Abstract:
AbstractThe controversy surrounding military drones has generated many proposals for restricting or prohibiting existing drones, additional autonomous variants that may be created in the future, and the sale of drones to certain markets. Moreover, there is broad interest in regulating military drones, with proposals coming not only from academics but also from NGOs and policymakers. I argue that these proposals generally fail to consider the dual-use character of drones and that they therefore provide inadequate regulatory guidance. Drones are not confined to the military but rather spread across international and domestic security roles, humanitarian relief efforts, and dozens of civilian applications. Drones, their component technologies, the control infrastructure, and the relevant technical expertise would continue to develop under a military-focused regulatory regime as civilian technologies that have the potential to be militarized. I evaluate the prospects of drone regulation with the help of research on other dual-use technologies, while also showing what the study of drones can contribute to that literature. Drones’ ubiquity in nonmilitary roles presents special regulatory challenges beyond those associated with WMDs and missiles, which indicates that strict regulatory controls or international governance frameworks are unlikely to succeed. With this in mind, I further argue that future research should acknowledge that drone proliferation across military and civilian spheres is unavoidable and shift focus to considering how drone warfare may be moderated by countermeasures and institutional pressures.

Abstract:
Drones are increasingly used to transport health products, but life-saving interventions can be stalled if local community concerns and preferences are not assessed and addressed. In order to inform the introduction of drones in new contexts, this paper analyzed similarities and differences in community perceptions of medical delivery drones in Malawi, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Dominican Republic (DR). Community perceptions were assessed using focus group discussions (FGDs) and key informant interviews (KIIs) conducted with stakeholders at the national level, at health facilities and in communities. Data were collected on respondents’ familiarity with drones, perceptions of benefits and risks of drones, advice on drone operations and recommendations on sharing information with the community. The comparative analysis found similar perceptions around the potential benefits of using drones, as well as important differences in the perceived risks of flying drones and culturally appropriate communication mechanisms based on the local context. Because community perceptions are heavily influenced by culture and local experiences, a similar assessment should be conducted before introducing drone activities in new areas and two-way feedback channels should be established once drone operations are established in an area. The extent to which a community understands and supports the use of drones to transport health products will ultimately play a critical role in the success or failure of the drone’s ability to bring life-saving products to those who need them.

Abstract:
Abstract This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the Islamic State's use of images taken by drones, drawing on a dataset of ISIS propaganda images from October 2016 to December 2018. Analysing the three principal uses of drone imagery by ISIS—images of drone strikes, images of other attacks and observation—we argue that ISIS's use of drones distinguishes itself from other state and non-state uses of drones primarily by its communicative and symbolic value. While ISIS’ use of drone strikes takes place in a tactical rather than strategic setting, its employment of drones to film VBIED attacks allows them to achieve a strategic effect. After outlining ISIS’ use of drones for combat air support and to film ground (particularly VBIED) attacks, we argue, drawing on political geography, that ISIS employs drones in propaganda to stake and reinforce a claim to sovereign control of territory, performed through the flying of aircraft. The use of drone imagery, we argue, taps into long-standing visual and discursive strategies which associate vertical hierarchy and flying with mastery and control, allowing ISIS to display attributes of aerial sovereignty. This article, through an analysis of ISIS drone propaganda, provides a rare insight into non-state actors’ perception of drones and the communicative value of drone images, in addition to suggesting further avenues for the incorporation of political–geographical studies of verticality into the study of political violence and rhetoric.

Abstract:
The use of drones to study marine animals shows promise for the examination of numerous aspects of their ecology, behaviour, health and movement patterns. However, the responses of some marine phyla to the presence of drones varies broadly, as do the general operational protocols used to study them. Inconsistent methodological approaches could lead to difficulties comparing studies and can call into question the repeatability of research. This review draws on current literature and researchers with a wealth of practical experience to outline the idiosyncrasies of studying various marine taxa with drones. We also outline current best practice for drone operation in marine environments based on the literature and our practical experience in the field. The protocols outlined herein will be of use to researchers interested in incorporating drones as a tool into their research on marine animals and will help form consistent approaches for drone-based studies in the future.

