An Efficient Number Plate Detection System Based on Indian Traffic Rules

With the invent of automobile and advances in the world of machinery, there is a notable increase in the number of vehicles, two wheelers and three wheelers in the road transport. With the raise in the number of vehicles there is a lot of traffic violations that is happening in the road system. Based on the Indian traffic road system, monitoring the violation of such a incident is a huge task and also a tedious system. But however steps are taken to monitor the traffic breach that happens in the road transport through License Plate Detection mechanism for the vehicles that involves in over speeding or violating the rules. License plate location is a very important concept in vehicle license plate recognition for intelligent transport systems. Number plates can have different shapes and sizes along with different colors. The most common vehicle number plate in India have the background color as yellow or white with the font color black. Identification of number plate for vehicles in India has been discussed in this paper and the numbers have been segmented to identify them specifically. Our focus here is on two main steps: first is to find the number plate and second the segmentation of the number to identify them specifically. The main objective of this paper is to efficiently design and implement a method for License Plate Recognition (LPR) of Indian License Plates. We have manually acquired the images of various vehicles. Here for the detection point, we have used COCO-API RCNN and K-NEAREST NEIGHBOR.

Being Heard and Remembered: Young Adults’ Experiences of Recognition in the Social and Health Care Systems in Denmark

AbstractThis article draws on ethnographic material from a study among young Danish adults who have complex psychosocial problems and are not engaged in education or employment. Engaging the concepts of recognition (Honneth 2003, 2006) and care (Tronto 1994), we examine the young adults’ experiences of attitudinal, practical and relational aspects of encounters with professionals and services in the social and health care systems. We track how the young adults are socially visible or invisible as individuals depending on whether professionals show a genuine interest in the young adults’ specific stories and help meeting their needs over time. Social visibility is a prerequisite of recognition (Honneth 2003). We argue that at stake in the young adults’ encounters with professionals and services is the recognition of them as equal members of society, who deserve help with overcoming their problems and have something to contribute with. We examine the consequences of lack of recognition, and we conclude that paradoxically the efforts made by the system to help the young adults in some cases contribute to their experience of marginalization.

Doctored Images: Enacting "Pain-Work" in John Berger and Jean Mohr's A Fortunate Man (1967).

This essay argues that Berger and Mohr's A Fortunate Man (1967) - comprising social observation and photographs of the rural practitioner, Dr. Sassall and his patients - enacts an embodied, intersubjective empathy called "pain-work." The book enacts "pain-work" through two strategies. Firstly, by conflating three ways of seeing - Berger's observation, Mohr's photography, and Sassall's medical gaze - it shows that the clinical encounter embodies objective vision through intersubjective pain. Secondly, it employs the concepts of recognition and witnessing to show how the subjectivity of the physician is distributed in his community. Thus, Berger and Mohr witness Sassall's witnessing of his patients; even as Sassall and his patients are constituted intersubjectively, so too are Berger, Mohr, and Sassall.

Backing Up Marketing Buzzwords

Brands are built on the concept of recognition and differentiation in the marketplace. Today's branding is made to evoke a 'je ne sais quoi," sometimes aspirational, sometimes comforting, sometimes outright outlandish, but nonetheless recognizable and relatable. Product categories and trends come and go just like brands. However, some endure for decades with very simple common products or corner the market with complex signature ones. Others quickly become a distant memory in the minds eye of the consumer.

Peptide-driven bio-assisted removal of metal oxide nanoparticles from an aqueous suspension: A novel strategy for water remediation

A novel, bioinspired approach to water remediation is presented in which poly-peptide molecules with specific affinity for non-biological inorganic materials are used to immobilize metal oxide nanoparticles suspended in an aqueous batch. Based on the concept of molecular recognition, the proof of concept demonstrated here comprises a two-stage incubation methodology, whereby TiO2 nanoparticles in very low concentrations (0.04 mg/ml and below) can be effectively removed from a water suspension after being recognized and selectively bound to a properly engineered inorganic-binding peptide. Operating all the time under extraordinary soft conditions of temperature and pH (T = 37 °C, pH 7), the specific methodology involves first attaching the innocuous biomolecules to a substrate and then using the entire assembly to immobilize and remove the suspended nanoparticles. The whole procedure is systematically monitored by FESEM, microRaman and UV–vis analytical measurements and reveal that the immobilization mechanism fits widely in Langmuir’s isothermal adsorption model, with the biomolecule acting as a kind of molecular glue that ensures a stable adhesion with the noxious nanoparticles.

