Execution or Rehabilitation: A comparative analysis between the criminalization of drug use in the Philippines and Portugal

On the 1st of July,2016, The Phillippines, a small Asian nation with a population of close to 103 million people, had shaken the world by democratically electing an unconventional man as their leader for the next five years. Rodrigo Duterte, his fellow countrymen, affectionately known as 'Rody.' As a mayor, Duterte sparked various controversies regarding his comments on rape and extrajudicial murders. His victory in the assembly elections had provided him with powers enough to fulfil his extremist promises to his voters. Duterte’s “War on Drugs” had convinced his people that the only solution to the Philippines growing drug problem is through extrajudicial killings. This unjust and bloody response to drug abuse came into effect, further leading to a murder spree within the poverty-stricken slums of The Philippines. About 12,000 Kilometers away, a tiny European country changed the world by decriminalising all kinds of drugs. In July 2001, Portugal had analysed the growing concern of drug use in the country. About 50 per cent of HIV positive cases in the country were related to drugs and, the Portuguese legislature approved a drug policy that reduced drug use to an administrative offence. The state sponsored the accused with various forms of social rehabilitation required for such drug users to blend back into society as social assets. This paper provides a contrast between both these extreme systems that had enacted such drug responses to overcome the growing concern following drug dealing and drug use among various age groups. This paper will also discuss the statistics regarding drug usage in these countries before enacting such drug policies. This article will also conclude with an analysis on whether the criminalisation of drug use is a necessary strategy for reducing the rising cases of drug-related diseases and deaths.

Case Study

Rise in child labour during lockdown

The prevalence of child labour is one of the most important problems confronting the world at large, especially in developing countries such as India. In many cases, child labour is mainly necessitated by the economic compulsions of the parents. The main reason which gives rise to child labour is widespread unemployment and underemployment among the adult poor strata of the population, inter alia, due to the sharp growth of population. Large families with low income and often lack educational facilities, illiteracy, and ignorance of parents about the importance of education as well as about the impact of labour on the health of their children are some of the reasons which breed child labour. Over the years, however, global consciousness about the seriousness of the problem has been created. The constitution of India also committed to the protection and promotion of welfare considerations over the economic ones. Therefore, a series of committees and commissions have been appointed by the Government of India either specifically on the question of child labor, which gives us insights into the problem and to give suggestions to alleviate this problem. The policies of modern governments in relation to child labor and child development must be pragmatic and comprehensive.

Research Paper

Jurisdiction of Crimes in the high Seas

In may 2021, a US warship had seized a huge weapons cache of Russian and Chinese origins off of a dinghy in the Arabian sea, however after the weapons were seized and the sailors questioned, they were let go without any hassle , as this happened on international waters, now if the same crime had happened on land, it would have been a different scenario. Many a times with the lack of jurisdiction, crimes that are illegal on the land happen in the high seas, many vessels have their registration in Panama or Liberia to reduce taxes, ships follow the laws of the countries they are registered in in the high seas, how does it affect combatting crimes perpetrated when in the sea? the issue of jurisdiction in the high seas would be explored in this research paper as that would be a hindrance when the Panama flagged cruise ship carrying US passengers reaches the Bahamas. There are these traditional crimes that happen on land like thievery, murder, rape, what is the punishment and the extent of jurisdiction for it to happen on the high seas?, in traditional passenger vessels. More importantly there are certain crimes that are exclusive to the seas like piracy and smuggling. Piracy is towards the extent that it is synonymous with crimes in the high seas. This paper will explore the causes, issues, combat of piracy in detail. The main case as to piracy is who has the jurisdiction to combat piracy? The (UNCLOS) is the guiding legislation behind the laws of the sea. This paper shall discuss the jurisdiction of the crimes, the crimes that occur as well as legislations combatting it.

Artificial Reaching and Feeding Hand

Robotic arms are designed for helping disabled people. The main function of the robotic arm is feeding food and drinks for disabled people. Nowadays there are so many robotic arms available in our market. These arms are more expensive because they use high-level technologies like sensing brain signals of arms and perform the task according to this. These expensive products are not affordable by common people. We are introducing this light weight portable robotic arm for feeding disabled people in affordable price. The ultimate aim of this proposed methodology is to assist the persons with movement disorder who need the help of someone to feed themselves. The proposed methodology comprises of four servo motors, one arduino controller and one usb camera. By detecting the eye blinking of the user, the operation will be initiated. The required height will be obtained by detecting the lip area of the user with the help of usb camera fixed on the robotic arm. Arduino uno is programmed in such a way to co-ordinate the required movements of the arm. The desirable robotic arm position is accomplished by the rotation of servo motors. The assistive feeding device has a gripper which can hold a spoon or a cup according to the written program. The motors will rotate in both directions to take the meals and drinks and feed to the user.

Sentiment classification with the BERT procedure based on deep learning

The need for Sentiment classification is a critical step in determining how people feel about a product, service, or issue. To solve the sentiment categorization problem, many natural language processing models have been developed. The majority of them, however, have concentrated on binary sentiment categorization. In this study, we tackle the fine-grained sentiment categorization task using BERT, a powerful deep learning model. Experiments show that without complicated architecture, our model outperforms other popular models in this job. In the process, we also demonstrate the utility of transfer learning in natural language processing.

Solar Inverter with Wireless Home Automation System

Increasing energy demand,high oil prices and concerns about environmental impacts are driving the development of renewable energies such as wind,solar,sea,biomass and geothermal. Solar energy is one among the foremost developed renewable energy sources . In our project, we will create a solar inverter that converts solar energy into electrical energy. This energy is used to charge the battery and simultaneously power the home lightning system and the sockets that charge multiple appliances. Home lightning systems that consist of Arduino circuits that help enable wireless operation.
