“…Both emojis and words can be used to convey the current mood of a subject, however emojis (and images in general) are more easy to interpret and recall than written words. This effect is known as the "picture superiority effect" and is due to dual-encoding of the pictures in the brain as an image and as a verbal trace [5,22]. Moreover, use of graphic representations also works better for people who are dyslexic or otherwise aphasic.…”

Emojis are increasingly being used in today's social communication-both formally in team messaging systems as well as informally via text messages on phones. Besides being used in social communication, emojis might also be a suitable mechanism for emotion (self-)assessment. Indeed, emojis can be expected to be familiar to people of different social groups and do not depend on the mastery of a specific language. However, emojis could be interpreted very differently from their actual intent. In order to determine whether people interpret emojis (specific to emotional states) in a consistent manner, we conducted an online survey on nine emojis with 386 people. The results show that the emojis representing anger, sadness, joy, surprise, and neutral state are interpreted as they were intended, independent of age and gender. Interpretations of other emojis such as Unamused Face and Face Screaming in Fear depend on age, and thus are not as useful for probing for emotion in a study setting unless all participants belong to the same age category. The Face with Rolling Eyes emoji is interpreted differently by gender and finally the Nauseated Face emoji resulted in no conclusive interpretation.

“…In our proposed work, an extra security feature is appended to the information system that is, an image password that is trained using CNN. While comparing the text passwords with the image passwords, the images can be easily remembered [9] than the text. Till now two existing methods were considered for the login process namely Text Password and One Time Password(OTP).…”

An Authenticated Security System is a highly desired feature. In this paper, a FreeHand Sketch-based Authentication Security strategy is proposed for authentication purposes by allowing a user to choose one label from a collection of different labels and asking him to sketch the corresponding image for the selected label for registration to avoid mischievous registration and the sketched image gets preprocessed using adaptive threshold with Gaussian mixture and then predicted with a trained Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) data model to generate the necessary image label. The produced image label will compare with selected image label. If both are same then the details will store in the system database. The user gets login with his/her authorized details with sketch based image password. The image password gets preprocessed using adaptive threshold with Gaussian mixture and then predicted with a trained CNN model to produce the image name. The produced image name will compare with the system database for authentication. The methodology is tested with some sample input image passwords and the performance calculation is carried out using metrics like Recall and Precision. The proposed work exhibits the accuracy of approximately 85% by ensuring the authentication for the user security.

“…For example, when pictures are meant to represent the actual things in nature instead of sounds, such pictures are usually followed by a single stroke. Dewan (2015) asserts that humans have used pictures to record their experiences for 250 centuries, pictograms and ideograms for the next 20 centuries, and words for the remaining 15 centuries. Communicating visually is what we have done for the vast majority of human history.…”

“…As oratory is gradually losing its impart within Asante setting, this project is significant in that it will help give an alternative to written documents in gathering historical facts about the Asante kingdom by producing a visual document made-up of organized symbols and imagery based on the account from a recommended book by Manhyia Palace Museum Board, title 'An Outline of Asante History'. In his remarks to support symbols and imagery as having the communicative power to store information, Dewan (2015) claims symbols and imagery are not only more effortless to recognize and process than words, but also easier to recall. When words enter long-term memory they do so with a single code.…”

The Asante kingdom is one of the famous and surviving kingdoms in sub-Saharan Africa. The kingdom came on the world stage in the late 16th century and gradually expanded its territorial boundaries through wars to cover almost the present day Ghana and some portion of Togo and Cote d'Ivoire. Oratory was one of the major means the Asante preserved their rich history before they were introduced to a written document. Modernization and education are gradually affecting their oratory culture. This research looks into the ancient methodology of preserving historical facts to design and produce a mural that would serve as an alternative to available sources in gathering historical facts about the Asante kingdom and also to safeguard its rich historical facts just like what the Ancient Egyptian society did with their hieroglyphics. Qualitative research design approach was used and the descriptive and studio-based research methodologies were employed. The history of the Asante kingdom was explored from the 16th to the 21st century to encode the salient facts about their transformational development into a mural of symbols and pictorial imagery, using sketching and repoussage technique. It was found that organized symbols and imagery together with text can be used to present historical facts which people can easily decipher. Also, intricate visuals can be repoussage unto a large metal surface using 0.8mm copper thickness upon a suitable working support.
