Abstract:
The students in an introductory physics class for non-science majors are not likely to have sophisticated computer skills. However, many of them have become Web surfers and can be enticed to use the Web as part of their study of physics. Our initial efforts have focused on using the Web to improve courses for elementary and secondary education majors. Materials available to the students include both academic and administrative activities. Students may have access to items such as the course syllabus and up-to-date information on their grades. On the academic side, practice tests, textbook pages, and some interactive programs are available. In developing these materials we have incorporated a variety of techniques including HTML files, C programs, the Macromedia Director Shockwave plug-in, and the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. In all of the efforts we have attempted to minimize the amount of time spent on software development.

Abstract:
The article considers the most modern software that can be used in the development of various architectural and design projects of interior and exterior spaces, as well as highlights the features and benefits of using each of them in projects within the disciplines of specialty 191 Architecture and Urban Planning. The main problem of modern architectural education is that with evolution of computer technologies, began the active development, implementation and modernization of various software tools for various types of design, 3-D modeling, sketching, etc. This area has developed very rapidly and almost every year new versions of programs are developed, where new features appear that increase the quality, efficiency, convenience and speed of work with these programs. Due to such a rapid software update, the previously developed curricula for the specialty 191 Architecture and Urban Planning need to be updated. Today in the world there is a situation that the greater the number of programs owned by the employee and the higher the skill of working with them, the greater the value and need for staff in the global labor market. Therefore, modern educational programs need to be modernized by introducing practical work with new software, which was discussed in the article. Namely, the Magic Plan, Ruler App and Photo Ruler programs that will be useful for measuring the designed premises. Home Design 3D and Homestyler interior design programs will come in handy for developing and approving a general interior design solution with a customer. To develop the working documentation, the CAD programs Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Autocad, Graphisoft Archicad and the BIMx Viever application were considered. BIMx Viever may be needed for demonstrating the work done to the customer or additional consultations with him. The article also discussed 3-D modeling programs Sketchup, Sculptris, Autodesk 3ds Max, Grasshopper and visualization programs Corona Render, V-Ray, Lumion and Abvent Artlantis. Additionally, the programs that may be needed for designing a project album were considered, they include CAD programs, programs for working with PDF files such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, and graphic editors Adobe Photoshop and its analogues.

Abstract:
Adobe Photoshop has been the defacto standard for imaging professionals for many years. Most scientists have adopted this program because of the ease of use and the quality of the output. It is obvious to most who use this program that most users only master a limited subset of this programs' capabilities.This session is an attempt to introduce more of this imaging applications' capabilites from one of Adbobe's Photoshop Evangelists. I will try to show you how to get the most out of Adobe Photoshop by revealing the most productive and efficient digital imaging workflows. I will focus on developing a greater understanding of the current technology within this powerful imaging application program as well as explain the most efficient methods of manipulating, printing, and posting images on the web. I will demonstrate quick and easy ways to crop and resize images as well as make tonal changes and apply custom color tables (Fig. 1).

Abstract:
The use of electronic files made universally readable in Adobe Acrobat will eventually replace paper submission in nearly every avenue used by scientists, whether files go to grants agencies, to reviewers, to colleagues via e-mail, or to publishers. It's for the obvious reason of reducing paper and the costs of mailing, but also because fonts often misbehave when going across operating system platforms, and because seemingly everyone has the Acrobat Reader, A better understanding of Adobe Acrobat can go a long way toward reducing the frustration that can easily arise from using this program inappropriately and ending up with poor image resolution.

Abstract:
PowerPoint has traditionally been the software of choice for slide shows tit conferences and meetings. Its ease of use has made the program ideal, along with its universality among scientists and engineers.The program does have its drawbacks, however. Most notably, it is saved in a format that essentially makes it unusable for any other purpose than that of a slide show. It cannot be used for publication, and, as many discover all too late, it is not the software of choice for making posters (both these phenomena go back to Microsoft's refusal to pay a license to Adobe for PostScript, the universally used “page description language” among publishers). The remainder of the drawbacks exist when the slide show needs to be distributed. Newer versions of PowerPoint can make HTML files for posting on a web site by using Save As under File, but saving in the PowerPoint format has not evolved as a way to view slide shows on the web.

