Instance Segmentation

Radiography is an essential basis for the diagnosis of fractures. For the pediatric elbow joint diagnosis, the doctor needs to diagnose abnormalities based on the location and shape of each bone, which is a great challenge for AI algorithms when interpreting radiographs. Bone instance segmentation is an effective upstream task for automatic radiograph interpretation. Pediatric elbow bone instance segmentation is a process by which each bone is extracted separately from radiography. However, the arbitrary directions and the overlapping of bones pose issues for bone instance segmentation. In this paper, we design a detection-segmentation pipeline to tackle these problems by using rotational bounding boxes to detect bones and proposing a robust segmentation method. The proposed pipeline mainly contains three parts: (i) We use Faster R-CNN-style architecture to detect and locate bones. (ii) We adopt the Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) to improve the localizing accuracy. (iii) We design the Global-Local Fusion Segmentation Network to combine the global and local contexts of the overlapped bones. To verify the effectiveness of our proposal, we conduct experiments on our self-constructed dataset that contains 1274 well-annotated pediatric elbow radiographs. The qualitative and quantitative results indicate that the network significantly improves the performance of bone extraction. Our methodology has good potential for applying deep learning in the radiography’s bone instance segmentation.

In this article, I undertake a contrapuntal reading (a type of reading developed within post-colonial studies) engaging the Gospel of Matthew and the current global and local contexts of migration. The work demonstrates the mode and the significance of such readings and ways in which the approach could be brought to bear in a range of contemporary contexts and in relation to any number of current global and local issues.

This article introduces the Indigenous Media Practice special issue through a discussion of the aims and scope of the edition. It identifies three major currents in contemporary international research on media and indigeneity, which are reflected in the suite of scholarship presented here. The first is the importance of continuing to critically analyse media systems, institutions and policies that enable and constrain the production and dissemination of information for, by and about Indigenous populations. The second emphasises media-related practices in specific media production and social policy contexts, and the third underlines the importance of interrogating underlying and pervasive societal discourses in understanding Indigenous media practice. The contributions to this themed issue highlight that there is a vibrant body of research among a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, typically working in teams in the pursuit of better understanding the relationships between media and indigeneity in both global and local contexts.

Literacy Research

This article examines how Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizome concept can be applied to educational research about immigrant children’s literacies and identities. It explores the intersection of literacy and identity encountered in sociocultural and poststructural (particularly a Deleuzian perspective) paradigms, reviews studies on immigrant children’s literacy and identity from these two perspectives, and discusses challenges posed by each. The rhizome concept advances a new way of research about immigrant children, who are often marginalized by the dominant school culture. This new way of research emphasizes literacy as a process of becoming, highlighting immigrant children’s multilinguality, creativity, and intersections of multiple literacies across school, home and community and across global and local contexts and the fluidity of their identities. The paper finally calls for an awareness of the complications, connections and multiplicities that literacy research confronts concerning immigrant children and puts forward some pedagogical implications.

The Way

Development, as an ideology and practice, has been a matter of much contestation since its inception at the enlightened period. The way development has been understood, explained and practiced has undergone various experiments and directions over the time. Yet, what development is theoretically and what it should be in practice remains as contested and vague. This article is an attempt to examine the trajectory of development from its origin in the classical modernization to the more contemporary neo-liberal and post-development discourses. It is argued that the way development has been propagated by the modernists as economic growth and positive change has been vehemently challenged by the post-modernists on the ground that development is not only hegemonic, authoritative and dependency creating mechanism that routinely fails and but also produces unintended consequences on the lives of the people. Thus, there has been a growing realization that development needs to be rethought in a way that would promote an alternative development or even an alternative to development. Such a shift in perspectives and continuing deliberations on development has given rise to the question whether development has reached an impasse which needs to be pushed forward. By reviewing the existing literature, this article aims at unfolding the dynamic trajectory of development both as theory and practice, and argues that development is and continues to be an interesting and stimulating topic in social sciences given its vibrant engagement with and implications on various stakeholders both at the global and local contexts.
