Protecting Privacy in Surveillance Systems via Selective Video Encryption
Authors:   Dept. of CS&E, JNNCE, Shivamogga,, M Mr. Nandish
Published: May 2024

The "Privacy Preservation in Surveillance Video Using Selective Encryption" study addresses the issue of privacy in surveillance videos. Video surveillance systems are widely deployed in many public places such as banks, supermarkets, airports, roads, and residential areas. However, the privacy of individuals in these videos is a major concern. The proposed system aims to conceal faces while not interfering with the observation and recognition of human activities. The system uses selective encryption to encrypt only the face region of the frames while other parts of the frame are retained as it is. The proposed method is reversible for revealing faces whenever needed to the authorized person using proper secret keys. The project also aims to ensure the security of the encryption algorithm used and provide a user-friendly interface for ease of use. Overall, this study aims to provide an efficient and scalable solution to the problem of privacy in surveillances.

Authors:   D Y Patil Institute of Master Of Computer Applications and Management Akurdi,Pune, Sawant Sakshi S.
Published: May 2024

Web servers play a crucial role in delivering web content efficiently to users. When a web server receives a request, it processes the request for the requested resources. One method to optimize this process is through the use of cache servers. Cache servers store frequently accessed data in memory, reducing the need to retrieve data from the original source each time a request is made. By leveraging cache servers, web servers can significantly enhance their performance by reducing response times. When a cache server successfully serves a request with a cache hit, it eliminates the need for the web server to process the request and retrieve the data, thereby speeding up the response time. This efficiency is crucial for improving user experience, as faster response times lead to quicker loading of web pages and reduced latency. Through this technical exploration of Apache, Nginx, and Varnish cache servers, we aim to analyze and compare their performance metrics to determine the most effective solution for reducing response times and optimizing web server efficiency. Understanding how cache servers impact performance in terms of cache hit ratio, cache miss ratio, client connections, CPU usage, memory usage, error rates, requests per second, and bandwidth will provide valuable insights into selecting the best cache server solution for improved web server performance. Keywords— Cache Server, Cache, Response time, Apache, Nginx, Varnish.

It's challenging to automatically produce brief descriptions of an image's meaning because it can have diverse connotations in different languages. However, due to the vast amount of information packed into a single image, it is challenging to parse out the necessary context to use it to build sentences. It's a great way for the visually impaired to get around independently. This type of system can be built using the emerging programming technique of deep learning. This paper presents the development of an Image Caption Bot designed to aid individuals with visual impairments. We achieve enhanced accuracy in caption generation by modeling on the MSCOCO dataset using a Transformer encoder and Inception v3 for image processing. Image captioning, which entails generating textual descriptions for images, is the primary focus of our research. We achieve enhanced accuracy in caption generation by utilizing a Transformer encoder during training. The MSCOCO dataset serves as a valuable The results of the model are translated into speech for the benefit of the visually handicapped. Keywords—CNN, Google Text To Speech, MS-COCO, Inspection v3.

The Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI): Did It Help or Harm a Friend?
Authors: Brown Terry M.
Published: May 2024

Helpem Fren, Michael Wesley's diplomatic history of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI), the Australian-led multilateral intervention in Solomon Islands from 2003–2017, is a near definitive study of the intervention from an Australian perspective.
As such, it shares some of the failures of RAMSI itself, such as overconfidence in its success. The reviewer, based on his experience of living in the Solomons during many years of the RAMSI intervention, examines both the strengths and weaknesses of RAMSI and this volume, its semi-official
history. These include RAMSI's early success in peacemaking and its more problematic long-term exercise in state building, including its inflexible entrenchment in law and justice, finance, and governance sectors to the exclusion of support for sustainable human development. The reviewer notes
areas not dealt with in the book, including RAMSI's cost and its relations with the Solomon Islands Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the churches. While Helpem Fren is an essential study for understanding the Australian role in RAMSI, its strictly Australian perspective calls
for further critical study of RAMSI.
Tracing the 'continuum of violence' between Nigeria and Libya: How the movement of people from Edo State fuels the Libyan conflict economy
Authors: de Haan Leah , Aghedo Iro , Eaton Tim
Published: May 2024

