Vietnam’s policing in harm reduction: Has one decade seen changes in drug control?
Authors: Luong Hai Thanh , Le Toan Quang , Lam Dung Tien , Ngo Bac Gia
Published: January 2020

Alongside raising awareness and creating activities to develop a harm-reduction approach in the HIV/AIDS campaign since the end of the 2000s, broader harm-reduction interventions in Vietnam were also deployed that included several positive steps. Police forces, a fundamental sector in reducing the supply of illicit drugs, were also involved, partly to concretize this approach. As the first paper to examine the role of police in harm-reduction interventions in Vietnam, the current study utilizes qualitative approaches relying on in-depth interviews conducted with multiple key informants from government and its related bodies, United Nations personnel, and non-government organizations (NGOs), as well as police officers. We uncover noticeable progress in changing minds and approaches to apply harm reduction in drug policy, particularly within policing. However, major barriers in regulations, slow acceptance by police forces, and a lack of curriculum and courses in police training have limited harm-reduction approaches. As the first study to review and assess the policy of harm reduction after one decade, the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the nature of Vietnam’s police provisions to balance and improve harm reduction in drug control.
Withholding homicide victim names: Looking for a win-win solution for families and the police
Authors: Ruddell Rick , Burnett Jody
Published: January 2020

Although withholding the names of homicide victims from the public is a relatively new police practice, it has proven to be controversial, with the media, legal scholars, and victim advocacy groups often opposing these policies. In order to better understand the issue of withholding names, we examined the prevalence of these practices in Canada’s largest municipal police services. These results were further explored in a series of semi-structured interviews with stakeholders from 20 victim services and advocacy organizations. Analysis of the interview and survey results reveal that the key priority of the police is maintaining the integrity of their investigations, and all other issues are secondary. Although the issue of withholding information has become contentious, many of the arguments become moot, as the friends and family members of these victims often post the information related to these deaths on social media, effectively bypassing both the press and the police. Implications for policy development are discussed in light of these findings.
Police and health operational staff perspectives on managing detainees held under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act: A qualitative study in London
Authors: Sondhi Arun , Williams Emma
Published: January 2020

Detention under section 136(1) of the Mental Health Act 1983 allows for the police to detain a person from a public place and “remove [them] to a place of safety” if it is “in the interests of that person or for the protection of other persons in immediate need of care or control.” This study examines the interface between police and health professionals covering the conveyance and transfer of detainees to a place of safety and on completion of the assessment prior to inpatient admission. One hundred ninety-six professionals were interviewed across police (n=38), London Ambulance Service (n=2), Mental Health or Emergency Department staff (n=63), and Approved Mental Health Professionals (AMHPs)/Section 12 doctors (n=93). The data was analyzed thematically using a Framework analysis. The conveyance and transfer of detainees was framed by various elements of detainee risk. Healthcare professionals cited clinical risk, risk associated with substance misuse, professional safety, culture of risk aversion, staffing issues, and fear of certain detainee groups as the main issues. For police, risk was discussed within the context of institutional or professional fear of negligence due to an adverse incident. It is argued that the negative framing of risk at this point of the detention process by all professionals creates a negative therapeutic environment for detainees. Whilst safety is an essential part of the detention process, these distinctions problematize the process for a detainee. The article argues for a more balanced framing of risk to establish a more therapeutic interaction between detainees and police and healthcare providers.

The target of the registration process is to get the disagreement between two captured images for the same area to candidate the transformation matrix that is used to map the points in one image to its congruent in the other image for the same area. A dynamic method is demonstrated in this paper to improve registration process of SAR images. At first, smoothing filtering is used for noise reduction based on gaussian-kernel filter to set aside the pursue-up amplification of noise. Then; area based matching method, cross correlation, is used to perform a coarse registration. The output of the coarse registration is directly applied to the regular step gradient descent (RSGD) optimizer as a fine registration process. The performance of the demonstrated method was evaluated via comparison with the common used corner detectors (Harris, Minimum Eigenvalues, and FAST). Mean square error (MSE) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) are the main factors for the comparison. The results show that the demonstrated approach preserves the robustness of the registration process and minimizes the image noise.

