New Local Government System: A Step Towards Community Empowerment?
Failure of the central/provincial governments to adequately capture local preferences and provide basic services strengthened the case for a new local government system for delivery of public services along with the authority to impose fees, taxes, user charges, etc. to finance these services. The new System aims at transferring political, administrative and fiscal powers1 from higher tiers of the government to lower tiers (Figure 1) in order to bring governments closer to common citizens for greater accountability and better understanding of the needs and preferences of people. National Reconstruction Bureau (NRB) was entrusted the task of designing a local government system which presented its first blue print in the form of “Devolution Plan 2000”. As a result of this exercise a new Local Government System has been installed in Pakistan on 14th August 2001 after the promulgation of Local Government Ordinance 2001 by all the four Provinces. The new System comprises a District Government or a City District Government and Zila Council in a district, Tehsil Municipal Administration and Tehsil Council in a tehsil (a Town Municipal Administration and Town Council in a town in a city district) and Union Administration and Union Council in a union. Village/Neighbourhood councils provide an interface with the lowest tier of the Local Government (Union Administration) with the community.
Learning from Millions of 3D Scans for Large-scale 3D Face Recognition
Deep networks trained on millions of facial images are believed to be closely
approaching human-level performance in face recognition. However, open world
face recognition still remains a challenge. Although, 3D face recognition has
an inherent edge over its 2D counterpart, it has not benefited from the recent
developments in deep learning due to the unavailability of large training as
well as large test datasets. Recognition accuracies have already saturated on
existing 3D face datasets due to their small gallery sizes. Unlike 2D
photographs, 3D facial scans cannot be sourced from the web causing a
bottleneck in the development of deep 3D face recognition networks and
datasets. In this backdrop, we propose a method for generating a large corpus
of labeled 3D face identities and their multiple instances for training and a
protocol for merging the most challenging existing 3D datasets for testing. We
also propose the first deep CNN model designed specifically for 3D face
recognition and trained on 3.1 Million 3D facial scans of 100K identities. Our
test dataset comprises 1,853 identities with a single 3D scan in the gallery
and another 31K scans as probes, which is several orders of magnitude larger
than existing ones. Without fine tuning on this dataset, our network already
outperforms state of the art face recognition by over 10%. We fine tune our
network on the gallery set to perform end-to-end large scale 3D face
recognition which further improves accuracy. Finally, we show the efficacy of
our method for the open world face recognition problem.Comment: 11 page
File Synchronization Systems Survey
Several solutions exist for file storage, sharing, and synchronization. Many
of them involve a central server, or a collection of servers, that either store
the files, or act as a gateway for them to be shared. Some systems take a
decentralized approach, wherein interconnected users form a peer-to-peer (P2P)
network, and partake in the sharing process: they share the files they possess
with others, and can obtain the files owned by other peers. In this paper, we
survey various technologies, both cloud-based and P2P-based, that users use to
synchronize their files across the network, and discuss their strengths and
weaknesses.Comment: The Sixth International Conference on Computer Science, Engineering &

Kepemimpinan Dalam Manajemen Pendidikan Islam
The doctrine of Islamic leadership has long emerged even further before other themes. The doctrine of leadership in Islam is closely related to the purpose of the creation and descent of humans into this world. As creatures who inhabit the earth, humans are burdened with the mandate of istikhlaf. According to A. Hasim, the mandate of istikhlaf (rule of the earth) is not merely a kingdom, power, authority and government, but it is all with the provision that it must be used for prosperity and development in order to prove what God has outlined for humans so that they can walk on it. to the level of perfection. Management of Islamic education is a process of managing Islamic educational institutions in an Islamic way by dealing with learning resources and other related matters to achieve the goals of Islamic education effectively and efficiently. The role and actions of Islamic education leadership in various Islamic education management systems are actually a form of actualization of the values attached to them and become a personality. Therefore, the quality of Islamic education is also measured by the quality of its leaders. Educational leadership is the process of influencing and guiding a leader to educators and education staff to carry out educational and research tasks using existing educational facilities, both individually and in groups, so that educational goals are achieved effectively and efficientl
Deepwater Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Scenarios Development and Their Associated Risk Assessment
World’s growing energy demand has pushed oil companies to explore and produce hydrocarbons in complex and technologically challenging deepwater environments. These difficult and complex operations involve the risk of major accidents as well, demonstrated by disasters such as the explosion and fire on the UK production platform Piper Alpha and capsizing of the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Accidents cause death, suffering, pollution of the environment, disruption of business and bad reputation to oil industry. A quantitative risk analysis technique has been used in this study to identify and categorize risk associated with different life phases of a deepwater well. Volume of oil released to the environment is used as a risk indicator. Five oil spill scenarios related to drilling and production life phases of a deepwater well are modeled. Risks associated with drilling an exploratory well in the deepwaters of GoM are analyzed in Scenario-1. A representative well location and corresponding reservoir properties were used to estimate the worst case discharge rates (WCD). Fault tree analysis (FTA) was performed to identify and categorize different hazards. Unexpected pore pressure and delayed response to an emergency situation were identified as two most important parameters contributing to overall risk of the system. In Scenario-2 an underground blowout was modeled by using representative geological settings from Popeye-Genesis field. A shallower low pressure zone is exposed to a deeper high pressure zone during drilling. The time to recharge the shallower zone to its fracture pressure is estimated. The shallower zone will transmit hydrocarbons to sea floor once its fracture pressure is reached. Risks associated with production life phase of a deepwater well are modeled in scenario-3. A representative well location and corresponding reservoir properties were used to estimate the WCD. FTA showed that sand screen and subsea tree control failures were main elements contributing to risk. In scenario-4 risk associated with floating production and offloading (FPSO) system for GoM are quantitatively and qualitatively presented. Scenario-5 deals with oil spill risk associated with severe weather conditions. An example mudslide calculation for SP-70 block of GoM is presented
