“…Through an ethnography of beauty contests organized in a Kakataibo Native Community (Peruvian Amazon), this article examines on the one hand the young Kakataibo women’s experience of femininity, and on the other hand, the relations of Kakataibo with the non-indigenous population of the region. In contrast to the beauty contests organized in other indigenous contexts which expose and affirm cultural difference or ethnicity, the Kakataibo version aims to stage the figure of the white woman transformed into an object of desire. …”

Enabling Dynamic Sensor Configuration and Cooperation in Opportunistic Activity Recognition Systems by Marc Kurz, Gerold Hölzl, Alois Ferscha

“…Opportunistic activity recognition as research discipline is characterized by the fact that human activities (and more generally the context) shall be recognized with sensors that are initially unknown to the system. In contrast to “traditional” applications—where sensors, their modalities, locations, and working characteristics have to be defined at design time—opportunistic systems do not rely on an initially defined and fixed sensing infrastructure. …”

Detectability constraints on meso-scale structure in complex networks. by Rudy Arthur

“…We then derive a general equivalence between optimising block modularity and maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of the degree corrected Stochastic Block Model. This allows us to contrast the two approaches, how they formalise the structure detection problem and understand these constraints in inferential versus descriptive approaches to meso-scale structure detection.…”
