Nowadays, cultural heritage has been preserved digitally more than physically. However, most of the research works have been focusing more on preservation of video elements even though preservation of audio is equally important. In this paper, the possibilities of generating different sounds in an acoustical heritage through the modulations of sound characteristics are explored on mobile devices. The modulations of the amplitude are based on tiles. In the proposed method, the user uses the one-tap gesture to initiate the start of sound changes on the physical interface of an immersive panoramic view on mobile platform by altering the amplitude of recorded audio piece and consequently producing different audible results. User interactions happen along the x and y-axes following the standard iOS system coordinate. This paper also demonstrates the programming method based on tiles and direct modulations of acoustical heritage in panoramic view with the interaction of the users in order to provide enhanced sensorial audio experience and acoustical engagement in action space on mobile platform. The result of the evaluation has shown that the volume playback has different amplitudes from the different coordinates that the users have tapped on.

Cylindrical panoramic view is a 360-degrees horizontal representation of a certain scene. The user can navigate interactively through the scene and change their view angles. Basically, panoramic views are often high-resolution, high-definition and consume a significant amount of bandwidth for transmission through Internet in mobile platform. In this paper, a method is proposed by combining a proposed tile-based algorithm with scrollViewDidScroll protocol of the iOS platform. With the tile-based algorithm, the panoramic views are divided into tiles and only tiles of interest are viewed on the mobile screen. Besides, the scrollViewDidScroll protocol of the iOS platform is used to link back the end of panoramic view with the start of the panoramic view to produce a cylindrical panoramic view. From here, the user can view the same output as panoramic views on a mobile device but using limited bandwidth, memory, and number of processors. Based on the evaluation, the respondents gave favorable response to the method.

Mobile equipment has now become a new platform for information exchange, spend a lot of information exchange, how to effectively protect the mobile platform information security? Research has shown that, EEG signal can be used as identification tool, the user's information protection and good, this paper to protect the information security of mobile devices to research how to use EEG; the EEG signal is feasible for mobile equipment identification.

All tangible and intangible elements of cultural heritage that the past has conceded to local communities create unique landscapes shaped by tightly connected anthropogenic and natural factors. This heritage is a keystone of local identity which plays a significant role in politics, economic development, society and world view. In some regions, such as in the Vistula delta in Poland, the cultural heritage has been created by consecutive groups of settlers who represented different values, beliefs and ways of life. On the one hand, such a rich heritage may be perceived as a valuable asset and become a landmark or tourism product of a region. On the other hand, it may be perceived as alien and unwanted by contemporary residents, especially when they are not descendants of the former communities. The main objective of the study presented herein is to analyse how the residents of the Vistula delta region, called Żuławy Wiślane, perceive and use cultural heritage of the Mennonites, representing the most extraordinary group of settlers who used to live in the region. The analysis covers original data gathered during survey research in the period of 2017–2018 under the project Miniatura I “Perception and usage of cultural heritage of the Vistula delta Mennonites” financed by the National Science Centre in Poland.

<p>The paper discusses the results of a study which explored advanced learners of English engagement with their mobile devices to develop learning experiences that meet their needs and goals as foreign language learners. The data were collected from 20 students by means of a semi-structured interview. The gathered data were subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results of the study demonstrated that, on the one hand, some subjects manifested heightened awareness relating to the advantageous role of mobile devices in their learning endeavors, their ability to reach for suitable tools and retrieve necessary information so as to achieve their goals, meet their needs and adjust their learning of English to their personal learning styles, and on the other, a rather intuitive and/or ad hoc use of their mobile devices in the classroom.</p>

<p align="center"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p><em>            In order to provide the protection to the “traditional batik art knowledge” in Tirtomoyo, Wonogiri, the local government policy rests on the </em><em>potensial of art, commerce, services, education, tourism and sports</em><em>.Here, it can be drawn the real purpose, that is to develop, to conserve, and to protect the traditional knowledge as the heritage and cultural expression, especially the traditional knowledge. I</em><em>n th</em><em>is</em><em> case</em><em>, the Intellectual Property Right protection and its all varieties should be applied on the traditional intellectual art. However, it has not yet manifested the regional regulation on the Intellectual Property Right, especially the protection to the traditional knowledge.         There has not been confirmation about what institutions will be responsible or what kind of agencies will be involved in providing the protection to the traditional knowledge, like the batik art, dance art, and others, so that they don’t seem loose accountability in handling it. The policy on the Intellectual Property Right, especially the one related to the traditional knowledge, is still partial or supplement. The Industry and Trade Department of Wonogiri regency, which handles the micro and medium industry field and is not related directly to the batik handicraft industry, has planned to make a program of batik handicraft industry as the regional superior. </em></p><strong><em>Key words: Intellectual Property Right, Traditional knowledge, Batik Art.</em></strong>

Smartphones were gradually gaining popularity, so as to effectively replace traditional telephones. Devices creates many capabilities, but they can be a source of threats. In this article analyzed Android system security. Author checked what threats lurk for mobile devices and how the Android system tries to protect them. The questionnaire survey checked how the phone screens are blocked and how often changes are made to the blockade. To check if the screen lock can be removed, tests were performed using Google to find the device, as well as Fone. A summary of results was presented and conclusions were drawn.


Existence of a heritage / historical structure is the one that adds meaning to urban or rural space. The perceptual quality of the structure enhances the aesthetic sense to the settings or place. The aesthetic sense makes the place, a visual appealing entity with augment of identity. It develops a sign and symbol to the place. Without that, the meaning is lost, identity is destroyed and placelessness is formed. Urbanization and globalization always concentrate more on development, without understanding the basic meaning and cultural heritage of any built environment with its tangible and intangible aspects. This paper explores the ideas and thought process of the architects, urban design theorists, and psychologist in considering perceptual qualities of a structure and it turns in relation with the feature of a Dravidian style Rajagopuram that acts as an entrance gate way to a heritage precinct .