Abstract:
In the past three years, there has been rapid progress in the use of drones in society. Drones, which were previously used only experimentally in various industrial fields, are now being used in earnest in everyday operations. Drones are becoming indispensable tools in several industrial fields, such as surveying, inspection, and agriculture. At the same time, there has also been dramatic progress in autonomous drone technology. With the advancement of image processing, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and artificial intelligence technologies, many intelligent drones that apply these technologies are being researched. At the same time, our knowledge of multi-rotor helicopters, the main type of drones, has continued to deepen. As the strengths and weaknesses of multi-rotor helicopters have gradually become clearer, drones with alternate structures, such as flapping-wing drones, have come to attract renewed attention. In addition, the range of applications for drones, including passenger drones, has expanded greatly, and research on unprecedented drone operations, as well as research on systems and controls to ensure operational safety, is actively being conducted. This special issue contains the latest review, research papers, and development reports on autonomous drones classified as follows from the abovementioned perspectives. · Research on drone airframes and structures · Research on drone navigation and recognition with a focus on image processing · Research on advanced drone controls · Research and development of drone applications We hope that the readers will actively promote the use of drones in their own research and work, based on the information obtained from this special issue.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Recently the FAA relaxed restrictions on the use of drones or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) for commercial purposes. Markets for commercial drone use are in the technology trigger phase of the Gartner Group's Hyper Cycle, with developments occurring rapidly in real estate, agriculture (farming), the film industry, insurance, and other areas. Examination and inspection applications of drones have been proposed in heavy industry and cell tower inspection. Previous research suggests an incremental structure for implementing technological innovations such as continuous auditing (CA). In this paper these proposals are expanded to include the additional requirements to add drone technologies. This structure is extended here by (1) defining the use of drones in audit environments, with emphasis on the continuous versus occasional use of drone technologies, (2) extending the technical adoption architecture to include the use of drones, and (3) considering the types of drone usages amenable to both internal and external audits. A specific architecture is proposed here to prototype inventory counts in large warehouses or open-air inventories and that satisfies the suggested requirements. Additionally, this proposal adds value to the current research by extending the discussion of technology adoption in the Alles, Kogan, and Vasarhelyi (2008) paper to include the use of drones in many different audit environments by enumerating the usage types of drones in audit settings and by considering the prototype of such a system.

Abstract:
Abstract Drones are unmanned aircraft controlled remotely or operated autonomously. While the extant literature suggests that drones can in principle invade people’s privacy, little is known about how people actually think about drones. Drawing from a series of in-depth interviews conducted in the United States, we provide a novel and rich account of people’s privacy perceptions of drones for civilian uses both in general and under specific usage scenarios. Our informants raised both physical and information privacy issues against government, organization and individual use of drones. Informants’ reasoning about the acceptance of drone use was in part based on whether the drone is operating in a public or private space. However, our informants differed significantly in their definitions of public and private spaces. While our informants’ privacy concerns such as surveillance, data collection and sharing have been raised for other tracking technologies such as camera phones and closed-circuit television (CCTV), our interviews highlight two heightened issues of drones: (1) powerful yet inconspicuous data collection, (2) hidden and inaccessible drone controllers. These two aspects of drones render some of people’s existing privacy practices futile (e.g., notice recording and ask controllers to stop or delete the recording). Some informants demanded notifications of drones near them and expected drone controllers asking for their explicit permissions before recording. We discuss implications for future privacy-enhancing drone designs.

Abstract:
In the post-9/11 world, the use of drone strikes has become a critical aspect of U.S. Military strategy in the War on Terror. While the ethics of drones have been argued from a theological perspective, this essay argues that a deeper, more theoretical understanding of drones is necessary in order to mount an adequate theological response. The author argues that the particular epistemological foundations by which drone strikes are justified must be given a theological corrective and that the Eucharist is the site for such a correction. This essay ultimately argues that the Eucharist shows the epistemology that undergirds the use of drones to be severely lacking and that under the judgment of the Eucharist the use of such technology is incompatible with the identity of the Church.

