In this paper, the segmentation of cotton leaves from the complex background has been carried out using deformable model. In order to segment, a database of about 300 cotton leaves image was developed. The collected images were resized to 256x256 size. The resized image has been segmented using Adaptive Diffusion Flow (ADF) model. The ADF model has been obtained by replacing the smoothening energy term of gradient vector flow model with active hyper surface harmonic minimal function used to keep away from weak edges leakage. The infinite Laplace function is used to move the deformable model into narrow concave regions. Further, the developed model has been compared with the gradient vector flow and vector field convolution segmentation methods in terms of number of iterations, time taken for segmentation and various performance parameters namely precision, recall, Manhattan, Jaccard, Dice. From the results, it is concluded that the adaptive diffusion flow method is faster and performance parameters are better than the Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) and Vector Field Convolution (VFC) methods.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a leading technology, where numerous sensors with the ability to exchange information over the internet are involved. It supports various applications ranging from smart home to smart city including smart grid for calculating electricity tariff, real time monitoring and controlling traffic, Co2 emission level finding etc. Research advancements in IoT facilitates us to control or monitor the things remotely and take actions accordingly. Efficient working of the IoT, involves continuous exchange of information between the nodes which should be executed in trusted environment as this data is confidential and only trusted nodes should handle it. Current research work in IoT suggests the confidentiality mechanisms which are heavyweight and not suitable in IoT scenario. So there is a need for lightweight confidentiality mechanism. In this paper we have shown how lightweight P-Box permutation encryption algorithm can be effective in IoT. We have compared this encryption algorithm with PRESENT protocol and our results show that lightweight P-Box permutation algorithm took less time. To prove that our encryption algorithm is better w.r.t. security, we have also carried out known plaintext attack and chosen plaintext attack and shown that lightweight P-Box permutation encryption algorithm is resistant to both of these attacks. Further we have used this technique to transfer the smart meter data in Smart Grid and shown that the data exchanged between the two nodes in confidential manner.

Published: May 2020

Damming rivers is often seen as the panacea of the neo-liberal development paradigm. It is believed to be the fit all solution to problems of agricultural production, flood control, irrigation in arid and semi –arid regions, electricity generation as well as urban development. The industrialization of the world and the adoption of a capital intensive, mechanized and market-oriented production process has dramatically altered the environment as resource-extraction and resource consumption increased manifold. Nature, in fact, became a source of supply of raw materials for feeding the ever growing needs of modernization and development as well as a dump-yard for material waste, slowly heading towards a perilous condition. The paper, therefore, seeks to explore and investigate the issue of damming rivers as a domineering force over nature explicating the power of science over nature.

In the desire of experiencing the taste of speed and not following the traffic rules many people are losing their lives in the road accidents. As they were happening far from the living areas the others will not be aware about these accidents and also due to lack of information regarding the accident, the medical facilities were also not able to reach them. To overcome these situations we have designed a GSM-GPS based intelligent vehicle tracking system using Raspberry Pi controller. This system consists of light sensor, MQ135 Alcohol sensor, temperature sensor, accelerometer, video recorder, limit switch sensor, GPS and GSM modems to prevent vehicles from collisions and alert while colliding. All the sensors are connected to the Raspberry pi controller. In addition to this an SD card is provided to collect and save the data from the sensors. We can recover this data from this SD card to know the reason behind the accident and can avoid it from happening again. When an accident is occurred the information about the accident will be sent to the preregistered number through an sms. The main feature of this system is whenever the sensors records a value beyond the specified value whether it is about crossing the lane line, not wearing seat belt, the driver is drunk, or reaching close to the other vehicles etc.., an alert message will be sent to the preregistered number.

Expansion of farmland and unplanned land encroachments have increased as the earth's population boomed, which has led to uncontrolled deforestation across the world. Deforestation and industrialization have given rise to global warming, causing mayhem in the current ecosystem. The weather patterns are disrupted, and natural calamities are occurring more frequently. The after-effects of these events have to lead to dramatic losses in flora and fauna. Even though a large part of India's land is urbanized, there are many protected areas in specific parts of the country that represent significant vegetation that has been affected if we observe from the scale of a subcontinent. In this paper, we aim to trace the deforestation in the Sundarbans from 1988 to 2019. This period is essential as a lot of industrialization and population boom happened during this time. We have selected the Sundarbans because mangroves are a natural defense to cyclones and also provide shelter to a plethora of living organisms. Our study area covers more than 7000 square kilometers of the Indian Sundarbans. The satellite images are from Landsat-5, Landsat-7, and Landsat-8, which are orthorectified. We make use of open-source software like Quantum GIS (QGIS), Google Earth Engine (GEE), and Google Colab, which is a Python IDE in this project. We make use of the K-means clustering, which is an unsupervised learning algorithm. Here, we have described a method to analyze deforestation accurately using low-cost techniques, which can be used by underdeveloped nations and private organizations to help in the fight against illegal deforestation.

