A modern view on service and operational competence development of specialists dealing with hazardous production facilities safe operation

The paper presents the results of the study aimed at improving the quality of specialists training in higher educational institutions who will fork for industrial enterprises where hazardous production facilities are operated. The quality of training depends on the level of industrial safety of hazardous production facilities and as a consequence the likelihood of accidents. At the moment, despite the general trend of reducing accidents at hazardous production facilities over the past ten years, their number remains quite significant. At the same time, social and economic damage from accidents can be estimated at 600700 billion rubles per year, which will have a negative impact on the economic stability of the Russian Federation. The obligations of industrial enterprises where hazardous production facilities are operated and its employees are defined by the legislation. The content of education should take into account these basic requirements, which should be formed into separate themes. Accordingly, the modular principle is used in the design of the training content. The development of content in the form of modules will ensure the organizational and substantive unity of students training. We accept lectures and practical classes, as well as group and individual ones as the main methods of the educational process. Learning the material based on the results of lectures, practical training and self-training should allow students to form the qualities specified in our profesionogram. How the educational material proposed for study is learned should be checked during the control activities, starting from the initial-input control and ending with the final control.

Real-world low-light image enhancement using Variational Autoencoders

Low-light image enhancement is a hard task mainly due to the amount of noise and little information stored in the dark image. In this thesis project we develop a method for low-light image enhancement based on a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE). The CVAE is a deep learning model trained with a specific objective function (ELBO). A CVAE can be implemented as a variant of a U-Net utilizing skip connections. We train models on a dataset called `See in the dark' (SID), which contains aligned dark-bright image pairs. This thesis is mainly focusing on building models which accept an unprocessed RAW image input and predict a noise-free bright color image. Additionally we also consider alternative input data (sRGB instead of RAW) and the task of predicting a grayscale image (instead of color). Different neural-network architectures are implemented and compared, so are different strategies for merging image-patches. Different variants of the CVAE are compared, in particular a model only using a reconstruction loss is considered. Regarding the different tasks the results turn out as expected. Models with RAW input data perform better than the model with sRGB input. Models which predict color perform worse than the one predicting only luminance. The output images for the model predicting only grayscale have a bit more detail and have less artifacts. The specific type of interpolation (between predicted patches) is of significant importance in case the inputs are extremely noisy, otherwise the faster methods are good enough. Comparison of different types of CVAE models with the model trained only using reconstruction loss shows that the very type of loss-function is not of great importance for the results, but the CVAE models are holding up well. The overall results are rather a function of the network architecture and the type of input data. Overall we conclude that the CVAE model can successfully be applied to the task of real-world low-light image enhancement, for visual improvement, in case the input is not too noisy. In case of an extremely noisy input the results are not as good. (Less)
Crowdsourcing Crime Control

Crowdsourcing, which leverages the collective expertise and resources of (mainly online) communities to achieve specified objectives, today figures prominently in a broad array of realms, including business, human rights, and medical and scientific research. It also now plays a significant role in governmental crime control efforts. Web and forensic–genetic sleuths, armchair detectives, and the like are collecting and analyzing evidence and identifying criminal suspects, at the behest of and with varying degrees of assistance from police officials.Unfortunately, as with so many other aspects of modern society, current criminal procedure doctrine is ill-equipped to address this development. In particular, for decades it has been accepted that the Fourth Amendment only limits searches and seizures undertaken by public law enforcement, not private actors. Crowdsourcing, however, presents considerable taxonomic difficulty for existing doctrine, making the already often permeable line between public and private behavior considerably more so. Moreover, although crowdsourcing promises considerable benefit as an investigative force multiplier for police, it poses risks, including misidentification of suspects, violation of privacy, a diminution of governmental transparency and democratic accountability, and the fostering of a mutual social suspicion that is inimical to civil society. Despite its importance, government use of crowdsourcing to achieve crime control goals has not yet been examined by legal scholars. Like the internet on which it predominantly relies, crowdsourcing is not going away; if anything, it will proliferate in coming years. The challenge lies in harnessing its potential, while protecting against the significant harms that will accrue should it go unregulated. This Essay describes the phenomenon and provides a framework for its regulation, in the hope of ensuring that the wisdom of the crowd does not become the tyranny of the crowd.

The Effects of Institutional Development Upon Costs of Country Level Borrowing

We examine relationships between country level private lending rates and four metrics of institutional development: the Economic Freedom of the World (EFW), the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), the Index of Economic Freedom (IEF), and the Freedom in the World Index (FWI). We find the EFW, WGI, and IEF metrics are largely consistent but anomalies exist between FWI and other indices. Robust regressions indicate that higher institutional metrics are associated with lower domestic lending rates. The effects a country's institutional metric upon nominal domestic interest rates is of similar magnitude or exceeds the effects of shocks in inflation.

Artificial Authors: A Case For Copyright In Computer-Generated Works

For years, computers have dominated humans at chess, poker, and even Jeopardy!. Now, they are competing in the arts. Increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence is creating music, art, and stories. Though the purpose of copyright law is to encourage this exact type of artistic production, none of these works are protected, because the United States Copyright Office has determined that only humans can author copyrightable works. This requirement—not mandated by the Constitution or Congress—was developed in an era where computer-generated creativity worth protecting was simply unimaginable. But years have passed, technology has advanced, and machines are now capable of developing dynamic and even award-winning creative works. Instead of accepting that the law must lag behind technology, this Article explores whether copyright law can—and should—evolve.