Despite being thousands of miles apart, Libya and Edo State in southern Nigeria are connected by a centuries-old route for trade and the movement of people. Since the outbreak of conflict in Libya in 2011, it has become a major route for human-smuggling and -trafficking. This research paper traces the movement of people along that route and reveals a transnational ‘continuum of violence’, connecting structural violence in Edo State to direct violence against Nigerians and other people moving in Libya’s conflict economy. By identifying causal loops and feedback mechanisms at work, the paper shows how the levels of violence escalate along the route and lead to people becoming part of an ‘abuse-for-profit’ system in Libya. The paper contends that by adopting a broader ‘conflict and violence’ approach in place of a narrower one focused on border and migration management, policymakers can disrupt the continuum and reduce the violence and social pressures that fuel it.
The Strategic Approach to Countering Cybercrime (SACC) framework: helping countries to tackle the growing threat to their economic and national security from cybercrime
Authors: Hakmeh Joyce , Saunders Jamie
Published: May 2024

Cybercrime is a growing threat to global prosperity and national security around the world. Recent attacks against critical national interests in the US, Costa Rica and Ireland, among others, have shown the serious impact that malicious cyber activity can have. As the global threat of cybercrime continues to escalate in scale and complexity, both within and across borders, the need for countries to take a collaborative and strategic approach is clear. Countering cybercrime effectively requires a unified effort, with relevant stakeholders joining forces to assess the scale and nature of the threat, establish priorities, identify the optimal mix of interventions, evaluate the impact of adopted strategies, and adapt responses. This research paper presents a framework for a strategic approach to countering cybercrime – an adaptable toolkit designed to help national authorities and practitioners to meet the challenge.
SECT and DECT coronarography
Authors: Stojaković Tara , Dolić Krešimir
Published: May 2024

Coronary artery disease is an atherosclerotic disease of the coronary arteries with consequent development of ischemic heart disease and is one of the leading causes of death in developed and developing countries. The “golden” standard in the diagnosis of coronary disease is invasive coronarography, but with the development of coronary CT angiography, a sub-millimetre precise assessment of the anatomy of coronary arteries and heart has been made possible. While in the earlier stages, SECT devices were used for the needs of coronary CT angiography with synchronization with the ECG, the development of DECT devices enabled a significant rise in the performance of coronary CT angiography in the form of a better assessment of anatomy and stenoses of the coronary arteries caused by plaque, the possibility of assessing heart perfusion, obtaining an image with a minimal amount of artifacts, a smaller amount of applied iodine contrast agent, better characterization of the atherosclerotic plaque and its components, and all of the above with a lower radiation dose for the patient. While most of the conducted research speaks in favour of DECT devices versus SECT devices, the issue of inadequate utilization of the numerous possibilities of DECT devices in everyday clinical practice remains. The DECT technique can be implemented in several ways, depending on the structure of the DECT device (on the number of radiation sources, the structure/arrangement of detectors, or the use of filters), but the question of which type of DECT technique/device to use depends on the disadvantages and advantages of individual devices as well as on the final goal of diagnostic procedures.

Export Intensity and Total Factor Productivity in Kenya’s Manufacturing Sector
Authors: Kimolo Dorothy , Njaramba Jennifer , Chesang Laban
Published: May 2024

Kenya has adopted an export-led manufacturing industrialization strategy as envisaged by many policy documents including the Kenya Vision 2030 which aimed at increasing the manufacturing share in Gross Domestic Product to 15 per cent by 2022. The share of manufactured exports in all exports was targeted at 60 per cent by 2022 as per the National Exports Development and Promotion Strategy. However, manufacturing sector’s productivity has been declining as demonstrated by its economic contribution which has averaged around 10 per cent from 2007 to 2022 and has persistently declined from 12.79 per cent in 2007 to 7.83 per cent in 2022 pointing towards premature deindustrialization. Besides, from 2007 to 2022, the share of total exports made up of manufactured goods averaged 33 per cent. The study aimed to estimate firms’ total factor productivity (TFP) and examine the impact of export activity on firms’ TFP in Kenya’s manufacturing industry. Firm TFP was computed utilizing the Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) technique. The study employed Propensity Score Matching and a dynamic panel model estimated using the generalized methods of moments technique, to analyze the effect of exporting on firms TFP. Export intensity, labor productivity and management experience had positive effects on firm’s TFP. However, firm size and capital intensity had negative effects on TFP. Based on the study findings, the government should emphasize on export promotion policies as well as adoption of labor intensive technologies in Kenya’s manufacturing sector.
Alcohol Policies, Consumption and Government Revenue: Indonesia
Authors: Nugroho Nurprasetia Adi
Published: May 2024