In the area of Object Detection, the most important step is the extraction of object features. One of the most used approaches is HaarLike features and the Integral Image technique to integrate them. The Integral Image technique, used by Viola and Jones, is generally used to calculate the integral of a rectangular filter in an input picture. This filter is a rectilinear rectangle. We propose a method to integrate a rotated one by any angle of rotation inside an image based on the Bresenham algorithm of drawing a segment. We use some pixels – called key points - that forms the four segments of a rotated rectangle, to calculate its Integral Image. Our method focuses on three essential tasks; the first is to determine the rule for drawing a segment (SDR), the second is to identify all the key points of the rectangle r, and the third is to calculate the integral image. The speed of this method depends on the size and angle of rotation of the rectangle. To demonstrate the efficiency of our idea, we applied it to the rotated Haar-like features that we proposed in a later work [12], which had as objectives the improvement of the Viola and Jones algorithm to detect the rotated faces in a given image. We performed tests on more widespread databases of images, which showed that the application of this technique to rotated Haar-Like features improves the performance of object detectors, in general, and faces in particular.

Polycystic Ovary syndrome is a disorder that many women faces during their reproductive age, due to this they suffer from diabetes, infertility and high blood pressure. Diagnosis of this disorder is mainly done through various types of screenings like ultrasound images. Imaging is the most important factor in the diagnosis, through ultrasound images the follicles generated and cysts formed are easily affected. Although, this is the best method for diagnosis, the main concern is the symptoms shown by this disorder are many times ignored because symptoms like acne, hair loss, and weight gain can also be the causes of some other problem and this leads to the PCOS getting more severe. This paper can be said as a prevention measure or as an alert that one needs to visit hospital for screening. It will help female to recognize the symptoms at early age so that they can take required steps toward the cure. The proposed work is based on the images obtained after ultrasound and how the noises that occur in them can be removed by various methods like data mining, machine learning algorithms. This paper will provide the overview of predicting the disorder using symptoms as parameters through genetic algorithm and back propagation algorithm in neural network. Since, genetic algorithm and back propagation algorithm is known for their accuracy can produce better results.

With online shopping and many logistic companies on the rise, a single accident can incur heavy loss to the supply chain department and not only disrupts the flow of the supply chain, but also causes injury to life and damage to property. These accidents occur primarily due to driving while feeling distracted or drowsy and it is paramount to monitor such behavior to avoid drastic outcomes in case of driving heavy duty vehicles. Therefore, it is natural for logistic companies to invest in securing their goods and ensuring that there is safe transportation of goods. The objective of our paper is to provide a novel solution to handle the aforementioned problems by monitoring the driver’s performance by analysing the facial features of the driver in real-time while storing the event-triggered data in the cloud and using the cloud services to send mobile alerts when the driver is drowsy or distracted via a mobile application in a cost effective and in an efficient manner.

Remote sensing and GIS based vegetation monitoring offers lot of potential for ecosystem studies. This study utilized freely available moderate resolution Landsat images to quantify the changes in vegetation dynamics in Dibru-Saikhowa national park, India. A wide range of vegetation indices and temperature indices such as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), land surface temperature (LST), vegetation condition index (VCI), temperature condition index (TCI) and vegetation health index (VHI) was utilized for the purpose of the study. Results reveal that the study area has gone through changes in vegetation and temperature pattern affecting the land surface balances. The maximum NDVI value for the year 1996 was recorded between 0.5-0.8 whereas the maximum LST values ranged between 17.240C-34.850C. In 2019, the maximum NDVI values reduced to the range of 0.14-0.6 while LST increased to 18.950C-38.910C. Consequently, the VHI classes showed a negative trend. In 1996, healthy vegetation covered a total area of 14564.6 ha which reduced to 9872.1 ha in 2019. Conversely, the no vegetation class showed a significant positive trend from 951.3 ha to 3015.99. Such alteration in vegetation dynamics in the study area is affecting the local climate and regional ecosystem services and require instant attention of conservationist and policy makers.

