What in the world is global health? A conceptual analysis by Giubilini, A

“…In the second part of the article, I will briefly introduce the philosophical debate on the concept of health, before suggesting that its cultural sensitivity makes it ill-suited to be qualified as ‘global’. All in all, this article wants to bring to light the ethical implications that the terminology of ‘global health’ introduces in academic research and public policy that goes under that heading, as a first step towards better defining the ethical contours of this discipline.…”

Three things everyone should know to improve object retrieval by Arandjelović, R, Zisserman, A

“…We make the following three contributions: (i) a new method to compare SIFT descriptors (RootSIFT) which yields superior performance without increasing processing or storage requirements; (ii) a novel method for query expansion where a richer model for the query is learnt discriminatively in a form suited to immediate retrieval through efficient use of the inverted index; (iii) an improvement of the image augmentation method proposed by Turcot and Lowe [29], where only the augmenting features which are spatially consistent with the augmented image are kept. …”
