Authors: S. Girase Dhiraj , G. Girase Rahulsing , P. Girase Prasad , R. Jaiswal Neha
Published: December 2022

The development of microbiology began in the 19th century with the invention of the culture medium. Bacterial culture was the first method to study human microbiota in 1860. Louis pasteur was the first to propagate bacteria on culture media. The culture media provides the essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and some growth factors for the proper development of bacteria. Nowadays, these growth medias are prepared by different expensive chemical ingredients in laboratories for research experiments, which ultimately makes our experiments expensive. Instead of using high-cost culture media, fruit waste material could prove to be a good alternate source for the production of low-cost media. The waste generated in household practices and kitchen includes vegetables and fruit waste. It is waste that almost every house generates every day. It can serve as a good source of nutrients and vitamins for in microorganisms. Hence these materials can be used to formulate solid media for the growth of bacteria. In the current study waste material like mango peels, banana peels, lemon peels and ground nut shell have been included to formulate the media. This material was collected from kitchen waste and vegetable market. Comparing the growth of organism (lactobacillus bulgaricus) standard commercial media and fruit waste with agar, it was found that the media prepared from fruit waste serves as a good and inexpensive source of nutrients for many bacteria. Thus, it can good be feather and used commercially for isolation and cultivation of various microorganisms.

Published: December 2022

The concepts of drug dosing and route of administration of drugs play a vital role in the biological efficacy of drugs. The selection of proper dosage forms and frequency of drug administration are essential for acquiring desired biological effects of drugs. In Ayurveda, the term Kalpana resembles various dosage forms, i.e., liquid, semisolid, and solid. Kalka, Vati, Bhasma, Asava/ Arishta, Kwatha, Churna, etc., are various dosage forms utilized in Ayurveda therapies mainly for internal administration of drugs. Asava and Arista, two important Ayurvedic formulations, have been used for more than 3000 years for the treatment of various diseases. They are effective, palatable, stable, and most importantly, they have no side effects. Arishtas and asavas are self-generated herbal fermentations of traditional Ayurvedic system. They are alcoholic medicaments prepared by allowing the herbal juices or their decoctions to undergo fermentation with added sugars. Arishtas are made with decoctions of herbs in boiling water. Asavas are prepared by fermentation of fresh herbal juices. The formulation prepared by fermentation of decoction is called arishtas, while that prepared without fermentative preparation without decoction is called Asava. Acharya Sarangadhara described the preparation and properties of different Asava and Arista. Baisajyaratnavali, also known as Ayurveda's therapeutic index, mentioned more than 40 Asava and Arista preparations for treating various diseases. This paper aims to document the available information about the different Asava and Arista with their therapeutic applications.

Introduction: The root canal system (RCS) is among the complex parts of the body that consists of several anatomical variations. The RCS has also been classified according to different classifications. In one of the classification systems, the RCS consists of the main canal, lateral canal, collateral canal, secondary canal, intercanal, accessory canal (AC), and recurrent canal, whereas in the other classification system, which was presented by the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) in 2020, the RCS consists of the C-shaped canal, lateral canal, furcation canal, and AC. Many researches have already been conducted on using micro-CT in describing the RCS classification in various teeth groups in the jaws. The micro-CT is a method used for the endodontic study, including the morphological study of the RCS. It is one of the non-destructive and high-resolution techniques that is beneficial in obtaining three-dimensional (3D) teeth structures. The method is similar to computed tomography and allows obtaining sections as well as 3D reconstruction of the studied object. Based on the above-mentioned findings, the authors discussed that canals are usually more long oval or ribbon-shaped at the coronal levels, then become oval or round shaped about 1 mm from the apical foramen, indicating that canal shape and number change in the apical third. Conclusion and future perspectives: The micro-CT could be a useful technology in the clinical study of canals, developmental grooves, and comparison of treatment and diagnostic strategies.