Inventory problem are generally classified under decision making problem where lead time plays an important role in performance and services to customers during supply and placement of order of an item orders can be placed in shorter lead time with higher price or in longer lead time with lower cost. In this paper we have formulated multi-objective inventory model with one objective of minimizing the total inventory cost and other objective of maintaining the quality of the product by discarding the defective items. The model involved the deterministic demand, lead time dependent lead time cost, holding cost, ordering cost and inspection cost for inspecting defective items. The techniques of priority goal programming and genetic algorithm are applied and the results are compared. The sensitivity analysis is explained due to restriction in cost parameter. The model is finally illustrated with a numerical example.

Biomass fuel as carbon neutral, abundant, domestic, cost effective is being reconsidered to fuel-up the power plant to produce electricity in clean way. But utilization of biomass fuel directly in existing conventional power plant causes problem in turbine such as erosion, hot corrosion, clogging and depositions [1]. As such combustion of biomass fuel outside the primary cycle eradicates potential hazards for turbine. In such a case indirectly fired micro gas turbine opens a door to biomass fuel as this technology is free from negative aspects of direct combustion as well as making micro gas turbine feasible to generate electricity in small scale at non-grid areas for individual consumer or group of consumers. In this research, the effect of different types of biomass fuel on operating parameters as well as on output electrical power of externally fired micro gas turbine (EFmGT)has been analyzed. The biomass fuels are categorized on the basis of air to fuel ratio (AFR) using stoichiometry combustion theory. It is found from results that parameters like air mass flow rate, compression ratio, heat exchanger effectiveness, turbine inlet temperature, combustion temperature, and temperature difference in heat exchanger affect the performance of EFmGT. Also types of biomass fuel have substantial impacts on these performance parameters as well as on electrical power output of EFmGT cycle.

Data Mining have always been a field and combination of both computer science and statistical knowledge. From the beginning it is used to ascertain designs, patterns and arrangements which are formed in the information pool. The motive of the data mining development is to produce useful information from the pool of raw data and convert it into useful information which can be used for future arrangements. The tools which are used in data mining are helpful in predicting the future trends and predictions across the market, which also help in decision making and building the knowledge to make decisions. The “Healthcare Industry” is generally information rich. It has been collecting data to improve the continuing problems and help to identify the solutions for that problems. Data mining techniques can be used to predict heart conditions from the voluminous and complex data which are kept by the hospitals for decision making which are difficult to analyze by outmoded methods. Unfortunately, outmoded methods are less accurate in discovering hidden information from effective decision making. Data mining helps in altering the huge amount of data into knowledge driven which takes, as compared to others, less time and effort for the prediction and with greater accuracy. Our effort is to apply different data mining techniques that are used to solve the problem of biased forecasts and decision making and help in calculating the results with more accuracy.

The desire for security has continued to receive research attention globally. One of the critical aspects has been on how best to secure lives and property in residential neighbourhood in urban areas in the Global south. Although several approaches have been identified on how best to secure the home environment, less research attention has been given to the how maintenance practices can enhance security of lives and property in mass housing environments. This study investigated the influence of building maintenance practices on security of lives and property, using the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) housing estates as case study. Household survey involving 1036 residents in 14 housing estates was conducted in the study area using questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and categorical regression analysis. The result shows that spaces and components of the buildings under the control of individuals and/or households were more frequently maintained than those jointly used spaces. The pruning of flowers and trees, replacement of damaged doors in the buildings and sweeping of open spaces emerged as the top three maintenance practices with the most significant influence on the residents’ perception of security of lives and property in the estates. The study implies that maintenance activities should be focused on these three aspects with more attention given to jointly owned and used spaces and facilities if security of lives and property is to be achieved in mass housing environments.

