Beliefs about ghosts among the Akan of Ghana: Discussion on a culture and language radio program in Ghana
Get PDFAs a thanatologist who specializes in mortuary beliefs and rites in Ghana, I frequently come across information on Akan cultural beliefs about ghosts, as well as individual or personal stories of ghost encounters. Yet, there has been virtually no academic inquiry into the topic. Between January and February 2015, I listened to four consecutive weekly radio programs focusing primarily on ghosts on a commercial radio station in Ghana. The programs were broadcast in Twi, the Akan lingua franca, which the author is fluent in. Following extensive discussions about Akan cultural beliefs regarding ghosts and other superhuman entities by the host and co-hosts of the program, listeners were invited to share their personal stories about ghost sightings and other encounters with ghosts. The current article presents a narrative of the discussion that occurred on the four featured programs. The data show that Akans of Ghana maintain a strong cultural belief in ghosts. Several listeners shared with the host and listeners their personal encounters with ghosts and ghost activities

Design and implementation the stability and direction of hexapod robot motion
Get PDFRobotics technology has developed rapidly and applied to various fields of work that cannot be done by humans. Many forms and types of robots used include the hexapod robot. The purpose of this research is to regulate the direction of the hexapod robot’s motion and be able to avoid obstacles to maintain the stability of its motion using a PID control system. In establishing a good control system, various types of sensors are used, those are ultrasonic and inertial measurement unit sensors. The shape of the hexapod robot is made to be integrated with the robot's legs. Each leg of the robot consists of 3 joints, joined by a servo motor. There are 18 servo motors. Eight ultrasonic sensors are used to detect surrounding objects, run well, and ability to avoid obstacles. The main orientation of the hexapod robot motion is to move forward, but if there are obstacles, it will find a solution to turn using ultrasonic sensors. An inertial measurement unit sensor is used to maintain the robot’s body’s stability
