Real Time Acoustic Feature Analysis for Gender Identification
Authors: Jain Vanita , Chhabra Paras , Bhardwaj Mansi
Published: February 2019

Objective:

Humans with their developed senses can easily ascertain a person’s gender just
by listening to a few uttered words and it does not take any conscious additional effort to do so,
however, a machine cannot do the same unless trained. This research proposes a real time system to
identify a person’s gender from their voice.

Methods:

Features are extracted from the dataset and checked for outliers. Then a baseline classifier
is constructed to measure performance of the different models. Next the dataset is prepared for training
and five machine learning models, Decision Tree Classifier, Random Forest Classifier, K Nearest
Neighbours, Support Vector Machine and Gaussian Naive Bayes Classifier are applied. Finally,
real time prediction is done by taking speech input and analysing it against the trained model, after
input of speech the gender along with accuracy of prediction is displayed within 1.37s.

Results:

A maximum accuracy score of 88.19% is obtained using SVM. Additionally, the juxtaposition
of the feature importance graph highlights the two most important features which fuel this classification.
A combination of these features is then studied to design a less complex system and it is
observed that using just MFCCs and Chroma Vector a near optimal accuracy score of 87.78% is obtained.

Conclusion:

Identification of gender prior to applying speech recognition and emotion recognition
algorithm can help in reduction of the search space. Further, using only MFCC and Chroma Vector
can make the system memory efficient and yet provide near optimal accuracy. The system can be
used as an authentication mechanism and can be installed in public places.

Hoe realistisch is het ideaal van de wetenschapper die, enkel gewapend met zijnobjectieve kennis, maatschappelijke problemen ofwijdverbreide misverstanden aande kaak stelt? Niet zo realistisch blijkt uit dit nummer. Heden ten dage opererenwetenschappers in een schemergebied waarin politiek, beleid en waarheidsvindingsoms op problematische wijze in elkaar overlopen. Wetenschappers moeten hunschijnobjectiviteit laten varen, maar hun onderzoek niet tot politiek laten reduceren.
Intellectuelen en hegemonie: Het neoliberalisme en haar tegenstanders
Authors: Riedmann Erwin , Mohr Katrin
Published: February 2019

Intellectuelen worden vaak beschouwd als de academisch opgeleide elite die op onafhankelijke wijze oplossingen zoekt voor maatschappelijke problemen. Antonio Gramsci meent echter dat hun werk nauw verbonden is met klassenbelangen en verschuivende machtsverhoudingen. Zo legitimeren en bestendigen  'traditionele' intellectuelen de positie van de heersende klasse, al menen ze dat ze daar boven staan. De ontstaansgeschiedenis en caosolidering van het neoliberalisme is in dit opzicht illustratief. Een analyse levert eveneens inzichten in de mogelijkheden voor intellectuelen die zich verbinden met de andersglobalisten, een beweging die het neoliberalisme omver wil werpen.

The ‘Dial Hand’ Epilogue: by Shakespeare, or Dekker?
Authors: Vickers Brian
Published: February 2019

During Shrovetide 1599 a play was performed before Queen Elizabeth at Richmond Palace, an occasion for which an epilogue ‘To the Quene’ was written to be spoken by an actor. Discovered in 1972, its first editors tentatively ascribed it to Shakespeare. Two scholars, Michael Hattaway and Helen Hackett, subsequently ascribed it to Dekker, but John Nance has recently revived the Shakespeare attribution, and the poem has been included in The New Oxford Shakespeare. This essay reviews the evidence, concluding that it was indeed written by Dekker. Jonson has also been proposed, having used the same verse form as the epilogue (trochaic tetrameter couplets), but a comparison shows that Jonson’s are in strict trochaics, with each line clearly separated. Dekker’s usage conforms to that of the epilogue, with more run-on lines and iambic metre interspersed. Hattaway had pointed out that the epilogue is also a prayer for the Queen’s well-being, citing other examples ending plays composed during her reign. The key verb form for such prayers is the optative mode, in which the speaker’s hopes and wishes are expressed by the word ‘may’. A search of Dekker’s plays and civic entertainments reveals that he frequently used such formulae, and in many cases echoes the exact wording of the ‘Dial Hand’ poem. Finally, the Shakespeare parallels cited by Nance are shown to be inappropriate.
In Defence of Kyd: Evaluating the Claim for Shakespeare’s Part Authorship of Arden of Faversham
Authors: Freebury-Jones Darren
Published: February 2019

