Authors: Mallares Dinalyn , Alegata Wayne Custer , Bual Joel
Published: June 2024

Archive document scanning refers to the procedure of converting physical paper records into digital formats, such as images or text files, and establishing a systematic workflow to preserve and access these archived files electronically over an extended period [1]. With the growing acceptance of mobility and digitalization worldwide, institutions such as libraries, government offices, museums, and universities are increasingly adopting document scanning as means to safeguard and preserve historical documents and records. This approach is particularly valuable in preventing the natural degradation and aging of physical documents, as highlighted by Scan2Archive [2]. The purpose of the Admission and Registrar Office (ARO) Mobile Document Scanner with Archiving System is to support the registrar's office in managing student requests and admissions as well as handling the documents that are presented during the enrollment. The office of the registrar will experience a transformation in document handling with the development of a document archiving system, which will promote operational excellence, security, and transparency. With the help of this system, the office's procedures for managing vital records—such as student transcripts, enrollment requirements, and other important paperwork—will be completely transformed. The basis for the development of the system is transforming paper-based records into a digitally accessible format. In evaluating the effectiveness of the application and the system's operation it specified the performance requirements for the software evaluation. The star topology was used as part of the communication interfaces. The thirty (30) respondents tabulated the data in each of the different features of the system are accuracy, user-friendliness, reliability, operability, learning reinforcement, interactivity, compatibility, and the cross-platform environment was rated as "excellent”. The application was made to help the whole process become much more convenient to the admin and staff of the university.
Audio fade profile customizing by imposing the audio volume initial rate of change
Authors: Lupsa-Tataru Lucian
Published: June 2024

By adopting a rational function of degree 1, with the playback position in the course of an audio fade transition as the function input, and the audio volume as the function output, we advance a technique of setting up the audio fade profile by bringing forward a shape parameter that is directly proportional to the initial rate of change of the audio volume. We provide the relationships that are essential for computing the coefficients of the adopted rational function having at hand the audio effect characteristics, i.e. the fade length, initial volume, final volume and the parameter used for shaping. The versatility of the proposed technique is revealed by the numerous curves illustrating fade in, fade up, fade out and fade down transitions. The shape parameter is of key significance here having in view that it decides the pattern to follow. More precisely, one can set the value of the shape parameter in order to get either a fade effect that acts similar to the exponential shape fade or a fade effect that follows the pattern of the logarithmic shape fade. With a view to real time experimentation, a practical application, developed via plain JavaScript, is provided in the paper.

Exploring the Expression of Deconstructionism in Chinese National Costume Design
Authors: Meng Tao , NOR Zainudin Bin MD , Zhong Jing
Published: June 2024

In the mid-20th century, the concept of deconstructionism was first proposed in the field of philosophy. Its emergence subverted entrenched notions and cognitions of traditional structures, fostering a novel mode of anti-traditional thinking. Within the realm of fashion, deconstructionism primarily manifests in breaking the taboos of traditional attire, rendering aesthetic standards more diverse. Designers are empowered to transcend conventional design boundaries in both thought and form, thereby crafting works imbued with greater tension and contradiction. With a history spanning 5000 years, China has witnessed the emergence of numerous distinct traditional garments. The imperative task facing every Chinese designer is how to inherit and evolve these historically significant ethnic attires. Contemporary ethnic-style garment design transcends mere clothing production; it constitutes an endeavor concerning the perpetuation and evolution of ethnic attire and sentiment. Deconstruction serves as a method of garment design, yet it is the national sentiment of the Chinese people that embodies the ultimate essence requiring dissemination and expression in design. The central inquiry of this paper revolves around how to integrate this internationalized deconstruction design method with Chinese traditional attire, thereby endowing traditional clothing with renewed vitality. In the course of this study, a qualitative research approach is predominantly employed. Through comparative analysis of exemplary works of Chinese ethnic-style garment design from both domestic and international sources, the application outcomes of deconstructionism in garment silhouette, pattern, and detail elements are derived. Utilizing structural methods in garment design not only yields innovative stylistic structures but also furnishes additional design insights and space for the future development of ethnic garment design.