Sincere Cooperation, Mutual Trust, and Mutual Recognition in Social Security Coordination

This article looks into the meaning of the concepts of sincere cooperation, mutual trust, and mutual recognition in EU social security coordination. It analyses the legislative choice of coordination as the main regulatory mechanism in the field, and examines the role of administrative cooperation. Furthermore, the article highlights the challenges that arise in situations where mutual recognition is required under the Regulations, as in connection with portable documents relating to the posting of workers. It also considers the limits to mutual trust via the principle of prohibition of fraud and abuse of rights established in the case law of the CJEU on free movement. In the last few years, this principle has been extended into the field of social security law, notably in Altun. In this way, the coordination regime does not require totally blind trust: rather, it balances the Member States' interests of maintaining the integrity of their social security systems with the Union interest of simplifying free movement. As in other fields of EU law relating to free movement, the mutual trust between the Member States in social security coordination may therefore be set aside in extraordinary cases.

Mutual Recognition versus Transnational Administration in Tax Law: Is Fiscal Sovereignty Still Alive?

This paper analyses the evolution of the concept of mutual recognition in tax matters. For many decades, the prevailing idea was that a state's fiscal sovereignty prevented the recognition of a foreign tax decision. Now, however, the situation is changing, especially following the economic crisis of 2008 and the proliferation of international tax avoidance phenomena fed by multinational enterprises. As a consequence of these recent developments, tax decisions have often become the result of the contribution of several national authorities (sometimes also supported by supranational bodies). Mutual recognition has thus become basically useless. One can therefore speak about a new notion of tax sovereignty, according to which the peculiarities of a single legal system are not protected either through mutual closure or mutual recognition, but via ex ante procedural cooperation.

#MeToo in school: teachers’ and young learners’ lived experience of verbal sexual harassment as a pedagogical opportunity

Based on a case study of verbal sexual harassment experienced by a young female teacher and her 17-year-old student in a Norwegian upper secondary school, this article addresses challenges and strengths of drawing upon negative experiences of ‘lived injustice’ in class, arguing that such experiences can serve as a resource for education about, through and for human rights. Complementing this case study, we discuss a survey we have conducted among secondary school students (N=382), concerning how young learners report being sexually harassed and how often they experience that an adult intervenes in the situation. Combining the theoretical framework of human rights education (HRE) and the concepts of intersectionality and recognition, this article discusses the pedagogical potential of drawing upon teachers’ and young learners’ experiences of verbal sexual harassment.

Rare gems or mundane practice? Resource constraints as drivers of frugal innovation

ABSTRACT Frugal innovation and related concepts are receiving increasing scholarly attention. While recent progress in the conceptualisation of frugal innovation as a phenomenon has been considerable, insights into the antecedents of frugal innovation remain relatively poor. We add to this literature by systematically conceptualising, theorising and empirically testing the relationship between resource constraints and the propensity of firms to produce frugal innovations, drawing on concepts of problemistic search and opportunity recognition. We distinguish two levels of resource constraints (firm-level and firm environment-level), and two types of frugal innovation (internally oriented and customer-oriented), while using managerial experience as a moderating internal factor. We find that firm-level resource constraints have a strong effect on the propensity of firms to engage in internally oriented frugal innovation, although only so for firms with experienced managers. This effect is lower when these firms operate in an environment that also faces high constraints. We find no effect of resource constraints on customer-oriented frugal innovations, but find a surprising negative moderating effect of managerial experience. We discuss the theoretical and policy implications of these findings for the frugal and wider innovation literature. This study is the first large-scale empirical investigation of frugal innovation that estimates its prevalence. We find that frugal innovation is quite common when using the widest definition of frugal innovation. The majority of frugal innovations are mundane internal efficiency upgrades through capital investment.

Normkritisk barnlitteratur på svenska förskolor. En intervjustudie

På svenska förskolor används i dag barnlitteratur utgiven av så kallat normkritiska förlag både som en del av litteraturarbetet och värdegrundsarbetet. Syftet med denna artikel är att belysa förskollärares uppfattningar och erfarenheter av normkritisk litteratur i förskolan. På förskolor i tre olika delar av Sverige har sju pedagoger intervjuats om sina erfarenheter av och tankar kring att läsa och arbeta med normkritiska böcker, liksom om deras betydelse och funktion i relation till barnlitteratur generellt i förskolans verksamhet. Resultatet presenteras i tre avdelningar: 1) Vad och varför? Litteratursyn och litteratururval 2) Hur? Pedagogiskt handlednings-material 3) För vem? Strategier för att hantera stereotyper. Resultatet visar att förskollärarna betonar mångfald och igenkänning. De lyfter fram olika sätt som de hanterar stereotyper på, som att ändra eller ta bort ord under högläsning. Det pedagogiska handledningsmaterialet uppfattas som en värdefull resurs. Teoretiskt utgår artikeln från Rita Felskis resonemang om litteraturläsning och bruk av litteratur, framförallt de aspekter som rör igenkänning och kunskap.

