Introduction – South Asian Diasporas and (imaginary) homelands: why representations still matter by Clini, Clelia, Valančiūnas, Deimantas

“…This edited volume looks at the ways in which films, literature, photography and social media construct images of homelands and diasporas as well as the ways in which they facilitate exchanges between them. The volume presents with a dialogue between these representations and analyses how they are constructed, disseminated, appropriated and/or challenged in relation to recent political developments in South Asia and in the diaspora. …”

What is that I hear? An interdisciplinary review and research agenda for non‐native accents in the workplace by Hideg, I, Shen, W, Hancock, S

“…Second, we organize and integrate extant research findings using a 2 × 2 framework that incorporates the two main theoretical perspectives used to explain the effects of accents—stereotypes and processing fluency—and the two primary categories of workplace outcomes examined—interpersonal (i.e., others' evaluations of speakers with non-native accents, such as hiring recommendations) and intrapersonal (i.e., non-native-accented speakers' own evaluations and experiences, such as sense of belonging). To facilitate future research, we end by articulating a research agenda including theoretical and methodological expansions related to the study of accents, identifying critical moderators, adopting an intersectional approach, and studying group-level and potential positive effects of speaking with non-native accents.…”

2D human pose estimation in TV shows by Ferrari, V, Marín-Jiménez, M, Zisserman, A

“…</p> <p>We propose an approach that progressively reduces the search space for body parts, to greatly facilitate the task for the pose estimator. Moreover, when video is available, we propose methods for exploiting the temporal continuity of both appearance and pose for improving the estimation based on individual frames.…”

Exploring and evaluating differentiated assessment practices of in-service teachers for components of differentiation by Kaur, Amrita, Noman, Mohammad, Awang Hashim, Rosna

“…Data from the open-ended survey were analyzed using NVivo11 to develop codes for the analytic framework.The findings offer insights into teachers’ knowledge, application, and interpretation of differentiated assessment practices.The discussion explores teachers’ explanations of their own practices and, further, recommends ways to improve knowledge and application of differentiated assessment.The implications of the findings are discussed for assessment literacy-related professional development for teachers, school management and policies to facilitate implementation of differentiated assessment.…”
