Social Justice as Topic and Tool: An Attempt to Transform an LIS Curriculum and Culture
A B S T R A C T
Training culturally competent and socially responsible library and information science (LIS) professionals requires a blended approach that extends across curricula, professional practice, and research. Social justice can support these goals by serving as a topic of inquiry in LIS curricula as well as by providing a scholarly framework for understanding how power and privilege shape LIS institutions and professional practice. This article applies social justice as a topic and tool for transforming LIS curricula and culture by exploring the implementation of social justice–...

Impact of sink node position in the human body on the performance of WBAN
Wireless body area networks consisting of various sensor nodes which are deployed on or in the human body to sense the vital sign of the human body. It is used to improve the QoS of life, healthcare applications and remote patient monitoring. Sensor nodes are placed on the human body; they sense the signal and send it to sink. Due to the movement of the body parts distance between the sensor node and sink increased or decreased which affect the performance of the network .In these networks routing protocols plays an important role together with position of sink node. Previous research shows...

Clustering and Classification of Text Documents Using Improved Similarity Measure
Dimensionality reduction is very challenging and important in text mining. We need to know which features be retained what to be and It helps in reducing the processing overhead when performing text classification and text clustering. Another concern in text clustering and text classification is the similarity measure which we choose to find the similarity degree between any two text documents. In this paper, we work towards text clustering and text classification by addressing dimensionality reduction using SVD followed by the use of the proposed similarity measure which is an improved...

Providing Quality of Service in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks: A Survey
Cognitive radio (CR) technology is an excellent solution to use dynamic spectrum access (DSA) technique with the aim of resolving the spectrum underutilization problems and spectrum scarcity problems in networks. Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are utilized in enormous applications. The unlicensed ISM spectrum bands are used for data communication in WSNs in most applications. Due to event-triggered traffic type of WSNs, these networks commonly meet the spectrum shortage in transmission of event information. This problem is solved by providing the CR-equipped sensors for WSNs....

Theater of the Absurd: Nietzsche's Genealogy as Cultural Critique
The paper seeks to demystify Nietzsche's concept of genealogy. Geneal-ogy tells the story of historical origins in the form of a myth that is betrayed from within, while readers have naively assumed it tells a story that Nietzsche endors-es—whether of history or naturalized origins. Looked at more closely, genealogy, I claim, tells the story of human consciousness and its extraordinary fallibility. It relates the conditions and limits of consciousness and how these are actively avoided and forgotten, for the most part in vain. The lessons are these: there is no human time before...

Content, Mood, and Force
In this survey paper, I start from two classical theses of speech act theory: that speech act content is uniformly propositional and that sentence mood encodes illocutionary force. These theses have been questioned in recent work, both in philosophy and linguistics. The force/content distinction itself – a cornerstone of 20‐century philosophy of language – has come to be rejected by some theorists, unmoved by the famous ‘Frege–Geach’ argument. The paper reviews some of these debates.

Earth Stewardship in the Southern End of the Americas
The South American temperate and sub-Antarctic forests cover the longest latitudinal range in the Southern Hemisphere and include the
world’s southernmost forests. However, until now, this unique biome has been absent from global ecosystem research and monitoring networks.
Moreover, the latitudinal range of between 40 degrees (°) south (S) and 60° S constitutes a conspicuous gap in the International Long-Term
Ecological Research (ILTER) and other international networks. We first identify 10 globally salient attributes of biological and cultural diversity
in southwestern South America. We...
