Abstract:

This paper aims to argue that private equity funds play a critical role in the Korean economy and that their presence, now and in the future is essential. Moreover, domestic private equity funds will be complementary to foreign private equity funds, not a substitute, at lease for the time being. In arguing so, we will look into the investment experiences of foreign private equity funds and see how foreign private equity funds have helped transform the economy in the pose-financial crisis era. We will also look at the domestic private equity funds market co examine the replicability of private

Executive Summary This paper explores how qualitative information may be used to enhance understanding and inform recommendations for improved accounting of migrant deaths along the Texas-Mexico border. While border crossing related deaths affect jurisdictions throughout the US’s Southwestern border states and Northern Mexican states, Texas has unique challenges that merit specific examination. In short, the management and investigation of unidentified migrant decedents in Texas is severely fragmented and often noncompliant with Texas Criminal Code Procedure.

Abstract:

The process of Czech and Moravian immigration to Texas is a well-known phenomenon. Since 1848, tens of thousands decided to cross the ocean to seek a better future in the “Lone Star state.“ Although their history is well documented, there are still themes to be explored. Their religious activity and the connection it has created with their metropolis is one of them. The church and its institutions sent priests to America to attend to the immigrants in their mother tongue and helped them preserve their cultural identity. Furthermore, they organized the construction of their sacred places that w

Stellar masses (M *), star formation rates (SFRs), and star formation histories are computed by fitting spectral energy distributions using ProSpect. The results show that H i-selected galaxies prefer recent long-lasting, but mild star formation activity, while H i non-detections have earlier and more intense star formation activity. Based on

Doctors usually diagnose a disease by evaluating the pattern of abnormal blood vessels in the fundus. At present, the segmentation of fundus blood vessels based on deep learning has achieved great success, but it still faces the problems of low accuracy and capillary rupture. A good vessel segmentation method can guide the early diagnosis of eye diseases, so we propose a novel hybrid Transformer network (HT-Net) for fundus imaging analysis. HT-Net can improve the vessel segmentation quality by capturing detailed local information and implementing long-range information interactions, and it mai

With 537 million diabetics in 2021, this method can be time-consuming, costly and inadequate. Artificial intelligence algorithms can provide fast and cost-effective solutions for DR diagnosis.

Abstract:

Accurate segmentation of retinal vessels is an essential prerequisite for the subsequent analysis of fundus images. Recently, a number of methods based on deep learning have been proposed and shown to demonstrate promising segmentation performance, especially U-Net and its variants. However, tiny vessels and low-contrast vessels are hard to detect due to the issues of a loss of spatial details caused by consecutive down-sample operations and inadequate fusion of multi-level features caused by vanilla skip connections.

Abstract:

Retinal vessel segmentation is extremely important for risk prediction and treatment of many major diseases. Therefore, accurate segmentation of blood vessel features from retinal images can help assist physicians in diagnosis and treatment. Convolutional neural networks are good at extracting local feature information, but the convolutional block receptive field is limited. Transformer, on the other hand, performs well in modeling long-distance dependencies. Therefore, in this paper, a new network model MTPA_Unet is designed from the perspective of extracting connections between local detaile

Abstract:

Retinal vessel segmentation is crucial in the diagnosis of certain ophthalmic and cardiovascular diseases. Although U-shaped networks have been widely used for retinal vessel segmentation, most of the improved methods have insufficient feature extraction capability and fuse different network layers using element or dimension summation, leading to redundant information and inaccurate retinal vessel localization with blurred vessel edges. The asymmetry of small blood vessels in fundus images also increases the difficulty of segmenting blood vessels. To overcome these challenges, we propose a nov

Abstract:

This article analyses the public persona of Jeremy Gilley, a documentary filmmaker, peace campaigner, and the founder of the organisation Peace One Day (POD). It begins by outlining how Gilley’s persona is presented in a manner which resonates with established archetypes of social campaigners, and how this creates POD’s legitimacy among grassroots organisations. I then describe a distinct, but not inconsistent, facet of Gilley’s persona which speaks specifically to entrepreneurs. The article outlines how Gilley’s individuality works to simultaneously address these overlapping audiences and arg

Introduction For some time now there has been a strong critical framework that identifies a significant shift in the politics of homosexuality in the Anglo-oriented West over the last fifteen to twenty years. In this article I draw on this framework to describe the current moment in the Australian cultural politics of homosexuality. I focus on the issue of same-sex marriage as a key indicator of the currently emerging era. I then turn to two Australian texts about marriage that were produced in “the period before” this time, with the aim of recovering what has been partially lost from current

Such information helps to ensure a level playing field and encourage the effective participation of all social groups and partnership between different sectors.

Introduction In December 2010, Nespresso, the world’s leading brand of premium-portioned coffee, opened a flagship “boutique” in Sydney’s Pitt Street Mall. This was Nespresso’s fifth boutique opening of 2010, after Brussels, Miami, Soho, and Munich. The Sydney debut coincided with the mall’s upmarket redevelopment, which explains Nespresso’s arrival in the city: strategic geographic expansion is key to the brand’s growth. Rather than panoramic ubiquity, a retail option favoured by brands like McDonalds, KFC and Starbucks, Nespresso opts for iconic, prestigious locations. This strategy has been
