The Present article aims at making an in-depth study of Women Characters in George Bernard Shaw’s Plays in various directions. Shaw, the rationalist has drawn his women in unsentimental and unromantic terms. Most of his women are unpleasant women. As a matter of fact the world of Bernard Shaw has a large place for women. He honoured women showing in his plays that they were not only to be loved, but respected. Shaw was an almost perfect example of the shy man with an inferiority complex. Shaw's family situations and contemporary social conditions must have gone a long way in formulating his concept of woman. Shaw's inferiority complex and androgynous nature must have had considerable impact on his ideas on women.

Digital watermarking has been identified as an efficient tool to provide copyright authentication and protection of digital data. Robustness and Imperceptibility are the two key parameters in designing of watermarking system. It is always desired to design a watermarking system that provides excellent robustness to malicious attacks and the watermark is invisible to human eyes. The robustness and imperceptibility can be controlled by choosing an effective scaling factor. Scaling factor decides on the amount of insertion of watermark in the host image. Higher the value of scaling factor more visible the watermark will be in watermarked image, this leads to poor imperceptibility. However the increase in scaling factor leads to a more robust watermarking system. Finding a trade-off among both is the key issue of research in this area. This paper aims at describing the effect of selection of scaling factor on robustness and imperceptibility by taking different values of scaling factor during each watermarking process. The empirical analysis done in this work shows robustness can be improved at the cost of imperceptibility and vice-versa.

In today’s modern world, the human beings are affected with heart disease irrespective of the age. With the advancement of technological growth, predicting the availability of Heart diseases still remains a challenging issue. The difficulty of predicting the heart disease prevails due to the lack of availability of the symptoms. According to World Health Organization, 33% of population died due to heart diseases. For this, the diagnosis of heart diseases is made by complex combination of clinical data. With this overview, we have used Heart Disease Prediction dataset extracted from UCI Machine Learning Repository for predicting the level of heart disease. The prediction of heart disease classes are achieved in four ways. Firstly, the data set is preprocessed with Feature Scaling and Missing Values. Secondly, the raw data set is fitted to classifiers like logistic regression, KNN classifier, Support Vector Machine, Kernel Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, Random Forest and Decision Tree classifiers. Third, the raw data set is subjected to dimensionality reduction using Principal Component Analysis to project the dataset with important components. The dimensionality PCA reduced data set is fitted to the above-mentioned classifiers. Fourth, the performance comparison of raw data set and PCA reduced data set is done by analyzing the performance metrics like Precision, Recall, Accuracy and F-score. The implementation is done using python language under Spyder platform with Anaconda Navigator. Experimental results shows that Random forest is found to be effective with the accuracy of 89% without applying PCA, 85% with five component PCA and 86% with seven component PCA.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a collection of wireless biosensors worn on the body, in which each sensor node is capable of computing and communicating with other nodes or devices like smart phones, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), hand held devices etc,. The wearable nodes are powered by battery and need to be always functional for continuous remote monitoring of patients which demands that node life time has to be prolonged to the maximum extent. One of the best solutions for this issue is to go for data compression at the node. In this context, Compressive sensing (CS) based energy efficient compression algorithms have been developed and tested for 8 -bit and 10-bit resolution Photoplethesmogram (PPG) signal. Test data have been acquired from normal subjects using Arduino Uno R3. Validation of the algorithm has been carried out by applying on MIMIC-II database and acquired signals. It is found that the CS algorithm reconstruction quality diminishes for low resolution PPG data.

