Introduction to the Research and Investigation of Crime during the COVID-19 Epidemic in Slovenia

The article presents an introductory reflection on the COVID-19 epidemic, registered crime and police work in the field of crime investigation, especially during the first wave of the epidemic in the spring of 2020 in Slovenia as compared to the previous year. First, an analysis of recorded crime for the first nine months (January–September) of 2019 and 2020 is presented, followed by comparing the same period in the first wave of the epidemic from March to May 2020. Governmental measures for curbing the epidemic are also presented. The comparisons show that most recorded crimes decreased in Slovenia during the first wave of the epidemic in 2020 and the first nine months of 2020. We also present the opinions of the heads of criminal investigation sectors at the Criminal Police Directorate on the incidence and nature of criminal offences during the epidemic and the criminal police responses. The findings indicate the need for additional victimisation and self-reporting studies of delinquency, which could be a qualitative supplement to the official statistical data on recorded crime during the COVID-19 epidemic in Slovenia.
Soft Multicopter Control Using Neural Dynamics Identification

Dynamic control of a soft-body robot to deliver complex behaviors with low-dimensional actuation inputs is challenging. In this paper, we present a computational approach to automatically generate versatile, underactuated control policies that drives soft-bodied machines with complicated structures and nonlinear dynamics. Our target application is focused on the autonomous control of a soft multicopter, featured by its elastic material components, non-conventional shapes, and asymmetric rotor layouts, to precisely deliver compliant deformation and agile locomotion. The central piece of our approach lies in a lightweight neural surrogate model to identify and predict the temporal evolution of a set of geometric variables characterizing an elastic soft body. This physics-based learning model is further integrated into a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control loop enhanced by a novel online fixed-point relinearization scheme to accommodate the dynamic body balance, allowing an aggressive reduction of the computational overhead caused by the conventional full-scale sensing-simulation-control workflow. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach by generating controllers for a broad spectrum of customized soft multicopter designs and testing them in a high-fidelity physics simulation environment. The control algorithm enables the multicopters to perform a variety of tasks, including hovering, trajectory tracking, cruising and active deforming.

development of academic mobility among the students of universities

In this article, the concept of "academic mobility" is considered in the framework of internationalization of higher education as a process of moving participants (students and teachers) of higher education from one academic and educational institution to another to exchange experiences and obtain additional educational opportunities for a limited period of time or temporary study. Particular attention is paid to student mobility, which is represented by both internal and external movement of students from one country to another, between regions of the world, or within a region. Information is presented to illustrate the dynamics of changes in the quantitative characteristics of international mobility in the context of a country. Attention is paid to the factors influencing the academic mobility of undergraduate and graduate students. The study uses statistical, analytical, and sociological methods. The study reveals the types of academic mobility preferred by university students. A comparative analysis of undergraduate and graduate students' attitudes toward various forms of academic mobility is presented. Comparing the ratio of students living in student dormitories and students living in families. It turned out that students living in dormitories tend to take a more active part in academic mobility programs.

Für effiziente und sichere industrielle Produktion/MagnOtrop – Three-dimensional magnet-field-based object and motion tracking

Im Umfeld von Industrie 4.0 halten die modernen Informationstechnologien immer stärker Einzug. Dabei sind Schlüsseltechnologien wie zum Beispiel künstliche Intelligenz (KI) oder Artificial Reality (AR) für sich allein genommen im industriellen Praxiseinsatz nur sehr bedingt verwendbar. Den Schlüssel zum Erfolg liefert vielmehr die Vernetzung dieser modernen Technologien sowohl untereinander als auch mit dem humanen Bedienpersonal durch Algorithmen und Systeme zur Mensch-Maschine-Kollaboration (MMK). &amp;nbsp; In modern times of Industry 4.0 innovative technologies become more and more important, but key-technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial Reality (AR) need to be combined in the practical field of human working processes. The key to success is delivered by Man-Machine-Collaboration (MMC) algorithms and systems.