REVIEW IN IMAGES ENHANCEMENT MEDICAL USING CURVELET TRANSFORM AND VECTOR INFORMATION
Authors: Al_mola Sahera
Published: December 2022

The use of medical imaging for the purposes of medical monitoring and diagnosis has seen tremendous growth in recent years, which has resulted in a rising need for suitable data storage and accessibility. The primary goal of image enhancement is to generate a processed image that is suitable for a specific application. This can be accomplished by acquiring the image in the highest resolution possible or by using a variety of techniques to extract the important information while ignoring the irrelevant information. Image processing can then be performed on the processed image. Image enhancement techniques are used in medical imaging to increase the quality of the visual representation of an image by reducing the amount of noise present and sharpening the features. This study examines the Curvelet transform-based approach for increasing medical image quality. The contribution of the proposed review two steps are advised for optimizing the images. The first step is the optimization step utilizing the Curvelet transform, which featured a series of image-preparation processors. Curvelet's ability to extract complete spectrum information from an image with varying edge orientations makes it valuable for assessing data about wave propagation. In light of this, the curvelet transform is considered an excellent filter for improving and denoising images, and it is intended to deal with components in several orientations and scales. The primary objective of this treatment is to boost visibility and eliminate noise, which is superior to conventional techniques of enhancement in which the enhancement step is performed by discrete curvelet transform through wrapping.
The contribution of the proposed review the usual vector is the second step of this review approach. The vector image is distributed randomly to each pixel in images that are unclear and noisy. This procedure eliminates the unpredictability in the previously computed directions and makes them regular, producing more precise results and enhancing image clarity, particularly at the image's edges. By comparing the results of the proposed technique of improvement to the results of existing improvement methods, it was determined that the proposed approach yields superior performance and is more efficient. The efficiency and efficacy of the suggested technique may be determined based on the results of the trials, which demonstrated that the method performs very well and yields accurate and precise results.
Blood rites - reconnecting with the innate feminine
Authors: Sauca Mirela-Lucia
Published: December 2022

This study explored women’s experiences of menarche and menstruation as they developed a deeper understanding and relationship with their bodies through ritualised menstrual practices of communing with Earth over three consecutive menstrual cycles. The qualitative methodology of interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used, and data was collected using in-depth semi-structured interviews with three participants. The interview transcripts were analysed adopting a strategy of line-by-line analysis and specialised software was used to identify emergent themes and patterns. Four superordinate themes emerged: negative beliefs, relationship with menstrual cycle, transpersonal correlations of menstrual cycle, and connection with the Feminine. The findings showed that through ritual practices of collecting blood and giving it to the soil, all three women were able to transform previously negative attitudes and redefine their relationship with their menstrual cycle, blood, bodies and minds. They became more aware of their bodies’ cyclical and relational nature, making transpersonal associations and connections with the Feminine thereby demonstrating the power of healing through rituals.
INDIA – A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL PLAYER LOCATED BETWEEN BRICS AND THE OCCIDENTAL POWERS
Authors: BUȘE Dorel
Published: December 2022

India is one of the two demograpic superpowers of the world and one of the most important regional  actors with a great deal of potential for playing an important part on the world stage. From a military point of view, India is the fourth most powerful country in the world, according to Global Power, economically speaking,  being the fifth most powerful contry on a global scale, with growing trends, while geographically speaking, it is the seventh largest country in terms of area, however, it occupies a very advantageous geopolitical position. India is seen as a strong voice within BRICS and the UN against proposals or actions that could harm the interests of any member. It rejected China's proposal to invite Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Mexico into BRICS because India believed that the focus should be on developing the current members rather than inviting other weaker nations and that bringing these nations would drag BRICS down as an alliance and ultimately meet the same fate as the European Union. At the same time, different issues of the regional security ecuation of Asia (South-East Asia – India) – Pacific and complications which have resulted from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the ierarchy of the most influencial international actors make India’s standing and role more impotant in decision-making on both a regional and a global level.
PUTIN’S POLICY IN UKRAINE: A DESTRUCTIVE, UGLY, ATTRITION BASED WAR, FOUGHT AIMLESSLY, FOR THE SAKE OF WAR
Authors: CHIFU Iulian
Published: December 2022