Research on alcoholic beverage consumption and related policies in Indonesia is minimal. Therefore, this study examines how policies affect alcohol consumption and government revenue, specifically excise tax revenue. First, this paper discusses the effect of alcohol tax policies and finds that an increase in the excise tax leads to increased product consumption. The implication is that the government must consider reform of the unrecorded alcohol market and alcohol tax. Subsequently, this paper discusses the effects of alcohol policy change and shows that tax changes lead to short-term reductions on alcohol consumption; thus, the government may perform frequent policy changes to reduce consumption. This paper also shows that a total ban negatively affects consumption; however, the reduction only affects the recorded alcohol supply, which is taxed and within government control.
Understanding the Drivers of Illicit Alcohol: An Analysis of Selected Country Case Studies
Authors: Witt Daniel , Nagy Janos
Published: May 2024

In addition to depriving governments of revenue from legitimate economic actors, the illicit alcohol trade is a major threat to public health. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) 2017 guidance on alcohol taxation has been influential in driving policies on this subject, particularly in developing countries. However, their analysis and limited academic literature do not fully account for the distinction between the licit and illicit markets, even though the illicit market leads to serious public health risks. Complementary to the WHO’s concerns, this paper seeks to add an additional perspective by suggesting that high rates of tax cause diversion to the illicit market, and the analysis of that market should include the effects of taxation. Government policies on alcohol and taxation should therefore account for the illicit market and avoid diversion to it, to reduce harm to public health. The paper offers an analysis and recommendations for customs, tax, and public health officials to discourage the illicit market and avoid tax leakage, such as use of tax stamps, coordination with industry and more holistic enforcement measures. Several case studies, using data from an international consultancy that has researched the illicit market, illustrate the themes of the article. The authors call for additional research in the academic community to further define the causal relationship between tax, affordability, and the size of the illicit market and to tailor enforcement strategies that address specific aspects of the illicit market in particular countries. The serious health risks associated with illicit alcohol consumption make such research a necessary and complementary component of WHO efforts to advance public health.

Bolstering Resilience in Customs: The Wellbeing of Our People
Authors: Valamalua Akosita , Mohanakumar Shirley , Ranathunga Indu , Mendonza Sanduli
Published: May 2024

Bolstering resilience should apply equally to our organisational systems and our people. Our people are the greatest asset of our customs administrations, and the wellbeing of our workforce directly impacts the effective performance of our administrations. While positive steps have been taken to strengthen organisational resilience within customs administrations, this paper contends the resilience of our people, and the subject of mental health, is not sufficiently addressed in our administrations. This paper recommends customs administrations place equal importance on the mental and physical health of their employees by putting frameworks and guidelines in place and that these are backed by practical actions to build resilience in the customs workforce. Every customs officer can take action to change the resilience culture in our customs administrations by initiating the conversation on mental health and eradicating the stigma. As our customs administrations face a complex and rapidly changing future, it is critical that we not only build organisational resilience, but that we also focus on the resilience of our people.

Published: May 2024

La expansión del SARS-CoV-2 originó una gran transformación en la movilidad a escala global y local, pues a la inmovilidad forzada se sumó la modificación de las pautas de desplazamiento cotidiano y de variación residencial. La estructura territorial tuvo un papel decisivo en ella, siendo fundamental la conformación insular en el caso de Canarias. Así, el objetivo general de esta investigación es la identificación del impacto diferenciado de la movilidad residencial durante la pandemia, para lo cual se utiliza la Estadística de variaciones residenciales (2019-2021) y una encuesta realizada entre el 26 de abril y el 21 de junio de 2022 con cuestiones relativas a los procesos migratorios, al cambio de vivienda y a la segunda vivienda. Los resultados obtenidos matizan las tendencias de movilidad que se apreciaron en otras áreas de la geografía española a consecuencia del propio carácter insular.

Four pot sizes (8, 10, 12, and 14 inches) were used as treatments in this experiment, which followed a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The results showed a significant relationship between pot size and crop yield. Among all the pot sizes, the highest marketable yield of broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage was found from 14-inch pots (261.33 g, 925.33 g, and 1105 g), while 8-inch pots yielded the lowest for all three crops (74.67 g, 330.67 g, and 300 g) respectively. Interestingly, the cauliflower plants in the largest pots (14 inches) took the longest time to mature (61.33 days), while delayed curd formation in broccoli (54.67 days) and head formation in cabbage (66.33 days) was found in 8-inch pots. Overall, cole crops like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage yielded more in larger pots (14-inch) compared to smaller pots.

