Addressing the Problems of Jurisdictional Conflicts in Criminal Matters within the EU

The current EU approach to jurisdictional conflicts is discussed in the first part of this article. The article highlights the persistent problems of the existing legal framework as well as those emanating from Eurojust’s approach to the matter. After linking the topic with the ne bis in idem principle, the Member States’ interests in prosecuting criminal offenses under their competence, and the EU’s objective in the AFSJ when fighting impunity, the author presents some pivotal reflections on a better solution in the second part. Any solution first and foremost has to respect the EU’s main characteristic as a supranational organisation aligned to its constitutional treaties and to its Charter of Fundamental Rights. Within this framework, the article: Opts for models that not only solve but also prevent conflicts of jurisdiction; Highlights the possibility of distinguishing between more flexible and less flexible models; Illustrates a model based on the territoriality principle (locus delicti criterion) for both the assignment of jurisdiction and conflict resolution; Advocates a model with definitive and binding jurisdictional rules on: forum selection, proceedings and rights of concerned persons, arguing that it is of secondary importance whether such a model would be construed horizontally (i.e., through interaction between competent state authorities) or vertically (i.e., by giving a substantial role to Eurojust and the ECJ). The article also discusses other critical issues that are affected by the EU’s choice to safeguard the ne bis in idem principle within the framework of preventing and solving jurisdictional conflicts, e.g., the exclusion of parallel investigations, the rights of suspects and victims to intervene in the proceedings judicial review of the relevant decisions, etc. Lastly, it addresses the legal basis of the EU’s competence to regulate jurisdictional conflicts and the proper legal instruments to be used according to the characteristics of the model chosen.

Design and Monitoring of 1kva Distribution Transformer

Transformers are vital part of transmission and distribution system. Generally, the lifetime of the transformer varies from 40 to 50 years. Regular monitoring and maintenance must be done to increase its lifetime. The existing monitoring system can acquire, process, analyse and communicate the critical parameters viz. voltage, current, frequency, temperature, oil level, etc. and sends the values to a central hub and indicates the fault to the concerned person. These parameters are required by the operators to ensure reliable power delivery and to assist the day-to-day decision-making activities. A single phase, 1 KVA, 50 Hz, 230/115 V, oil-immersed distribution transformer is designed, and the above-mentioned parameters are monitored and displayed in mobile phones/personal computers. The values from the monitoring system is displayed in website or mobile application using cloud services. With the data available, various processes can be performed to obtain information. The proposed system can be installed in any available transformers with little modification in sensors. When a severe fault occurs secondary circuit-breaker is tripped thereby isolating the transformer and an official is alerted using a text message.

Forced Migration in Southeast Asia – A Brief Overview of Current Research

Southeast Asian countries host significant numbers of forcibly displaced populations, both within countries and across borders. This brief review paper provides a basic overview on recent forced migration research in Southeast Asia for the period 2013 to 2018. To this end, a keyword search with two predefined sets of search terms was carried out in the Web of Science database in September 2018. The identified research literature corpus was then analyzed regarding persons of concern, study site(s) (country/ies) as well as main drivers of migration. The results show that the major part of studies focuses on refugees and asylum seekers in the region’s main host countries, namely Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This correspondence between current research trends and the distribution of refugees and asylum seekers in Southeast Asia could, however, not be identified for internally displaced persons (IDPs). Although Southeast Asian countries account for a substantial share of worldwide IDPs, only a very limited number of identified studies focus on this group of persons of concern.

Patient Readmission Prediction Due to Diabetes using Machine Learning Classification

Diabetes mellitus is a general illness of body caused due to a group of metabolic disorders and conditions where the sugar level readings over a prolonged period are very high. It affects different organs of the human body which thus harm a large number of the body's system and tissues to micro level, particularly blood veins, nerves and also skin. It usually occurs when body has malfunctioned pancreas or there is insulin resistance. As there have been huge advancements in machine learning field which is widely used in solving different real life community level problems including health care and also due to presence of vast data from different medical care centres and hospitals which can play an important role in building a machine learning model which can predict weather a person is suffering from diabetes by using data sets from different hospitals and medical care centres. We have collected data from different hospitals over past 10 years where we consider different factors that determine whether admission of a person into hospital is required or not. Depending upon the previous medical history of the person, it can be determined that weather or not the person is readmitted into the hospital and within what time period. Hence in this paper we try to construct a model where we predict weather a person is readmitted to hospital or not .Main focus is to help health care professionals, medicine practitioners and people who suffer from its symptoms improve their treatment process by predicting the chance of the person having diabetes, here by decreasing cost of treatment and enabling the concerned person to be self-aware of their medical condition.