MacDonald P. Jackson first argued for Shakespeare’s part authorship of Arden of Faversham in his university dissertation in 1963. He has devoted several articles to developing this argument, summarized in his monograph Determining the Shakespeare Canon (2014). Jackson’s part ascription has led to the inclusion of the domestic tragedy in The New Oxford Shakespeare. However, Jackson and his New Oxford Shakespeare colleagues have either dismissed or neglected the evidence for Thomas Kyd’s sole authorship presented by other scholars. This essay focuses primarily on Jackson’s monograph and argues that the evidence for adding the play to Kyd’s canon, encompassing phraseology, linguistic idiosyncrasies, and verse characteristics, seems solid.

Authors: Budiyanti Rani Tiyas , Herlambang Penggalih Mahardika , Nandini Nurhasmadiar
Published: February 2019

Background: Personalized medicine is one of the health treatment approaches that has developed in the last ten years. This treatment is specific because it considers the genomics of patients and requires a complete database or medical record covering clinical and genomic data. Nevertheless, there are ethical and legal challenges in the implementation of electronic medical records in personalized medicine.Objective: This study aimed  to determine the ethical and legal challenges in the use of electronic medical records in personalized medicine based on previous literature.Methods: The method used in this study was literature review with sources from journals, books, and articles on electronic medical records, personalized medicine, as well as legal and ethical aspects related both domestically and abroad. Results: Ethical and legal challenges that can occurred in the use of electronic medical records in the personalized medicine era include security and ownership of data, legal responsibility, genomic discrimination, and changes in the relationship between doctors and patients.Conclusion: Indonesia does not yet have specific regulations regarding data security, data ownership, and data sharing in the health sector. Further regulations regarding the use of electronic medical records in the personalized era are needed so that their implementation does not conflict with the ethics and laws that apply in Indonesia
Student Led Area Measurement Assessments Using Virtual Globes and Pictometry Web-based Interface within an Undergraduate Spatial Science Curriculum
Authors: Kulhavy David , Hung I-Kuai , Unger Daniel , Zhang Yanli
Published: February 2019

The use of Virtual Globes and Pictometry continues to expand and develop in undergraduate spatial science education. Spatial science undergraduates measured the area of 30 rectangles on the earth’s surface and compared them to Pictometry hyperspectral imagery measurements within a web-based interface and the Google Earth interface compared to ArcGIS Explorer, Map Developers and ArcMap using the ArcMap 10.5.2 interface. An analysis of variance of the absolute mean area errors (p-value of 0.009271) concluded the accuracy of the five area measurements were statistically different at the 95% confidence interval. A Tukey pair-wise test found that the Pictometry and Google Earth methods were more accurate than the ArcGIS Explorer, Map Developers and ArcMap methods. The lowest standard deviation of errors (72.6 sq. ft.) for Pictometry was the most accurate and precise method for on-screen area measurement, followed by Google Earth (SD = 205.0 sq. ft.). The high variation of area measurement error from ArcMap, Map Developers, and ArcGIS Explorer made them less reliable as an alternative to field measurements with ArcMap the worst (SD = 915.1 sq. ft.). The results indicate that Pictometry and Google Earth could both be used to accurately estimate area using on-screen measurements compared to in situ area measurement assessments.
Some Controversial and Important Issues about Shadow Banking Research
Authors: Li Chenqi , Wu Tong
Published: February 2019

After the outbreak of the international financial crisis in 2008, the concept of shadow banking was first put forward by the financial circles in the United States. In the past ten years, the development of the shadow banking has been a great deal of researches and great achievements made in the academia and the industry. However, there are still some problems that have not been effectively solved or disputed. This paper extracts the periodicity of the CIS and converse of shadow bank, the influence of the shadow banking on the effectiveness of monetary policy, the portrayed “channel identification” of the shadow banking to the monetary policy response, and the discrimination of the influence of the shadow banking on the house price, and through the combing of the related contents. Reflection and re-study, in order to provide a valuable reference for the relevant researchers.
Dissolving the Dualism between Rational-Irrational Beings
Authors: Sahinidou Ioanna
Published: February 2019

Christological perichoresis (Note 1) becomes in my view, the revelation of trinitarian perichoresis for the whole of creation. The problem of dualisms with which feminists try to cope with can be known as a problem between humans and God that results in distorted relationships within our own selves, among humans and between humans, and the rest of creation. I addressed the eco-social problem as a split within our own being of body/mind/soul. The inferiority of women is linked to that of body when compared to soul, and to that of nature as being an object while humans are subjects.

