"The book discusses biological and non-biological Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and associated Foreign Object Damage (FOD) in aviation. Written for aviation industry personnel, aircraft transport and ground operators, and aircraft pilots, the reader will learn to manage FOD to guarantee air traffic safety with minimum costs to airlines and airports. Management control for the debris begins at the aircraft design phase, and the book includes numerical analyses for estimating damage caused by strikes. The book explores aircraft operation in adverse weather conditions and inanimate FOD management programs for airports, airlines, airframe, and engine manufacturers"--

The article deals with the questions connected with indemnification caused by a crime in such countries as Germany, Russia, France, Great Britain, Hungary and Argentina. The author analyses the mechanism of compensation and rehabilitation of victim in criminal-procedural legislation of foreign countries in the view of possible implementation in national legislation.

The exploration and use of the space environment, consisting of outer space per se, the moon, and celestial bodies, may result in harm to persons and to property. International law and municipal law have focused on rules allowing for the payment of money damages for harm caused by space objects and their component parts, including the "payload." Both forms of law have accepted the basic proposition that money damages should compensate for harm. Principal attention will be given in this analysis to the kinds of harm caused by space objects that are considered to be compensable under international law at the present time.

Abstract. The Flood Damage Database HOWAS 21 contains object-specific flood damage data resulting from fluvial, pluvial and groundwater flooding. The datasets incorporate various variables of flood hazard, exposure, vulnerability and direct tangible damage at properties from several economic sectors. The main purpose of development of HOWAS 21
was to support forensic flood analysis and the derivation of flood damage
models. HOWAS 21 was first developed for Germany and currently almost
exclusively contains datasets from Germany. However, its scope has recently
been enlarged with the aim to serve as an international flood damage
database; e.g. its web application is now available in German and English.
This paper presents the recent advancements of HOWAS 21 and highlights
exemplary analyses to demonstrate the use of HOWAS 21 flood damage data. The data applications indicate a large potential of the database for fostering a better understanding and estimation of the consequences of flooding.

On September 10, 1971, the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space adopted and decided to submit to the General Assembly for consideration and final adoption a draft Convention on International Liability for Damage caused by Space Objects. Approval of the Convention was recommended by the First Committee of the General Assembly on November 11, 1971; and on November 29, 1971 it was endorsed by the General Assembly. The Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects marks the culmination of a decade of debate and negotiation of the problem of liability for damage arising from outer space activities.

"Foreign Objects is a critical look at consumption through the lens of indigenous knowledge and archeological theory"--Provided by publisher

Foreign Object Debris (FOD) is defined as one of the major problems in the airline maintenance industry, reducing the levels of safety. A foreign object which may result in causing serious damage to an airplane, including engine problems and personal safety risks. Therefore, it is critical to detect FOD in place to guarantee the safety of airplanes flying. FOD detection systems in the past lacked an effective method for automatic material recognition as well as high speed and accuracy in detecting materials. This paper proposes the FOD model using a variety of feature extraction approaches like Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to extract features and Deep Learning (DL) for classification. The data for this research was taken from the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport runways. FOD has been done via utilizing a Convolutional Neural Network Classifier (CNN) with 27 layers. Those layers are distributed as follows: nine convolutional layers of type 1D; eight leaky ReLU layers; seven maxpooling 1D layers; two fully connected layers that are represented by the (Dense); and one flattening layer. The performance measures utilized in the system are precision, accuracy, F-score, and recall. The experimental results obtained after implementation and testing are of accuracy 99.8%, precision 100%, recall 100%, and F1-score is 100%. Experiments show that the proposed method has good performance in detection accuracy.

The article analyzes the evolution of foreign policy approaches of Poland towards Belarus and Belarusian nationalism. The main purpose of the article is to identify the evolution of approaches to Belarus in Polish political thought and practices of the Polish state. The ambiguous attitude of Polish political figures to Belarusian nationalism and the very idea of Belarusian statehood is demonstrated. This attitude has changed significantly over time from active rejection of Belarusian nationalism to readiness to use and support it in the foreign policy interests of Poland. The article shows that Poland's contemporary approaches towards Belarus are based on the Giedroyc-Mieroszewski doctrine and involve the establishment of "soft" ideological, political, cultural and economic dominance of Poland in the former lands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth without formally changing existing borders. It is noted that the success of these methods of Polish foreign policy in relation to Belarus is significantly lower than in relation to Ukraine. This is primarily due to the peculiarities of the political development of Belarus in the post-Soviet period, as well as the limited ability of Poland to influence the target audience within Belarusian society. The author draws attention to the fact that Polish policy towards Belarus should be the object of close attention of Russia, since the strengthening of Polish influence in the countries of the common neighborhood may pose a threat to Russian national interests.
