This is an open access book. The 5th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTS AND DESIGN EDUCATION (ICADE) “Digital Media Literacy and Mastery of Post-pandemic in Arts and Design Education” BACKGROUND The past year has been one of enormous turbulence and upheaval where nobody has been left untouched by the impact of the global pandemic, even a great change has been forced upon artists and educators in their work creation process as well as learning and teaching practice. What and how artists and educators have thought and gone through to keep their field sustained should be disseminated as a mutual learning to enhance our awareness on arts and design sustainability and role during pandemic. ICADE 5 aims to bring together leading academic artists, arts and design researchers and scholars to exchange and share their notion, experiences, and research results on all aspects of Digital Media Literacy and Mastery in Arts and Design education during pandemic and its urgencies after pandemics. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for arts and design researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted which involves digital media literacy or mastery in the fields of Arts and Design education. The 5th International Conference on Arts and Design Education (ICADE) is a conference hosted by Faculty of Arts and Design Education Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. This conference will be held on September 22nd, 2022 through Zoom Webinar. ICADE has covered a broad range of topic on music, dance, drama, visual arts, visual communication design, arts education, film and television, and multidiciplinary arts fields. This conference scopes may pertain how artist, designer, or arts and design educators finally adapt and conquer digital media to support their work creation and studies activities during pandemic; attitude changes toward art and design works creation; best practice of art and design creation and studies during pandemic; sorts of digital media which might be left or continuously used after pandemic; what finally the digital media can't ever cover during pandemic even to this moment (post-pandemic); potential disruptive/constructive point of digital media use; as well as other substance where we spot a relation between a digital media with arts and design creation and studies.
Friction-stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process primarily used on aluminum, and is also widely used for joining dissimilar metals such as aluminum, magnesium, copper and ferrous alloys. Recently, a friction-stir processing (FSP) technique based on FSW has been used for microstructural modifications, the homogenized and refined microstructure along with the reduced porosity resulting in improved mechanical properties. Advances in friction-stir welding and processing deals with the processes involved in different metals and polymers, including their microstructural and mechanical properties, wear and corrosion behavior, heat flow, and simulation. The book is structured into ten chapters, covering applications of the technology; tool and welding design; material and heat flow; microstructural evolution; mechanical properties; corrosion behavior and wear properties. Later chapters cover mechanical alloying and FSP as a welding and casting repair technique; optimization and simulation of artificial neural networks; and FSW and FSP of polymers. - Provides studies of the microstructural, mechanical, corrosion and wear properties of friction-stir welded and processed materials - Considers heat generation, heat flow and material flow - Covers simulation of FSW/FSP and use of artificial neural network in FSW/FSP

The work is published in two volumes.
The field of computational intelligence has grown tremendously over that past five years, thanks to evolving soft computing and artificial intelligent methodologies, tools and techniques for envisaging the essence of intelligence embedded in real life observations. Consequently, scientists have been able to explain and understand real life processes and practices which previously often remain unexplored by virtue of their underlying imprecision, uncertainties and redundancies, and the unavailability of appropriate methods for describing the incompleteness and vagueness of information represented. With the advent of the field of computational intelligence, researchers are now able to explore and unearth the intelligence, otherwise insurmountable, embedded in the systems under consideration. Computational Intelligence is now not limited to only specific computational fields, it has made inroads in signal processing, smart manufacturing, predictive control, robot navigation, smart cities, and sensor design to name a few. Recent Trends in Computational Intelligence Enabled Research: Theoretical Foundations and Applications explores the use of this computational paradigm across a wide range of applied domains which handle meaningful information. Chapters investigate a broad spectrum of the applications of computational intelligence across different platforms and disciplines, expanding our knowledge base of various research initiatives in this direction. This volume aims to bring together researchers, engineers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry working in all major areas and interdisciplinary areas of computational intelligence, communication systems, computer networks, and soft computing. - Provides insights into the theory, algorithms, implementation, and application of computational intelligence techniques - Covers a wide range of applications of deep learning across various domains which are researching the applications of computational intelligence - Investigates novel techniques and reviews the state-of-the-art in the areas of machine learning, computer vision, soft computing techniques
