and attack out-groups. But many important extremist ideological texts are disproportionately focused criticizing their own in-group. This research report will use linkage-based analysis to examine Siege, a White nationalist tract that has played an important role shaping modern neo-Nazi movements, including such violent organizations as Atomwaffen Division and The Base. While Siege strongly attacks out-groups, including Jewish and Black people, the book is overwhelmingly a critique of how the White people of its in-group fall short of Nazi ideals. Siege’s central proposition—that the White in-group is disappointing, deeply corrupt, and complacent—shapes its argument for an “accelerationist” strategy to hasten the collapse of society in order to build something entirely new. Finally, this report briefly reviews comparable extremist texts from other movements to draw insights about how in-group critiques shape extremist strategies. These insights offer policymakers and law enforcement tools to anticipate and counter violent extremist strategies. They also highlight less-obvious avenues for potential counter-extremist interventions and messaging campaigns.