It is a challenge to try to draw conclusions and find the characteristics of an ongoing crisis. Even more so when it is a large-scale war, like the one fought by Russia in Ukraine, a war already defined as a war of aggression of Russia in Ukraine, unprovoked, illegal and unjustified, an invasion of Russia in Ukraine aimed at conquering new territories for Moscow to annex. But, after three months of war, some basic arguments are already in place and it is worth assessing the regularities of this war and its particularities in a way that allows us to predict the evolution of this war. And if no two wars are alike, comparisons give us hints about previous behaviors and perspectives of evolution. In this case, the 7 districts buffer zone in Nagorno Karabakh could give us a hint on the way the destruction of Eastern Ukraine will be used in the future by Russia to deny any the presence of weapons close to its borders

THE CREATION OF AN INTEGRATED STRUCTURE OF RAPID REACTION AT EUROPEAN LEVEL AGAINST TERRORISM
Authors: CHIȚAC Ciprian
Published: December 2022

Having as a starting point the end of the Cold War and the proliferation of terrorism at an unprecedented scale, the threats aimed at national security have become ambiguous, and the potential enemies are either classical structures, units and large units from within military structures, or structures of terrorist or paramilitary organizations which have capabilities that cover a large range of doctrines, forms of organization, equipment, instruction and ideological motivations. For these reasons, the structures must be capable of executing operations during times of peace, crisis, and war and in post-conflict periods, in a collaborative context, multinational, in between departments, on national and international grounds, depending of the situation. The international structured terrorism and also the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction are the most dangerous threats that could affect the security of the democratic nations of the world, and of human civilization on the whole. No country in the world could be considered safe taking into account these threats and no democratic state could ignore the responsibilities it has as a member of international community. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the need for adaptability to the challenges posed by the security environment which is continuously changing, and to create operational structures which ought to be trained andequipped so as to face this mode of action called terrorism, and to benefit from the necessary legislative framework, adapted to given conditions.

Authors: CHIȚAC Ciprian
Published: December 2022

The problem of terrorism has become during the last few years a hot topic for military and governmental institutions involved with managing the security of civil society and not only. The latest events have emphasized the necessity of knowing the modes of action of terrorist attacks. Each of these incidents had as an effect the change of laws and regulations and the implementation of new sets of measures for preventing and countering this phenomenon. At the same time, each incident has allowed states to evaluate again the necessity of establishing, equipping and training specialized structures for intervention in these cases. All of these events have determined the publication of studies which would lead to a better understanding of problems and to the establishment of efficient measures for combating and countering this reality we are facing nowadays. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of alert capabilities for terrorist risks. Hence, in the first paper of the paper we will analyze the notion of terrorism, we will call to attention structures with a role in countering terrorism and we will present one identified means of fighting against terrorist risks and the importance of mass media in accomplishing this fight. Also, we will underline the necessity of creating a specialized structure for fighting this phenomenon, as well as the necessity of the capabilities which are at ourdisposal and of the present legislation.

Authors: TOTIR Valentin-Costinel , SCIPANOV Lucian Valeriu
Published: December 2022

