EU Policies In Balancing Border Control And Libyan Migrants Protection Under Humanitarian Law
Nuran El Naami
Abstract: The rights guaranteed by the European Convention are objective in nature, due to the fact that they cannot be called into question by subsequent agreements between states, just as the obligations of states are objective, established not in relation to other states, but in relation to individuals. This objectivity of the legal order based on the European Convention is reflected both in the absence of the principle of reciprocity, otherwise common in interstate relations, and in the recognition of its direct effect and supremacy, as well as the right to individual petition. Accordingly, the European Court itself sees the European Convention as a “constitutional instrument of European public order”.

Prototype of Cabin Altitude Monitoring System: Simulating Aircraft Pressure Thresholds Using BME280
Muhammad Fa’iz Alfatih, Erwan Eko Prasetiyo, Rian Adrian
Abstract: Maintaining safe cabin pressure is essential for commercial aircraft operating at high altitudes, as reduced atmospheric pressure can lead to hypoxia, posing significant risks to passenger safety and comfort. Hypoxia, resulting from inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues, can cause impaired cognitive function, dizziness, loss of consciousness, and in extreme cases, fatal outcomes. Thus, aircraft utilize sophisticated cabin altitude monitoring systems designed to detect and warn flight crews of potentially hazardous pressure drops, ensuring passenger and crew well-being.

Using Machine Learning to Predict the Impact of the 2025 US Tariffs
Arnav Jain
Abstract: On April 2, 2025, the president of The United States of America, Donald J. Trump placed a baseline 10% tariff on US imports from all countries, labeling it as “Liberation Day”. This tariff was higher for countries that imposed higher tariffs on American goods [1], with certain exceptions [2]. Similarly, lower tariffs on the US resulted in lower tariffs from the US. These tariffs were placed to lower the US trade deficit and increase national good production [3]. To understand the impact of large economic events such as the implementation of these tariffs, economists use a classical approach based on past events and intuition to. Although the classical method provides success to a high degree, AI and machine learning propose a potentially more accurate and efficient method. This paper uses machine learning to evaluate the 2025 US tariffs and predict the impacts on US trade.

Abstract: This comprehensive analysis examines the complex relationship between full-term pregnancy completion and adverse outcomes including stillbirth and infant mortality, with specific focus on the Indian healthcare landscape.

Maternal Obesity in Pregnancy: Evidence-Based Management from Pre-conception to Post-partum
Dr VIBHA VINOD KUMAR AGARWAL
Abstract: Obesity (body-mass index ≥ 30 kg/m²) now affects more than 20 % of pregnant women worldwide and is a major driver of adverse obstetric and long-term cardiometabolic outcomes. Because weight loss during gestation is generally discouraged, the window for intervention spans pre-conception optimisation, tailored antenatal surveillance, risk-adapted intrapartum planning, and structured post-partum care. This narrative review synthesises guidelines and primary research published 2020-2025 to outline best-practice management of women with obesity in pregnancy. Core themes are: (1) pre-pregnancy counselling, folic-acid optimisation and bariatric-surgery timing; (2) early first-trimester booking with baseline metabolic assessment; (3) lifestyle, nutritional and pharmacologic strategies that safely limit gestational weight gain to Institute of Medicine (IOM) targets; (4) prevention, screening and treatment of obesity-related complications such as gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders and venous thrombo-embolism; (5) anaesthetic, operative and neonatal considerations; and (6) post-partum weight-management, lactation support and inter-pregnancy interval planning. Evidence shows that multicomponent lifestyle programmes reduce excessive weight gain by 20-30 % and confer modest improvements in glycaemic control, while higher-dose thromboprophylaxis and ultrasound-guided neuraxial analgesia mitigate intrapartum morbidity. Remaining research gaps include precision nutrition, pharmacotherapy trials and long-term maternal-child cardiometabolic surveillance.
Assessment of Compliance with Local and International Safety Regulations for Marine Vessels on Inland Waters in Tanzania: A Case of Lake Victoria
Abubakar I Bapumia, Mohamed Kauli Makame and Werneld Egno Ngongi
Abstract: This study assessed the compliance with local and international safety regulations for marine vessels operating in Tanzania inland waters. Focusing on Lake Victoria, the study involves a total of 80 respondents including vessel operators, governmental officials, maritime safety inspectors, vessel crew members and maritime regulatory officer. The study employed a mixed-methods approach using structured questionnaires, interviews, and documentary review. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to uncover compliance trends and deficiencies in regulatory enforcement. Findings reveal high awareness and engagement with safety regulations but also highlight major challenges such as limited financial resources, insufficient training, and regulatory capacity gaps. Statistical analyses, including regression and reliability tests, support the presence of strong awareness but identify inconsistencies in enforcement. The results indicated that although awareness of safety regulations is quite high over 60% of respondents showed familiarity with both local and international safety standards compliance is frequently obstructed by logistical and financial challenges. More than 80% of participants acknowledged the significance of inspections, yet inconsistent enforcement and a lack of follow-up were identified as major deficiencies. The study concludes with strategic recommendations for enhancing compliance and safety standards, including targeted training, enhanced inspection practices, and greater regulatory resourcing.
