Abstract:
A significant amount of evidence has emerged to demonstrate that the so called gnostic gospels of the Roman period were written utilizing a cypher. In other words, they contain literal historical messages that can not be understood without applying a code to the text. The implications of this discovery are vast and significant. In order to demonstrate this cypher I will be using the texts from the Nag Hammed Library. A large collection of gnostic gospels was discovered in 1945 near the Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi, and I will be using these texts in this analysis. The Gnostic gospels contain dozens of parables and stories, most of which make little to no sense. This is because the documents were written in a way that obscures the messages they contain. The nomadic tribal nations surrounding the Roman Empire had devised a way of communicating so that the leadership of the empires they were targeting would not be able to decipher their plans. The Gnostic gospels relinquish their hidden messages with the application of a simple code. Throughout the Gnostic gospels the authors use a variety of opposite paired terms like Heaven and Earth, Above and Below, Light and Dark, or Immortal and Mortal. The key to deciphering the Gnostic code is to recognize that all of the opposites referred to the same nomadic tribal nation/Roman Empire divide. Any reference to Heaven, God, Father, Light, referred to the nomadic tribal nations while references to the Earth, World, Abyss, Chaos, or Mortal realm referred to the Roman Empire or agriculturalists in general. Along with these terms, concepts with natural dichotomies such as Summer and Winter, Right and Left, Above and Below

Abstract:
The MA paper focuses on the problem of the genre of Dan Brown’s novel The Da Vinci Code. In the paper various concepts of the literary genre, especially the novel, in modern literary theory are presented and reviewed. All theories of the novel distinguish the following main genre constituents: plot, setting, character, thematic range, the narrator and point of view, intertextuality, and others. The analysis reveals that there are four subplots, apart from the main plot line; at some crucial moments, or in most dramatic scenes, the plotlines crisscross or merge. Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu are the protagonists of the novel; the Teacher-Teabing and Silas are the villains; and the minor characters are: Bezu Fache, Bishop Aringarosa, and others. The protagonists and the villains are psychological characters. The novel deals with a number of problems: love and family – the main problem is Christ’s marriage of Mary Magdalene and their posterity; the problem has been supposedly hidden in Leonardo da Vinci’s works, especially the fresco “The Last Supper”; the theme of art, the conflict between science and religion, etc. The research discovers that there is a fusion of several generic forms in The Da Vinci Code. It also shows that the novel can be placed in traditional and most recent literary culture.
Šis Deno Brauno romanas gali būti priskirtas daugiau nei vienam šiuolaikinės populiarios literatūros žanrui. Žanro teorijų apžvalga parodė, kad pati literatūrinio žanro sąvoka yra neryškiai apibrėžta, tačiau visos teorijos identifikuoja kelis žanrą formuojančius elementus – siužeto struktūra, veiksmo vieta ir laikas, charakteriai, plėtojamos temos (problemos), intertekstualumas ir kiti. Deno Brauno Da Vinčio kodas turi keleto klasikinės ir šiuolaikinės populiarios literatūros žanrų bruožų ir pilnai arba iš dalies atitinka tų žanrų reikalavimus. Siužeto analizė parodė, kad romanas parašytas pagal tradicinio detektyvo, arba trilerio schemą: romanas prasideda nuo žmogžudystės po kurios seka nužudytojo kuratoriaus mįslių išnarpliojimas ir tikrų nusikaltelių nubaudimas. Charakterių analizė atskleidė klasikinio detektyvo charakterių sistemą: kelios aukos, žudikas-įrankis, nusikaltimų organizatorius, detektyvai, policija. Nuolat pakartojama mintis apie Jėzaus Kristaus ir Marijos Magdalietės santuoką, bei romantiški romano herojų Roberto ir Sofi jausmai vienas kitam suteikia Da Vinčio kodui meilės romano žanro bruožų. Valdžios troškimo tema atskleista per vyskupo Aringarosos ir paslaptingojo Mokytojo charakterius, suteikia romanui trilerio bruožų ir paslaptingumo. Meno tema ir mįslės susijusios su Leonardo da Vinčio kūriniais, o taip pat aiškinami simboliai ir minimos slaptos draugijos suteikia romanui detektyvo, simbologinės ir sąmokslo literatūros bruožų.

