Foresight of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Opportunities for a Better World: التبصر (واستشراف المستقبل) فرص لعالم أفضل مع جائحة فيروس كورونا (كوفيد 19)

Throughout history, epidemics gave humans many challenges, but yet also brought with it many visible and hidden opportunities. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is no except, and in this paper, we foresight the opportunities for a better world that this deadly crisis brings to us. We review different opportunities that this virus and similar recent incidents, like SARS, brought to our life. Then, we pause to visualise through rethinking, redefining and reframing the hidden opportunities inside the (COVID-19) and similar coming problems and challenges. This "think outside of the box" paper create new pathways toward more inspiring economies that would address the key elements we started to miss in our development journey. Integrating future foresight into such problem-solving attempts could create for us more future-informed generations that take participatory actions towards humans’ complex challenges with high availability and preparedness. The paper concludes with a proposed framework to exploit the opportunities of such a complex crisis while mitigating its risks. Further studies are highly recommended if we are to see solutions that could save humanity from the coming crisis.

Underwater video transmission with video enhancement using reduce hazing algorithm

Underwater video regulation is an insightful research field that can help engineers with bettering investigation on the lowered condition. Submerged video preparing has been utilized in a many fields, such as submerged infinitesimal location, landscape examining, mine identification, media transmission connections, and self-proficient lowered vehicles. Be that as it may, submerged video experiences solid assimilation, dissipating, shading contortion, and clamor from the manufactured light sources, causing video obscure, cloudiness, and a somewhat blue or greenish tone. In this way, the improvement can be separated into two techniques, submerged video de-preliminaries and underexposed video concealing remaking. Relentless in remote correspondence structures, for instance 3G, 4G, and so on, a coming crisis is endless deftly of the nonattendance of consistently Radio Frequency (RF) resources; this deterrent in moving speed cannot strengthen the improvement notable for high information speed. So the new innovation of Light-Fidelity (Li-Fi) came into picture. This innovation can be contrasted to that of Wi-Fi and offers points of interest like expanded available spectrum efficiency, effectiveness, security, low idleness and a lot higher speed. Communication is accomplished by exchanging light-emitting diode (LED) lights on and off at a speed higher than what is detectable to the human eye. This paper presents the explanation behind underexposed picture corruption and surveys the cutting-edge knowledge calculations like video reduce hazing algorithm. In this calculation, it uses two different de-hazing methods, simple Dark Channel Prior (DCP) and Approximate Dark Channel Prior (ADCP), to reduce haze in a video.

The Case Against Leaders: A Moral Reading of Geir Haarde's Conviction for Negligence of Ministerial Duties

In the aftermath of the Icelandic economic crisis of 2008 Iceland's former Prime Minister Geir Haarde was convicted for negligence of his constitutional duty to consult with his ministers on measures to prepare for the coming crisis. The court ruled that there was sufficient information available to the government to conclude that there was real danger of a major banking crisis in the months preceding the crisis. Mr. Haarde was the only head of government to be convicted in the aftermath of the Financial crisis. His indictment and conviction was hotly debated in Iceland where many people considered the process unfair, primarily because Mr. Haarde was the only minister indicted by Parliament for negligence of duties although a Special Investigative Commission appointed by Parliament had recommended indicting other ministers and officials as well. The paper reviews the case against Haarde and the public reaction to it. It is argued that the majority of judges on the special court which convicted Mr. Haarde used the constitutional clause on the duty to conduct ministerial meetings to present a more wideranging condemnation of Haarde's failure to deal with and acknowledge the threats Iceland was facing. Public opinion changed over time: When the Parliament began its consideration of whether to indict former ministers surveys showed an overwhelming majority favoring indictments, but limited confidence that anyone would actually be indicted. When proceedings against Mr. Haarde started public support was much less. After the conviction opinion polls have shown growing doubts about the special court itself. The whole case is an interesting example of the elusiveness of accountability: The paper argues that a thoroughgoing moral reading of Mr. Haarde's conviction reveals a more damning analysis og his actions (and lack of actions) than has generally been acknowledged by political leaders and in public debates.
