Classification of degraded images is very important in practice because images are usually degraded by compression, noise, blurring, etc. Nevertheless, most of the research in image classification only focuses on clean images without any degradation. Some papers have already proposed deep convolutional neural networks composed of an image restoration network and a classification network to classify degraded images. This paper proposes an alternative approach in which we use a degraded image and an additional degradation parameter for classification. The proposed classification network has two inputs which are the degraded image and the degradation parameter. The estimation network of degradation parameters is also incorporated if degradation parameters of degraded images are unknown. The experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms a straightforward approach where the classification network is trained with degraded images only.

This study aims to analyze the perception of academics in the business course at Faculdade Adventista Paranaense (FAP) about organizational sustainability. To achieve this goal, it was decided to apply in person a questionnaire already validated based on the research by Serafim (2016), with the students of the administration course being classified as population. The final sample had 51 participants representing 94.44% of the population. Methodologically, the research is classified as quantitative, descriptive and survey. The results obtained conclude that academics consider it important to work on the concept of sustainability in the disciplines of undergraduate courses, where the formation of ideas arise, thus being able to help in the development of this awareness in the business sphere, however, when questioned individually, academics still they understand that the concept is very broad, and that individual actions alone are not enough for an effective improvement.