Abstract:
Most PDF documents are inaccessible for people with disabilities, creating barriers in education, science, commerce, e-government, and recreation. Documents in PDF format are considered harder to make accessible than documents in other formats, primarily due to the insufficient tools available to assist content creators. In this article, we present the research and development of Ally, a new tool to assist content creators in remediating their PDF files to improve accessibility. Ally utilizes best practices from other areas of HCI research to create a more efficient and effective interaction for remediating regions, headers, reading order, and tables in a PDF document for improved accessibility. Twenty participants attempted to complete the same PDF accessibility remediation tasks using both Ally and a standard industry tool, Adobe Acrobat Pro. Ally was almost twice as fast and three times as accurate compared to Acrobat Pro, with participants reporting a strong preference for and a much higher level of satisfaction with Ally. The approaches taken in Ally improve the ability to create accessible PDFs efficiently and accurately for the four important aspects studied, but future work will need to incorporate additional functionality, related to remediating alt text, forms, and other aspects of PDF accessibility.

Abstract:
Although pragmatic markers (PMs) play a very significant role in our daily conversation, they have been neglected in the Kurdish language. The aim of the present study is to analyse, compare and find out the translation errors and which type of error is the most common one in translating five pragmatic markers namely just, but, oh, and, and well in English movie scripts with Kurdish subtitles. To conduct this study, two movies were chosen. The movies were selected from two different decades, the 1970s and the 2020s. After the selection of the movies, five commonly used PMs which were mentioned in Brinton’s (1996) inventory of PMs were searched and obtained by the aid of computer software (Microsoft Office Word and Adobe Acrobat Reader). The obtained PMs in this study were analysed carefully by the researcher and errors in translation were identified. The results reveal that deletion is the most prevailing error made by Kurdish translators in the translation of PMs in movie subtitles followed by foreign translation and translation into a different PM and mistranslation errors.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office San Francisco Bay (MSO SFB) embarked on a major revision of its three Area Contingency Plans (ACPs) and published them in a new consolidated Incident Command System (ICS) based plan. Restructuring the plans to an ICS format involved consolidating over 1800 pages, adding information and reformatting the sections into recognizable divisions that are understandable to any spill responder who understands ICS. Due to the large number of sensitive sites within the San Francisco Bay and Delta (SFBD) region, this section of the ACP was reorganized and divided into Geographics Response Plans (GRPs) or geographic zones for ease of use. The SFBD GRPs have color maps that show the sensitive sites in that zone for easy identification. The new ACP can be easily accessed via any computer platform using Adobe Acrobat PDF files. The online version allows the user to zoom into any desired area with linked tables of contents and GRP map links to the sensitive sites. MSO SFB has successfully marketed this plan by publishing it on its Web site. Essential elements of an ICS based ACP and computer enhancements are presented along with problems encountered.

Abstract:
TRAINING FOR MAKING FLASH-BASED MATHEMATICS LEARNING MEDIA USING ANIMATE ADOBE FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN KUNINGAN DISTRICT. The purpose of the community partnership program for MGMP teachers at the Kuningan Cluster and Luragung Clusters in Kuningan Regency is to improve teacher competency in creating, developing and implementing flash-based mathematics learning media using Adobe Animate. The problem faced by partners is in implementing mathematics learning in schools that are still dominated through the use of textbooks, so that the teacher’s ability to demonstrate mathematical concepts in learning is still lacking. This was allegedly due to the limited ability of teachers to use learning media, especially ICT-based media. Mathematical MGMP SMP Kuningan cluster and Luragung cluster in Kuningan Regency have a sufficient number of teacher members, but in terms of competence still needs improvement. Understanding of computer-based learning is still very minimal because mathematics teachers have not received specific training on ICT-based mathematics learning. To overcome this condition an activity was packaged in the form of training on the development of flash-based mathematics learning devices using adobe animate for the mathematics MGMP of the Brass Cluster and Luragung Group. This activity was carried out through the following stages: 1) the provision of flash-based mathematics learning and development workshops using adobe animate; 2) mentoring in making flash-based mathematics learning devices using adobe animate; 3) mentoring implementation of flash-based mathematics learning devices using adobe animate; and 4) evaluation and replication.

