Pattern Recognition
This three-volume set LNCS 14406-14408 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th Asian Conference on Pattern Recognition, ACPR 2023, held in Kitakyushu, Japan, in November 2023. The 93 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 164 submissions. The conference focuses on four important areas of pattern recognition: pattern recognition and machine learning, computer vision and robot vision, signal processing, and media processing and interaction, covering various technical aspects.
Entangled Interactions between Religion and National Consciousness in Central and Eastern Europe
This book elucidates the complicated relationship between religion and national consciousness in the modern world, highlighting various cases within Central and Eastern Europe. Through these analyses, contributors demonstrate how religion, far from disappearing, strongly impacted the emerging national consciousness. Starting with the pre-modern era, essays examine the long-term transformation of religious, political, and social situations of the region. In addition, the book considers the impact of imperial powers, which tended to be linked with a universal religion. Light is also shed on the multifaceted nature of nations, which contribute to a new vision of the historical transformation of the region that enriches the general theories of nationalism.
Latvia in World War II
Valdis Lumans provides an authoritative, balanced, and comprehensive account of one of the most complex, and conflicted, arenas of the Second World War. Struggling against both Germany and the Soviet Union, Latvia emerged as an independent nation state after the First World War. In 1940, the Soviets occupied neutral Latvia, deporting or executing more than 30,000 Latvians before the Nazis invaded in 1941 and installed a puppet regime. The Red Army expelled the Germans in 1944 and reincorporated Latvia as a Soviet Republic. By the end of the war, an estimated 180,000 Latvians fled to the West. The Soviets would deport at least another 100,000. Drawing on a wide range of sources--many brought together here for the first time--Lumans synthesizes political, military, social, economic, diplomatic, and cultural history. He moves carefully through traditional sources, many of them partisan, to scholarship emerging since the end of the Cold War, to confront such issues as political loyalties, military collaboration, resistance, capitulation, the Soviet occupation, anti-Semitism, and the Latvian role in the Holocaust.
Speech and Computer
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Speech and Computer, SPECOM 2017, held in Hatfield, UK, in September 2017. The 80 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 150 submissions. The papers present current research in the area of computer speech processing (recognition, synthesis, understanding etc.) and related domains (including signal processing, language and text processing, computational paralinguistics, multi-modal speech processing, human-computer interaction).
Rus - Ukraine - Russia
An outspoken opponent of pro-Russian, authoritarian, and far-right streams in contemporary Czech society, Martin C. Putna received a great deal of media attention when he ironically dedicated the Czech edition of Russ–Ukraine–Russia to Miloš Zeman—the pro-Russian president of the Czech Republic. This sense of irony, combined with an extraordinary breadth of scholarly knowledge, infuses Putna’s book. Examining key points in Russian cultural and spiritual history, Russ–Ukraine–Russia is essential reading for those wishing to understand the current state of Russia and Ukraine—the so-called heir to an “alternative Russia.” Putna uses literary and artistic works to offer a rich...
Understanding Ethnopolitical Conflict

Perestrojka, pobaltské republiky a Československo 1988-1991
Kniha o vztahovém trianglu mezi Sovětským svazem, Pobaltím a Československem v letech 1988-1991 si pokládá otázku analogie i asymetričnosti demokratizačních a emancipačních procesů souvisejících s krizí sovětského vnějšího a vnitřního impéria. Zabývá se analýzou podnětů, prolínání a vzájemných vlivů sametové revoluce v Československu a "zpívající revoluce" v Pobaltí. Výzkum těchto vztahů má význam pro pochopení peripetií evoluce litevské a v širším smyslu celé pobaltské otázky v kontextu československé politiky. Pozornost je věnována také váze a způsobu fungování stimulačních faktorů i brzd pro obnovení vztahů s Litvou a ostatními pobaltskými republikami, do nichž se zároveň promítala úroveň vztahů se Sovětským svazem. Vnímání pobaltské otázky souviselo s postojem vedení československého státu i společnosti nejen k pobaltské revoluci, ale zároveň ke gorbačovské perestrojce, k demontáži komunistického systému a následnému rozpadu Sovětského svazu.
