AbstractThe Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to have a huge impact, especially during the pandemic period. The study reveals that people are using the IoT mostly for education purposes (as students and educators), office work, banks and medical purposes during the pandemic. The topmost benefit of using IoT services experienced by people during pandemic situations is that it helps to strictly maintain physical distance. However, the greatest challenge faced by people is that the use of the IoT increases social distancing and reduces personal communication. Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed online and using a convenient random sampling method. A total of 260 participants’ properly completed responses were analyzed after conducting Three-fold validation. Research method was quantitative and empirical. Although, some studies have been found about IoT prospects in Bangladesh, no study has specifically explored the benefits and challenges of IoT services in diverse fields of Bangladesh during this new normal COVID-19 situation. The results can be beneficial to academic scholars, business professionals and organizations in different sectors and any other parties interested in determining the impact of IoT services on pandemic.

The evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) has augmented the necessity for Cloud, edge and fog platforms. The chief benefit of cloud-based schemes is they allow data to be collected from numerous services and sites, which is reachable from any place of the world. The organizations will be benefited by merging the cloud platform with the on-site fog networks and edge devices and as result, this will increase the utilization of the IoT devices and end users too. The network traffic will reduce as data will be distributed and this will also improve the operational efficiency. The impact of monitoring in edge and fog computing can play an important role to efficiently utilize the resources available at these layers. This paper discusses various techniques involved for monitoring for edge and fog computing and its advantages. The paper ends with a case study to demonstarte the need of monitoring in fog and edge in the healthcare system.

The COVID-19 pandemic poses problems in various sectors. The most vulnerable sector in this situation is the social sector, especially education. Problems such as the learning process make the continuity of education a concern. This is a challenge for the community in the era of society 5.0 in the hope of overcoming the problems that arise due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The use of big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things is an alternative effort to help deal with the impact of the pandemic in accordance with the conditions in this disruptive era. This study aims to determine the policies and strategies of society 5.0 in the learning process as an effort to handle the impact of the pandemic. This study uses a systematic review research method of literature published by scientific journals in the period January 2010 to December 2021. The data used comes from published journals related to the topics studied and from various electronic media. The results of the study can find out strategies in the learning process in the implementation of society 5.0 in policies in the field of education as an effort to deal with the impact of the covid-19 pandemic. ABSTRAKPandemi covid-19 memberikan permasalahan di berbagai sektor. Sektor yang paling rentan dalam situasi ini adalah sektor sosial terutama pada pendidikan. Permasalahan seperti proses pembelajaran membuat keberlangsungan pendidikan menuai kekhawatiran. Hal ini menjadi sebuah tantangan bagi masyarakat di era society 5.0 dengan harapan dapat mengatasi permasalahan yang timbul akibat pandemi Covid-19. Pemanfaatan big data, artificial intelligent, dan internet of things menjadi upaya alternatif dalam membantu menangani dampak pandemi yang sesuai dengan keadaan di era disruptif ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kebijakan dan strategi society 5.0 dalam proses pembelajaran sebagai upaya penanganan dampak pandemi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian tinjauan sistematis terhadap literatur yang diterbitkan oleh jurnal ilmiah pada periode Januari tahun 2010 hingga Desember 2021. Sumber yang digunakan berasal dari jurnal-jurnal yang sudah dipublikasikan terkait dengan topik yang dikaji dan dari berbagai media elektronik. Hasil penelitian dapat mengetahui strategi dalam proses pembelajaran dalam implementasi society 5.0 pada kebijakan di bidang pendidikan sebagai upaya menghadapi dampak pandemi covid-19.

In this chapter, I examine trends in today's news-orientated interfaces and the impact of digital interfaces on news consumption. Digital interfaces will be differentiated from traditional informational sources such as newspapers and television news. Additionally, I will explore several major characteristics or trends germane to today's news interfaces and their implications for how people consume news and, more generally, for how they transform information services: a) rapid innovation, b) interactivity, c) social, d) standardization, e) scale, f) media convergence and, g) the Internet of Things and Big Data.
