Sheet Music Transcription from Audio Record of a Song Played on Sopile
Sopila je tradicionalni, ručno izradeni puhački instrument, uobičajeno sviran u paru, karakterističan za Istarski poluotok u zapadnoj Hrvatskoj. Njezin prodoran zvuk, zajedno sa dvoglasnim pjevanjem u Istarskoj ljestvici sačinjenoj od šest tonova, proglašen je UNESCOvom ne materijalnom baštinom čovječanstva. Postupak pretvorbe audio zapisa u ljudski prihvatljivi oblik - note, uključuje prepoznavanje više tonova i njihove visine. Predloženo rješenje rješava spomenute probleme izvlačeći svojstva frekvencijskog spektra, koristeći tehnike strojnog učenja pod nadzorom, te dodatnom obradom nakon predvidanja. Najbolji model za predvidanje visine tona, odabran je koristeći mrežno pretraživanje za dvije ML tehnike, dodajući, po izboru, izvučena svojstva frekvencijskog spektra. Model je ostvario obečavajuću preciznost za obje postavke, monofonu i polifonu, na novostvorenom skupu podataka (namijenjenom ovoj svrsi). Cjelokupno AMT rješenje, koje se sastoji od mobilne aplikacije i poslužiteljskog API-ja, je dodatno razvijeno. Mobilna aplikacija služi snimanju, označavanju, i učitavanju zvučnih datoteka, dok poslužitelj sadrži logiku i postupke obrade datoteka u notni zapis koji se vraća kao rezultat. Na taj način je pokazano kako prikupljanje i očuvanje tradicionalne glazbe sopila, može biti jednostavno primijenjeno u stvarnoj upotrebi.Sopila is a traditional hand-made woodwind instrument, which is usually played in pair. It can be found in western parts of Croatia, along with two-part singing in the hexatonic Istrian scale. Both sopile and singing, were registered in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This thesis serves as a insight study of automatic music transcription (AMT) for sopile instrument. In order to do that, pitch detection, along with its onsets and offsets had to be provided. This was achieved using frequency-features extraction, supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms, and postprocessing correction methods. With grid search, the best tone-prediction model was determined, optionally using frequency-feature extraction. Datasets used for training and testing were generated for the purpose of this work and performance of the proposed models, for both monophonic and polyphonic setups, were very satisfying. In order to provide insight into how proposed model could be used, proof-of-concept AMT system was developed. It consisted from mobile application for recording, tagging, and uploading audio sources, as well as back-end server that contained ML, preprocessing and postprocessing logic for creating music sheets. End result was pushed back to the mobile application, and thus was demonstrated how preserving traditional music could be done on-the-go and effortlessly

Data collection in soccer encompasses a variety of methods, ranging from simple daily ques
tionnaires that monitor subjective well-being to more sophisticated approaches such as wearable
sensors that track external load during training and matches. While subjective measures like
wellness questionnaires and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) offer insights into players’ inter
nal states, they fall short of providing comprehensive assessments of players’ physical fitness
and performance. Consequently, the use of wearable sensors has become prevalent, offering
detailed metrics such as distance covered, sprints, accelerations, and energy expenditure. These
metrics enable coaches to better manage training loads, plan sessions and monitor the return-to
play (RTP) process after injuries.
However, traditional methods that aggregate data across entire matches often hide the vari
ations in players’ performance throughout the game. This dissertation addresses this issue by
implementing a minute-by-minute analysis of player physical intensity using wearable data, re
vealing more details about players’ fitness levels. By examining how physical performance
fluctuates within different game contexts, the study provides a more accurate reflection of a
player’s condition and readiness.
The relationship between cognitive load (CL) and physical performance is another critical
aspect explored in this work. WhileCL’simpactontacticalandtechnicalaspects is well-studied,
its effects on physical performance, particularly in real-world settings, remain unexplored. Us
ing data fromtheNASA-TLXquestionnaire, thisresearchinvestigates how varying levels of CL
influence physical metrics such as total distance, high-speed running, and deceleration. More
over, the study applies machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify players into motivation
clusters, offering insights into how different motivational factors might affect performance un
der cognitive stress.
Injury recovery is a crucial area in sports, and the RTP process is crucial in ensuring players
return to competition safely. This dissertation advances the understanding of injury manage
ment by developing ML models to predict recovery duration, using data collected by medical
staff. These models are compared with traditional expert-based predictions, demonstrating that
the integration of expert input with ML techniques enhances the accuracy of recovery time es
timates.
In addition to injury recovery, the research focuses on developing individualized fatigue
and recovery profiles. These profiles are essential for conditioning coaches to tailor training regimens and ensure that players return to their pre-injury fitness levels. By providing a de
tailed, data-driven approach to monitoring physical recovery, this dissertation contributes valu
able tools for optimizing player performance and reducing the risk of re-injury.
This work provides a comprehensive framework for soccer performance and recovery anal
ysis, integrating wearable sensor data, cognitive load assessments, and ML techniques. The
findings offer practical applications for coaches and sports scientists, helping them to better un
derstand and manage the complex dynamics of player fitness and performance throughout the