Reflexões sobre uma proposta de didática semiótica e suas contribuições para o ensino
Authors: Borges Aline de Gregorio Alves , Pinho Aparecida Maria Xenofonte de
Published: May 2024

Este artigo levanta questionamentos sobre as menções ao termo “análise semiótica” constantes na redação do texto da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). O documento, que tem por objetivo orientar e normatizar as redes de ensino públicas e privadas, nos níveis fundamental e médio, utiliza em diversos trechos do Manual para área de Linguagens e seus Códigos, a expressão, entretanto, sem nenhuma indicação sobre a fundamentação teórica em que se alicerça.  Uma das possibilidades de adoção teórico- metodológica, seria a da teoria Semiótica Discursiva, de origem francesa, cujo arcabouço foi delineado pelo linguista lituano Algirdas Julien Greimas (1917-1992) por meio do percurso gerativo de sentido (PGS). Para Diana Barros (1990), o percurso procura descrever e explicar o que o texto diz e como ele faz para dizer o que diz. Ocupa-se, portanto, do sentido do texto pelo exame do seu plano de conteúdo. Para além do PGS, a Semiótica expandiu suas fronteiras de análise para vários ramos da atividade humana, propondo modelos pautados nos aspectos invariantes e as especificidades do objeto a ser estudado (variantes). Apesar da expansão das fronteiras de análise semiótica, a proposta deste artigo é o de discutir a possibilidade de aplicação dos preceitos semióticos não apenas como subsídio de processos analíticos dos diversos tipos de texto ou atividades humanas, mas também como proposto por Jacques Fontanille (2021): como uma forma de intervenção da prática pedagógica didática, ou seja, de uma Semiótica Didática, propriamente dita, capaz de projetar o efeito de sentido no processo educacional.

A literatura acadêmica sobre a expansão das cadeias de produção tem chamado a atenção para um processo de concentração das empresas processadoras e ou de comercialização externa, configurando mudanças na estrutura de mercado. A literatura agrícola tem evidenciado, entre eles; Martínez (2002), Guanziroli; Souza F; Valente Júnior (2008), Crespi; Saitone; Sexton (2012), que nos sistemas agroindustriais, estruturas de mercado concentrada tem levado ao exercício do poder de mercado, com prejuízos para os fornecedores à medida que com grande poder de mercado, os compradores podem levar o fornecedor a reduzir preços, exigir fidelidade, entre outros. Assim, o presente trabalho objetivou mensurar o grau de concentração econômica no elo à jusante da cadeia produtiva da soja no Estado do Maranhão, especificamente nas mesorregiões sul e leste. Para isso, foram utilizados dados secundários referentes à movimentação de cargas pelo Porto do Itaqui nos anos 2011 a 2015 e utilizado medidas de estrutura de mercado com os índices de concentração: Razão de Concentração (CRk) e o índice de Herfindahl-Hirschman (HHI). Os índices de concentração econômica evidenciaram em todos os anos da pesquisa um mercado altamente concentrado, segundo classificação dos órgãos pertinentes, configurando uma estrutura de mercado compatível com a posição de oligopsônio, tendo em vista que poucas empresas dominaram o mercado de fatores de produção. No ano de 2015 (ano final da pesquisa), os indicadores de concentração evidenciaram uma diminuição considerável ou uma tendência de desconcentração. Essa desconcentração nos leva a associar ao início das operações do Terminal de Grãos do Maranhão (TEGRAM).

Published: May 2024

O livro didático é um dos recursos mais utilizados no espaço escolar. Assim, as representações partilhadas por meio desse recurso exercem influências sobre o público a que se destina. Diante disso, questiona-se: qual é a Representação Social de mulher partilhada pela obra didática Prisma: ciências humanas, volume Brasil da Diversidade: Sociedade e Direitos? Para responder ao questionamento, elencou-se como objetivos, identificar a Representação Social da mulher na obra didática Prisma: Ciências humanas – Brasil da diversidade: sociedade e direitos e discutir as possibilidades de abordagens sobre as questões femininas a partir do ensino de Geografia. Desse modo, através da Teoria da Representação Social (RS), de Serge Moscovici, analisou-se o volume mencionado e identificou-se que há uma representação positiva sobre a mulher, uma vez que evidencia o empoderamento e distintas formas de ativismo feminino em diferentes escalas geográficas. Além disso, enaltece o protagonismo de mulheres de diferentes idades, etnias e contextos. Assim sendo, percebe-se que a figura feminina é valorizada e evidenciada como atuante. Nesse sentido, para o ensino de Geografia que fica passível de ser trabalhado pela área de conhecimento de Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas, pode-se encontrar terreno fértil nesse cenário, no entanto, a depender da formação do professor, corre-se o risco de esvaziamento de conteúdos, uma vez que as temáticas  são abordadas de forma muito superficial, necessitando de aprofundamento por parte desse profissional que pode encontrar dificuldades em geografizá-los de forma satisfatória.