Conventional classroom teaching and learning of programming tends to be didactic, which is usually tends to be monotonous and less interesting. In learning programming – a subject that is deemed extremely challenging to master – such a situation can have a serious repercussion in that students can easily become unmotivated and demoralized to learn. As such, students need to use relevant learning tools that can stimulate and motivate them to learn such a course. Of late, many researchers have started using online game-based learning (GBL) tools to improve students’ motivation and performance. Invariably, most of the studies mainly focused on GBL tools to move avatars. As such, this study focuses on programming as the activities in such a game. In this study, the researchers used the prototyping model to develop an online GBL application called Prog-GBL by integrating the elements of mastery learning approach and ARCS model to help motivate students in learning programming. The evaluation of the Prog-GBL was carried out through a survey involving 30 students from one public university in Perak, Malaysia. The research findings showed that the use of such an online learning tool helped improve students’ motivation in learning programming. More revealingly, the four elements of ARCS, namely attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction were highly rated by the students, suggesting that the use of Prog-GBL can motivate students to learn the subject matter.

Empowerment of isolated and vulnerable communities in saving and preserving the environment is one of the development goals. Awareness of the communities plays an important role in saving and preserving the environment. The awareness cannot be separated from the level of knowledge about various things related to the environment itself. Knowledge that someone has may affect his/her attitude and behaviour. However, some people in the isolated and vulnerable communities do not know how to keep the environment clean and how to clear their land. Furthermore, some of the people do not care about their environment. This study aims to analyse environmental knowledge of Bonai ethnic isolated and vulnerable community of Rokan Hulu Regency of Riau province. Data of the study are collected from questionnaires, interviews and document analysis related to environmental knowledge of the isolated and vulnerable community. The method used in this study is the descriptive quantitative-qualitative method that describes the level of environmental knowledge of the community by using quantitative data.

This essay is an attempt to bring together experiences and research by the author related to the fields of gender, the Arctic, especially Greenland, and China. Comparison of these very divergent and different parts of the world in scale, population and size of the economy as well as legal and normative cultures is hardly possible. Nonetheless a gendered – and personal – perspective reveal similarities in development especially in relation to rapid social change, urbanization, globalization and climate and environmental challenges. The use of the essay as a genre has seemed to me particularly apt for this purpose of looking for links and similarities.

This article is about the legal situation for the many women who immigrated to the northernmost county in Norway, Finnmark, from North-West of Russia after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Their way of immigration was mostly through marriage to Norwegian men. To be foreign and new in a country could be difficult. How is their legal situation as newcomers? The complexity of problems will increase if they get children, divorce or move from Norway to Russia or the other way. Which authorities are to decide for them and which country’s laws are to be applied? The article also covers the legal situation for children born in such marriages such as status, custody, support and child abduction, and the situation when one of the spouses dies.
The Persuasion Process of Sponsorship and Nonsponsorship Activation and the Dual Mediation Model
Authors: Quintal Vanessa , Liu Matthew Tingchi , Unsal Fahri , Phau Ian
Published: September 2019

The current study introduces the Dual Mediation Model (DMM) as a user perspective framework to explore the persuasive process of sponsorship and nonsponsorship activation across countries and brands. Data were collected from 1,850 respondents in Australia, the US, Malaysia, and China
to examine consumer decision making for Adidas (i. e., sponsor) and Nike (i. e., nonsponsor) in the associations both brands have activated with the 2002–2014 FIFA World Cup (FWC). The majority of the hypotheses were supported, suggesting the DMM's ability to explain the impacts of sponsorship
and nonsponsorship activation on cognitive, affective, and conative behavior across countries. Significant differences were also perceived in the attitude–purchase intention relationship between Australia and the other countries for Adidas, and between the US and the other three countries
for Nike. Theoretically, the DMM presents researchers with a user perspective framework for the persuasion process in consumer decision making, which has been empirically tested and validated across four countries and two global brands. Managerially, findings reiterate to event organizers
and brand managers that sponsorship activation requires activational communication, which should culminate in unique positioning and differentiation for sponsor brands.
L’anarchisme, cet autre socialisme
Authors: Hamelin David , Lamy Jérôme
Published: September 2019