ИКТ-рынок: борьба за души
Authors: Голышко А. , Шуб В.
Published: February 2019

Вот уже более 20 лет один важный вопрос будоражит умы всех, кто имеет отношение к ИКТ-рынку: должны ли поставщики сервисов платить операторам связи за использование их инфраструктуры или же операторы должны за свой счет развивать собственную ИКТ-инфраструктуру вослед за ростом трафика контент-провайдеров? Или, иначе, что в ИКТ-мире важнее: "трубы" и их "сантехники" – или струящаяся по ним "музыка" с ее "музыкантами"? Все это проистекало вне поля зрения потребителя, которому, по большому счету, безразлично, кто кому платит – лишь бы на конце "трубы" было побольше "музыки" ценою подешевле. Так оно поначалу и было.
La cultura y los medios de comunicación bajo la dinámica de la “mano invisible" del mercado
Authors: Esteinou Madrid Javier
Published: February 2019

El proceso de transformación moderna experimentado por México desde 1982 a la fecha, en particular, con las acciones para consolidar el TLC con Estados Unidos y Canadá, están produciendo profundos cambios en las estructuras económicas, políticas, sociales, agrícolas, tecnológicas, mentales, legales, de nuestro país. Éstas, a su vez, están modificando los sistemas de vida, organización, trabajo, educación, producción, competencia, entre otros, de la mayoría de la población nacional. Dichas modificaciones no sólo están impactando en la base económica y política de la sociedad mexicana, sino sobre todo en la estructura cultural e informativa. Ante este panorama de creciente desigualdad comunicativa y espiritual que se establece en nuestra República debido a la incidencia de las leyes del mercado, es necesario que el Estado mexicano cree las condiciones de otro equilibrio cultural a través de la elaboración de una nueva política de comunicación social para el desarrollo, que actualmente no existe, y se requiere urgentemente para coexistir como nación.
El futuro del periodismo en el mundo globalizado. Tendencias actuales
Authors: Romero Álvarez Lourdes
Published: February 2019

Este artículo plantea la lucha entre las dos concepciones de la actividad periodística que presenciamos en nuestros días: el periodismo de los hechos y el periodismo crítico. En un mundo globalizado, donde predominan las nuevas tecnologías, la desaparición de las fronteras, los nuevos nacionalismos y la universalización de lo regional, la lucha por el predominio de estas dos corrientes parece favorecer al periodismo de los hechos. La añeja idea positivista de que la objetividad está en los hechos se ha revitalizado al asimilar los recursos puestos al día por el “nuevo periodismo” y sus descendientes. No obstante, el periodismo crítico adquiere cada día más el arsenal teórico que le permitirá ser la alternativa desmitificadora.

Globalización e intereses empresariales organizados en México
Authors: Salas-Porras Alejandra
Published: February 2019

En este artículo la autor se propone investigar las conexiones existentes entre el proceso de globalización y las nuevas formas de intermediación de los intereses empresariales en México. Para tal efecto, analiza las estructuras de intermediación empresarial en los niveles macro (cupular) y meso (sectorial). Los sectores examinados –valores, banca, acero, construcción, cemento y textiles- sufren profundos cambios en la estructura de las redes de política pública desencadenados, en su mayoría, por reformas políticas y económicas. Concluye que, aun cuando exista una mayor redistribución de los papeles de formulación de políticas del Estado hacia agencias privadas, la tendencia parece avanzar lenta e irregularmente debido a la inestabilidad y dependencia económicas.
Más allá del teorema de la imposibilidad política de la reforma agraria
Authors: Herring Ronald J.
Published: February 2019

