Aquavision Alchemy Illuminating Underwater Imagery Through Medium Transmission
Authors: P Sangeeta
Published: April 2024

Restoring underwater scenes often involves addressing interference caused by the underwater environment. Many existing methods overlook the scale-related characteristics inherent in these scenes. To tackle this, we propose a synergistic multi-scale detail refinement method for enhancing underwater scene details. This approach comprises multiple stages, starting with a low-degradation stage that enriches original images with multi-scale details using the Adaptive Selective Intrinsic Supervised Feature module. ASISF, through intrinsic supervision, precisely manages feature transmission across different degradation stages, refining multi-scale details while minimizing irrelevant information. Within the framework, we introduce the Bifocal Intrinsic-Context Attention Module, which efficiently utilizes multi-scale scene information by leveraging spatial contextual relationships. Throughout training, a multi-degradation loss function enhances the network's ability to extract information across various scales. The proposed method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods when evaluated against them. Key Words: Interference mitigation, Multi-scale detail refinement, Intrinsic supervision, Spatial contextual relationships.

NEW ERA OF VISION TO ENVISION USING YOLO
Authors: Sree S. Renuka
Published: April 2024

We provide a new approach to crowd counting in this research that makes use of the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm. We show how well YOLO performs in precisely identifying and counting people in congested environments. Our method seeks to overcome the difficulties associated with crowd observation and analysis in real time. Urban planning, public safety, and event management are just a few of the many areas where crowd counting is important and dynamic. Occlusions, size variations, and congested settings are only a few of the challenges that traditional approaches frequently face in providing precise and timely crowd estimates. This study presents a unique method for accurate and efficient crowd counting that leverages the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm. Through the utilization of YOLO's sophisticated object identification capabilities, our suggested approach provides a reliable way to compute crowd sizes in real-time situations. We provide an in-depth examination of the difficulties involved in crowd counting and show, by intensive testing and assessment on many datasets, how successful our YOLO-based method is. Our findings demonstrate the People counting, Image-based crowd estimation, Video analytics, Data preprocessing, Performance evaluation. Keywords— Crowd counting, Object detection, YOLO (You Only Look Once), Deep learning, Computer vision, Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), Image processing, Crowd analysis, Real-time monitoring, Surveillance systems,

Watershed rehabilitation with forest gardens in Moneragala District, Sri Lanka
Authors: Melvani Kamal , Moles Jerry , Everett Yvonne
Published: April 2024

Forests in mountainous watersheds sustain water flows, providing a valuable lifeline in times of no rain. The clearance and destruction of forests, for plantations and modern chena cultivation, degrades watersheds, resulting in the loss of these ecosystem services, impoverishing people and diminishing watershed sustainability. The Neo Synthesis Research Centre (NSRC) has been involved in rehabilitating Sri Lankan watersheds for over 30 years, which has included implementing forest gardens (FGs) in Maragalakanda. The article describes the rehabilitation of one farmer's land (referred to as Rani), which resulted in increased household livelihood security, reversed forest loss, and sustained watershed health. The rehabilitation efforts followed a successional process, using regenerative agriculture, analog forestry, and conservation forestry. The landscape design divided Rani’s landholding into several land uses. In addition to the forest gardens which were modelled on the adjacent forest, there were paddy fields, chena and cash crop areas, and a buffer zone between the disturbed natural forest and the landholding. Comprised of 175 different species, the forest gardens provide various regulatory ecosystem services, and over half provide food, medicine, timber, firewood, ornamentals and biopesticides, which are either used for household consumption or sold to generate income. Monitoring and evaluation revealed positive impacts on biodiversity, soil fertility, and food and income security. By 2013, Rani's landholding had become a biodiversity corridor, attracting more birds and increasing her total income to USD 32 241, mainly thanks to her forest gardens. As a result, Rani achieved financial stability, enabling her to invest in and educate all five of her children, eliminating any need to clear forests for livelihood. Despite an average FG profit of USD 24 413, challenges of increased rainfall variability, animal pests, and rising costs of purchases stress her newfound livelihood. Nonetheless, watershed rehabilitation with forest gardens succeeded in reversing forest loss, restoring ecosystem services, and increasing livelihood security. To ensure more households benefit as Rani’s did, policymakers and planners must consider population growth and allocate new lands for expanding watershed populations while implementing laws to prevent forest destruction.
Towards a sustainable business model for rubber agroforestry in Indonesia
Authors: Mulyoutami Elok , Mawesti Dia , Triana  , Purwanto Edi , Widayati Atiek
Published: April 2024