The need for surveillance and security in Indonesian water region which can monitor activities of distance object such as illegal fishing, foreign vessels violation, piracy of vessels and smuggling can be done by using radio wave. Maritime radar over the horizon (OTH) surface wave is able to detect the existence of foreign vessels in Indonesian waters. Based on this, the study aimed to design a low cost antenna namely Yagi - Uda linear array antenna at 15 MHz frequency at frequency range 6 – 24 MHz for the application of over the horizon radar. Yagi - Uda antenna is superior in the spread of wave suitable to OTH Radar characteristic over the sea surface and big gain. Yagi - Uda antenna develops rapidly in communication system makes it applied in many modern communication devices nowadays. This antenna was designed and simulated using Simulator Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) version 13. The simulation result of the antenna design after doing optimization was return loss (S11) = -29,62 dB, VSWR = 1.068 and gain = 2,413 dBm.

Three sets of batch experiments with different concentration of feed were conducted to observe the biodegradability of benzene gas by yeast strain Candida tropicalis. During the first phase of this study, C. tropicalis was grown in a nutrient solution containing only toluene and benzene as its sole carbon source in an acclimation experiment. There was a delay in the rate of the microbial growth following the nutrient changes, however, the optical density of C. tropicalis reached over 1.200 OD600nm within 9 days of incubation. There was also a positive result of protein and sugar test that proved there were microbial activities happening during the incubation of C. tropicalis with benzene gas as its sole carbon source. The acclimated culture was further studied in a batch experiment of biodegradation. It was found that C. tropicalis managed to remove over 90% of benzene fed within 100 hours of incubation during the batch study.

This study is based on identifying the applicability and benefits of competency mapping in Small Medium-sized Enterprises with context to Delhi-NCR region. The reason of choosing the manufacturing sector of Small Medium-sized Enterprises is that they don’t like to opt for such types of modern HR practices at their workplace due to many myths like increase of cost to the company, no direct benefit in adopting this practice, wastage of time etc. Ability advancement by Competency mapping is one of the most precise methods used by large-scale size companies. The small firms can also achieve the same result if this HR practice is properly implemented over their employees and their result should be further used for their development. Sometimes companies used the Competency mapping method for the performance appraisal of their employees, handling their conflicts but this is not just the limitation it can be used in other area also like for preparing the customized training schedule for individual employee. The author selected the certain competency factors, which are having the impact over the productivity, and on the basis of these factors a primary data collection method is used. This is an exploratory research design in which both primary and secondary data collection method is used. ANOVA test, Correlation and Chi-square tests is used for analyzing the data, conducted through SPSS version 22. The result of this study is applicable only for Delhi NCR region. The analysis-based recommendation is useful only for the SME’s manufacturing sector. Further research on this topic can be easily done because this research is based on limited sample size, budget and time constraints. The result of this study helps the Small Medium-sized Enterprises by disclosing for them various ways for full utilization of their available resources at workplace, performance evaluation of employees with ease and as per the pre established criterion, setting up of competency framework etc.

Copy and move forgery technique is a versatile technique used by criminals to change the evidences unlawfully. This is done by removing or adding the segments of an audio recording from another audio using simple software tools . Now-a-days in courts and forensics lab we use digital audio or speech as proof of evidence. With the advancement in digital software and technology it is made possible to modify the original audio data and tamper with it. In this paper we are using a robust method of copy and move detection using MFCC and Dynamic time warping which is robust against several kinds of regularly used post-processing actions and background noise, which highlights its promising potential of the suggested method as an audio tampering detection tool in various practical forensics applications with help of DTW. The proposed method is giving good outcome in differentiating the original sequences and forged sequences. This is done and implemented in mat lab.

Power Line Communication (PLC) is a technology which transforms the power line into pathways for the conveyance of broadband data. It has the advantage for it can avoid new installation since the current installation used for electrical power can also be used for data transmission. However, this power line channel presents a harsh environment for data transmission owing to the challenges of impulsive noise, high attenuation, selective fading and etc. In this paper to provide special structure to signal in frequency domain we have applied interleaving of signal in time domain. Based on the special structure, IN support is determined by using compound signal classification (CSC) and its amplitude is estimated by Least Squares (LS) method in frequency domain, exploiting the noise information on null subcarriers in Discrete Multitone Transform (DMT) system.