Abstract:
Software is data that is programmed, stored, and digitally formatted with a specific function. This device itself does not have a physical form, you can operate it via a computer. For its own manufacture, this device requires a programming language written by a programmer/person who is an expert in the field. The reason is, with software that is a command program to run the needs on a computer. Adobe Indesign is a software to layout a magazine or book. In the process of applying Adobe Indesign, all materials are prepared neatly and are in one folder in order to facilitate the place in the process of laying out books or magazines as one of the final goals to be done. Even though it is neat, the important point is how to style a design work in the form of a book or magazine which will later be published to the public. To achieve this, it is necessary to pay attention to various design elements and principles in the layout. Adobe Indesign is often used by designers or smaller is a magazine designer in helping the process of arranging the layout and making it easier to create page by page. This software allows designers to lay out more pages in one book and certainly not too big if used as a raw file. With some of the above foundations, we plan to carry out community service activities with the concept of "Adobe Indesign Training for SMKN 58 Teachers to Improve Productive Teacher Competence". It is hoped that with this community service activity, which contains several Adobe Indesign operating materials, it can make it easier for SMKN 58 teachers to teach the software to students and of course can improve skill competence.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Spill responders, state and federal agencies, and responsible parties have all acknowledged the fact that the permits, forms, and applications required to mount an effective oil spill response can often slow down the response progress or lead to unnecessary confusion. In Alaska, there are forms in use that are copies of copies of forms that have not been updated in years. In other cases, standard agency forms that are available as Word documents have been slightly modified by various users over time. Some forms appear unnecessary in the response effort and may well be carryovers from other venues. This problem has been exacerbated as many Alaska state agencies have reorganized and in some cases, permitting authorities have been transferred. The Spill Response Permits Project was initiated by the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council (CIRCAC) in response to a common concern, voiced by response organizations, responsible parties, and state and federal agencies, that the paperwork burden associated with an Alaska oil spill response is excessive. CIRCAC provided initial funding to form a work group of industry, agency, and response organization representatives that would be charged with taking a fresh look at Alaska's spill permitting requirements. The work group, co-chaired by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, the US Coast Guard, and the Tesoro Alaska Company, began by identifying all oil spill response activities that might generate the need to fill out a permit or authorization form. Next, they inventoried and collected the most up-to-date versions of all permits. Work group participants, including oil spill response cooperatives as well as state and federal agencies with permitting authority, then reviewed all forms and deleted outdated or duplicated requirements. Once the list of permits had been updated, the work group then developed a computer-based organizational tool that could be used to sort, fill out, submit, and file applicable permit forms during an oil spill response or exercise. The computer interface allows the user to enter incident-specific information into a central data set, so that the data may then be exported to the required permit forms with a simple mouse click. The computer tool can be run on any computer platform, with files available for download from the Internet or stored on a CD-Rom. The tool uses the Adobe Acrobat® software application and fills out and stores permit forms in Adobe portable document format (PDF).

Abstract:
A picture is said to be worth a thousand words; in the different fields of microscopy pictures are often our data as well. We interpret, analyze, and share images with our colleagues, and so image preparation, enhancement and presentation are crucial for this process. As image acquisition in microscopy moves away from capture on photographic film in favor of digital imaging methods, digital manipulation of visual data for presentation requires learning to use computer software tools. Adobe Photoshop, currently the standard in the community of both artists and scientists, is a powerful program, but it is NOT specifically designed for scientific data, and so contains dozens of features and tools that may and/or must be avoided in the preparation of micrographs for scientific publication. The learning curve for this type of software can be steep, but the steps outlined below may help to get you started.

