Physical punishment at schools in Iran continued until being banned by the Ministry of Education in September 1960. The author spent four years at “Safa” school in the north area of Tehran, in Iran from 1953 to 1957. In this book he recalls the social and educational conditions of those years, the morale and status of students and the teachers’ way of thinking. He also discusses the prevailing culture of physical punishments and the hardships the students endured along with their entertainments, recreations and access to academic facilities. He wants to show what devastating effects beatings and physical punishments have on children and what irreparable and lasting impacts they leave on the soul of children in the form of anxiety, panic and permanent fear. The pain of being beaten and punished was not just for the students, but the ones who did it also suffered from the memory of their actions in the course of time. Some regretted their mistakes and oppressions. There were some teachers among them who were sensitive by nature and were aware that physical punishment was not right. However, the social structure of that time required the beatings.
This book presents a remarkable collection of chapters covering a wide range of topics in the areas of Computer Vision, both from theoretical and application perspectives. It gathers the proceedings of the Computer Vision Conference (CVC 2019), held in Las Vegas, USA from May 2 to 3, 2019. The conference attracted a total of 371 submissions from pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students all around the world. These submissions underwent a double-blind peer review process, after which 120 (including 7 poster papers) were selected for inclusion in these proceedings. The book’s goal is to reflect the intellectual breadth and depth of current research on computer vision, from classical to intelligent scope. Accordingly, its respective chapters address state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems, while also outlining future research directions. Topic areas covered include Machine Vision and Learning, Data Science, Image Processing, Deep Learning, and Computer Vision Applications.
This 2 volume set comprises of the 3rd edition of Volume 1 and the 4th edition of Volume 2, both published in 2014. In recent years, we've developed a much better grasp of the factors associated with the development of obesity. New clinical trials, discoveries related to drug use, and greater understanding of the benefits of weight loss in obese patients have expanded the field of research in this area. Reflecting our evolving understanding of causes and consequences, this two-volume set examines the history and prevalence of obesity and explores its biological, behavioral, environmental, social, and cultural determinants. It discusses the consequences of obesity, prevention, evaluation of the overweight patient, and a range of treatment options, including behavior modification, diet, exercise, medications, and surgical procedures.
Hepatitis, the leading indication for liver transplantation, is a straight-forward disease when it comes to diagnosis: it is a disease of pathology and is diagnosed by liver biopsy, with the result being either positive or negative. There is only one effective treatment: interferons. Nonetheless, new interferons are appearing on the market and Drs Foster and Goldin examine the use of each of these in the management of chronically infected patients. The authors have written a succinct, highly illustrated text for all those interested in the management of viral hepatitis.
