PPR2033 - GB Approval Standards for AVs - Non-ADS Requirements overview report
Authors: Edwards Mervyn , Hynd David , Seidl Matthias
Published: June 2024

The UK Department for Transport (DfT) is developing a vehicle approval scheme to enable the safe and secure deployment of fully automated vehicles in Great Britain. This project developed proposals for administrative, procedural and technical requirements for all technical aspects which do not relate to the automated driving system (ADS). A proposal for the categorisation of fully automated vehicles was developed during the course of the project in collaboration with the Department. For M-/N-category vehicles the proposal included new sub-categories for dual mode (driven manually and by ADS) and single mode (driven by ADS only) vehicles. A new category was proposed for single mode Low Speed Automated Vehicles (LSAVs). For L-category vehicles a new category was proposed for fully automated single mode vehicles exclusively designed for the carriage of goods only. Proposals for pre-deployment, non-ADS technical requirements and test procedures were developed, as far as possible, by application and modification of existing technical regulations within the existing M-/N- and L-category framework regulations. Also developed were proposals for an outline approval process and modifications to the in-use regulations, e.g. Construction and Use. Also, a two- stage stakeholder consultation was performed to solicit views on the proposals and refine them. Finally aspects which require further consideration were collated for the Department’s attention.
TUTORIAL ON ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK
Authors: Nguyen Loc
Published: June 2024

It is undoubtful that artificial intelligence (AI) is being the trend of computer science and this trend is still ongoing in the far future even though technologies are being developed suddenly fast because computer science does not reach the limitation of approaching biological world yet. Machine learning (ML), which is a branch of AI, is a spearhead but not a key of AI because it sets first bricks to build up an infinitely long bridge from computer to human intelligence, but it is also vulnerable to environmental changes or input errors. There are three typical types of ML such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning (RL) where RL, which is adapt progressively to environmental changes, can alleviate vulnerability of machine learning but only RL is not enough because the resilience of RL is based on iterative adjustment technique, not based on naturally inherent aspects like data mining approaches and moreover, mathematical fundamentals of RL lean forwards swing of stochastic process. Fortunately, artificial neural network, or neural network (NN) in short, can support all three types of ML including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and RL where the implicitly regressive mechanism with high order through many layers under NN can improve the resilience of ML. Moreover, applications of NN are plentiful and multiform because three ML types are supported by NN; besides, NN training by backpropagation algorithm is simple and effective, especially for sample of data stream. Therefore, this study research is an introduction to NN with easily understandable explanations about mathematical aspects under NN as a beginning of stepping into deep learning which is based on multilayer NN. Deep learning, which is producing amazing results in the world of AI, is undoubtfully being both spearhead and key of ML with expectation that ML improved itself by deep learning will become both spearhead and key of AI, but this expectation is only for ML researchers because there are many AI subdomains are being invented and developed in such a way that we cannot understand exhaustedly. It is more important to recall that NN, which essentially simulates human neuron system, is appropriate to the philosophy of ML that constructs an infinitely long bridge from computer to human intelligence.
NLP AS A TOOL FOR CHATBOT COMMUNICATION
Authors: Sridhar Dr. Chethana , Nandyala Mrs. Thejaswi
Published: June 2024

In recent years, chatbots have gained popularity because of their potential value for business owners, staff members, and clients. The future of chatbots is, to put it mildly, life-changing, despite what we're used to and how their behaviours are largely limited to scripted conversations and responses. Although the typical usage may only call for brief responses and straightforward responses, it's crucial to understand how chatbots are developing and how Natural Language Processing (NLP) might enhance their capabilities. This feature offers several benefits and truly puts the "chat" in chatbot. The use of chatbots in the future is quite peculiar. If you take the time to give chatbots the data they need to grow and contribute to your business, it's amazing how intelligent they can be. By bridging the gap between customers and businesses, this intent-driven feature will be able to guarantee that your chatbot is someone customers want to speak to when contacting your company. You may have noticed that an increasing number of websites now include a chatbot that automatically joins in to engage the human user if you've recently spent some time browsing websites. The chatbot often extends a warm, non-threatening greeting to the person before asking them a series of questions to determine why they are visiting the website. The chatbot then makes an effort to automatically and without human assistance answer any inquiries the user may have. These chatbots are now automating online customer interaction.