Abstract:
This essay deals with the translation into Swedish of the ing-form in the popular novel The Da Vinci Code. The reason for looking at the -ing form is that it is a grammatical structure which is difficult to render in Swedish since there is no exact equivalent, at least not one which is used in the same manner as the English. The aim is to find out how the translator has dealt with the ing-form and also to find out whether there are any instances where the context has been altered due to the manner in which the translation has been carried out.

Abstract:
Syftet med uppsatsen är att visa på likheten mellan Dan Browns The Da Vinci Code och sagans struktur, aktörer och handling, samt att påvisa romanens didaktiska möjligheter. Utifrån Vladimir Propps sagoteori och Northrop Fryes arketyper och historiska kategorisering samt ett studium av populärromanens likheter med sagan utifrån Ulla Lundqvists undersökning görs en strukturalistisk analys. Vidare har en mindre enkätundersökning gjorts för att skapa en uppfattning om hur en grupp elever på en gymnasieskolan uppfattat romanens didaktiska möjligheter. Resultatet visar att The Da Vinci Code innehåller sagans struktur, med endast några få avvikelser från den kronologiska ordningen, samt att romanens aktörer överrensstämmer med Propps teori och Fryes arketyper. Handlingen uppvisar tydliga inslag från sagan, och överrensstämmer med de sagoelement som Lundqvists undersökning visar, så som exempelvis dualism, magi, i överförd bemärkelse, och ett lyckligt slut. Den didaktiska undersökningen visar att eleverna uppfattar att romanen, trots kritiken kring dess fiktion, kan bidra till att ge kunskaper i ämnen som historia, religion och språk.

Abstract:
This essay investigates why the Myth of the Holy Grail continue to occur within popular culture. Myths, tales and legends from ancient times have inspired authors throughout the centuries. The readers are not only served with a spectacular adventure, but the myths also contain messages with a moral and ethical guidance for us as beholders. This particular myth can be found within different media in our time and the essay will attempt to give some answers as to why the myth reappears in new forms over and over again. An analysis is performed by using the methodology of aesthetic reception within reception theory. The material chosen for the analysis is the work of art; The Da Vinci Code by author Dan Brown, where two different media forms will be represented, the novel and the film. The findings in the analysis revealed that the key to understanding the reasons for the occurrence of this medieval myth is the element of a quest that is present within the myth. This ingredient, where you embark on an adventure, will create feelings of excitement for the beholder. A second aspect found is that we as humans have an interest in our history. Therefore, myths and legends from our historical past will be naturally alluring for beholders and especially if they are linked to philosophical questions and ideas that can be applied to our modern society. The success that has followed The Da Vinci Code has its explanation in the fact that Brown has managed to make the myth of the Holy Grail more contemporary, the myth has then been rejuvenated. A suggestion for further research is to perform a study on beholders in focus group interviews in order to validate the findings in the analysis.

Abstract:
This essay investigates the characteristics of Robert Langdon and his female helpers in Dan Brown’s novels Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost symbol and Inferno.  In each of these novels, the quests are always solved by a male-female team. This essay is therefore going to focus on the character of Robert Langdon and his female helpers with the perspective of the Monomyth by Joseph Campbell. The protagonist Robert Langdon is a Harvard University professor specialised in religious iconology and symbology, but in these four novels he is thrown into breath-taking adventures with dangerous situations, however, with the help of several females he always manages to survive. The aim of this essay is to show how Langdon and his female helpers have the characteristics of a contemporary hero and helper, with the perspective of Campbell’s the Monomyth. Keywords: Character Analysis, Robert Langdon, Hero, Female Helper, the Monomyth, Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inferno.