Abstract:
The Derm Imaging Center uses various light and electron microscopic techniques to determine meaningful morphologic differences in skin samples received from multiple investigators. Qualitative comparisons required laborious hand measurements, which, in time gave way to computer assisted image capture, enhancement and analysis. The ability to attach a numerical value to a morphologic observation has made quantification an expected component of the experimental results. Laboratory personnel are now spending more time in front of computers than microscopes. This fact prompted a reevaluation of our current methods resulting in a faster, user-friendly computer assisted imaging system.One software program that has become ubiquitous within the field of scientific imaging is Adobe® Photoshop®. Although a multitude of different image capture and analysis software programs are in use, a version of Photoshop® can invariably be found residing in most laboratories involved in imaging. A disadvantage of many image analysis software programs is the lack of image enhancement capability that we have grown to know and love within the Photoshop® environment.

Abstract:
<p>The Mango Suite is a set of three freely downloadable cross-platform authoring programs for flexible network-based CALL exercises. They are Adobe Air applications, so they can be used on Windows, Macintosh, or Linux computers, provided the freely-available Adobe Air has been installed on the computer. The exercises which the programs generate are all Adobe Flash based. The three programs are: (1) Mango-multi, which constructs multiple-choice exercises with an optional sound and/or image; (2) Mango-match, which is for word/phrase matching exercises, and has an added feature intended to promote memorization, whereby an item must be matched correctly not once but an optional consecutive number of times; (3) Mango-gap, which produces seamless gap filling exercises, where the gaps can be as small as desired, down to the level of individual letters, and correction feedback is similarly detailed. Sounds may also be inserted at any desired points within the text, so that it is suitable for listening or dictation exercises. Each exercise generated by any of the programs is produced in the form of a folder containing all of the necessary files for immediate upload and deployment (except that if sound files are used in a Mango-gap exercise, they must be copied to the folder manually). The html file in which the flash exercise is embedded may be edited in any way to suit the user, and an xml file controlling the appearance of the exercise itself may be edited through a wysiwyg interface in the authoring program. The programs aim to combine ease of use with features not available in other authoring programs, toprovide a useful teaching and research tool.</p>

Abstract:
Background: The article presents our own experience of using computer tomography for identification of individuals with known results. Aims: The aim of the study was to verify the possibility of performing an identification study using a three-dimensional model obtained from computed tomography of the head. Identification was performed using a three-dimensional model of the head, based on computer tomography sections made in various projections, with a step of 1.231.25 mm. Two-dimensional images of the face (photos) were used for comparison. All comparative studies were conducted using approved methods of craniofacial and portrait identification: by reference points and contours. The experiment used a computer program that allows you to export DICOM-files of computed tomography results to other formats (InVesalius), as well as computer programs that directly work with the research objects (Autodesk 3ds Max, alternative programs Adobe Photoshop, Smith Micro Poser Pro). Results: In the course of research, it was found that, having computer tomography data of the head, it is possible to conduct identification studies on the following parameters: on the reconstructed three-dimensional model of the soft tissues of the face, on the three-dimensional model of the skull (craniofacial identification), on the features of the structure of the ear. Conclusion: Positive results were obtained when comparing objects, which makes it advisable to use them in practical and scientific activities.

Abstract:
Purpose: To compare the aspect of the reproduction accuracy in studied methods of determination of the (CR) of jaws using the digital research methods. The methods used were bilateral manipulation by P.E. Dawson, frontal deprogrammer, leaf gauge, and intraoral device for recording of Gothic arch angle. Methods: To determine the reproduction accuracy of the centric relation of jaws, we examined 5 patients with intact dentition in a prosthetic dentistry clinic (first class in Angle’s system). For each method, 20 registrations of the centric jaw relation were carried out by one operator. The breaks between definitions were 30 minutes. A total of 400 CR recording operations were carried out (400 records of CR). In order to study the reproducibility of CR determination methods, 200 recorded mandible positions were analyzed by means of an analog-to-digital method (a macro kit Canon 650D, Canon 60 mm macro IS USM f2.8, Canon macro ring MR-14 EX and the computer program Adobe Photoshop) to assess the first occlusal contact obtained in the CR of jaws, while the other 200 were analyzed by means of a digital method (the computer program Avantis for 3D modeling, Prime as a laboratory 3D scanner (DOF), and Trios as an intraoral scanner (3Shape)) to assess the spatial position of the mandible in the CR. Statistical analysis was carried out using STATISTICA-10. In all statistical analysis procedures, the critical significance level p was assumed to be 0.05. Results: In the study of the data by means of the computer program Avanti 3D, the reproducibility of the mandible position in the CR reached 0.119 ± 0.012 mm for frontal deprogrammer, 0.225 ± 0.028, p ≤ 0.05 for bilateral manipulation by Dawson P.E., 0.207 ± 0.02, p ≤ 0.05 for leaf gauge, and 0.120 ± 0,013, p ≤ 0.05 using an intraoral device for recording the Gothic arch angle. The analog-to-digital method showed an identical tendency for reproduction of the mandible position. Conclusions: The digital analysis we made using the Avantis 3D program showed, with high confidence, that the maximum reproducibility of the CR position was reached by using our own design frontal deprogrammer and the device for recording Gothic arch angle.

