An Insight Into Dementia Care in India
With the rapidly increasing population of the elderly in the country, dementia is increasingly becoming a cause for major concern. Apart from the patient, the disease also has a significant impact on caregivers and the patient’s family. This book outlines the existing research studies on dementia and explores the caregiving scenario in the country. Among other issues, the book explores the following areas: - Epidemiology, common types and causes of dementia - Caregiver activities and daily chores - Person-centred care and support - Assessment and management of dementia patients - Psychosocial interventions in the Indian context - Resources and services available in India Based on original research, this book will help bridge the gap between the dementia-related literature of the West and care-giving practices in India. This book will serve as a reference book for students and research scholars studying Psychology, Psychiatric Nursing, Social Work, and Rehabilitation. Professionals like Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Social Workers, Nurses, and paramedics and caregivers working with the elderly will also find the book to be valuable.
Extraction of Prosody for Automatic Speaker, Language, Emotion and Speech Recognition
This updated book expands upon prosody for recognition applications of speech processing. It includes importance of prosody for speech processing applications; builds on why prosody needs to be incorporated in speech processing applications; and presents methods for extraction and representation of prosody for applications such as speaker recognition, language recognition and speech recognition. The updated book also includes information on the significance of prosody for emotion recognition and various prosody-based approaches for automatic emotion recognition from speech.
Forensic Speaker Recognition
Forensic Speaker Recognition: Law Enforcement and Counter-Terrorism is an anthology of the research findings of 35 speaker recognition experts from around the world. The volume provides a multidimensional view of the complex science involved in determining whether a suspect’s voice truly matches forensic speech samples, collected by law enforcement and counter-terrorism agencies, that are associated with the commission of a terrorist act or other crimes. While addressing such topics as the challenges of forensic case work, handling speech signal degradation, analyzing features of speaker recognition to optimize voice verification system performance, and designing voice applications that me...

The Avar Siege of Constantinople in 626
This book examines the Avar siege of Constantinople in 626, one of the most significant events of the seventh century, and the impact and repercussions this had on the political, military, economic and religious structures of the Byzantine Empire. The siege put an end to the power politics and hegemony of the Avars in South East Europe and was the first attempt to destroy Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. Besides the far-reaching military factors, the siege had deeper ideological effects on the mentality of the inhabitants of the Empire, and it helped establish Constantinople as the spiritual centre of eastern Christianity protected by God and his Mother. Martin Hurbanič discusses, from a chronological and thematic perspective, the process through which the historical siege was transformed into a timeless myth, and examines the various aspects which make the event a unique historical moment in the history of mankind – a moment in which the modern story overlaps with the legend with far-reaching effects, not only in the Byzantine Empire but also in other European countries.