Abstract:
Digital survey of the fortifications in PiombinoThis paper deals with the documentation and digital survey of fortifications in the historic city of Piombino. During the Renaissance the fortified perimeter of the city was considerably enlarged, both because of the will of the Lords of Piombino, the Appiani, to build a fortified citadel, deeming the previous urban palace inadequate for the ruling family, and to improve the defenses by land with the construction of a rivellino in front of the north door and of a fortress to the east. The defenses, conquered by Valentino’s troops in 1502, were redesigned by Leonardo da Vinci, as documented in the pages of Code II of Madrid, which contains drawings and calculations for the construction of the works. The present project, started in April 2018, plans to carry out an accurate digital survey of fortifications, in order to provide the basis for graphic documentation on which to base further cognitive investigations, from archaeological ones to diagnostic ones. The survey operations were carried out with today’s digital technologies, laser scanners and cameras, creating reliable point clouds and three-dimensional models mapped with texture, from which to extract 2D drawings. The study of the sources, of the texts of Leonardo’s scholars and accurate archaeological investigations will provide the opportunity to further analyze Leonardo’s intervention on the still existing structures.

Abstract:
Leonardo’s Walls. Surveys in 1502In the summer of 1502, Cesare Borgia appointed Leonardo da Vinci for his engineering expertise. His assignment was specific and concerning with military architecture: he was expected to “see, measure and do good estimation”. The Codex L, a small notebook conserved in the Library of the Institute of France, show the results of the survey of the city walls of Cesena and Urbino. The technique Leonardo adopted consists in traversing rectilinear stretches, measuring their length by means of an instrument able to count his steps and establishing their orientation by means of a compass. At the end of the path, the data relative to the sides of a closed polygon are obtained, resulting the geometric plan of the walls. This practice is testified by some residual eidotypes provided with quotas and orientations. In some cases, only the lists of distances in numbers are present, but the analysis of the figures makes it possible to reconstruct the surveyed plans, as Nando De Toni pioneered many years ago. This study focuses on the tools and the urban survey technique used by Leonardo. The analysis of some sheets from the Codex L, contextualized with respect to the actual topography of the sites, allows to understand the correct sequence of the operations carried out first in the site and then at the drawing board. By means of specific digital reconstructions, it is therefore possible to study the instrumental and operational limits of this practice and, by comparing it with the current state, to reconstruct the entire defensive structure.

Abstract:
Artificial intelligence has made great progress in many medical aspects such as diagnosis, medicine, and biotechnology, and it has also had an impact on surgical operations and reduced their cost. Accordingly, the study aimed to determine the impact of artificial intelligence in reducing the costs of surgeries. The study followed the descriptive approach by reviewing previous literature, studies, and research related to the topic. The results indicate that there is increasing competition in the surgical robotics market after years of monopolizing the da Vinci system. This competition encourages development and innovation in this field, which can lead to more advanced and cost-effective options. In addition, the new surgical robots come with technological improvements aimed at reducing the cost of surgery and increasing efficiency. Open consoles, lighter tools, and greater portability are part of these improvements. The results indicate that the new devices can reduce the cost of robotic surgery to be comparable to that of laparoscopy. Despite the large upfront costs of the hardware, an approach to offering comprehensive cost models could make bots attractive for expanded use. The study recommended that embedding applied examples from actual studies or clinical trials to illustrate the benefits and challenges would be useful to the reader, invest more efforts in research and innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, training and mentoring of surgeons, conducting continuous evaluations of the effectiveness achieved by artificial intelligence, providing infrastructure support, and finally, Providing comprehensive cost models that include long-term benefits to achieve greater investment attraction in this field

Abstract:
As Ken Robinson noted, "children starting school this year will be retiring in 2065". How many of today's "professions for the future" will still exist in 2025? We don't know. We don't know how the future will look like, yet we claim to educate our children to face its challenges. Under these circumstances, an important ethical question raises: "to what extent the modern School really fulfills its mission to prepare the students for the future?" In our opinion, the main risk of the modern education is to create people that are unable to keep pace with the fast changing world where they live in. In this paper, we argue that a systematic education for creativity appears to be the only solution to provide our students with the minimal tools to cope with the uncertainties of the future. And we suggest that an open access e-learning platform dedicated to teaching creativity might be the most efficient way to solve this problem on a large scale. However, this is not an easy task. In this paper, we describe some of the challenges we face in the implementation of the Leonardo da Vinci project "TECRINO - Teaching creativity in engineering", whose main objective is to develop the appropriate educational content and to setup a Moodle platform for teaching creativity. Among these challenges, we count the fuzzyness of the definition of some essential concepts like "creative thinking skills" , and the lack of simple and easy to use creativity assessment tools. We believe that the modest attainment reported here is the essential firt step on the long road of a systematic education for creativity.

