An analysis and critique of secured lending in South African law, including cession in securitatem debiti as a means to secure the repayment of loans for consumption by Kariem, Adnaan

“…The principles of the law of cession, and the pledge and cession in securitatem debiti of rights in personam, including the theories that underly it, namely, the pactum fiduciae theory and the pledge theory, found security in personal rights and are measured against the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Secured Transactions, Vienna, 2019, the English law on charges and Article 9 of the American Uniform Commercial Code. A number of deficiencies and inconsistencies in our security rights laws are identified, including incongruency, the absence of a coherent and uniform security rights system, and adverse insolvency law consequences for the cedent on the cessionary's insolvency arise from applying the pactum fiduciae theory. …”

Real-time video sentiment analysis through the use of snapshots by Ramma, Sudiptee

“…In both scenarios, the augmented models outperformed the non-augmented models when tested on unseen static image data and when such a model was applied to a real-time video stream with the help of the OpenCV library and the relevant Haar Cascade classifiers, required for the face detection process (depending on which scenario), fairly accurate results were obtained when each frame within the video stream were converted into an image snapshot before classification. The code for this dissertation can be found here: https://github.com/Drish19/Facial-Emotion-Recognition.…”