Visual Systems for Sonic Form and Energy

Author(s): Haywood, Kevin Matthew | Advisor(s): Puckette, Miller S | Abstract: Absent the complex and nuanced modes of activation inherent to the vibrational systems of acoustic instruments, electronic musical systems begin with a foundational need for expressive control of their sound processes. This dissertation examines the role of the control layer in structuring synthesis and articulating the myriad dynamic processes which are used for the sculpting of sounds in time. It evaluates elements of the control layer in terms of characteristic behaviors that they can bestow upon sound parameters, and explores the utility of defining higher-level control systems which are capable of behaviors that would be difficult to achieve otherwise. Several new musical systems are created which showcase how diverse methods of screen-based visualization can provide conceptual and parametric structure for these systems.This is demonstrated in Chapter 2 through the design of amalgamated systems for generating musical form that draw from traditional electronic methods, but are presented as contrasting visuospatial relationships which reveal useful sonic relationships. The control systems presented in Chapter 3 are modeled on physical properties related to change in the real world: the accumulation and dissipation of energy over time, and characteristics of motion and inertia. It’s shown how simple, physically-inspired approaches can build upon our innate understanding of real world environments, allowing us to design systems and interactions which feel metaphorically familiar, and contribute similarly to the musical behaviors that they evoke. Visual methods are thus exemplified as uniquely conducive to the conceptualization and realization of expressive musical systems.
Making a flat screen work when you can't use the dome

NOVA—The Netherlands Research School for Astronomy—coordinates a group of three inflatable mobile planetariums that visit around 200 primary and secondary schools per year (approximately 30,000 students/year). After an initial stop in activities (March-June 2020) due to the COVID-19 crisis, NOVA has invested in a high quality screen in order to resume planetarium operations safely during the pandemic. The same interactive shows as present-ed in the dome are now given in a large, darkened room projected onto a flat screen with students sitting on cushions in a close group (current Dutch regulations allow close contact between children under the age of 18). A test of this COVID-19-safe “mobile planetar-ium” at a summer school for primary school children (ages 7-11; 180 students; 20 teachers) was highly successful. The evaluation showed that all participants found the experience to be highly inspi-rational. The expert presenters felt that the setup with the screen enhanced the interaction between the presenter and the students.
Load Balancing Algorithms and Simulation Tools in Cloud Environment

Cloud Computing offers on-demand availability of remote computing resources and services like infrastructure, storage, applications and platform to the users based on pay-per-use model. Selection of appropriate service broker policy by the service broker to select the cost-effective data center, and selection of suitable load balancing algorithm to allocate virtual machines for the execution of user task both are very important, as it decides the overall cost, processing time and response time. Deploying and testing algorithms and policy in real cloud environment is very costly, simulation toolkit like CloudAnalyst, CloudSim and others are used to model, analyze and simulate cloud computing services. This paper describes various service broker policies, load balancing policies, Load balancing algorithms and Simulation tools of cloud computing.

Shift If You Can: Counting and Visualising Correction Operations for Beat Tracking Evaluation

In this late-breaking abstract we propose a modified approach for beat tracking evaluation which poses the problem in terms of the effort required to transform a sequence of beat detections such that they maximise the well-known F-measure calculation when compared to a sequence of ground truth annotations. Central to our approach is the inclusion of a shifting operation conducted over an additional, larger, tolerance window, which can substitute the combination of insertions and deletions. We describe a straightforward calculation of annotation efficiency and combine this with an informative visualisation which can be of use for the qualitative evaluation of beat tracking systems. We make our implementation and visualisation code freely available in a GitHub repository.

Scaffolding for learning from reinforcement: Improving interaction learning

This thesis analyses the psychological concept of “scaffolding” as a candidate for being able to facilitate the learning process not only of human learners but also of artificial agents. The original concept employs a range of techniques to improve the learning process of novices by analysing their current skill level, adjusts the task’s complexity, directs their attention and provides temporary support. By transferring these methods to the field of machine learning and proposing scaffolding as a general principle for guiding the learning process of an artificial agent, this work demonstrates that the learning performance can be improved significantly and even enables the learning of new skills that would otherwise be impossible. First, the relations of the individual key aspects of this psychological theory to historical and recent findings in the field of machine learning are discussed. Second, a suitable refined definition of “scaffolding for machine learning” is put forward by positioning scaffolding as a special form of meta-learning that is inspired by psychology. As a result, four different scaffolds for reinforcement learning agents are designed for supporting different parts of the learning process by facilitating efficient acting, perception or pre-learning of sub-skills. In the final analysis, their positive impact is demonstrated by testing these supportive approaches on selected interaction problems.
Towards a Formal Approach for Data Minimization in Programs [in press]

