<p>Artwork counterfeiting is a wide problem in the art market, both for private subject and museums. For this reason, it is important introducing innovative authentication solutions, based on state-of-the-art technologies. In particular, in this paper, the proposed solution is based on a mobile architecture, starting from the consideration that nowadays mobile phones include quality photo and video cameras, access to wireless networks and the internet, GPS assistance and other innovative systems. The proposed solution uses smartphones as simple, robust and efficient sensor for artworks authentication. When we buy an artwork object, the seller issues a certificate of authenticity, which contains specific details about the artwork itself. Unscrupulous sellers can duplicate the classic certificates of authenticity, and then use them to “authenticate” non-genuine works of art. In this way, the buyer will have a copy of an original certificate to attest that the “not original artwork” is an original one. A solution for this problem would be to insert a system that links together the certificate and the related specific artwork. To do this it is necessary, for a single artwork, to find unique, unrepeatable, and unchangeable characteristics. In this article we propose an innovative and not-invasive method for the authentication of artworks based on random intrinsic object characteristics. This approach is based on biometry paradigm (analogue fingerprinting). The paper present a stand-alone solution, and an internet-based one, necessary for granting security verification also in case of problem with the used RFID tag. The proposed method uses an RFID Tag and a 2D barcode, in conjunction with an Internet-based Authentication Archive.</p>

In this present state-of-the-art, Internet of Things (IOT) is an emerging technology that is making our world smarter. WiFi enabled greenhouse monitoring is an intelligent system which is based on several sensors that monitor various changes in temperature, gas concentrations, light and soil moisture in the greenhouse. This comes with an added advantage or provision of linking all these sensors to your mobile phones or computers/laptops using Wi-Fi and internet services through the concept of Internet of Things (IoT), so that if there are any fluctuations, you will be notified immediately. This provides convenient control, through manual operations if necessary, of the greenhouse anytime and anywhere as long as the device is connected to the internet. In this an artificial environment is created so that the crops yield more crops per square meter compared to open field cultivation since the micro climatic parameters that determine crop yield are continuously examined and controlled to ensure that an optimum environment is created.

"Local" consumption of art projects and motivation of the "local" consumers The purpose of the article. Research and analysis of consumer motivations of fine arts products, based on algorithms of marketing technologies. The research methodology is to apply comparative, empirical, and theoretical methods. This methodological approach allows us to analyze the motivations of consumers of works of art who prefer to be fascinated by fine arts through the Internet, social networks, television programs, followed by the use of research results in marketing processes to promote works of art in the art market. The scientific novelty lies in the expansion of ideas about the motivation of consumers of the market of fine arts on the Internet, television programs, and in the study of further marketing processes in the art market. The article analyzes the algorithms of marketing technologies in the analysis of motivations for "home" consumption of products of the fine arts market. The article finds that in art marketing it is relevant and necessary to study the behavior of Internet consumers of works of art, analyzing the situation of "home" consumption of works of art. In art marketing, technologies for studying and analyzing the motivations of Internet consumers of works of art in promoting an art product on the art market are gradually being developed. Analysis of the motivations of Internet consumers of art markets makes it possible to more objectively segment the participants of market relations. Conclusions. The article identifies and analyzes the model of "home" online consumption of fine arts, as well as art projects, and, accordingly, describes the segment of online consumers of works of art at home using television, the Internet, and other means of communication. It is also proved that the behavior of the "home" consumer in art marketing is determined by three mandatory components: Individual - Product - Situation. It is on these components that the types of motivation are formed, on which the model of consumption and consumer behavior is built. Thus, we have studied Individuals who consume works of art and art projects, which in turn are Products presented in the form of printed or electronic images, and we have studied Situations of "home" consumption of works of art and art projects. Keywords: art market, marketing research, relationships of marketing, motivation of consumers of works of art, art projects, "home" consumption of works of art, behavior of consumers of art market.

Mobile phones have become so ubiquitous that they turned into an important part of our life. According to Parsons, mobile subscriptions exceed 6 billion subscriptions globally. Similarly, Ipsos and Verizon (as cited in Tan & El-Bendary) found out that adopting mobile phones with smart technologies has increased fast which also coincided with a more utilization of their Internet capabilities. With the abundance of knowledge the Internet provides, mobile phones become an invaluable pathway for that knowledge. The fact that these gadgets are well-liked by students make them one of the best tools to be adopted by educational institutions. This study will investigate the actual academic use of mobile phones among students and teachers, their attitudes toward using them as learning or teaching tools, and if there is a significant difference in attitudes of the participants toward using mobile as learning or teaching tools based on the job criteria (Student vs. Faculty Member).

The Internet Of Things

Latency-sensitive applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) often require performance guarantees that contemporary wireless networks fail to offer. Application scenarios involving real-time control of industrial machinery, robotics, or delay-sensitive actuation therefore typically still rely on cables: today's wireless networks cannot deliver messages in a sufficiently small and predictable amount of time. Drop-in wireless replacements for these cabled systems would nevertheless provide great benefit by eliminating the high cost and complexity associated with running cables in harsh industrial environments [1]. The symbolsynchronous bus, introduced in this article and embodied in a platform called Zero-Wire, is a novel wireless networking paradigm that addresses this gap. Using concurrent optical transmissions, it strives to bring low-latency deterministic networking to the wireless IoT.

The Relationship

Purpose The increased adoption of internet-enabled phones in Africa has caused much speculation and optimism concerning its effects on financial inclusion. Policymakers, the media and various studies have all flaunted the potentials of internet and mobile phones for financial inclusion. An important question therefore is “Can the internet and mobile phones spur the inclusion of the financially excluded poor? This study therefore aims to examine the relationship and causality between internet, mobile phones and financial inclusion in Africa for the 2000-2016 period. Design/methodology/approach The empirical analysis followed these three steps: examination of the stationarity of the variables; testing for the cointegration; and evaluation of the effects of the internet and mobile phones on financial inclusion in Africa for the 2000-2016 period using three outcomes of panel FMOLS approach and Granger causality tests. Findings The empirical evidence shows that internet and mobile phones have significant positive relationship with financial inclusion, meaning that rising levels of internet and mobile phones are associated with increased financial inclusion. There is also uni-directional causality from internet and mobile phones to financial inclusion, implying that internet and mobile phones cause financial inclusion. The study also shows that macroeconomic factors such as capital formation, primary enrollment, bank credit, broad money, population growth, remittances, agriculture and interest rate, as well as institutional factors such as regulatory quality are important underlying factors for financial inclusion in Africa. Originality/value In the literature, there is a dearth of research on the internet, mobile phones and financial inclusion, especially in Africa. Most of the related studies are conceptual and micro-based, with little empirical attention to the relationship and causality between internet, mobile phones and financial inclusion. In fact, this dearth of rigorous empirical studies has been attributed as the main cause of inadequate policy guidance in enhancing information communication technologies (Roycroft and Anantho, 2003), despite saturation levels in developed economies. This study fills the gap by evaluating the effects of the Internet and mobile phones on financial inclusion for 44 African countries for the 2000-2016 period.
