The Cultivation theory (sometimes referred to as the cultivation hypothesis or cultivation analysis) suggests that when people watch television they are acquiring or cultivating a view of the “real world” that is shaped by the way things are portrayed on television. The objective of this study is to describe how the research using the cultivation theory as the guiding framework or theoretical base is performed in the the published scientific articles. Data collected is analyzed using content analysis method. The overall findings indicate that in initial development of cultivation theory, publication articles focused more on the falsification of cultivation theory itself, cultivation theory has been confirmed in a wide array of studies across diverse fields area attests to its versatility. But in later development, the theory was also used in the analysis of the theme of non-violence, such as psychology and economy. In economy, the focus is primarily on consumer behavior; the large majority of articles were empirical research (70%), most of all collecting data in literature research used survey method (72.7%), empirical research has been used variable control (57.4%).

No full textPredicting Prosody from Text for Text-to-Speech Synthesis
No full textPredicting Prosody from Text for Text-to-Speech Synthesis covers the specific aspects of prosody, mainly focusing on how to predict the prosodic information from linguistic text, and then how to exploit the predicted prosodic knowledge for various speech applications. Author K. Sreenivasa Rao discusses proposed methods along with state-of-the-art techniques for the acquisition and incorporation of prosodic knowledge for developing speech systems. Positional, contextual and phonological features are proposed for representing the linguistic and production constraints of the sound units present in the text. This book is intended for graduate students and researchers working in the area of speech processing
Amphipods from Curaçao, Bonaire, Aruba and Margarita
No full textThe material on which the present paper is based was collected in fresh- and brackish-water habitats on the islands of the Leeward Group, West Indies, in 1936 and 1937. For completeness sake specimens from brackish water and from some isolated salt-water habitats — already studied by the author (K. STEPHENSEN, 1933a and 1933b) — were included. It seems highly probable that the greater part of the species treated below are also represented in the litoral fauna of the open sea.
The occurrence of the species on the various islands may be summarized as follows (see also Table 1.

Aspergillus endocarditis presenting as acute right lower limb pain
No full textCorrigendum: On 31/10/2013 the name of the author K. Shah was corrected to read K. Saha.Aspergillus endocarditis is an 2nd most common cause of endocarditis having poor prognosis. We report a rare case of fungal endocarditis following cardiac valve replacement presenting as acute pain in the right lower limb. Embolism and endocarditis were primarily detected by CT angiography and echocardiography respectively. Diagnosis was established by histopathology and culture of the emboli and was confirmed later by isolation of the Aspergillus species from the resected valve tissue.
