A Hybrid Approach for Sports Activity Recognition Using Key Body Descriptors and Hybrid Deep Learning Classifier by Muhammad Tayyab, Sulaiman Abdullah Alateyah, Mohammed Alnusayri, Mohammed Alatiyyah, Dina Abdulaziz AlHammadi, Ahmad Jalal, Hui Liu

“…Various feature descriptors, including MSER (Maximally Stable Extremal Regions), SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Features), distance transform, and DOF (Degrees of Freedom), were applied to skeleton points, while BRIEF (Binary Robust Independent Elementary Features), HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients), FAST (Features from Accelerated Segment Test), and Optical Flow were used on silhouettes or full-body points to capture both geometric and motion-based features. Feature fusion was employed to enhance the discriminative power of the extracted data and the physical parameters calculated by different feature extraction techniques. …”

PRÁCTICAS PEDAGÓGICAS: FUNDAMENTO PARA ENSEÑAR LECTURA EN EL GRADO PRIMERO DE EDUCACIÓN PRIMARIA by María Isabel Varela Español

“…Por este motivo, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo: Comprender las prácticas pedagógicas como un fundamento para la enseñanza de la lectura en el grado primero de la educación básica primaria, para tal fin, se demandó de una consulta bibliográfica en la que se toman en cuenta diferentes premisas, como es el caso de las prácticas pedagógicas, así como también enseñanza de la lectura, y la fusión de ambas. Dentro de los resultados que emergieron de esta dinámica interpretativa, destaca la importancia que tiene el docente de los primeros grados de la educación primaria para que el estudiante se empodere de la lectura como uno de los medios que le permite avanzar en el campo del conocimiento. …”