El autor se propone explorar vías para entender las condiciones políticas que alivien la pobreza mediante la reforma agraria. Argumenta que la visión tradicional de la reforma agraria y sus políticas, prácticamente imposibles dentro de las configuraciones políticas típicas, es demasiado limitada. El enfoque económico tradicional es la intersección entre los derechos sobre la tierra, la agricultura y la pobreza, debe ampliarse para incorporar cambios tecnológicos resultado de la revolución biológica, así como la importancia de los sistemas ecológicos que soportan tanto a la agricultura como a las estrategias de supervivencia de los pobres. El enfoque político tradicional de las clases agrarias necesita ampliarse para incluir “nuevos movimientos sociales” y sus aliados nacionales e internacionales. Argumenta que el método más seguro para abatir la pobreza en las sociedades rurales es la redistribución de tierras, pues aunque existan otras medidas para aliviar la pobreza, están más sujetas a distorsiones inducidas por la desigualdad y que uno de los principales factores de ésta es la inequitativa distribución de la tierra. Herring concluye que la agenda política de reformas en pro de los pobres debe conservar los elementos centrales del proyecto agrario y a la vez reconocer el potencial de coaliciones más grandes en pro de los pobres. Estos elementos incluyen integridad ambiental y regeneración, derechos de la mujer, derechos humanos, supervivencia cultural y democratización. Aunque el análisis no pretende reemplazar clases por política de identidad posmodernista, sí enfatiza la realidad de las nuevas posibilidades de coalición.

La importancia de las ideologías de los partidos políticos en la propaganda electoral
Authors: Aguirre Ramírez Laura Marina
Published: February 2019

Este artículo analiza la importancia del marketing en la comunicación política visto como un hipercódigo: "Por hipercódigo entendemos un código que opera sobre otro, y sólo así, es decir, que se monta en otro y lo usa. Al hacerlo anula la potencialidad discursiva del último" (Molina y Vedia, 1999: 200). Considerado de esta forma, el hipercódigo del marketing impone su propia lógica al código político, se abandona la perspectiva política para buscar las aspiraciones y deseos de segmentos, situados en el ámbito de la oferta y la demanda en un horizonte de maximización.

Managing Cash and Stocks
Authors: Burgess Dr Cathy
Published: February 2019

This chapter considers the two main physical items that have potential for control problems – cash and stocks. They are part of what’s known as the ‘cycle of working capital’. We’ve seen in earlier chapters some of the ways in which these can be managed effectively but we will now concentrate on specific areas for control. First we will look at cash being both received and paid. Second, we will consider the flow of stock and the various stages at which problems can occur.
By the end of this chapter you will, therefore, be able to:
- Describe the cycle of working capital
- Identify the various stages at which cash moves in and out of the business
- Identify the various stages through which stock moves around the business
- Discuss methods of control appropriate to the operation
- Calculate ratios relevant to cash and stock control.
Planning and Monitoring Usage
Authors: Burgess Dr Cathy
Published: February 2019

This chapter aims to show how costs can be planned and their usage controlled through ‘standard costing’. In Chapter 4 we looked at the monitoring of costs and in Chapter 5 at pricing. Here we will consider how to plan spending the correct amount on raw materials. This can be fairly complex in terms of recipes, and a loss of standards can easily cause significant cost variances.
We will then look at identifying deviations from these standards – what is due to variances in price, and what is due to variances in quantity used. We will also consider the specific problems of food and beverage materials, which can cause them to be so difficult to manage.
Standard costing techniques can also be used in other areas. We discussed the management of labour cost earlier, but you can also use the technique to monitor labour cost where a flexible workforce is employed and where productivity is important to the profitability of the business. A further use for the technique is in identifying variations in revenue and considering whether these differences are due to volume or price (or both).
By the end of this chapter you will, therefore, be able to:
- Identify the features of food and beverage raw materials that affect their controllability
- Discuss briefly the process for costing recipes
- Calculate variances according to volume and price
- Use the procedure for labour and other cost variances
- Identify differences in revenues, also due to volume and price.
Forecasting
Authors: Burgess Dr Cathy
Published: February 2019

Within every business there’s a need to plan ahead. If we didn’t then there’s a likelihood of not having enough food to cook, not enough staff to serve or lots of empty rooms. You could also have too many staff, or too much food, which would lead to wastage and unnecessary expense.
Forecasting is a simple technique that lets any manager plan for the more efficient working of their area, and use of resources. Generally forecasting means to ‘look ahead’ but in hospitality we use it to mean planning on a short-term basis – that is: tomorrow, next week, next month. The term ‘budget’ is used to mean a formal, detailed plan for the next financial year and a ‘strategic plan’ is used for long-term (around five years) planning. We will look at these two briefly towards the end of this chapter but the main purpose is to look at forecasting and to see the effect of not planning ahead from both customer service and financial aspects. We’ll also look at predicting cash flows, which helps the business manage their working capital.
By the end of this chapter, therefore, you will be able to:
- Understand the importance of forecasting to the business
- Calculate profits from forecasted volumes
- Differentiate between budgeting and strategic planning
- Calculate a cash forecast.
Introduction to Hospitality Controls
Authors: Burgess Dr Cathy
Published: February 2019