Prediction of Zika Virus by Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN) using Cloud

Zika virus a mosquito borne flavivirus disease, which is spreading hastily across all over the world. Nearly 95 countries are infected with Zika, Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes is the source of spreading the virus. Microcephaly, myelitis, Guillain – Barre Syndrome and neuropathy are the causes of ZVD. Miscarriages and preterm birth also possible also occur during the time of infection. To overcome an early prediction system is used for detecting the virus using symptoms. The zika dataset is stored in cloud and in our proposed work a Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network classifier used for predicting the Zika virus. The classifier produces accuracy level of 97% the highest accuracy level. Based on the symptoms ZVD is predicted at earlier stage, if they found as infected RNA test will be taken for the concerned person.

Anti-Theft System for Monitoring Wheels of a Vehicle

Nowadays, automobiles (vehicles such as two-wheelers, four-wheelers) are increasing due to increment in the human population. Along with the increase in vehicle’s population, thefts and vandalization of vehicles and/or vehicle components such as tyres, engine, doors etc. are also increasing dynamically and exponentially. This problem of thefts is needed to be solved by detecting the theft and sending an alert to a concerned person. Such type of system has proposed in this paper. The proposed system includes: a navigation unit coupled to wheel of vehicle; a communication unit; a circuit breaker unit having a button coupled to wheel and wheel hub of vehicle such that when wheel is fitted tightly to wheel hub then button is in the first position to allow flow of current through circuit breaker unit and when wheel is loosened then button is in the second position such that flow of current is stopped and the first signal is generated, and a control unit to configure and navigate the signal. The proposed system also sends an alert to a concerned person in an effective manner.

A Smart Dustbin using Mobile Application

As there is a rapid increase in the present population waste management has become the serious problem in the current world. So in this paper we are proposed a new system of waste management using an android mobile app with Bluetooth enabled smart dustbin. This android application controlled bot through the lines drawn on the floor. Usually the lines are predefined throughout the path. The predefined paths may a white line on a black surface or vice -versa. The smart dustbin detects a person using IR sensor, if person is detected automatically it will open the cap of the dustbin and if he moves away from the dustbin it will automatically close the cap of the dustbin using stepper motor. It can also be able to detect amount of garbage and odour present in the dustbin using sensors. If any one of these things reached the threshold, it will automatically send a message to the concerned person through GSM module.

The Development of Catholic Schools in the Republic of Sudan

Sudan is today a country self-defined as Islamic (97% of the population) and Arab. In this context the schools of the Catholic Church have played and play a relevant role in the instruction of the elites of the country and in the provision of education to the displaced and refugee communities (3.58 million persons of concern of UNHCR in 2016). This article studies the development of these schools and their change of role along the following historical periods: the part of the Turco-Egyptian rule that corresponds with the foundation of the first Catholic Schools and the work of the great promotor of education in Sudan, Daniel Comboni (1843-1881); the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium which meant their expansion (1898-1956); and the Independent Sudan where they mainly focused on the service to displaced and refugees (1956-2017). The article describes this evolution and the current situation based upon the revision of published bibliography and unpublished materials from the archives of the Education Office of the Archdiocese of Khartoum and of the Comboni Missionaries in Sudan, especially for the most recent periods.

Counseling Center Clinicians Experience Providing Assessments of Risk to Self versus Risk to Others

ABSTRACTAs part of collecting information for the purpose of threat assessment and management regarding a person of concern within an institution of higher education, a threat assessment and management team or another institutional official may request that a campus counseling center conduct a risk assessment of dangerousness-to-others. This study measured counseling center clinicians’ training and experience in conducting risk assessments of dangerousness-to-others. Survey data from mental health providers practicing in counseling centers within institutions of higher education revealed that these practitioners had significantly less training and experience in assessing dangerousness-to-others as compared to the training and experience they have in assessing dangerousness-to-self. This lack of training and experience brings into question the appropriateness of counseling center mental health providers conducting these assessments.