As more and more processes are digitized, the protection of personal data becomes increasingly important for individuals, agencies, companies, and society in general. One principle of data protection is data minimization, which limits the processing and storage of personal data to the minimum necessary for the defined purpose. To adhere to this principle, an analysis of what data are needed by a piece of software is required. In this paper, we present an idea for a program analysis which connects data minimization with secure information flow to assess which personal data are required by a program: A program is decomposed into two programs. The first projects the original input, keeping only the minimal amount of required data. The second computes the original output from the projected input. Thus, we achieve a program variant which is compliant with data minimization. We define the approach, show how it can be used for different scenarios, and give examples for how to compute such a decomposition.
Domesticity and digital eugenics : design cultures of Silicon Valley

The paper attempts to make sense of the two more recent areas of interest of Silicon Valley’s ‘gang of four’: Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Facebook. The last few years have seen this group of four turning their attention to the development of ‘smart’ ecologies with a focus on automation and the development of a 'house of tomorrow'. More recently, reports have emerged of increasing interest in biotechnologies and Synthetic Biology start-ups. Interest in these two areas are commonly interpreted as the logical consequence of the need to find new profitable markets. We suggest, instead, that modification of the human body is central to understanding these corporate actions. We use the notion of eugenics as an interpretative framework to understand these new areas of expansion, suggesting the creation of a hegemonic culture gestated by digital technologies.

Pattern Matching over Encrypted Data with a Short Ciphertext

In this paper, we propose a new searchable encryption with shiftable trapdoor (SEST) scheme to enable pattern matching over encrypted data. In the proposed scheme, data is encrypted per character and the trapdoor for searching can be shifted. This implies that the trapdoor can be created over any string, which is not necessarily pre-defined. Also, it does not require any additional data tokenization method, which will expand the ciphertext size. As ciphertext size increases with the size of data, it is imperative to reduce ciphertext size in the SEST scheme as the matching operation requires expensive pairing computations proportional to the ciphertext length. Our work reduces the ciphertext size by up to 50% of the state-of-art scheme in this research domain while maintaining the same level of search efficiency.
How Affordances of Immersive Visualization Systems Affect Learning Outcomes Through Aesthetic Experience

Virtual reality has received attention as an environment for learning, yet little is known about the effectiveness of bringing the immersive visualization systems into the university classrooms. Building upon prior literature on immersive technology and the theory of affordance, we develop a model investigating how the features afforded by an immersive visualization system escalate users’ engagement, which in turn increases their learning outcomes. We will test the model with undergraduate students who have experienced with an immersive visualization system in the classroom setting. We believe that our work will enrich the existing literature on virtual reality in education and provide insight into the design of immersive representations and the structure ofimmersive learning paradigm.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) (1992), fire as the events contained in the air oxidation and heat which may result causing property damage or human injury or even death. A fire could occur because of three interrelated elements, namely fuel, ignition source (heat or flame) and oxygen.Fire is one of the risks caused by the flames both small and large in place, situation and time undesired detrimental and generally difficult to control. Fires can occur in cruise ship activity. When viewed from a fire in the Motor Vessel Passenger very varied. Starting from the fire on the car deck, the deck passengers, the engine room to the bridge. A number of fires in ship Motor Vessel Passenger dominated by fire in the engine room and car decks.Fire suppression using sprinkler is one method that has been used and it can be said that this method is effective in fighting the fire. Sprinkler itself can be interpreted as a measure of a molecule. Sprinkler size is very small as grains of rain. The workings of this type of fire extinguisher is when there is a fire in the room that has been installed with this system, the indoor burning will automatically increase the indoor air temperature, the high temperature causes the potential illuminated on other components. Temperatures in the system has been installed and will work automatically at that temperature. When a fire is lit on components near a sprinkler system, it caused the high temperatures existing sensors on sprinkler. The sensor is automatically connected to the sprinkler and water out.Keywords : Fire Protection, Sprinkler System