Agroforestry systems, particularly rubber agroforests, are crucial for Dayak communities in Indonesia, providing economic benefits and vital assets for their livelihoods. Two common types in Simpang Dua sub-district are tembawang (traditional fruit gardens) and rubber agroforests. Both have flourished for generations but they now face threats of conversion due to declining rubber prices and the oil palm boom. Tembawang is considered more resilient due to better protection of tenure rights under local customary law and its greater provision of socioeconomic benefits. In some instances, rubber agroforests are only maintained because of their deep rooted social and cultural importance, but they have potential to still be economically valuable. Rubber agroforests can provide a diversified income, offering resilience against volatile rubber markets, and although oil palm provides higher income in the short term, rubber agroforests can provide higher income over the entire system cycle. Long-term financing is essential to improve yields and product quality, to support smallholder rubber agroforests, but obtaining this type of financing is difficult. Obstacles include low rubber prices, poor-quality latex, a lack of productivity of agroforestry crops and low attention from investors, financiers, and markets. Non-commercial financial support, including technical support, could help strengthen farming practices and market-based instruments, including carbon payments, could help stabilise farmers' income. The expansion, however, of large-scale oil palm plantations has shifted the rural labour force from rubber smallholders to plantation workers. Efforts to address these challenges include the establishment of a rubber processing and collective marketing unit, UPPB, to improve market access and prices for smallholder farmers. Founded in 2022, the unit aims to arrange collective marketing and provide technical capacity for farmers to meet the specifications of Standard Indonesia Rubber. By aggregating rubber slabs, farmers can earn up to 25% higher prices than individual farmers, but irregular supplies from farmers and low prices are affecting their success. Despite facing challenges, local farmers' groups remain resilient in organising themselves to improve their systems with the support of NGOs. Commitment from government and private sector stakeholders is additionally needed to further promote sustainable and inclusive rubber agroforestry businesses.

Effect of fertilization and microbial preparations on productivity of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Authors: Yeremko Liudmyla , Hanhur Volodymyr , Staniak Mariola
Published: April 2024

The aim of the study was to optimize the nutritional status and increase the productivity of chickpeas through the application of mineral and organic-mineral fertilizers as well as microbial preparations based on nitrogen–fixing, phosphorus–mobilizing, and potassium-mobilizing microorganisms. The research was conducted in 2019-2021 in the Poltava Research Agricultural Station (Ukraine). NPK fertilizers were applied at a dose, of 20, 80, and 80 kg ha-1, respectively. Before sowing, the seeds were inoculated with the microbial preparation BiNitro Chickpea (BN) and Biofosforyn (BF). Foliar feeding was carried out with the microfertilizer Freya–Aqua™ C(12) Legumes (F). The development of chickpea leaf area and the intensity of organic matter production were largely determined by the supply of the main macronutrients to the plants. The introduction of NPK significantly increased leaf area and net photosynthetic productivity, while the effect of BN, BF, and F on the values of these indices was not significant. Their effect was manifested during the accumulation of aboveground biomass and the formation of yield structure elements. An increase in the seed yield was shown in relation to the application of NPK, microbial preparations, and micronutrient fertilizers. Regardless of the NPK, the highest yield was shown in the variant of the combination of BN+BF+F.

O ecossistema do Rio Pericumã na Baixada Maranhense abriga uma grande variedade de flora e fauna, incluindo as plantas aquáticas, também conhecidas como macrófitas. Elas contribuem na oxigenação da água fornecendo abrigo e alimento para várias espécies de animais. Em adição, purificam a água sendo essenciais para a manutenção do equilíbrio ecológico do rio. No entanto, a construção de uma barragem causou mudanças socioambientais no Rio Pericumã afetando a qualidade da água e sua biodiversidade. Em situações como essa é fundamental que a população seja educada sobre a importância em se preservar o rio e suas plantas. Nosso meandro educacional para causar esta provocação nos envolvidos foi a criação de uma cartilha em que os alunos fossem capazes de aprender sobre a importância das macrófitas e como cuidar do rio. Neste trabalho produzimos uma cartilha ilustrativa sobre as plantas aquáticas do Rio Pericumã. A cartilha ilustrativa contém informações sobre as espécies de plantas aquáticas presentes no rio, seus benefícios ecológicos, suas ameaças e o que pode ser feito para preservá-las. Assim, a cartilha pode aumentar a conscientização sobre o meio ambiente e promover a sustentabilidade na área.

