The increase of productivity and decrease of production loss is an important goal for modern industry to stay economically competitive. For that, efficient fault management and quick amendment of faults in production lines are needed. The prioritization of faults accelerates the fault amendment process but depends on preceding fault detection and classification. Data-driven methods can support fault management. The increasing usage of sensors to monitor machine health status in production lines leads to large amounts of data and high complexity. Machine Learning methods exploit this data to support fault management. This paper reviews literature that presents methods for several steps of fault management and provides an overview of requirements for fault handling and methods for fault detection, fault classification, and fault prioritization, as well as their prerequisites. The paper shows that fault prioritization lacks research about available learning methods and underlines that expert opinions are needed.

Groundwater contamination in the Mediterranean Basin is a severe problem that has a significant impact on environmental ecosystems and human health. The unconventional uranium and the potentially toxic elements (PTEs) of phosphate rocks are the principal contaminants in the phosphate mining industry in Tunisia. Phosphogypsum (PG) results from the valorization of phosphate to fertilizers and phosphoric acid. PG stocks can be used in cement production, brick manufacturing, and soil amendments in desertic land, and can be resolved by using nanomaterial adsorbents. In the flat area of the study area, the increase in radioactivity (40K) is due to abusive fertilizer use. Geochemical and radiological analyses in the northern part of Tunisia and its karst shallow aquifer indicate significant contamination levels. The northern part exhibits moderate contamination, whereas the karst shallow aquifer shows higher contamination levels, particularly with elevated nitrate concentrations. In the phosphate basin, both washing phosphate and phosphogypsum reveal high levels of radioactive elements, with the latter showing especially high concentrations of radium. The shallow aquifer in this region has moderate contamination levels, while the deep geothermal aquifer also shows noticeable contamination but to a lesser degree compared to the shallow aquifer. The shallow groundwater is characterized by a higher value of radioactivity than the groundwater due to the contamination impact from the phosphate industry and the cumulative radioactivity disintegration. Finally, the nanoparticles and the electrostatic adsorption can decrease the PTEs and radionuclides from the contaminated water in the study area. Moreover, other key issues for advancing research on groundwater contamination are proposed in this study. It is time to valorize this PG and the other mines of (Fe, Pb, and Zn) in the socioeconomic sector in Tunisia and to minimize the environmental impact of the industrial sector’s extraction on groundwater and human health in the study area.

Earthquakes are hard to predict, and the destruction caused by the events far outstrip the monetary damage. Important cultural heritage sites functioning as places of community and identity have a value which evades pure pecuniary calculation. This makes understanding the complete economic and social impact of earthquakes a difficult and daunting task. We use high-resolution TerraSAR-X data acquired after the 2023 earthquake in Turkey to assess its impact on selected cultural heritage sites. Leveraging different orbit and incidence angles of image acquisition allow us to show the difficulties in interpreting high-resolution SAR data. While large impacts, like the complete collapse of structures, can be detected successfully, small-scale damage and partial collapses are often difficult to detect from single SAR images. We find that single SAR scene interpretation for damage assessment of cultural heritage is not a viable option. While contextualizing data might help to understand the situation, SAR is only helpful if data of the intact cultural heritage sites have been obtained before the event.

The third-party governance of environmental pollution and the pollution rights trading system are two typical examples of modern environmental governance systems. In China, the quasi-co-owned relationship of pollution rights between pollution-discharging and pollution-control enterprises is the link through which to achieve synergy between the two factors. To explore how to achieve such synergy, first, the “principle of no-fault liability” is introduced, and the responsibilities of pollution-discharging enterprises and pollution-control enterprises are defined. Second, based on the quasi-co-owned relationship of pollution rights, a revenue-sharing mechanism for pollution rights trading is designed. Finally, a tripartite evolutionary game model consisting of pollution-discharging enterprises, pollution-control enterprises and local governments is constructed, and numerical simulation is performed. The results are as follows. 1) By setting a reasonable market trading price for pollution rights, a reward and punishment distribution coefficient, an improvement in reputation gains, and a saving in pollution rights indicators become conducive to the formation of cooperative relationships between pollution-discharging and pollution-control enterprises, for which the reasonable range of the reward and punishment distribution coefficient is (0.3, 0.4]. 2) Regardless of whether a government subsidy is provided, the optimal range of the revenue-sharing coefficient from pollution rights trading is [0.5, 0.6]. 3) When a government subsidy is withdrawn, increasing the market trading price and surplus indicators of pollution rights can promote the stable operation of the third-party governance model. 4) An increase in policy support and administrative accountability of higher levels of government and a reduction in supervision costs for local governments can help these parties effectively avoid addressing the absence of local government supervision. It is recommended that third-party governance enterprises participate in pollution rights trading to implement the main responsibilities of pollution-discharging and pollution-control enterprises and to set a reasonable revenue-sharing coefficient and reward and punishment distribution coefficient of pollution rights.

If you know anything about Family Law, you know that Herma Hill Kay is the doyenne of the field-an elder stateswoman who has literally transformed the legal landscape of American family life. In the late 1960s and 1970s, as a revolution in substantive sex equality was sweeping California and the nation, Herma was at its center. As a member of Governor Edmund Brown's Commission on the Family, she participated in a rigorous study of California's family court system. The Commission's report paved the way for California's adoption of a no-fault divorce statute in 1969, a development that triggered a seismic shift in family life and Family Law. Firm in her conviction that \"women ought to be free and conscious actors... [who] ought to determine their own role in this world,\" Herma was actively involved in the passage of California's therapeutic abortion statute and testified in favor of California's ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. More recently, Herma served on the Advisory Group for the American Law Institute's Family Dissolution Project, which studied the changing demographics of the American family and the issue of women's equality in and outside of the family. The Project produced an influential report that articulated broad principles for ensuring gender equality and fairness throughout family dissolution.

This research presents the background of medical malpractice law, the tort of negligence with fault, tor of negligence without fault and wrongdoer’s in Vietnam in comparison with medical malpractice laws of some European countries. Vietnamese medical malpractice law has some similarities and noticeable differences to the other European countries. In particular, Vietnam has faced the lack of very important regulations in accurately determining the misconduct of medical practitioner such as standard of care, loss of chance, and strict liability. We propose future directions of possible amendments in the Vietnamese medical malpractice law.

This chapter explores the changes since the 1960s in Hindu law, which increased divorce rights and the rights of daughters in family joint property, and in commonly applicable matrimonial laws, which strengthened alimony entitlements and support for women and children facing domestic violence. These changes made nuclear-family membership more important and patrilineal kinship less important as a basis of rights and responsibilities, and promoted conjugal autonomy and women's entitlements. Decline in lineage power and the importance of landed property combined with the growth of rights organizations and policy institutions that address gender relations enabled these reforms. Political elites and judges only promoted changes in family practices they felt they had a basis in indigenous cultures, and politicians continued to seek broad coalitions. This dissuaded changes that could empower women such as dissolving joint property and restricting testamentary rights, but not a recent proposal to recognize rights in matrimonial property.