Cet article propose un état des lieux du renouveau, en France comme à l’étranger, des études sur l’anarchisme. Les auteurs soulignent notamment les enjeux anthropologico-politiques de l’attention nouvellement prêtée aux formes et mutations des cultures libertaires, la mise en lumière de figures jusqu’alors méconnues du mouvement, et surtout l’importance des circulations des acteurs et des idées dans la constitution d’un internationalisme libertaire, dont on commence à mesurer l’importance dans l’histoire de la globalisation des socialismes.
Aspects de l’histoire de l’anarchisme et du syndicalisme révolutionnaire en Afrique du Sud, des années 1880 aux années 1920
Authors: van der Walt Lucien , Loris Charlotte , Sibertin-Blanc Guillaume
Published: September 2019

Cet article examine les débuts de l’anarchisme et du syndicalisme révolutionnaire en Afrique du Sud, presque entièrement négligés dans la littérature existante. S’opposant à l’oppression et à la ségrégation raciales tout en critiquant le nationalisme noir africain et métisse, anarchistes et syndicalistes révolutionnaires développèrent une analyse de plus en plus complexe de l’oppression nationale. Ces courants imbriqués se sont transformés localement en un mouvement multiracial et anticapitaliste, centré sur une stratégie de construction d’une Grande Fédération Unifiée révolutionnaire comme moyen de libération de classe et nationale, et qui influencera encore le travail régional, blanc et noir, et la gauche en général, après la formation du Parti communiste d’Afrique du Sud en 1921.
Plus de rouge que de noir. L’expérience anarcho-syndicaliste de socialisation de l’industrie du cuir à Barcelone (1936-1938) : du renoncement anarchiste au dirigisme socialiste
Authors: Delhom Joël
Published: September 2019

Cet article étudie le mouvement syndical d’inspiration libertaire pendant la guerre d’Espagne, à travers l’expérience révolutionnaire dans l’industrie du cuir barcelonaise au cours de laquelle, alors que la CNT était en position de force, un dirigisme centralisateur socialiste finit par l’emporter sur l’idéal anti-autoritaire anarchiste. Récusant toute explication linéaire, il en interroge les facteurs multiples, entre impératifs militaires et de l’économie de guerre, évolution culturelle industrialiste de l’anarcho-syndicalisme, effets après-coup de choix stratégiques décidés dès juillet-août 1936.
Le socialisme culturel et communautaire de Gustav Landauer
Authors: Angaut Jean-Christophe
Published: September 2019

Cet article analyse, dans l’Appel au socialisme (1911) de Gustav Landauer, quelques caractéristiques du socialisme de ce libertaire qui se décrivait comme « anarchiste-socialiste », et en interroge la force d’interpellation pour le présent : un socialisme culturel, associé à une critique culturelle de la modernité capitaliste ; un socialisme anti-marxiste, qui refuse au prolétariat en tant que tel le rôle de sujet révolutionnaire ; un socialisme communautaire, qui revalorise les formes communautaires héritées du passé tout en prônant la constitution de nouvelles communautés où doit commencer ici et maintenant la future société socialiste.
La violence perverse en famille et ses effets psychosomatiques
Authors: Eiguer Alberto
Published: September 2019

Dans les familles, des troubles physiques sont observés chez des sujets vivant sous l’emprise de liens asymétriques de nature perverse narcissique. Ces liens se caractérisent par la dégradation de l’intégrité narcissique d’un des membres du lien avec affaiblissement de l’estime de soi, à la suite d’humiliations. La victime du pervers souffre d’évanouissements, d’affections allergiques, gastro-intestinales, articulaires, vasculaires ; des somatisations ou des maladies psychosomatiques, avec base anatomique. L’agent pervers développe à son tour des troubles physiques lorsqu’il perd sa position de supériorité et qu’il ne peut exprimer sa détresse, délirer ou halluciner. Entre les sujets du lien, l’attachement est faible ou inexistant. Absence de reconnaissance mutuelle : pour l’agent pervers, sa victime n’est pas considérée comme une personne ; il manque d’empathie envers elle. La victime peut réagir avec jouissance à son rabaissement, l’encourageant. Les crises corporelles semblent liées à l’impuissance à se débarrasser de ces chaînes. Les forces qui veillent sur l’autoconservation faiblissent. Des cas de TFP et TPC permettent d’illustrer ces idées.
Parenté entre concepts psychanalytiques groupaux en famille et contagion psychique
Authors: Loncan Anne
Published: September 2019