India being a democracy, that too world’s largest, still conducts its elections using either Secret Ballet Voting or Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) both of which involve high costs, manual labor and are inefficient. So, the system must be optimized to be made efficient which would not leave room for unwanted means of voting. The current system requires the physical presence of every individual which is inconvenient to many people. This paper focuses on a system that uses faces to unlock the voting system just like in your phone and does not require physical presence to cast a vote as the traditional system does. The process is time-consuming as well. The entirely web-based system enables people to cast their votes from anywhere in the world. Using detection of faces decreases the chance of duplicating a vote and those who are registered prior to the election and are recognized by the system will be allowed to vote. Just like fingerprints, every face also has unique features like the distance between the eyes and eyebrows that remain unchanged with growing age which makes the system more secure. Hence, the approach makes the system the best way to vote.
Personagens Travestis de Cassandra Rios: subversão e resistência
Authors: Fernandes Carlos Eduardo Albuquerque
Published: May 2020

O presente artigo apresenta um panorama do pioneirismo da escritora brasileira Cassandra Rios na criação de romances com protagonistas travestis, bem como oferece uma análise da protagonista da obra Uma mulher diferente, publicada a primeira vez em 1965. A leitura crítica aqui apresentada tem como base um tripé teórico: (a) os estudos literários, a partir de Barcellos (2006), Fernandes & Schneider (2017), (b) os estudos de gênero, sobretudo a partir de Butler (2010; 2013) e (c) as etnografias sobre travestis brasileiras, a partir de Kulick (2008), Benedetti (2005) e Pelúcio (2009). Os resultados buscam demonstrar o quanto as personagens promovem rachaduras nos dogmas tradicionais de gênero e de sexualidades, subvertendo conceitos essencialistas, mesmo tendo sido criadas em textos literários que vieram a público em um período de repressão como no início da ditadura militar do Brasil, instaurada em 1964.
A "rainha do lar" e a "mulher da vida": a construção das imagens femininas em José de Alencar
Authors: Drummond Tapioca Neto Renato
Published: May 2020

Entre os escritores brasileiros que trabalharam em suas obras a construção das imagens femininas, ora como “rainha do lar”, ora como “prostituta”, encontra-se José de Alencar. Nos romances que constituem os chamados perfis de mulheres (Lucíola, Diva e Senhora), Alencar explorou aspectos da sociedade brasileira durante as décadas de 1850 a 1870, o que confere a estes romances um aspecto quase documental, embora se tratem primeiramente de obras de ficção. No presente trabalho, pretende-se demonstrar como o universo feminino foi construído pelo autor, especialmente o perfil da mulher oitocentista: a cortesã, identificada com a personagem Lúcia, no romance Lucíola (1862); e a rainha do lar, representada pelas personagens Emília, em Diva (1864), e Aurélia Camargo, em Senhora (1865). Para tanto, partiremos de uma breve discussão sobre a construção das imagens e estereótipos femininos no século XIX, e em seguida adentraremos na obra supracitada de José de Alencar, em busca de tais perfis que, por sua vez, encontram paralelos verossímeis para além das páginas do romance romântico do referido autor. Com isso, objetivamos ressaltar como a obra de Alencar se constitui numa fonte preciosa para se compreender a sociedade brasileira de 150 anos atrás.
Rir para ruir: o cômico e o grotesco no quarto proibido da casa assassinada
Authors: Cabala Frederico Van Erven
Published: May 2020

O presente trabalho se propõe a investigar a utilização do riso na prosa de Lúcio Cardoso. Criador de um universo ficcional de sombras e desespero, o escritor mineiro parece operar com a utilização do grotesco e do cômico para potencializar a própria densidade dos elementos dramáticos. Neste artigo, procederemos com uma leitura do personagem Timóteo, do romance Crônica da casa assassinada (1959), em paralelo às construções teóricas acerca do riso e do grotesco desenvolvidas por Henri Bergson, Pirandello, Freud e Wolfgang Kayser. Esperamos demonstrar, assim, de que forma o riso e o grotesco em Timóteo se impõem como um dispositivo corrosivo que visa desestabilizar uma ordem e uma moral vigentes no universo ficcional de Vila Velha, Minas Gerais.