Creating Constitutive Solidarity in Seattle: Praxis between the Duwamish Tribe and the Real Rent Duwamish Movement

ABSTRACT Solidarity is valuable praxis in this unequal world. The Real Rent Duwamish movement stands in solidarity with the federally unrecognized Duwamish Tribe. Real Rent Duwamish asks people who live in the Seattle area to pay rent as a way to redistribute resources and recognize continuous colonization. As a white European who sought to stand in solidarity, I wanted to learn about such praxis. I approached it through the intertwined concepts of transformative recognition and redistribution. Through research with the Real Rent Duwamish, I identified the praxis pertaining to each concept and the interconnections between them. Analyzing secondary sources, I will show that redistribution without recognition does not hold a transformative potential. Building on the transformative recognition/redistribution, I will show how the Duwamish Tribe and the Real Rent Duwamish movement partake in constitutive solidarity. Solidarity praxis, thus, has the potential to be constitutive and foster long-term solidarity while allowing for collective and separate development of both groups and transfer of responsibilities without neglecting the underlying solidarity mechanisms.

The Orthodox Church of Ukraine on the inter-Orthodox agenda at Amman: the dynamics of ecclesiastical recognition

ABSTRACT In February 2020 representatives of Orthodox churches met in Amman, Jordan to discuss the situation of Orthodoxy in Ukraine. The Amman meeting offers a snapshot of the inner dynamics and tensions in world Orthodoxy, where the autocephaly of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine (OCU) currently is a central concern. It sheds light on challenges facing the OCU and its capacity to pursue wider recognition through relationships and communion. After introducing the concepts of recognition and communion, the author examines the preparations, proceedings, and significance of the meeting in Amman. He concludes with a reflection on: (1) how Amman helps to situate the controversy around the OCU’s recognition squarely in the context of international Orthodoxy, and (2) why it is urgent for the churches in Ukraine and Russia to replace divisive speech and action with a renewed commitment to inter-Orthodox communion as an ethical imperative. Despite the polarization arising from the Russia–Ukraine conflict, the two churches face similar challenges in protecting their autonomous moral agency in the public sphere from political co-optation.

Empathy as core to the development of holding and recognition: the case of Garret.

Heinz Kohut investigated empathy in psychoanalysis in the mid-1950s and found it to be a powerful way to connect to, and be with, his patients. Since then, relatively few recent clinical cases of empathy have emerged, while theoretical discussion of empathy seems to be the norm. Moreover, empathy has not been linked to the development of holding and recognition. The Winnicottian notion of the holding metaphor, which describes the mother holding her infant, has been controversial but continues to be used in therapy. Revised by relational theorists, holding is now viewed as co-created within the intersubjective space. Few recent clinical cases exist showing how and what holding looks like in therapy. The concept of recognition, also used in therapy, is defined as the ability to recognize and experience the other as a separate other. Clinical cases showing recognition in therapy are few in number. As far as I know, no clinical cases suggest that empathy is necessary before holding and recognition can emerge. In this paper, identifying these clinical case gaps in the literature, I describe a small verbatim section of a session with my patient, Garret, in which I attempt to; i) show the empathic process, thus adding to the scarcity of clinical cases, and, ii) show the experience of holding and recognition as they emerge in this case, and iii) suggest that empathy is a necessary core process to the development of the experience of holding and recognition.

By means of squirrels and eggs

This article explores the relevance of an ostensibly unpretentious gift exchange of squirrels and eggs in order to illuminate how asymmetric kin ties among the Khmu Yuan of Northern Laos are realized. Employing the concept of mutual recognition, it will be shown that this particular gift exchange amounts to an act of mutual recognition between asymmetric kin that makes the recognized relationship efficacious vis-à-vis observing others and spirits. The power of the spirits not only to observe but also to intervene in the aftermath of receiving the wrong gift points to the potential drawbacks that this efficacy might have.

Shape Recognition Using V4 Dominant Conical Meshes

This research work introduces a new concept of shape recognition where we obtain a geometric form from some given parameters related to architecture geometry. They include cell face slope, edge length initial value of the vertical alignment and boundary vertices of the horizontal alignment. Here we construct a conical mesh with horizontal planar latitudes from initial horizontal and vertical alignments. For this purpose, analytic geometry, interpolation, data structures using Visual C++ Programming, computational geometry and CAD features are used

A new augmentation-based method for text detection in night and day license plate images

Despite a number of methods that have been developed for License Plate Detection (LPD), most of these focus on day images for license plate detection. As a result, license plate detection in night images is still an elusive goal for researchers. This paper presents a new method for LPD based on augmentation and Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) in night and day images. The augmentation involves expanding windows for each pixel in R, G and B color spaces of the input image until the process finds dominant pixels in both night and day license plate images of the respective color spaces. We propose to fuse the dominant pixels in R, G and B color spaces to restore missing pixels. For the results of fusing night and day images, the proposed method explores Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) patterns to eliminate false dominant pixels, which results in candidate pixels. The proposed method explores further GVF arrow patterns to define a unique loop pattern that represents hole in the characters, which gives candidate components. Furthermore, the proposed approach uses a recognition concept to fix the bounding boxes, merging the bounding boxes and eliminating false positives, resulting in text/license plate detection in both night and day images. Experimental results on night images of our dataset and day images of standard license plate datasets, demonstrate that the proposed approach is robust compared to the state-of-the-art methods. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we also tested our approach on standard natural scene datasets, namely, ICDAR 2015, MSRA-TD-500, ICDAR 2017-MLT, Total-Text, CTW1500 and MS-COCO datasets, and their results are discussed.