Les états psychiques que l’on rencontre dans les groupes et dans les familles ont fait l’objet de descriptions théorico-cliniques proches, à l’origine de la création de concepts parents, par exemple l’illusion sociétale (Freud, 1921), l’illusion groupale (Anzieu, 1971) et l’hypothèse de base « dépendance » (Bion, 1961). Des états opposés peuvent dériver des précédents ou leur succéder selon d’autres formes de parenté. À l’aide d’un exemple cinématographique particulièrement ad hoc , l’auteur présente quelques aspects de ces parentés et interroge le rôle et la valeur organisatrice du processus de contagion psychique qui assurerait la continuité entre des états psychiques groupaux opposés en même temps que la cohésion intrinsèque de chacun d’eux.
L’immersion dans le champ (virtuel) analytique
Authors: Tordo Frédéric
Published: September 2019

La situation analytique implique tous ses membres dans un processus dynamique, le champ . La surface de ce champ s’apparente à une hybridation des surfaces psychiques : la surface d’un protagoniste (analyste ou patient) s’étend pour rejoindre la surface d’un autre (ou d’autres, comme dans un groupe), formant une troisième surface de relation, celle même du champ. Pour faire l’expérience du champ, il semble donc nécessaire de franchir cette surface, de « plonger » au travers. C’est l’immersion analytique ; l’analogie avec l’immersion dans l’univers du jeu vidéo est évoquée. Aussi, le champ analytique n’existe qu’à partir du moment où les membres de la scène parviennent à s’immerger. Une clinique familiale permet d’illustrer ces hypothèses.
La contagion psychique de la haine familiale dans les fictions de Georges Bataille
Authors: Mohamed Ahmed
Published: September 2019

La haine familiale est exprimée dans les fictions de G. Bataille par la dévalorisation des fonctions parentales et plus particulièrement celles du père et de la mère. Les manifestations de la haine surgissent dans des situations familiales typiques et atteignent les mères, pères, époux, épouses, frères, sœurs. Religion, religieux, Dieu, symboles, pratiques et idéologies se trouvent bafoués, ridiculisés, destitués, désacralisés. Bataille procède, dans ses fictions, à une mise à mal radicale, à une transgression systématique des codes sur lesquels repose l’institution familiale traditionnelle. La fiction sert à l’auteur comme une sorte de cure, une manière d’exorciser ses blessures narcissiques de l’enfance et de l’adolescence.
Modalités d’identifications et de défenses chez des parents dont les bébés sont hospitalisés
Authors: Boubli Myriam
Published: September 2019

Pour survivre psychiquement et ne pas se désorganiser somatiquement, pour se protéger de la violence de la maladie qui atteint et fait souffrir leur bébé, les parents ont besoin de recourir à des défenses primaires. Ces défenses leur permettent de s’ajuster au mieux à leur bébé jusqu’à ce que leurs identifications sensorimotrices se dégèlent. Par contre, le recours massif, sur un temps long, à des défenses de type opératoire, mobilise des processualités dans la dynamique du négatif, de la désymbolisation, de la désubjectivation, créant de la désorganisation somatopsychique.
Le cadre et l’absence
Authors: Fischhof Catherine
Published: September 2019

L’auteure, psychothérapeute de couple et de famille, explore, à propos de la question de l’aménagement des dispositifs de psychothérapie de couple et de psychothérapie familiale, la notion de cadre, et de cadre interne de l’analyste en confrontant des auteurs qui ont développé ce concept psychanalytique : J. Bleger, A. Green, D. W Winnicott. Le cadre, lorsqu’il permet la fomentation imaginaire, remet de l’ordre dans les générations, et par ses effets de symbolisation permet de penser l’absence. Dans sa fonction d’étayage réflexif et de tiers, il contient un paradoxe qui n’est pas destiné à être résolu.
