This qualitative study explores parents’ considerations in selecting narrative picturebooks to read with their children. Participants included 104 middle-socioeconomic status parents (84 mothers, 20 fathers) of young children (51 boys, 53 girls; Mage = 61.26, SD = 9.52). We presented parents with two translated children’s books whose content was previously unfamiliar to them: Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are (1991) and Julia Donaldson’s Where’s My Mom? (2008). A semi-structured interview stimulated the conversation surrounding what parents consider is a good book to read to their children, what they like in a good children’s book, and why. Parents’ responses highlighted some main considerations: purpose behind their reading, illustrations, centrality of the written text and structure. We highlight how these elements are similar to and different from those that have emerged from research in children’s development, literacy and literature, and recommend how parents, practitioners and the research community can dialogue in ways that may enhance adult–child book interactions.

This paper reports on a study of the children’s book preferences of 82 Preservice teachers (PSTs) at one Western Australian University. The study found PSTs preferred older books published during their own childhood or earlier. Further, representation of people of colour was limited to only 8 of 177 titles listed by PSTs. Key influences on their preferences were their personal favourite books and those used by mentor teachers during practicum experience. The outcomes of this study have implications for curriculum development and implementation of Initial Teacher Education courses, and in turn, for equitable outcomes of the future students of PSTs.

Intention To Continue

This mixed-methods study examined legacy beliefs (i.e., anticipated remembrances and linkages to the self after death) as understood in 14 older parent and adult child pairs. This work validates and expands on a 2005 typology of legacy beliefs from gerontologists, Elizabeth Hunter and Graham Rowles. A structured interview was administered separately to parents and children, coded for legacy examples (i.e., those unique to the parent, overlapping, unique to the child), and analyzed with respect to expectations of similarity reported by each participant. Most predicted moderate to high overlap in mutual understanding of parent legacy. This was not the case, as there were far more unique legacy examples given than shared. Pairs agreed least with respect to material legacies, with half showing no agreement. All reported finding the structured discussion of legacy to be beneficial, with some indicating an intention to continue these discussions further. This work may constitute a new approach to intervention.

De maneira geral a leitura de imagens no livro ilustrado ainda está relacionada à primazia da palavra e aos modos de ler em um conjunto de interdependências entre o texto escrito e as imagens. Para verificar a construção de sentidos advinda dessa relação, apresentamos a análise do livro Lá e aqui (2015), de Carolyna Moreyra, ilustrado por Odilon Moraes. Destacamos, a partir do espaço gráfico e narrativo, uma proposta de leitura permeada pelo uso das estratégias centradas em inferências, e ainda verificamos quais elementos plásticos estão dispostos no projeto gráfico e na composição do diálogo entre texto e imagem. Esses aspectos foram explorados seguindo as diretrizes de Oliveira (2008), que delimita uma primeira leitura estrutural como porta de entrada metodológica para a leitura de imagens. Para o estudo da aplicação das estratégias de inferência, tomamos Girotto e Souza (2011) e utilizamos os pressupostos inseridos na prática de leitura das palavras e na transposição de conceitos para a leitura das ilustrações do livro infantil. Palavras-chave: Livro ilustrado. Estratégias de leitura. Inferência. Odilon Moraes. INFERENTIAL STRATEGY TO READ ILLUSTRATED BOOKS Abstract: Generally, reading images in illustrated books is still related to the primacy of the word and to the ways of reading in a set of interdependencies between the written text and the images. To verify the construction of meanings derived from this relation, an analysis of Carolyna Moreyra's book, Lá e aqui (2015), illustrated by Odilon Moraes, was carried out. From the graphic and narrative spaces, a reading proposal, which includes the use of strategies focused on inferences, was made. Plastic elements which are arranged in the graphic design and the composition of the dialogue between text and image were also checked. These aspects were considered through the guidelines of Oliveira (2008), which sets a first structural reading as the methodological starting point to read images. Girotto and Souza (2011) was the basis for the study of the application of inference; assumptions inserted in the practice of reading words and in the transposition of concepts to read children's book illustrations were also used. Keywords: Illustrated book. Reading strategies. Inference. Odilon Moraes.

This chapter gives the opportunity to get an idea of recent trends in image denoising and restoration. It relates to the present research scenario in the field of image restoration. As much as possible the newest break-through regarding the methods of denoising as well as the performance metrics of evaluation has been dealt. The assessments done by the researchers have been included first so as to know how much analysis they propose to be done with respect to the application point of view of the denoising methods. The concept behind the metric selection for the assessment and evaluation has been introduced along with the need for shifting the dependence of the research community towards the newly proposed metrics than the old ones. The new trends in image denoising have been referred duly so that the readers can directly refer to the main algorithms and techniques from the papers proposed by their authors.

AbstractThis article sets out to delineate the process that led to the establishment of Mayo School of Arts in Lahore in 1875. It lays down the context within which the plan to set up art institutions in India was conceived. Contrary to Krishnan Kumar's view whereby the coloniser and the colonised constituted an adult-child relationship the coloniser, in that particular relationship took the role of the adult whereas the native became the child which had been a salient feature of the educational and academic landscape of British India. By challenging Krishna Kumar, this article while drawing on the inferences of Partha Mitter and Hussain Ahmad Khan, argues that in the realm of art instruction the analysis of colonial strategies of adjustment and readjustment provide useful insights about the administrative constraints and cognitive failures of the colonial administrators in the nineteenth-Century Punjab. Challenges like space-selection for MSA campus, appropriate Curriculum for the students and their inadequate language skills stared its founder Principal Lockwood Kipling (1837–19011) in the face. This forms the major focus of the article.
