We perform many seemingly simple tasks in our daily lives, from manipulating everyday objects to processing many thoughts, often at the same time. These are things most of us are able to manage without any great difficulties. However, the development of such skills has actually been built on an enormous amount of knowledge that has been stored unconsciously throughout our lives. These skills become second nature to us, but when it comes to trying to replicate these in mechanical objects – robots – it becomes clear that the development of these abilities is not simple at all. Professor Kensuke Harada, from the Graduate School of Engineering Science, at Osaka University, is focused on looking at the issues of motion planning, gripper design, human motion and machine learning. His ultimate goal is to realise a robot that can manipulate an object just like a human can.

The Covid-19 pandemic pushed the limits and limitations of all educational systems, teachers and students around the world. The solution adopted – distance, online teaching, learning and assessment – has proven to be of a longer duration than initially anticipated, to the frustration of students, parents, and teachers alike. Nonetheless, following a careful analysis of these processes over the last (two) semesters, surprising findings point out to the fact that the digital experience has brought forth, at least at the higher-education level, substantial positive outcomes that cannot be neglected. It has strengthened the digital skills that both students and teachers will need in a technology dominated future and has made the actors of the educational process aware of the constant need for an innovative look and creative approach toward sharing and assimilating the impressive amount of knowledge existent nowadays. The present article aims at discovering both the strengths and the weaknesses, the motivational factors and the technical difficulties that have characterized the recent online educational process; it also inquires to what extent this type of learning will be an integral part of our daily lives in the academia, once the on-site courses will be resumed.

As a historian engaged with musicology, it seems to me that the discipline is in its golden age. The royal road from the musical past to the musical present built in the first century or so of its academic existence no longer contains all the traffic. But thanks to the earlier efforts at disciplinary definition, musicologists share an enormous amount of knowledge, understand what colleagues are doing and are able to face the challenge of understanding music-making outside of the Western cultures from which the field of musicology – and ethnomusicology – emerged. Rarely has a discipline been so well equipped for the task of deconstructing itself. But deconstruction (of canons, grand narratives and the like) accompanies construction: musicology has built and expanded, adding on more sources and more methods rather than abandoning the old ones. Given this happy state, it seems worthwhile to reconsider some of the cultural work that writing about music did before the discipline cohered in the nineteenth century, so that we can consider from a longer perspective why people tried to ‘discipline’ musical knowledge in the first place.

The main problem in this research is the increase in cases of theft and robbery. This incident was caused by the busyness of everyone in their daily lives, so they forgot about the safety of their house. An Internet of Things (IoT) based home security system that utilizes a PIR sensor as a human motion detector and then sends a notification in the form of a notification via SMS or e-mail is one solution to overcome the problems that have been previously proposed in previous research. However, to further clarify the warning sent from the system, a home security system is needed that can attach an image to the notification. In this study, an IoT-based home security system was developed. The IoT security system being developed can automatically send a warning message by attaching an image when the PIR sensor detects human presence. The IoT system requires a Raspberry Pi as a microcontroller that is connected to the internet, a PIR sensor to detect human movement and a Pi Camera to win an image when there is an encounter with a human within the range of the PIR sensor. Experiments in this study show that the IoT system can automatically send warning messages via the Telegram application by attaching an image when the PIR sensor detects human presence in various light conditions with a distance of 0-5 meters and the speed of sending email alerts is influenced by the condition of the internet network connection and file size. images sent.

The surveys of the cultural heritage of the Swedish countryside have been carried out in accordance with different laws. This has led to a great specialisation of certain aspects of the cultural heritage, and the evaluation of them has always been a task for specialists. The same specialisation often has characterised the scientific research on ancient monuments, nature, etc. In general an enormous amount of knowledge has been gained, but the historic understanding of why the remains exist at all has never been given as much attention as their physical appearance. This has caused a major separation between the cultural heritage management and the nature conservation.