Authors: Hristova Diana , Kandova Yana , Nikolov Georgi , Petrunov Bogdan
Published: May 2020

Introduction. In Bulgaria, mold allergies are common, and sensitization to different fungal species is found in many patients with atopy.The objective of this study is to explore sensitization to the most widespread mold species in Bulgaria, and to determine the extent of sensitization to Alt a1, a major allergen of Alternaria alternata, by using component-resolved diagnosis.Materials and Methods. 21 patients (14 males and 7 females, age range 5-40 years), with respiratory allergy participated in the study. All patients are sensitized to mix of fungal allergens containing: Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus sp., Cladosporium herbarum, Penicillium notatum, proved by in vivo and in vitro methods. All patients underwent the ImmunoCAP test and were assessed for sIgE to individual fungal allergens: m1 Penicillium notatum, m2 Cladosporium herbarum, m3 Aspergillus fumigatus and m6 Alternaria alternata. The component-resolved diagnosis to Alt a1 was performed for 10 patients with increased sIgE to m6 Alternaria alternata.Results. All studied patients (100%) had elevated sIgE to Alternaria alternata. Eight (38%) patients were sensitized to Penicillium notatum. 11 (52%) and 10 (48%) patients were sensitized to Cladosporium herbarum and to Aspergillus fumigatus, respectively. Ten patients (48%) were monosensitized to Alternaria alternata. Nine (90%) patients with sensitization to Alternaria alternata demonstrated elevated levels of IgE to Alt a1.Conclusion. Alternaria alternata most often causes sensitization in patients with respiratory allergy. The component-resolved diagnosis using Alt a1 is a precision marker to prove species-specific sensitization to Alternaria alternata.
Ecological features of the persistence of Vibrio cholerae: retrospective analysis and actual state of the problem
Authors: Menshikova Elena A. , Kurbatova Ekaterina M. , Titova Svetlana V.
Published: May 2020

The review presents retrospective data on six cholera pandemics and current views on the causative agent of the seventh pandemic V. cholerae El Tor, which caused a pandemic infection with the formation of true persistent and temporary intermediate endemic foci that provide the longest pathogen circulation in the history of the disease. One of the possible explanations for such a long course of the cholera pandemic is associated with an extremely high variability of the genome and the development of a number of adaptive reactions that allow cholera vibrios to adapt and remain in the environment. Due to the development of molecular genetic research methods, the ability of cholera vibrios to form biofilms which increases stress resistance, the ability to spread by attachment to abiotic (plastic) and biotic substrates (zooplankton and phytoplankton) has been discovered. Biofilm formation is also directly related to overcoming the antagonistic action of members of aquatic ecosystems. Another strategy for the survival of cholera vibrios is the transition to an uncultured state that proves a low level of death in the population. Published data on the possible effects of temperature increasing due to the climate change on cholera outbreaks in Africa (Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Angola, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone), Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia), Central Asia (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan) and South Asia (Nepal) are overviewed. Based on the publications of recent years, an analysis is made of the current state of the studied problem in the Russian Federation and, in particular, in the Rostov region.
Seeing All Beings as Oneself: Internationalizing Higher Education for Universal Harmony
Authors: Unkule Kalyani
Published: May 2020

This paper will be an exploration into the internationalism inherent to a certain religious tradition to explore its ramifications for seeking and receiving education abroad. The tenets of Hinduism share a complicated relationship with international higher education for an important reason: the purported taboo overcrossing oceans. This taboo was strictly applied in the case of the Brahmins, who also happened to be the caste with near-monopoly over access to and imparting of education. The ethos of Hinduism, however, is deeply embedded in a posited harmony of individuals and cultures. A spiritual text identified with Hinduism, the Chandogya Upanishad, for instance, contains dedicated segments exploring such themes as tattvamasi or the connection of one’s innermost self to the divine soul and the doctrine of bhuma or infinity. This makes it a faith that at once embraces the value of intercultural exchange while challenging contemporary understandings of how it is best achieved. Rabindranath Tagore embraces this philosophy summing it as “he alone sees, who sees all beings as himself. Implications for internationalism in higher education will be teased out from the spiritual and religio-cultural underpinnings of Tagore’s experiments in the field, namely, Vishwa Bharati and Shanti Niketan.

