The Social Organization of the Dawei National Dawei Township, Taninthayi Division, Union of Myanmar
No full textIn human society, human beings live in separate communities and they undertake and conduct social, economical administration and religious affairs for their society's solidarity. When one wants to study any of the society one must study the basic groups in detail so that one can know the cultural traditions of a society. I have studied the cultural traditions of Dawei nationals who live in Dawei. Although Daweis are in the Myanmar group, their cultural traditions, fine arts and language are peculiar in a different style. Dawei "Dance Song" which was recorded in "Maha Gita" Manual Music Book is a peculiar music in a sense. Their culture also has been in existence for many a year. I, being a Dawei national, exploiting a golden chance to write a thesis, for my master degree, I have decided to write on my own locality, Dawei and its fading- away traditional customs to give an exposure to other nationals in Myanmar

A kiberbűnözés kérdései Kínában: elmélet és gyakorlat
No full textThe Internet has permeated all aspects of social life in the modern world. Cybercrime has consequently evolved into a challenging and threatening form of crime. The globalization of the Internet necessitates global cooperation for cybercrime governance. In the context of global governance, this dissertation first explores the concept, morphology, and related theoretical interpretation of cybercrime from a criminological standpoint; then investigates the legislation, conviction, and sentencing practices of China's cybercrime governance. According to the findings of this dissertation, China has established a system of legal means to combat cybercrime that is "guided by the policies of the Communist Party of China + based on relevant laws and administrative regulations + supplemented by judicial interpretations." The conviction practice on cybercrime governance must be improved with regard to the protection of citizens' fundamental rights and the application of the legality principle of criminal law. Moreover, even though Chinese criminal justice has sentencing guidelines for cybercrime, there are still cases in which extralegal factors impact sentencing disparities. This dissertation employs legal dogmatic analysis, normative analysis, and empirical analysis as its research methodologies. Additionally, some informative experiences and recommendations are discussed. Az internet a modern világ társadalmi életének minden területét áthatja. A kíberbűnözés következésképpen a bűnözés kihívást jelentő és fenyegető formájává fejlődött. Az internet globalizációja komplex együttműködést tesz szükségessé a kiberbűnözés elleni küzdelem terén. A globális kormányzás összefüggésében Kína kíberbűnözés elleni gyakorlata és tapasztalatai hivatkozási pontként szolgálnak. A disszertáció először is a kiberbűnözés fogalmát, morfológiáját és kapcsolódó elméleti értelmezését vizsgálja kriminológiai szempontból. A disszertáció ezt követően a kínai kiberbűnözés elleni küzdelem jogalkotási, ítélkezési és büntetéskiszabási gyakorlatát vizsgálja. A disszertáció megállapításai szerint Kína létrehozta a kiberbűnözés elleni küzdelem jogi eszközrendszerét, amelyet “a Kínai Kommunista Párt politikája vezérel + a vonatkozó törvényeken és adminisztratív előírásokon nyugszik + kiegészül a bírói értelmezéssel”. Kína kiberbűncselekményekre vonatkozó ítélkezési gyakorlatát a polgárok alapvető jogainak védelmére és a büntetőjogban ismert törvényesség elvének alkalmazására figyelemmel kell fejleszteni. Annak ellenére, hogy a kínai büntető igazságszolgáltatás rendelkezik a kiberbűncseelkményekre vonatkozó büntetéskiszabási iránymutatásokkal, még mindig vannak olyan esetek, amelyekben a törvényen kívüli tényezők a büntetéskiszabási gyakorlat ingadozását eredményezik. A disszertáció kutatási módszereként a jogdogmatikai elemzést, a normatív elemzést és az empirikus elemzést alkalmazza. Ezenkívül néhány informatív tapasztalatot és ajánlást is bemutat
A Four-Factor User Interaction Model for Content-Based Image Retrieval
No full textIn order to bridge the “Semantic gap”, a number of relevance feedback (RF) mechanisms have been applied to content-based image retrieval (CBIR). However current RF techniques in most existing CBIR systems still lack satisfactory user interaction although some work has been done to improve the interaction as well as the search accuracy. In this paper, we propose a four-factor user interaction model and investigate its effects on CBIR by an empirical evaluation. Whilst the model was developed for our research purposes, we believe the model could be adapted to any content-based search system
Combining Interaction and Content for Feedback-Based Ranking
No full textThe paper is concerned with the design and the evaluation of the combination of user interaction and informative content features for implicit and pseudo feedback-based document re-ranking. The features are observed during the visit of the top-ranked documents returned in response to a query. Experiments on a TREC Web test collection have been carried out and the experimental results are illustrated. We report that the effectiveness of the combination of user interaction for implicit feedback depends on whether document re-ranking is on a single-user or a user-group basis. Moreover, the adoption of document re-ranking on a user-group basis can improve pseudo-relevance feedback by providing more effective document for expanding queries
Quantum Cognitively Motivated Decision Fusion for Video Sentiment Analysis
No full textVideo sentiment analysis as a decision-making process is inherently complex, involving the fusion of decisions from multiple modalities and the so-caused cognitive biases. Inspired by recent advances in quantum cognition, we show that the sentiment judgment from one modality could be incompatible with the judgment from another, i.e., the order matters and they cannot be jointly measured to produce a final decision. Thus the cognitive process exhibits ``quantum-like'' biases that cannot be captured by classical probability theories. Accordingly, we propose a fundamentally new, quantum cognitively motivated fusion strategy for predicting sentiment judgments. In particular, we formulate utterances as quantum superposition states of positive and negative sentiment judgments, and uni-modal classifiers as mutually incompatible observables, on a complex-valued Hilbert space with positive-operator valued measures. Experiments on two benchmarking datasets illustrate that our model significantly outperforms various existing decision level and a range of state-of-the-art content-level fusion approaches. The results also show that the concept of incompatibility allows effective handling of all combination patterns, including those extreme cases that are wrongly predicted by all uni-modal classifiers