Blended learning in the engineering field
Blended Learning (BL) is defined as a combination of face-to-face and digital activities that, in recent years, has been adopted more and more frequently by Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs). In the engineering field, the adoption of BL allows creating challenging situations for students with industry-like problems to foster the acquisition of advanced problem-solving skills. Thus, it can be used to enhance traditional learning by enriching it with new aspects, allowing to update the Intended Learning Outcomes traditionally defined by teachers. Although prior coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) teachers had the time to prepare and programme the transition to BL, during the pandemic they had to abruptly move to the full digital delivery of the content, requiring technological and organizational adaptation, as well as change in the content teaching and assessment methods. Through a systematic literature review, this paper aims to understand how BL has been implemented in the engineering field by HEIs, discussing if and how the learning expectations of teachers (evaluated through Bloom\u27s Taxonomy) change when using different mixes of face-to-face and digital activities and when the target audience changes. More specifically, the investigation addresses how content and learning expectations are split and set in face-to-face and digital settings. Additionally, the interest is towards understanding how COVID-19 impacted the adoption of BL, not only during the pandemic but also after

Roman primacy and the development of the synodal institution in the period of the Arian controversy
The object of this study is process of evolution of church organization in the 4th century, especially the relationships between Roman primacy and synodal institution in the epoch of the Arian controversy. The author examines evolution of the institution of the Roman synod and practice of participation of the Roman See in church councils outside Rome, focusing on the unsuccessful attempt to convene the general council in Rome in 382. Analysis of historical data shows that the ability of the Roman see to organize in a short time a representative council (mainly of the Italian bishops) allowed Rome to claim for a special status within the church communion. In the same time the Roman See did not become in the 4th century the center of conciliar activity at the universal level. Participation of Rome in Ecumenical and Western councils was quite passive. In the second part of the paper the author attempts to reconstruct various models of church organization, which were typical for the western and the eastern episcopate in the 4th century. The author concludes that the real initiator of the development of universal primacy of Rome was not originally the pope, but the western episcopate (council of Serdica, 343). In the second part of the 4th century pope Damasus developed this conception, putting the principle of primacy of the Roman See as the chair of Peter above principle of synodal consensus. At the same time eastern bishops considered the Roman chair as the center of the West, rather than the head of the whole Church. Sometimes they invited bishop of Rome and other western bishops to act as arbiters in the eastern conflicts, but more often they defended the idea of full autonomy of the East
Extended Energy-Expenditure Model in Soccer: Evaluating Player Performance in the Context of the Game
Every soccer game influences each player’s performance differently. Many studies have tried to explain the influence of different parameters on the game; however, none went deeper into the core and examined it minute-by-minute. The goal of this study is to use data derived from GPS wearable devices to present a new framework for performance analysis. A player’s energy expenditure is analyzed using data analytics and K-means clustering of low-, middle-, and high-intensity periods distributed in 1 min segments. Our framework exhibits a higher explanatory power compared to usual game metrics (e.g., high-speed running and sprinting), explaining 45.91% of the coefficient of variation vs. 21.32% for high-, 30.66% vs. 16.82% for middle-, and 24.41% vs. 19.12% for low-intensity periods. The proposed methods enable deeper game analysis, which can help strength and conditioning coaches and managers in gaining better insights into the players’ responses to various game situations