Права людини в контексті юридичного позитивізму.

This article analyzes the main ideas of the legal positivism in terms of its interaction with the human rights and freedoms. The objective of the article is to determine the meaning and content of the human rights in the context of the positivist doctrine of law as well as to substantiate the ways how to combat positivist treatment of human rights at the level of the national legal ideology. It is noted that the human rights were not considered in the early positivist doctrines. At the same time, the later positivist doctrines were analyzed, which substantiate subjecting the individual rights to the needs of the society and denying the existence of the inalienable rights. The main postulates of different categories of the legal positivism (national, social, anthropological) are summarized in the context of their treatment of human rights and freedoms. It is noted in the article that a crucial role of the state is recognized by all schools of the legal positivism because individual and social rights are incorporated only to the extent that they are recognized by the state. In that sense, promotion of social and individual interests, of human rights and freedoms is purely formal. In the context of the legal positivism, the idea of inalienable human rights and freedoms makes no sense because it uses the notion of the ‘subjective right’, which derives from the objective law established by the state. This leads, in fact, to the denial of the highest social value of a human being, rights and freedoms of which are not prioritized. This article determines the characteristics of the legal positivism reflected in practice which include unambiguous incorporation of the human rights into the law as well as of its extent and the order of its implementation; prevention of the abuse of rights and of the loose interpretation of rules of law by concerned persons; designation of the boundaries of lawful behavior and of legal remedies which is a formal prerequisite for the person’s certainty and safety; the recognition of certain actions as criminal being stable which protects the society from the unsubstantiated and meritless accusations; restriction by the law of public officials’ discretion by setting forth the framework of their competence. It was proved that ignoring of the contents of positive rights neglects all these positive features of the legal positivism. This creates ideological preconditions for various types of the abuse of rights. The article underlines the role of legal education as an important factor which affects critical treatment of the state and law. This allows to prevent the unlimited role of the state at the level of the legal ideology and, consequently, to preclude any violations of the human rights by the state.

Warehouse Selection Problem Solution by Using Proper MCDM Process

The most efficient warehousing selection has become one of the significant logistics activities. The main objective of this paper is to select the efficient warehouse by using proper MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Making) process against some specified criteria. This paper exhumes to explore the possibility of using several multi criteria decision making processes in warehouse location problem. This survey work introduces MCDM process in many domains to pick the best alternative from where different scope, weight for many criteria are explored. Among various methods, it is found that, by the means of the AHP and TOPSIS method, the evaluation criteria with references to the concerned goal and characteristics with respect to analogous criteria. A case study has been performed by selected MCDM (AHP, TOPSIS) process for analysing collected data. Before going for the calculation this research has done a survey by asking some question to concerned person regarding warehouse selection. From case study, among five warehouses it is found that the first warehouse is suitable which accomplishes all criteria. A validation test for AHP has been performed to verify the result obtained which also supports the result. Finally, this research paper will help to select efficient warehouse and will improve the logistics system.

The Impression Management Strategy of the Candidates of Governor-Vice Governor of DKI Jakarta on Social Media

The use of social media is not only important but also strategic means of political communication in the Regional Leader Election (Pilkada) of DKI Jakarta and is interesting to be examined, particularly from the view of Erving Goffman’s Self Presentation—Impression Management Theory. This research aims at illustrating the impression management strategy of the Governor-Vice Governor candidates for DKI Jakarta, namely Ahok-Djarot and Anies-Sandi, through social media. We apply qualitative analyses to the Instagram feeds and Twitter timelines of the two duos from October 2016 to April 2017. The result shows that the candidates attempt to present themselves by projecting the images they want. Ahok-Djarot applies three strategies: 1) credibility strategy, presenting competency, achievements, performance during their time in the office of DKI Jakarta as well as their characters—enthusiastic, firm, and focus to positive matters; (2) politeness strategy, by illustrating themselves as two concerned, friendly, and humorist persons; (3) influencing strategy, to spread influence; (4) self-deprecating strategy to draw sympathy from the citizens about the problems faced by Ahok. On the other hand, Anies-Sandi utilize these three strategies: 1) affinity seeking and politeness strategy to make them acknowledged and liked by the netizens; 2) image confirming strategy to make the netizens have the image of who Anies-Sandi are; and (3) credibility strategy by showcasing their achievements prior to being the Governor-Vice Governor of DKI Jakarta candidates.

