Drowsiness detection using OpenCV
With this python project, we will make Drowsiness Detection System. An incalculable number of individuals drive on the roadway day and night. Cabbies, transport drivers, transporter, and individuals voyaging significant distances experience a lack of sleep. Because of this, it turns out to be extremely dangerous to drive when feeling lethargic. Most of the mishaps occurred because of the tiredness of the driver. In this way, to prevent these mishaps we are constructing a framework using python, OpenCV, and Keras which will caution the driver when he feels drowsy. Drowsiness Detection is a security innovation that can prevent mishaps that can be brought about by drivers who dozed off while driving. The goal of this halfway python project is to make a Drowsiness Detection system that will identify that an individual’s eyes are shut for a couple of moments. The framework will caution the driver when tiredness is recognized.

Impact on rubber plantation during COVID-19: A study of Kottayam district
Rubber is considered the most important and useful material in the world due to its wide scope of use in our normal daily existence. Ordinary rubber comes from the milk of rubber trees. Technical rubber is made from synthetic materials. Rubber was originally called CAUCHO to imply sobbing wood. Joseph Priestly is the man behind the use of rubber. The rubber plant is a huge, fast-growing, very durable woody plant normally, filled in the tropical zone. The dominant part of India’s developing rubber land is held in a thin belt on the Western Ghats. Moderate and evenly scattered rainfall of about 2000mm and 4000mm per year, with a warm tropical temperature of about 21℃ to 35℃, a warm and humid environment, and a slightly acidic lateritic soil are excellent elements for the development of the rubber plant. Kanyakumari district in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and southern Kanara district in Karnataka is the common rubber development belts in India. From the outside, we look at Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia are the three of the main leading rubber producers. Natural rubber is cultivated in 16 states in India. With over 6,00,000 hectares, Kerala tops rubber cultivation, followed by Tripura with over 85,038 hectares under plantation. Other major natural rubber producers are Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Assam, and other northeastern states. Under this study, the condition of rubber plantations will be explained before and after covid-19. The study basically attempts to study and analyze the fundamental factors that influence the price of Natural rubber in India. The study was done exclusively based on secondary data. The data were analyzed using graphs, correlations, and multiple regressions. The relationship between the domestic price and the international price was analyzed using Nominal Protection Coefficient. Based on the secondary objective to study the impact of the fall in rubber prices with reference to farmers in the Kottayam district and to study the socio-economic profile of the farmers in the Kottayam district, the data was collected by conducting direct interviews scheduled through a questionnaire with the farmers in Kottayam district. The living conditions of rubber cultivators are poor. The fall in rubber prices has affected the livelihood of farmers who depend only on rubber cultivation. Many of them have taken agricultural loans from banks or other private financing companies to meet the expenses of rubber cultivation. Without a minimum profitable price and support from the government and rubber board, it will be difficult for rubber growers to continue cultivation.

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.

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.

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.
