The ‘Wazirganj Terror Attack’: Sectarian Conflict and the Middle Classes by Raphael Susewind

“…The political economy of real estate and local politics are argued to have motivated the attack, but the attackers miscalculated and lost control of the incident. The subsequent escalation can only be understood in light of Shi’a clerical competition over new moral registers and an emerging middle class morality that replaces ethical concern for solidarity with narrow codes of ‘proper’ conduct. …”

YOLO-IAPs: A Rapid Detection Method for Invasive Alien Plants in the Wild Based on Improved YOLOv9 by Yiqi Huang, Hongtao Huang, Feng Qin, Ying Chen, Jianghua Zou, Bo Liu, Zaiyuan Li, Conghui Liu, Fanghao Wan, Wanqiang Qian, Xi Qiao

“…Invasive alien plants (IAPs) present a significant threat to ecosystems and agricultural production, necessitating rigorous monitoring and detection for effective management and control. To realize accurate and rapid detection of invasive alien plants in the wild, we proposed a rapid detection approach grounded in an advanced YOLOv9, referred to as YOLO-IAPs, which incorporated several key enhancements to YOLOv9, including replacing the down-sampling layers in the model’s backbone with a DynamicConv module, integrating a Triplet Attention mechanism into the model, and replacing the original CIoU with the MPDloU. …”