Simulations of the primary cement placement in annular geometries during well completion using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
Effective zonal isolation during primary cementing is only possible when drilling mud in the annulus is completely displaced with cement, while the spacers aid in this process. During the displacement process the rheological properties of fluids used and the operating conditions control the motion of different fluids interfaces; desired stable interfacial displacement leads to piston like motion. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool with the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) has been validated against experimental and used to conduct numerical experiments in a virtual well model consisting of 50 ft vertical section of 8.765 x 12.5 annulus having initially mud and this mud is swept by one annular volume of spacer followed by one annular volume of cement. The 50 ft section was further divided into five subsections each of length 10 ft and average values of quantities for these sections were used for further analysis. The mud and cement properties were kept constant and the spacer density, viscosity and displacement rate were the only controlling parameters to achieve the piston like displacement. The spacer density and viscosity were varied between water and cement with cement being the heaviest and most viscous fluid. Three Reynolds numbers of 100, 167 and 400 were simulated. Temporal variation of the mud volume fraction was used as an indication for the piston like interfacial displacement. For an ideal piston like interfacial displacement the mud fraction reduces sharply with minimum residual mud volume after the spacer sweeps through. A gradual mud reduction represents fluid fingering and the fluctuations in the mud fraction represent fluid mixing. The best displacement was observed when the spacer had the same density as mud while it has the viscosity similar to water. The displacement process was least effective when the spacer had the density equal to cement for all viscosity ranges. Based on the simulation results, a correlation was developed to find the final placed cement volume fraction in the annulus under similar fluid conditions, the utility of CFD based correlation is also presented. Further development of the correlation for varying spacer volume at other operating conditions may be needed to extend its applicability
Dense 3D Face Correspondence
We present an algorithm that automatically establishes dense correspondences
between a large number of 3D faces. Starting from automatically detected sparse
correspondences on the outer boundary of 3D faces, the algorithm triangulates
existing correspondences and expands them iteratively by matching points of
distinctive surface curvature along the triangle edges. After exhausting
keypoint matches, further correspondences are established by generating evenly
distributed points within triangles by evolving level set geodesic curves from
the centroids of large triangles. A deformable model (K3DM) is constructed from
the dense corresponded faces and an algorithm is proposed for morphing the K3DM
to fit unseen faces. This algorithm iterates between rigid alignment of an
unseen face followed by regularized morphing of the deformable model. We have
extensively evaluated the proposed algorithms on synthetic data and real 3D
faces from the FRGCv2, Bosphorus, BU3DFE and UND Ear databases using
quantitative and qualitative benchmarks. Our algorithm achieved dense
correspondences with a mean localisation error of 1.28mm on synthetic faces and
detected anthropometric landmarks on unseen real faces from the FRGCv2
database with 3mm precision. Furthermore, our deformable model fitting
algorithm achieved 98.5% face recognition accuracy on the FRGCv2 and 98.6% on
Bosphorus database. Our dense model is also able to generalize to unseen
datasets.Comment: 24 Pages, 12 Figures, 6 Tables and 3 Algorithm
Social Media and Pakistani Journalists: WhatsApp Usage for News and Ethical Performance
With the fast expansion and acceptance of the Social Media in Pakistan, it is observed that the traditional journalism has entered in a new avenue because social media not only facilitating networking platform for the communities but also it has also been becoming a source of news for the traditional media journalists. As previous studies discussed that social media including Twitter and Facebook become the important tool to disseminate the news. Previous researches are the evidence of the usage of social media as a news source however they also pointed out the questions of the credibility of the information provided by these social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and WhatsApp therefore the objective of this study is to find out how social media especially WhatsApp is being used as source of information for the journalists working in the traditional media and to what extent it is influencing the ethical performance of the journalists in Pakistan. This will be a qualitative study in which interview technique is employed and theoretical framework has been used based on the diffusion of innovation theory. Population of the study is all the news TV channels in Pakistan. Sample of the study will be ten field reporters and news room personnel from one private and one public main stream news TV channels of Pakistan. The results show that the Journalists, newsroom personnel and reporters use WhatsApp because of its extra ordinary features to enhance their reporting magnitude. Results also show that journalists and reporters ignore ethical rules and regulations during the reporting and in field even they are aware of rules and regulations of journalism.
