Lesers wat nie ’n annerlike kontrei se taal kan slat nie, hoef nie daaroor kop te vreet nie. Hierdie omvattende woordeboek plaas die gewoonlike Afrikaans uit die kontreie op skrif vir inkommers en vir ingesetenes wat wil klont oor kontreitaal. Die eienaardig mooie woordeboek ontgin annerlike Afrikaans op so ’n manier dat geen leser meer uitgesluit hoef te wees van diegene wat eenspaaierig handel nie want alles wat hierin opgeteken is, is koek van een deeg. Dit kouboe die taal vir oueres wat daarmee vertroud is en vir jongeres is dit brandhout om vir die oudag bymekaar te maak.

Machine Learning for Biometrics: Concepts, Algorithms and Applications highlights the fundamental concepts of machine learning, processing and analyzing data from biometrics and provides a review of intelligent and cognitive learning tools which can be adopted in this direction. Each chapter of the volume is supported by real-life case studies, illustrative examples and video demonstrations. The book elucidates various biometric concepts, algorithms and applications with machine intelligence solutions, providing guidance on best practices for new technologies such as e-health solutions, Data science, Cloud computing, and Internet of Things, etc. In each section, different machine learning concepts and algorithms are used, such as different object detection techniques, image enhancement techniques, both global and local feature extraction techniques, and classifiers those are commonly used data science techniques. These biometrics techniques can be used as tools in Cloud computing, Mobile computing, IOT based applications, and e-health care systems for secure login, device access control, personal recognition and surveillance.

From rethinking feminist archives, to inserting postpornography in academia, to approaching sex toys from a transpositive perspective, to dismantling the foundations of techno-capitalism, the areas of inquiry in this book are lenses through which to explore the relationships between genders, bodies and technologies. All the various chapters work to reimagine the body as a hybrid, malleable and subversive source of potentiality. These essays offer readers road maps for unimagined and uncharted social scapes: the relationship between bodies-technologies-genders means working within a space of monstrosity. Through this embodied discomfort the book questions existing techno-social norms, and imagines tranfeminist futures.
