Satellite Data as Evidences Before the Mechanisms of International Courts

The chapte analyses applicable law and provides an overview of international case law so far. It shows that in the future and for the purposes of Post 2030-Agenda of the UN, it can be envisaged that data satellite will be more and more widespread. Satellite data will be significant not only for the traditional issues such as environmental protection or borders delimitation, but also in other domains, like human rights protection.

Developing an algorithm to assess the UV erythemal dose for outdoor workers

An algorithm has been developed to determine the annual dose of UV solar radiation for outdoor workers. The dose is indirectly assessed basing on satellite data, mean global irradiance values, workers' data obtained by means of a questionnaire and corrective coefficients provided by a mathematical model. The values obtained by the use of the algorithm are compared with those obtained by measurement records in different environments. Results demonstrated that the algorithm estimates the mean daily erythemal dose with good approximation.
