The main purpose of this paper is to describe how the construction of the project was carried out, which controls the entries and exits in the parking lot of vehicles "SMART PARKING" at the Public University "Kadri Zeka" in Gjilan, in the Republic of Kosovo. In fact, this paper deals with the digitalization of vehicle parking lots. This project uses hardware and software components for its realization. Hardware components operate according to software instructions executed according to a working program code within a closed and endless programming cycle. This automatic form of operation of a digital car park not only regulates the traffic inside the car park but also satisfies the drivers of the vehicles with information given in a display or monitor. The information refers to vacancies in the parking lot and informs the driver of the vehicle about whether or not he can park his vehicle by allowing or not allowing the opening of the barrier. On the other hand the system becomes even more sophisticated when at the entrance of the smart parking lot is placed the key for searching for the opening of the barrier which may not open if there are no free parking spaces. All of this is controlled by software written in the C ++ programming language, of course within the Arduino UNO programming environment. Therefore, the electronic-hardware devices used in this paper/project are directed by the relevant software placed in the memory of the microcontroller in the system "Smart Parking”. The reason for building this automatic vehicle parking system is to control and prevent the attempted parking of vehicles that would seriously impede the exit of previously parked vehicles in the parking lot of the Public University "Kadri Zeka" in the city of Gjilan, Republic of Kosovo.

Car parking is a major problem in urban areas in developed and also in developing countries. The growing number of vehicles creates a problem with parking spaces mainly in the city center and the surrounding streets. The local authorities have to react with regulations, and the current situation is unpleasant for many citizens. Therefore, the aim of this article is to propose a complex outdoor smart parking lot system based on the mini PC platform with the pilot implementation, which would provide a solution for the aforementioned problem. Current outdoor car park management is dependent on human personnel keeping track of the available parking lots or a sensor-based system that monitors the availability of each car. The proposed solution utilizes a modern IoT approach and technologies such as mini PC platform, sensors, and IQRF. When compared to a specialized and expensive system, it is a solution that is cost-effective and has the potential in its expansion and integration with other IoT services.

This article explores the insights of inclusivism and tolerance in Islamic religious education (PAI) textbooks in Brawijaya University (UB) Malang. This article is the result of research by reading textbooks, interviewing six PAI lecturers and focus group discussions (FGD) at UB Malang in December 2018. In general, there are many material aspects in the textbooks that encourage students to be open, respect for diversity and behave tolerant of different Islamic schools of thought. This is emphasized by the PAI lecturers since UB is a public university belong to the public and because in Islam itself there are many different understandings and schools of thought. The spirit of inclusivism, cosmopolitan and tolerance is seen explicitly in PAI UB’s textbooks and becomes the vision of PAI lecturers. If there is a deviation from the book tends to be a closed ideology, intolerant, and against the Republic of Indonesia, then it can be ascertained because of the “lecturer initiative” personally, and do not represent Lembaga Pusat Pembinaan Agama (the Central Institution of Religious Development).

This essay is informed by five different but interrelated conversations all focusing on the relationship between the city and the university. Suggesting the clown as metaphor, I explore the particular role of the activist scholar, and in particular the liberation theologian that is based at the public university, in his or her engagement with the city. Considering the shackles of the city of capital and its twin, the neoliberal university, on the one hand, and the city of vulnerability on the other, I then propose three clown-like postures of solidarity, mutuality and prophecy to resist the shackles of culture and to imagine and embody daring alternatives.

In this chapter I foreground an ecologically aware, ludic approach to crafting public art experiences, drawing primarily from interviews with four prominent Latin American artists. Conditions observable in the global South that influence these artworks include urban sprawl and shanty towns, electronics waste sites accumulating from the rapid production cycles of electronic hardware, and the environmental damage of natural habitats. My intent in this chapter is to offer a view into a field of public art production in Latin America where artists and critics have over the past few decades developed a sophisticated, yet inclusive visual, interactive, and playful dialogue with the public.

Through legislation and judicial decisions, the public administration (the city, first, and then the Empire) organized and regulated the activities of the various social groups. What was their impact on the complex world of banking and credit? After having briefly described how banking and financial life functioned in the Roman world, this chapter examines the way in which praetors and jurisconsults considered these activities, which legal rules they established, what were the effects of such rules, especially from the economic point of view, and how they developed from the first centuries of the Republic to the fourth century AD.

