The present research which originates from the author’s PhD dissertation awarded at the School of Politics of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2019, explores the comparative evolution of rural development policies and Local Action Groups (LAGs) in the United Kingdom (Argyll and the Islands LAG—Scotland and Coast, Wolds, Wetlands and Waterways LAG—England) and in Italy (Delta 2000 LAG—Emilia-Romagna Region and Capo Santa Maria di Leuca LAG—Puglia Region) in a multi-level governance framework. LAGs and in particular their public–private local partnerships have become common practice in the governance of rural areas. This governance operates within the European Union LEADER approach as a tool designed to generate the development of rural areas at local level. In order to establish the implications of the LAG practices, the following main objectives for this research have been established: (1) to explore the utility of EU strategies for rural development; (2) to explain how LAGs structure, institutional arrangements and working are positioned in the layers of MLG framework; (3) to carry out a comparative evaluation of the LAGs working in the different nations and their subnational contexts. Some significant findings from the case studies are summarized in relation to these themes: the key characteristics and the outcomes associated with the LAG working mechanisms and what do we draw about the emergence, operation and performance of local partnerships. The core argument of the research is that the partnership approach has given the rural development actors a governance platform to help increase beneficial interactions and economic activity in each of these LAGs, but it is the bottom-up leadership of key local actors, seizing opportunities provided by the EU funding, which have been the most important factors for the LAG successes.

AbstractThis article will analyse which areas rural and urban Local Action Groups (LAGs) in the Kuy-avian-Pomeranian Voivodeship function in. The thesis of this research is : LAGs are a bottom-up tool for local management. The first part presents the main assumptions of public management approaches and shows the LEADER approach and Community-Led Local Development as a form of bottom up approach in the process of public management on the local level. Then comparison analysis between rural and urban LAGs will take places. Similarities and differences were identified in the legal framework of their existence, the actors who create them, the possibility of receiving EU financial support and within the e fields of their activities. These were all analysed, along with financial activities implemented in the rural and urban LAGs in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship through 2014–2020.

Micro Expression

As a spontaneous facial expression, micro-expression reveals the psychological responses of human beings. However, micro-expression recognition (MER) is highly susceptible to noise interference due to the short existing time and low-intensity of facial actions. Research on facial action coding systems explores the correlation between emotional states and facial actions, which provides more discriminative features. Therefore, based on the exploration of correlation information, the goal of our work is to propose a spatiotemporal network that is robust to low-intensity muscle movements for the MER task. Firstly, a multi-scale weighted module is proposed to encode the spatial global context, which is obtained by merging features of different resolutions preserved from the backbone network. Secondly, we propose a multi-task-based facial action learning module using the constraints of the correlation between muscle movement and micro-expressions to encode local action features. Besides, a clustering constraint term is introduced to restrict the feature distribution of similar actions to improve categories separability in feature space. Finally, the global context and local action features are stacked as high-quality spatial descriptions to predict micro-expressions by passing through the Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (ConvLSTM) network. The proposed method is proved to outperform other mainstream methods through comparative experiments on the SMIC, CASME-I, and CASME-II datasets.