In this article we are placing an analysis of the current crisis that erupted at the Russian-Ukrainian border. The main purpose is to identify possible hidden causes that could influence evolution. For this purpose, we have developed a comparative analysis of the current situation, taking attention to the similarities with the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Next, using the hypothetical-deductive analysis, we will highlight what could be the major objectives of the big actors involved and what could be the big dilemmas they are facing in decision making. At the end of the paper, we will submit the conclusions by following the analyzes that we have proposed. The motivation for choosing this topic is to understand the future of the crisis and to focus on the crisis in the interests of the EU and NATO in general, and especially in Romania. The novelty of the research lies in comparing the evolution of the actual state of the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border, with the one of 1962, when the tensions between NATO and the former Warsaw Treaty Organization reached their peak, as well as from the analysis based on the fundamental differences between the democratic regimes and the totalitarian ones, focused on identifying the objectives of great importance that each of the parties wants to achieve.
REFUGEES FROM UKRAINE. IS THERE A CASE FOR STRATEGIC ENGINEERED DISPLACEMENT?
Authors: SARCINSCHI Alexandra
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework for analyzing the current refugee flow from Ukraine in a manner that goes beyond statistics or humanitarian law towards intentionality and strategic games. The author will use Kelly M. Greenhill’s model of strategic engineered migration to investigate the case of refugees from Ukraine in order to assess the potential intention of Russia to use large masses of displaced people, caused by the illegal and unprovoked war, to achieve some hidden goals apart from the stated ones. The paper is built, first of all, on analyzing the theoretical framework focused on the types of strategic engineered migration, the evolution of the refugee flow, the humanitarian crisis and the implications for transit and destination countries. Also, there will be comparisons with the Russian intervention in the Syrian civil war and the case of the crisis caused by Belarus on its borders with Latvia, Lithuania and Poland as illustrative for the use of refugees and migrants by a state actor in order to achieve specific political goals. In the last section, the author will investigate the opportunity to translate the case of war refugees into the model initially dedicated to the broader issue of migration, and, finally, will use it to the present case of refugees from Ukraine.
RECONSIDERING THE CONCEPT OF CHOKEPOINTS FOR THE 21st CENTURY
Authors: VLAICU Mihai
Published: December 2022

Chokepoints can be best described as areas where the ability to transport or deploy assets or goods can be severely denied or restricted, due to their limited spatial characteristics. As such, a potential party to an armed conflict can deploy a relatively small detachment of assets in order to interdict the aforementioned actions, with considerable results, especially during a conventional, large scale war, representing, from a certain perspective, a method of conventional asymmetric warfare against a numerically superior force. During history, chokepoints have been mainly considered to be areas of water or land, where the ability to maneuver of the deployed forces have been severely hindered, although, with the emergence of new warfighting domains, such as cyber and space, the definition of the chokepoint, as well as the perception of using them during warfare, can be expanded. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the different types of non-traditional chokepoints (space and information centered), their origins and vulnerabilities, as well as presenting a series of recommendations with the purpose of increasing their level of security. The methodology of research used in this paper is the historical analysis of the concept of chokepoint, the observation of technical measures that could create to the establishment of new types of chokepoints, as well as that of possible ways of mitigating these security threats
TRANSHUMANISM, EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND THE SECURITY ENVIRONMENT OF THE FUTURE
Authors: POPESCU Alba Iulia Catrinel
Published: December 2022

Half a century ago, the idea of biological perfection of the human race through genetic manipulation or the creation of human-machine hybrids was automatically labelled as a dangerous fable, reminiscent of the Nazi ideology of Super - Man. Today, after several decades of research into transhumanism, the question is no longer ‘if' the supermen will become a reality, but 'when' and 'how' hybrid humans will look like. It is therefore only a matter of time before the supremacy of man born of the random play of genes will be overthrown by “hybrid man”, “improved man”, “superman”. A “superman” in symbiosis with artificial intelligence. What might the world look like, then? Will it still be structured according to the same criteria of power? What could be the security impact of the emergence of cyborgs capable of processing information in billionths of a second? This article aims to bring research into transhumanism and emerging technologies to the fore and to examine the potential impact of their materialization on the international security environment.