Abstract:
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Three-dimensional images of the area were begun to create in the middle ages. The discoveries of new territories had led to the necessity of their mapping. On the perspective-panoramic maps of that time cities and fortresses were often depicted as they could be seen by an approaching traveler, usually from the most impressive side, from "bird's eye view". Cartographic images were performed manually, by the method of engraving on wood or on copper.</p><p> One of the first panoramic maps of Belarusian cities was a cartographic image of the city of Grodno, presented in The Large Atlas of Cities called "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" ("Cities of the world"). The Atlas was published by the cartographer Georg Braun and engraver of maps Franz Hogenberg in Cologne in 1572–1617. The main method of presentation of the cities in it was a picture.</p><p> A significant contribution to the development of cartography in Belarus was made by cartographer, artist, engraver and printer, the creator of the map of The Grand Duchy of Lithuania (1613) Tomasz Makowski. For many years Makowski were traveling all over the country and thoroughly studying its features as a topographer, historian, artist and geographer. He examined and sketched the most outstanding objects, as evidenced by his panoramic images of some cities. In particular, he created panoramic engravings of Nesvizh, Grodno, Brest and other cities of modern Belarus.</p><p> Nowadays, the traditions of medieval art cartography in Belarus have received a new development in the works of artist-cartographer Ruben Atoyan. Initially, cartographic images were made manually with ink and watercolors. Panoramic maps of the main cities of Belarus, including Minsk, Grodno, Gomel, Mogilev, Mir, Nesvizh, Novogrudok, etc. were created in a such way.</p><p> With the usage of computer technologies at the present stage, the technique of creating of artistic cartographic images has significantly changed. The majority of types of work which was performed previously by creating on paper, now is possible to implement using a personal computer, graphics tablet and vector and raster graphics programs. During this process – and it's very important – the handwritten style of images is kept and the ability of operative update of the content is provided. However, there are some types of artistic and cartographic work which easier and faster to accomplish manually than on the computer, for example, drawing of different types of trees, grasses, waters of rivers and lakes. In this case it's possible to speak about the combined handwriting-automated technology of artistic map image creation which includes elements made manually and the separated stages and elements which advisable to perform on the computer.</p><p> The construction of the perspective image of an urban landscape according to the method developed by the author conditionally consists of several stages.</p><p> The first step includes the selection of the projection direction and determination of the territory coverage by remote sensing images of the Earth and the city plan. The previously developed template of perspective (central) projection is used to build a perspective grid on the sheet of the drawing paper. Then the road network and configuration of the structures are drawn.</p><p> The second stage is the construction of buildings’ frames of complex configuration (for example, architectural monuments) and drawing them in ink.</p><p> The third stage includes the color design (with watercolor) of significant parkland, forests, and water areas. It was determined empirically that this type of work is more appropriate to perform manually.</p><p> The handwritten component of this technique is completed by scanning of the image in high resolution. Further, the creation of a panoramic map is carried out with the usage of vector and raster graphics programs.</p><p> The fourth stage involves the detailing of the facades, i.e. filling the frames with structural elements from the pre-created library of signs (different types of windows, doors, arches, balconies, etc.) (using the vector graphics program Adobe Illustrator).</p><p> At the final, the fifth stage, the concluding color design of the panorama is realized according to the library of colors and textures (using the raster graphics program Adobe Photoshop).</p><p> The similar steps are performed in graphic editors during the creating of a panoramic map using the automated technique. This method involves the usage of computer technologies only. Thus, at the first level of visualization the plan of the territory based on an aerial photograph of the city is created in the program Adobe Illustrator. Then this scheme is transformed into a perspective projection using the tool “Perspective Distort” in the Free transform toolset. The construction of all buildings’ frames (including structures of complex configuration) is also implemented in vector format with the tools "Pen" and "Line Segment" (the second level of visualization). At the third and fourth levels, the frames are filled with structural elements, and then the whole cartographic image is made in color according to the libraries of textures and colors.</p><p> Operational updating of the content of panoramas created earlier is carried out mainly by the combined technique with the usage of Adobe Photoshop: new buildings which were drawn manually or on a computer are combined with the scanned original, the colors of facades and roofs are updated, park spaces and road junctions are added. For these purposes the following tools are used: "Polygonal Lasso", "Brush", "Clone Stamp", "Color Replacement ", – as well as the options "Curves", "Color Balance", "Hue/Saturation" of the section Image/Adjustment.</p><p> The combined handwritten and automated method of constructing of three-dimensional cartographic images was tested by the author during the creating and updating of the panoramic maps of cities not only of Belarus, but also other world-class cities: Berlin, Moscow, Yerevan, Astana.</p><p> Currently, the author is working on the practical usage of this method of creating of artistic cartographic images for the development of electronic multi-scale applications for the cities of the Republic of Belarus.</p>