The paper will then argue that the deeply entrenched Western-centric bias in what is increasingly described as “global” higher education defeats the true motivations of internationalisation of the University. It will further explore the ways in which reference to religion (Hinduism in particular), not just in structuring curriculum for foreign students, but in reimagining the basis for globalization of higher education could potentially counter these trends towards homogenization and reset internationalisation efforts on a more meaningful trajectory. Spiritual learning, rather than multiculturalism, will be proposed as the better approach to conceptualising internationalisation of the University. It will be shown how this approach holds particular promise for emerging countries who have thus far been unable to fulfil their potential to offer meaningful learning experiences for foreign students due to their higher education institutions being unfavourably compared with Western counterparts.

Undocumented Student Participation in Education Abroad: An Institutional Analysis
Authors: Butler Paige E. , Madden Meggan , Smith Nickie
Published: May 2020

This research explores institutional practices supporting undocumented student participation in U.S. education abroad at a California public research university. This institution successfully enrolled more than 40 undocumented students studying abroad between 2013 and 2016. Four university staff members, an immigration attorney, and eight undocumented students who successfully studied abroad were interviewed. During this time, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was in effect through federal Executive Order, providing some protections for certain eligible youth immigrants living without current legal status in the U.S.  DACA-approved students were eligible to formally access education abroad through a federal U.S. program known as Advance Parole from late 2012 through fall 2017, when the order was rescinded. All student participants studied abroad and interviews were conducted prior to the Fall 2017 Presidential Rescission of DACA and cessation of Advance Parole study abroad opportunities for DACA students. Findings demonstrate that undocumented students navigate study abroad with specific considerations for federal, state, and institutional policies, which may contradict or misalign with institutional practices and methods traditionally utilized to support study abroad students, thus further marginalizing this underrepresented population of students.  This research highlights promising practices supporting undocumented students in education abroad and the findings from these interviews inform international educators and allies how to better support underrepresented students on and off-campus, and suggests considerations for other marginalized student populations interested in education abroad.
Los mitos latinoamericanos: Vigencia de la obra del Buen Salvaje al Buen Revolucionario
Authors: Osorio Leonardo Favio
Published: May 2020

Las sociedades latinoamericanas están llenas de mitos políticos construidos a lo largo del tiempo. Carlos Rangel (2006) en su libro “Del buen salvaje al buen revolucionario”, se propuso denunciar muchas de esas falacias elaboradas sobre todo por sectores vinculados al pensamiento marxista. En ese sentido, este trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar un análisis de esa importante obra con gran vigencia en la actualidad. El autor analiza varios mitos, entre ellos: La pureza de las sociedades indígenas, la leyenda negra sobre el conquistador hispano, la aceptación del marxismo como teoría en defensa de los desfavorecidos, el imperialismo como causa del atraso de la región, son solo algunos de las muchas retóricas equivocadas presentes en América Latina. Fue utilizado el método analítico-sintético, la hermenéutica y la heurística para la interpretación del texto. Se concluye que gran parte de los mitos analizados por Carlos Rangel en su texto se mantienen vigentes en Latinoamérica, se busca todavía construir nuevas utopías sobre la base de los mitos indígenas del buen salvaje para lograr la igualdad social, con un discurso antioccidental y antimperialista que solo ha servido para justificar varios despotismos en el continente en nombre de una revolución.
La Inflacion en la perspectiva de la Escuela Austriaca
Authors: Martinez Chapa Oshiel
Published: May 2020

El presente trabajo analiza el problema de la inflación desde la perspectiva de la Escuela Austriaca (EA), pues aun cuando se le conceptúe como “antigua”, pues data de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, tiene una explicación respecto a este y otros problemas macroeconómicos. Destacan autores como. Este paradigma se enriqueció con los aportes de Mises (1934) con Teoría del Dinero y el Crédito, Hayek (1985) con La Desnacionalización del Dinero, Ropke (1960) con A humane Economy y Rothbard (1990) con Teoría austriaca del dinero. Sin embargo, también se hace alusión respecto a esta problemática por parte de los autores de la denominada corriente principal. Se recurre a información de tipo cualitativo y cuantitativo. Como resultado de este trabajo se señala que, aunque las demás corrientes de pensamiento económico no difieren mucho en señalar los efectos de la inflación para la sociedad, la Escuela Austriaca, identifica como causas a la expansión crediticia y al déficit y deuda pública creciente. Como hallazgos derivados de la revisión de la literatura deben señalarse al creciente intervencionismo estatal, fuertes expansiones en el crédito, distorsiones en los precios y la presencia de ciclos de expansión y contracción en la economía como regularidad. De esto modo, se concluye que las instituciones financieras y políticas deben velar por el crecimiento económico con estabilidad por el bien de la sociedad.