VARIATIONAL ALGORITHMS OF DEEP KINEMATIC MIGRATION IN TWODIMENSIONAL MEDIA WITH HORIZONTAL VELOCITY GRADIENT
Authors: Stepanov P. Yu. , Gomanyuk Yu. A.
Published: April 2024

The paper considers three algorithms of kinematic migration (transformation of time fields of normal rays into reflecting boundaries) based on the variational theory of ray tracing developed by Professor of the Department of Seismometry and Geoacoustics of the Geological Faculty of Moscow State University T.I. Oblogina. The results of numerical experiments on theoretical models of layered media of varying complexity have revealed significant drawbacks of the “classical” variational algorithm for solving the inverse kinematic problem. Two mod- ifications of the “classical” variational algorithm are proposed in terms of calculating the starting angle of the rays’ exit from the Earth’s surface, leaving unchanged the principle of taking into account the curvature of seismic rays and refraction at intermediate boundaries: a variational algorithm using “image rays” and a kinematic migration algorithm for layered media with variable reservoir velocities, taking into account the slope of each boundary. The results obtained on theoretical models of complex environments demonstrated high efficiency of solving the inverse kinematic problem by a modified kinematic migration algorithm that takes into account the slope of each boundary.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TASKS OF THE OMBUDSMAN AS PART OF THE INDEPENDENT BODY MONITORING INAPPROPRIATE POLICE ACTIONS
Authors: Wentkowska Aleksandra
Published: April 2024

Police services and special services in a democratic state are geared toward providing the state and its citizens with security, i.e. protection against internal and external threats. However, one cannot forget that police activities, in their essence, significantly interfere with fundamental freedoms and human rights. The establishment of the civilian oversight is often a difficult process, with necessary factors such as political support, police cooperation, activist support, resources, management and leadership and public attitudes. The supervision of the police activities in the external system remains largely in Poland within the competence of the Commissioner for Human Rights. Commissioner for Human Rights is the constitutional authority for the legal control and protection, who safeguards human and civic freedoms and rights specified in the Constitution and other legal acts. In his/her activities, the Commissioner is integral and independent from other state authorities. The aim of this paper is to outline the general oversight of police mechanism, made by the Commissioner of Human Rights. The paper presents the reasons for the independent investigation of police complaints and for restoring confidence in the complaints system and in police. For this paper, the term oversight of police will be associated with the institutions outside the Police, which have power to control the way police departments handle complaints about the disputed police conduct.

THE EUROPEAN UNION AND TERRORIST THREATS: THE NEXT STEP (PART III)
Authors: Miłkowski Tomasz
Published: April 2024

In the previous two articles in the series, describing changes in the perception of terrorist threats throughout the European Union, there was presenting an outline of the European Union’s new approach to this issue, based not only on legal acts (such as Directive 2017/541 on combating terrorism) but also on documents of a strategic nature. Finally, the reader’s attention was focused on the issues of combating and counteracting the financing of terrorism, which has become the leitmotif of anti-terrorist activities in recent years. The third part will be dedicated to the dynamic changes taking place in the Schengen acquis. The rules initially regarding the mechanism for abolishing internal border controls of the countries belonging to this zone are being significantly modified before our eyes and are becoming the basis for introducing new solutions in the area of exchange and access to data between EU member states. Many of them are also to combat terrorism more effectively.

The fiscal sustainability should be understood as the government’s ability to maintain the current expenditure, tax, and fiscal policy in the long term – to avoid threatening the state’s solvency, meet its obligations, and perform public tasks. The study contains a comparative legal analysis to show how the factors contributing to the fiscal sustainability influence the ability of states to counteract crises and their consequences. Current problems related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the geopolitical situation will also be considered. The study aims to indicate the threats of destabilization of public finances, factors that may lead to it, and measures to prevent its occurrence.

THE REQUIREMENTS AND THE DEFECTS RELATED TO PRESENTING THE SIDE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION
Authors: Śladkowska Ewa
Published: April 2024

The subject of the article are considerations related to presenting the side of an administrative decision. The aim of the article was to present the requirements related to them and the defects resulting from their failure to comply. “Presentation the side of an administrative decision” was treated in a broader context. Not only as an indication (presentation) of the party in the content of the decision, but as the result of the process of determining the status of the party in the administrative proceedings. Therefore, not only the requirements and defects of a linguistic nature were presented, but above all the requirements resulting from the essence of the administrative act and related to the correct identification of the party to the proceedings, as well as defects resulting from failure to comply with these requirements. The starting point of the considerations is the obligation to present the side of an administrative decision as a consequence of the essence of the administrative act and its inextricable connection with the subject of general administrative proceedings. The defectiveness of a party’s marking in a decision may take various forms and give rise to various consequences. For example, errors in this area may be treated as unimportant and require at most correction. They may also constitute a defect requiring removal by declaring the decision invalid, or even lead to the decision being considered non-existent. The analysis conducted indicates that in court decisions, violations related to the designation of a party are a frequent subject of decisions. This article is an attempt to sort out the requirements and defects related to the „identification of the party” of the decision understood in this way.
NOTES ON THE DISCUSSION OF THE AMENDMENT OF THE LAW ON THE PROTECTION OF MONUMENTS
Authors: Rozmus Dariusz
Published: April 2024