Abstract:
This article discusses a very well-known and frequently used technique for an implementation of a variety of artistic projects - a collage created by means of information technology. The article tells about using collage in higher education for teaching graphics, in particular, raster editors. Graphics editors such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP are included in the Computer Science and Information Technology program. Students get the opportunity to create graphic images regardless of their prior art education. The introduction of the topic "Creating a collage by means of a raster editor" introduces a creative element into IT disciplines and develops the student's associative thinking at the level of brain functioning. As a rule, raster editors are used to edit an image, not to create it. Therefore, preparation for these classes encourages students to search for the necessary visual material on the Internet. In order to obtain more personal images, a deep study of photography techniques is required. It is also useful to study the history of photo and film collages, their texture and structure. The scope of the collage use is various. This is psychology, teaching foreign languages and, of course, fine arts. Advertising posters that we see in large numbers in the media and transport are also collages. The article traces the history of collage creation from ancient Egyptian history to modern advertising products. It is especially interesting to study the time when collage became a conscious technique. This is a great layer of avant-garde art.

Abstract:
This work covers current questions on studying structural changes in the wall of the abdominal aorta during the modelled long-term immobilization stress against vagotonia. The purpose of this study was to reveal the effect of prolonged vagotonia on the structure of the wall of the abdominal aorta in rats in the experiment. The studies were performed on three comparable groups of hundred-day Wistar rats, which were exposed to immobilization stress and vagotonia for a period of 10 days. Immobilization was chosen as a method to induce stress model. The rats were placed into a special plastic box, in this way limiting their movements for four hours at room temperature. Vagotonia was modelled by the administration of pyridostigmine bromide, reversible anticholinesterase. Histological preparations of the abdominal aorta were studied by x40, x100, x400 magnification using the Primo Star 5 microscope (Carl Zeiss, FRG) followed by photography of microscopic images. Computer morphometry was performed with x100 and x400 magnification and then the image were displayed on the computer monitor using the DVR and AxioVision image analysis software (Rel.4.8.2) in μm. We assessed the thickness of the subendothelial layer, and namely an internal elastic membrane and media. The ratio of the extent of the abdominal aorta lumen to the vascular wall was calculated in the Adobe Photoshop program by the A. A. Glagoliev method through overlaying of point grids on sections, the results were converted into percentages. The studies were carried out in five fields of five different sections in each rat. The results of the variation analysis of the morphological data obtained have revealed some features of restructuring the vascular wall of the abdominal aorta due to prolonged immobilization stress accompanied by vagotonia. It has been found out that prolonged exposure of hundred-day Wistar rats to immobilization stress leads to a decrease in thickness and certain morphological changes in all layers of the abdominal aorta wall and a decrease in the percentage of the component of the vessel wall. When accompanied by prolonged immobilization and vagotonia, preservation of the endothelial layer of the abdominal aorta was observed against the background of a decrease in intimal thickness and degenerative cell changes, as well as media thickening and focal changes in adventitia.