FRUIT WASTE'S POTENTIAL FOR PRODUCING BIOPOLYMERS
Authors: Mayuri Tipale , Balaji Jadhav
Published: June 2024

Fruit waste includes the unused part of fruit e.g. peel, pomace, and seed. Fruit waste composed of bioactive compounds, lipids and biopolymers. According to the FAO, harvesting, transportation, and processing account for 30% of total food loss. Mango produces the most waste followed by citrus fruits, passion fruit, and peas. The fruit peel and seed include biopolymers such as cellulose, hemicelluloses, starch, pectin, and lignin. Biopolymers are entirely derived from organic sources and are used in the development of bio based films. Traditional plastic can be replaced with bio based film. Synthetic plastic has useful features, but because it is not biodegradable, it harms the entire environment. Researchers produced a bio based packaging film out of biopolymers derived from fruit waste and utilized it for food packing. This chapter discusses the fruit waste obtained from orange, apple, banana, watermelon, and mango, as well as the biopolymers obtained from it.
ECOLOGICAL-SENSORY MINDFULNESS
Authors: Singh Kowal Durlabh , Dilip Kumar Pradhan Lt Col
Published: June 2024

It is without a doubt true that nature is the foundation of all ecosystems and that all living things inherit the intelligence of nature, but every human being has the primary desire to survive, along with the need to improve livelihoods, the desire to gratify wants, and eventually the desire to control their environment—all without adhering to the moral principles of sustainable living, where development is done in the interests of both humans and nature. The necessity for natural protection is sometimes perceived as antagonistic to the goal for progress, if not diametrically opposed. Since Plato first described how humans have an impact on nature, trade-offs between the two have served as the foundation for a discussion that has troubled people in one way or another. Of course, as the rate of human intrusion into "natural" environment has accelerated in recent decades, the arguments have become much more clearly defined. Growing scarcities that are sharply differentiated by world location, class, gender, and ethnicity have been produced by capitalism's accelerating development in conjunction with economic growth and the industrialization of the nations. Due to the scarcity of natural resources and the overloading of the environment's capacity to safely dispose of toxic waste, various aspects of nature, including the spread of invasive exotic species (plants, fungi, and animals), global climate change with its unpredictable effects, and habitat fragmentation, are deteriorating rapidly.

What is Animal Dignity in Law?
Authors: Kurki Visa
Published: June 2024

The article seeks to understand dignity in the context of primarily European animal law. Its main claim is that the notion of dignity is used in animal law discourse to express claims of more-than-welfarism. Whereas welfarism is premised on the humane treatment of animals and the prevention of unnecessary suffering, animal dignity is premised on respect for animals. However, adopting dignity-premised legal regulation does not necessarily entail the abandonment of welfarism. Rather, jurisdictions that have adopted dignity-based animal law have left welfarist regulations mostly intact. Hence, in its current stage of development, dignity-based animal law does not replace but rather augments the welfarist regime by “plugging its gaps”. Dignity-based animal law is then identified as consisting of four aspects: non-instrumentalization, egalitarianism, flourishing, and essence-respect. Finally, the article discusses the relationship of dignity to intrinsic value, arguing that the legal recognition of animals’ dignity is neither necessary nor sufficient for a recognition of their intrinsic value as individuals.

Authors: Ghifari Muhammad Al , Distria Elka
Published: June 2024

Sharia accident insurance is a product of Sharia insurance that offers protection and minimizes the risk of accidents, particularly those caused by motor vehicle accidents, through contracts that comply with Sharia principles. Despite the positive developments in Sharia accident insurance products, they have not yet become a favored choice among the public, even with the high accident rates in Indonesia. This study aims to investigate the influence of literacy and attitudes on the public's interest in Sharia accident insurance. This explanatory research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing multiple linear regression for data analysis. The population consists of online motorcycle drivers operating along Buah Batu Street, Cijagra, Lengkong District, Bandung City. A non-probability sampling method, specifically incidental sampling, was used to select a sample of 50 respondents. The findings reveal that literacy does not significantly affect interest in Sharia accident insurance, whereas attitudes do have a significant impact. Additionally, literacy and attitudes collectively influence the public's interest in Sharia accident insurance. The implications of this research suggest that enhancing both literacy and positive attitudes towards Sharia accident insurance could increase public interest in these products. This study provides valuable insights for insurers and policymakers aiming to promote Sharia-compliant insurance products.

