“Gestalt” is a fashionable buzzword in the vision research community. The people invoking it tend to have little to no understanding of the groundbreaking ideas the term represents, and which they badly misrepresent. This is the case in Karlovich & Wallisch (2021), who misuse Gestalt citations to cover the theoretical gap left by a dominant vision research tradition uninterested in and incapable of addressing problems of shape and organization in vision.

Parliamentary Regimes

The article defines the features of the process of forming the research tradition of studying the institute of parliamentarism as a mechanism for the formation of democracy. It is established that parliamentarism acts as one of the varieties of the regime of functioning of the state, to which the independence of the representative body from the people is inherent, its actual primacy in the state mechanism, the division of functions between the legislative and executive branches of government, the responsibility and accountability of the government to the parliament. It is justified that, in addition to the regime that fully meets the stated requirements of classical parliamentarism, there are regimes that can be characterized as limited parliamentary regimes. The conclusions point out that parliamentarism does not necessarily lead to a democracy regime. At the first stage of development of statehood, it functions for a long time in the absence of many attributes of democracy, but at the present stage, without parliamentarism, democracy will be substantially limited. Modern researchers of parliamentarism recognize that this institution is undergoing changes with the development of the processes of democracy and democratization. This is what produces different approaches to its definition. However, most scientists under classical parliamentarianism understand such a system, which is based on the balance of power. This approach seeks to justify limiting the rights of parliament and strengthening executive power. Keywords: Parliamentarism, research strategy, theory of parliamentarism, types of parliamentarism

Vision is undoubtedly the most important sense for humans. Apart from many other low and higher level perception tasks, stereo vision has been proven to provide remarkable results when it comes to depth estimation. As a result, stereo vision is a rather popular and prosperous subject among the computer and machine vision research community. Moreover, the evolution of robotics and the demand for vision-based autonomous behaviors has posed new challenges that need to be tackled. Autonomous operation of robots in real working environments, given limited resources requires effective stereo vision algorithms. This chapter presents suitable depth estimation methods based on stereo vision and discusses potential robotic applications.

The Great East Japan Earthquake changed Japan forever. The subsequent tsunami and nuclear plant disaster shocked the world and devastated large swaths of the Japanese countryside. While truly saddening and catastrophic for those who lived through it, nine years later the affected areas continue to persevere and recover. Their determination and effort are not only inspiring but also provide a unique glimpse at how communities can be built and also rebuilt with sustainable goals in mind. According to Dr Fumihiko Saito, a professor at the Faculty of International Studies at Ryukoku University, the rebuilding process is way ahead of academic theories and offers a lot of insight for the research community. Saito, who has worked on international development, local renewal efforts and sustainability, is now visiting the areas affected by the earthquake to conduct interviews and questionnaires in an effort to understand and learn from the people there.

High voltage TEMs were introduced commercially thirty years ago, with the installations of 500 kV Hitachi instruments at the Universities of Nogoya and Tokyo. Since that time a total of 51 commercial instruments, having maximum accelerating potentials of 0.5-3.5 MV, have been delivered. Prices have gone from about a dollar per volt for the early instruments to roughly twenty dollars per volt today, which is not so unreasonable considerinp inflation and vastly improved electronics and other improvements. The most expensive HVEM (the 3.5 MV instrument at Osaka University) cost about 5 percent of the construction cost of the USA's latest synchrotron.Table 1 briefly traces the development of HVEM in this country for the materials sciences. There are now only three available instruments at two sites: the 1.2 MeV HVEM at Argonne National Lab, and 1.0 and 1.5 MeV instruments at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Fortunately, both sites are user facilities funded by DOE for the materials research community.
