Purpose In an academic and research institution of repute, where the student researcher’s creative mind and innovative potentials are the kingpin factors, it is of primary interest to segregate and pool competencies at an individual level and to create dynamic synergetic effects. Knowledge about potential core competencies and own resources, facilitation of existing personal relationships and the development of new personal relations and cooperation are necessary prerequisites. This is where social network analysis (SNA) acts as a useful tool for measuring the performance of knowledge sharing. Design/methodology/approach The current study makes a detailed analysis of the knowledge sharing network among the student researchers. The research study estimates different parameters such as knowledge sharing in various departments, the motivation for research and research environment. This work mainly attempts to undertake a differential analysis of the knowledge sharing pattern among the research scholars with the aid of Pajek software and R programming. Findings A holistic knowledge sharing network for the entire set of research scholars is established and the centrality features of the network and among the departments are analyzed, leading to a road map which deliberates on whom to appease and whom to circumvent. Research limitations/implications Every institute or organization can use the SNA to identify the key stakeholders in the knowledge sharing environment or the kingpin actors who are prone to knowledge hiding. Such useful identification of the vital stakeholders can give information on how to eliminate the barriers in the knowledge management systems, so that enhanced level of collaboration happens. Originality/value This is the first comprehensive SNA to decipher the knowledge sharing pattern among researchers. This work characterizes knowledge management research literature and thereby offers to reduce redundant research by delineating the possible avenues in the area of knowledge sharing.
Knowledge hiding is the deliberate concealment of knowledge when requested. This study underscores three divergent elements of the knowledge hiding process. First, it underlines both the distinct internal and external factors that trigger the knowledge hiding process. Second, it brings out the critical facilitators of knowledge hiding, which do have roots in both the internal and external factors but are inseparable and indistinguishable. Finally, this study brings out a conceptual framework that underscores the vital importance of neuroscience in establishing episodes of knowledge hiding. This final phase of the study categorically establishes the typical need for memory and the frontal lobe integrity in justifying any sequence of events or their combinations as an episode of knowledge hiding.
The human face is often used as a visual representation of information, which is why facial expression recognition is very important in terms of human-machine interaction. It can be used for various applications such as detecting mental disorders and understanding human behavior.Despite the advantages of facial expression recognition technology, the high recognition rate to be achieved by a computer is still challenging. Two commonly used methods are geometry and appearance . Machine learning methods like CNN, Decision tree and SVM were applied to identify the human emotions like happiness, fear, disgust, anger, surprise, sadness and neutrality.

Even though libraries don't "sell" things for money, we still want customers "buying" into us by using our materials and services. In this column, Tina Thomas shows how merchandising and following the lead of for-profit businesses has increased circulation at the Edmonton Public Library.-Editors A s the director of marketing at the Edmonton Public Library (EPL), I have the good fortune to work for an organization that fully embraces the value of marketing and the critical role it can play in helping ensure the success of almost any program, service, or initiative the library undertakes.Conversations about the demise of libraries are common; so are misconceptions about what libraries do. OCLC's 2010 report on the perceptions of libraries shows people associate libraries with books-even more so than they did in previous years.1 Our content is a key part of our brand and persona and, as a result, we often think we don't need to tell people about it. In my six-year tenure at EPL I have certainly seen that the focus of most library marketing and communications efforts is on our fun and educational programs, customer service innovation, our warm and welcoming community space-and everything else we do outside of our content.But as OCLC shows, one of-if not the main-things people love about us is that we have great stuff. How do we embrace that, showcase it, and leverage it in support of the other amazing and sometimes more glamorous work we do? HOW WE GOT HERE-ABUNDANCE, POPULARITY, DISCOVERY AND HABITEPL's approach to promoting our "great stuff" has taken shape over the past several years, and has been influenced along the way by several thought leaders inside and outside the library world.