The amendment to the Law on Monument Protection enacted in 2023 does not resolve the dispute between archaeologists, substantive museum staff, monument protection officials and the metal detector user community. The amendment does not take into account the limited human, logistical and technical capabilities of the regional delegations of the State Historic Preservation Service. I see the solution in educating metal detector users, issuing licenses, and expanding the operational capabilities of archaeologists acting as inspectors for the protection of archaeological monuments.

O estudo avalia o comércio e a qualidade de painéis compensados, realizando ensaios físicos (massa específica aparente, absorção de água) e mecânicos (flexão estática, resistência na linha de cola) em quatro empresas (A, B, C e D). Foram testadas duas espessuras (12 e 15 mm), com três painéis selecionados aleatoriamente para cada espessura, totalizando 24. Conclui-se que o comércio de painéis compensados em Manaus está em ascensão, impulsionado pela construção civil e indústria moveleira, embora a produção local seja inexistente, sendo suprida por painéis de outros estados da região norte do país. Os painéis comercializados na cidade atendem aos padrões de qualidade estabelecidos pelas normas avaliadas, evidenciando sua adequação para uso. Este cenário destaca a importância dos painéis compensados para a economia local e ressalta seu papel na indústria regional, mesmo sem produção local.
ANÁLISE ECONÔMICA DO IMPACTO DA INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL NOS TRIBUNAIS BRASILEIROS

Published: April 2024

O expressivo volume de processos e a morosidade do poder judiciário brasileiro demonstra a necessidade do desenvolvimento de novas formas que possam proporcionar celeridade no trâmite processual e maior efetividade. Mesmo porque, a morosidade e ineficácia do poder judiciário inibe novos investimentos e consequentemente prejudica o desenvolvimento social e econômico do país. Diante disso, houve a implantação da Inteligência Artificial em alguns tribunais brasileiros. A nova ferramenta tecnológica tem sido utilizada atualmente em atividades repetitivas e em procedimentos mecânicos. Não obstante o atual modo de utilização, questiona-se se a Inteligência Artificial também pode assumir função decisória. Nesse cenário, questiona-se a (in)validade dos parâmetros éticos utilizados no momento da programação da máquina e se a decisão proferida pela máquina estaria de acordo com os preceitos constitucionais. O presente artigo tem como intuito demonstrar a possibilidade do uso de Inteligência Artificial em procedimentos mecânicos e repetitivas, a fim de otimizar a atividade jurisdicional e consequentemente colaborar com o desenvolvimento econômico do país. Ademais, pretende-se demonstrar a problemática em torno das dificuldades enfrentadas pelo Brasil, em razão do congestionamento processual. Outrossim, o presente estudo foi desenvolvido mediante o método analítico-dedutivo e análise de importantes obras de Processo Civil, Economia, artigos científicos específicos sobre a temática, bem como através da análise da legislação e de dados pertinentes. Inicialmente, serão traçadas linhas gerais relacionadas ao contexto atual do Brasil, bem como sobre a implantação da Inteligência Artificial nos tribunais brasileiros, a análise baseia-se nos parâmetros econômicos, demonstrando que a nova ferramenta tecnológica pode resultar no desenvolvimento econômico do país.

Published: April 2024

O objetivo deste Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso foi elaborar uma revisão sobre a influenza aviária, abordando sua ocorrência desde seu primeiro relato até os dias de hoje, visando também incluir questões de grande importância sobre a doença, especialmente, em aves, e suas consequências na avicultura. Os estudos analisados para construção desta revisão foram selecionados nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e “PubMed” e na ferramenta de busca “Google Acadêmico”, e a sua elaboração foi no período de agosto de 2022 a janeiro de 2023. Conclui-se que as medidas de biosseguridade e vigilância são de extrema importância para impedir a entrada da doença em aviculturas, uma vez que o vírus da Influenza Aviária de Alta Patogenicidade (IAAP) possui uma grande capacidade de mutação, gerando riscos de epidemias e até pandemias, comprometendo não só a saúde de animais e pessoas, mas também a economia do país.