Abstract:
Paper presents the main objectives and the methodology of an educational European Leonardo da Vinci project called "Launching of Sector Skills Alliance for Training & Apprenticeship of Health Care and Food Supplements Salespersons" (H-CARE). The H-CARE project uses advanced e-learning technologies to provide a platform-independent prototype for training and apprenticeship in the area of health care and food supplements. The project focuses on the main items of the management cicle: project planning, team building, transnational cooperation, evaluation, dissemination and exploitation. Following such approach, the project work programme consists of 9 work packages, which are autonomous but strictly linked to each other in order to give continuity to the project process. In order to get maximum benefit from partners' expertise, competencies and specific characteristic, partners will have different activities inside each work package, being, in rotation "core" and "supporter" to the partnership. The project is totally in line with the Lisbon Convention objectives that clearly state education systems must be modernised to make Europe a world leader in the quality of its education & training systems. The H-CARE project provides a totally new approach on how to provide training support, by not only making use of them, but also training of people, seeking professional career in Health sector to become experts and to acquire a completely new qualification "Health care and food supplement salesperson". The current situation of the European labour market requires qualified work force, which is able to respond to the needs of new professions and job profiles, which will create an added value in provisions of services in health sector. In long term period the project will provide a solid base for further development training curriculum for prequalification in the vocational profile in question. Furthermore the universities themselves will be able to straighten their links to the business sector through introduction of innovative training curriculum (the proposed curriculum for "Health care and food supplement salesperson").This will respond to the demand of well qualified staff, eager to contribute to the prosperity of the companies, as soon as they are employed. On the other hand the companies from the Health sector will save a significant amount of money and other resource in order to improve the quality of recently hired personnel. The project is also in line with the Europe 2020 strategy that calls for economic growth based on a smart, sustainable and inclusive model. The project offers exactly new skills for new jobs, providing opportunities for the inclusion of unemployed or low paid people in the EU job market. In European context the project will be sustained by establishment of informal networks, which will bring together sector organizations, interested to introduce, adapt and mainstream the new job core profile in the practices of the companies from the Health Sector.

Abstract:
A great step in the development of science was the conformation in the 16th Century of the Scientific Method. The way was paved by the artists of the Renaissance, including Leonardo Da Vinci with his inventions, and the new look at nature and knowledge. Keystones for an experimental, inductive approach, were posted by Andreas Vesalius, Francis Bacon and Galileo Galilei, who emphasized the value of empirical research and experimental evidence to test theoretical models. Galileo was the one who said ´Measure whatever is measurable and make it measurable what is not’. Scientific research has two main courses of development that have to complement each other to make a real scientific discovery: one is the theoretical modelling of phenomena and the other the experimental analysis of the same phenomena. Among them, there are combinations and interactions. Logic and mathematics are the main tools for the theoretical analysis and measurement for the experimental work. Actually, measurement science is what connects the experimental world with the theoretical one, since every number that goes into an equation should, preferably, come from reality through measurements, or goes to reality for its demonstration. It is still surprising that some universities are not aware of the role that metrology could play for the advancement of their disciplines. In many postgraduate programs metrology is poorly understood or believed to be something that could add little or nothing to the value of their research. Convinced of the opposite, a program has been launched at the PhD Engineering Program of the Autonomus University of Queretaro, Mexico, to bring formal metrology into the research projects of the students. For two years a Workshop called ´The role of measurement in the research process’ has been run with very good results. The workshop does not intend to force metrology into the research project of the postgraduate students. Rather, it helps them to understand the role of empirical data and experiments in their projects, and the role of metrology to evaluate certainty about the data relevant for them. From that, metrology follows. In two and a half years there have been 5 courses of 6 months and 20 projects. All have been in engineering with different subdisciplines, from mechanics, electronics and radiofrequency, to agriculture, life sciences and prosthesis design. Only 4 of these projects were purely theoretical work and, even then, the workshop showed the students criteria to judge the data they put into their models. The other 16 projects have significantly benefited from the workshop, since they have relevant components of experimental work. The paper will show the objectives, methods and materials used for the workshop, as well as some of the very interesting results of the first two years of the program.
