Principles of International Law on Transboundary Pollution,FadzliRohami1
The principle that a State has responsibility for any environmental damage it creates even beyond its territorial limits.' Specifically, the tribunal found that based on principles of international law: no State has the right to use or permit the use of its territory in such a manner as to cause injury by fumes in or to the territory of another or the properties or person therein, when the case is of serious consequence and the injury is established by clear and convincing evidence

The relationship between competition and broadband performance is complex. Previously, authors have suggested that
medium regulation of entry would be the most important tool to promote investment and innovation (Aghion et alii 2005;
Katz 2007 and 2008); however, previous empirical data has shown that medium entry regulations do not lead countries to the
same broadband performance across all nations. This paper examines the interactions between regulatory variables with
social, demographic and educational factors. The main goal is to look into the different ways countries can achieve similar
broadband performance and uses Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to examine 27 European countries from 1997 to
2008.

The need for protection and conservation of environment and sustainable use of natural resources is reflected in the constitutional framework of India and also in the international commitments of India. The Constitution under Part IVA (Art 51A-Fundamental Duties) casts a duty on every citizen of India to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife, and to have compassion for living creatures. Further, the Constitution of India under Part IV (Art 48A-Directive Principles of State Policies) stipulates that the State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country.
By Bernard Galea
The purpose behind this report is to analyse the major provisions of the main legislation concerning waste in India. It is an examination of the provisions that would be relevant to companies and enterprises engaged in activities and industries which are capable of producing waste.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Environmental legislation
1. ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION R.B.Chavan Department of Textile Technology Indian Institute of Technology Hauz-Khas, New Delhi 110016
2. Introduction India is the first country that has integrated the protection and improvement of the environment in its constitution. There are no specific environmental laws for textile industry sector alone. industry specific standards, which the textile industry is required to comply with while setting up or operating an industrial unit. The regulatory authorities are Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) at central level State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) at state level. Enforcement is done by SPCBs .
4. Tolerance limits for industrial effluents Absent Absent Absent Absent Pesticides mg/l 5 - - 2 Sulphides mg/l 15 - 15 5 Zinc mg/l 3 - 3 3 Copper mg/l 1.0 - 2 0.1 Hexavalent chromium mg/l 250 - - 250 COD 100 100 350 30 BOD (5 days ) 20 10 20 10 Oil and grease mg/l 45 - 45 40 Temperature 0C Max. 5.5-9 5.5-9 5.5-9 5.5-9 pH - 2100 2100 2100 Dissolved solids (TDS, mg/l m - 200 600 100 Suspended solids (mg/l ) Colourless Colourless Colourless Colourless Colour and odour Into marine Coastal areas On land for irrigation Into public sewer Into inland surface water Characteristics
5. Air Pollution legislation The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as amended by Amendment Act, 1987 The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Rules, 1982 This law defined an air pollutant as any solid, liquid or gaseous substance present in the atmosphere in such concentration as may be or tend to be injurious to human beings or other living creatures or plants or property or environment. This Act requires approval prior to operating any industrial plant. Government may suggest “control equipment” prior to giving its consent to any industry for its operation. It may include chimney etc. In case there is any new technology for emission control, then the Board may insist on this to being installed. Standards specific to industries have been specified.
6. Penalty Penalties are minimum of six months imprisonment to a maximum of seven years and fine up to Rs. 5,000 (€ 250) for every day during which contravention continues after conviction for the first such contravention. This law makes it clear that when offences are committed by a company, its director, manager, secretary or other officers could be held guilty and punished accordingly. As the industries are running on age-old processes, outdated technology, fuel, coal as their source of energy where there are no proper installations for measurement and treatment of emissions like SO2, oxides of nitrogen, suspended particulate, etc it becomes harder and impossible to fulfill the norms of the legislative standards.
7. Noise Pollution The legislation under this includes the newly established: Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 Increasing noise levels in public places from various sources, industrial activity, construction activity, generator sets, other mechanical devices have deleterious effects on human health and the psychological well being of the people, The GoI has considered necessary to regulate and control noise producing and generating sources with the objective of maintaining the ambient air quality standards in respect of noise.
8. The state government may categorize the areas into industrial, commercial, residential or silence areas/zones for the purpose of implementation of noise standards for different areas. The state government shall take measures to control noise including noise emanating from vehicular movements and ensure that the specified noise levels do not exceed Noise Pollution
9. A person may, if the noise level exceeds the ambient noise standards by 10 dB(A)* or more given in standards against any area/zone, can make a complaint to the authority. The authority shall act on the complaint and take action against the violator in accordance with the provisions of these rules and any other law in force.
10. Norms for noise pollution Silence zone is defined as an area comprising not less than 100 metres around hospitals, educational institutions and courts. The silence zones are declared as such by the competent authority.
11. Ozone Depletion The legislation refers to the: Ozone Depletion Substances (Regulation) Rules, 2000 Ozone (O3) is a form of oxygen in the atmosphere about 20 kms. above the earth’s surface that efficiently screens out almost all the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. This radiation has the potential to cause skin cancer, eye damage; suppress body s immune system; decrease crop yield; cause damage to forests and affect ocean life.
12. In accordance with the National Strategy for Ozone depletion substances (ODS) phase out the GoI - MoEF, have framed comprehensive draft rules, covering various aspects of production, sale, consumption, e Export and import of ODS. Some of the important provisions of the proposed draft ODS rules, are as follows:
13. important provisions of the proposed draft ODS rules Compulsory to register with MoEF Restriction on production levels as per "base level" Ban on creating new capacity or expansion of capacity Export restricted to countries who are signatory to Montreal Protocol Quantity produced in excess of maximum allowable consumption for the respective years, if any, to be for export purposes only.
14. Depletion of ozone layer is still a cause for concern ODS continue to be used in developing countries in refrigeration and air-conditioning, preparation of foam and spray products, fire extinguishing, and as solvents in electronics and other industries. In the textile industry chlorinated solvents like dichloromethane tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and methylene chloride are often used in fabric scouring, dye carrier, cleaning purposes etc. with the regulations the industries are left to abate the impact of all these substances and seek for possible substitutions and alternatives
15.
16. penalty for contravention of the act may be punishable by imprisonment up to seven years or fine up to Rs 100.000 Additional fine of up to Rs 5,000 for every day of violation.
17. Hazardous Substance/Waste legislation related to hazardous waste: Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989 Manufacture, Storage, and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules, 1989 Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Amendment Rules, 2000 – Draft Notification Manufacture, Storage, and Import of Hazardous Chemical Amendment Rules, 2000 – Draft Notification Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 Public Liability Insurance Rules,1991