Published: December 2022

IoT, big data analytics, and machine learning advancements have made the concept of a smart city a reality. The goal of a smart city, as we all know, is to give efficient answers to its residents using modern technology and data analytics collected by sensors. The idea of a smart city was something SF for many people in the 20th century, that was anyway pictured just in the popular media. Cities are becoming smarter not just in terms of how we can automate regular operations for individual people, buildings, and traffic systems, but also in terms of how we can monitor, comprehend, analyze, and design the city in real time to increase efficiency, equity, and quality of life for its population. A smart city goes beyond utilizing digital technology to improve resource efficiency and reduce pollution. It entails improved urban transportation networks, updated water and waste disposal facilities, and more energy-efficient lighting and heating systems. It also entails a more involved and responsive local government, safer public areas, and addressing the needs of older people. In this paper we will approach the actual smart city, what is it today; how they developed in recent years, the domains where is implemented (traffic management, healthcare, and public safety for example) and the future of smart cities in the whole world.

Authors: Xiang Jing
Published: December 2022

This paper explores the influence mechanism of green advertising appeal on consumers' purchase intention through two sets of experiments. Experiment 1 used a single factor (specific appeal vs. abstract appeal).The results of intergroup experiment show that specific appeal can make consumers have stronger purchase intention, and green perceived value mediates the influence of green advertising appeal on green purchase intention. Experiment 2 explored the internal mechanism of interaction effect between advertising appeal and product green attribute information. The results show that the product green attribute information plays a moderating role in the relationship between green advertising appeal and green perceived value. When the green attribute of the product is reflected in the core attribute, the concrete green advertising appeal has a stronger impact on the green perceived value than the abstract advertising appeal. When the green attribute of the product is reflected in the edge attribute, there is no significant difference between the concrete and abstract green advertising appeal on the green perceived value. The research conclusion provides a reference for enterprises to choose advertising strategy.
Strafvorderlijke gegevensverwerking

Published: December 2022

Een verkennende studie naar de relevante gezichtspunten bij de normering van het verwerken van persoonsgegevens voor strafvorderlijke doeleinden. De politie heeft vanwege de digitaliserende maatschappij steeds meer mogelijkheden om enorme hoeveelheden persoonsgegevens te verzamelen, verder te onderzoeken en met elkaar te combineren via geavanceerde technologieën. Illustratief zijn recente zaken waarin de politie toegang heeft gekregen tot miljoenen versleutelde berichten van verschillende servers, zoals Ennetcom, EncroChat en Sky Global. Het huidige juridische kader is echter nog onvoldoende aangepast aan deze nieuwe realiteit. De wetgever ziet zich mede daarom geconfronteerd met nieuwe vragen over de wijze waarop de (verdere) verwerking van gegevens in de opsporing wettelijk geregeld moet worden. In opdracht van het WODC worden in dit onderzoek de wettelijke waarborgen bij strafvorderlijke vergaring van gegevens bezien in samenhang met waarborgen die gelden voor de daaropvolgende (verdere) verwerking van die gegevens. Het Wetboek van Strafvordering besteedt namelijk vooral aandacht aan de vergaring van gegevens en in veel minder mate aan het verdere gebruik, terwijl daarmee een (nieuwe) inbreuk op de privacy van burgers kan worden gemaakt. In de Wet politiegegevens zijn wel enkele bepalingen gewijd aan de verwerking van gegevens, maar de verhouding tot het Wetboek van Strafvordering is niet helder. Dit onderzoek brengt in kaart welke eisen en waarborgen het Europees recht stelt aan de verwerking van gegevens voor strafvorderlijke doeleinden. Verder wordt inspiratie geput uit ervaringen met de Wet op de Inlichtingen en Veiligheidsdiensten 2017 waarin bevoegdheden tot vergaring en (verdere) verwerking in één wet zijn geregeld. Tot slot wordt verkend hoe in een aantal naburige landen (Duitsland, België en Noorwegen) de eisen die voortvloeien uit het Europese recht, zijn vertaald in de wettelijke regelingen en hoe deze regelingen zijn ingericht. Dit onderzoek biedt handvatten voor de wetgever om de wijze van normeren en de inrichting van een wettelijke regeling nader te doordenken om de privacy van burgers beter te beschermen.