The article is based on the system of professional training of future teachers in higher educational institutions of the country. Today, an independent country is a country that determines the possibilities of future development, taking into account modern processes, technologies that provide its own system, model and quality of national education. Kazakhstan as a sovereign state, the signing of the Lisbon Declaration and participation in the Bologna process, etc. reflect its place in the global educational space.

The era of the Soviet Union proved that real national literature cannot be created under colonialism. The "Socialist realism" method created by the authorities had a reverse impact on the nature of the artistic image. The characters in the work are politicized. Special attention was paid to the class division (rich and poor), and the images were depicted one-sidedly. The collapse of the USSR allowed the development of a new type of literature in the post-Soviet countries. In the research paper, we made comparisons, and the damage caused by the method of "socialist realism" to fiction is mentioned. However, these years were also successful. Kazakh literature has developed in terms of genres. The genre of the novel has been mastered. Talented writers have mastered describing the reality of life with clues. Literary tradition and skill practices were used in the literature of the period of Independence. The fate and history of the nation were shown in innovative novels. Modern realities and changed human psychology were depicted together with the world space. A stream of postmodern, realistic novels came to literature. The release of the novel from political restrictions allowed genre change (historical, biographical, satirical, fantasy, etc.). The storytelling style has been renewed. There was new artistic and stylistic research in creating a hero’s personality.

Research by scientists shows that the modern way of life in the family and the organization of the educational process at school does not provide the biological need for the school body to move. The daily motor activity of elementary school students decreases by 50 percent compared to preschoolers, and high school students - by 75 percent. The lack of motor activity of schoolchildren leads to a decrease in the level of physical fitness. The reform of general education and vocational schools has set new tasks for the entire education system to improve the educational process and educate the younger generation.The article examines the motor mode of secondary school students. When conducting pedagogical observations and a questionnaire survey, the characteristic features of the manifestation of children's motor activity during the day, changes in the volume of activity against the background of daily activities, the proportion of dynamic and static loads coming to the body and background energy consumption of children were taken into account. The physical fitness of the students was determined during physical education lessons based on the results of the test tasks: running speed for various distances and strength exercises. The indicators of height, weight, dynamometry, motor and strength indicators were studied. Based on the results of the research, methodological recommendations have been developed for physical education teachers and parents. The purpose of these recommendations is to provide the most accessible, physiological substantiation material for the preparation of a training program.

Ways of solving interpersonal conflicts within the framework of the theory of psychological relations were analyzed in the article. The level of tensions in the relationships of the couples who participated in the experiment was determined by the subjects' own assessments. The test subjects had the opportunity to determine the results independently after the psychotherapeutic effects carried out in a period of 2 months. The nature of interpersonal conflicts was grouped according to the degree of visibility, duration, content of interaction in the course of the research. It became known that the degree of resolution of bilateral tensions is related to the length of the "hidden period" in the process of conflicts. It was found that conflicts, which flare up quickly and escalate quickly which are recognized by the respondents as highly controversial whom are easily amenable to psychotherapy. On the other hand, it was concluded that the conflicts, which do not have the appearance of an open conflict are assessed as not having too high a degree of escalation, require intensive intervention. It was conducted by M.Kh.Dulaty Taraz Regional University. The intermediate results of the experiments were reported and discussed at the seminar of Zhambyl region psychologists on the theme «The role of psychological activity in the development of the Mediation Institute».

The article discusses in detail the concept of "psychologism", which has not yet been fully studied in Kazakh literature. Psychologism is closely related to literature, because since the main object of a work of art is a person, it is obvious that human activity and psychology are also reflected in the work. Consequently, psychologism is the connecting link between literature and psychology.

In the article we will consider cylindrical shells, their definition and properties of cylindrical shells, as well as examples of their application. We will also consider methods for calculating cylindrical shells. A cylindrical shell is a geometric body formed by turning a rectangle around one of its sides. The result is a cylinder whose bases are two parallel and equal rectangles, and the side surface is a surface formed by rotating the rectangle around one of its sides. Cylindrical shells have two main elements – the base and the side surface. The bases of the cylindrical shell are parallel and equal rectangles, and the side surface is a surface formed by rotating the rectangle around one of its sides. A cylindrical shell with filling is considered. They are in an axisymmetric stress state. The case is considered when the filler has the shape of a hollow cylinder or an elastic cone. The results of calculations for each case are presented.
