Designing a Front-Back End solution for the Issuance of Drivers2019; License by FRSC in Nigeria
No full textThe Nigeria drivers license is that document needed by citizen and non-citizen to drive automotive engine in Nigeria For example motor cars and motor cycles Issuance of this license manually has posed so many challenges These include delay corrupt practice and others Because of the indiscriminate ways adopted during the cause of license issuance this has constituted to the high accident rate on our highway To resolve this the Nigeria government introduced the Federal Road Safety Corps that liaises with other units on the issuance of license The present Internet based methods adopted by FRSC is a forward end based approach In this approach clients still need to interact with other units directly before a final submission and collection are done This approach is still opening for corrupt practices as a result of the direct link between clients and various units involved To resolve this issue a front-back end solution approach is proposed This method uses the back end automated engine as the link between the front and other units involved A prototype demonstration of this research is carried out using some quality of service metrics A comparison of this work with the existing one is carried out The results of this work perform better than the existing methods based on the used metric
What Directions Do We Look at Power from? Up-Down, Left-Right, and Front-Back
No full textThree experiments were carried out to investigate whether the the kinship concept had spatial representations along up-down (Experiment 1), left-right (Experiment 2), and front-back (Experiment 3) orientation. Participants identified the letter P or Q after judging whether kinship words were elder or junior terms. The results showed that participants responded faster to letters placed at the top, right side, and front following elder terms, and faster at the bottom, left side, and back following junior terms. The regression results further confirmed that these shifts of attention along up-down, right-left, and front-back dimensions in external space were uniquely attributed to the power construct embedded in the kinship concept, but not number or time. The results provide evidence for the multiple spatial representations in power, and can be explained by the theoretical construct of structural mapping

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