The aim of this research is to determine the influence of Organizational Culture (X) on the Performance of Non-Permanent Employees (Y). The total number of respondents was 52 respondents. The analysis used in this research is simple regression analysis. The results of the validity coefficient for the 14 statement items are 14 valid items and 0 are invalid so it can be concluded that the 14 statement items are valid as a measuring tool because they have rcount > rtable, namely 0.2732. The results of the researcher's reliability variable calculations can be concluded that all statement items are reliable as measuring tools because the Cronbach's alpha value is 0.900 > 0.60. This simple linear regression can be explained as follows: A constant of 2.231 means that the performance of non-permanent employees at the Paser Regency Public Works and Spatial Planning Service will remain at 2.279 if (X) the cultural factor remains constant or there is no change. Based on the research results, it is known that the R value is 0.717 or 71.7%, this means that there is a strong relationship between the Organizational Culture variable (X) and the employee performance variable (Y), while the coefficient of determination is 0.514 or 51.4%, meaning the performance variable employees (Y) are explained by the organizational culture variable (X), amounting to 51.4% while the remaining 48.6% is explained by other variables not included in this research. From the t test results of the organizational culture factor (x), the calculated t value is 7.278 > t table of 2.00856, which means that the organizational culture factor (x) influences employee performance at the Paser Regency Public Works and Spatial Planning Service with a significant level of 0.000 < 0 .05. So it can be concluded that the hypothesis can be accepted or H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, because the organizational culture factor (x) has a strong influence on employee performance at the Paser Regency Public Works and Spatial Planning Service.

Repercussões do julgamento do caso papeleiras pela Corte Internacional de Justiça para a gestão da Comisión Administradora del Río Uruguay
Authors: Radic Luiz Felipe , De Paiva Toledo André
Published: June 2024

Esta pesquisa teórica, de vertente jurídico-dogmática e do tipo jurídico-projetivo trata, mediante um raciocínio predominantemente dedutivo, da atuação da Comissão Administradora do Rio Uruguai em relação ao julgamento do caso papeleras por parte da Corte Internacional de Justiça, em 2010, o qual foi um divisor de águas no direito internacional dos recursos hídricos. O problema a se solucionar é se o reforço da competência autocompositiva da comissão por parte da Corte Internacional de Justiça provocou alguma alteração na forma da comissão realizar a gestão do Rio Uruguai. Nesse sentido, infere-se, a partir dos estudos realizados, que ainda não se pode chegar a uma resposta definitiva, mas que, até o momento presente, a resposta à pergunta-problema é negativa, como se demonstrará, adiante. No texto, foram apresentadas, também, a principiologia norteadora do direito internacional dos recursos hídricos e foram elaboradas considerações sobre a UN Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses.
Keywords: Uruguay River Administrative Commission; Self-composition; Papeleras case
 
ABSTRACT
This theoretical research, of a legal-dogmatic nature and the legal-projective type, through predominantly deductive reasoning, deals with the performance of the Administrative Commission of the Uruguay River concerning the judgment of the Papeleras case by the International Court of Justice in 2010, which was a watershed moment in international water resources law. The problem to be solved is whether the reinforcement of the commission's self-composing competence by the International Court of Justice has caused any change in the way the commission manages the Uruguay River. In this sense, it is inferred, from the studies conducted, that it is not possible yet to reach a definitive answer but that, up to the present moment, the answer to the problem question is negative, as will be demonstrated later. The text also presented the guiding principles of international water resources law and elaborated considerations on the UN Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses.