Abstract:
Audio analysis over an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) is of interest it is an essential step for on-board sound source localization and separation. This could be useful for search & rescue operations, as well as for detection of unauthorized drone operations. In this paper, an analysis of the previously introduced Acoustic Interactions for Robot Audition (AIRA)-UAS corpus is presented, which is a set of recordings produced by the ego-noise of a drone performing different aerial maneuvers and by other drones flying nearby. It was found that the recordings have a very low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), that the noise is dynamic depending of the drone’s movements, and that their noise signatures are highly correlated. Three popular filtering techniques were evaluated in this work in terms of noise reduction and signature extraction, which are: Berouti’s Non-Linear Noise Subtraction, Adaptive Quantile Based Noise Estimation, and Improved Minima Controlled Recursive Averaging. Although there was moderate success in noise reduction, no filter was able to keep intact the signature of the drone flying in parallel. These results are evidence of the challenge in audio processing over drones, implying that this is a field prime for further research.

Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Journalism and Mass Communications<br>Tom Hallaq<br>Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), or drones as they are commonly known, could allow journalists to report the news like never before. A drone is a tool with great potential, yet fraught with controversy as the result of its military past. In 2012, the Unmanned Aerial System had become domesticated and could have become the hottest new technology since the cell phone. The first unmanned systems came to service gathering intelligence and in the delivery of lethal and non-lethal payloads for the military. With the domestication of UAS technologies, not only have numerous commercial uses been revealed for the UAS, the drone has made it to the hands of the general public, raising concerns of how this technology is to be used. At the time of this thesis, in the United States, the only legal use of UAS was by hobbyists. Also, at the time of this thesis, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had not provided comprehensive regulations or guidelines regarding the commercial use of UAS platforms (FAA, 2015). Of the many uses purposed for UAS platforms, one use of interest for journalists is the increased potential for newsgathering and surveillance. With UAS/drone technologies becoming increasingly more available, concerns are raised about safety, privacy, context, and the integrity of news source or (conflict of interest). The researcher interviewed working journalists from four major networks with stations located in states mandated as test sites by the FAA. The journalists were asked about their concerns pertaining to the ethical uses of drone for journalistic newsgathering. The interviews reveled that with proper training, regulations, and common sense the concerns about safety, privacy, context, and conflict of interest could be moderated.

Abstract:
The Wright fishhook cactus (Sclerocactus wrightiae L.D. Benson) is an endangered cactus species endemic to south-central Utah. Since its listing in 1979 by the U.S. Fish and Wildife Service, the potential impacts of soil disturbance by cattle have become a central focus of management policies and monitoring efforts. However, little to no empirical data has been collected to substantiate the hypothesis that soil disturbance by cattle has direct or indirect negative effects on Wright fishhook cactus growth or reproduction. Over the years, the Bureau of Land Mangement (BLM) and Capitol Reef National Park (CRNP) have invested significant resources documenting cactus populations including several attributes of individual cacti: GPS location, diameter, number of flowers, fruits, or buds, number of stems, and the presence or absence of a cow track within 15 cm of the cactus. While these efforts have been commendable, due to the defining phenological characteristics of this species (flower and filament color) and its short flowering period (April-May) it remains difficult to study and much basic biological information including a range wide population estimate and defined critical habitat remain unknown. Our research had two primary objectives, 1) evalutate the effects of soil disturbance by cattle on reproduction and diameter of the Wright fishhook cactus (Chapters 1 and 2), and 2) explore the use of drones and GIS to define critical habitat and obtain an accurate range wide population estimate (Chapters 3 and 4). In Chapter 1, we analyzed cactus attribute data collected by the BLM at 30 macro-plots representing different levels of soil related cattle disturbance (high, moderate, and low) from 2011-2017. We found no significant association between level of cattle disturbance and flower density or cactus diameter. We did find a significant negative association between flower frequency and increased disturbance. In Chapter 2, we conducted an experimental study where tracks were simulated within 15 cm of cacti at various levels (Ctrl, 1-Track, 2-Track, 4-Tracks, and 4-Tracks Doubled). No significant association was observed between the number of tracks and response in diameter, flower production, fruit production, or seed set. In Chapter 3, we conducted drone flights over 14 macro-plots at three different altitudes above ground level (10 m, 15 m, and 20 m) and found that while the 10 m flights provided the best remotely sensed survey results, drones are not a suitable replacement for ground censuses. In Chapter 4, we used Resource Selection Function to define critical habitat for the Wright fishhook cactus. Our modeling suggests that geology, elevation, and slope are significant factors in defining cactus habitat. Based on the results of our research we conclude that soil disturbance by cattle may not have a significant influence on Wright fishhook cactus populations or dynamics, and that accurate range wide population estimates may be best obtained through ground surveys within the predicted critical habitat.