In this first chapter we will introduce the concept of ‘control’ and hospitality in general. We’ll also look at the function of the financial control office where some of the control processes take place. As you’ll see as we work through further chapters, much of control happens in the operating departments – so control is a business-wide function, not just an accounting one.
By the end of this chapter you should be able to:
- Understand the basic approach of this book
- Define what a business is and the main reason for control
- Describe the main features of the different sectors of the industry
- Describe the various activities of the financial control office.
Managing Costs
Authors: Burgess Dr Cathy
Published: February 2019

In the previous chapter we discussed revenue and identified a range of areas where it can be improved by either sales or control techniques. However, in reality there may be only limited opportunities for you to improve revenues, or you may not have them at all. You then need to look at the other side of the P
Being Part of a Company
Authors: Burgess Dr Cathy
Published: February 2019

Some of you may work in a very small business, where you know the owner and everybody else in the organisation. The majority of the businesses in hospitality are small – pubs, restaurants, cafes, visitor attractions and so on.
But for others, you may feel that you are a very small part of a very large organisation. Some hospitality companies are enormous – and may well be part of an even larger conglomerate (a multi-industry, multinational corporation). Businesses change ownership frequently – some of the big names of five years ago are no longer around in the same way, and other previously small names are now big ones.
Whatever the size of the business, you do count, and in this chapter we want to
show you how you fit into the larger organisation – whether for now or for the future. We will look at the types of ownership and then the structure of companies and the type of accounts that they do. Later on we will consider two other ways that businesses can operate – under franchise and by management contract – where the building is owned by one entity but run by another.
By the end of this chapter, therefore, you should be able to:
- Distinguish between the different types of company ownership
- Describe the basic format of a company report
- Describe the differences between a franchise and a management contract.
Managing Revenue
Authors: Burgess Dr Cathy
Published: February 2019

Maximising revenues is as important as minimising costs to achieve profits. The usual (sales and marketing or revenue management) approach is to try and gain additional business – and we will cover some of this here. However, since this is a book about control we’ll be looking more at ways of ensuring that you get all your revenue from existing customers.
If you work in a section where only costs occur, much of this chapter may seem irrelevant, but you may have ‘revenue’ from a subsidy or allowance and you certainly still have customers. I hope you will gain an insight into practices in other sectors that may help you in the future, if not just now.
You have to ensure that everything a customer consumes is actually paid for and that you aren’t giving it away, wasting it or losing it to fraud. This applies to a take-away, a drink, a package holiday or a five-star meal – all can lose revenues by inadequate control. In some sectors this may be more obvious as they have much stronger control mechanisms – in others it may be difficult to see easily where problems might occur.
We look at pricing in Chapter 5 but it’s important to recognise now that there shouldn’t be a conflict between marketing and control – the stakeholder approach means that everybody is interested in the business doing well. The controller wants good revenues as well as the marketing or revenue manager because this should result in good profits, which means good employment for them (in all its aspects).
By the end of this chapter you should be able to:
- Identify the features which may impact on revenue maximisation
- Understand the differences between revenue management and revenue control
- Identify where shortfalls can occur, using ratios
- Calculate ratios for a range of revenue areas
- Utilise methods of improving revenues.
Understanding Management Reports
Authors: Burgess Dr Cathy
Published: February 2019

In this chapter we’ll look at the main type of report that you will need to help you manage your area better – the profit and loss report. For different departments you’ll see reports that include not only monetary figures but also percentages for the actual amounts, the amounts that were budgeted, and the difference between them. Later in the chapter we’ll see how to use these.
There are also statements used by the general manager – a summary profit and loss (P
Pricing to Achieve Profit
Authors: Burgess Dr Cathy
Published: February 2019

One of the most important techniques for managers to understand is how to price a product to attract customers – and also to achieve a profit (or at least cover all the costs). If you can be aware of all the different factors that influence a price (and not just what the customer is prepared to pay) then you will be able to generate both revenue and profit from your products and services.
Another helpful technique is to know how many you need to sell of a product or service at a given price to cover all the costs – this is called the ‘break-even point’.
By the end of this chapter you will be able to:
- Describe the factors that influence pricing decisions
- Identify the most appropriate pricing method for a product or service
- Calculate a price to achieve a profit
- Calculate how many products or services you need to sell to reach the break-even point.