The sale of imported secondhand clothing is prohibited by the Government because it is in violation and not in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Regarding import trade, it is regulated in Article 47 paragraph (1) of Law Number 7 of 2014 concerning Trade. The imported secondhand clothing can be categorized as dangerous goods because it circulates freely and without prior checking. Based on the background of the problems that have been described, this research was conducted with the aim of outlining how the arrangements for the implementation of the sale of imported secondhand clothing in the City of Denpasar and how the implications of the sale of imported secondhand clothing for consumers in the City of Denpasar. This study was designed using an empirical research approach, in which this research was conducted according to the real situation in a community or the surrounding environment with the aim of finding facts or legal issues that exist. The results of this study indicated that the regulation of the sale of imported secondhand clothing is regulated in Article 2 of the Regulation of the Minister of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia Number 51/M-DAG/PER/7/2015 concerning Prohibition of Imported Secondhand Clothing, where the secondhand clothing is prohibited from being imported into the territory of the Unitary State Republic of Indonesia because it has an impact on people's health and economy. The implication of the sale of imported secondhand clothing is very detrimental to the community especially in terms of health and economics. The use of imported secondhand clothes can also cause diseases such as itching, tinea versicolor, flu, etc., due to microbial bacteria attached to the secondhand clothes. Therefore, there is a need for socialization regarding these rules to the public and sellers of imported secondhand clothing, as well as enforcement of the rules through Raids against container sheds that distribute imported secondhand clothing to sellers.

Roman Magistrates’ Activity in Protection of the Public RoadsSummaryThe article treats of the competences of the Roman magistrates responsible for the public roads. In the Republic the public roads, buildings, sewers and drains were the responsibility of the aediles and censors. They were helped by the quattuorviri viis in urbe purgandis and the duumviri viis extra urbem purgandis from some unknown date (probably Caesarian). The former were appointed only to the streets and roads in Rome, the latter outside the walls of the City. Occasionally, special commissioners were appointed.In the early Empire, when the censorship was effectively in desuetudeand the duumviri abolished by the emperor, it was mainly the aediles who had to deal with public roads as the part of their cura urbis. It was Augustus who initiated an important reform of the cura viarum. He established the curatores viarum to supervise the maintenance of the great trunk roads. It was a senatorial or equestrian office depending on the status of the road, at the beginning temporary, but later it converted into a regular office.In the provinces there were praeses provinciae or vicares who were in charge of the roads. In the municipia supervising the maintenance of the roads and streets belonged to the curia.Great number and variety of the offices supervising public roads in the Republic and the Principate confirm how important they were in the public life of Rome as well as in the private matter of individuals.

As a growing backlash against globalisation gathers momentum, internationally oriented public universities face a period of great unrest. In particular, they find themselves caught between the narrowing local agendas of their public funders and the global outlook of their researchers and students. We suggest that an economic geography lens provides a powerful perspective for how universities might navigate these tensions. Specifically, we show how local-global tensions can be managed through strategies engaged at the city and regional level. Our contribution seeks to inform current debates in the higher education sector and bring economic geography more centrally into public discourse on this topic.

Finding a parking space in a city is one of the most common activities of a driver. This becomes more difficult when the city is unknown or has huge vehicular congestion. A solution to address this issue is called smart parking. Smart parking solutions rely on Internet of Things (IoT) and several technologies to achieve their purpose. This paper proposes an architecture for deploying a smart parking solution based on Long-Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) sensors, LoRaWAN and a cluster of Kubernetes. This approach provides an open architecture able to share information with other parties through a REST API interface. Likewise, it contains a mobile and a web application for user interaction. This solution provides an administration interface for managing parking lots. The user interface lets a user to find, view information, display available spaces and rate a parking lot in real time. This solution could be used as an application as service parking system. The proposed architecture is fully portable and scalable due to the use of Kubernetes.

The industrialization of the world, increase in population and mismanagement of the available parking space has resulted in parking problems. There is a need for an intelligent and reliable system which can be used for searching the unoccupied parking facility, to reduce the cost of leasing people and for better use of resources for car-park owners. This paper introduces an algorithm to increase the efficiency of the current smart-parking system. The main objective of this algorithm is helping users automatically to find an unoccupied parking lot with least cost based on a new performance metrics to calculate the parking cost. Considering the distance between the User and Parking, Distance between Parking and services area, Percent of free spaces in each car park and Cost of parking for a time t. Matlab software was used to compute the cost function and to save an optimal parking space upon a request by the user. The experimental results show that the proposed cost function helps improve the probability of optimal parking with least cost.