EDUCAÇÃO E MUNDO DO TRABALHO: ALGUMAS CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA O DEBATE
Authors: Mourão Arminda Rachel Botelho
Published: May 2020

Queremos destacar inicialmente de que lugar falamos, qual a teoria que sustenta nosso trabalho. A categoria fundante é o trabalho, aqui entendido como ação do homem no mundo, que leva a modificações deste universo e, consequente, a transformação do sujeito que age, alterando também as relações sociais que se estabelecem na sociedade (MARX, 2000).

Procuramos resgatar as categorias fundamentais do método contradição, totalidade, mediação e os processos quantitativos que geram mudanças qualitativas da realidade social, pois na nossa compreensão os traços estruturais da sociedade são importantes no processo de construção do conhecimento (TRIVIÑOS, 1987).

Published: May 2020

O presente artigo, baseado na concepção marxista, evidencia que as categorias trabalho e linguagem são bases ontológicas para o desenvolvimento do homem. Destaca a relevância da formação humana omnilateral no Ensino Médio Integrado à Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT) e a produção da linguagem assume papel relevante no trabalho e na vida dos estudantes. Elaborou-se uma análise de como se dá a prática do ensino textual em turmas do ensino médio integrado do Instituto Federal do Tocantins. Aborda-se o papel da linguagem na formação do sujeito e defende a inserção dos gêneros textuais no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da linguagem já que eles colaboram no desenvolvimento linguagem auxiliando o indivíduo no processo de sua constituição como ser social e no seu trabalho.

Artikel ini merupakan artikel hasil penelitian tentang etos kerja Pendeta di gereja Banua Niha Keriso Protestan (BNKP) tahun 2017. Topik ini diteliti, mengingat BNKP sebagai organisasi gereja memiliki program umum pelayanan BNKP yang pelaksanaannya dijabarkan melalui pelayanan di aras sinodal, resort dan jemaat. Berhasilnya pelaksanaan program pelayanan umum dimaksud, sangat tergantung pada kualitas etos kerja para pelayan (Pendeta) di setiap aras. Dengan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif-desktiptif, ditemukan bahwa dari 60 orang Pendeta BNKP sebagai partisipan, memiliki kualitas etos kerja yang berbeda-beda. Sebanyak 39,26% memiliki etos kerja dengan kategori tinggi, 33,33% kategori sedang serta 27,41% kategori rendah. Data ini juga ekuivalen dengan setiap 10 (sepuluh) orang pendeta, terdapat 4 (empat) orang memiliki etos kerja dengan kategori tinggi, 3 (tiga) orang sedang dan 3 (tiga) orang rendah. Penelitian ini juga berhasil merumuskan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi etos kerja dalam konteks pelayanan BNKP, di antaranya adalah adanya krisis panggilan dan kekaburan tanggung jawab, spiritualitas dan integritas pendeta, kepemimpinan serta perbedaan latar belakang pendidikan teologi.
When Worlds Collide: Protecting Physical World Interests Against Virtual World Malfeasance
Authors: Silvia Hilary , Carr Nanci
Published: May 2020

If a virtual-world-game character is cast upon real-world property without the consent of the landowner, inducing or encouraging players to trespass, is the virtual-world creator liable for damages? The United States Supreme Court has recognized that digital technology presents novel issues, the resolution of which must anticipate its further rapid development. It is beyond dispute that protective legislation will be unable to keep up with rapidly evolving technology. The burden of anticipating and addressing issues presented by emerging technologies will ultimately fall upon the businesses responsible for generating them. This duty was most notably adopted by the creators of Pokémon Go in settlement of nuisance and trespass claims brought by a nationwide class seeking injunctive relief from the placement of virtual Pokéstops and Pokémon Gyms (“Gyms”) on real property. This article is the first to address this landmark settlement and proposes that future developers and creators seeking to avoid similar liability exposure implement self-regulatory practices, such as Value Sensitive Design, to create human values-based frameworks within which they can create and advance technologies. The societal need and social impact of such self-regulation is clearly illustrated by emerging litigation seeking to hold virtual-world actors responsible for real-world consequences utilizing common law tort theories. In the absence of legislation, as case law develops, self-regulatory frameworks like Value Sensitive Design are essential to create constructs within which creators can develop technologies that consider human values, address civic concerns, and avoid lawsuits, while still achieving commercial and technological objectives.