The Application of Characteristic Point about Moving Object Detection and Tracking Method Based on OpenCV

Moving target detection is one of the research hotpots of intelligent technology, is widely used in the field of video processing, through the detection of moving object in video sequences, we can find a convenient person or thing of human concern, positioning and tracking target.

Executive Functions and Social Cognition in Juveniles Who Have Sexually Offended.

Although neuropsychological assessments provide valuable information for those working in forensic mental health, few neuropsychological studies concern persons who sexually offend, particularly juveniles who have sexually offended (JSO). It has been suggested that, contrary to current theories, executive function in JSO, as a group, is no more impaired than it is in juvenile delinquents in general. However, JSO with child victims seem to be more impulsive than JSO whose victims are peers or adults. To verify this potentially important (and unexpected) finding, a sample of adolescent males (N = 134; 15.6 ± 1.5 years old) that included JSO, general delinquents, and underprivileged nondelinquents was assessed using a battery of behavioral and psychological tests that focus on impulsivity. No difference was found between groups regarding higher order executive functions as measured with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task but JSO with child victims were found to be the most impulsive subgroup as evidenced with the Iowa Gambling Task, the Stop-Signal Reaction Task, and the Impulsive scale of the Social Problem Solving Inventory. They also had the highest number of prescriptions for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication. These results, which contradict hypotheses derived from assessment of adult sex offenders, illustrate an important difference between the cognitive profiles of adult and juvenile males who sexually offended. They also confirm that JSO whose victims are children appear to be more impulsive.

Access to palliative care for homeless people: complex lives, complex care

BackgroundPeople experiencing homelessness often encounter progressive incurable somatic diseases in combination with psychiatric and psychosocial problems, and many need palliative care at the end of their lives. Little is known about how palliative care for this group can be started in good time and provided optimally. The objective of this paper is to give insight into the extent people experiencing homelessness have access to good palliative care.MethodsQualitative in-depth interviews were held to reconstruct the cases of 19 people experiencing homelessness in the Netherlands. Eight cases concerned persons being in the palliative phase (using the surprise question) and the other 11 cases concerned persons recently died after a period of ill health due to somatic illness. We used purposive sampling until data saturation was reached. The total number of interviews was 52. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed inductively.ResultsThree key themes were: ‘late access’, ‘capricious trajectory’ and ‘complex care’. The first key theme refers to the often delayed start of palliative care, because of the difficulties in recognizing the need for palliative care, the ambivalence of people experiencing homelessness about accepting palliative care, and the lack of facilities with specific expertise in palliative care for them. The second key theme refers to the illness trajectory, which is often capricious because of the challenging behaviour of people experiencing homelessness, an unpredictable disease process and a system not being able to accommodate or meet their needs. The third key theme refers to the complexity of their care with regard to pain and symptom control, psychosocial and spiritual aspects, and the social network.ConclusionsThe care for in the palliative phase does not satisfy the core requirements of palliative care since there are bottlenecks regarding timely identification, the social network, and the assessment and management of physical symptoms and psychosocial and spiritual care needs. Education in palliative care of outreach professionals, training staff in shelters in the provision of palliative care, and building a network of palliative care specialists for people experiencing homelessness.

REAL TIME INFORMATION DISSEMINATION USING GPS ON VEHICLE ACCIDENT DETECTION

In Today’s generation the use of vehicles by the population has become redundant with which the accidents happening has increased to a greater extent. This project is done for detecting the accidents happening and providing the location of the accident to the mobile number which is previously coded. This helps for a fast service from the concerned person. The GPS and GSM models are used to give the exact latitude and longitude values by notifying the concerned person through the Blynk application and by sending SMS. The Vibration, Gas and Tilt Sensors when reach a maximum threshold value the information is transferred to the Arduino Uno Atmega 328 controller(notifying accident detected). This in turn help in sending the information to the concerned person through through the Blynk application and through SMS. This system can help companies to track the vehicles which is usually the rental vehicles by sending message to the concerned numbers.
