An adaptive digital image watermarking scheme with PSO, DWT and XFCM
(© 2017 IEEE, 2017-02)In this paper, a novel adaptive digital image watermarking model based on modified Fuzzy C-means clustering is proposed. For watermark embedding process, we used Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). A segmentation technique ... -
Men’s perspectives on women’s empowerment and intimate partner violence in rural Bangladesh
(© 2017 Routledge, 6/9/2017)Intimate partner violence (IPV) may increase as women in patriarchal societies become empowered, implicitly or explicitly challenging prevailing gender norms. Prior evidence suggests an inverse U-shaped relationship between ... -
Women’s empowerment as a protective factor against intimate partner violence in Bangladesh: a qualitative exploration of the process and limitations of its influence
(© 2016 SAGE Publications Inc., 2017-08)Literature on the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and women’s empowerment is contradictory. Findings from a recent survey in rural Bangladesh suggest that empowerment is becoming protective ... -