Vulnerable recognition: recovering Hegelian agonism

ABSTRACT In this paper, I argue that a conception of vulnerable recognition addresses both the shortcomings of conventional understandings of recognition and Patchen Markell’s provocative critique (and abandonment) of recognition theory in Bound by Recognition. First, I outline Markell’s critique of conventional recognition theory and his call for the politics of recognition to be replaced by a politics of acknowledgement that turns toward the self and welcomes contingency. Second, I propose a reframing of recognition as vulnerable in response to conventional recognition theory’s limitations. This more agonistic conception of recognition recaptures the dynamism of Hegelian recognition that has been lost in recent decades. It draws attention to the desires, structures, and practices that underpin misrecognition and calls for an embrace of vulnerability, ambiguity, and political risk.

Altering the Narrative of Champions: Recognition, Excellence, Fairness, and Inclusion

ABSTRACT This paper is an examination of the concept of recognition and its connection with identity and respect. This is related to the question of how women are or are not adequately recognised or respected for their achievements in sport and whether eliminating sex segregation in sport is a solution. This will require an analysis of the concept of excellence in sport, as well as the relationship between fairness and inclusion in an activity that is fundamentally about bodily movement. I argue that attempts to address the problem of women’s recognition in sport need to do so in ways that neither eliminate sport as a fairness-regulated system for developing individual excellence in bodily movement nor that prevent women’s achievement of sporting excellence, with the regard that belongs to them. Doing this requires us to decide whether sport is about champions or about individual excellence.

Influence of Provider Interaction on Patient's Readiness Toward Audiological Services and Technology.

Patients and providers recognize the importance of patient-centered care. Clinical interactions, however, suggest that audiologists maintain their traditional provider-centered approach. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the degree to which provider interaction influenced patient readiness toward audiological services using the neobehavioral concept of need recognition described in consumer decision-making. We used a randomized, within-group experimental approach using survey responses to quantify predisposed expectations on ten dimensions toward service and technology provision 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after an audiological assessment. Responses were also categorized as a function of the respondent-perceived professional setting of the provider (medical, rehabilitation, and consumer electronics). Survey respondents included 618 adults {186 males (mean age = 63.1 years; standard deviation [SD] = 5.3) and 432 females [mean age = 58.4 years; SD = 6.2]} from across the United States. Data were analyzed using two approaches. First, we used a two-step cluster analysis procedure that revealed natural groupings (i.e., profiles) of respondent characteristics of the ten dimensions. Second, we compared within-group mean differences between pre- and postappointment responses using a univariate analysis of variance, with mean differences reported as a function of professional setting and preappointment responses serving as the control condition. Results revealed that the predisposed expectation profiles among the ten dimensions differed among the professional settings, with rehabilitation having the highest mean response values and consumer electronics having the least mean response values. A descriptive analysis indicated that respondents in the rehabilitation and medical settings presented the greatest interest in amplification before the patient-provider interaction, but the least interest afterward. In addition, postappointment analyses revealed that providers failed statistically to meet patients' predisposed expectations in all three settings. Overall, most respondents' predisposed expectations were unmet during their interaction with an audiologist. These expectations differed across professional settings, with the greatest unmet expectations observed in the rehabilitative and medical settings. Patient readiness is influenced by the behavior of the provider which, at present, appears to be a barrier to patients' acceptance of treatment options.

Implicit Bias in Health Professions: From Recognition to Transformation

Implicit bias recognition and management curricula are offered as an increasingly popular solution to address health disparities and advance equity. Despite growth in the field, approaches to implicit bias instruction are varied and have mixed results. The concept of implicit bias recognition and management is relatively nascent, and discussions related to implicit bias have also evoked critique and controversy. In addition, challenges related to assessment, faculty development, and resistant learners are emerging in the literature. In this context, the authors have reframed implicit bias recognition and management curricula as unique forms of transformative learning that raise critical consciousness in both individuals and clinical learning environments. The authors have proposed transformative learning theory (TLT) as a guide for implementing educational strategies related to implicit bias in health professions. When viewed through the lens of TLT, curricula to recognize and manage implicit biases are positioned as a tool to advance social justice.