Media discourses of the Ukrainian refugees during the war in Ukraine
Authors: Matulić Ivo , Škokić Vlatka
Published: June 2024

Aim: Our main objective was to follow the narrative and de ter­mine the media discourses during the coverage of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the country by three different online news reporting websites: BBC, CNN, and Al Jazeera, each covering distinct geographic areas relevant to the investigation. Methods: Using critical discourse analysis, we conducted this study at three levels by using descriptions, interpreta­tions, and social analysis. Given the extensive scope of the subject, we had to restrict the volume of data (media arti­cles) considered for analysis. A total of six articles from Al Jazeera, nine from CNN, and four from the BBC were metic­ulously analyzed, covering the period from the beginning of the invasion (February 24, 2022) until the end of the year (December 31, 2022). Results: All analyzed media texts portrayed the Ukrainian refugees as safe, educated, and civilized, with the notion that Ukrainian refugees are welcome. The analysis demon­strates different strategies adopted by the media, where CNN attempted to evoke empathy and compassion among the readers, while the BBC and Al Jazeera focused on pre­senting verifiable facts and numerical data. However, in contrast to the BBC and CNN, Al Jazeera was critical of all the state actors on a European and global level and per­ceived that double standards were imposed among the key players. Namely, the classification of actors in the analysis shows how the media created an ‘in­group’ (Ukrainian refu­gees, Europe) and an ‘out­group’ (Russians, other refugees), where the European Union (EU) is considered as the actor that promotes European solidarity and peace. The only oc­casional criticism aimed at the EU came via Al Jazeera. Conclusion: Critical discourse analysis applied in this re­search through the three-dimensional approach clearly demonstrates the role of the media in producing and dis­tributing narratives that determine how Ukrainian refugees are represented. Since the beginning of the war, the media have collectively used respectful language towards the ref­ugees, creating a narrative that Ukraine belongs to an ‘in­group’ representative of European values and norms. Such discourses emphasize the superiority of European values.

Authors: Pataro Igor M. L. , Gil Juan D. , Guzmán José L. , Lemos João M. , Berenguel Manuel
Published: June 2024

La energía solar representa una fuente renovable, versátil y confiable que puede emplearse en experimentos de resistencia de materiales mediante el uso de hornos solares. En este artículo se examina la aplicación de controladores óptimos basados en seguimiento cuadrático lineal con acción de control por adelanto (LQT-FF, por sus siglas en inglés, Linear Quadratic Tracking-FeedForward) para el control de hornos solares utilizados en pruebas de estrés térmico de materiales. El controlador LQT-FF propuesto se fundamenta en estudios previos que ofrecen una solución analítica basada en un modelo lineal del horno solar, reduciendo en este caso el coste computacional del algoritmo de control óptimo. La contribución principal de este trabajo radica en la formulación incremental de este modelo, incorporando un integrador artificial a los estados originales. Además, se utiliza el análisis de estabilidad robusta para sintonizar el LQT-FF considerando el estimador de estados en lazo cerrado. El correcto funcionamiento del controlador propuesto se ha verificado sobre un modelo no lineal del horno solar SF60 de la Plataforma Solar de Almería. Los resultados obtenidos suponen un avance significativo en los controladores óptimos existentes en la literatura, ya que el controlador LQT-FF resulta en una ley de control óptima con rechazo de perturbaciones formulada mediante una forma incremental de las entradas, la cual elimina el error de seguimiento de referencia con una sintonía estable para todo el rango de operación de la planta. Por otro lado, esta ley de control se puede implementar eficientemente y con menor esfuerzo computacional, lo que resulta crucial para su implementación.

La presunción familiar en la sociedad moderna. Análisis y crítica
Authors: Benítez Pérez Manuel
Published: June 2024

La presunción familiar es una norma que permite la atracción indirecta de residentes fiscales a la jurisdicción española. Su actual configuración y técnica presenta importantes limitaciones y problemáticas que deben ser abordadas desde una perspectiva crítica que permita su superación y avance, en coherencia con las nuevas tendencias sociales. Asimismo, la convergencia con los criterios de la fiscalidad internacional es una cuestión pendiente que también puede solucionarse con una actualización de esta norma. La sociedad actual está formada por núcleos familiares, pero estos son cada vez más diversos y heterogéneos, de hecho, inclasificables. La presunción de que el contribuyente será residente fiscal en España si su cónyuge no separado legalmente y sus hijos menores de edad dependientes de aquel lo son no es suficiente y es incapaz de entender la realidad sociológica actual desde el punto de vista de la residencia fiscal.