Os resultados desta primeira etapa mostraram que 34,7% dos estudantes bebem álcool de uma maneira arriscada, não havendo diferenças significativas por escola, gênero e nível socioeconômico. Ter um familiar que bebe, apresentou-se como um fator de risco, apesar de não ser a única influência para o adolescente beber. Pertencer a uma religião, principalmente a evangélica, apresentou-se como um forte fator protetivo. Quanto a segunda parte da pesquisa, foi realizado uma entrevista que analisou quantidade, freqüência e idade de inicio de uso das drogas lícitas e ilícitas. E também o contexto de uso de álcool, ou seja o local, companhia, bebida mais usada e o motivo do uso. Identificou-se que as drogas mais usadas são as drogas lícitas, ou seja, primeiro o álcool e depois o tabaco. Entre as drogas ilícitas, a maconha foi a mais usada. Em relação a idade de início, verificou-se que os sujeitos começam a usar as drogas lícitas e ilícitas na adolescência e a primeira droga a ser usada é o álcool com idade média de 12,84 (DP 2,40).

In order to understand this situation, this research investigated the use of alcohol and other drugs and the context of use of alcohol among the students of three high schools (a private and a public, located downtown and in the suburbs, respectively) of Cacavel, Paraná, Brazil. In its turn, the research was carried out in two stages, in the first, a questionnaire was applied comprising two data-collection instruments, the “Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test” – AUDIT and the “Quantity and frequency of alcohol use” – Q_F. It was also gathered information about the socioeconomic level, religion and binge drinking of family members. The results of the first stage show that 34.7% of the students drink alcohol in a risk way, there are no substantial differences among school, gender and social economic level. Having an addicted family member, presented as risky factor, although it is not the only influence on the adolescent behavior towards drinking. Belonging to a religious group, mainly the evangelical one, presented itself as a decisive protective factor. In relation to the second part of the research, an interview analyzed the quantity, frequency and age of use of legal and illegal drugs. It was also observed, the context of alcohol use, the place, relationships, most consumed beverages and the reason for consuming. It was identified that the most used drugs are legal ones, alcohol first and then tobacco. Among the illegal drugs, marijuana was the most used one. Concerning the age of first use, it was verified that the adolescent starts to use legal and illegal drugs in early teenage years and the first used drug is the alcohol in the average age of 12,84 (PD 2.40).

Abstract:
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones, will disrupt many industries in the next 5 to 10 years. In this research brief, we speculate about how UAS could be used in survey data collection to make survey data more accurate and/or less costly. We put forth three ideas for how UAS can be used to improve surveys in the future to (1) supplement survey data with UAS photo and sensor data; (2) deliver survey hardware to selected respondents, and (3) detect and enumerate housing units for sample selection.

Full text
Abstract:
Rain impacts roadways such as wet pavement, standing water, decreased visibility, and wind gusts and can lead to hazardous driving conditions. This study investigates the use of high fidelity Doppler data at 1 km spatial and 2-minute temporal resolution in combination with commercial probe speed data on freeways. Segment-based space-mean speeds were used and drops in speeds during rainfall events of 5.5 mm/hour or greater over a one-month period on a section of four to six-lane interstate were assessed. Speed reductions were evaluated as a time series over a 1-hour window with the rain data. Three interpolation methods for estimating rainfall rates were tested and seven metrics were developed for the analysis. The study found sharp drops in speed of more than 40 mph occurred at estimated rainfall rates of 30 mm/hour or greater, but the drops did not become more severe beyond this threshold. The average time of first detected rainfall to impacting speeds was 17 minutes. The bilinear method detected the greatest number of events during the 1-month period, with the most conservative rate of predicted rainfall. The range of rainfall intensities were estimated between 7.5 to 106 mm/hour for the 39 events. This range was much greater than the heavy rainfall categorization at 16 mm/hour in previous studies reported in the literature. The bilinear interpolation method for Doppler data is recommended because it detected the greatest number of events and had the longest rain duration and lowest estimated maximum rainfall out of three methods tested, suggesting the method balanced awareness of the weather conditions around the roadway with isolated, localized rain intensities.
