Threats issued to Naval Kishore Kumar: Setting the record straight
Get PDFForward Press is not a novice when it comes to getting threats. Our Hindi editor Naval Kishore Kumar, who is at the receiving end this time, is not only a journalist but also a sensitive poet. Brahmeshwar Mukhiya, on the other hand, is a synonym for terror and has shamed humanity
A Theoretical Study on Landslide in India: It's Causes & Preventions
No full text<p> <i>Landslides stem from the failure of materials making up the hill slopes and are beefed up by the force of gravity. When the ground becomes saturated, it can become unstable, losing its equilibrium in the long run. That's when a landslide breaks loose. When people are living down these hills or mountains, it's usually just a matter of time before disaster happens. Landslides are a natural phenomenon, but it involves many human activities which lead to the mass movement of landmass.</i></p>

Get PDFInvestigating teachers' concerns and experiences in teaching children with special educational needs in Bhutan
No full textThis study investigated Bhutanese teachers' concerns and experiences in teaching children with Special Educational Needs in both inclusive and special schools. A mixed method design, combining quantitative and qualitative methods was used to answer the research questions. The aim of collecting quantitative data was to identify the key concerns. The aim of collecting qualitative data was to find out how teachers were experiencing including students with SEN in the classrooms. In doing so, three major issues were highlighted from this study: lack of classroom and human resources, lack of policy and lack of professional development for teachers
Object segmentation using independent motion detection
No full textIndependent motion detection aims at identifying elements in the scene whose apparent motion is not due to the robot egomotion. In this work, we propose a method that learns the input-output relationship between the robot motion - described by the position and orientation sensors embedded on the robot - and the sparse visual motion detected by the cameras. We detect independent motion by observing discrepancies (anomalies) between the perceived motion and the motion that is expected given the position and orientation sensors on the robot. We then perform a higher level analysis based on the available disparity map, where we obtain dense profile of the objects moving independently from the robot. We implemented the proposed pipeline on the iCub humanoid robot. In this work, we report a thorough experimental analysis that covers typical laboratory settings, where the effectiveness of the method is demonstrated. The analysis shows in particular the robustness of the method to scene and object variations and to different kinds of robot's movements
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