Published: December 2022

Field studies were conducted on Sarpagandha (Rauvolfia serpentina) under Subabul hedge row intercropping system. 40-50 days old nursery raised seedlings of Rauvolfia serpentina were planted in three spacing 45 x 30 cm, 45 x 45 cm, 60 x 45 cm and four levels of fertilizer dose were given to plants viz. N0 P0 K0 Kg/ha, N20 P20 K15 kg/ha, N40 P40 K30 kg/ha, N60 P60 K45 kg/ha. Growth and yield parameters such as plant height (m), root length (m), fresh weight of root (kg/plant) & total root yield (on air-dried basis) (ton/ha) were measured at harvest time. Sarpagandha in a spacing of 60 x 45cm with the fertilizer application of Nitrogen 60 kg/ha, Phosphorus 60 kg/ha and Potassium 45 kg/ha registered maximum value for plant height (0.88 m), root length (0.56 m), fresh weight of root (0.32 kg/plant) & total root yield (on air-dried basis) (1.866 ton/ha) under Subabul trees.
Ride-hailing versus traditional taxi services

Lebanon is experiencing a structural transformation of its economy and labour market, but at the same time has been hit by a series of crises in recent years. In the face of rising unemployment, it is often argued that digital platforms can offer new employment and income-generating opportunities. The platform economy’s role in structural change is not yet clear, but digital labour platforms undoubtedly have significant growth potential. An important concern is whether digital platforms can provide not merely jobs but decent jobs that could help to dampen the effects of rampant unemployment in Lebanon. This paper provides insights into the working conditions of platform-based taxi drivers, examining, among other aspects, the question of flexibility and autonomy at work and algorithmic management practices. It engages critically with the trajectory and development of taxi platforms and shows how they depend heavily on venture capital funds, the “non-uberized” economy, the State and the non-market society in Lebanon. The paper also identifies areas in which regulations are required to harness the potential of digital platforms and other technological innovations to generate decent work opportunities.

With a novel methodology searching news events from world’s largest news agencies via the online GDELT project, this report documents protest of key workers against their working conditions during the COVID-19pandemic in 90 countries. The report offers the first global dataset of labour protests of key workers during the pandemic. It focusses on two sectors, healthcare and retail. The results show that, overall, despite large volumes of protest over acute COVID-related problems such as the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the main concern of protesting workers during the pandemic was their pay. Collective action accompanying demands for pay rises involved not only the withdrawal of labour, but also demonstrations and leverage tactics. Health and safety was the second most important concern, and protests linked to these demands did not cease when the pandemic became less deadly. Protest spiked during the initial March 2020 lockdowns, before continuing at a lower level throughout the pandemic. The report identifies important variation between countries and sectors, and highlights specific local contingencies, and strategic decisions taken by workers and their unions. To this end, the report also analyses in more detail five countries where protest was particularly important: France, India, Nigeria, the United States, and Argentina.The report offers a first step to understanding the variety of labour protests beyond more institutionalised forms of collective voice. It will be important to study further the relation between informal forms of protest action and institutionalised gains, during and beyond COVID-19.
“It Was Just the Talking That Was Important”: Racial Capitalism and Black Affect in Walter Rodney’s “The Groundings with My Brothers”
Authors: Rainov George
Published: December 2022

Aspects of Black racialization have been sorely neglected in affect scholarship. This essay proposes a reading of Walter Rodney’s classic Black liberation text “The Groundings with My Brothers” in light of its generally unnoticed affectivity. Rodney’s practice of ‘grounding’ invites a reading in terms of affective relations between bodies. The compassionate stance and breakdown of class and racial hierarchies implicit in grounding suggest a new relational mode of being disruptive to the functioning of racial capitalism, which is contingent on the erection of empathy barriers to prevent the free flow of affective energies between its subjects. The textual body of “Groundings,” too, comes under investigation, as I locate ‘impressions’ of its author’s various bodily encounters in the rhetorical fabric. While its impressibility runs against masculinized rules of feeling, Rodney’s text still taps into exclusionary patriarchy. In the last section, I show how subsequent response essays ‘ground’ with Rodney, bringing the practice of grounding into intersectional and transnational territory and closer to its promise of bodily relations built on solidarity.