Abstract:
When the researchers conducted studies Implementation Method Waterfall In Registration Information System Web-Based Outpatient Mobile, researchers found that the health center belongs to the municipality located in the village of Lubuk Tanjung Lubuk Linggau felt the need for development in line with increased demand for health services for the community. PHC Tanjung Lubuk Housing is in the process of registration of outpatients manuallyor still use conventional manner, includes data recording the identity of the patient, make a list of queues, search medical records of patients, as well as card making patients. When enrollment of patients when treatment would still be written in a ledger and patient data and data ever experienced disease (medical records) was recorded in the general ledger and certain records and stored in a special file. This often times lead to errors and writing the name of the same patient when treated umpteenth time and the difficulty in grouping the data requires considerable time as well as the lack of assurance of data security. If we want to find the patient data needed to be looking in the archives of books one by one to determine such data. With the support of information technology, manual processing in the clinic can be replaced using a computer. In addition to fast and easy with the information system has been made of data processing has also become more accurate. The method used in the information system of registration of outpatient-based mobile web in BPS town Lubuklinggau this, and to know the running system, using a structured approach using several tools like Uml, use case diagrams, activity, sequence diagram, class diagram , while for the system development method using a sequential linear or often called "the development cycle of the classic" or "waterfall model / waterfall". Support software used is Xampp, Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, PHP, and MySQL databases as well as the builder of program documentation and reports. With a system based on the mobile web, which is already connected to the Internet, of course, would greatly facilitate the processing of census data suseda to be stored and will be very helpful in terms of data storage census suseda, because each finished data can be collected more quickly, accurately and save time with the specified schedule.

Abstract:
PurposeChanges in file format specifications challenge long-term preservation of digital documents. Digital archives thus often focus on specific file formats that are well suited for long-term preservation, such as the PDF/A format. Since only few customers submit PDF/A files, digital archives may consider converting submitted files to the PDF/A format. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachThe authors evaluated three software tools for batch conversion of common file formats to PDF/A-1b: LuraTech PDF Compressor, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and 3-HeightsTMDocument Converter by PDF Tools. The test set consisted of 80 files, with 10 files each of the eight file types JPEG, MS PowerPoint, PDF, PNG, MS Word, MS Excel, MSG and “web page.”FindingsBatch processing was sometimes hindered by stops that required manual interference. Depending on the software tool, three to four of these stops occurred during batch processing of the 80 test files. Furthermore, the conversion tools sometimes failed to produce output files even for supported file formats: three (Adobe Pro) up to seven (LuraTech and 3-HeightsTM) PDF/A-1b files were not produced. Since Adobe Pro does not convert e-mails, a total of 213 PDF/A-1b files were produced. The faithfulness of each conversion was investigated by comparing the visual appearance of the input document with that of the produced PDF/A-1b document on a computer screen. Meticulous visual inspection revealed that the conversion to PDF/A-1b impaired the information content in 24 of the converted 213 files (11 percent). These reproducibility errors included loss of links, loss of other document content (unreadable characters, missing text, document part missing), updated fields (reflecting time and folder of conversion), vector graphics issues and spelling errors.Originality/valueThese results indicate that large-scale batch conversions of heterogeneous files to PDF/A-1b cause complex issues that need to be addressed for each individual file. Even with considerable efforts, some information loss seems unavoidable if large numbers of files from heterogeneous sources are migrated to the PDF/A-1b format.