Xây dựng mô hình số địa hình tại khu vực đô thị từ dữ liệu ảnh DJI PHANTOM 4 RTK
Authors: Trần Trọng Đức
Published: December 2022

Quá trình xử lý để thành lập Mô hình số bề mặt địa hình (DTM) từ dữ liệu ảnh chụp của máy bay không người lái Phantom 4 RTK được trình bày trong bài báo này. Vị trí của camera ghi lại trong nhiệm vụ bay được xử lý kết hợp với số liệu đo GNSS tại trạm tĩnh trong phương pháp đo động hậu xử lý để đạt được vị trí bay chụp có độ chính xác cao. Mô hình ảnh 3D được xây dựng từ các ảnh chụp 2D có độ phủ chung sử dụng phương pháp Tạo Cấu trúc từ Chuyển động (Sfm). Ba điểm khống chế ảnh được đo với độ chính xác cao được sử dụng để địa tham chiếu chính xác mô hình ảnh 3D. Sai số căn chỉnh tổng hợp của mô hình ảnh 3D đạt xấp xỉ 2.7 cm. Từ mô hình 3D, các điểm chi tiết bề mặt đất đã được xác định trên cơ sở kết hợp phương pháp Classify Points và phương pháp Classify Ground Points và được sử dụng để tạo mô hình DTM. Năm điểm địa vật tại các vị trí không bị che khuất được sử dụng để đánh giá độ chính xác vị trí có sai số vị trí tổng hợp về độ lớn đạt xấp xỉ 2.5 cm. Mười bốn điểm địa vật tại các vị trí bị che khuất được sử dụng chỉ để đánh giá sai số độ cao có sai số độ lệch chuẩn xấp xỉ 0.147 m. Kết quả cho thấy i) tại vị trí thông thoáng ảnh chụp từ Phantom 4 RTK có thể cho phép tạo ra bề mặt 3D với độ chính xác ở cấp độ centimet ii) còn tại vị trí bị che khuất, độ chính xác trong tạo DTM lệ thuộc vào phương pháp phân loại xác định các điểm thuộc bề mặt đất.

Rủi ro lũ lụt là quá trình tương tác trực tiếp giữa biến đổi khí hậu với xã hội. Trong bổi cảnh toàn cầu rủi ro lũ lụt ngày càng gia tăng, việc xây dựng mô hình đánh giá rủi ro có thể hỗ trợ hiệu quả các chiến lượt và chính sách quản lý rủi ro thiên tai là rất quan trọng. Điều này đặc biệt thích hợp trong trường hợp đối với Di sản thế giới, xét về giá trị kinh tế-xã hội của các di sản này đem lại. Mặc dù đã có một lượng lớn các tài liệu về chủ đề bảo tồn di sản thế giới và giảm thiểu tác động của thiên tai đối với các di sản này, nhưng khả năng ứng dụng của các nghiên cứu thường chỉ giới hạn ở các tài sản hoặc các địa điểm đơn lẻ. Nghiên cứu này đề xuất một mô hình nghiên cứu để thực hiện các đánh giá định lượng rủi ro ngập lụt và bán định lượng đối với các khu vực di sản bất động. Việc lựa chọn và tính toán chỉ số rủi ro có thể được sử dụng để cung cấp đánh giá sơ bộ về rủi ro ngập lụt đối với Di sản thế giới. Nghiên cứu này được minh họa thông qua một ứng dụng cho Thành phố Hôi An. Nghiên cứu điển hình này được sử dụng để thảo luận về các vấn đề khác nhau liên quan đến yêu cầu dữ liệu, tính sẵn có và độ tin cậy.
